Such insurance policy shall be on an occurrence basis, name Landlord as an additional insured and provide that it may not be amended or canceled upon less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Landlord. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverages.

 

Section 11.3 -- Waiver of Subrogation. Subject to Section 11.1, each party hereby waives claims arising in any manner in its ("Injured Party's") favor and against the other party for loss or damage to the Injured Party's property located at or within or constituting a part or all of the Premises or the Complex regardless of the negligence of the parties. This waiver applies to the extent the loss or damage is covered by the Injured Party's insurance or the insurance the Injured Party is required to carry under this Article 11, whichever is greater. This waiver also applies to each party's directors, members, officers, employees, shareholders, members, partners and agents. Since this mutual waiver will preclude the assignment of any such claim by subrogation or otherwise to an insurance company, each party shall give to its insurance carrier written notice of the waiver of subrogation contained in this Section 11.3, and shall have its insurance policy properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of such policy by reason of such waiver of subrogation. For purposes of the foregoing waiver, the amount of any deductible applicable to any loss or damage shall be deemed covered by, and recoverable by the insured under, the applicable insurance policy.

 

ARTICLE 12 -- ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

 

Section 12.1 – Assignment and Subletting. Tenant shall not assign this Lease, sublet the Premises, or otherwise transfer any interest in this Lease or the Premises, or any part thereof, or permit the occupancy of all or any part of the Premises by any third party, whether by operation of law or in connection with a merger or consolidation or otherwise (individually and collectively, a “Transfer”), without in each case securing Landlord’s prior written consent. Any transfer of a 10% or greater ownership or voting interest in Tenant shall be deemed a Transfer and require Landlord's consent as set forth herein. Landlord's consent to any Transfer shall not be deemed a consent to any further Transfer, each of which shall require Landlord's consent as set forth herein. In no event shall any Transfer release Tenant from the faithful performance of its obligations under this Lease. Simultaneously with requesting Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord all relevant information concerning the transferee, including, without limitation, financial information, names, addresses, business experience, transaction summary and consideration to be paid. In addition, upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall promptly send to Landlord any additional information requested by Landlord. Any attempted Transfer in violation of this Article shall be null and void ab initio and of no force or effect, provided that Landlord may in all events, at its option, collect rent and other amounts from any actual or purported Transferee.

ARTICLE 13 -- DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

 

Section 13.1 -- Default by Tenant. If (i) Tenant fails to pay any portion of Rent within five (5) days after the same is due shall constitute a default under this Lease, or (ii) Tenant shall, after having been given not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of any other violation or breach of this Lease, violate or fail or neglect to keep and perform any of the covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained on the part of the Tenant to be kept and performed, then Tenant shall be in default under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall provide to Tenant not more than twice in any Lease year, written notice of any such monetary default, and Tenant shall have the right to cure such default within ten (10) days of Tenant’s receipt of such notice.

 

Section 13.2 -- Remedies of Landlord. If a default by Tenant has occurred beyond any applicable cure period as provided in Section 13.1, then Landlord may terminate this Lease, including Tenant's right of possession of the Premises and any other right afforded to Tenant under this Lease, at any time after the occurrence of Tenant's default, by giving to Tenant written notice of such termination, provided that Tenant shall remain liable for the amounts set forth herein notwithstanding such termination. If Landlord should so terminate this Lease, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of (i) Rent due up to the date of such termination, and (ii) the total Rent due for the remainder of the Lease Term, and (iii) any other charges due and payable to Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Lease.

 

Section 13.3 -- Limitations on Landlord's Liability. If Tenant provides Landlord with a written notice that Landlord is in default under this Lease, and Landlord does not cure such default within ten (10) days, and if Tenant should, as a consequence thereof, recover a money judgment against Landlord, then Tenant shall look solely to Landlord's right, title and interest in and to the Complex for the collection of such judgment, it being agreed that no other property of Landlord or its partners, members and shareholders shall be subject to levy under any attachment, execution, or other legal process for the satisfaction of Tenant's judgment, and that Landlord or its partners, members and shareholders shall not be personally liable for any deficiency.

