No waiver by City of any of the conditions hereof shall be effective unless in a writing expressly identifying the scope of the waiver and signed on behalf of an authorized official of City. Any alteration, change or modification of or to the Agreement, in order to become effective, shall be made in writing and in each instance signed on behalf of each party hereto.
17. SUBORDINATION.
