To: Commercial Print & Copier Lessor — Lease Administration, Portfolio Management & Billing Subject: PROTECTIVE NOTICE AGAINST EVERGREEN AUTO-RENEWAL & LEASE RATE RESTRUCTURE — Commercial Print & Copier Lessor ($850/mo) Please record this letter as our formal protective Notice of Non-Renewal and commercial rate-restructure request regarding our Commercial Copier, Multifunction Printer & Managed Print Leases agreement (currently billed at $850/month or $30,600 over a 36-month cycle). 1. Evergreen Auto-Renewal Opt-Out: We hereby opt out of any automatic evergreen term extension or post-maturity continuation at original lease rates. Please confirm in writing that automatic renewal is disabled on our lease schedule. 2. Surcharge & Escalation Audit: Our 2026 commercial lease audit identified Evergreen 12-Month Auto-Renewal + 15% Annual Per-Page Click Escalation + Return Freight Trap (30% Target Reduction). We are submitting our commercial property Certificate of Insurance (COI) to waive any lessor-placed insurance surcharges and require removal of annual service/consumable escalation riders. 3. Renewal / Buyout Counter-Offer: Rather than crating and returning the existing equipment at term end and transitioning to a competing vendor, we are prepared to execute a restructured schedule or buyout addendum at a benchmark rate of $595/month ($21,420 over 36 months, saving $9,180 or 30%) with 0% annual escalation and a capped $1 / fixed residual buyout. Please reply within 5 business days with written confirmation of our non-renewal opt-out and a revised lease/buyout schedule reflecting the $595/month benchmark target.