 

Section 13.4 -- Non-Waiver of Defaults and Remedies. The failure or delay by either party, at any time after a default has occurred, to exercise or enforce any of the rights, remedies and obligations shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver of any such default, right, remedy or obligation or to affect the right of a party thereafter to exercise or enforce each and every such right, remedy and obligation. No waiver of any default shall be deemed or construed to be a waiver of any other default, and no such waiver shall be valid or binding upon a party unless it is set forth in a written instrument signed by such party. The receipt by Landlord of less than the full Rent due at the time shall not be deemed or construed to be other than the receipt of a payment on account of the Rent then due, nor shall any statement on or in any letter accompanying Tenant's check be deemed or construed to be an accord and satisfaction; and Landlord may accept such payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the remaining balance of the Rent then due or to pursue any of its other rights and remedies. No act or failure to act by Landlord or its employees or agents shall be deemed or construed to be an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such a surrender shall be valid or binding upon Landlord unless it is set forth in a written instrument signed by Landlord.

 

Section 13.5 -- Attorneys' Fees. If either party should default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure period) and the other party should employ one or more attorneys to assist it in enforcing its rights and remedies, the defaulting party shall reimburse the other party (provided such party is not also in default beyond any applicable notice and cure period) for the attorneys' fees paid or incurred by it in connection therewith, regardless of whether suit is filed or whether this Lease shall have been terminated, it being agreed that this obligation shall survive such termination.

 

 
14

 

 

Section 13.6 -- Waiver of Trial by Jury. Landlord and Tenant waive their right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other (except for personal injury or property damage) on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease.

 

ARTICLE 14 -- EMINENT DOMAIN

 

Section 14.1 – Taking. The terms "eminent domain," "condemnation," "taken," and the like in this Article 14 include takings for public or quasi-public use and private purchases in place of condemnation by any authority authorized to exercise the power of eminent domain. If the entire Premises or the portions of the Complex required for reasonable use of the Premises are taken by eminent domain, this Lease shall automatically terminate on the earlier of: (a) the date title vests in the condemning authority, or (b) the date Tenant is dispossessed by the condemning authority. If there is a partial taking and this Lease continues, then this Lease shall terminate as to the part taken and the Rent shall be equitably reduced.

 

Section 14.2 -- Termination by Landlord. If title to a part of the Complex other than the Premises is condemned, and, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, the Complex should be restored in a manner that materially alters the Premises, Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant.

 

Section 14.3 -- Awards and Damages. Landlord reserves all rights to damages paid because of any partial or entire taking of the Premises. Tenant assigns to Landlord any right Tenant may have to the damages or award. Further, Tenant shall not make claims against Landlord or the condemning authority for damages.

 

Section 14.4 -- Temporary Condemnation. If part or all of the Premises are condemned for a period of time ("Temporary Condemnation"), this Lease shall remain in effect and Rent shall not be abated. Landlord shall receive the entire award for any Temporary Condemnation.

 

ARTICLE 15 -- GENERAL AND MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

Section 15.1 -- Notice; Time of the Essence. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given to a party under this Lease or by law shall be in writing, unless otherwise specified herein, and may be delivered in person or by overnight courier which provides evidence of receipt to such party at the address specified in Item J of the Basic Lease Provisions. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given as follows: (i) when sent by overnight courier, as of the earlier of receipt or the first (1st) business day after deposit with the overnight courier, and (ii) when delivered by any other means, upon receipt. Either party may change its address for notice by giving written notice thereof to the other party. Time is of the essence with respect to each and every obligation under this Lease.

 

 
15

 

 

Section 15.2 -- Subordination and Attornment. Tenant agrees that this Lease is and shall be subordinate to any mortgages, deeds of trust, superior leases and ground leases that are now, or may hereafter be placed, upon the Premises or to which the Premises are subject and to any and all advances to be made thereunder, and to the interest thereon, and all renewals, replacements, modifications, amendments and extensions thereof. Tenant also agrees that any mortgagee or beneficiary may elect to have this Lease constitute a prior lien to its mortgage or deed of trust, and in the event of such election and upon notification by such mortgagee or beneficiary to Tenant to that effect, this Lease shall be deemed prior in lien to such mortgage or deed of trust, whether this Lease is dated prior to or subsequent to the date of said mortgage or deed of trust. Tenant agrees that upon the request of Landlord, or any mortgagee, lessor or beneficiary, Tenant shall execute whatever instruments may be reasonably required by Landlord or by any mortgagee, lessor or beneficiary to carry out the intent of this Section. In the event of the cancellation or termination of any superior lease, (1) this Lease and all of the rights of Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except that the lessor under any applicable superior lease shall be deemed to be 'Landlord', or at the request of such lessor or Tenant, such lessor and Tenant shall enter into a direct lease upon the same terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, (2) Tenant agrees to be bound to such lessor under all provisions of this Lease for the balance of the Term with the same force and effect as if such lessor was the original 'Landlord' under this Lease, and (3) Tenant shall perform and observe its obligations under this Lease, and Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such lessor as its 'Landlord' under this Lease. In the event of foreclosure, or conveyance by deed in lieu of foreclosure, or exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage and/or deed of trust, or in the event Landlord sells, conveys or otherwise transfers its interest in the Land or any portion thereof containing the Premises or in the event that any superior lease is terminated, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant hereby attorns to, and covenants and agrees to execute an instrument in writing reasonably satisfactory to the new owner or lessor whereby Tenant attorns to such successor in interest and recognizes such successor as the 'Landlord' under this Lease, provided, however, that such successor shall not be bound by any payment of Rent for more than three (3) months in advance, any security deposit, or any prior default by Landlord. Upon request by Tenant, Landlord shall use good faith efforts to secure from the holder of any mortgage affecting the Land a written agreement wherein the holder agrees that so long as Tenant is not in default of its obligations under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period the holder shall recognize Tenant's rights under this Lease. Rent due under this Lease shall not be paid more than three (3) months in advance, and shall, upon receipt of written notification from the holder of the mortgage, deed of trust or superior lease, be paid by the Tenant directly to such holder until the Tenant receives other written instructions from such holder.

