Section 7.

Entire Agreement.  The Purchase Agreement (as amended by this Amendment) and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Sellers and the Purchaser with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 8.

Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Amendment is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and

provisions of this Amendment shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (as amended by this Amendment) is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either party hereto.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify the Purchase Agreement (as amended by this Amendment) so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (as amended by this Amendment) are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 9.

Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 10.  Governing Law.  This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York and, to the extent applicable, the Bankruptcy Code and the CCAA.  The parties hereto agree that the Bankruptcy Courts shall be the exclusive forums for enforcement of this Amendment and (only for the limited purpose of such enforcement) submit to the jurisdiction thereof; provided, that if the U.S. Bankruptcy Court determines that it does not have subject matter jurisdiction over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Amendment, then the Debtors and the Purchaser: (a) agree that all such actions or proceedings shall be heard and determined in a New York federal court sitting in The City of New York; (b) irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of such court in any such action or proceeding; (c) consent that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that such party may now or hereafter have to the venue or jurisdiction or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court; and (d) agree that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by providing a copy thereof by any of the methods of delivery permitted by the Purchase Agreement to such party at its address as provided in the Purchase Agreement (provided that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by Law).

Section 11.  Full Force and Effect.  Except as amended hereby, the Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
