This Letter of Intent sets out our shared intentions but does not create a binding Lease. The intended relationship set out in this Letter of Intent shall be solely governed by a binding lease agreement in the Lessor’s standard form, but containing those terms and conditions set out in this Letter of Intent or as otherwise agreed between the parties. It is also implicit in this understanding that the intent of all the parties is to run a first class operation that can become an industry model for the best approach to carrying on a legal marijuana growing operation.
