The undersigned hereby certify that this Amendment No. 10 has been duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have hereunto set their hands and seals for themselves and their assigns, as of the day and year first above written. This instrument may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall together constitute a single instrument.
