counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile shall be equally as effective as delivery of an
original executed counterpart of this Amendment. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of
this Amendment by telefacsimile also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this
Amendment but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the
validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Amendment.
