Any reference to the Share Escrow Agreement in the Share Escrow Agreement or any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate entered into or issued in connection therewith shall hereinafter mean the Share Escrow Agreement, as amended by this Amendment (or as the Share Escrow Agreement may be further amended or modified in accordance with the terms thereof).
