Furthermore, Tenant acknowledges that the Premises are suitable for the permitted use.

 

2. Commencement Date. The Commencement Date of the Lease is November 19, 1999.

 

3. Expiration Date. The Term is scheduled to expire on the last day of the 120th full calendar month of the Term, which date is November 30, 2009.
