ADDENDUM
          This is an Addendum to that certain Lease Agreement dated June 18, 2002, by and between Blount Realty Partners, Ltd. (“LANDLORD”) and Gulfstream International Airlines, Inc., a Florida Corporation (“TENANT”).
1.) Electricity Charge: Electricity service for the demised premises, as of the date of the lease, is on a common meter with the adjacent Store No. 2. An on-demand meter monitors usage at the spaces (Store 2 and Store 3). The Landlord will furnish the Tenant with a monthly bill for electricity charges based on a pro-rata share of the total monthly charge. For purposes of this electricity tenant charge calculation, the pro-rata share for the demised premises is 51 percent (1,900 / 3,700 = 51). On a semi-annual basis, the Landlord will read the on-demand meter and make any adjustment based or actual electrical usage for the previous six month period. This monthly electrical charge and semi-annual electrical adjustment shall be considered additional rent under the terms of this lease. The Landlord shall have the option, but not the obligation to install a separate meter for each space (Store 2 and Store 3) in the future. If separate meters are eventually installed, this clause shall be void and the Tenant will be responsible for opening a segregated electricity account under the Tenant’s name and shall be responsible for all electricity charges and deposits associated with this account.
2.) Water and Sewer Charge: Water and sewer service for the demised premises, as of the date of the lease, is on a common meter with the adjacent Store No. 2. The Landlord will furnish the Tenant with a quarterly bill for water and sewer charges based on a pro-rata share of the total monthly charge. For purposes of this water and sewer tenant charge calculation, the pro-rata share for the demised premises is 51 percent (1,900 / 3,700 = .51). This quarterly water and sewer charge shall be considered additional rent under the terms of this lease. The Landlord shall have the option, but not the obligation to install a separate water meter for each space (Store 2 and Store 3) in the future. If separate meters are eventually installed, this clause shall be void and the Tenant will be responsible for opening a segregated water and sewer account under the Tenant’s name and shall be responsible for all water and sewer charges and deposits associated with this account.
3.) Rent Abatement Period: During only the first and second month of the first year of this lease, no rent will be due. All other terms and conditions of said lease will remain the same.
4.) Option Period: Provided the Tenant is current in rent and is not otherwise at that time in default, Tenant shall have the option to renew this lease for an additional term of two years (2) upon expiration of the initial lease term, upon the following terms and conditions:

 


 

Addendum (continued)
All of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease will apply during the option period, except for the rent which shall be as follows:
Year 1 of Option Period: $4,388.00 per month, plus sales tax commencing on August 1, 2005 for the first option year (August 1, 2005 to July 31, 2006);
Year 2 of Option Period: $4,541.00 per month, plus sales tax commencing on August 1, 2006 for the first option year (August 1, 2006 to July 31, 2007);
5) Notice in writing shall be given at least one hundred twenty (120) days in advance of the expiration of the term of this lease by the Tenant to Landlord of Tenant’s exercise of this option.
6) Security Deposit: If the Tenant is current in all rental payments and not in default under the terms of the lease at the end of the 18th month of the initial lease term, then Landlord shall refund $7,916.00 of the original security deposit to the Tenant. The refund shall be made in the form of a credit toward the Tenant’s rent payment for the 19th and 20th month of the lease. After the refund, the Tenant shall have a total sum deposited with the Landlord, as security deposit, of $15,832.00 All other terms and conditions pertaining to “Deposit” under Paragraph No. 3 of the lease shall remain in full force and effect.
7) A Delay in granting possession: If LANDLORD is unable to give possession of the Premises on the Commencement Date by reason of LANDLORD’s Work not being completed or for any other reason, an abatement of the rent to be paid hereunder shall be allowed to TENANT under such circumstance until LANDLORD gives possession of the Premises to TENANT; but nothing herein shall operate to extend the term of this Lease, and said abatement in rent shall be the full extent of LANDLORD’s liability to TENANT for any loss or damage to TENANT on account of said delay in obtaining possession of the Premises. If LANDLORD is unable to give possession of the Premises to TENANT within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Commencement Date, the TENANT shall have the right to cancel this Lease upon written notice thereof delivered to LANDLORD within ten (10) days after the lapse of said 120 day period. Upon such cancellation, LANDLORD and TENANT shall each be released and discharged from all liability under this Lease and any security deposit given by TENANT shall be returned.
