provided that the provisions of Section 9.03 of the Agreement shall continue

construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
SECTION 5. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Amendment may be
signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with
the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same
instrument. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date hereof when

each of the parties hereto (or, in the case of any party as to which an
executed counterpart shall not have been received, the Agent shall have
received telegraphic, telex or other written confirmation from such party of
execution of a counterpart hereof by such party) and (ii) the Agent shall have
