This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by means of facsimile signature pages or signature pages delivered by electronic transmission in portable document format (pdf)), all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The signature of a party transmitted by facsimile or email shall be deemed to be its original signature for all purposes. This Amendment, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or electronic transmission in portable document format (pdf), shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.
