This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be an original,
but all of which together will constitute one instrument. Each party of this Agreement agrees to
the use of electronic signatures, such as digital signatures that meet the requirements of the
California Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (("CUETA") Cal. Civ. Code §§ 1633.1 to
1633.17), for executing this Agreement. The parties further agree that the electronic signatures of
the parties included in this Agreement are intended to authenticate this writing and to have the
same force and effect as manual signatures. Electronic signature means an electronic sound,
symbol, or process attached to or logically associated with an electronic record and executed or

identifier, created by computer, intended by the party using it to have the same force and effect as
the use of a manual signature, and shall be reasonably relied upon by the parties. For purposes of
this section, a digital signature is a type of "electronic signature" as defined in subdivision (i) of
Section 1633.2 of the Civil Code.
