Failure to Pay

 

	
8.12.

	
If any payment required under this Agreement has not been received by the Company by the Payment Due Date, the Company may serve a written demand for payment.  Subject to Clauses 8.17 through 8.21 below, if the payment to which such written demand refers remains outstanding for thirty (30) days following receipt of such written demand, the Company may suspend the provision of any Service under this Agreement.  In the case where payment remains outstanding for more than sixty (60) days after the date on which the Company becomes entitled to suspend any Service, the Company shall have a right to terminate this Agreement forthwith.

 

The Company’s right to vary the payment provisions

 

	
8.13.

	
Without prejudice to the provisions of Clause 8.12 above, where the DP has failed to pay the Charges such that the Company would be entitled to suspend any Service pursuant to Clause 8.12 above, on the second occurrence of such failure to pay, the provisions of Clause 8.6 above shall be automatically varied such that the Payment Due Date shall be reduced to thirty (30) days after the end-date of the month to which the invoice refers. In such circumstances, the Company shall be entitled to require the DP to put in place additional credit protection including but not limited to a bank guarantee, parent company guarantee, escrow account or any other credit protection as the Company in its reasonable opinion deems appropriate.  Failure by the DP to provide such financial security within the time period stipulated by the Company shall be deemed to be a material breach of the DPs obligations under this Agreement.

 

	
8.14.

	
Following a reduction in the Payment Due Date pursuant to Clause 8.13 above, provided the DP pays for subsequent Charges on or before the Payment Due Date for a continuous period of twelve (12) months following such reduction, Clause 8.6 above shall be automatically varied such that the Payment Due Date shall be reinstated to the period specified in Clause 8.6.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 8.14 above, on the third occurrence of a failure to pay that would entitle the Company to suspend any Service, the provisions of Clause 8.6 above shall be automatically and permanently varied such that the Payment Due Date shall be reduced to thirty (30) days.

 

	
8.16.

	
If the DP or an entity guaranteeing the DPs obligations under this Agreement, defaults on its prime borrowings, enters administration, becomes insolvent, or if its financial position is such that, within the framework of applicable national law, legal action leading toward winding-up, bankruptcy, or dissolution may be taken, the Payment Due Date pursuant to Clause 8.6 above shall be automatically reduced to thirty (30) days and the Company may require payment on demand of all outstanding amounts due and payment in advance in respect of the provision of Services in the future.

 

Invoice disputes

 

	
8.17.

	
The DP shall notify the Company as soon as possible but no later than thirty (30) days after the date of an invoice of any disagreement regarding the Charges set out in that invoice.  Any such notice shall be in writing and shall include the reasons for the disagreement and, if applicable, a preliminary quantification of the disputed amount by means of a comparison of the Company’s traffic statement underlying the invoice, or part thereof, with the DP’s own call data records.  If the DP fails to provide to the Company the DP's relevant call data records or any other relevant records within sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of the invoice, the invoice shall be deemed to be undisputed and immediately payable in full by the DP, together with interest in accordance with Clause 8.9.  Following provision of the DP's relevant call data records, the Company and the DP shall enter into discussions and shall use their reasonable commercial efforts, including reciprocal provision of relevant records, to resolve disputes within ninety (90) days from the date of the invoice.  In the event that, as a result of such discussions, it is determined that the DP should pay any amount to the Company, the DP shall pay interest to the Company in accordance with Clause 8.9 for any amounts paid after the Payment Due Date notwithstanding initiation of such discussions.

 

	
8.18.

	
The DP shall in all circumstances pay the undisputed amount of any invoice by the relevant Payment Due Date.

 

	
8.19.

	
In the event that the Parties are unable to resolve a dispute concerning all or a portion of an invoice within the ninety (90) day period set forth in Clause 8.17, then such dispute shall be deemed to be a formal dispute.  In the event of a formal dispute, the Company and the DP, acting through their respective chief financial officers (or their designates), shall act in good faith to attempt to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days following initiation of the formal dispute.

In the event that the Company and the DP are unable to resolve the formal dispute in accordance with Clause 8.19 within the thirty (30) day period specified therein, the dispute shall be determined by an expert in accordance with Clause 24.2.  Where any payment made in accordance with Clause 8.19 has resulted in either an underpayment or an overpayment by the DP, such underpayment or overpayment shall be paid by the DP or refunded by the Company, as appropriate, including accrued interest calculated in accordance with Clause 8.9 from the Payment Due Date (if the payment is made by the DP) or from the later of the date of the overpayment by the DP or the Payment Due Date (if the payment is made by the Company), within fourteen (14) days of the determination resolving the dispute.

Taxes and Tax Credits

 

	
9.1.

	
The DP shall be liable for all taxes, levies, duties, costs, charges, withholdings, deductions or any charges of equivalent effect imposed on, or in respect of, the Services by any authority having the power to impose such taxes, whether or not the taxes described therein are collected by withholding or otherwise.

 

	
9.2.

	
The Company shall remain responsible for any income tax imposed on its profits or net income by taxation authorities in the United Kingdom or any other territory as a result of the Company maintaining a permanent establishment in that territory.  In the event that the Company is responsible for an income tax in accordance with this Clause and the DP may be required to withhold and remit to a taxation authority by deduction or otherwise, on or in respect of any amount to be paid by the DP to the Company under this Agreement as instalment or other payment of the Company’s income tax liability, such amount withheld and remitted shall be considered paid to the Company by the DP.  The DP shall provide reasonable assistance to the Company in its discussions with the relevant taxation authorities to minimize the amount of such withholdings or deductions including the provision of tax certificates to determine the amount of tax withheld.

 

	
9.3.

