Term of Lease This Lease shall commence on the 241h day ofDecember, 2012, and extend until its expiration on the 31st day of December, 2013, unless renewed or extended pursuant to the terms herein. 4.

Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all damages to the leased premises upon the termination of this Lease, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Tenant may not apply the security deposit to any rent due under this Lease. If Landlord sells or assigns the leased premises, Landlord shall have the right to transfer Tenant's security deposit to the new owner or assignee to hold under this Lease and upon so doing Landlord shall be released from all liability to Tenant for return of said security deposit. Within three weeks after the tenant has vacated the premises, the landlord shall furnish the tenant, by personal delivery or by first-class mail, postage prepaid, a copy of an itemized statement indicating the basis for, and the amount of, any security received and the disposition of the security and shall return any remaining portion of the security to the tenant. The landlord is not obligated to return a tenant's security deposit or give the tenant a written description of damages and charges until the tenant gives the landlord a written statement of the tenant's forwarding address for the purpose of refunding the security deposit. Tenant agrees that if such address is not produced within 14 days from the date of termination of the Lease, that Tenant forfeits the security deposit. 5. Rent Payments Tenant agrees to pay rent unto the Landlord during the term ofthis Lease in equal monthly installments of$5, said installment for each month being due and payable on or before the 1st day of the month, the first full rent payment under this Lease being due on the 1st day of January 2013.

Tenant agrees that rent monies will not be considered paid until Landlord or Landlord's agent receives the rent monies, either by mail or by delivery to the above address. Tenant placing rent monies in the mail is not sufficient for rent to be considered paid, and rent will be considered unpaid until actual receipt thereof. If there are multiple Tenants signed to this Lease, all such Tenants are jointly, severally and individually bound by, and liable under, the terms and conditions of this Lease. A judgment entered against one Tenant shall be no bar to an action against other Tenants. 6. Consequences of Breach by Tenant If Tenant, by any act or omission, or by the act or omission of any of Tenant's family or invitees, licensees, and/or guests, violates any of the terms or conditions of this Lease or any other documents made a part hereof by reference or attachment, Tenant shall be considered in breach of this Lease (breach by one tenant shall be considered breach by all tenants where Tenant is more than one person).

However, if the breach by the Tenant is nonpayment of rent, the Landlord shall not be required to deliver thirty (30) days' written notice as provided above. In such event, the Landlord may serve Tenant with a seven (7) day written notice of termination, whereupon the Tenant must pay the unpaid rent in full or surrender possession of the premises by the expiration of the seven (7) day notice period. Furthermore, the Tenant may be terminated with three (3) days notice if the Tenant has committed a substantial violation of the Lease Agreement or applicable law that materially affects health and safety, and the violation is not cured prior to the expiration of the three day notice period. Tenant expressly agrees and understands that upon Landlord's termination of this Lease, the entire remaining balance of unpaid rent for the remaining term of this Lease shall ACCELERATE, whereby the entire sum shall become immediately due, payable, and collectable.

Materiality of Application to Rent All representations made by Tenant(s) on the Application to Rent (or like-titled document) are material to the grant of this Lease, and the Lease is granted only on condition of the truthfulness and accuracy of said representations.

No Waiver The failure of Landlord to insist upon the strict performance of the terms, covenants, and agreements herein shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of Landlord's right thereafter to enforce any such term, covenant, or condition, but the same shall continue in full force and effect. No act or omission of Landlord shall be considered a waiver of any of the terms or conditions of this Lease, nor excuse any conduct contrary to the terms and conditions of this Lease, nor be considered to create a pattern of conduct between the Landlord and Tenant upon which Tenant may rely upon if contrary to the terms and conditions of this Lease. 6 /L- Lease Agreement 485 Green Links Drive, Cameron, NC 28326 29. Attorney Fees In the event that Landlord employees an attorney to collect any rents or other charges due hereunder by Tenant or to enforce any of Tenant's covenants herein or to protect the interest of the Landlord hereunder, Tenant agrees to pay a reasonable attorney's fee and all expenses and costs incurred thereby, to the greatest extent allowed by applicable law. 30. Heirs and Assigns It is agreed and understood that all covenants of this lease shall succeed to and be binding upon the respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and, except as provided herein, assigns of the parties hereto, but nothing contained herein shall be construed so as to allow the Tenant to transfer or assign this lease in violation of any term hereof. 31.
