(b)          Each reference to the Agreement in the Agreement (as it existed prior to this Amendment) and in every other agreement, contract or instrument to which the parties are bound, shall hereafter be construed as a reference to the Agreement as amended by this Amendment. No amendment or modification to this Amendment shall be valid unless made in writing and executed by both parties hereto. 

 

(c)          Paragraph headings in this Amendment are included for convenience only and are not to be used to construe or interpret this Amendment.