	
In the event that any tax, duty, impost, levy or like charge becomes payable in any territory in accordance with Clause 9.1 (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, taxes described in Clause 9.2), either by deduction or otherwise, on or in respect of any amount to be paid by the DP to the Company, or which the DP may be required to withhold in respect of any amount due to the Company under the Agreement, such tax, duty, impost, levy or like charge shall be for the account of the DP and the DP shall pay to the Company such an amount as to yield to the Company a net amount equal to the amount that but for such tax, levy, impost or charge would have been received by the Company.  The Company shall provide, insofar as it is able, reasonable assistance to the DP to minimize the amount of such withholdings or deductions, including providing any relevant certification of its status as a non-resident of a jurisdiction or of its entitlement to benefits under a treaty;

If, and to the extent that, the DP pays a tax in accordance with Clause 9.3 and the Company receives and retains the benefit of a refund of a tax or credit against income tax imposed on its profits (whether in the United Kingdom or any other territory in which the Company maintains a permanent establishment) or other tax liability which is attributable to the tax paid by the DP (a "Tax Credit"), then the Company shall reimburse such amount to the DP or, at the DP’s option, the DP may deduct the applicable amount from amounts payable to the Company hereunder, provided the Company is satisfied with the nature, amount and form of any such reimbursement, including the provision of tax certificates to determine the amount of tax withheld.  The Company shall be deemed to have received and retained the benefit of a Tax Credit when such a claim for such credit has been agreed and accepted by the relevant tax authority.  A Tax Credit shall be deemed to arise to the extent that the Company's current year tax payments are lower than they would have been without the benefit of said Tax Credit.  Use of Tax Credits shall be determined under a first-in, first-out basis;

 

	
9.5.

	
The DP may identify a Tax Credit for which the Company may be eligible and assist the Company in claiming such Tax Credit. In the event that the DP claims a reimbursement hereunder, the DP shall identify any such Tax Credit to the Company and provide all necessary information and assistance to the Company to claim such Tax Credit.  The Company shall make reasonable efforts to claim Tax Credits so identified, save that the Company is under no obligation to claim a Tax Credit or pursue a Tax Credit that has been denied by tax authorities beyond the normal representations of the Company to such tax authorities.  The Company shall assist the DP in further pursuit of denied Tax Credits provided the DP bears all costs of external advice or representations to the tax authorities or other relevant levels of appeal.

 

	
9.6.

	
In the event of an audit or other enquiry by any relevant tax authority related to taxes or Tax Credits related to the Services provided by the DP, the Parties shall provide such information to each other as may reasonably be regarded as necessary to comply with such audit, subject only to limitations imposed by law, confidentiality agreements with third parties, or where the information is deemed to be commercially sensitive.

Annex 1 (FleetBroadband)

Version 2.0, effective from 26 January 2009

 

 

1.             INTRODUCTION

 

This document provides an overview and summary of (1) Inmarsat's FleetBroadband services (the broadband telecommunication services which the vessel Satellite communications approved equipment delivers via Inmarsat’s Satellites and ground infrastructure) and (2) Inmarsat FleetBroadband UTs.

 

The installed Satellite communications equipment is referred to as a User Terminal, UT or Terminal in this document.  It is also known within the maritime industry as a Mobile Earth Station (MES).

 

This document details the services which FleetBroadband users can access and highlights the features and functional specification of the FleetBroadband UTs.  All performance figures quoted in this document are subject to FleetBroadband system verification tests and should be considered accordingly. All data rates shown are system Physical Layer rates – actual throughput rates will vary.

 

This document represents Inmarsat’s position regarding FleetBroadband Services at the date of issue of this document.

 

The document is based on Inmarsat BGAN SDM release 3.0.0 which contains the requirements for the FleetBroadband UTs. However, in case of any discrepancy, Inmarsat SDM document takes precedence.

 

1.1            Assumptions

 

  Inmarsat has identified a number of underlying assumptions in developing the FleetBroadband service and UT offering:

 

	
  

	
●

	
FleetBroadband UTs are procured by the end-user ‘customer’ from a manufacturer or reseller.

 

	
  

	
●

	
The FleetBroadband Service is procured separately from a Distribution Partner (DP) or a service provider.  DPs buy service on a wholesale basis from Inmarsat and sell service on to customers or Service Providers.  Service Providers buy service from DPs and sell service on to customers.

 

	
  

	
●

	
The user, Service Provider, or DP undertakes any installation or configuration required to use the FleetBroadband service.

 

	
  

	
●

	
The user employs the FleetBroadband UT as a Satellite modem in an onboard network. In order to access Inmarsat FleetBroadband service, an access device such as a server, ISDN device or other specialist peripheral is normally connected to the UT.

 

	
  

	
●

	
FleetBroadband UT will be employed for one or more of: voice, circuit switched data or IP data services.

 

	
  

	
●

	
FleetBroadband UT and services will be employed as part of a customer solution or installation, depending on the user requirement.

 

1.2             FleetBroadband Reference Architecture

 

     The reference architecture is shown in Figure 1 below.  Inmarsat system consists of three components:

 

	
  

	
1.

	
The Satellites.

 

	
  

	
2.

	
Inmarsat's ground infrastructure.

The vessel UT.

 

In addition there are two further components not shown in Figure 1: (1) the vessel UT equipment (TE) such as servers, lap tops and the customer applications and (2) any ground equipment/functions outside Inmarsat ground infrastructure such as servers and applications provided by Distribution Partners or other parties.

 

In the reference architecture there are four key interfaces:

 

	
  

	
1.

	
The air interface between the Satellite and the UT.

 

	
  

	
2.

	
The air interface between the Satellite and the ground infrastructure (the Satellite Access Station (SAS).

 

	
  

	
3.

	
The interface from the vessel UT by which Inmarsat's telecommunications services are delivered.

 

	
  

	
4.

	
The interface from Inmarsat's ground infrastructure by which Inmarsat's telecommunications services are delivered.

 

Interface 3 and 4 above are the service access points (SAP) between which the services defined in this document are delivered.

 

 

 

Figure 1 –FleetBroadband Reference Architecture

 

There are two UTs types defined for the FleetBroadband service. These units are referred to in the Annex as Class 8 (High Gain Antenna) and Class 9 (Low Gain Antenna) UTs.

2.      FLEETBROADBAND SERVICES

 

2.1            Introduction

 

The BGAN network is used to deliver FleetBroadband Services to the maritime market.  It is also used to deliver similar services to other market segments (e.g. aviation, land portable and land mobile).  It is a Satellite component of the Third Generation IMT-2000/Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (3G UMTS).  BGAN is a UMTS Release 4 network, however, BGAN has a proprietary Satellite radio interface (“IAI-2”) instead of the terrestrial WCDMA radio interface.

 

The term “BGAN Network” when used in this document relates specifically to the part of Inmarsat’s Satellite and ground network that carries FleetBroadband ervices.

 

As it is similar to a 3G network, FleetBroadband offers most services defined in the standard 3GPP (3G Partner Project) specifications. In addition FleetBroadband will offer a 4kbps voice service using proprietary compression technology and a 64Kbps ISDN service.

