Dear Mr. Raju:
The Pressroom LLC’s (Pressroom) continued occupancy of 441 West Madison Street (Premises) is contingent
upon compliance with the terms and conditions of Maricopa County (County) Lease No. MC10192 (Lease) and
all applicable laws and regulations. In addition, as communicated to you and Cahleb Branch, Director of

It is the County’s understanding that an unpermitted event was held at the Premises on Saturday January 16, 2021,

Given the facts stated above, this letter serves as notice that the Pressroom is in default under Section 8.3 of the
