jurisdiction only to the extent of such prohibition, invalidity or unenforceability, without
invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions
of this Amendment, the other Amendment Documents or any other statement, instrument or transaction
contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto in such jurisdiction, or affecting the

original, provided that all such counterparts shall be regarded as one and the same document, and

of such agreement.




          Section 12. Governing Law. THE AMENDMENT DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL
