Document or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or
otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Pledgee

part of the Pledgee to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall operate as
a waiver thereof.

referred to in the following sentence) shall not have any of the duties,
obligations or liabilities of a general partner or limited partner of any

Section 20, the Pledgee, by accepting this Agreement, did not intend to become a

Interest therein. The Pledgee shall have only those powers set forth herein and

any event obligate the Pledgee to appear in or defend any action or proceeding
relating to the Collateral to which it is not a party, or to take any action
hereunder or thereunder, or to expend any money or incur any expenses or perform
or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the Collateral.
21. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
successors and assigns of the Pledgor (although the Pledgor may not assign its
rights and obligations hereunder) and shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Pledgee and its successors and assigns. The Pledgee may
assign its rights and delegate its obligations under this Agreement, in each
case in full or in part, to a bank, financial institution or other entity, in
which event, upon written notice thereof by the Pledgee to the Pledgor, the
assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided
therein), the same rights and benefits as it would have had if it were the
Pledgee hereunder. The Pledgee may furnish any information concerning the
Pledgor, in the possession of the Pledgee from time to time, to assignees
(including prospective assignees), including, without limitation, any and all
documentation relating to the Partnership Interests and the results of the
Pledgee's examination of the operations, books and records of each Subsidiary

the same agreement.
24. SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement prohibited by the
laws of any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition, or modified to conform with such laws, without

other jurisdiction.
