     No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section
8.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be
qualified under the provision of Section 8.08 and eligible under the
provisions of Section 8.09.

     Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this
Section 8.11, the Company shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee
hereunder to all holders of Securities of any series for which such successor
trustee is acting as trustee as the names and addresses of such holders appear
on the registry books. If the Company fails to mail such notice in the
prescribed manner within 10 days after the acceptance of appointment by the
successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed
at the expense of the Company.

     SECTION 8.12. Succession by Merger, etc. Any corporation into which the
Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or
any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to
which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or
substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

     In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the
trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities of any series shall
have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee
may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and
deliver such Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the
Securities of any series shall not have been authenticated, any successor to
the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any
predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such
cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the
Securities of such series or in this Indenture provided that the certificates
of the Trustee shall have, provided, however, that the right to adopt the
certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or authenticate
Securities of any series in the name of any predecessor trustee shall apply
only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

     SECTION 8.13. Limitations on Rights of Trustee as a Creditor. (a) Subject
to the provisions of Section 8.13(b), if the Trustee shall be or shall become
a creditor, directly or indirectly, secured or unsecured, of the Company or of
any other obligor on the Securities within four months prior to a default, as
defined in Section 8.13(c), or subsequent to such a default, then, unless and
until such default shall be cured, the Trustee shall set apart and hold in a
special account for the benefit of the Trustee individually, the holders of
the Securities and the holders of other indenture securities [as defined in
paragraph (2) of Section 8.13(c)]:

Company of California ("Harris California"), and Harris Trust Company of New
York ("Harris New York") (collectively, the "Harris Entities") have
transferred substantially all of their corporate trust business to The Bank of

("CTC") pursuant to a Transfer and Assumption Agreement dated January 31, 2000
(the "Transfer Agreement") by and among CTC and The Bank of New York Company,
Inc. ("Buyer Parent") and the Harris Entities and Harris Bankcorp, Inc.

     WHEREAS, in order to facilitate the transfer of the corporate trust

     NOW, THEREFORE, Harris Illinois, Harris California and Harris New York,
each hereby appoint each of the persons whose name, title and signature
appears on Exhibit A attached hereto (each such person being referred to as an
"Authorized Signer") as its lawful attorney-in-fact for the purpose of
executing in the name of Harris Illinois, Harris California and Harris New
York, as the case may be, all certificates, instruments, and other documents
related to or necessary for the discharge of Harris Illinois', Harris
California's, and Harris New York's, as the case may be, duties of trustee or
agent by BNY, CTC or BNY Western under any indentures and other financing

Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Harris Entities as if BNY
Western and CTC each were a "Buyer" under Section 8.2(d) of the Transfer
Agreement and (ii) BNY Western and CTC agree to severally, but not jointly,
indemnify and hold harmless the Harris Entities as if BNY Western and CTC each

shall remain in effect until May 8, 2002.

          "underwriter" means any underwriter of Shares in connection with an

          2. Shelf Registration; Suspension of Use of Prospectus.

          (a) The Company shall prepare and, not later than 45 days following
the Closing Date, shall file with the Commission and as soon as possible
thereafter, shall use its best efforts to cause to be declared effective under
the Act but no later than 90 days following the Closing Date, a Shelf
Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the Shares by the
Holders from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution
elected by such Holders and set forth in such Shelf Registration Statement.

          (b) The Company shall use its best efforts to keep the Shelf
Registration Statement continuously effective in order to permit the
Prospectus forming part thereof to be usable by the Holders until the second
anniversary of the Closing Date or such earlier date as of which the Shares
shall no longer constitute restricted securities under Rule 144(k) of the Act
or all the Shares covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold
pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (in any such case, such period
being called the "Shelf Registration Period"). The Company shall be deemed not
to have used its best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement
effective during the requisite period if it voluntarily takes any action that
would result in Holders of Shares covered thereby not being able to offer and
sell such securities during that period, unless such action is (i) required by
applicable law or (ii) pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof, and, in either case,
so long as the Company promptly thereafter complies with the requirements of
Section 3(i) hereof, if applicable.

          (c) The Company may suspend the use of the Prospectus for a period
not to exceed 45 days in any three month period for valid business reasons
(not including avoidance of the Company's obligations hereunder), including
the acquisition or divestiture of assets, public filings with the Commission,
pending corporate developments and similar events.

