     2. PAYMENT OF RENT: Tenant agrees to pay the monthly installments of rent in advance on the
first day of each and every month during the Term and any extensions or renewals thereof, without
demand, except that Tenant shall pay the first monthly installment concurrently with the execution
of this Lease. If the Term commences or ends on a day other than the last day of a calendar month,
the monthly installment of rent for such month shall be prorated on a daily basis. Tenant’s

shall make no other claim against Landlord for such delay.

     3. PERCENTAGE RENT: This paragraph applies to any lease permitting a retail use. Tenant
shall pay as percentage rate for each Lease year the amount, if any, by which                      percent (___%)

fixed rent for such Lease year. The first Lease year shall commence on the first day of the first

calendar months. “Gross Sales” shall include the aggregate of all sales and charges for services
rendered or performed, whether wholesale or retail, and whether cash or credit, made in, upon or
from the Premises, and all of its departments, or made by concessionaires, but shall not include
sales taxes or similar taxes collected from customers for governmental agencies, federal, state or
local, sales to employees at discount, nor returns, refunds or allowances made by Tenant to its
customers. Tenant shall pay such percentage rent within fifteen (15) days after the last day of
each quarter of Tenant’s fiscal year. Tenant uses a fiscal year ending on ___.

     4. SECURITY DEPOSIT: Tenant shall pay Landlord the security deposit described above upon
execution of this Lease. Landlord shall hold the security deposit without interest as security for
the payment of rent and any other payments now or which may become due Landlord under this Lease
and as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all the terms of this Lease. Landlord
shall return the security deposit to Tenant after the expiration of this Lease or of any renewal or
extension thereof or upon the termination without the fault or default of Tenant, provided Tenant
shall have made all such payments and performed all the terms of this Lease. Nothing in this
paragraph shall be deemed to limit the amount of any claim, demand, or cause of action of Landlord
against Tenant under this Lease.

     5. USE OF PREMISES: Tenant agrees to use and occupy the Premises solely as
manufacturing/shipping and for no other purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord in
each or any event, which written consent shall be at Landlord’s discretion.

     6. INSURANCE; INDEMNITY; LIABILITY: Tenant shall comply with all insurance regulations so the
lowest fire, lightning, explosion, extended coverage and liability insurance rates may be obtained;
and nothing shall be done or kept in or on the Premises by Tenant or

2

 

which will cause cancellation of any such insurance or which will cause an increase for the
premium for any such insurance on the Premises or on any shopping center or multiple-tenancy
building of which the Premises form a part or on any contents located therein, over the premium
usually charged for the proper use of the Premises as permitted by this Lease. On demand, Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord for insurance premiums if so provided in “Basic Terms” at section 1,
prorated on a daily basis for any partial year.

     Tenant shall at all times indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from all loss,
liability, cost, or damages that may occur or be claimed with respect to any person, entity, or
property, on or about the Premises or to the Premises itself resulting from any act or omission of
Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees, or any person on the Premises related to Tenant’s use,
occupancy, non-use, or possession of the Premises and any and all loss, cost, liability or expense
resulting therefrom except to the extent caused by Landlord’s willful misconduct or gross
negligence. Tenant shall maintain the Premises in a safe and careful manner. Tenant shall
maintain adequate insurance on its personal property used or kept in the Premises and shall
maintain comprehensive public liability insurance with a responsible insurance company, licensed to
do business in Missouri and satisfactory to Landlord, properly protecting and indemnifying Landlord
in an amount of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) for injury to or death of any one
person, Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) for personal injury to or death of two or more persons
arising out of any one occurrence and not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) with
respect to property damage. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a certificate or certificates of
insurance covering such insurance so maintained by Tenant.

     7. SIGNS AND ADVERTISEMENTS: Tenant shall not put upon nor permit to be put upon any part of
the Premises, any signs, billboards or advertisements whatsoever without the prior written consent
of Landlord.

