This Amendment will be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal Laws of the State of Delaware will control the interpretation and construction of this Secured Promissory Note, even though under that jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.

The Parties agree that the delivery of this Amendment may be effected by means of an exchange of electronic signatures with original copies to follow by mail or courier service.
