1997 Indenture) shall have occurred, or (v) the Board of Directors of the
Company shall not consist of a majority of Continuing Directors; as used in this
paragraph "Continuing Directors" shall mean the directors of the Company on the
Closing Date and each other director, if such other director's nomination for

subsection 8.1) or any other Loan Document or to prejudice any other right or
rights which the Lenders may now have or may have in the future under or in
connection with the Credit Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements
referred to therein, as the same may be amended from time to time.
