Mutual Lease Termination & General Release

1. Purpose and Consideration

This Mutual Lease Termination and General Release (this "Agreement") is entered into voluntarily and knowingly by Landlord and Tenants to terminate the Lease early on the terms below, and to fully and finally release, settle, and discharge any and all claims between the parties relating to the Lease, the Property, and every dealing between the parties through the date of this Agreement. Each party acknowledges the sufficiency and adequacy of the consideration set forth herein.

Effectiveness — all-or-nothing signing: This Agreement is not effective unless all three parties (Aabiona Cunningham, DeVaunte Carey, and Ralph West) sign within five (5) business days of the first party's signature. If any signature is missing at the end of that period, this Agreement is null and the Lease continues unmodified. Any Tenant payment received by Landlord before all three signatures are complete shall be held segregated and refundable in full, whether or not the funds have posted to Landlord's account, and shall be refunded in full to Tenants if this Agreement fails to fully execute. Landlord shall countersign within 48 hours of both Tenants' signatures being complete. If Landlord fails to countersign within that window, this Agreement is null on the same terms as a missing Tenant signature: any Tenant payment held in escrow is refunded in full and the Lease continues unmodified. Tenants' sole remedy for Landlord's failure to countersign is the return of any escrowed payment.

2. Termination and Move-Out

• Vacate date: Tenants shall completely vacate and surrender possession of the Property to Landlord on or before September 6, 2026 ("Vacate Date"), returning all keys, remotes, and access devices in Landlord's possession as of the Start Date.
• Condition at surrender: Tenants shall surrender the Property in the condition required by Section 2.8 of the Lease (ordinary wear and tear excepted), broom-clean, with all personal property removed. Any personal property left at the Property after the Vacate Date is deemed abandoned and may be disposed of by Landlord at Tenants' cost.
• Right of inspection: Landlord may inspect the Property immediately upon surrender. Landlord's discovery of damage within thirty (30) days of the Vacate Date is timely for purposes of any claim against Tenants under Section 5.2(c) or the Lease.
• Interim cooperation: Between the signing date and the Vacate Date, Tenants shall (i) permit Landlord to inspect the Property upon 24 hours' notice, (ii) maintain the Property in the same condition, and (iii) not commit or permit any act that would constitute a Default under the Lease.
• Rent and grace period through Vacate Date: The parties acknowledge that Tenants have paid Monthly Rent for August 2026 in full. Landlord grants Tenants a rent-free grace period from September 1, 2026 through the Vacate Date to complete their move-out. No additional Monthly Rent is owed by Tenants under the Lease for any period through the Vacate Date. The August 2026 payment is separate from and not credited toward the $8,250.00 described in Section 3.
• No holdover: If Tenants fail to vacate the Property on or before the Vacate Date, this Agreement is void at Landlord's sole option, Tenants forfeit the payment described in Section 3, and Landlord retains every right and remedy under the Lease and under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 1923 (Forcible Entry and Detainer) or any successor statute, including without limitation double rent for the holdover period.

3. Financial Terms

In full and complete consideration for the terminations, releases, waivers, and covenants set forth in this Agreement:

• Payment methods and timing: Tenants shall pay the early-termination amount of Eight Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Dollars and No Cents ($8,250.00) by one of the following three methods, at Tenants' choice:
  1. Zelle — pay $8,250.00 to Ralph West at (216) 484-5305 or ralphwestworld@gmail.com. No processing fee.
  2. Cashier's check — pay $8,250.00 made payable to Ralph West, delivered by hand (with signature confirmation) or by overnight courier requiring signature to 1506 Lincoln Ave, Lakewood, OH 44107, or such other address as Landlord may designate in writing at least 24 hours in advance. No processing fee.
  3. Online payment link (Shop Pay / Shop Pay Installments) — pay $8,497.50 (which is the $8,250.00 principal plus a $247.50 payment-processing fee of three percent (3%)) at https://calilifeco.com/products/554-greenvale-lease-termination-settlement-payment. This checkout supports Shop Pay Installments, which permits Tenants to split the payment into monthly installments (subject to Shop Pay's approval and terms). Tenants electing this method agree that the $247.50 processing fee is theirs, not Landlord's, and is not refundable.
  Payment is due at signing of this Agreement, with a hard grace period of three (3) calendar days from and including the signing date of the last Tenant to sign (the "Payment Deadline"). Tenants are jointly and severally responsible for the full amount under whichever method they choose, and any allocation between Tenants is solely their responsibility. Selection of a method is at Tenants' sole discretion; Landlord makes no representation as to which method is best for Tenants.
• Cali Life Co. LLC is not a party to this Agreement — payment platform only: The online payment link at calilifeco.com is provided by Cali Life Co. LLC (an entity separately owned by Landlord) solely as a payment-processing convenience so Tenants have access to Shop Pay's installment financing. Cali Life Co. LLC is not a party to this Agreement, has no rights or obligations under this Agreement or the Lease, and is not liable for any claim, dispute, refund, chargeback, action, or proceeding arising out of the Lease, this Agreement, the Property, or the landlord-tenant relationship between Landlord and Tenants. Any dispute concerning (a) the technical operation of the payment platform, (b) Tenants' eligibility for or use of Shop Pay Installments, (c) Shop Pay's financing terms or fees, or (d) any related payment-processing issue, is governed exclusively by Shopify Inc.'s and Cali Life Co. LLC's respective terms of service and is not a dispute under this Agreement. Tenants hereby knowingly and voluntarily waive and release any and all claims of any kind against Cali Life Co. LLC, its members, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates, arising out of or in any way relating to the Lease, this Agreement, the Property, or Tenants' use of the online payment link, and Cali Life Co. LLC is expressly deemed a Released Party under Section 5.1 for all purposes. Tenants' election to use the online payment link constitutes acceptance of this Section.
• Note on Zelle bank limits: Zelle transfers are subject to daily and weekly limits set by each Tenant's bank, which may be lower than $8,250.00. If Tenants intend to pay by Zelle, they may need to contact their bank in advance to request a temporary limit increase, split the payment across multiple days within the grace period, or use one of the other payment methods instead. Bank limits do not extend the Payment Deadline.
• Landlord's acceptance of payment: Landlord's acceptance of a timely, good-faith full-amount payment is presumed. Landlord shall not be deemed to have refused payment unless Landlord notifies Tenants of the refusal in writing before the Payment Deadline. If Landlord affirmatively refuses a timely tender of full payment, the Payment Deadline extends day-for-day until Landlord accepts, the impasse is resolved by written agreement, or ten (10) additional calendar days elapse (whichever occurs first). If ten days elapse without acceptance, Tenants may treat Landlord's non-acceptance as an anticipatory breach of Section 1's Effectiveness paragraph, with the same sole remedy (refund of any escrowed payment) and no other.
• Security Deposit forfeited: In addition to the $8,250.00 above, Tenants hereby knowingly, voluntarily, and irrevocably forfeit the entire Security Deposit held by Landlord under the Lease. Landlord shall retain the Security Deposit in full. No portion of the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenants and no accounting or itemized statement is owed under Ohio Revised Code § 5321.16 or any successor statute, the parties agreeing that this Section constitutes a mutually-agreed, arms-length settlement of any and all rights to the Security Deposit.
• FAILURE TO PAY — AUTOMATIC REVERSION: If Tenants fail to pay the full $8,250.00 in cleared funds by the Payment Deadline, then this Agreement is automatically void, without any further action or notice required, and the original Residential Lease dated May 10, 2026 is automatically and fully reinstated in every respect as if this Agreement had never been signed. In that event: (i) Tenants remain bound by every term of the Lease through the natural Expiration Date; (ii) the Security Deposit remains subject to the Lease's normal terms and is no longer forfeited; (iii) any Vacate Date set in Section 2 is null; and (iv) Landlord retains every right and remedy under the Lease and Ohio law, including without limitation the Early Termination Penalty in the Lease (fifty percent (50%) of remaining Rent plus forfeiture of Security Deposit), unpaid Rent, and Landlord's right to bring an action for forcible entry and detainer under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 1923 or any successor statute. Tenants' failure to pay by the Payment Deadline is deemed a Default under the Lease and does not entitle Tenants to any refund, credit, or reduction whatsoever.
• Partial payment — no refund, no credit: Any partial payment received before the Payment Deadline that does not add up to the full $8,250.00 is retained by Landlord as liquidated damages for the failed negotiation and is not credited toward the reinstated Lease or refunded.
• No other sums owed: Except for the $8,250.00 above, Tenants owe Landlord no other amount whatsoever (other than any Rent that remains unpaid through the Vacate Date under Section 2, which the parties acknowledge is zero as of the date of this Agreement), and Landlord owes Tenants no amount whatsoever. No further payment, credit, refund, or accounting is due from either party to the other on any account arising out of or related to the Lease or the Property.

