Text: ¶ 24. Since the Lease Agreement is not ambiguous or subject to more than one reasonable interpretation, we do not reach Facilities' alternative argument considering extrinsic or parol evidence. ¶ 25. However, as mentioned supra, footnotes 2 & 4, although the Court of Appeals held that the Lease Agreement was not ambiguous, it is clear from the recitation of facts and procedural history and its analysis, that the foundation of its opinion is based on the consideration of evidence outside the four corners of the Lease Agreement. Only when an appellate court is unable to determine the parties' intent should extrinsic or parol evidence be reviewed. Pursue Energy Corp., 558 So.2d at 353. Because the Court of Appeals found the Lease Agreement to be unambiguous, it was error for the Court of Appeals to view or consider evidence outside the four corners of the contract.
