Both parties agree that this Amendment will constitute an integral, non-severable part of said Agreement, and that this Amendment will be governed by the provisions of said Agreement, except that if the Agreement and this Amendment have specific provisions that are inconsistent, the specific provisions contained in this Amendment will govern.

Both parties agree that neither this Amendment nor the approval thereof, as provided in Paragraph 3 above, shall constitute an assumption of the Agreement or the Amendment under section 365 (a) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise in the Buyer’s pending bankruptcy proceedings, and nothing contained herein shall be construed to constitute such an assumption, and the Buyer reserves all of its rights in such regard.
