Executive will not, directly or indirectly, take any of the following actions,

entitled, if it so elects, to institute and prosecute proceedings in any court
of competent jurisdiction, either in law or in equity, to enforce the specific
performance thereof by the Executive. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the parties acknowledge that a breach by the Executive of his

(d) Waivers. The waiver of either party hereto of any right hereunder or of any
failure to perform or breach by the other party hereto shall not be deemed a
waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other failure or breach by the
other party hereto, whether of the same or a similar nature or otherwise. No
waiver shall be deemed to have occurred unless set forth in writing executed by
or on behalf of the waiving party. No such written waiver shall be deemed a
continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall
operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not
constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future or as to any act
other than that specifically waived.
