event which may arise subsequent to the date hereof. Furthermore, the Company
acknowledges and agrees that the Holders shall not be under any further

and thereby and supersedes all previous written, oral or implied understandings
among them with respect to such matters.
6. The
Company has elected to provide all Holders with the same terms and form of
agreement for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or
requested to do so by the Holders. The obligations of each Holder
under this Agreement, and any Transaction Document are several and not joint
with the obligations of any other Holder, and no Holder shall be responsible in
any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other
Holder under this Agreement or any Transaction Document. Nothing
contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any
Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as
a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or
create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a
group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or the Transaction Documents. Each Holder shall be entitled
to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation,
the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction
Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an
additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Holder has
had the opportunity to be represented by its own separate legal counsel in their
review and negotiation of this Agreement and the Transaction
Documents.
