execute the New Senior Lender Documents, then the Holder grants an irrevocable
power of attorney to each of the executive officers of the Company to execute
the New Senior Lender Documents in the name, place and stead of the
Holder.

is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such
as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse

    4.           Public Information Failure
Payments.  Section 4 of the November Waiver, Consent Amendment
and Exchange Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety, inasmuch as the issues
addressed therein are now addressed by Section 4.3(a) of the July Purchase
Agreement as set forth in Section 2 above, the terms of which supersede the

warranties of the Company contained herein (except for those representations and
warranties that are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which

    (c)           The
Company has elected to provide all Holders with the same terms and form of
agreement for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or
requested to do so by the Holders.  The obligations of each Holder
under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other
Holder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance or
non-performance of the obligations of any other Holder under this Agreement or
any transaction document applicable to the March Purchase Agreement, July
Purchase Agreement, VPP Purchase Agreement or November Purchase Agreement
(hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Transaction
Documents”).  Except to the extent contemplated by the Security
Agreement applicable to the Holder(s) in question, nothing contained herein or
in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant thereto,
shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a
joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the
Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such
obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the
Transaction Documents.  Each Holder shall be entitled to independently
protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising
out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall
not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any
proceeding for such purpose.  Each Holder has been represented by its
own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of this Agreement and
the Transaction Documents.

     

    (d)           Except
as set forth in the Transaction Documents (as defined in the July Purchase
Agreement) each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel,
accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such
party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement.  The Company shall pay all stamp and
other taxes and duties levied in connection with the issuance of the July
Debentures.

     

    (e)           If
any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to
be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision
that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed
amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable,
and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the
validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement
as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original
intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited
nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not
substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of
the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be
conferred upon the parties.  The parties will endeavor in good faith
negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s)
with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to
that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

              The
      Indebtedness shall rank in the following order of priority:  any
      sums secured or owed to the Existing Creditors or the July Creditors,
      first to the July Creditors (as it relates to the July Indebtedness),

      this Agreement, the July Creditors shall be immediately notified and such
      payment shall be immediately paid by the Existing Creditors to the July
      Creditors pro-rata in
      proportion to each July Creditor’s outstanding principal amount of July
      Indebtedness at any given time that a determination needs to be made of
      pro-rata holdings.

              1.4

            	
              Notwithstanding
      any other provision in this Agreement, adjustments shall be made between
      the Creditors from time to time to reflect the fact that any contingent
      obligation taken into account as an obligation under the Indebtedness
      becomes satisfied or incapable of maturing into an actual
      obligation.

      Indebtedness and irrespective of: (i) the time, order or method of
      attachment or perfection of the security interests created in favor of
      Existing Creditors and the July Creditors, (ii) the time or order of
      filing or recording of financing statements or other documents filed or
      recorded to perfect security interests in any collateral; (iii) anything
      contained in any filing or agreement to which any Creditor now or
      hereafter may be a party; and (iv) the rules for determining perfection or
      priority under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other law governing the
      relative priorities of secured creditors, each Existing Creditor
      acknowledges that all July Creditors (x) have a valid security interest in
      the Collateral and (y) the security interests of the July Creditors in any
      Collateral pursuant to any outstanding July Indebtedness shall have
      priority over, and rank senior to, the security interests of the Existing
      Creditors in such Collateral.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              1.6

            	
              Each
      Existing Creditor agrees not to commence any action or proceeding
      concerning the Indebtedness or the Collateral without providing at least
      three business day’s notice to all July
  Creditors.

              Further
      Assurances.  Each party to this Agreement agrees to
      execute further instruments as may be necessary or desirable to carry out
      this Agreement, provided the party requesting such further action shall
      bear all related costs and
expenses.

              Professional Fees and
      Costs.  If any legal or equitable action, arbitration, or
      other proceeding, whether on the merits or on motion, are brought or
      undertaken, or an attorney retained, to enforce this Agreement, or because
      of an alleged dispute, breach, default, or misrepresentation in connection
      with any of the provisions of this Agreement, then the successful or
      prevailing party or parties in such undertaking (or the party that would
      prevail if an action were brought) shall be entitled to recover reasonable
      attorney's fees and other professional fees and other costs incurred in
      such action, proceeding, or discussions, in addition to any other relief
      to which such party may be entitled.  The parties intend this
      provision to be given the most liberal construction possible and to apply
      to any circumstances in which such party reasonably incurs
      expenses.
