References in this letter agreement to articles, sections, subsections, schedules and exhibits are to articles, sections, subsections, schedules and exhibits of the Agreement or, when the context indicates, to sections and subsections of schedules and exhibits of the Agreement.

In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this letter agreement and the Agreement, this letter agreement shall control.
