Dear Ms. McGinness:
Please take notice that the Town of Southold CTown") intends to terminate the
Agreement dated April 1, 2008 between the Town and the North Fork Animal Welfare
League, Inc. ("NFAWL") as of May 15, 2010, pursuant to paragraph 3(f) of the

paragraphs l(a), 1(0 and l(g);

If the above violations continue to exist, the Agreement will terminate on May 15,
2010, at which time NFAWL will be required to surrender the Town's Animal Shelter and
deliver to the Town any and all Town property in NFAWL's possession.
