The Original Contract has previously been amended by the following amendments (if any): [LIST_OF_PRIOR_AMENDMENTS_WITH_DATES] (the "Prior Amendments").

5. Definitions

Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined have the meanings given to them in the Original Contract. In the event of any inconsistency between a defined term in this Amendment and the same defined term in the Original Contract, the meaning given in this Amendment shall prevail solely for the purposes of this Amendment and any Sections of the Original Contract amended by it.

6. Specific Amendments

With effect from the Amendment Effective Date, the Original Contract is amended as follows.

Except as expressly amended by this Amendment, all terms, conditions, rights, obligations, and provisions of the Original Contract (and any Prior Amendments) remain unchanged and continue in full force and effect. The Parties ratify and confirm the Original Contract as so amended. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Amendment and the terms of the Original Contract or any Prior Amendments, the terms of this Amendment shall prevail to the extent of the conflict or inconsistency, but only in respect of the matters expressly addressed in this Amendment.
