                  waiver of any provision of this Amendment or of any provision
                  of any other agreement among the Companies and BAPM shall be
                  effective unless executed in writing by the party to be
                  charged with such modification, amendment and waiver, and if
                  such party shall be BAPM, then by a duly authorized officer

                  of this Amendment shall govern and control.
