Debtor waives acceptance of this Pledge Agreement.

10. Release of Pledged Interests. After all payments due under the Note and under this Pledge Agreement have been made and all covenants, agreements, obligations, terms and conditions under the Note and under this Pledge Agreement have been performed, satisfied or waived, Secured Party shall deliver to Debtor such instruments as may be necessary to cancel this Pledge Agreement and revest the Pledged Interests in Debtor free and clear of the lien hereof.

The enumeration of certain rights and remedies in this Pledge Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of, nor an impairment in any way of, other rights and remedies of Secured Party. No waiver or consent granted by Secured Party in respect of this Pledge Agreement shall be binding upon Secured Party unless specifically granted in writing, which writing shall be strictly construed. No course of dealing in respect of, nor omission or delay in the exercise of, any right, power or privilege by Secured Party shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any further or other exercise thereof, as each right, power and privilege may be exercised by Secured Party either independently or concurrently with other rights, powers and privileges and as often and in such order as Secured Party may deem expedient.

16. Further Assurances.
