11.   Miscellaneous.

(a)   This Fifth Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Fifth Amendment by facsimile or electronic mail shall be equally effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Fifth Amendment.