 

Section 15.3 -- Tenant Estoppel Certificate. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, execute and deliver to Landlord, or to any person or entity named by Landlord, a tenant estoppel certificate which states that this Lease is in full force and effect and unmodified (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification), the amount of Rent, and the date to which Rent has been paid, that there are not, to Tenant's knowledge, any existing defaults (or specifying such defaults if any are so claimed), and such other matters as are typically covered by such a certificate or as may be reasonably requested by Landlord.

 

Section 15.4 -- Choice of Law; Jurisdiction. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without regard to its conflicts of law rules. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any dispute arising out of this Lease are the State Courts of the Commonwealth of Virginia located in Fairfax, Virginia and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division.

 

Section 15.5 -- Complete Agreement; Amendment; Severability. This Lease, including all exhibits, addenda, and other documents attached or referred to herein, all of which are incorporated by reference into this Lease, constitutes the complete agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; it supersedes all previous understandings, if any, between the parties; no oral or implied understandings, representations or warranties shall vary its terms; and it may not be amended, other than by a written instrument executed and delivered by both parties. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Lease, in any particular respect, shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other provision of this Lease or of the same provision in any other respect.

 

 
16

 

 

Section 15.6 -- Successors and Assigns; Assignment; Sale of the Complex. This Lease shall, subject to the provisions of Article 12, inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. Landlord may sell and convey the Complex and assign its interest in this Lease at any time; and if Landlord should do so, then Landlord shall be automatically released from liability for the performance of its obligations under this Lease after the date of such conveyance; and Tenant shall thereafter look for such performance solely to such purchaser, who shall be deemed to have assumed all of such obligations, it being agreed that such obligations shall be binding upon Landlord or its successors and assigns only during and in respect of their respective periods of ownership of the Land. The covenants, undertakings and agreements of Landlord hereunder are not the personal obligations of Landlord and this Lease is entered into on the express condition that any judgment obtained against Landlord in connection with this Lease, the Premises, the Land and the Complex shall be satisfied only from Landlord’s interest in the Land and any proceeds received from the sale thereof.

 

Section 15.7 -- Captions; Pronouns; Gender; Definition of Person; Joint and Several Obligations. All captions used in this Lease are for convenience only; they do not form a substantive part of this Lease; and they shall not enlarge or restrict any substantive provision of this Lease. A pronoun or any variation thereof used in this Lease is deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the person may require. The term "person," as used in this Lease, includes a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, trust, estate, government, governmental agency or other entity, as well as an individual or natural person. If two or more persons should sign this Lease as Tenant, their obligations under it shall be joint and several.

 

Section 15.8 – Recording. Neither this Lease nor any memorandum of this Lease shall be recorded (other than in connection with the enforcement of a default hereunder).

 

Section 15.9 -- Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants with Tenant that if and so long as Tenant pays the Rent, and is not otherwise in default hereunder, then Tenant shall have the peaceful and quiet enjoyment, possession, occupancy and use of the Premises without any interference from Landlord, its employees or agents, or persons claiming a right of possession or tenancy granted to it by Landlord, except to the extent otherwise provided in this Lease or by law.

