Reference is made to the Amended and Restated License Agreement dated January 13, 2015 between Tapestry, Inc.

The term “Parties” collectively refers to Licensor and Licensee.

 

Except as otherwise defined, all capitalized terms used in this Second Amendment have the meaning ascribed to them in the License Agreement. From and after the Second Amendment Effective date, references in the License Agreement and this Second Amendment refer to the License Agreement as modified by the terms of this Second Amendment, unless otherwise specified.

4.Except as expressly modified by this Second Amendment, all terms and conditions of the License Agreement are incorporated by reference and remain in full force and effect.

 

5.This Second Amendment may be executed in electronic counterparts, each of which is deemed to be an executed original even if all signatures do not appear on the same counterpart. The Parties may sign and deliver this Second Amendment via electronic transmission (via DocuSign or PDF), and agree that delivery by DocuSign/PDF is as legally binding as if physically signed in writing and has, for all purposes, the same force and effect as delivery of original signatures. No certification or authority or other third party verification is necessary to validate an electronic signature; however, at the request of any party, the Parties will confirm such electronic transmission by signing a duplicate original document.

 

6.This Second Amendment is governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed in the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles.
