6.            No course of dealing on the part of Bank or its officers, nor any
failure or delay in the exercise of any right by Bank, shall operate as a waiver
thereof, and any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude
any later exercise of any such right.  Bank's failure at any time to require

respective terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects.  Except
as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this

power, or remedy of Bank under the Agreement, as in effect prior to the date
hereof.

Warranties contained in the Agreement are true and correct as of the date of