 

Section 15.10 -- Broker's Commission. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that there are no claims for brokerage commissions or finder's fees in connection with this Lease, and Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord and hold it harmless from all liabilities arising from any such claim, including, without limitation, the cost of attorneys' fees in connection therewith from any other broker claiming through Tenant. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

 

Section 15.11 -- Patriot Act. As an inducement to Landlord to enter into this Lease, Tenant hereby represents and warrants that: (i) the Tenant is not, nor is it owned or controlled directly or indirectly by, any person, group, entity or nation named on any list issued by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury pursuant to Executive Order 13224 or any similar list or any law, order, rule or regulation or any Executive Order of the President of the United States as a terrorist, “Specially Designated National and Blocked Person” or other banned or blocked person (any such person, group, entity or nation being hereinafter referred to as a “Prohibited Person”); (ii) Tenant is not (nor is it owned, controlled, directly or indirectly, by any person, group, entity or nation which is) acting directly or indirectly for or on behalf of any Prohibited Person; and (iii) neither Tenant (nor any person, group, entity or nation which owns or controls Tenant, directly or indirectly) has conducted or will conduct business or has engaged or will engage in any transaction or dealing with any Prohibited Person, including without limitation, any assignment of this Lease or any subletting or all or any portion of the Premises or the making or receiving of any contribution or funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of a Prohibited Person. In connection with the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that (x) any breach by Tenant of the foregoing representations and warranties shall be deemed a default by the Tenant under this Lease, and (y) the representations and warranties contained in this Section shall be continuing in nature and shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

Section 15.12 -- Parking. Parking is available in the parking facility of the Complex (the “Parking Facility”) on an unreserved, non-exclusive basis. Landlord reserves the right to institute restrictions on access to and the number of parking spaces permitted for each tenant of the Complex, including Tenant, and to assign the operation of the Parking Facility to a third-party operator. Landlord may, in its sole discretion, implement a parking validation system for patients or visitors of each tenant of the Complex, including Tenant.

MASTER LEASE GUARANTY

 

THIS MASTER LEASE GUARANTY is made as of May __, 2016, by Gyrodyne, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Guarantor”), in favor of One Capital Partners, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company, its successors and assigns (“Landlord”).

 

WITNESSETH:

 

A.     Landlord and Virginia Healthcare Center, LLC ("Tenant"), have entered into a lease agreement dated this date (the “Lease”) wherein Tenant has leased space located at 10721 Main Street, Fairfax, Virginia 22030 from Landlord and as more fully described in the Lease.

 

B.     As partial consideration for the Lease, Landlord requires that Guarantor guarantees the full performance of the Lease by Tenant, including the payment of all rentals and other amounts to accrue thereunder.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, Guarantor covenants as follows:

 

1.     Guaranty. Guarantor, for itself and its successors and assigns, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the prompt payment when due, or whenever payment may become due under the terms of the Lease, all payments of rent, additional rent, impositions, and all other charges, expenses and costs of every kind and nature, which are or may be due now or in the future under the terms of the Lease; and the complete and timely performance, satisfaction and observation of the terms, covenants and conditions, rules and regulations and related obligations arising by reason of the Lease, required to be performed, satisfied or observed by Tenant.

 

Guarantor acknowledges that it will derive material economic benefit from and in connection with the Lease, and that the execution and delivery of this Guaranty is a condition precedent to Landlord’s approval, execution and delivery of the Lease.

 

2.     Coverage of Guaranty. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely collection and extends to any and all liability that Tenant has or may have to Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Lease; provided, however, that this Guaranty shall not expire until such time as all obligations of Tenant to Landlord are paid and performed in full pursuant to the terms of the Lease.

 

3.     Performance Guaranty. In the event that Tenant fails to perform, satisfy or observe the terms and conditions of the Lease required to be performed, satisfied or observed by Tenant, Guarantor will promptly and fully perform, satisfy and observe the obligation or obligations in the place of Tenant. Guarantor shall pay, reimburse and indemnify Landlord for any and all damages, costs, expenses, losses and other liabilities, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of suit, arising or resulting from the failure of Tenant to perform, satisfy or observe any of the terms and conditions of the Lease; provided, however, that Guarantor’s obligations under this Agreement shall be limited to two (2) years of Base Rent and the costs associated with the recovery of the same, including reasonable attorney’s fees not to exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the recovered Base Rent (“Guarantor’s Maximum Liability”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Guarantor’s Maximum Liability shall be reduced in an amount equal to each installment of Rent that is timely paid under the Lease.