     8. ACCEPTANCE AND MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR: Tenant has inspected and knows the condition of the
Premises and accepts the same in its present condition (subject to ordinary wear, tear, and
deterioration if the Term commences after the date hereof, and to the rights of present or former
occupant or occupants, if any, to remove movable property). Tenant shall keep in good repair and
condition and, when necessary, will replace all parts of the Premises (except those for which
Landlord is expressly responsible under this Lease), including, without limitation, docks, utility
service lines from the point where such lines enter any building of which the Premises form a part,
interior walls, inside surfaces of exterior walls, fixtures, floor coverings, lighting fixtures,
hearing, ventilating, air-conditioning, plumbing, sprinkler system, glass, windows, doors,
elevator, electrical and other mechanical equipment, appliances and systems, improvements made by
and at the expense of Tenant, Tenant’s property (including, without limitation, Tenant’s signs and
advertisements), and, if included in the Premises, railroad tracks, driveways, approaches,
sidewalks, parking areas and adjacent alleys. If included in the Premises, Tenant will regularly
water, mow, trim, fertilize and otherwise maintain lawns, shrubs, plants, trees and other
landscaping, will prevent water pipes from freezing, will clean, remove snow and ice from, prevent
damage to by placement or movement of trash containers, trailers, or dollies on, repaint, repave,
and repair such railroad tracks, driveways, approaches, sidewalks, parking areas and adjacent
alleys. Tenant will not store personal property anyplace outside of a building without the prior
written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall surrender the Premises broom clean, in the same
condition as when occupied, excluding ordinary wear and tear.

     9. MAINTENANCE BY LANDLORD: Landlord shall keep in repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted,
the roof and exterior walls (exclusive of interior surfaces), gutters and

3

 

downspouts of any building of which the Premises form a part, except as to damage arising from
the negligence of the Tenant, but nothing herein shall be construed as requiring Landlord to repair
any front or other part installed by the Tenant or glass in windows or doors. Landlord shall have
no duty to make any such repairs until and unless Tenant notifies Landlord, in writing, of the
necessity therefor, in which event Landlord shall have a reasonable time thereafter to make such
repairs. Landlord reserves the right to the exclusive use of the roof and exterior walls which
Landlord is so obligated to repair.

     10. ENTRY: Landlord may enter the Premises at reasonable hours to examine the same, to show
the same to prospective lenders and purchasers, and to do anything Landlord may be required to do
under this Lease or which Landlord may deem necessary for the good of the Premises or any building
of which the Premises form a part; and, during the last days of this Lease, Landlord may display a
“For Rent” sign on and show the Premises to prospective tenants.

     11. SHOPPING CENTER OR MULTIPLE TENANCY BUILDING: This paragraph applies if the Premises are
a part of a shopping center or multiple tenancy building. Tenant shall conduct its business in a
manner not objectionable to other tenants of Landlord by taking reasonable steps to reduce noise,
vibration, odor, trash or fumes. If Landlord receives complaints from its other tenants, Tenant,
upon notice from Landlord thereof, will promptly modify its conduct to eliminate such objectionable
operations. Subject to the paragraphs captioned “Basic Terms” and “Maintenance by Landlord,”
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the operating expenses of any such
shopping center or multiple tenancy building for any common areas (including, without limitation,
expenses for security, lighting, painting, cleaning, snow and ice removal, inspecting, repairing
and replacing) incurred by Landlord in its discretion. Tenant shall make such reimbursements on
demand, but no more frequently than monthly. Landlord may, at its option, make monthly or other
periodic charges based upon the estimated annual cost of operating expenses payable in advance but
subject to readjustment based on the actual cost for such year.

     12. AUDITS: Landlord agrees to keep accurate records documenting operating expenses and
Tenant agrees to keep accurate records documenting Gross Sales for a minimum of four (4) years
after either incurring such costs or making such sales. Upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice,
either party, at its sole cost and expense, may examine the other party’s records (no more than
once per year). If such examination reveals a misstatement of four percent (4%) or more (per year
for operating expenses or per quarter for Gross Ales), then the other party shall pay the
reasonable cost of such examination and either refund the overcharged amount or pay additional
rent, together with interest thereon of nine percent (9%) per year payable from the date of the
overcharge of operating expenses or underpayment of percentage rent.

