such Note or (ii) reduce the Outstanding Amount, the Holders of which are required to consent to
any matter without the consent of the Holders of at least a Majority Interest of the Notes which
were required to consent to such matter before giving effect to such amendment.

     (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any term or provision of this Agreement

provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid or
unenforceable, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from

amended or supplemented, and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement.



     3.04 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each
of which so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which counterparts
