or to such other address or facsimile numbers as the addressee may have
specified in a notice duly given to the sender as provided in this Agreement.
Such notice, request, demand, waiver, consent, approval or other communication
will be deemed to have been given as of the date so delivered or, if such date
is not a Business Day, on the next Business Day.
12.	Counterparts.  This Agreement and any amendments to this
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be
deemed to be an original by the parties executing such counterpart, but all of
which will be considered one and the same instrument.
13.	Amendment; Waiver.  Any provision of this Agreement may be
amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and
signed, in the case of an amendment, by each of the parties, or in the case of
a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective, subject in
each case to approval of the Bankruptcy Court where required.  No failure or
delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this
Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege nor will
any single or partial exercise of such right, power or privilege preclude any
other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of
any other right, power or privilege.
14.	Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement will be
deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will
not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this
Agreement unless such invalidity or unenforceability, after taking into account
the mitigation contemplated by the next sentence, deprives a party of a
material benefit contemplated by this Agreement.  If any provision of this
Agreement, or the application of such provision to any Person or any
circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable
provision will be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be
valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable
provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such
provision to other persons, entities or circumstances will not be affected by
such invalidity or unenforceability, nor will such invalidity or
unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or
the application of such provision, in any other jurisdiction.

15.	Specific Performance.  The parties hereto recognize that any
breach of the terms of this Agreement may give rise to irreparable harm for
which money damages would not be an adequate remedy, and accordingly agree,
that, in addition to other remedies, the nonbreaching party will be entitled to
enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without
the necessity of proving the inadequacy of a remedy of money damages and
without the posting of any bond or other security.
16.	Interpretation of Agreement.  The section headings contained
in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and do not in any way affect
the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.  The words "includes" and
"including" are not words of limitation and should be read to also add "without
limitation."  References to the singular include the plural and vice versa, and
reference to one gender include all genders, unless the context otherwise
requires.
