3.3No Implied Waiver

 

The rights of the Holder (whether arising under this Debenture, any other agreement or at law or in equity) will not be capable of being waived or varied otherwise than by an express waiver or variation in writing, and in particular any failure to exercise or any delay in exercising any of such rights will not operate as a waiver or variation of that or any other such right; any defective or partial exercise of any of such rights will not preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other such right, and no act or course of conduct or negotiation on the part of the Holder or on its behalf will in any way preclude the Holder from exercising any such right or constitute a suspension or any variation of any such right.

 

3.4Rights Cumulative

 

The rights, remedies and powers conferred by this Article 3 are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights, remedies or powers that the Holder may have under this Debenture, at law, in equity, or by any other statute or agreement.
