1. 6. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant, concurrently with the execution of this Lease has deposited with Landlord the sum of twelve thousand dollars ($12,000), (“Security Deposit”). This sum shall be retained by Landlord as security for the payment by Tenant of the Base Rent and other sums payable by Tenant under this Lease (“Additional Rent”) and for the faithful performance by Tenant of all the other terms and conditions of this Lease. Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may at any time apply the Security Deposit or any part thereof toward the payment of the Base Rent and/or Additional Rent and/or toward the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. The Security Deposit is not liquidated damages. Landlord shall return the unused portion of the Security Deposit to Tenant within 30 days after the expiration of the Term if Tenant is not in breach of this Lease. If the Security Deposit is insufficient to cover Landlord’s actual damages, Tenant shall pay on demand to Landlord an amount sufficient to fully compensate Landlord for Tenant’s breach. Landlord may (but is not obligated to) exhaust any or all rights and remedies against Tenant before or after resorting to the Security Deposit. If Landlord makes any application of Tenant’s Security Deposit, Tenant will replenish the amount so applied within ten days after demand from Landlord. Failure to replenish the Security Deposit shall be deemed a default under the Lease. Landlord shall not be required to pay Tenant any interest on the Security Deposit nor hold same in a separate account.
If Landlord sells the Building, Landlord may deliver the Security Deposit or the unapplied portion thereof to the new owner. Tenant agrees that if Landlord turns over the Security Deposit or the unapplied portion thereof to the new owner, Tenant shall look to the new owner only and not to Landlord for the return of the Security Deposit upon expiration of the Term. No mortgagee of the Building will be liable for the return of any portion of the Security Deposit except to the extent actually received by such mortgagee.
Tenant shall, from time to time promptly upon request, furnish to Landlord Tenant’s and any guarantor’s current and past financial statements, certified as being true, accurate and complete. Landlord shall keep such information confidential, but may disclose same to actual or prospective mortgagees and purchasers.
1. 7. PERMITTED USE. Tenant will use and occupy the Premises for administrative offices and warehousing and distribution of electronic cigarettes and related accessories and for no other use or purpose (“Permitted Use”). In addition to the Rules and Regulations set forth in Exhibit C hereto, Tenant shall not suffer or permit the Premises or any part of them to be used in any manner, or suffer or permit anything to be done in or brought into or kept in the Premises, which would in any way: (a) violate any law or requirement of public authorities; (b) cause injury to the Building or any part thereof; (c) constitute a public or private nuisance; (d) alter the appearance of the exterior of the Building or of any portion of the interior other than the Premises pursuant to the provisions of this Lease; or (e) involve the use, generation, storage or disposal of hazardous or toxic materials or substances.
2. 8. TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING. Tenant shall not transfer, assign, mortgage, pledge, or encumber this Lease or sublet the Premises in whole or in part, or permit the Premises to be used or occupied by others, intentionally or by operation of law, without the prior consent in writing of Landlord in each instance, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Tenant is an entity any disposition(s) of the majority of the voting interests therein, or any change in the power to vote the majority of the interests therein, in one or a series of transactions, shall be treated as an assignment of this Lease requiring Tenant to obtain Landlord’s prior written consent thereto. If this Lease is transferred or assigned, or if all or any part of the Premises shall be sublet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may, after default by Tenant, collect Base Rent and Additional Rent from the assignee,

 

 


 

subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the Base Rent and Additional Rent due. Such collection shall not be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to declare Tenant in default of this provision absent Landlord’s express written consent to such assignment or subletting. In the event of any transfer or assignment, Tenant shall continue to be liable in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease and shall not be released from the performance thereof absent Landlord’s written consent to such release. The consent by Landlord to a particular transfer, assignment, mortgage, subletting, pledge, or encumbrance shall not be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express written consent of Landlord to any other such transaction. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord’s actual attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with Tenant’s assignment, subletting, transfer, or encumbrance of this Lease or any interest therein. All cash or other consideration, including any excess Rent beyond the Rent set forth herein, received by Tenant as the proceeds of, or resulting from, any assignment, sale, or sublease of Tenant’s interest in this Lease and/or the Premises, whether consented to by Landlord or not, shall be paid to Landlord, notwithstanding the fact that such proceeds exceed the Rent called for hereunder, unless Landlord agrees to the contrary in writing, and Tenant hereby assigns all rights it might have or ever acquire in any such proceeds to Landlord.
3. 9. SERVICES; FORCE MAJEURE:
A. A. Landlord agrees to furnish Tenant, while Tenant is occupying the Premises and during such time as Tenant is not in default or breach of the Lease, the following services, subject to the terms of this Lease:
i. (i) Omitted.
ii. (ii) Electric lighting for public areas and service areas of the Building as may in the judgment of Landlord be reasonably required. Tenant shall pay for the cost of electric and water consumed within the demised premises. Tenant will permit Landlord access to the timer controlling the lights for the public areas with reasonable notice to Tenant so Landlord may adjust same at Landlord’s reasonable discretion.
It is understood that Landlord does not warrant that any of the services referred to above, or any other services which Landlord may supply, will be free from interruption. Tenant acknowledges that any one or more of such services and other Landlord obligations hereunder may be suspended or delayed by reason of accident or repairs, alterations or improvements necessary to be made, or by strikes or lockouts, or by reason of operation of law, or other causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. No such interruption or discontinuance of service or delay with respect to other Landlord obligation shall be deemed a breach hereunder by Landlord, an eviction or a disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or any part thereof, or render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages by abatement of Base Rent or any Additional Rent or otherwise, or relieve Tenant from the performance of any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
i. 10. REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS. After receipt from Tenant of written notice of the need therefore, Landlord, at its expense, shall make necessary repairs to the foundation, outer walls, interior load bearing walls and roof of the Building and the Building’s Common Areas. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall be released of its obligation under this Paragraph if the need for repair was caused by, or Landlord’s repair is disturbed, by: (i) the misuse, improper conduct, omission or neglect of Tenant, its subtenants, agents, servants, employees, contractors, invitees or licensees (collectively, “Tenant’s Agents”); and/or (ii) any improvements or changes in or to the Premises made by or for Tenant.

 

 


 

Tenant, at its expense, shall keep the Premises (and any Building systems located outside the Premises and which exclusively serve the Premises) in good order and condition and shall make all repairs therein and thereto which are not required of Landlord pursuant to the immediately preceding Paragraph. Tenant shall maintain and repair the heating, air conditioning and ventilation (HVAC) serving the Demised Premises and contract with licensed HVAC repair company to perform monthly maintenance of same. Tenant shall maintain and repair plumbing, lighting and electrical systems within the Demised Premises except any change to electrical or plumbing due to the building not meeting Building Code which change is not related to work done by Tenant.

All alterations, fixtures or improvements, except office furniture, other personal property and fixtures which shall be readily removable without injury to the Premises, shall be and remain a part of the Premises at the end of the Term, unless Landlord, by written notice given to Tenant at least thirty (30) days before the end of the Term, elects to have all or any of the same removed, in which case Tenant shall remove the same at its expense. In all events, Tenant shall promptly repair all damage caused in connection with any removal provided for by this Paragraph.
i. 11. DELAY OF POSSESSION. If Landlord is unable to give possession of the Premises by reason of the holding over of any prior tenant or for any other reason other than the action or inaction of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, so long as such inability continues, a per diem abatement of Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be allowed to Tenant if such inability to deliver possession continues beyond the scheduled date for Rent to commence hereunder, but nothing shall operate to extend the Term and said abatement shall be the full extent of Landlord’s liability to Tenant on account of delay in Tenant’s obtaining possession of the Premises.
ii. 12. CHARGES DEEMED ADDITIONAL RENT. All charges to Tenant by Landlord for services or for work done on the Premises by order of Tenant, or otherwise accruing under this Lease, shall be considered as Additional Rent and be collectible as such.
iii. 13. FIRE OR CASUALTY. If the Premises shall be rendered untenantable by fire or other casualty during the Term, Landlord shall have 270 days from the date on which the Premises are rendered untenantable to make the Premises tenantable. Landlord shall have the right to utilize all insurance proceeds required for leasehold improvements as specified in Paragraph 20 of the Lease. If the Premises cannot, in the judgment of Landlord, be made tenantable within that time, Landlord shall, upon reaching such judgment, give notice to Tenant that the Premises cannot be made tenantable within 270 days. In such event either party may terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to the other party within 10 days after the giving of such notice by Landlord. Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace any part of the partitions, fixtures or other improvements which

