termination notice to DCP, and upon the date specified in such notice, the Term of this Lease

Property, Owner and DCP agree first to try in good faith to settle the dispute by mediation at the
election of DCP. The parties shall use a mediation expert reasonably acceptable to both sides and

pursuit of such remedies to recover the costs of mediation incurred by Owner hereunder.
Section 17. Waivers. Failure of Owner or DCP to complain of any act or omission on
the part of the other party, no matter how long the same may continue, shall not be deemed to be
a waiver by said party of any of its rights hereunder. No waiver by Owner or DCP at any time,
express or implied, of any breach of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed a waiver of a
breach of any other provisions of this Lease or a consent to any subsequent breach of the same or
any other provision. No acceptance by Owner of any partial payment shall constitute an accord
or satisfaction but shall only be deemed a part payment on account.

hindered in, or prevented from the performance of, any act required hereunder by reason of
strikes, lockouts, labor troubles, inability to procure materials, failure of power, restrictive
governmental laws or regulations, riots, insurrection, war or other reason beyond their control,
then performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay and the period for the
performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay.