     13. DAMAGE BY CASUALTY: If the Premises or any building of which the Premises form a part,
shall be destroyed or shall be so damaged by fire or other casualty, as to become untenantable,
then, at Landlord’s option, this Lease shall terminate from the date of such damage or destruction
and Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and Tenant shall pay rent,
prorated on a daily basis, to the time of such surrender; provided, however, that Landlord shall
exercise its option to terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant within                      (     ) days
after such damage or destruction. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, then this
Lease shall continue in full force and Landlord shall repair the Premises using reasonable
diligence to put the same in as good a condition as prior to the damage or destruction, and for
that purpose may enter the Premises. Rent shall abate in

4

 

proportion to the extent and duration of untenantability. In either event, Tenant shall
remove all rubbish, debris, merchandise, furniture, equipment and other of its personal property
within ten (10) days after the request of the Landlord. If the fire or other casualty does not
render the Premises untenantable and unfit for occupancy, then Landlord shall repair the same using
reasonable diligence but rent shall not abate. Tenant shall have no claim for compensation or
otherwise resulting from inconvenience or annoyance arising from such repairs of any portion of any
building or the Premises, however occurring.

     14. PERSONAL PROPERTY: Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage to any
merchandise, inventory, goods, fixtures, improvements or personal property in or about the
Premises, regardless of the cause of such loss or damage.

     15. ALTERATIONS: Tenant shall not make any alterations or additions in or to the Premises
without the prior written consent of Landlord.

     16. UTILITIES OR SERVICES: Tenant shall furnish and pay for all electricity, gas, water,
fuel, trash removal and any services or utilities used in or assessed against the Premises, unless
otherwise expressly provided in this Lease.

     17. PUBLIC REQUIREMENTS: Tenant shall comply with all laws, orders, ordinances, and other
public requirements now or hereafter affecting the Premises or the use thereof, including, without
limitation, environmental laws and accessibility laws, and indemnify, defend and hold Landlord
harmless from expense or damage resulting from failure to do so.

     18. FIXTURES: All building repairs, alterations, additions, improvements, installations, and
other fixtures, by whomever installed or erected (except for such business trade fixtures and
equipment belonging to Tenant as Tenant can remove without damage to the Premises or building)
shall belong to Landlord and remain on and be surrendered with the Premises at the expiration of
this Lease. However, at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall remove Tenant’s alterations or
improvements prior to the expiration of this Lease and return the Premises to their original
condition.

     19. REAL ESTATE TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS: On demand, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for real
estate taxes and installments of either general or special assessments, if so provided in the
paragraph captioned “Basic Terms,” prorated on a daily basis for any partial year.

     20. EMINENT DOMAIN: If the Premises or any substantial part thereof shall be taken by any
competent authority under the power of eminent domain or be acquired for any public or quasi-public
use or purpose, this Lease shall terminate upon the date when the possession of the Premises or the
part thereof so taken shall be required for such use or purpose and without apportionment of the
award, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired Term. If any
condemnation proceeding shall be instituted in which it is sought to take or damage any part of
Landlord’s building or the land under it or if the grade of any street or alley adjacent to the
building is changed by any competent authority and such change of grade makes it necessary or
desirable to remodel the building to conform to the changed grade, Landlord shall have the right to
cancel this Lease after having given written notice of cancellation to Tenant not less than ninety
(90) days prior to the date of cancellation designated in the notice. In either case, rent at the
then current rate shall be apportioned as of the date of the termination. No money or other
consideration shall be payable by the Landlord to the Tenant for the right of cancellation and
Tenant shall have no

5

 

right to share in the condemnation award or in any judgment for damages caused by the taking
or change of grade. Nothing in this paragraph shall preclude an award being made to Tenant for
loss of business or depreciation to and cost of removal of equipment or fixtures.

     21. SUBROGATION: In consideration of this Lease, each of the parties to this Lease releases
each other from all liability for damage due to any act or neglect of the other party (except as
hereinafter provided) occasioned to property owned by parties resulting from a fire or any other
casualty against loss for which either of the parties is now carrying or hereafter may carry
insurance; provided, however, that such releases shall not apply to any loss or damage occasioned
by the willful, wanton, or premeditated negligence of either of the parties. The parties agree
that any insurance to their respective properties shall contain an appropriate provision whereby
the insurer consents to the mutual release of liability contained in this paragraph.

