3. MISCELLANEOUS
3.1 This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties

an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. In
accordance with the Operating Agreement, this Amendment shall be effective upon execution by the

request of any party hereto, each other party hereto shall re-execute original forms hereof and
deliver them to all other parties, except that the failure of any party to comply with such a
request shall not render this Amendment invalid or unenforceable. No party hereto shall raise the
use of a facsimile machine or other electronic transmission to deliver a signature, or the fact

electronic transmission, as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each
such party forever waives any such defense.
