Agreement, Policy Assignment and the Buy--Sell Ageement are not
exclusive and shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be
pursued singly, successively or together, at the sole discretion
of the Holder and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor
shall occur. The failure to exercise any such right or remedy
shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof, nor
as a waiver or release of such right or remedy as to a subsequent
event.
Forbearance. The Holder shall not be deemed, by any act of
omission or commission, to have waived any of its rights or
remedies hereunder (unless such waiver is in writing and signed by
the holder of the Note and then only to the extent specifically
set forth in the writing . ) A waiver with reference to one event
shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or waiver of

hereby waives demand, presentment, notice of nonpayment, protest,
notice of protest, notice of dishonor, and diligence in collection

time release any part or parts of the property and interests
subject to the Mortgage with or without consideration, and that in
