respect to the rights and obligations as between CEB and ABC, shall end on

extend the term of the Agreement with respect to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ rights or obligations
under the Agreement.
Please indicate your agreement with the foregoing by signing and

respect to the subject matter hereof.
Very truly yours,
