                               SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

         THIS SEVERANCE AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and entered into by and
between SHERRY NOREEN ("Noreen") and SMITH & WESSON HOLDING CORP., ("S&W") as of
this 5th day of December, 2003.

                                    RECITALS:

         A.       Noreen was employed by S&W as its Secretary and was also a
                  member of the Board of Directors of S&W through December 5,
                  2003.

         B.       On December 1 2003, the Audit Committee of the Board of
                  Directors of S&W learned that she would resign as Secretary
                  and from the Board of Directors effective as of December 5,
                  2003.

         C.       S&W has agreed to provide severance payments to Noreen through
                  the end of the 2004 calendar year.

         D.       The parties desire to document the terms of the severance
                  agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties, the parties agree
as follows:

                                   AGREEMENT:

1.       RESIGNATION BY NOREEN. Noreen's last day of employment with S&W shall
         be December 5, 2003 (the "Resignation Date").

2.       CONSIDERATION BY S&W. In consideration of Noreen's performance of his
         obligations under this Agreement and in satisfaction of all claims and
         benefits under any employee benefit plans maintained by S&W, S&W shall
         provide Noreen with the following consideration.

         2.1.     Severance Payments. S&W shall pay Noreen $36,000, payable in
                  semi-monthly installments either by check or direct deposit,
                  beginning on the next regularly scheduled pay period and
                  continuing through December 31, 2004 (the "Severance Period").

         2.2.     Stock Options. As provided in S&W's 2001 Stock Option Plan,
                  dated May 31, 2001 (the "Option Plan"), Noreen may, within
                  three (3) months following the Resignation Date, purchase any
                  of the shares to which she was entitled to exercise her option
                  as of the Resignation Date.

         2.3.     Withholding. All payments and benefits under this Section are
                  subject to applicable federal withholding tax and any other
                  taxes as required by law. Noreen understands that she will
                  receive no other wage, benefit, or other payment from S&W
                  other than the consideration described in this Section.
<PAGE>
3.       VOTING OF SHARES.

         At all votes of shareholders of S&W on or before December 31, 2005,
Noreen shall not directly or indirectly cause or permit any shares beneficially
owned by Noreen to be voted for any person other than the nominees recommended
by the Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors of S&W and nominated by
the Board of Directors in S&W's proxy statements. The foregoing voting
obligations shall not apply if either Mitchell Saltz or Colton Melby are not
recommended by the Nominating Committee to be nominated to stand for election to
the Board of Directors by the shareholders.

4.       NON-DISPARAGEMENT.

         Neither (i) the officers or directors of S&W and its affiliates nor
(ii) Noreen and her affiliates (including Noreen's trust beneficiaries,
representatives, agents, attorneys, dependents, administrators, executors,
heirs, assigns, predecessors and successors-in-interest) shall provide oral or
written information or disparage or in any manner cause harmful remarks or
comments to be disseminated to any third parties regarding the business,
aptitude, skills, practices, procedures, operations, methods, or any other
subject which may have a detrimental impact on the future business prospects or
extant business relationships of the other, except as required by law if called
as a witness in any court proceedings.

         4.1.     Injunctive Relief. Noreen and S&W each acknowledge that the
                  restrictions contained in this Section 3 are a reasonable and
                  necessary protection of the immediate interests of each of
                  them and that any violation of these restrictions would cause
                  substantial injury to the other. In the event of a breach or
                  threatened breach by Noreen or S&W of these restrictions, S&W
                  or Noreen, as applicable, shall be entitled to apply to any
                  court of competent jurisdiction for an injunction restraining
                  the breaching party from such breach or threatened breach;
                  provided, however, that the right to apply for an injunction
                  shall not be construed as prohibiting S&W or Noreen from
                  pursuing any other available remedies for such breach or
                  threatened breach.

5.       SUCCESSORS.

         This Agreement shall be binding upon Noreen and upon her heirs,
administrators, representatives, executors, successors and assigns. This
Agreement shall be binding upon S&W and upon its heirs, administrators,
representatives, executors, successors and assigns.

