LEASE AGREEMENT

 

THIS LEASE AGREEMENT (this “Lease”) dated as of April 19, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), is by and between 6 LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Landlord”), and Renovo Resource Solutions, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Tenant”).

 

Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I

PREMISES

 

1.1 Premises. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Lease, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, the real property described on Exhibit A (the “Land”) and located at 3324 63rd Avenue East, Bradenton, Florida 34203, including, without limitation, the building currently located on the Land (the “Building”), and all other structures, and other improvements located on the Land (together with the Building, collectively, the “Improvements”). The Land and the Improvements are, collectively, the “Premises”.

 

ARTICLE II

TERM

 

2.1 Term. The initial term of this Lease (the “Initial Term”) shall be twenty-four (24) months, commencing on the Effective Date (also referred to as the “Commencement Date”). Tenant shall have the right, at its election, to extend the term of this Lease for an additional period of five (5) years commencing upon the expiration of the Initial Term (“Extension Term”), provided that Landlord shall receive written notice from Tenant of the exercise of its election at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term and provided further that Tenant shall not be in default at the time of Landlord's receipt of such notice in the performance or observance of any of the material terms of this Lease contained on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed. The Initial Term, any renewal by exercise of the Extension Term, and any other renewals of this Lease mutually agreed upon between Landlord and Tenant pursuant to a written amendment to this Lease are, collectively, the “Term.”

 

ARTICLE III

RENT

 

3.1 Rent. During the Initial Term, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Fixed Rent (the “Fixed Rent”), the annual sum of $480,000.00, in equal monthly installments of $40,000.00. If the Extension Term is exercised, the Fixed Rent during the Extension Term shall increase on each anniversary of the Commencement Date by three percent (3%), with the first increase beginning on the third anniversary of the Commencement Date. The Fixed Rent for each calendar month during the Term shall be due on or before the first day of such calendar month. The Fixed Rent and any other amounts owed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease are, collectively, the “Rent.” Tenant shall pay make all Rent payments to Landlord at the address listed in Section 18.8, or to such other address as Landlord may from time to time designate by written notice to Tenant.

 

3.2 Taxes on Rent Included in Fixed Rent. Tenant’s Fixed Rent obligation is inclusive of all applicable sales taxes such that Tenant shall not be required to pay any amounts over and above the Fixed Rent. Landlord shall deduct from the Fixed Rent and timely remit all applicable sales taxes levied, assessed, or payable on the Fixed Rent.

3.3 Late Charges. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Fixed Rent due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amounts of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any Fixed Rent due from Tenant is not received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within ten (10) days after such amount is due, then, without any requirement for notice to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such overdue amount. The parties agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of any Event of Default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted by this Lease.

If a Taking occurs during the Term that, in the reasonable judgment of Tenant, interferes with the use of the Premises for Tenant’s intended use (a “Substantial Taking”), Tenant may, at its option and upon written notice to Landlord, terminate this Lease as of the date title of any of the Premises subject to such Taking is transferred to the condemning authority (the “Taking Date”).

 

14.3 Continuation of Lease. If a Taking occurs during the Term that is not a Substantial Taking, or if a Substantial Taking occurs but Tenant fails to exercise its termination option according to Section 14.2, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect according to its terms, except that, effective as of the Taking Date, this Lease shall terminate automatically as to any portion of the Premises taken, and the Rent payable during the remaining Term shall be adjusted equitably in proportion to the area taken.

 

14.4 Reconstruction. If a Taking occurs that is not a Substantial Taking, or if a Substantial Taking occurs but Tenant fails to exercise its termination option according to Section 14.2, Landlord shall proceed diligently to repair and restore the Improvements on the Land not so taken to the condition that existed immediately prior to the Taking or, if the Premises are not capable of being so repaired and restored, as closely to such condition as is reasonably practicable, and the Rent payable during the remaining Term shall be adjusted equitably in proportion to the area taken.

ARTICLE XV

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

 

15.1 Assignment and Subletting. Tenant shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or encumber all or any part of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or in the Premises or Tenant’s possession thereof (each a “Transfer”) without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. If Tenant desires to Transfer any interest, Tenant shall first notify Landlord of its desire to do so and shall submit in writing to Landlord: (i) the name of the proposed transferee; (ii) the nature of the proposed transferee’s business to be conducted on the Premises; (iii) the terms of the proposed Transfer; and (iv) such financial information as Landlord may request concerning the proposed transferee. If Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership, the transfer, assignment or hypothecation of any stock or interest in such entity in the aggregate in excess of fifty percent (50%), or resulting in a change in management control, shall be deemed a Transfer within the meaning and provisions of this Section 15.1; provided, however that any Transfer resulting from a merger or other business combination by and between Tenant and Kingfish Holding Corporation, or any of its affiliates (such combination, an “Approved Combination”), shall be deemed automatically approved by the Landlord pursuant to this Section 15.1 without any further action by Landlord or Tenant and following such Approved Combination, all references herein to Tenant shall be deemed references to the surviving entity resulting from the Approved Combination, and furthermore, the surviving entity following the Approved Combination shall have the same rights as the Tenant and shall be bound by the same obligations as the Tenant without further action by either party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated in this Lease, if a Transfer has been effected, same shall not release Tenant from Tenant’s primary liability under this Lease to pay the Rent and to perform and comply with all other obligations of the Tenant under this Lease. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof. Consent to one Transfer shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent Transfer. In the event of default by any transferee of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against said transferee. Landlord may consent to subsequent Transfers hereof, or amendments or modifications to this Lease with transferees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining it’s or their consent thereto, and such action shall not relieve any predecessor Tenant of liability hereunder.

 

15.2 Transfer by Landlord. During the Initial Term, Landlord shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or encumber all or any part of Landlord’s interest in this Lease or in the Premises (each such a “Landlord Transfer”) without Tenant’s prior written consent. If Landlord is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership, the transfer, assignment or hypothecation of any stock or interest in such entity in the aggregate in excess of fifty percent (50%), or resulting in a change in management control, shall be deemed a Landlord Transfer within the meaning and provisions of this Section 15.2. Any such Landlord Transfer in violation of this Section 15.2 shall be null and void ab initio and shall be of no force and effect. Any sale or other transfer, including by consolidation, merger or reorganization, of a majority of the voting stock of Landlord shall be a Landlord Transfer for purposes of this Section 15.2.

17.2 Landlord’s Remedies. If any Event of Default occurs, Landlord shall have any and all rights and remedies available to it under Florida law.