 

Figure 2 shows the services available.

FleetBroadband Services

 

Figure 2 – FleetBroadband Services

 

A UT will be capable of making simultaneous voice and data calls over the BGAN network.  Only 1 circuit switched (CS) service (plus SMS & additional services) is supported at any one time.

 

2.1.1           Service Performance

 

FleetBroadband UTs may offer users access to a 4kbps compressed, circuit switched voice channel and an IP (packet switched) data service. The class 8 UT will also support ISDN data.1

 

The observed performance or speed of the IP data connection is influenced by many factors. The two different antenna sizes of the two classes will mean achievable data rates will differ.

 

1 Class 9 UTs will support 3.1Khz audio services (including Fax), but not ISDN data.

Annex 1 (FleetBroadband)

Version 2.0, effective from 26 January 2009

 

Essentially, the larger the antenna the greater the achievable bit rate, particularly in the uplink or return direction. Larger antennas will also enable higher bit rates in more demanding ‘edge of beam’ locations and should provide service to lower elevations to the Satellite and in conditions of high fading (e.g. calm water conditions). In addition the performance of the antenna in terms of gain, G/T and ability to reject multipath will also affect the achievable bit rate.  Customers should also appreciate the number of users sharing the bearer at any particular time, will also impact achievable bit rate. All data rates quoted in this document (see ‎3.5) are subject to FleetBroadband system verification tests and should be considered accordingly, and may not be available at low elevation angles for a specific UT/link conditions. All data rates shown are system Physical Layer rates.

 

A brief description of each of the network services is provided below.

 

2.2             Packet-Switched Services

 

IP data is the principal service of the BGAN network. The simplest configuration of the FleetBroadband network sees up to two 512kbps IP bearers (each operating on its own physical channels) assigned to a given spot beam. These IP bearers are shared or contended between a number of active connections (PDP contexts). It is a useful parallel to consider a domestic broadband service. Further capacity can be assigned to a given spot beam in the way of extra channels, should there be sufficient demand

 

Each 512kbps bearer needs to accommodate some system overheads, meaning the maximum theoretical bandwidth available for customers will be 432kbps2. As has been said previously, many factors will influence the achieved bit rate experienced by customers.

 

The FleetBroadband system supports the remote access of a FleetBroadband UT (with a fixed or static IP address) and remote activation of a data session, even when the narrow spot beam where it is located is ‘dark’ or inactive.

 

2.2.1           PDP Contexts (see figure 3)

 

The UTs support multiple PDP (Packet Data Protocol) contexts, some primary and some secondary. Multiple PDP contexts support effective use in multiple user environments where the connectivity through the UT is shared.

 

An access device, usually a server, can allocate secondary PDP contexts. These PDP contexts can be associated with specific applications running across the connection.  This can create a multi-tasking IP environment optimised for specific applications.

* TFT- traffic Flow template

 

2.2.2           Standard (Background class IP)

 

Background class IP data offers users access to the shared, contended IP 432kbps3 channel (see example above). There are no guarantees associated with the service other than the FleetBroadband contention ratio. If the link is ‘busy’, with many active users then the observed bit rate will be lower than if the link is ‘quiet’ with little traffic. This standard service will suit most office type applications, internet access, file transfer, email, etc

 

2.2.3           Streaming (Streaming class IP – see Figure 4)

 

For customers who require a guaranteed bandwidth, (and hence un-contended connection), FleetBroadband offers a Streaming class IP service on Class 8 and 9 terminals only. The Streaming class is a high level IP Quality of Service (QoS) available over a 3G network. Simply, it offers a regular schedule of capacity over the IP link to an individual user. This capacity is not offered to other users effectively delivering reserved capacity for a single PDP context. Streaming is available on demand – if the network has the capacity then the user will access their reserved streaming bit rate. If it is not available the user can request a lower bit rate.

 

Streaming is very important for time critical data transmissions such as real time applications e.g. live video or audio. Further characteristics can be assigned to a Streaming IP link, including error correction and specific routing instructions. FleetBroadband offers Streaming class connections at 32kbps, 64kbps, 128kbps and 256kbps, depending on UT Class, link conditions, available capacity and elevation to Satellite. The reserved capacity will be delivered in both the forward and return direction. A streaming connection will follow a per minute tariff structure.

Figure 4 – Use of shared access bearer

 

2.2.4           TCP/PEP

 

The maximum theoretical user data rate of up to 432kbps4 is based on the presence of enhancement software (TCP/PEP) being installed at both ends - the origin and destination - of the connection. In real terms this would see a software component installed on the user’s server (client) and on the destination server on to which the connection is being made (i.e. in the DP, service provider or ground customer domain). This will ensure that uplink (from the UT) traffic is accelerated and downlink (to the UT) traffic is accelerated. If the software is only present at one end of the connection, say the UT, then only traffic sent from the UT will be accelerated. Downloads to the UT would not be accelerated.

 

In circumstances where the customer has this TCP/PEP installed, Inmarsat expects that users will observe, depending on network usage, file size and UT, improvements with DOS FTP of between 27% and 344%.

 

Inmarsat will make available the client component of the TCP/PEP to Service Providers. The Corporate Server component of the TCP/PEP will need to be installed onto a corporate network. This will be important for customers looking to accelerate traffic over a VPN connection from their office LAN. The TCP/PEP should be installed on a server which can be connected to the corporate network. Such an installation will require technical assistance, support and possibly an ongoing maintenance contract. Inmarsat envisage that this service will be offered by FleetBroadband service providers as a value added service.

2.3              Circuit-Switched Services

 

2.3.1           Circuit-Switched Data Services – ISDN (see figure 5)

 

The FleetBroadband network will support mobile-originated and mobile-terminated ISDN circuit-switched data calls at 64kbps.   Both UDI and RDI are supported.

 

Figure 5 - Example ISDN Connectivity via FleetBroadband

 

The FleetBroadband Service will provide one 64kbps ‘B Channel’ per UT. It will not be possible to operate other circuit-switched services (i.e. making a voice call) at the same time as using ISDN. A user may run simultaneous ISDN and IP sessions however5.

 

As with Inmarsat Fleet ISDN, two or more ISDN connections from multiple channel UTs may be bonded together (outside Inmarsat domain) to deliver multiple 64kbps sessions – 128k, 256k etc.

