Licensee and Licensee’s guests shall be entitled to use the NCS Box pursuant to the terms set forth in the NCS Box License and Ticket Agreement (“Agreement”). Access to the NCS Box shall be controlled by, and shall require the presentation by each person using the NCS Box of, an Admission Ticket thereto. Subject to any Public Health Regulations, Licensee shall have the right to enter the NCS Box one and one-half (1½) hours before the announced starting time for each Ballpark Event or consistent with the opening of the dedicated entrance to the Ballpark Facility for premium ticketholders, if different. Licensee shall vacate the NCS Box no later than one-half (½) hour after the conclusion of the Ballpark Event. Licensee and Licensee’s guests shall be bound by and shall observe the terms and conditions upon which Admission Tickets to the Ballpark Facility are issued by Manager, the Commissioner of Major League Baseball, or by the promoter of any Special Event entitled to issue such Admission Tickets, including, without limitation, the policy adopted by the issuer of such Admission Tickets with respect to the postponement of the Ballpark Event to which such Admission Tickets pertain.
Licensee/Guest Conduct; Compliance with Laws and Rules. Licensee and its guests shall at all times maintain proper decorum while using the NCS Box, and shall comply with all present and future laws, ordinances, orders, rules and regulations of all duly constituted governmental authorities. Licensee shall be responsible for informing its guests of these Rules and Regulations and all terms and conditions in the Agreement pertaining to Licensee and guest conduct. Licensee and its guests specifically acknowledge and agree to comply with the following statement of policy for fan conduct at each Event, as adopted by Manager on behalf of patrons accessing the Ballpark Facility generally, and in particular, the NCS Box:
Major League Baseball rules prohibit fans from entering the playing field, interfering with a ball in play, or negatively disrupting the game in any way. Those failing to comply will face immediate ejection from the Ballpark Facility and possible arrest. The Manager encourages fan participation, and hopes that Licensee and its guests enjoy the Event from the NCS Box, but caution that other fans, including children, are nearby. Foul, abusive, socially unacceptable language and other behavior deemed to be unacceptable fan conduct will subject Licensee and its guests to immediate ejection from the Baseball Facility and possible arrest. Licensee is responsible for each of its guests and/or the behavior of those utilizing their Admission Tickets for the NCS Box.
Manager also subscribes to a zero-tolerance, anti-harassment policy for its employees and guests. As such, Manager prohibits harassment that is based on race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation or other bases protected by local, state and federal law. Such harassment demeans Manager’s employees and guests, and undermines the safe, effective and efficient operation of Manager’s business. In accordance with this policy, Licensee and its guests agree to adhere to the anti-harassment commitment and to ensure that all employees and guests are treated with dignity and respect. To this end, any sexual, racial or harassing and discriminatory language, gestures, visual or physical conduct by Licensee and its guests are strictly prohibited.
In the event Licensee or any guest in the NCS Box create a disturbance, cause objects to be thrown or dropped from the NCS Box, interfere with other ticket-holders ability to enjoy the Event, violate these Rules and Regulations, violate any other Ballpark Facility policies, and/or adversely affect the health, safety or welfare of the players, Ballpark Facility personnel or other patrons or invitees at the Ballpark Facility, Manager shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to eject the parties responsible for such action from the confines of the Ballpark Facility, in addition to taking any other appropriate actions or remedies available, which shall include but shall not be limited to, revocation of admission ticket rights, and/or Ballpark Facility usage rights.

NCS Box Credit. Unless otherwise stated herein and subject to the terms set forth in Section 13 above, any eligible NCS Box credit will be determined by multiplying the NCS Box Fee by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Regular Season Games in the year during which the NCS Box was unavailable or unusable, or which were omitted, and the denominator of which is the number of Regular Season Games that were scheduled to have been played by the Cleveland Guardians at the Ballpark Facility during that year, provided, however, that this credit shall be allocated among all fractional licensees of the NCS Box (if applicable), in Manager’s discretion. All eligible credits will be computed after the conclusion of the Baseball Season. Any credits will be applied to the next installment of the NCS Box Fee payment due to Manager for the next year’s NCS Box Fee. If there is no invoice to apply this credit to, Licensee will have the option of applying credit to a renewal invoice or receiving a cash payment at the conclusion of the Baseball Season
