limit or modify in any way the representation contained in the last sentence of
Section 4.5(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in
this Amendment, no past or future forbearance on the part of any of the
Purchasers should be viewed as a limitation upon or waiver of the absolute right
and privilege of the Purchasers in exercising rights and remedies that currently
exist or may exist after the Second Amendment Effective Date.

         8. Outstanding Indebtedness; Waiver of Claims. Each Credit Party hereby
acknowledges and agrees that as of the Second Amendment Effective Date the

no claims against Purchasers and their respective employees, agents,
representatives, consultants, attorneys, fiduciaries, servants, officers,
directors, partners, predecessors, subsidiary corporations, parent corporations

remises and forever discharges Purchasers and each other Indemnified Person from
any and all claims of any and every character, known or unknown, direct and/or
indirect, at law or in equity, of whatsoever kind or nature, because of any
matter or things done, omitted or suffered to be done by any Indemnified Person
prior to and including the Second Amendment Effective Date, which in any way
directly or indirectly arise out of or in any way are connected to the Note
Purchase Agreement, this Amendment or any other Note Document.