 

2.3.2           Circuit-Switched Data Services – 3.1kHz Audio2

 

To provide a capability to support legacy modem and facsimile users, FleetBroadband offers a service to carry PCM coded 3.1kHz audio via a 64kbps transparent bearer.  Via this service a user could, for example, make and receive legacy modem and facsimile calls or speech calls requiring PCM coding to and from the terrestrial PSTN or ISDN.  This service could also be used to support encrypted voice.

 

	
5 Class 8 only; performance is dependent on additional factors including bearer duty cycle and antenna elevation angle.

  

	
6 Service not supported below 20 degrees elevation on Class 9 (“FB250”), and is completely unsupported on Class 14.

Network Services Distribution Agreement

Annex 1 (FleetBroadband)

Version 2.0, effective from 26 January 2009

 

This service would be provided at the UT typically via an analogue telephone socket or ISDN connection (where supported).  Modem/facsimile performance may be impaired because of Satellite delay causing the modems to renegotiate transmission to reduced data rates.

 

2.3.3           Circuit-Switched Voice Services (4kbps)

 

FleetBroadband offers a voice telephony service using a compression technology (the AMBE+2 codec from DVSI) delivering voice over a low 4kbps rate. This makes efficient use of Satellite capacity whilst delivering good speech quality.

 

It is possible to make a circuit-switched voice call whilst simultaneously using IP data services. At this time, the system is not able to support multiple, simultaneous circuit-switched voice calls.

 

As with IP data sessions, an active FleetBroadband UT receives calls even when the narrow spot beam where it located is inactive or ‘dark’ from a system perspective.

 

2.4              Messaging and Additional Services

 

2.4.1           SMS Messaging

 

The BGAN network has an in-built SMS messaging application with a full range of messaging features.

 

The SMS message format follows standard 160 character structure. FleetBroadband does not support concatenated SMS.

 

The BGAN system has an SMSC.

 

It is noted that the availability of SMS messaging to users will depend on the ability of the UT to support such messaging.  In particular a suitable interface is required from the UT and there are issues on how to implement such a service on the vessel since SMS messaging in 2G/3G is designed for a ‘single handset user’ rather than a number of users.  It is further noted that SMS messaging on a vessel could be supported as an application running on e.g. the Packet Switched service (i.e. the SMS application would be outside Inmarsat domain).

 

2.4.2           Additional Services

 

As the FleetBroadband network is effectively a 3G network, Inmarsat can offer customers some of the extra features associated with such systems.

 

There are a number of different service settings that can be activated or deactivated by a server, or via other fixed UT control function. These are services offered by most cellular networks, frequently used by business users and their availability further underlines FleetBroadband as an extension to these networks. The supplementary services FleetBroadband will support are listed in Table 1:

The BGAN network supports all of these features (and allows some to be disabled upon service activation should the customer request this). The availability of these services to the users depends on the UT functionality.

 

3.                 FLEETBROADBAND USER TERMINALS

 

3.1               Introduction

 

Customers will have a choice of different FleetBroadband UTs, which will deliver a varying range of maritime Satellite communication capabilities and services to suit the differing needs of new and existing providers, in all segments of the maritime market.

 

There are three UT types defined and Type Approved for the FleetBroadband service. They are referred to as Class 8 (High Gain Antenna “FB500”), Class 9 (Low Gain Antenna “FB250”) and Class 14 (Low Gain Antenna "FB150") UTs. Detailed technical performance and specification requirements are defined in the BGAN System Definition Documents (SDM).  The key difference between Class 8 and Class 9 is the antenna – some manufacturers offer equipment that can be configured to be either Class 8 or Class 9 depending on the antenna connected.

 

In all cases, the term UE (User Equipment) refers to a logical unit comprising of:

 

Terminal Equipment (TE): Customer device that represents the interface through which the user accesses the Satellite services (e.g. laptop computer, PDA, PC, etc which may be connected to the UT via a server.).

 

User Terminal (UT): Radio terminal used for communication over the Satellite interface including the High Power Amplifier function and antenna.  The UT contains a UMTS Subscriber Identity Module (USIM)7 smart card that holds the subscriber identity, performs authentication algorithms, stores authentication/encryption keys and maintains UT profile information needed at the UT to allow service to be established.

 

3.2              Class 8, 9 and 14 User Terminal

 

This section outlines the characteristics of the Class 8, 9 and 14 UT. The Class 8 UT will support a High Gain Antenna and Class 9 and 14 UT will support a Low Gain Antenna.

 

Where a manufacturer supports a service then all functions required to support that service must be implemented.

 

Inmarsat does not define the user interfaces to the UT equipment but instead defines (1) the air interface at the output of the UTs antenna, (2) the functions of the UT and (3) the performance of the UT.  The definition of user interfaces is determined by the manufacturers but typically includes Ethernet and ISDN.  Voice can be provided via a number of different interfaces including 2-wire analogue, 4-wire analogue and via digital interfaces.

 

	
7 Sometimes the USIM is considered separate to the UT.

Version 2.0, effective from 26 January 2009

 

4.                SIM CARDS AND NUMBERING

 

4.1              SIM Cards

 

Inmarsat will technically and functionally specify FleetBroadband SIM cards. This specification will cover encryption algorithm, security settings, menu structure and any other information required to drive FleetBroadband services.

 

As with Inmarsat SwiftBroadband service, the SIM card for FleetBroadband will be a ‘generic’ with no DP specific customisation permitted; this is to ensure lengthy communications outages are not caused by physical SIM switching. The DP is allocated to the SIM at the point of activation of the UT.

 

Inmarsat has appointed Gemalto (formerly Axalto) as sole SIM supplier for FleetBroadband launch. Inmarsat has established competitive SIM pricing based on manageable and reasonable volumes.

 

Inmarsat SIMs will be ordered directly [by the DP] from the SIM card manufacturer by the UT manufacturers.

 

4.2              Numbering

 

4.2.1           IMSI

 

Inmarsat only supports one IMSI per SIM

 

4.2.2           MS-ISDN

 

Inmarsat plan to allocate MS-ISDN as per the services provisioned on the SIM card.

 

	
  

	
●

	
Voice and IP Data - 0870 77 3

 

	
  

	
●

	
ISDN will be allocated if requested - 0870 78 3

 

Inmarsat do not plan to assign number ranges to Distribution Partners.

 

The Quarantine Period for MSISDN before being reallocated to another user will be sixty (60) days.

