Client and Venue are the only parties to this Agreement. There are no third-party beneficiaries.

18. Amendments/Changes: If this Agreement is returned signed but with changes, it shall not constitute an acceptance, but rather a counteroffer by Client that may be accepted or rejected by the Venue in our Venue’s

discretion. This Agreement will become a binding commitment upon signature by both Client and Venue (even if signed after the Option Period). Any amendments or changes to the Agreement includes all signed or unsigned event orders (and the terms and conditions contained therein and attached thereto) issued by Venue for this and related events. This Agreement, including all exhibits attached hereto (if any), upon signature by both parties below, constitutes the entire understanding between the parties and may not be amended or changed unless done so in writing and signed by Venue and Client. For purposes of this Agreement and any amendment or modification thereto, or for any other notice or communication between the parties, signatures sent or received by facsimile transmission will be considered as enforceable and valid as an original signature by the party signing. This effective date of communications between the parties will be determined as follows:

a) Communications sent via US Mail or private delivery services (i.e. Fed Ex) will be effective as of the date sent; orb) Communications sent via facsimile will be considered affective as of the date and time on the

facsimile confirmation sheet retained by the sender.