          3. Registration Procedures. In connection with any Shelf
Registration Statement, the following provisions shall apply to:

          (a) The Company shall furnish to you and the Holders, prior to the
     filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of any Shelf Registration
     Statement, and each amendment thereof and each amendment or supplement,
     if any, to the Prospectus included therein and shall use its best efforts
     to reflect in each such document, when so filed with the Commission, such
     comments insofar as such comments relate to the Holders and the methods
     of distribution that the Holders reasonably may propose.

          (b) The Company shall ensure that (i) any Shelf Registration
     Statement and any amendment thereto and any Prospectus forming part
     thereof and any amendment or supplement to such Prospectus complies in
     all material respects with the Act and the rules and regulations
     thereunder, (ii) any Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment
     thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement
     of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
     therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and
     (iii) any Prospectus forming part of any Shelf Registration Statement,
     and any amendment or supplement to such Prospectus, does not include an
     untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
     necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
     circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

          (c) (1) The Company shall advise the Holders and, if requested by
     any such Holder, to confirm such advice in writing:

               (i) when a Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment
          thereto has been filed with the Commission and when the Shelf
          Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has
          become effective; and

               (ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or
          supplements to the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus
          included therein or for additional information.

<PAGE>

                                                                             5

          (2) The Company shall advise the Holders and, if requested by any
such Holder, to confirm such advice in writing:

                    (i) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
               suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration
               Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that
               purpose;

                    (ii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification
               with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the
               securities included in any Shelf Registration Statement for
               sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of
               any proceeding for such purpose; and

                    (iii) of the suspension of the use of the Prospectus
               pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof or of the happening of any
               event that requires the making of any changes in the Shelf
               Registration Statement or the Prospectus so that, as of such
               date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit
               to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
               necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the
               Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were
               made) not misleading (which advice shall be accompanied by an
               instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the
               requisite changes have been made); provided that such notice
               shall not be required to specify the nature of the event giving
               rise to the notice requirement hereunder.

          (d) The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal
     of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Shelf Registration
     Statement at the earliest possible time.

          (e) The Company shall furnish to each Holder of Shares included
     within the coverage of any Shelf Registration Statement, without charge,
     at least one copy of such Shelf Registration Statement and any post-
     effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and
     schedules, and, if the Holder so requests in writing, all exhibits
     (including those incorporated by reference).

          (f) The Company shall, during the Shelf Registration Period, deliver
     to each Holder of Shares included within the coverage of any Shelf
     Registration Statement, without charge, as many copies of the

<PAGE>

                                                                             6

     Prospectus (including each preliminary Prospectus) included in such Shelf
     Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such
     Holder may reasonably request; and the Company consents to the use of the
     Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling
     Holders of securities in connection with the offering and sale of the
     securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
     thereto.

          (g) Prior to any offering of securities pursuant to any Shelf
     Registration Statement, the Company shall register or qualify or
     cooperate with the Holders of Shares included therein and their
     respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification
     of such securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky
     laws of such jurisdictions as any such Holders reasonably request in
     writing and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or
     advisable to enable the offer and sale in such jurisdictions of the
     securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement; provided,
     however, that the Company will not be required to qualify generally to do
     business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take
     any action which would subject it to general service of process or to
     taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

          (h) The Company shall cooperate with the Holders of Shares to
     facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
     representing the Shares to be sold pursuant to any Shelf Registration
     Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such denominations and
     registered in such names as Holders may request prior to sales of
     securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement.

          (i) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraph
     (c)(2)(iii) above, the Company shall, if required pursuant to the Act or
     paragraph (c)(2)(iii) above, promptly prepare a post-effective amendment
     to any Shelf Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to the
     related Prospectus or file any other required document so that, as
     thereafter delivered to purchasers of the securities included therein,
     the Prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or
     omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein,
     in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
     misleading.

                                                                             7

          (j) The Company shall use its best efforts to comply with all
     applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and shall make
     generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable after
     the effective date of the applicable Shelf Registration Statement an
     earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act.

          (k) The Company may require each Holder of Shares to be sold
     pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the Company
     such information regarding the Holder and the distribution of such Shares
     as the Company may from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in
     such Shelf Registration Statement. Any Holder who fails to provide such
     information shall not be entitled to use the Prospectus.

          (l) In the event Holders owning at least 300,000 Shares determine to
     engage the services of an underwriter and provide notice to the other
     Holders of such determination, each Holder of shares who chooses to sell
     pursuant to an underwriting agreement agrees to enter into and perform
     such Holder's obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and
     customary form, including, without limitation, customary indemnification
     and contribution obligations, with the Managing Underwriter of such
     offering and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order
     to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Shares, unless such
     Holder has notified the Company in writing of such Holder's election to
     exclude all of such Holder's Shares from such underwritten offering. The
     Company shall, if requested, promptly incorporate in a Prospectus
     supplement or post-effective amendment to a Shelf Registration Statement,
     such information as the Managing Underwriters and Holders reasonably
     agree should be included therein and shall make all required filings of
     such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as
     notified of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement
     or post- effective amendment.

