and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby has been duly
and validly taken; this letter agreement has been duly authorized, executed
and delivered by the Issuer and each of the Note Guarantors and constitutes
a valid and legally binding agreement of the Issuer and each of the Note
Guarantors enforceable against the Issuer and each of the Note Guarantors
in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that such enforceability
