               respect to the amendment of Schedule 4.1 to incorporate such
               revisions or modifications, the Quality of Service standards as

               continue in full force and effect.

shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement. Except as
expressly set forth herein, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
