under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver or amendment of any    
other provision of any of the Loan Documents or for any purpose except as       
expressly set forth herein.

different parties 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. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate  
counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages   
are attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed counterpart by       
telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of   
this Amendment.

      Each Guarantor hereby consents to this Amendment and agrees that the
terms hereof shall not affect in any way its obligations and liabilities under  
the Loan Documents (as amended and otherwise expressly modified hereby), all of

of which is hereby reaffirmed (as amended and otherwise expressly modified      
hereby).                                                                        

SECTION 8. GOVERNING LAW                                      

      This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
