No waiver by any of the parties of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and executed by the party sought to be charged with such waiver. No action taking pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

7.7    Reservation of Stock. If the number of shares of Conversion Stock or other securities authorized and reserved for issuance upon conversion of this Note shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of the Balance of this Note, then the Company shall take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but






unissued shares of Conversion Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion of this Note as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
