If either party delivers a signed counterpart of this Amendment by transmission of a facsimile or PDF, it shall also send promptly thereafter by overnight courier or personal delivery a signed original counterpart of this Amendment to the other party, but failure to do so shall not render this Amendment void or voidable by either party.

 

7.7.                            Binding Effect; Assignment.  Subject to Article 7 of the Original Sublease, this Amendment shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties to this Amendment and their respective successors and assigns.
