2. The foregoing amendment shall take effect as of the 1st day of March, 2014.


 


3. In all other respects the Management Agreement remains unchanged and of full force and effect.


 


4. This Amendment No. 1 may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute the same agreement.
