shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 6, each person who
controls a Holder within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and

Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this
paragraph (d).
(e) The provisions of this Section 6 will remain in full force and effect,
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder, the Company
or any underwriter or any of the officers, directors or controlling persons
referred to in this Section 6 and will survive the sale by a Holder of
securities covered by a Registration Statement.
7. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) NO INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS. The Company has not, as of the date hereof,
entered into, nor shall it, on or after the date hereof, enter into, any
agreement with respect to its securities 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 Company has obtained the written consent of the
Holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding aggregate principal
amount of Securities (or, after the consummation of any Exchange Offer in
accordance with Section 2 hereof, of Exchange Securities); PROVIDED that, with
respect to any matter that directly or indirectly materially and adversely
affects the rights of any Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Company shall obtain
the written consent of each such Initial 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 securities are being sold pursuant to a 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
securities being sold rather than registered under such Registration Statement.

telecopier, or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:
