The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of Seller's
obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby have been duly and validly authorized and approved by the Boards of
Directors of each Seller (or its general partner) and no further actions or

and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of Seller's obligations
hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. This
Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by each Seller, and
this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of each

approval or authorization of, or declaration, filing or registration with, any
party, domestic or foreign, is necessary in connection with the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Seller, the failure of which
