The Company hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and covenants and agrees from and after the date hereof
that none of the terms offered to any Person with respect to any consent, release, amendment, settlement or waiver relating to
the terms, conditions and transactions contemplated hereby (each an "Amendment Document"), is or will be more
favorable to such Person than those of the Holder and this Agreement.  If, and whenever on or after the date hereof, the
Company enters into an Amendment Document, then (i) the Company shall provide notice thereof to the Holder immediately following
the occurrence thereof and (ii) the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be, without any further action by the Holder
or the Company, automatically amended and modified in an economically and legally equivalent manner such that the Holder shall
receive the benefit of the more favorable terms and/or conditions (as the case may be) set forth in such Amendment Document, provided
that upon written notice to the Company at any time the Holder may elect not to accept the benefit of any such amended or modified
term or condition, in which event the term or condition contained in this Agreement shall apply to the Holder as it was in effect
immediately prior to such amendment or modification as if such amendment or modification never occurred with respect to the Holder. 
The provisions of this Section 7 shall apply similarly and equally to each Amendment Document.

 

		8.	INDEPENDENT NATURE OF HOLDERS' OBLIGATIONS AND RIGHTS.
The obligations of the Holder under this Agreement and the Other Holders under any Other Agreement are several and not joint with
the obligations of any of the Holders, and the Holder shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations
of any Other Holder under any Other Agreement. Nothing contained herein or in any Other Agreement, and no action taken by the
Holder pursuant hereto or any Other Holder pursuant to thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as, and the Company
acknowledges that the Holders do not so constitute, 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, and the Company shall not assert any
such claim with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Other Agreement and the
Company acknowledges that the Holders are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and any Other Agreement. The Company acknowledges and the Holder confirms that it has independently
participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. The Holder
shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this
Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
