          The foregoing is not a waiver of any other requirement of the Loan and related Loan Documents and applies only to the specific consent granted herein.  The granting of such consent and the execution of this Agreement in no way obligates the Lender, the Servicer or any subsequent holder of the Note, to grant any future consents or waivers nor does it establish in any way a pattern or practice of dealing that the Borrower, the Existing Partners, the Existing Indemnitor, the New Partners and the New Indemnitors may rely upon in seeking any other consent or waiver.