4. Tenants' Acknowledgment of No Unlawful Conduct

Tenants each expressly acknowledge, represent, and warrant that:

1. Landlord has at all times acted lawfully and in good faith with respect to Tenants, the Lease, the Property, and any activity related to the marketing or potential sale of the Property.
2. Tenants have no knowledge of, and are not aware of, any illegal, discriminatory, retaliatory, harassing, or otherwise unlawful conduct by Landlord.
3. All of Landlord's actions with respect to Tenants, including any communications, notices of entry, showings, or requests concerning the Property, have been consistent with the Lease and with Ohio Revised Code Chapter 5321 (Landlords and Tenants) or any successor statute.
4. Tenants acknowledge that this Agreement contains all material terms and that Tenants are not relying on any oral representation, promise, or assurance made outside this Agreement.

5. Mutual General Release and Covenant Not to Sue

6. Non-Disparagement

Each party agrees not to publish, post, or communicate any statement, review, or communication (whether written, oral, or on any online platform including social media, Google, Yelp, Zillow, Apartments.com, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit, or otherwise) that disparages, defames, or reflects negatively on the other party, the Lease, the Property, or any Released Party, except that either party may (a) truthfully respond to a subpoena, court order, or governmental inquiry, (b) make legally-required disclosures (including without limitation seller's disclosures under Ohio Revised Code § 5302.30 or any successor statute), or (c) make truthful statements to their own attorneys, accountants, insurance carriers, and immediate family members. This Section survives for the maximum period permitted by Ohio law. Any breach entitles the non-breaching party to injunctive relief, actual damages, or liquidated damages of Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00) per proven breach, at the non-breaching party's election. The parties agree that $2,500.00 per breach is a reasonable estimate of the harm caused by any such breach and that actual damages from disparagement are inherently difficult to calculate. Attorneys' fees and costs incurred by the non-breaching party in enforcing this Section are also recoverable.

7. Confidentiality

The existence, terms, and financial amounts of this Agreement are confidential. Neither party shall disclose them to any third party (including without limitation any future landlord, prospective landlord, rental application, prospective employer, background-check service, insurance underwriter, online review platform, or social-media audience) except: (a) to their respective attorneys, accountants, tax preparers, and immediate family members on a need-to-know basis subject to the same confidentiality; (b) as required by law, court order, or valid subpoena, in which case the disclosing party shall provide prompt written notice to the other party; or (c) as necessary to enforce this Agreement.

8. Voluntariness, Counsel, Integration, and Miscellaneous

1. Voluntary and knowing: Each party acknowledges that they have read this Agreement in full, that they understand every provision of it, that they have had a full and fair opportunity to consult with independent legal counsel of their own choosing before signing, and that they are signing voluntarily, without duress, coercion, or undue influence.
2. Entire agreement: This Agreement, together with the Lease as expressly modified by this Agreement, is the complete and final integration of the parties' agreement. It supersedes all prior and contemporaneous negotiations, discussions, representations, emails, texts, and understandings, oral or written, including without limitation the "Understanding & Agreement" dated July 15, 2026, which is hereby superseded in its entirety. No statement, characterization, or promise made outside this Agreement (including in any email, text, or verbal conversation) is part of the parties' agreement or admissible to vary its terms.
3. No admission: Nothing in this Agreement, and nothing in any statement made by either party in negotiating this Agreement, shall be construed as an admission of liability, fault, or wrongdoing by either party. The parties enter into this Agreement to fully and finally settle all matters between them, with no admission by any party.
4. Governing law and venue: This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Ohio without regard to conflicts-of-laws principles. The exclusive venue for any action to enforce or interpret this Agreement is the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas or the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, and the parties consent to personal jurisdiction there.
5. Waiver of jury trial: Each party knowingly and voluntarily waives any right to a jury trial in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Lease.
6. Attorneys' fees: In any action to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party is entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, and expenses.
7. Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the unenforceable provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
8. Joint and several liability: The Tenants' obligations under this Agreement are joint and several. Each Tenant is fully bound whether or not the other Tenant is bound or performs.
9. Counterparts and electronic signatures: This Agreement may be executed electronically (including via the online signing interface below) and in counterparts, each of which constitutes an original, and all of which together constitute one instrument. Electronic signatures are legally binding under the federal ESIGN Act and the Ohio Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
10. Post-vacate notice: After the Vacate Date, notices to Tenants may be sent by email to the addresses in the parties block and are effective on send.
11. Superseded email addresses: The email addresses shown in the parties block above (aabionaellise@gmail.com for Aabiona Cunningham and devaunte.carey060@gmail.com for DeVaunte Carey) are each Tenant's current, operative email address and supersede any different or prior email address shown on the Lease or in any other prior document, for all purposes of notice under both the Lease and this Agreement. The parties are the same natural persons who executed the Lease, regardless of any change in email address.
12. Binding on successors and assigns: This Agreement binds and inures to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns.
13. No modification except in writing: This Agreement may not be modified, amended, or waived except by a written instrument signed by all parties.
