This letter will confirm the commitment of Harbinger Capital Partners

the Investor (i) to purchase the Investor Shares pursuant to the Agreement (the
"Purchase Obligation") and (ii) to satisfy the Investor's other obligations
under the Agreement, if any; provided, however, that the aggregate liability of
Harbinger under clauses (i) and (ii) shall under no circumstances exceed the Cap

breach of this letter agreement exceed, in the aggregate, the Cap for any
reason, (ii) under no circumstances shall Harbinger be liable for punitive
damages, and (iii) the liability of Harbinger shall be limited to monetary
damages only. There is no express or implied intention to benefit any person or
entity not party

hereto and nothing contained in this letter agreement is intended, nor shall
anything herein be construed, to confer any rights, legal or equitable, in any
person or entity other than the Investor and the Company. Subject to the terms
and conditions of this letter agreement, the Company shall have the right to
assert its rights hereunder directly against Harbinger.
The terms and conditions of this letter agreement may be amended,
modified or terminated only in a writing signed by all of the parties hereto.
Harbinger's obligations hereunder may not be assigned, except its obligations to
provide the Funds may be assigned to one or more of its affiliated funds or
managed accounts affiliated with Harbinger, provided that such assignment will
not relieve Harbinger of its obligations under this letter agreement.
This commitment will be effective upon the Investor's acceptance of
the terms and conditions of this letter agreement (by signing below) and the
execution of the Agreement by the Company and will expire on the earliest to
occur of (i) the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, and
(ii) termination of the Agreement in accordance with its terms; provided,
however, that in the event that the Agreement is terminated, Harbinger'
obligations hereunder to provide funds to the Investor to fund the Investor's
obligations under the Agreement on account of any willful breach of the
Agreement for which the Investor would be liable shall survive; provided,
further, that the Company shall provide Harbinger with written notice within 90
days after the termination of the Agreement of any claim that a willful breach
of the Agreement has occurred for which the Investor would be liable and if the
Company fails to timely provide such notice then all of Harbinger' obligations
hereunder shall terminate, this letter agreement shall expire and any claims
hereunder shall be forever barred. Upon the termination or expiration of this
letter agreement all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall
terminate and there shall be no liability on the part of any party hereto.