          (m) The Company shall enter into such agreements (including
     underwriting agreements) in connection with the registration or the
     disposition of the Shares, and in connection therewith, if an
     underwriting agreement is entered into, cause the same to contain
     indemnification provisions and procedures no less favorable than those
     set forth in Section 5 (or such other provisions and procedures
     acceptable to the Holders and the Managing Underwriters), with respect to

<PAGE>

                                                                             8

     all parties to be indemnified pursuant to Section 5 by Holders of Shares
     to the Company, it being understood that all underwriting discounts and
     commissions, and all other underwriting fees, associated with such
     agreement in connection with such offering of the Shares shall, except as
     otherwise expressly agreed herein (including, without limitation, those
     expenses covered by Section 4), be for the account of the Holders or the
     underwriters.

          (n) The Company shall (i) make reasonably available for inspection
     by the Holders of Shares to be registered thereunder, any underwriter
     participating in any disposition pursuant to such Shelf Registration
     Statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the
     Holders or any such underwriter all relevant financial and other records,
     pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its
     subsidiaries; (ii) cause the Company's officers, directors and employees
     to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the Holders or
     any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with
     such Shelf Registration Statement as is customary for similar due
     diligence examinations; provided, however, that any information that is
     designated in writing by the Company, in good faith, as confidential at
     the time of delivery of such information shall be kept confidential by
     the Holders or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent,
     unless disclosure thereof is made in connection with a court proceeding
     or required by law, or such information has become available (not in
     violation of this agreement) to the public generally or through a third
     party without an accompanying obligation of confidentiality; (iii) make
     such representations and warranties to the Holders of securities
     registered thereunder and the underwriters, if any, in form, substance
     and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in primary
     underwritten offerings and covering matters including, but not limited
     to, those set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement; (iv) obtain opinions
     of counsel to the Company and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions
     (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
     Managing Underwriters, if any) addressed to each selling Holder and the
     underwriters, if any, covering such matters as are customarily covered in
     opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as
     may be reasonably requested by such Holders and underwriters; (v) obtain
     "cold comfort" letters and updates thereof from the independent certified
     public

<PAGE>

                                                                             9

     accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other independent
     certified public accountants of any subsidiary of the Company or of any
     business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and
     financial data are, or are required to be, included in the Shelf
     Registration Statement), addressed to each selling Holder of securities
     registered thereunder and the underwriters, if any, in customary form and
     covering matters of the type customarily covered in "cold comfort"
     letters in connection with primary underwritten offerings; and (vi)
     deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by
     the Majority Holders and the Managing Underwriters, if any, including
     those to evidence compliance with Section 3(i) and with any customary
     conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement
     entered into by the Company. The foregoing actions set forth in clauses
     (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of this Section 3(p) shall be performed at (A)
     the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement and each
     post-effective amendment thereto and (B) each closing under any
     underwriting or similar agreement as and to the extent required
     thereunder.

          4. Registration Expenses. The Estate shall bear all expenses
incurred in connection with the performance of the Company's obligations under
Sections 2 and 3 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this obligation of the
Estate shall not include bearing any costs or expenses of the Company that may
arise under Section 5 hereof.

          5. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) In connection with any
Shelf Registration Statement, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless each Holder of securities covered thereby (including the Purchasers),
the directors, officers, employees and agents of each such Holder and each
person who controls any such Holder within the meaning of either the Act or
the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the
Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation,
at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
the Shelf Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment
thereof, or in any preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, or in any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to

<PAGE>

                                                                            10

make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such
indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that (i) the Company will
not be liable in any case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on
behalf of any such Holder or underwriter or Managing Underwriter specifically
for inclusion therein, (ii) the Company shall not be liable to any indemnified
party under this indemnity agreement with respect to any Shelf Registration
Statement or Prospectus to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability of such indemnified party results solely from an untrue statement of a
material fact contained in, or the omission of a material fact from, the Shelf
Registration Statement or Prospectus which untrue statement or omission was
corrected in an amended or supplemented Shelf Registration Statement or
Prospectus, if the person alleging such loss, claim, damage or liability was not
sent or given, at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, a copy of
the amended or supplemented Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus if the
Company had previously furnished copies thereof to such indemnified party and if
such delivery of a prospectus is finally judicially determined to be required by
the Act and was not so made and (iii) the Company will not be liable to any
indemnified party under this indemnity agreement with respect to any Shelf
Registration Statement or Prospectus to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage or liability of such indemnified party results (a) from the use of a
Shelf Registration Statement during a period when a stop order has been issued
in respect thereof or any proceedings for that purpose have been initiated or
(b) from the use of the Prospectus during a period when the use of the
Prospectus has been suspended in accordance with Section 2(c) hereof, provided,
in each case, that Holders received prior notice of such stop order, initiation
of proceedings or suspension. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to
any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