 

 
21

 

 

4.     Waiver of Notices. Without notice to or consent from Guarantor, with the mutual agreement of the parties to the Lease Landlord may amend, waive or modify any of the terms or conditions of the Lease, any rules and regulations or related Tenant obligations; or compromise, settle or extend the time of payment of any amount due from the Tenant or the time of performance of any obligation of Tenant. These actions may be taken by Landlord without discharging or otherwise affecting the obligations of Guarantor.

 

5.     Unconditional Obligations. The liability of Guarantor is direct, immediate, absolute, continuing, unconditional and unlimited except as otherwise specified herein. The liability of Guarantor is coextensive with that of Tenant and also joint and several with Tenant. Guarantor agrees that Landlord may enforce this Guaranty without first exercising any right or remedy provided for under the Lease or applicable law and legal action may be brought against Guarantor and carried to final judgment either with or without making Tenant a party thereto. Landlord may alternatively enforce this Guaranty concurrently with, or at any time subsequent to, the exercise of any right or remedy under the Lease or applicable law, and in furtherance of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that Landlord’s exercise of any right or remedy under the Lease or applicable law shall not discharge Guarantor from its obligations under this Guaranty, such obligations being absolute and unconditional, and Guarantor hereby specifically waives the benefits of any statute or rule of law inconsistent with the terms hereof. Guarantor hereby waives any and all rights which Guarantor has under Section 49-25 and 49-26 of the Code of Virginia, as amended. Landlord shall not be required to pursue any remedies it may have against Tenant or against any collateral as a condition to enforcement of this Guaranty. Guarantor shall not be discharged or released by reason of the discharge or release of Tenant for any reason, including a discharge in Bankruptcy, receivership or other proceedings, a disaffirmation or rejection of the Lease by a trustee, custodian, or other representative in Bankruptcy, a stay or other enforcement restriction, or any other reduction, modification, impairment or limitations of the liability of Tenant or any remedy of Landlord. In the event that, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief law, or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, Landlord must rescind or restore any payment, or any part thereof, received by Landlord, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantor by Landlord shall be without effect, and this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect. It is the intention of Tenant and Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by Guarantor’s performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and abrogates any and all rights it may now or hereafter have under any agreement, at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating the Guarantor to the rights of Landlord), to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from Tenant or any other party liable for payment of any or all amounts due under the Lease for any payment made by Guarantor under or in connection with this Guaranty or otherwise.

 

6.     Certificate of Existence. On ten (10) days’ written notice from Landlord, Guarantor shall execute a certificate acknowledging and reaffirming this Guaranty, its continued existence and that it remains binding and in full force and effect.

 

 
22

 

 

7.     Binding Effect. This Guaranty is binding upon Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Landlord, its successors and assigns. No assignment or delegation by Guarantor shall release the Guarantor of its obligations under this Guaranty. This Guaranty shall bind the successors, assigns and legal representatives of Guarantor. The term “Tenant” used in this Guaranty includes also the first and any successive assignee or sublessee of Tenant.

 

8.     Modifications. This Guaranty contains the entire agreement between Landlord and Guarantor with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior writings and oral agreements. This Guaranty may not be modified orally, but only by a writing signed by both Guarantor and Landlord. Modifications include any waiver, change, discharge, modification or termination.

 

 

9.     Choice of Law; Jurisdiction. This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Virginia applicable to agreements made and to be wholly performed within Virginia. Landlord and Guarantor hereby agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any dispute arising out of this Guaranty or the Lease are the State Courts of the Commonwealth of Virginia located in Fairfax County, Virginia and the Federal District Court located in Fairfax County, Virginia.

 

10.     Waiver of Jury Trial. Guarantor hereby waives trial by jury in any action brought on or with respect to this Guaranty or the Lease.

 

11.     Authority. Guarantor represents and warrants that this Guaranty has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, if necessary, and has been duly executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer, and constitutes Guarantor’s valid and legally binding agreement.

 

12.     Invalidity. If any provision of this Guaranty or the application thereof to any person, entity or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Guaranty shall not be affected thereby and each remaining provision of the Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted by the law.

 

13.     Notice. All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be given by (i) any nationally recognized overnight delivery service with proof of delivery sent to the intended addressee at the address set forth below, or to such other address or to the attention of such other person as the addressee will have designated by written notice sent in accordance herewith, or (ii) electronic mail with electronic confirmation of receipt, provided that a paper copy of such notice is delivered pursuant to clause (i) above on the next Business Day. Unless changed in accordance with the preceding sentence, the addresses for notices given pursuant to this Agreement will be as follows:
