12.                               Modification.    This Agreement may not be modified orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.

 

13.                               Void or Unenforceable Provisions.    If any provision of this Agreement is found to be void or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless be binding upon the parties with the same force and effect as though the void or unenforceable part had been severed and deleted.

 

14.                               Inconsistent Provisions.   It is in the intent of the parties that this Agreement and the Original Lease are to be read and construed together, to the extent reasonably possible.  However, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and provisions of this
