                No failure on the part of Holder to exercise, and no delay in exercising,
                any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
                any
                single or partial exercise by Holder of any right hereunder preclude
                any
                other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
