Exterior Signage Subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and provided all signs are in keeping with the quality, design and style of the Building and Project, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, may install (i) identification signage on the existing monument sign located on the exterior of the Building, (ii) at the entrance to the Building and (iii) internal directional and lobby identification signage (collectively, “Tenant Signage”); provided, however, in no event shall Tenant’s Signage include an “Objectionable Name,” as that term is defined in Section 23.3, of this Lease. All such signage shall be subject to Tenant’s obtaining all required governmental approvals. All permitted signs shall be maintained by Tenant at its expense in a first-class and safe condition and appearance. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all of its signs at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. The graphics, materials, color, design, lettering, lighting, size, illumination, specifications and exact location of Tenant’s Signage (collectively, the “Sign Specifications”) shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and shall be consistent and compatible with the quality and nature of the Project. Tenant hereby acknowledges that, notwithstanding Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s Signage, Landlord has made no representation or warranty to Tenant with respect to the probability of obtaining all necessary governmental approvals and permits for Tenant’s Signage. In the event Tenant does not receive the necessary governmental approvals and permits for Tenant’s Signage, Tenant’s and Landlord’s rights and obligations under the remaining TCCs of this Lease shall be unaffected. Except as required by applicable law, Landlord shall not install any other signage on the Building. If Landlord elects to install a multi-tenant identification sign at the entrance to the Project, Tenant shall be entitled to install its name on such sign (subject to availability on a pro-rata basis based on the relative square footages leased by the tenants of the Project), at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
Signage Landlord retains absolute control over the exterior appearance of the Building and the Project, and the exterior appearance of the Premises as viewed from the Common Areas. Tenant will not install, or permit to be installed, any drapes, furnishings, signs, lettering, designs, advertising or any items that will in any way alter the exterior appearance of the Building, the Project or the exterior appearance of the Premises as viewed from the Common Areas. Any sign, advertising, design, or lettering installed by Tenant shall be considered an Alteration and shall be subject to the provisions of Article 15; provided that Landlord shall have the right to withhold its consent to the same in its sole and absolute discretion. All signage rights granted to Tenant under this Lease are personal, and may not be assigned or transferred without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. Tenant may (a) require Landlord to install, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense (as to Tenant’s initial signage, and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense thereafter): (i) Building Standard signage in the directory (if any) located in the ground floor lobby of the Building, and (ii) identification signage of the type prescribed by Landlord’s signage program identifying Tenant by its business name in a location within the Common Areas on the floor of the Building on which the Premises is located as is called for by Landlord’s signage program. Tenant may, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, place in any portion of the inside of the Premises not visible from the exterior of the Building or from outside of the Premises such identification signage as Tenant shall desire. All signage described in this paragraph (other than the directory signage described in clause (a), above) shall be treated as Tenant’s Personal Property with respect to Tenant’s obligation to remove the same at the expiration or early termination of this Lease.
