This letter agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such State. This letter agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement. Signature pages from separate identical counterparts may be combined with the same effect as if the parties signing such signature pages had signed the same counterpart. This letter agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received counterparts hereof signed by all of the other parties.

Each of the parties hereto will sign and deliver such other documents of further assurance as may reasonably be necessary to give effect to the provisions of this letter agreement.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please indicate your agreement by signing below, at which time this letter will constitute a binding agreement among us.