 

 


 

may have previously been placed in the Premises by Tenant. In the event of termination, Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be paid only to the date of the fire or casualty. During any time that the Premises are untenantable due to causes set forth in this Paragraph, Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, even if the Premises are not rendered untenantable in whole or in part by fire or other casualty, Landlord will have the right to terminate this Lease upon 10 days’ prior written notice to Tenant if (i) the Building is substantially destroyed and Landlord decides not to restore it or to restore it in such a way as to materially alter the Premises, (ii) the insurance proceeds available to Landlord to restore the Building are, in Landlord’s opinion, inadequate to do so or (iii) less than 12 months remains on this Lease at the time the restoration will be completed.

ii. 15. LATE PAYMENT DAMAGE AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES. Tenant agrees to promptly pay all Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges that accrue under this Lease. If any monies shall remain unpaid for 5 days after the same become due and payable, without waiving such default or any other available rights and remedies, Landlord shall be entitled to a late charge of 18% per annum of the payment overdue, computed on a per diem basis from the date it was due and a late fee of 5% of the payment overdue.

Should any monies collected by Landlord pursuant to any of the provisions of this Paragraph be insufficient to fully pay to Landlord a sum equal to all Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges reserved herein, Tenant shall remain liable for any such deficiency and the right of Landlord to recover from Tenant the amount thereof or a sum equal to all Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges reserved herein shall survive the issuance of any dispossessory warrant or other termination hereof.

 

 


 

Tenant, for and on behalf of itself, and all persons claiming through or under Tenant, waives any and all right of redemption or re-entry or repossession or to restore the operation of this Lease in case Tenant shall be disposed by judgment or by warrant of any court or judge or in case of re-entry or repossession by Landlord and Landlord and Tenant, so far as permitted by law, waive and will waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises or any claim of injury or damage.
The rights of Landlord as contained in this Paragraph 16 shall survive any termination of this Lease.
i. 17. NO WAIVER AND CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No waiver of any provision of this Lease by either party shall be deemed to imply or constitute a further waiver by such party of the same or any other provision hereof. The rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive and the use of one shall not be taken to exclude or waive the right of use of another, and Landlord shall be entitled to pursue all rights and remedies available to landlords under the laws of the State of Florida. Landlord may accept partial payments without waiving any rights and without same constituting a waiver of Tenant’s default.
ii. 18. RIGHT OF ENTRY. Landlord, or any of its agents, shall have the right (but not the obligation) to enter the Premises during all reasonable hours, and after reasonable prior notice (which need not be written), to examine the same or to make such repairs, additions or alterations as Landlord may deem necessary. In the event of an emergency, Landlord or its agents may (but shall not be obligated to) enter the Premises at any time without notice to appraise and correct the emergency condition. Tenant also grants Landlord or its agents the right after reasonable prior notice (which need not be written) to exhibit the Premises at any time within 180 days before the expiration of the Term.
iii. 19. PERSONAL PROPERTY. All personal property placed or moved into the Building or parking area shall be at the risk of Tenant or other owner and Landlord shall not be liable for any damage to personal property, or to Tenant, arising from the bursting or leaking of water pipes or otherwise from any act or omission of any cotenant or occupant of the Building or of any other person. Any damages to the Building arising out of Tenant’s bringing of personal property into the Building shall be repaired by Landlord at the sole cost and expense of Tenant.
iv. 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF LANDLORD; INSURANCE; SUBROGATION WAIVER. Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord and its managing agent, if any, against all liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees through all appellate actions and proceedings) arising from or in any way connected with the Premises or any acts, omissions, neglect or fault of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Agents including but not limited to any breach of this Lease and any death, personal injury or property damage occurring in or about the Premises or other part of the Building, including the parking and outside areas, and the introduction of or disturbance of any existing hazardous or toxic materials or substances.

