(a)Section III.C.3. Section III.C.3 as set forth in the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced only with “[Intentionally Omitted]”.

 

3.Date of Effectiveness. This Amendment, including all of the changes set forth in Section ‎2 hereof, shall become effective as of the Effective Date. On and after the Effective Date, each reference in the Agreement to “this Agreement,” “the Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein,” or words of like import, and each reference to the Agreement in any other agreements, documents, or instruments executed and delivered pursuant to, or in connection with, the Agreement, will mean and be a reference to the Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

 

4.Representations and Warranties. Each of the Parties hereby represents and warrants that it has entered into this Amendment voluntarily and of its own volition. Each Party acknowledges that no other Party, nor any agent or attorney of any other Party, has made any promise, representation, or warranty whatsoever, express or implied, not expressly contained in this Amendment concerning the subject matter hereof, or any other matter whatsoever, to induce said Party to execute or authorize the execution of this Amendment. Each Party acknowledges that it has not executed or authorized the execution of this Amendment in reliance upon any promise, representation, or warranty not expressly contained herein.

 

5.Jurisdiction.
