3. FIRST RENTAL PAYMENT. Tenant shall on commencement of this lease, pay to the Landlord the sum of

obtained a substitute tenant for said premises. Tenant and Guarantor will remain responsible and liable for all obligations

dishonored payment. The Tenant further agrees that acceptance and/or refusal by the Landlord of the rent payment after
the due date shall in no manner constitute a waiver of the Landlord’s rights in the event of the Tenants’ failure to make

5. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant agrees to deposit with the Landlord the sum of $_________ as a security deposit for
Tenant’s faithful performance under the Lease and the law. Tenant agrees the deposit is not an advance of rent and does
not relieve the obligation to pay rent including the rent for the last month of the Term. Owner shall hold this deposit for the
term of the lease or renewal or until Owner gets possession of the premises, whichever is last to occur. Owner shall
refund the Security Deposit according to the terms of the Ohio Revised Code and only if Tenant has fully performed

advertising expenses, administrative expenses, administrative overhead and salaries, correspondences expenses,
bookkeeping expenses, office expenses, all costs of preparing the premises for a new tenant, lost rental income, moveout and move-in forms processing and other related re-rental expenses and costs. Tenants will thereupon be billed for all
charges or sums due under the term of the agreements without receiving any credit for the portion of the security deposit
deducted as noted above. Each of the undersigned tenants shall be jointly and severally responsible for all losses
incurred by the Landlord occasioned by the tenancy. This provision does not waive rights of Landlord to seek damages in
excess of the security deposit. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for any rent, fees, utilities due and/or damages
exceeding the security deposit Tenants acknowledge that this lease is subject to owner approval. In the event that such
approvals are not obtained, then Tenant shall be entitled to a full refund of the security deposit, and the Owner
and Tenant will have no further obligations with respect to this lease.

monthly rental payments due. If there are repair charges, late payment charges, bad check charges, or any other charges
due and your payment does not cover the total amount due, a notice will be sent to you with an indication of the remaining

EXHIBIT “B”
Lease Disclosures Addendum
This Addendum contains information for Tenant and the responsibilities of both Tenant and Landlord.
Mold
VOID
Mold is made up of naturally occurring microscopic organisms which reproduce spores. Mold breaks down and feeds on
organic matter that naturally occurs in the environment. The mold spores scatter through the air and the combination of
moisture and organic matter allows for mold growth. Certain types of mold can lead to serious health risks and / or allergic
reactions. Not all mold is easy to see, however when it is, it is often seen in the form of discoloration, that ranges from
white to orange or from green to brown or black. There is also a musty odor present. Minimizing the amount of moisture
along with proper housekeeping helps reduce the chance and amount of mold and mold growth. Appropriate precautions
need to be taken to minimize the potential for mold growth by Tenant.
Existing Mold:
If small areas of mold are already present or occur on non-porous surfaces, for example, ceramic tile, Formica, vinyl
flooring, metal, wood or plastic. Tenant agrees to clean the surface with a soap and water mixture and then allow the
surface area to dry. Then, within twenty four hours Tenant will apply a pre-mixed household spray such as Lysol
Disinfectant or Pine-Sol Disinfectant. Note that if the product contains bleach it can discolor or stain the surface.
Do NOT clean or apply household cleaners to visible mold on porous surfaces such as sheetrock walls or ceilings. Notify
Landlord in writing and Landlord will take the appropriate action.
Tenant shall report to Landlord in writing of:
Visible or suspected mold, all Air Conditioning problems or spillage, any plant watering overflows, musty odors, leaky
faucets, plumbing, pet urine accidents.
Any discoloration of walls, baseboards, doors, window frames, ceiling
If Tenant fails to comply with this Addendum, Tenant may be held responsible for all damage to the above mentioned
property and any health problems that may develop.