 

 


 

Tenant agrees that, at all times during the Term (as well as prior and subsequent thereto if Tenant or any of Tenant’s Agents shall then use or occupy any portion of the Premises), it shall keep in force, with an insurance company licensed to do business in the State in which the Premises are located, which insurance company shall be acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion, commercial general liability and special form property insurance for Tenant’s personalty and leasehold improvements in a combined single limit of not less than $2,000,000 for bodily injury and property damage per occurrence as to liability and 100% full replacement cost as to property damage (without deductible insofar as liability coverage is concerned). Tenant shall also maintain throughout the Term worker’s compensation insurance with not less than the maximum statutory limits of coverage; employee’s non-owned and hired vehicle insurance for any non-owned vehicles that are used by Tenant’s employees in the course of Tenant’s business in an amount of not less than $1,000,000; if Tenant owns or leases any vehicles used in the operation of its business, commercial automobile insurance in an amount of not less than $1,000,000; business interruption insurance sufficient to cover Tenant’s overhead and payroll for at least six months; and such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require and as is customarily carried by businesses similar to Tenant’s business, in such amounts and conditions as Landlord may reasonably require. Such policies shall: (a) include Landlord, its managing agent, and such other parties as Landlord may designate as parties insured; (b) be considered primary insurance; and (c) provide that it may not be cancelled or changed without at least 30 days’ prior written notice from the insurer to each party insured thereunder; and (c) in the case of insurance covering the Building interior improvements name Landlord as Loss Payee. Landlord understands and agrees that Tenant shall not be responsible for any payment for property insurance for the building itself except as outlined above.
Upon request from time to time, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with duplicate original certificates of all such paid-up insurance. In the event of damage to or destruction of the Premises, Tenant shall have the obligation promptly to repair or restore Tenant’s property to its original or better condition.
Each party shall look first to any insurance in its favor before making any claim against the other party for recovery for loss or damage resulting from fire or other casualty; Landlord and Tenant each hereby releases and waives all right of recovery against the other or any one claiming through or under each of them by way of subrogation or otherwise. The foregoing release and waiver shall be in force only if both releasors’ insurance policies provide that such a release or waiver shall not invalidate the insurance, and each party hereby agrees to obtain such a clause or an endorsement of like effect (so long as the same shall be obtainable) and furnish evidence thereof to the other party from time to time upon request. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is not obligated to carry insurance on Tenant’s furniture, furnishings, fixtures, equipment and/or improvements, and agrees that Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same.
i. 21. LANDLORD’S MORTGAGE; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE; SUBORDINATION. Landlord shall have the unrestricted right to sell, lease, mortgage and refinance the Building.

This statement, commonly known as an estoppel certificate, is intended to be for the benefit of Landlord, any Purchaser, lessor of the Building or mortgagee of Landlord, and any purchaser or assignee of Landlord’s mortgagee. The estoppel certificate will also contain such other information as Landlord or its mortgagee or the Purchaser or the lessor may reasonably request.

 

 


 

This Lease is and at all times shall be subject and subordinate to all present and future mortgages and long term leases which may affect the Building, and to all recastings, renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, and extensions of any such mortgage(s). The foregoing shall be self-operative and any mortgagee shall require no further instrument of subordination. In addition to the foregoing, at Landlord’s request, Tenant will execute any instruments and/or certificates required to carry out the intent hereof. In addition to all other remedies, if Tenant fails at any time to execute any such instrument, Landlord is hereby irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest) on behalf of Tenant with full power and authority on behalf of Tenant to subordinate this Lease to any present or future mortgage or other lien on the Premises or the Building.
