5.     Governing Law; Miscellaneous. This Amendment shall be governed and construed in accordance with the governing law of the Agreement. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but such counterparts, together, constitute only one (1) instrument.
