Notwithstanding any herein to the contrary, every Settling Resident shall have no Jess than ninety (90) days notice of the Vacate Date. 2. Consideration, As consideration for the Settling Resident entering into this Stipulation of Settlement, The Salvation Army agrees from the date of execution of this Stipulation being So-Ordered until the Vacate Date, that the annual pereentage increase of ‘occupaney charges listed in the Occupancy Agreement previously executed by the Settling Resident shall not exceed the amount of three (3) percent per annum. Additionally, The Salvation Army shall, at is sole cost and expense, undertake for all Settling Residents who relocate to the New Facility the moving of all of Settling Resident's furniture, furnishings and personal property (including packing and unpacking) from the Premises to the unit assigned by The Salvation Army in its sole discretion at the New Facility (the “Relocation Unit’) by retaining professional, licensed movers of The Salvation Army choosing.

The Settling Resident acknowledges and agrees that the Relocation Unit designated by The Salvation Army for each such Settling Resident is not furnished and will be accepted “as-is” upon issuance of a temporary Certificate of Occupancy. 3. Right, but not Requirement to Occupy a Relo at the New Facilit tv, ‘The Set 1g Resident recognizes that as additional consideration to entering into this Stipulation, The Salvation Army agrees not to undertake any actions to evict the Settling Resident (other than for non-payment of the fees and costs as well as other requirements referenced in the Occupancy Agreement) and allow continued occupancy at the Premises until the Vacate Date. As such additional consideration those Settling Residents who will relocate to the New Facility, The Salvation Army further agrees that upon relocation of the Settling Resident to the New Facility, that the Occupaney Agreement fees shall for three (3) years from the Vacate Date remain fixed at the last annual amount of the Occupancy Agreement that the Settling Resident was required to pay while occupying the Premises. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each and every Settling Resident shall be permitted up to ninety (90) days from issuance of a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for the New Facility to decide to relocate elsewhere. There shall be no penalty incurred by a Settling Resident who decides to relocate elsewhere as provided herein 4, Performance Pursuant to the Stipulation, ‘The Settling Resident acknowledges and recognizes that “TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE” in complying with each and every term and condition of this Stipulation, including, but not limited to, vacating the Premises pursuant to this Stipulation in a timely manner on or before the Vacate Date subject to the provisions of Paragraph “15” herein. Based upon the Settling Resident’s representations that the Settling Resident will comply with all of the terms and conditions of this Stipulation and will vacate in a timely manner, The Salvation Army has entered into this Stipulation conditionally staying the execution of any Judgment of Possession (“Judgment”) and Warrant of Eviction (“Warrant”) (both in Exhibit “A”) up to and including the Vaeate Date. In addition to any and all other remedies provided to either party herein, in the event of a breach of this Stipulation, the breaching party agrees to indemnify and hold the non-breaching party harmless for any and all costs, fees (including but not limited to Attomey fees) and expenses that the non-breaching party may incur due to the failure of the breaching party to abide by all of the terms and conditions of this Stipulation. Not later than the expiration date in the Vacate Notice, the Settling Resident's Counsel or the Settling Resident shall contact The Salvation Army’s Counsel Sherwin Belkin, Esq. by electronic mail at sbelkin@bbwg.com schedule a surrender of the Premises on a mutually agreeable date and time that shall take place no later than the Vacate Date on a business day, Monday through Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm, To complete the surrender, the Settling Resident shall deliver vacant possession of the Premises, free of all occupants and the parties shall meet at the Premises at the agreed upon date and time at which time the Settling Resident shall first tum over the keys (Premises, building and mailbox, if any) to The Salvation Army and execute the annexed Affidavit indicating that the Settling Resident has vacated the Premises (a copy of the Affidavit of Vacatur is annexed hereto as Exhibit “B”) and then deliver the Affidavit to The Salvation Army by hand at the Property. ‘The Settling Resident agrees not to make any application or request to this or any other Court for any stay in relation to the Judgment of possession of and to the Premises, the execution of the Warrant, or to vacate the Judgment of possession of and to the Premises or this Stipulation except as provided for in Paragraph “12” herein. ‘The Settling Resident hereby agrees that ifthe Settling Resident: a) Fails to vacate the Premises on or before the Vacate Date except as provided herein; and/or b) Makes any application except as provided herein, or request to this or any Court for a further stay in relation to the final Judgment of Possession, the issuance of the Warrant of Eviction, and/or the execution of the Warrant of Eviction, or to vacate the final Judgment of Possession or this Stipulation; and/or ©) Breaches any of the other terms and conditions of this Stipulation, then ‘The Salvation Army shall be permitted to execute upon the Warrant, In addition to all sums stated above, in the event of the Settling Resident’s default by his or her failure to vacate the Premises by the Vacate Date, the Settling Resident shall remain liable to The Salvation Amy for all use and occupancy due through the date The Salvation Army obtains vacant, legal possession of the Premises if after the Vacate Date, calculated at $125.00 per day. While such liquidated damages are difficult to calculate, the failure of the Settling Resident to comply with this Stipulation and vacate the Premises by the Vacate Date will prevent The Salvation Army, or The Salvation Army's successor from taking actions that are contractually requested. Additionally, ‘The Salvation Army's sucesso plans for the complete renovation of the Property would be thwarted. The Settling Resident's occupancy through the Vacate Date shall be subject to the Settling Resident fully complying with all of the terms and conditions of the existing tenancy and Occupaney Agreement. In the event of an inconsistency or conflict between the tems and conditions of the Occupancy Agreement as well as tenancy and this Stipulation, the terms and conditions of this Stipulation shall govern. 5.
