counterpart of this Third Amendment. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Second Amendment by facsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Third Amendment but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Third Amendment.