     22. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES: If: (a) Tenant fails to comply with any term of this Lease; (b)
Tenant deserts or vacates the Premises; (c) any petition is filed by or against Tenant in
bankruptcy or under any similar law; (d) Tenant becomes insolvent or makes a transfer in fraud of
creditors; (e) Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (f) a receiver is
appointed for Tenant or any of the assets of Tenant, then in any of such events, Tenant shall be in
default and Landlord shall have the option to do any one or more of the following: upon ten (10)
days’ prior written notice, in limitation of any other remedy permitted by law, to enter upon the
pre or any part thereof either with or without process of law, and to expel, remove and put out
Tenant or any other persons who might be thereof, together with all personal property found
therein; and, Landlord may terminate this Lease or it may from time to time, without terminating
this Lease, rent the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term
extending beyond the Lease Term) and at such rent and upon such terms as Landlord in its sole
discretion may deem advisable, with the right to repair, renovate, remodel, redecorate, alter and
change the Premises. At the option of the Landlord, rents received by Tenant from such reletting
shall be applied first to the payment of any indebtedness from Tenant to Landlord, rents received
by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied first to the payment of any indebtedness from
Tenant to Landlord other than rent and additional rent due hereunder; second, to payment of any
costs and expenses of such reletting, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, advertising
fees and brokerage fees, and to the payment of any repairs, renovation, remodeling, redecoration,
alterations and changes in the Premises; third, to the payment of rent, additional rent, and
interest, due and payable under this Lease, and, if after applying such rents against Thornton rent
and additional rent and interest Tenant must pay Landlord under this Lease there remains a
deficiency. Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord as calculated and collected by
Landlord monthly. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Premises shall be constituted as an
election on Landlord’s part to terminate or accept a surrender of this Lease unless Landlord gives
Tenant a prior written notice of such intention. Notwithstanding any such reletting without
termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous
breach and default. Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease by reason of any default, in
addition to any other remedy it may have, it may recover from Tenant the worth at the time of such
termination of the excess of the amount of rent and additional rent reserved in this Lease for the
balance of the Lease Term over the then reasonable rental value of the Premises for the same
period. Landlord shall have the right and remedy to seek redress in the courts at any time to
correct or remedy any default of Tenant by injunction or otherwise, without such result being
deemed a termination of or acceptance of surrender of this Lease, and Landlord, whether this Lease
has been terminated or not, shall have the absolute right by court action or otherwise to collect
any and all amounts of unpaid rent or unpaid additional rent or any other sums due from Tenant to
Landlord under

6

 

this Lease which were or are unpaid at the date of termination. If Landlord uses an attorney
to enforce its rights or to collect any amount payable by Tenant under this Lease, then in each
case Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses.

     23. WAIVER: The rights and remedies of the Landlord under this Lease, as well as those
provided or accorded by law, shall be cumulative, and none shall be exclusive of any other rights
or remedies hereunder or allowed by law. A waiver by Landlord of any breach or breaches, default
or defaults, of Tenant hereunder shall not be deemed to be a continuing waiver of such breach or
default nor as a waiver of or permission, express or implied, for any subsequent breach or default;
and it is agreed that the acceptance by Landlord of any installment of rent subsequent to the date
the same should have been paid hereunder shall in no manner alter or affect the covenant and
obligation of Tenant to pay subsequent installments of rent promptly upon the due date thereof. No
receipt of money by Landlord after termination of this Lease in any way shall reinstate, continue
or extend the Term.

     24. REAL ESTATE COMMISSION: Landlord agrees that the Broker(s) identified in section 37 (the
“Broker(s)”) is (are) the only real estate broker(s) involved in representing or procuring the
parties to this Lease. Upon execution of this Lease by both Landlord and Tenant, Landlord will pay
Broker(s) a commission of 1/4 of 1 month pursuant to the agreement between the Landlord and the
Broker(s). Upon execution of any extensions or renewal of this Lease, or expansions of the
Premises, Landlord will pay Broker(s) a commission of 1/2 of 1 month per year on all rents to be
received for any such extensions or renewals and on all increases in the amount of rent due
Landlord as a result of any expansions of the Premises. If Tenant purchases the Premises, Landlord
shall pay Broker(s) a commission of 3.5% less the commission on the lease agreement.