 

4.2.3           Golden Numbers

 

Some Golden numbers may be reserved and used for promotional purposes. Inmarsat will select these. Inmarsat currently has no intention of offering them for sale.

 

5.                 I-4 COVERAGE

 

The 2 Ocean Region coverage provided prior to 7 Jan 2007 for FleetBroadband over the I-4 constellation is displayed below in Figure 7 (with small spot beams).

Inmarsat logo: partner guidelines | July 07

 

Introduction

	  	  	  
	
Dear Partners,

	
  

	
	
 

As part of the review of Inmarsat’s brand strategy, we have discontinued the use of the Via Inmarsat logos (including Via Inmarsat BGAN). You are now able to use the Inmarsat logo to co-brand your marketing materials that you have designed yourselves. The goal is to simplify the approach, remove any confusion as to which logo to use and unify our marketing efforts behind the master Inmarsat brand.

	
  

	
 

New Trademark License Agreement

	
  

	
 

In order to use the Inmarsat logo, you will need to sign a new Trademark License Agreement (TMLA). You can download the TMLA from the Connect area of the Inmarsat web site. You will need to sign and return it and will then receive a copy of the Inmarsat logo.

	
  

	
 

Logo guidelines

	
  

	
 

We have developed these guidelines on how you can use the Inmarsat logo. We would appreciate your strict adherence. If you have any questions regarding the use of the Inmarsat logo or would like us to review a draft of your materials incorporating the Inmarsat logo, please contact David Klar, Manager, Channel Marketing on +44 (0)20 7728 1705 or email: david_klar@inmarsat.com

 

	
  

	
We appreciate that you may have existing stocks of marketing materials with the Via Inmarsat logo. You may continue to use these, but when you produce new co-branded marketing materials, we kindly request that you use the Inmarsat logo and NOT the Via Inmarsat logo.

	
  

	
 

Co-branding

	
  

	
 

You may use the Inmarsat logo to co-brand your own marketing and sales materials. In addition, we would be pleased to co-brand our Inmarsat marketing materials with your logo and the Inmarsat logo. For Inmarsat co-branded materials, please contact Clare Butler, Marketing Communications Manager on +44 (0)20 7728 1376 or email: clare_butler@inmarsat.com

The Inmarsat logo

	  	  	 
	
The Inmarsat logo is the focal point of the Inmarsat brand identity. It comprises 2 elements: the logotype and the specially drawn ‘symbol’, which cannot be separated – they both form part of the logo. There are different versions of the Inmarsat logo (colour, black and white) to suit different applications as shown later in this document.

Logo colourways

 

The Inmarsat logo can be reproduced in a number of different ways. Use the following as a guide for selecting which colour Inmarsat logo to use for your application. Your choice should depend on the colour and complexity of the background you are placing the logo on, the medium you are using and also the colour of your own logo. Where possible, choose a version of the Inmarsat logo that complements your own logo.

Clear space

	  	  	
  

	
Logo minimum sizes

	  	  	  
	
To ensure sufficient standout, it is important to leave adequate clear space around the Inmarsat logo. The Inmarsat logo requires a minimum clear space around it as shown by the cyan gridlines. This is based on the x-height of the word mark. Neither your logo nor any other image/graphic/text should encroach on this clear space around the Inmarsat logo.

	  	  	
  

	
To ensure legibility and accurate reproduction of the Inmarsat logo, there is a minimum size, which should be adhered to. The minimum size for standard print applications is 25mm wide. The Inmarsat logo should NOT be used any smaller than this. With certain applications such as small promotional items eg. memory sticks, black and white versions of the logo can be used as small as 13mm, although larger is preferred.

 

If the logo has to be small, please ensure that it is legible.

Relationship to partner logo

 

	 	
  

	
Relative proportions

 

When you use the Inmarsat logo in marketing materials that you have designed yourself, it is important that:

 

•        The Inmarsat logo should appear approximately 3/4 the size of your logo

 

•        The Inmarsat logo should never be positioned so that it appears to be more prominent than your own logo

 

•        The Inmarsat logo should never appear in isolation i.e. without your logo

 

•        You always adhere to the Inmarsat logo minimum size and clear space rules when positioning your logo in proximity to the Inmarsat logo

 

Co-branding of Inmarsat materials

 

If you choose to have Inmarsat marketing materials co-branded with your logo, in most cases your logo will appear alongside the Inmarsat logo and equal in size.

Strapline

 

Your eligibility to use the Inmarsat logo in your marketing materials does NOT permit your use of the Broadband for a mobile planetTM strapline – unless it is in Inmarsat-designed co-branded materials.

 

The strapline is not part of the Inmarsat logo; it is a positioning statement associated with Inmarsat’s high-speed data products. It is trademarked for use by Inmarsat only.

Annex 8

Version 1

 

	
2.2

	
As a precondition to the Licensor authorising the Licensee to use the trade mark INMARSAT for the purposes of the Paris Convention on behalf of the Organization, the Licensee shall promptly (and in any event, within 7 days of the date hereof) execute and deliver to the Licensor as agent for the Organization a side letter in the form set out in Annex 3 (the “Side Letter”). The Licensee shall not be deemed to be authorised by the Licensor to use the trade mark INMARSAT as one of the Inmarsat Marks for the purposes of the Paris Convention, and the licence granted pursuant to Clause 2.1 above shall not be effective in so far as it relates to the trade mark INMARSAT as one of the Inmarsat Marks, until such time as the Side Letter has been received by the Licensor.

 

	
2.3

	
On request of the Licensee, the Licensor will grant to the Licensee’s Service Providers licenses of the Inmarsat Marks on terms substantially the same as the terms of this Agreement.

Any use by the Licensee of the Inmarsat Marks shall be in the form stipulated by the Licensor and the Licensee shall observe the directions given by the Licensor as to colours used and size of the Inmarsat Marks, as well as their manner, disposition and presentation in respect of the Services and any accompanying materials.

The use of the Inmarsat Marks by the Licensee shall at all times be in keeping with and seek to maintain their distinctiveness and reputation as determined by the Licensor, and the Licensee shall forthwith cease any use which is not consistent therewith as the Licensor may require. In particular, the Licensee shall not use the Inmarsat Marks in any way that would tend to allow them to become generic, lose their distinctiveness, become liable to mislead the public, or be materially detrimental to, or inconsistent with, the good name, goodwill and image of the Licensor or of the Organization.