          (b) Each Holder of Shares covered by a Shelf Registration Statement
(including the Purchasers) severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (i)
the Company, (ii) each of its directors, (iii) each of its officers who signs
such Shelf Registration Statement and (iv) each person who controls the
Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act to the same
extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each such Holder, but
only

<PAGE>

                                                                            11

with reference to written information relating to such Holder furnished to the
Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion in the
documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement
will be in addition to any liability which any such Holder may otherwise have.

          (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 5 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
party under this Section 5, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i)
will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and
to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure
results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and
defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from
any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification
obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party
shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party's choice at the
indemnifying party's expense to represent the indemnified party in any action
for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party
shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate
counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth
below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory
to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party's election to
appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the
indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including
local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees,
costs and expenses of such separate counsel (and local counsel) if (i) the use
of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party
would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or
potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall
have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it
and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to
those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall
not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to
represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the
institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the
indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the
indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not,

<PAGE>

                                                                            12

without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or
compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending
or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which
indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the
indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action)
unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional
release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such
claim, action, suit or proceeding.

          (d) To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is
prohibited or limited by law, the indemifying party agrees to make the maximum
contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be
liable under this Section to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided,
however, that (i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the
maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards
set forth in this Section, (ii) no seller of Shares guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Shares who was not guilty
of such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (iii) contribution (together with
any indemnification or other obligations under this Agreement) by any seller
of Shares shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by
such seller from the sale of such Shares.

          (e) The provisions of this Section 5 will remain in full force and
effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or
the Company or any of the officers, directors or controlling persons referred
to in Section 5 hereof, and will survive the sale by a Holder of Shares
covered by a Shelf Registration Statement.

          6. Miscellaneous.

          (a) No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor the Estate
     have, as of the date hereof, entered into, nor shall we, on or after the
     date hereof, enter into, any agreement with respect to the Shares that is
     inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders herein or otherwise
     conflicts with the provisions hereof.

          (b) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement,
     including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, qualified,
     modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the
     provisions hereof may not be given, unless the

<PAGE>

                                                                            13

     Company has obtained the written consent of the Majority Holders;
     provided that, with respect to any matter that directly or indirectly
     affects the rights of any Purchaser hereunder, the Company shall obtain
     the written consent of such Purchaser against which such amendment,
     qualification, supplement, waiver or consent is to be effective.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing (except the foregoing proviso), a waiver or
     consent to departure from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter
     that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose Shares is being
     sold pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement and that does not
     directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by
     the Majority Holders, determined on the basis of Shares being sold rather
     than registered under such Shelf Registration Statement.

          (c) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or
     permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery,
     first-class mail, telecopier, or air courier guaranteeing overnight
     delivery:

          Section 6(c);

               (2) if to you, initially at the addresses set forth in the
          Stock Purchase Agreement;

               (3) if to the Company, initially at its address set forth in
          the Stock Purchase Agreement; and

               (4) if to the Estate, initially at the address set forth in the
          Stock Purchase Agreement.

          All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been
     duly given when received.

          The Purchasers or the Company by notice to the other may designate
     additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or
     communications.

          (d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the
     benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the
     parties, including, without the need for an express assignment or any
     consent by the Company thereto, subsequent

     Holders of the Shares. The Company hereby agrees to extend the benefits
     of this Agreement to any Holder of Shares and any such Holder may
     specifically enforce the provisions of this Agreement as if an original
     party hereto.

          (e) Counterparts. This agreement may be executed in any number of
     counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
     which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
     taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

          (f) Headings. The headings in this agreement are for convenience of
     reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning
     hereof.

          (g) Governing Law. This agreement shall be governed by and construed
     in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

          (h) Severability. In the event that any one or more of the
     provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any
     circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect
     for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such
     provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof
     shall not be in any way impaired or affected thereby, it being intended
     that all of the rights and privileges of the parties shall be enforceable
     to the fullest extent permitted by law.
