interest, shall be irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully paid
and performed. The power of attorney conferred on the Pledgee pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 11 is provided solely to protect the interests of the
Pledgee and shall not impose any duty on the Pledgee to exercise any such power,

hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default or in any
breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor
any delay in exercising, on the part of the Pledgee, any right, power or
privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
A waiver by the Pledgee of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion
shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Pledgee would
otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided
are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of
any rights or remedies provided by law.
