2.       Amendment to Building 8 Façade Signage. Landlord and Tenant each acknowledge and agree that (a) Section 9 of the Eighth Amendment is hereby amended so that the Building 8 Façade Sign shall be located on the top exterior of the south side of Building 8, as depicted on Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and in no other location on the exterior of Building 8, and (b) Section 6 of the Ninth Amendment is hereby amended so that the Building 8 Façade Sign may also include, at Tenant’s option, Tenant’s logos.

3.       Building 10 and Building 11 Signage.

 

(a)       Commencing on the Effective Date, in addition to all other signage rights granted to Tenant pursuant to the Lease, Tenant shall have the exclusive right to install and maintain in a first class manner: (i) one (1) exterior sign on the south side of Building 10 (the “Building 10 Façade Sign”); and (ii) one (1) exterior sign on the north side of Building 11 (the “Building 11 Façade Sign”), using any, a combination of any, or all of Tenant’s and its related companies’ brand names and logos, including, but not limited to, Norwegian, Oceania, Regent, and any others pursuant to the same terms and conditions of Section 9 of the Eighth Amendment. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to replace the building wraps currently existing on the west side of Building 10 and the west side of Building 11 (together, the “Current Wraps”) with new building wraps (“New Wraps”) in the same location, subject to Landlord’s prior written approval of the New Wraps, and provided that (i) the New Wraps are substantially similar in size to the Current Wraps, (ii) Landlord shall have the right to be present when the Current Wraps are removed and perform an inspection of the exterior walls of Building 10 and Building 11 to ensure the Current Wraps have not caused any damage thereto, and (iii) in the event the Current Wraps have caused damage to Building 10 or Building 11, Tenant shall repair such damage to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction. The signage rights granted herein shall be deemed to be personal to Tenant and its Affiliates, and if Tenant subleases any portion of the Premises or otherwise assigns or transfers any interest thereof to another party, such signage rights shall lapse. All costs associated with the fabrication, installation, maintenance, removal and replacement of the Building 10 Façade Sign, the Building 11 Façade Sign, and the New Wraps shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant. Tenant shall maintain such signage in good condition and repair. Tenant shall remove such signage and repair any damage caused thereby, at its sole cost and expense, upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease. The color, content, size and other specifications of any such signage shall be in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lease, and shall be subject to Landlord's prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Further, Tenant shall ensure that all signage complies with any and all applicable local zoning codes and building regulations.

 

(b)        Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Tenant shall remove all abandoned signage brackets located on the exterior of Building 10 and Building 11 prior to Tenant’s installation of the new Building 10 and Building 11 Façade Signs, and Tenant shall repair any damage caused by such removal to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction.

 

(c)       Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in the Lease, Landlord hereby approves the color, content, size, and other specifications for the Building 10 Façade Sign and Building 11 Façade Sign, both as depicted on Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, with such changes from time to time desired by Tenant to reflect its current brand names and logos so long as such changes to the brand names and logos on the signage are substantially similar to the color, size, and other specifications set forth on Exhibit B.

 

4.       Counterparts; Electronic Signatures.  This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, including both counterparts that are executed on paper and counterparts that are in the form of electronic records and are executed electronically.  An electronic signature means any electronic sound, symbol or process attached to or logically associated with a record and executed and adopted by a party with the intent to sign such record, including facsimile or e-mail electronic signatures.  All executed counterparts shall constitute one agreement, and each counterpart shall be deemed an original.  The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that electronic records and electronic signatures, as well as facsimile signatures, may be used in connection with the execution of this Amendment and electronic signatures, facsimile signatures or signatures transmitted by electronic mail in so-called pdf format shall be legal and binding and shall have the same full force and effect as if a paper original of this Amendment had been delivered and had been signed using a handwritten signature.  Landlord and Tenant (i) agree that an electronic signature, whether digital or encrypted, of a party to this Amendment is intended to authenticate this writing and to have the same force and effect as a manual signature, (ii) intend to be bound by the signatures (whether original, faxed or electronic) on any document sent or delivered by facsimile or, electronic mail, or other electronic means, (iii) are aware that the other party will rely on such signatures, and (iv) hereby waive any defenses to the enforcement of the terms of this Amendment based on the foregoing forms of signature.  If this Amendment has been executed by electronic signature, all parties executing this document are expressly consenting under the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act ("E-SIGN"), and Uniform Electronic Transactions Act ("UETA"), that a signature by fax, email or other electronic means shall constitute an Electronic Signature to an Electronic Record under both E-SIGN and UETA with respect to this specific transaction.

5.       Miscellaneous. With the exception of those matters set forth in this Amendment, Tenant's leasing of the Premises shall be subject to all terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease. In the event of any express conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Amendment and the terms of the Lease, the terms of this Amendment shall control and govern. Except as expressly modified by this Amendment, all other terms and conditions of the Lease are hereby ratified and affirmed. The parties acknowledge that the Lease is a valid and enforceable agreement and that, as of the date hereof to the best of Tenant’s actual knowledge, Tenant holds no claims against Landlord or its agents which might serve as the basis of any other set-off against accruing rent and other charges or any other remedy at law or in equity.
