effective; provided, however, that such date shall never be less than [90] days
after the receipt of such notice by the Company unless the Company [and the
Co-Issuer] agree[s] to accept less notice. Upon receipt of such notice of
resignation, the Company [and the Co-Issuer] shall promptly act to appoint a
successor Agent. The Agent may be removed at any time by the Company [and the
Co-Issuer] by delivering written notice thereof specifying such removal and the
date when it is intended to become effective. Any resignation or removal of the
Agent shall take effect upon the date of the appointment by the Company [and the
Co-Issuer] as hereinafter provided of a successor and the acceptance of such
appointment by such successor.

              In case at any time the Agent shall resign, or shall be removed,
or shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or
insolvent, or if a receiver of its or of its property shall be appointed, or if
any public officer shall take charge or control of its or of its property or
affairs, for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, a
successor agent, eligible as aforesaid, shall be appointed by the Company [and
the Co-Issuer].

              Upon the appointment as aforesaid of a successor agent and
acceptance by it of such appointment, the Agent so superseded shall cease to be
the Agent hereunder. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the
Company [and the Co-Issuer] and shall have accepted appointment as hereinafter
provided, then the Registered Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Outstanding Warrants, on such Holders' behalf and on behalf of all others
similarly situated may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Agent.

              Any successor Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge
and deliver to its predecessor and to the Company an instrument accepting such
appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Agent, without any further
act deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority, rights,
powers, immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor with like effect
as if originally named as such Agent hereunder, and such predecessor, upon
payment of its charges and disbursements then unpaid, shall simultaneously
therewith become obligated to transfer, deliver and pay over, and such successor
Agent shall be entitled to receive, all moneys, [Notes/Debentures] or other
property on deposit with or held by such predecessor, as such Agent hereunder.
The Company or, at the discretion of the Company, the successor Agent, will give
prompt written notice by U.S. Mail to each Registered Owner of the Warrants at
such owner's address as it appears on the Register of the appointment of a
successor Agent. Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not
affect the appointment of a successor Agent.

              SECTION 9.5. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
Business of Agent. Any corporation into which the Agent 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 Agent shall be a
party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the assets and
business of the Agent, shall be the successor to the Agent hereunder, provided
such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Article IX, without the
execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto.

              In case any Warrants shall have been authenticated, but not
delivered, by the Agent then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or
consolidation to such authenticating Agent may adopt such authentication and
deliver the Warrants so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor
Agent had itself authenticated such Warrants.

Any notice, direction, request, demand, consent or waiver by the Company or any

              SECTION 10.5. Limitation of Rights to Parties and Registered
Owners of Warrants. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Warrants expressed or
implied is intended or shall be construed to give to any Person other than the
Company, [the Co-Issuer,] the Agent and the Registered Owners of the Warrants
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this
Agreement or any covenant, condition or provision herein or in the Warrants. All
such covenants, conditions and provisions are and shall be held to be for the

              SECTION 10.6. Separability of Invalid Provisions. In case any one
or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in the Warrants shall
for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect,
such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other
provision of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such
invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

              SECTION 10.7. No Waiver of Rights. A failure or delay in
exercising any right, power or privilege in respect of this Warrant Agreement
will not be presumed to operate as a waiver, and a single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege will not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or
further exercise of that right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other
right, power or privilege.

              SECTION 10.8. Execution in Several Counterparts. This Agreement
may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall for all
