Documents (as defined in the Amendment Agreements) (in such capacity, the "Collateral Agent"), and (b)
authorizes the Collateral Agent (and its officers, directors, employees and
agents) to take such action on such Buyer's behalf in accordance with the terms
hereof and thereof.  The Collateral Agent shall not

at least two-thirds in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and such
instructions shall be binding upon all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the
Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action which, in the
reasonable opinion of the Agent, exposes the Agent to liability or which is
contrary to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or applicable
law.  The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written
notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone
message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters
pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and its

holder of Notes.  Such resignation shall take effect upon the
acceptance by a successor Collateral Agent of appointment pursuant to clauses
(ii) and (iii) below or as otherwise provided below.

     

    (ii)           Upon
any such notice of resignation, the holders of at least two-thirds in principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding shall appoint a successor collateral
agent.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as collateral agent
hereunder by a successor agent, such successor collateral agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the collateral agent, and the Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents.  After the Collateral Agent's resignation hereunder as the
collateral agent, the provisions of this Section 4(w) shall inure to its benefit
as to

     


    
      
         


      

      
         


        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent
under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

     

    (iii)           If
a successor collateral agent shall not have been so appointed within said thirty
(30) Business Day period, the Collateral Agent shall then appoint a successor
collateral agent who shall serve as the collateral agent until such time, if

outstanding appoint a successor collateral agent as provided

    (a)           Counterparts.  This
Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which
shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when
counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party;
provided that a facsimile signature shall be considered due execution and shall

headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form
part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

     

    (c)           Severability.  If
any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to
be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision
that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed
amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable,
and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the
validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement
as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original
intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited
nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not
substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of
the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be
conferred upon the parties.  The parties will endeavor in good faith
negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s)
with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to
that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or
any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any
jurisdictions other than the State of New York.  Each party hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that
such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the
venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.  Each party
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process
being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to
such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees
that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and
notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in
any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.  If
any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of

REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN
CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Person.

Assurances.  Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be
done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and
deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as
the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby.

     

    (g)           No Strict
Construction.  The language used in this Agreement will be
deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent,
and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any
party.

Document is not amended by this Agreement), this Agreement supersedes all other
prior oral or written agreements between the Investor, the Company, their
affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters
discussed herein, and this Agreement and the instruments referenced herein
contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters
covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or
therein, neither the Company nor the Investor makes any representation,
warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters.  No
provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in
writing signed by the Company and the Investor and to the extent that Other
Investors may be affected thereby, by the holders of a majority of the principal
amount of the 2008 Amendment Notes.  No provision hereof may be waived
other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom
enforcement is sought.  No consideration shall be offered or paid to
any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of
any of the Existing Transaction Documents, the Amendments, the Security
Documents, or any of the 2008 Amendment Securities unless the same consideration
also is offered to all of the holders of 2008 Amendment Notes.  The
Company has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with any of the
Investors relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated
by the Existing Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Existing
Transaction Documents.

    (k)           Survival.  Unless
this Agreement is terminated under Section 8, the representations and warranties
of the Company and the Investor contained herein and the agreements and
covenants set forth herein shall survive the Closing.

     

    (l)           Remedies.  The
Investor, each holder of the 2008 Amendment Securities shall have all rights and
remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies
which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or
contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any
law.  Any Person having any rights under any provision of this
Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting
a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any
provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by
law.  Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it
fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under this
Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the
Investor.  The Company therefore agrees that the Investor shall be
entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case
without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or
other security.

     

    (m)           Independent Nature of
Investor's Obligations and Rights.  The obligations of the
Investor under any Existing Transaction Document, several and not joint with the
obligations of any Other Investor, and the Investor shall not be responsible in
any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Investor under any
Existing Transaction Documents.  Nothing contained herein or in any
other Existing Transaction Documents, and no action taken by the Investor
pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investor and Other Investors
as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity,
or create a presumption that the Investor and Other Investors are in any way
acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the
transactions contemplated by the Existing Transaction Documents.  The
Company and the Investor confirm that the Investor has independently
participated in the negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby with the
advice of its own counsel and advisors.  The Investor shall be
entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without
limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other
Existing Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any Other
Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose.

     

    (n)           Most Favored
Nation.  The Company hereby represents and warrants as of the
date hereof and covenants and agrees from and after the date hereof that none of
the terms offered to any Person with respect to any amendment, settlement or
waiver (each a "Settlement
Document") relating to the terms, conditions and transactions
contemplated hereby, is or will be more favorable to such Person than those of
the Investor and this Agreement shall be, without any further action by the
Investor or the Company, deemed amended and modified in an economically and
legally equivalent manner such that the Investor shall receive the benefit of
the more favorable terms contained in such Settlement
Document.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agrees, at its
expense, to take such other actions (such as entering into amendments to the
Transaction Documents) as the Investor may reasonably request to further
effectuate the foregoing.
