In the event that either party does submit in writing their intent to terminate the agreement Lessee must vacate the premises no later than thirty (30) days after the end date of the "Lease term". Lessee must pay all current and outstanding amounts due prior to final release of inventories stored on the Owners premises. In the event the Lessee fails to vacate the facility within thirty (30) days after the "Lease term" the property will be treated as abandoned and Owner may keep, sell, destroy, or dispose of it without any liabilities to Lessee.

Payments for Space: Lessee agrees to pay to Owner as rent for the Premises the amount of fifty ($.50) cents per square foot ("Rent") for designated staging area plus $12.00 per standard size storage location (40"x48"x48") per month ("Rent") each month.

Wentworth Avenue, Londonderry, NH 03053 (address for rent payment) or at any other address designated by Owner, provided that reasonable notice of payment location is given to Lessee.