6.       ASSIGNMENT OF PAYMENTS.

         Any right or interest to or in any payments shall be fully assignable
by Noreen including but not limited to one or more beneficiaries to receive any
amount that may be payable after her death (and shall remain enforceable by
Noreen's estate).

7.       GOVERNING LAW.

         This Agreement is made and entered into in the State of Arizona and
shall in all respects be interpreted, enforced and governed under the laws of
that state.

8.       VENUE.

         Noreen and S&W hereby irrevocably agree that any legal action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any actions
contemplated hereby shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction
located in the state of Arizona. Noreen and S&W hereby expressly submit to the
personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for the purposes thereof and
expressly waive any claim of improper

                                       2
<PAGE>
venue and any claim that such courts are an improper forum. Noreen and S&W
hereby irrevocably consent to the service of process of any of the
aforementioned courts in any suit, action or proceeding.

9.       SEVERABILITY.

         Should any of the provisions of this Agreement be declared or be
determined by any court to be illegal or invalid, the validity of the remaining
parts, terms or provisions shall not be affected thereby and said illegal or
invalid part, term or provision shall be deemed not to be a part of this
Agreement.

10.      SUCCESSORS TO S&W.

         Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of S&W and any successor of S&W, including,
without limitation, any corporation or corporations acquiring directly or
indirectly all or substantially all of the assets of S&W whether by merger,
consolidation, sale or otherwise (and such successor shall thereafter be deemed
"S&W" for the purposes of this Agreement), but shall not otherwise be assignable
by S&W.

11.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

         This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the parties
thereto and fully supersedes any and all prior agreements, other than the
Indemnification Agreement dated September, 2002, the Option Plan and any

            (b) The vested portions of this Warrant may be exercised by the
Holder, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time on or after the
date first above written and prior to the Expiration Date, by surrendering to

      over the portion of the Purchase Price attributable to such shares shall
      equal the Purchase Price attributable to the shares of Common Stock to be
      issued upon such exercise, in which case upon delivery of such notice such
      amount shall be deemed to have been paid to the Company and the number of
      shares issuable upon such exercise shall be reduced by such specified
      number, or

            (iii) by surrender to the Company for cancellation, certificates

      Securities Act, at a Holder's request to electronically issue such shares
      (e.g., through DWAC or DTC), for the number of shares of Common Stock (or
      Other Securities) to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise
      plus, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share to which the Holder
      would otherwise be entitled, if any, a certified check for the amount of
      cash equal to the same fraction multiplied by the Current Market Price per
      share on the date of Warrant exercise, provided, however, that in the
      event sufficient funds are not legally available for the payment of such
      amount, the number of shares of Common Stock for which such certificate(s)
      represents shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number, and

            (ii) in case such exercise is for less than all of the shares of
      Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant, a new Warrant or Warrants of
      like tenor, for the balance of the shares of Common Stock purchasable
      hereunder.

            (b) Issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for
any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense, in respect of the
issuance of such certificates, all of which such taxes and expenses shall be
paid by the Company.

            2.4. Exercise Disputes. In the case of any dispute with respect to
the number of shares to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company
shall promptly issue such number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed
and shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the
Holder via facsimile within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the Holder's
Election to Purchase Shares and Transfer Agent Instructions. If the Holder and
the Company are unable to agree as to the determination of the Purchase Price
within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic
calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall in accordance
with this Section, submit via facsimile the disputed determination to an
independent reputable accounting firm of national standing, selected jointly by
the Company and the Holder. The Company shall cause such accounting firm to
perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder
of the results within forty-eight (48) hours from the time it receives the
disputed determinations of calculations. Such accounting firm's determination
shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error. The Company shall then
on the next Business Day issue certificate(s) representing the appropriate
number of shares of Common Stock in accordance with such accounting firm's
determination and this Section. All fees and expenses of such determination and
calculation shall be borne by the Company.

Stock any other shares of Common Stock; then the number of Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of the Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted so that the
Holder may receive on any subsequent exercise of the Warrant the aggregate
number and kind of equity interests in the Company which it would have owned
immediately following such action if such Warrant had been exercised immediately
prior to such action. Any adjustment under this Section 3.1 shall become
effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination or
reclassification becomes effective and on the record date in the case of a
dividend or distribution.

            3.2. Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case the Company after the date
hereof (a) shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not
be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or
(b) shall permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Company
and the Company shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection
with such consolidation or merger, the Common Stock or Other Securities shall be
changed into or exchanged for stock or other securities of any other Person or
cash or any other property, or (c) shall transfer all or substantially all of
its properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) shall effect a capital
reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock or Other Securities,
then, and in the case of each such transaction, proper provision shall be made
so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this
Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof at any time after
the consummation of such transaction shall be entitled to receive (at the
aggregate Purchase Price in effect at the time of such consummation for all
Common Stock or Other Securities issuable upon such exercise immediately prior
to such consummation), in lieu of the Common Stock or Other Securities issuable
upon such exercise prior to such consummation, the amount of securities, cash or
other property to which such Holder would actually have been entitled as a
stockholder upon such consummation if such Holder had exercised this Warrant
immediately prior thereto, subject to adjustments (subsequent to such
consummation) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for
in Sections 3 and 4.

            3.3 Issuances for no Consideration. If the Company distributes (and
receives no consideration therefor) any rights, options or warrants (whether or
not immediately exercisable) to holders of any of its outstanding capital stock
entitling them to purchase Common Stock at a price per share less than Fair
Market Price on the record date relating to such distribution, other than
pursuant to Section 3.1, the number of shares

                                       7
<PAGE>
of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted in
accordance with the formula:

                                           O+N
                                 W(1)=W x -----
                                            NxP
                                          O+---
                                             C

where:

            W(1) =   the adjusted number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
                     the exercise of each Warrant.

            W    =   the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
                     exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to the record
                     date for any such distribution.

            O    =   the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the
                     record date for any such distribution.

            N    =   the number of additional shares of Common Stock issuable
                     upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants.

            P    =   the exercise price per share of such rights, options or
                     warrants.

            C    =   Fair Market Price in effect on the record date for any such
                     distribution.

            The adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights,
options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately upon the
issuance of such rights, options or warrants.

                  3.4 Common Stock Issuances. If the Company issues Additional
Shares of Common Stock for a per share less than Fair Market Price on the date
the Company fixes the offering price of such Common Stock, the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted in
accordance with the formula:

                                            A
                                 W(1)=W x -----

                                          O+---
                                             C

                                       8
<PAGE>
where:

            W(1) =   the adjusted number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
                     the exercise of each Warrant.

            W    =   the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
                     exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to any such
                     issuance.

            O    =   the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
                     immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional
                     Shares.

            P    =   the aggregate consideration received for the issuance of
                     such Additional Shares.

            C    =   Fair Market Price in effect on the date of issuance of such
                     Additional Shares.

            A    =   the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
                     immediately after the issuance of such Additional Shares.

Provided that for the purpose of this Section 3.4, all shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise or conversion of outstanding Convertible Securities shall
be deemed to be outstanding. The adjustment shall be made successively whenever
any such issuance is made, and shall become effective immediately after such
issuance.

            3.5 Convertible Stock Issuances. If the Company issues any
Convertible Securities (other than securities issued in transactions described
in Section 3.1 or Section 3.3) for a consideration per share (as calculated in
accordance with Section 3.6 below) less than Fair Market Price in effect on the
date of issuance of such securities, the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted in accordance with
the formula:

                                           O+D
                                 W(1)=W x -----
                                             P
                                          O+---
                                             C

where:

            W(1) =   the adjusted number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
                     the exercise of each Warrant.

            W    =   the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
                     exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to any such
                     issuance.

                                       9
<PAGE>
            O    =   the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
                     immediately prior to the issuance of such Convertible
                     Securities.

            D    =   the maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable
                     upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible
                     Securities at the initial conversion, exchange or exercise
                     rate.

            P    =   the sum of the aggregate consideration received for the
                     issuance of such Convertible Securities and the aggregate
                     minimum consideration receivable by the Company for
                     issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion,
                     exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.

            C    =   Fair Market Price in effect on the date of issuance of such
                     Convertible Securities.

Provided that for the purpose of this Section 3.5, all shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise or conversion of outstanding Convertible Securities shall
be deemed to be outstanding. The adjustment shall be made successively whenever
any such issuance is made, and shall become effective immediately after such
issuance. If the aggregate minimum consideration receivable by the Company for
issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such
Convertible Securities shall be increased by virtue of provisions therein
contained or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a
specified event, then the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of each Warrant shall promptly be readjusted to the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant which would then be in
effect had the adjustment upon the issuance of such securities been made on the
basis of such increased minimum consideration. No further adjustment shall be
made upon the subsequent issue or sale of Convertible Securities or shares of
Common Stock upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities.

                                       10
<PAGE>
            3.6 For purposes of any computation respecting consideration
received pursuant to Section 3.4 and Section 3.5, the following shall apply:

            (i) in the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash, the
consideration shall be the amount of such cash, without any deduction being made
for any commissions, discounts or other expenses incurred by the Company for any
underwriting of the issue or otherwise in connection therewith;

            (ii) in the case of the issuance of Common Stock for a consideration
in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be
deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the
board of directors of the Company; and

            (iii) in the case of the issuance of Convertible Securities, the
aggregate consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the
consideration received by the Company for the issuance of such Convertible
Securities plus the additional minimum consideration, if any, to be received by
the Company upon the conversion, exchange or exercise thereof (the consideration
in each case to be determined in the same manner as provided in clauses (i) and
(ii) of this Section 3.6).

            3.7 In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made
pursuant to this Section 3, the Holder shall become entitled to purchase Other
Securities other than, or in addition to, shares of Common Stock, thereafter the
number or amount of such other securities so purchasable upon exercise of each
Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on
terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the
shares of Common Stock contained in Sections 3.1 through 3.5 and the provisions
of the Warrants with respect to the shares of Common Stock shall apply on like
terms to any such other securities.

            3.8 Upon each adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant pursuant to the provisions of Section
3, the Purchase Price per share shall be adjusted to the nearest penny by
multiplying a number equal to the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to
such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the
product so obtained by adjusted number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of each Warrant.

            3.9. In the event that the Company shall distribute Rights, all
unvested Warrants shall immediately vest and the Company shall give notice to
the Holder ten (10) days prior to the date that the Warrants would need to be
exercised to receive such Rights.

            4. NO DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT. The Company shall not, by amendment of
its certificate of incorporation or through any consolidation, merger,
reorganization, transfer of assets, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or
any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance
of any of the

                                       11
<PAGE>
terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this
Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Company (a) shall not permit the par value of any shares of stock receivable
upon the exercise of this Warrant to exceed the amount payable therefor upon
such exercise, (b) shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate
in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of stock, free from all taxes, liens, security interests,
encumbrances, preemptive rights and charges on the exercise of the Warrants from
time to time outstanding, (c) shall not take any action which results in any
adjustment of the Purchase Price if the total number of shares of Common Stock
(or Other Securities) issuable after the action upon the exercise of all of the
Warrants would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) then authorized by the Company's certificate of incorporation and
available for the purpose of issue upon such exercise.

            5. NOTICES OF CORPORATE ACTION. In the event of:

            (a) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification
or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation or
merger involving the Company and any other Person, any transaction or series of
transactions in which more than 50% of the voting securities of the Company are
transferred to another Person, or any transfer, sale or other disposition of all
or substantially all the assets of the Company to any other Person, or

            (b) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Company,

the Company shall mail to each holder of a Warrant a notice specifying the date
or expected date on which any such reorganization, reclassification,
recapitalization, consolidation, merger, transfer, sale, disposition,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place and the time, if any
such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or
Other Securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or
Other Securities) for the securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger,
transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at
least 20 days prior to the date therein specified but in no event earlier than
the public announcement of such proposed transaction or event.

            6. RESERVATION OF STOCK, ETC. The Company shall at all times reserve
and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon exercise of the
Warrants, the number of shares of Common Stock from time to time issuable upon
exercise of all Warrants at the time outstanding and otherwise in accordance
with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Management Agreement. All
shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable upon exercise of any
Warrants shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon such exercise, shall be
validly issued and, in the case of shares, fully paid and nonassessable with no
liability on the part of the holders thereof,

                                       12
<PAGE>
and, in the case of all securities, shall be free from all taxes, liens,
security interests, encumbrances, preemptive rights and charges. The transfer
agent for the Common Stock, which may be the Company (the "Transfer Agent"), and
every subsequent Transfer Agent for any shares of the Company's capital stock
issuable upon the exercise of any of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant, are hereby irrevocably authorized and directed at all times until the
Expiration Date to reserve such number of authorized and unissued shares as
shall be requisite for such purpose. The Company shall keep copies of this
Warrant on file with the Transfer Agent for the Common Stock and with every
subsequent Transfer Agent for any shares of the Company's capital stock issuable
upon the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by this Warrant. The
Company shall supply such Transfer Agent with duly executed stock certificates
for such purpose. All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon the exercise of the
rights thereby evidenced shall be canceled, and such canceled Warrants shall
constitute sufficient evidence of the number of shares of stock which have been
issued upon the exercise of such Warrants. Subsequent to the Expiration Date, no
shares of stock need be reserved in respect of any unexercised Warrant.

            7. REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER OF WARRANTS, ETC.

            7.1. Warrant Register; Ownership of Warrants. Each Warrant issued by
the Company shall be numbered and shall be registered in a warrant register (the
"Warrant Register") as it is issued and transferred, which Warrant Register
shall be maintained by the Company at its principal office or, at the Company's
election and expense, by a Warrant Agent or the Company's transfer agent. The
Company shall be entitled to treat the registered Holder of any Warrant on the
Warrant Register as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be
bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Warrant
on the part of any other Person, and shall not be affected by any notice to the
contrary, except that, if and when any Warrant is properly assigned in blank,
the Company may (but shall not be obligated to) treat the bearer thereof as the
owner of such Warrant for all purposes. A Warrant, if properly assigned, may be
exercised by a new holder without a new Warrant first having been issued.

            7.2. Transfer of Warrants. This Warrant and all rights hereunder are
transferable in whole or in part, without charge to the Holder hereof, upon
surrender of this Warrant with a properly executed Form of Assignment attached
hereto as Exhibit B at the principal office of the Company (or such other office
or agency of the Company as it may in writing designate to the Holder). Upon any
partial transfer, the Company shall at its expense issue and deliver to the
Holder a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Holder, which shall be
exercisable for such number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which
rights under this Warrant were not so transferred and to the transferee a new
Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the transferee, which shall be exercisable
for such number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which rights under
this Warrant were so transferred.

            7.3. Replacement of Warrants. On receipt by the Company of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of this

                                       13
<PAGE>
Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant,
on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount
to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender of such
Warrant to the Company at its principal office and cancellation thereof, the
Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant
of like tenor.

            7.4. Adjustments To Purchase Price and Number of Shares.
Notwithstanding any adjustment in the Purchase Price or in the number or kind of
shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to
Section 3 or Section 4 hereof, any Warrant theretofore or thereafter issued may
continue to express the same number and kind of shares of Common Stock as are
stated in this Warrant, as initially issued.

            7.5. Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any adjustment pursuant to
Section 3 in the number of shares of Common Stock covered by this Warrant or any
other provision of this Warrant, the Company shall not be required to issue
fractions of shares upon exercise of this Warrant or to distribute certificates
which evidence fractional shares. In lieu of fractional shares, the Company
shall make payment to the Holder, at the time of exercise of this Warrant as
herein provided, in an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the
Current Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the date of Warrant exercise.

            8. NO RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES AS SHAREHOLDER. Nothing contained in
this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder hereof any rights
as a stockholder of the Company or as imposing any obligation on the Holder to
purchase any securities or as imposing any liabilities on the Holder as a
stockholder of the Company, whether such obligation or liabilities are asserted
by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

            9. NOTICES. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications
required or permitted to be given hereunder must be in writing and will be
deemed to have been delivered (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii)
upon receipt, when sent by facsimile, (iii) with written confirmation of
