its terms.

    


    NOW THEREFORE, for good and

acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as
follows:

    


    Section 1.  Confirmation of the
Indenture; Definitions.  Except as supplemented hereby, the

    Indenture
to the extent of any conflict between the two.  Unless otherwise

    (b)           None

which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

    


    Section 5.  Severability.  In
case any provision in this Supplemental Indenture shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not in any way be effected or impaired thereby.

    


    Section 6.  Governing
Law.  This Supplemental Indenture shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
