Deed and Rules, dated June 6, 2002 (as amended from time to time).

Section 13.  Entire Agreement.  The Purchase Agreement (as amended by this

parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and
supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among
the Sellers and the Purchaser with respect to the subject matter hereof and
thereof.

Section 14.  Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Amendment is
invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all
other terms and provisions of this Amendment shall nevertheless remain in full
force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the
transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (as amended by this
Amendment) is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either party
hereto.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in
good faith to modify the Purchase Agreement (as amended by this Amendment) so as
to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a
mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by the
Purchase Agreement (as amended by this Amendment) are consummated as originally
contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Amendment and (only for the limited purpose of such enforcement) submit to the
jurisdiction thereof; provided, that if the U.S. Bankruptcy Court determines
that it does not have subject matter jurisdiction over any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Amendment, then the Debtors and the

determined in a New York federal court sitting in The City of New York;
(b) irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of such court in any such action or
proceeding; (c) consent that any such action or proceeding may be brought in

to the venue or jurisdiction or that such action or proceeding was brought in an
inconvenient court; and (d) agree that service of process in any such action or
proceeding may be effected by providing a copy thereof by any of the methods of
delivery permitted by the Purchase Agreement to such party at its address as
provided in the Purchase Agreement (provided that nothing herein shall affect
the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by Law).
