            Amendment with the same full force and effect as if each of such representations and warranties had been made by it on the date hereof and in this Amendment (except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an
            earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties remain true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date), and the Performance Undertaking is hereby ratified and confirmed.  The representations and warranties set
            forth above shall survive the execution of this Amendment.

       

      6.         CHOICE OF LAW.  THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF
