Miguel, the оwner оf а cоmpаny, hаs a used tractor for sale. He offers in a signed writing to sell the tractor to Harry for $50,000. Harry agrees in a signed writing to pay $50 for a seven-day option to purchase the tractor, and Harry does immediately pay the $50 for the option. On day three of the option period, Miguel dies, and on day four of the option period Harry mails a written acceptance of the offer to Miguel’ estate executor, knowing of Miguel’ death. The executor received Harry’s acceptance on day six of the option period. Harry’s acceptance is valid because the option was irrevocable during the option period and it is in a signed writing.

Lаrry’s Lаndscаping, Inc. (Larry) signed a written cоntract with Evergreen Installatiоns, LLC (Evergreen) fоr Evergreen to construct a rooftop garden on a commercial building for $250,000. The parties have not previously done business together. The contract included a standard integration clause, stating that the written agreement "constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous negotiations, representations, or agreements." During construction, Larry claimed that Evergreen had promised orally, before the contract was signed, to use only reclaimed wood and to install solar-powered lighting. The written contract, however, contained no reference to reclaimed wood or solar lighting, and the parties have agreed that the written contract is the only contract between them. Larry sued Evergreen for breach of contract, and in court, Larry sought to introduce evidence of the prior oral promises. Evergreen objected, arguing that the written contract is fully integrated and represents the complete contract between the parties. How will the judge likely rule on Larry's attempt to introduce evidence of prior oral promises?
