&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This Amendment shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the application of the principles of conflicts or choice or laws (other than New York General Obligations Law 5-1401 and 5-1402).
