Section 1.  Premises:  The Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, subject to the terms and conditions in this Lease and subject to all zoning ordinances and restrictions and reservations of record, the following described property (“Premises”):

24,549 square feet, more or less, located at 6531 Northwest 18th Court, Plantation, Florida  33313, as described in greater detail on Exhibit A, of which the parties agree that the rentable square footage shall be deemed to be 24,000.

The Premises is being leased in “AS IS” condition except as otherwise specifically provided herein.  Landlord has made no representations to Tenant regarding the condition of the Premises, and Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant has, prior to the date hereof, undertaken all inquiry, which Tenant deems appropriate under the circumstances to determine the actual condition of the Premises.

Section 2.  Term:  Tenant shall have and hold the Premises for a term beginning on the Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined) and terminating on the Expiration Date (as hereinafter defined) unless extended in accordance with this Lease or sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof (the “Term”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may cancel this Lease without penalty or fault upon 180 days prior written notice given to the other party, to be effective on the first day of the month following the expiration of said 180 day period.

Section 3.  Commencement and Expiration Dates:  The date of commencement of the Term of this Lease (the “Commencement Date”) shall be the date first written above.  The date of the expiration of the Term of this Lease shall be that date which completes five (5) years from the Commencement Date except that in the event that the Commencement Date is a date other than the first day of a calendar month, said term shall be extended for the number of days equal to the remainder of the calendar month following the Commencement Date (the “Expiration Date”).  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Lease Year” shall mean:  for the first year, the period beginning on the Commencement Date and ending on the first annual anniversary of the last day of the month in which the Commencement Date falls (unless the Commencement Date falls on the first day of a month, in which case the first Lease Year shall end on the first annual anniversary of the month-end preceding the Commencement Date); and for subsequent years, the twelve month period ending on each annual anniversary within the lease term of the final day of the first Lease Year.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that certain obligations under various articles of this lease may commence prior to the Commencement Date of the lease term and agree that this is a binding and enforceable agreement as of the date Landlord and Tenant execute this Lease.

Section 4.  Rental:  Commencing on the first day of the seventh month of the first Lease Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Minimum Annual Rent (the “Minimum Annual Rent”) for the balance of

 

 

the first Lease Year the sum of $12.00 per square foot, payable in monthly installments of $24,000, plus applicable sales tax.  Thereafter, rental shall be due on the first day of each calendar month.  No Minimum Annual Rent shall be due for the first six months of the Term.  All rent shall be due in advance and without demand, deduction or setoff.  All rent shall be paid at the Landlord’s address listed below, or to such other address or place designated by Landlord by written notice to Tenant.

Section 5.  Annual Rent Escalations:  During the term and any renewal term of this Lease, the Minimum Annual Rent shall be increased every year.  Commencing with the first day of the second Lease Year and on each Lease Year anniversary thereafter, the Minimum Annual Rent shall be cumulatively increased by $24,000 per each Lease Year ($1.00 per rentable square foot), plus applicable sales tax.

Section 6.  Sales Tax:  Together with each monthly payment of Minimum Annual Rent, Tenant shall pay Landlord any and all applicable sales and/or excise taxes due thereon.

Section 7. Partial Months’ Rental:  If the Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the first day of the month, then the monthly installment of Minimum Annual Rent shall be prorated for such partial month(s) on a per diem basis. Together with each partial months’ rental, Tenant shall pay Landlord any and all applicable sales and/or excise taxes due thereon.

Section 8.  Type of Lease:  Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, the Minimum Annual Rental is to be paid to Landlord net of taxes, insurance and maintenance.  This is a “triple net lease” in that Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of taxes, insurance, maintenance, utilities and all other charges, except for those items of maintenance which are specifically made the responsibility of the Landlord in this Lease.

Section 9.  Taxes:  Tenant agrees to pay when due, Tenant’s full proportionate share as determined pursuant to this Section of all ad valorem and non-ad valorem taxes and assessments, special or otherwise, which may be levied or assessed by any lawful authority against the Premises (“Taxes”) plus all applicable sales and excise taxes due thereon.  For the calendar years in which the Commencement and Expiration Dates occur, the taxes and assessments for such calendar year shall be prorated between Landlord and Tenant based upon the number of days of the lease term during said calendar year and regardless of the due date of the tax or assessment, such tax or assessment shall be deemed to have been assessed prorata throughout the Lease Year.  Tenant shall be responsible for any other taxes, including tangible personal property taxes, in keeping with the character of this Lease as a triple net lease.  Tenant shall pay all Taxes directly to the governmental authority on or before the due date and Tenant shall provide Landlord with proof of payment of such Taxes.

Section 10.  Roof Repairs:  The parties acknowledge that certain roof repairs required on the Premises have been made by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost in the amount of $23,800.  A copy of the contract and cancelled checks evidencing such repairs and payment thereof is attached as Exhibit 1.

Section 12.  Utilities and Dues:  Tenant shall pay all water, trash disposal, gas, electricity, fuel, light, heat, power and all other utility bills for the Premises, for all other services and materials used by Tenant in connection therewith, and for all association dues and similar charges, when due.  If Tenant does not pay the same when due, Landlord may pay the same on Tenant's account and Tenant hereby agrees to reimburse Landlord for any sums so expended by Landlord with the next monthly installment of Minimum Annual Rent due thereafter.  Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall not be obligated to supply or obtain, nor shall Landlord be liable for, nor shall Rent abate by reason of, any failure to furnish, or suspension or delays in furnishing, any utility service to the Premises.

Section 13.  Late Charges:  Any installment of Minimum Annual Rent or other amount payable pursuant to this Lease which is not paid when due shall thereafter bear interest at the rate of twelve-percent (12%) per annum until paid.  In addition, for each installment of Minimum Annual Rent or other amount payable pursuant to this Lease which is not paid by the fifth (5th) day after it becomes due, Tenant shall be obligated to pay to Landlord an administrative fee equal to five percent (5%) of such amounts to cover the cost of handling and processing such late payments.  In the event that any such interest or late charge is deemed to exceed the maximum legally allowable charge under applicable state law, such charge shall be reduced to the maximum legally allowable charge.  Collection of late charges shall not constitute a waiver of any other right or remedy available to Landlord for non-payment or late payment.

(c)           Temporary Taking. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the requisition of the Premises or any part thereof by military or other public authority for purposes arising out of a temporary emergency or other temporary situation or circumstances shall constitute a taking of the Premises by eminent domain only when the use or occupancy by the requisitioning authority is expressly provided to continue, or shall in fact have continued, for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days or more, and if the Lease is not thereafter terminated under the foregoing provisions of this Section, then for the duration of any period of use and occupancy of the Premises by the requisitioning authority, all the terms and provisions of this Lease and obligations of Tenant hereunder shall remain in full force and effect, except that the Minimum Annual Rent shall be reduced in the same proportion that the floor area of the Premises so requisitioned bears to the total floor area of the Premises, and Landlord shall be entitled to whatever compensation may be payable from the requisitioning authority for the use and occupation of the Premises for the period involved.

Landlord shall have the exclusive right to receive any and all awards made for damages to the Premises accruing by reason of a taking or by reason of anything lawfully done in pursuance of public or other authority.

Section 32.  Landlord's Remedies Upon Default:  For the occurrence of an Event of Default by the Tenant under this Lease, the Landlord may, at his option, without notice to Tenant and without limiting any other right or remedy in law or in equity:

(a)           treat the Lease as terminated and resume possession of the Premises, thereafter using the same exclusively for Landlord's own purposes, in which case Tenant shall not be liable for any rent accruing thereafter, however, Tenant shall remain liable for and shall pay to Landlord rental accrued prior to Landlord resuming possession together with any damage to the Premises or other damages and charges, as provided in this Lease;

(b)           retake possession of the Premises for the account of the Tenant, holding the Tenant liable for damages, including the difference between the rentals and other charges stipulated to be paid and the net amount which Landlord recovers from reletting the Premises in which case Landlord may accelerate and declare immediately due and payable the balance of rent and other charges for the remainder of the lease term or Landlord may collect such rent and other charges as and when the same shall become due.

(c)           not retake possession of the Premises, instead holding the Tenant liable for the balance of rent due for the remainder of the lease term together with all other damages and charges provided for in this Lease, in which case, Landlord may accelerate and declare immediately due and payable all remaining rent and other charges for the balance of the lease term.

In the event Landlord chooses option (b) above, Landlord may make such additions, alterations or improvements as Landlord in its sole discretion deems reasonable and may grant concessions and rental incentives to new tenants as Landlord deems reasonable and may pay real estate commissions to relet the Premises the costs of which shall be amortized over the primary term of any new lease in order to determine the net rentals which Landlord recovered from a reletting of the Premises.

In the event Landlord chooses option (c) above and Tenant does not pay all accelerated sums within ten (10) days of demand, the Landlord may obtain possession of and relet the Premises and apply any rental collected to the outstanding balance or judgment without releasing Tenant from liability therefore.

In the event Landlord accelerates future rental payments as provided above, the parties agree that the amount of monthly rental, tax and insurance payments as of the date of acceleration, plus any applicable sales tax, shall be multiplied by the number of months remaining in the lease term in order to determine the accelerated amount due.  The parties agree that no reduction to present value of the future rental income shall be made.  In exchange, Landlord shall forego the collection of future increases in rental and other charges.
