received an executed counterpart of this Amendment from each of the parties

reference in the Note Purchase Agreement to "this Agreement", "hereunder",
"hereof", "herein" or words of like import referring to the Note Purchase
Agreement and each reference to the Note Purchase Agreement in any certificate

confirmed and shall continue to be in full force and effect and enforceable,
except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors' rights
generally and general equitable principles.

      SECTION 5. Costs and Expenses. The Issuer agrees to pay on demand all
reasonable costs and expenses of the Note Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution and delivery of this Amendment and the other instruments
and documents to be delivered in connection herewith, including, without

Note Agent with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Note Agent as
to its respective rights and responsibilities hereunder and thereunder.

      SECTION 6. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in
any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be
an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the
same agreement.

      SECTION 7. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be construed in accordance
with, and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect
to its conflicts of law provisions.