     þ (Check if applies) Compensation to the Broker(s) will be paid by Seller.

     25. HOLDING OVER: If Tenant holds over after the Term or any renewal or extension thereof,
Tenant will pay a minimum of double rent for the entire hold-over period, unless Landlord and
Tenant enter a written “hold-over agreement” expressly identified as such. Tenant shall be deemed
a trespasser and shall have no right to the Premises whatsoever. Tenant shall further be liable to
Landlord for all direct and consequential damages caused by such hold-over and for all attorney’s
fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing its right under this Lease.

     26. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING: Tenant may not assign this Lease or allow it to be assigned by
operation of law or otherwise, or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or use or permit the
Premises to be used for any purpose not permitted by this Lease without the prior written consent
of Landlord to each such assignment, sublease, or change in use, which consent will not be
unreasonable withheld.

     27. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE: Tenant shall, from time to time upon not less than ten (10) days’
prior written request by Landlord, deliver to Landlord a written certificate stating as follows:
that this Lease Is unmodified and in full force, or if modified, that the Lease as modified is in
full force, the dates to which rent or other charges have been paid, and that Landlord is not in
default under this Lease except for such defaults, if any, described in detail in such certificate.

     28. SUBORDINATION: If Landlord holds title to the Premises under a lease, then this Lease, as
a sublease, shall remain subject to the terms of the underlying lease. This Lease

7

 

shall also be subject and subordinate in law and equity to any existing or future mortgage or
deed of trust placed by Landlord upon these Premises or the property of which the Premises form a
part. Upon request, Tenant shall execute any documents reasonable required to confirm such
subordination.

     29. QUIET POSSESSION: Landlord agrees that if Tenant performs full all of its obligations
under this Lease, Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises;
provided that such covenant of quiet enjoyment shall only bind the named Landlord, its heirs,
successors, or assigns during such party’s ownership of the Premises. Landlord and Tenant further
represent that each has full right, title, power and authority to make, execute and deliver this
Lease.

     30. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS: All the covenants, agreements and conditions herein contained
shall extend to and be binding upon the respective successors, heirs, executors, administrators,
assigns, receivers or other personal representatives of the parties to this Lease. Neither this
Lease nor any interest therein shall pass to any trustee or receiver in bankruptcy or to another
receiver or assignee for the benefit of creditors by operation of law or otherwise. Upon request,
Tenant shall attorn to any successor to Landlord and shall execute any documents reasonable
requires to carry out such attornment.

     31. INTEREST: All unpaid amounts due Landlord under this Lease shall bear interest at the
rate of 25% percent per year from the due date until paid.

     32. ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This Lease supersedes all prior negotiations and agreements between the
parties hereto. The parties have made no representations, warranties, understandings or agreements
other than those expressly set forth herein.

     33. AMENDMENTS: This Lease may be amended or modified in whole or in part only by a written
agreement executed in the same manner as this Lease and making specific reference hereto.

     34. CONSTRUCTION: Unless the context otherwise requires, when used in the Lease, the singular
includes the plural and vice versa, and the masculine includes the feminine and neuter and vice
versa. A person is deemed to include and individual or entity. If any provisions of this Lease be
officially found to be contrary to law, or void as against public policy or otherwise, such
provisions shall be either modified to conform to the laws or considered severable with the
remaining provisions thereof continuing in full force. The titles and headings in this Lease are
used only to facilitate reference, and in no way to define or limit the scope or intent of any of
the provisions of this Lease. This Lease may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which
taken together shall constitute one instrument. All Riders attached to this Lease and signed or
initialed by Landlord and Tenant are incorporated herein by reference. This Lease shall be
governed by the internal laws of Missouri.

