the terms of the SEA and/or CBA shall prevail.

signature and that such signature shall have the same legal effect as if, such signature had been manually written by
the Employer. The parties acknowledge and agree that, in any legal proceedings between them in any way relating
to this Agreement, the parties expressly waive any right to claim based upon the execution of the Agreement by the
Employer by means of an electronically- produced signature. The Employee may deliver the signed Agreement
