unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of
any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, or the breach, termination or validity of this Agreement, or the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Each party certifies and
acknowledges that (i) no representative, agent or attorney of any other party
                   -
has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the
event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, (ii) it understands

enforcement of the amendment, modification, supplement, discharge or waiver is
sought (and in the case of Holding and the Company, approved by resolution of
the Board of Directors of Holding or the Company, as the case may be).  Any such
waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter
described in such writing and shall in no way impair the rights of the party
granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time.  Neither the
waiver by any party hereto of a breach of or a default under any of the
provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure by any party, on one or more
occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any
right or privilege hereunder, shall be construed as a waiver of any other breach
or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights
or privileges hereunder.