12. Confidentiality. 

	 	a)	 	Each party hereto acknowledges that from time to time it will have access to
certain confidential and proprietary information and systems of the other that is
generally not available to or known by the public, in which each party has a
legitimate protectable interest, and that has particular value to the parties, the
disclosure of which could be harmful to each
party’s respective interests (the “Confidential Information”). Confidential
Information means any and all information, whether disclosed in writing or orally,
heretofore or hereafter designated as confidential by either party and/or any other
information or systems relating to either party which is of a private or
proprietary nature or character. Such Confidential Information may include, but is
not limited to: CROSSMARK’s proprietary computer software and its sales planning
and execution processes, information and/or knowledge regarding products,
processes, techniques, trade secrets, strategies and programs, financial data,
vendor and customer relationships, methods of operation and other information or
materials in any form proprietary to either party. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, Confidential Information does not include information
which:

	 	(i)	 	is or becomes generally known or available to the public
through no act or failure to act by the receiving party or its employees or
agents;

			
	 	 	 
	BROKER AGREEMENT BETWEEN CROSSMARK AND All American Pet
	 	PAGE 4

 

 

	 	(ii)	 	is or becomes known to the receiving party from a third party
in rightful possession thereof and owing no obligation of confidentiality to
the disclosing party;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	is or was developed independently by or for the receiving
party, without use of or reference to any Confidential Information of the
Disclosing Party and without violation of any obligation contained herein, by
individuals who had no access to such Confidential Information.

	 	b)	 	Each party hereto covenants and agrees, for itself and its employees, officers
and agents, that both during and after the term of this Agreement it will: (i) not
disclose any Confidential Information to any person or business entity without the
express prior written authorization of the other party; and (ii) not use or allow
third parties to use any Confidential Information for any purpose other than in
connection with the performance of the services hereunder. Each party hereto
acknowledges and agrees that all such Confidential Information is and will remain
the property of the consenting party and will be returned to that party immediately
upon demand.
	 
	 	c)	 	Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that any improper use or disclosure by
it of any part or all of the Confidential Information may cause the other party
economic damage and competitive disadvantage, thereby entitling the damaged party
to maintain an action at law to recover such losses and pursue any other available
remedies. Each party hereto further acknowledges and agrees that the improper use
or disclosure of any part or all of the Confidential Information, or any other
breach of its
obligations regarding the Confidential Information, could cause the other party
injury for which there may not be an adequate remedy at law. Therefore, in the
event of any such breach, the injured party may be entitled, in addition to any
other remedies which it may have hereunder, or at law or in equity, to a temporary
and/or permanent injunction.

	13.	 	Dispute Resolution.

	 	a)	 	Negotiations. The parties agree that they will attempt in good faith to
promptly resolve any controversy, claim, dispute or question between them arising
out of or relating to this Agreement, including its construction or application, by
negotiations between the parties. If a controversy or claim should arise,
representatives of the parties will meet at least once and will attempt to resolve
the matter. Either of these representatives may request the other to meet within
fourteen (14) days, at a mutually agreed time and place.
	 
	 	b)	 	Mediation. If the matter has not been resolved within thirty (30)
days of this meeting, the controversy or claim shall be submitted to mediation by a
mediator chosen from names of mediators furnished by the American Arbitration
Association (“AAA”). If the parties cannot agree on a mediator, they will ask AAA to
select a mediator not previously chosen by either, and such request will be made by
both parties after either party, having attempted to agree with the other party
regarding the selection

			
	 	 	 
	BROKER AGREEMENT BETWEEN CROSSMARK AND All American Pet
	 	PAGE 5

 

 

	 	 	 	of a mediator, determines that agreement cannot be obtained in
the selection of a mediator. The mediation will be non-binding, and will be conducted
under the AAA Rules for Mediation then in effect at a mutually agreed upon time and
place, and each party will pay one-half the mediator’s fee.
	 
	 	c)	 	Waiver of Jury Trial. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, the parties hereby irrevocably and expressly waive all right to a trial by jury
in any action, proceeding, or claim arising out of or relating to (i) this Agreement,

enforcing this Agreement.

written notice to the other party. During such notice period, both parties will

hereafter. Material breach will include, but not be limited to: a) failure to pay;

	 	i)	 	Written notification must be sent by the non-breaching party to the
defaulting party detailing any material breach of this Contract.
	 
	 	ii)	 	In the event CROSSMARK defaults in the performance of its duties
hereunder, All American Pet shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement if CROSSMARK has not cured the default within sixty (60) days
after receipt of written notice from All American Pet specifying the
nature of the default. In the event All American Pet defaults in its