 

	
3.4

	
The Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the exercise of the licence granted under this Agreement is subject to all applicable laws, enactments, regulations and other similar instruments in the Territory. The Licensee further understands and agrees that it shall at all times be solely liable and responsible for compliance with all such applicable laws, enactments, regulations and other similar instruments in the Territory with respect to advertising and promotion which make use of the Inmarsat Marks, or any of them.

The Licensee shall, subject to the payment by the Licensor of any reasonable expenses incurred thereby, render assistance to the Licensor, if required, in maintaining registered trade mark protection for the Inmarsat Marks and for the purpose of enabling Inmarsat (IP) Company Limited and the Organization to register in the Territory any or all of the Inmarsat Marks and for the purpose of applying for the same on behalf of Inmarsat (IP) Company Limited or the Organization.

6.2

	
The Licensor, at its sole discretion, shall take whatever action it considers necessary in relation to any actual or suspected infringement or unauthorised use.

Infringement Action Against the Licensee

 

	
7.1

	
The Licensee acknowledges that the Licensor has neither registered nor applied to register the Inmarsat Marks in the Unregistered Territory and has not undertaken searches in respect of each trade mark constituting the Inmarsat Marks to establish whether any party has registered or makes use of the same in the Unregistered Territory.

 

	
7.2

	
If the Licensee is or becomes aware of any registered or unregistered trade marks in the Unregistered Territory at the commencement of, or during, the term of this Agreement that conflict with the Inmarsat Marks, the Licensee shall promptly notify the Licensor in writing of such trade mark(s).

 

	
7.3

	
If legal action is commenced or threatened against the Licensee as a result of its authorised use of the Inmarsat Marks, the Licensee shall also promptly notify the Licensor in writing.

 

	
7.4

	
Upon receipt of written notice of any legal action related to any claim, suit or demand made against the Licensee for its use of the Inmarsat Marks in the Territory in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Licensor, at its sole discretion and expense, shall take whatever steps it deems necessary to protect and defend the Licensee against such claim, suit or demand or address the claim of the third party in accordance with Clause 7.5 below. The Licensee shall have no authority to settle or compromise any such claim and the Licensor shall enjoy any recovery or settlement awarded or otherwise received in respect of such claim. The Licensor shall have the authority to settle or compromise any such claim provided, however, that the consent of the Licensee shall be required if any settlement or compromise provides for non-monetary relief against the Licensee. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor shall be solely liable for any monetary damages resulting from or arising out of any claim, suit or demand made against the Licensee for its use of the Inmarsat Marks in the Territory in accordance with the terms of this Agreement where the Licensee is required under the terms of the NSDA to use the Inmarsat Marks in connection with the Services, provided that the Licensor has received notice of such claim from the Licensee.

 

	
7.5

	
Where a claim is made for an alleged infringement arising from use of the Inmarsat Marks in an Unregistered Territory, the Licensor shall use all reasonable endeavours to negotiate a licence or other agreement with the claimant to resolve the alleged infringement if necessary. The Licensee acknowledges that if the Licensor is unable to negotiate a licence or to otherwise resolve the alleged infringement, the Licensee may be required to cease use of the Inmarsat Marks in the Unregistered Territory. Where, in order for the Licensee to continue using the Inmarsat Marks, a licence fee is levied by a third party in settlement of any alleged infringement, the Licensee may elect to either pay such licence fee or to cease to use the Inmarsat Marks in the relevant Unregistered Territory.

© Inmarsat Global Limited 2009First Amendment to Lease

 Exhibit 10.1 
 FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE 
 This FIRST AMENDMENT
TO LEASE (“Amendment”) is made and entered into effective for all purposes as of March 11, 2010 (the “Effective Date”), by and between TARRANT COUNTY COLLEGE DISTRICT, a political subdivision of the State of
Texas (“Landlord”), and RADIOSHACK CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”). 
 RECITALS: 
 A. Landlord and Tenant did heretofore make and enter into that certain Amended and Restated Lease
dated effective as of June 25, 2008 (the “Lease”), which Lease sets forth the terms and conditions of the lease and demise by Landlord to Tenant of certain Premises as described and defined in the Lease. 
 B. Tenant and Landlord have agreed that the Lease be amended for the purpose of giving Tenant the option to extend the applicable Lease term
with regard to the Clear Fork Building (as such term is defined in the Lease) and the West Fork Building (as such term is defined in the Lease), upon and subject to the terms, limitations and conditions more particularly described hereinbelow, and
Landlord and Tenant have additionally agreed to certain other modifications of the Lease as described hereinbelow, all upon and subject to the terms, limitations and conditions set forth in this Amendment. The following needs of Tenant and Landlord
are being met by this Amendment: Tenant has been considering whether to move its operations to a new location. If it moved, Tenant anticipates that it would not need more than 150,000 square feet of Class A/B space and not more than 100,000 square
feet of space for back office and shared services operations, a total of 250,000 square feet. Tenant believes that it could secure such space at a full service rate of $26.00 per square foot for Class A/B space and $13.00 per square foot for back
office and shared services personnel. Tenant has requested that Landlord consider the lease extension as to the West Fork Building and Clear Fork Building, contained in this Amendment, in which both buildings would be fully leased to Tenant but
Tenant would not pay in excess of the square footage mentioned in this recital because that is all the space Tenant anticipates it needs if it moved to a new location. Landlord believes it can accommodate Tenant’s request and modify its future
operational needs so that it will not need the West Fork Building or Clear Fork Building prior to the end of the additional five year term set out in this Amendment and is willing to make these adjustments so that Tenant is able to continue leasing
the Premises through the contemplated extended term on the West Fork Building and the Clear Fork Building and is willing to only require rent payment at the rates and for the square footage needs that Tenant has determined. Accordingly, Tenant will
not be charged Basic Rent (or any Additional Rent that is determined or allocated on a square footage basis) for the lease of the West Fork Building and the Clear Fork Building on the square footage contained within those buildings in excess of the
square footage identified in this Recital. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Premises were acquired by Landlord for public purpose, and specifically, to serve as a part of Landlord’s Trinity River Campus. The Trinity River Campus,
including the Premises, is held and dedicated for the support, maintenance, and benefit of Landlord and its educational purposes. The Premises are, and shall remain, an integral part of Landlord’s strategic plan to convert the entire Premises
to an educational facility, when Tenant exits the Premises. Landlord and Tenant further acknowledge that Tenant’s use of the Premises, as well as any eventual rent payments, shall serve Landlord’s public purpose, by conserving
Landlord’s public funds, and allows the Premises to be put to a productive use, pending Landlord’s conversion of the entire Premises to an educational facility. 
  

 FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE – Page 1 

 C. Landlord and Tenant accordingly desire to amend the Lease upon the terms and provisions
hereinafter set forth. 
 AGREEMENT: 
 For and in consideration of the above and foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth hereinbelow, together with other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which consideration is hereby acknowledged by each of the parties hereto, Landlord and Tenant do hereby agree that the Lease shall be and is hereby amended as follows: 
 1. Defined Terms. Terms defined in the Lease and delineated in this Amendment by initial capital letters shall have the same meanings ascribed thereto in the Lease, except to the extent that the
meaning of any such term is specifically modified by the provisions of this Amendment. In addition, terms not defined in the Lease but defined herein will, when delineated with initial capital letters, have the meanings ascribed thereto in this
Amendment. Terms and phrases which are not delineated in this Amendment by initial capital letters shall have the meanings commonly ascribed thereto. In that regard, the above and foregoing premises and recitals are incorporated in this Amendment
and made a part hereof for all purposes, including incorporation of the definitions contained therein. 
 2. Tax
Abatements. Subparagraph 2(b) of the Lease is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows: 
 (b)
During the Term, Tenant shall retain all economic development incentives including, but not limited to, economic development grants and property tax abatements and reimbursements previously or at any time granted to Tenant by the City of Fort Worth,
the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Six, City of Fort Worth, Texas, or any other Governmental Authority (collectively, “Incentives”); provided, however, that if during any portion of the Interim Term or the Primary Term or
with respect to the Clear Fork Building and the West Fork Building, any Extended Term, any Taxes are assessed on all or any portion of the Premises, all such Incentives that provide any property tax abatements with respect to the Premises
(‘Tax Abatements”) shall be assigned by Tenant to Landlord (if assignment is permitted by the terms thereof), without further consideration, so that Landlord will have the full benefit of the Tax Abatements for the period covered by
the Interim Term and the Primary Term and, with respect to the Clear Fork Building and the West Fork Building, any Extended Term; provided, further, Landlord will reassign the Tax Abatements with respect to the Control Center and the Data Center to
Tenant during any Extended Term upon Tenant’s request. 
  

 FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE – Page 2 

 3. Term. Paragraph 4 of the Lease is hereby amended to read in its entirety as
follows: 
 4. Term. 
 Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Tenant shall have and hold the Premises for an interim term (herein called the “Interim Term”) commencing on the date hereof and continuing
until the last day of the calendar month in which the date hereof occurs (provided that if the Lease commences on the first day of a calendar month there shall be no Interim Term) and a primary term (herein called the “Primary
Term”) commencing on the first day of the first calendar month following the date hereof (except if this Lease commences on the first day of a calendar month, the Primary Term shall commence on said first day) and continuing for three
(3) years for all of the Premises. Tenant shall have the option to extend this Lease for one term of five (5) years for each of the Clear Fork Building and the West Fork Building, unless this Lease shall expire or be sooner terminated
pursuant to the terms hereof. Tenant may exercise this five (5) year option as to one or more of the Clear Fork Building and the West Fork Building. In addition, Tenant shall have the option to extend this Lease for one term of two
(2) years for each of the Control Center and the Data Center, unless this Lease shall expire or be sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. Tenant may exercise this two (2) year option as to one or more of the Control Center and the
Data Center. If Tenant exercises the two (2) year option as to the Control Center and the Data Center, Tenant thereafter shall have the option to extend this Lease for up to three (3) consecutive terms of five (5) years each for the
Control Center and the Data Center, unless this Lease shall expire or be sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. Each such extension is herein individually called an “Extended Term” and, together with the Interim Term, if
any, and the Primary Term, called the “Term.” In the event Tenant elects to extend the Term for an Extended Term, Tenant shall give a written notice to Landlord (an “Extension Notice”) no later than six
(6) months prior to the then-scheduled expiration of the Term, which notice shall designate those portions of the Premises (as described in Paragraph 1) as to which the Extended Term will cover. Upon the giving of an Extension Notice, the Term
shall be automatically extended for such Extended Term as to the portion of the Premises designated in the Extension Notice on the terms and conditions provided in this Lease, except that Tenant shall have no further option to extend the Term beyond
said (i) one (1) term of five (5) years for the Clear Fork Building and the West Fork Building and (ii) three (3) consecutive terms of five (5) years each for the Control Center and the Data Center (assuming Tenant
exercises its initial option to extend for two (2) years with respect to the Control Center and the Data Center). Upon the request of Landlord or Tenant, the parties hereto will execute and exchange an instrument in recordable form setting
forth any extension of the Term in accordance with this Paragraph 4. If (i) an Event of Default shall exist as of the giving of the Extension Notice and such Event of Default remains uncured thirty (30) days after the giving of the
Extension Notice or (ii) Tenant does not timely give an Extension Notice in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 4, then, unless Landlord and Tenant otherwise agree in writing, Tenant shall thereafter have no right to extend the
Term for the subject or any succeeding Extended Term. 
  

 FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE – Page 3 

 4. Taxes. Subparagraph 7(a) of the Lease is hereby amended to read in its entirety as
follows: 
 (a) Tenant bears no responsibility for Taxes assessed on any portion of the Premises during the
Primary Term, and bears no responsibility for Taxes assessed on the Clear Fork Building and the West Fork Building during the Extended Term. If Tenant exercises any extension option under Paragraph 4 as to the Control Center and/or the Data Center
and subject to Paragraphs 16 and 43 below, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all Taxes (as defined in Subparagraph 31(c)), if any, assessed against the Control Center and/or the Data Center during any Extended Term, but only to the extent such
Taxes are proportionately allocated to that portion of the Extended Term included within the tax year for which such Taxes are assessed. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subparagraph 7(a), Tenant shall not be required to pay any
franchise, business margin, severance, corporate, estate, inheritance, succession, net income or excess profits taxes of Landlord hereunder. Taxes shall be prorated from the Rent Commencement Date through the end of the Term. 
 5. Tax Abatements. Subparagraph 7(c) of the Lease is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows: 
 (c) Landlord agrees, to the extent reasonably necessary for Tenant to continue to prosecute any tax abatement proceedings or
to obtain any economic development grants and/or tax incentives granted to Tenant by any Governmental Authority, to reasonably cooperate with Tenant, at no cost to Landlord, and also agrees to promptly endorse or pay over to Tenant any such
abatement amounts, grants and/or incentives received by Landlord for any years prior to the Amendment Date or falling within the Term; provided, however, Landlord shall have the full and exclusive benefit of all Tax Abatements attributable to the
Interim Term, the Primary Term and/or, with respect to the Clear Fork Building and the West Fork Building, any Extended Term or any part thereof. 
 6. Basic Rent. Exhibit 5 of the Lease is hereby amended to read in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit 5 attached hereto. 
  

 FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE – Page 4 

 7. Termination Option. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this paragraph, Tenant may at any time and from time to time during the Primary Term and during the first twelve (12) months of the first Extended Term terminate the Lease as to any one or more of the Clear Fork Building, the West
Fork Building, the Control Center, and/or the Data Center, in each case by written notice to Landlord specifying the portion of the Premises (i.e., all of the Clear Fork Building, all of the West Fork Building, all of the Control Center,
and/or all of the Data Center) with respect to which Tenant has elected to terminate the Lease. Further, if Tenant has exercised the option to extend the term of the Lease as to both the Clear Fork Building and the West Fork Building, following the
twelfth (12th) month of the Extended Term as
to the West Fork Building and the Clear Fork Building, Tenant may at any time or from time to time during such portion of the Extended Term terminate the Lease as to one (but not both) of the Clear Fork Building or the West Fork Building by
written notice to Landlord specifying the portion of the Premises (i.e., all of the Clear Fork Building or all of the West Fork Building) with respect to which Tenant has elected to terminate the Lease. The effective date of any such
termination shall be six (6) months after Landlord’s receipt of such written notice of termination from Tenant, subject to Tenant’s compliance with the provisions of this paragraph. If Tenant properly and timely elects to terminate
the Lease as to any one or more of the Clear Fork Building, the West Fork Building, the Control Center and/or the Data Center, such termination shall be effective only if Tenant shall (a) have paid all Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other sums
owing by Tenant to Landlord through the effective date of such termination, and (b) not be in default under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Lease as of the date of Landlord’s receipt of such notice of termination or as of
the effective date of such termination. Any such termination shall be effective only as to all (but not part) of the particular component of the Premises with respect to which Tenant desires to terminate the Lease (e.g., if Tenant desires to
terminate the Lease as to the West Fork Building, any such termination shall be effective only as to all (but not part) of the West Fork Building). Following such termination and payment by Tenant to Landlord of any sums owing by Tenant to Landlord,
neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any obligations to the other with respect to the portion of the Premises with respect to which the Lease has been terminated except those obligations of Landlord and Tenant under the Lease through the effective
date of such termination and those obligations which survive the expiration or termination of the Lease as specified in the Lease. In the event that Tenant fails to properly and timely comply with the provisions of this paragraph entitling Tenant to
terminate the Lease as to any one or more of the Clear Fork Building, the West Fork Building, the Control Center and/or the Data Center, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived Tenant’s right to terminate the Lease pursuant to this paragraph and
the Lease shall continue in full force and effect. 
 8. Governmental Incentives. Tenant’s obligations under this
Amendment are contingent upon Tenant obtaining such approvals and incentives in connection with its use and occupancy of the Premises and other uses permitted under this Lease as are satisfactory in form and substance to Tenant in its sole
discretion (collectively, the “Approvals”), including, governmental and quasi-governmental incentives of any type received directly or indirectly from any federal, state or local unit of government. It is the intent of Landlord and Tenant
that 100% of the benefit of any such Approvals inure to the benefit of Tenant; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will have the full benefit of the Tax Abatements to the extent provided in subparagraphs 2(b) and 7(c) of
the Lease as amended hereby. Unless agreed otherwise in writing by Landlord and Tenant, if Tenant does not obtain any one or more of the Approvals on or before [April 30, 2010], Tenant shall have the right, at its sole option, to terminate this
Amendment by giving notice to Landlord on or before [May 31, 2010], in which event this Amendment shall be of no further force or effect, ad initio. Absent such notice, this Amendment shall remain in full force and effect. 
  

 FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE – Page 5 

 9. Prohibited Persons and Transactions. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord
that Tenant is currently in compliance with and shall at all times during the Term of the Lease (including any renewal or extension thereof and including the Extended Term with regard to any of the Premises) remain in compliance with the regulations
of the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) of the Department of Treasury (including those named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons List) and any statute, executive order (including the September 24,
2001 Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism) or other governmental action relating thereto. 
 10. Notice Addresses. The addresses for notices to Landlord, as set forth in Paragraph 19 of the Lease, shall be and are hereby
deleted and the following shall be and are hereby substituted in lieu thereof: 
 If to Landlord: 
 Tarrant County College District

 11. Brokers. Tenant hereby represents and warrants that it has not dealt with

continue to govern the rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the matters that are the subject of the Lease; and all provisions and covenants of the Lease are and shall remain in full force and effect as stated therein, except
to the extent specifically amended by the provisions of this Amendment. The Lease and this Amendment shall be construed as one instrument. In that regard, the Lease and this Amendment, including all exhibits and addenda to each such document,
constitute the entire agreement between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings of Landlord and Tenant in connection therewith. Captions and headings

other genders, and words importing a singular number shall mean and include the plural number and vice versa. All references in this Amendment to numbered sections, articles and/or paragraphs are references to the sections, articles and/or
paragraphs hereof, unless otherwise expressly designated in context. No inference in favor of or against any party shall be drawn from the fact that such party has drafted any provision of this Amendment or that such provisions have been drafted on
behalf of said party. 
 15. Multiple Counterparts. To facilitate execution hereof, this Amendment may be executed in one
or more counterparts as may be convenient or required, and an executed copy of this Amendment delivered by facsimile or electronic mail transmittal shall have the effect of an original, executed instrument. All counterparts of this Amendment shall
collectively constitute a single instrument; but, in making proof of this Amendment, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart. It shall not be necessary for the signature of, or on behalf of, each party to
this Amendment, or that the signature of all persons required to bind any such party, appear on each counterpart of this Amendment. Each signature page to any counterpart of this Amendment may be detached from such counterpart without impairing the
