2.                                       Amendment.

 

The Agreement is hereby amended by deleting Schedule B thereto in its entirety and substituting Schedule B attached hereto therefor.

 

3.                                       Miscellaneous.  Except to the extent specifically amended by this Amendment, the provisions of the Agreement shall remain unmodified, and the Agreement is ratified and affirmed as being in full force and effect.  This Amendment, the Agreement and the other documents and certificates referred to in the Agreement constitute the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede all prior and current understandings and agreements, whether written or oral.  This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

 


 

4.                                       Effective Date.  This Amendment shall be effective as of the date first written above.
