good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable

or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Agent and Required
Lenders.

CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS OF THE PARTIES
HERETO OR THERETO.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY
OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR THERETO.

Section 4.11                          Costs and Expenses.  Borrowers agree to
