In such event, this Lease shall be void and each party shall return any copies executed by the other.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall bear the sole risk of any loss of or damage to its Trade Fixtures or other personal property of Tenant. Each party agrees that such insurance carried by either of them shall contain a clause whereby the insurance company waives its right of subrogation against the other party. Because the provisions of this Section are intended to preclude the assignment of any claim mentioned herein by way of subrogation or otherwise to an insurance company or any other person, each party to this Lease shall give to each insurance company which has issued to it one or more policies of fire and extended coverage insurance notice of the provisions of this Section and have such insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of such insurance by reason of the provisions of this Section.

Ohio law permits a real estate agent and brokerage to represent both the seller and buyer in a real estate transaction as long as this is disclosed to both parties and they both agree. This is known as dual agency. As a dual agent, a real estate agent and brokerage represent two clients whose interests are, or at times could be, different or adverse. I” or this reason, the dual agent(s) may not be able to advocate on behalf of the client to the same extent the agent may have if the agent represented only one client

•      Treat both clients honestly;

•      Disclose latent (not readily observable) material defects to the purchaser, if known by the agent(s) or brokerage;

•      Provide information regarding lenders, inspectors and other professionals, if requested;

•      Provide market information available from a property listing service or public records, if requested;

•      Prepare and present all offers and counteroffers at the direction of the parties;

•      Assist both parties in completing the steps necessary to fulfill the terms of any contract, if requested.

•

Disclose information that is confidential, or that would have an adverse effect on one party’s position in the transaction, unless such disclosure is authorized by the client or required by law;

•

Advocate or negotiate on behalf of either the buyer or seller.

•

Suggest or recommend specific terms, including price, or disclose tl1e terms or price a buyer is willing to offer or that a seller is willing to accept;

•

Engage in conduct that is contrary to the instructions of eitl1er party and may not act in a biased manner on behalf of one party.

Compensation: Unless agreed otherwise, the brokerage will be compensated per the agency agreement

Management Level Licensees: Generally the broker and managers in a brokerage also represent the interests of any buyer or seller represented by an agent affiliated with that brokerage. Therefore, if both buyer and seller are represented by agents in the same brokerage, the broker and manager are dual agents. There are two exceptions to this. The first is where the broker or manager is personally representing one of the parties. The second is where the broker or manager is selling or buying his own real estate. These exceptions only apply if there is another broker or manager to supervise the other agent involved in the transaction.

Responsibilities of the Parties: The duties of the agent and brokerage in a real estate transaction do not relieve the buyer and seller from tile responsibility to protect their own interests. The buyer and seller are advised to carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately express their understanding of the transaction. The agent and brokerage are qualified to advise on real estate matters. IF LEGAL OR TAX ADVICE IS DESIRED, YOU SHOULD CONSULT THE APPROPRIATE PROFESSIONAL

Consent: By signing on the reverse side, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this form and are giving your

voluntary, informed consent to the agency relationship disclosed. If you do not agree to the agent(s) and/or brokerage acting as a dual

agent, you are not required to consent to this agreement and you may either request a separate agent in the brokerage to be appointed

to represent your interests or you may terminate your agency relationship and obtain representation from another brokerage.

Any questions regarding the role or responsibilities of the brokerage or its agents should be directed to an attorney or to:
