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

any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any
jurisdictions other than the State of New York.  The parties hereby
agree that all actions or proceedings arising directly or indirectly from or in
connection with this Agreement shall be litigated only in the Supreme Court of
the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York located in New York County, New York.  The
parties consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the foregoing courts and

courts or a judge thereof may be served inside or outside the State of New York

signature ages to this Agreement (and service so made shall be deemed complete

courts.  Each of the Company and each Stockholder irrevocably waives,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or
hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action, or
proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that suit, action, or
proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  The Company and
each Stockholder hereby appoints Burns & Levinson LLP, with offices at 125
