This Second Amendment, together with the Existing Lease, constitutes the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant regarding the matters set forth herein or therein, and supersedes any and all prior and/or contemporaneous oral or written negotiations, agreements or understandings. Subject to, and without limitation of, the terms, provisions and conditions of the Lease (including those related to assignments, subleases and other transfers by Tenant), the

​

agreements, conditions, and provisions herein contained shall apply to and bind the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

The terms of this Section 9 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

11.Counterparts; Signatures: This Second Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts.

The parties hereto consent and agree that this Second Amendment may be signed and/or transmitted by facsimile, e-mail of a PDF document or using electronic signature technology (e.g., via DocuSign or similar electronic signature technology), and that such signed electronic record shall be valid and as effective to bind the party so signing as a paper copy bearing such party’s handwritten signature. The parties further consent and agree that (i) to the extent a party signs this Second Amendment using electronic signature technology, by clicking “SIGN”, such party is signing this Second Amendment electronically, and (ii) the electronic signatures appearing on this Second Amendment shall be treated, for purposes of validity, enforceability and admissibility, the same as handwritten signatures.
