3. CONDITION OF PROPERTY AND CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS

3.1. Condition of Property. Tenant has inspected and is familiar with the Premises and hereby accepts the Premises in “As-Is” condition, with no warranties of condition provided by Landlord except as otherwise provided herein and except for latent defects and violations of laws, rules and regulations existing as of the Commencement Date. Delivery of the Premises, and the commencement of the Lease, are contingent upon Landlord’s inspection and approval of the existing build-out of the Premises, of which Tenant shall bear no obligation to repair, replace, construct or otherwise restore to a condition prior to that which exists as of the date of this Lease. Failure of Landlord to approve the current build-out of the Premises shall automatically terminate this Lease and cause the same to be null and void. Tenant shall be responsible for the repair and maintenance to the Premises, as more fully set forth in this Lease, from the commencement of the Lease forward through, and including, termination or expiration of the same.

3.2. Construction of Leasehold Improvements. Tenant may make improvements to the Premises which are consistent with a first class office building providing that any such improvements are consented to in advance by Landlord, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld by Landlord and shall be deemed given unless Landlord gives Tenant its written objection with ten (10) days after Tenant sends Landlord a request for such approval. Any improvements to the Premises shall be constructed at the sole cost and expense of Tenant.

3.3. Ownership Improvements. All improvements to the Premises shall remain the property of Landlord except for movable trade fixtures. In no event shall Tenant make any improvements or alterations to the Premises, including the installation and removal of trade fixtures, without the prior written consent of Landlord and shall be deemed given unless Landlord gives Tenant its written objection with ten (10) days after Tenant sends Landlord a request for such approval.

 

4. RENT

4.1. Payment. All Rent (to be defined as including Minimum Rent and Additional Rent, as those terms are defined below) and other fees, taxes and charges payable to Landlord under any provision of this Lease shall be paid to Landlord, or as Landlord may otherwise designate, in lawful money of the United States at the address of Landlord or at such other place as Landlord in writing may designate, without any set-off or deduction whatsoever, and without any prior demand therefore except as otherwise provided in the Lease. In addition to the payment of the Rent and other charges, Tenant shall also pay to the Landlord, at the time of payment of such Rent and other charges, all sales, use or occupancy taxes payable by virtue of any of such payments. Rent for any period during the term hereof which is for less than one (1) month shall be a prorated portion of the monthly installment.

4.2. Minimum Rent. Tenant shall pay the Minimum Rent, which is subject to adjustments as hereinafter set forth, in equal monthly installments in advance on the first day of each calendar month included in the Lease Term. The first monthly installment shall be paid on the signing of this Lease if not previously delivered. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which would be extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to processing and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any Mortgage or Trust deed covering the Premises.

4.3. Late Rent Fees. In the event any installment of Rent or any sum due hereunder is not paid within five (5) days after such amount is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional Rent a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of each such installment or other sum, or Fifty Dollars ($50.00) per month, whichever is greater. A sum of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) will be paid by Tenant to Landlord for each returned check, and Tenant shall pay a charge of One Hundred Fifty Dollars ($150.00) for preparation of a demand for delinquent rent.

4.4. Adjustment of Minimum Rent. The Minimum Rent specified in Section 1.1. hereof (and the monthly installments thereof) will be adjusted and automatically modified, with the same being due from Tenant without notice or demand from Landlord, as follows:

Months 1 through Month 6: $20,000 per month, plus applicable sales, use, occupation and other taxes as may be applicable to this Lease and Tenant from time to time during the Lease term.

Months 7 through Month 24: $25,000 per month, plus applicable sales, use, occupation and other taxes as may be applicable to this Lease and Tenant from time to time during the Lease term.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, controllable Common Area Costs, which are costs other than utilities, insurance and taxes, cannot increase more than five percent (5%) in any one year on a non-cumulative basis. Notwithstanding, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, in full, for the overage amounts of any excessive charges or fees resulting from Tenant’s use of the Premises in excess of normal usage amounts. At the end of each calendar year, the Landlord shall advise the Tenant of the Tenant’s share of the Additional Rent payable for such calendar year as computed based upon the cost thereof to the Landlord.

Tenant shall have the right to require Landlord to substantiate, by written itemization, Landlord’s computation of Tenant’s Additional Rent. Landlord shall furnish such an itemization to Tenant within thirty (30) days from receipt of Tenant’s written request for itemization.

For the purposes of this Lease, the term “Parcel” shall mean the contiguous property set forth in Exhibit “A” together with all improvements located or to be located thereon.

4.6.2. If at any time during the Term hereof, or the Term as it may be extended, Tenant shall be in default in payment of Rent or any other sum due Landlord as Additional Rent, Landlord may apply all or a part of the Security Deposit for such payment. Landlord may also apply all or a part of the Deposit to repair damages to the Premises during or upon the termination of the tenancy created by this Lease. In such event, Tenant shall, on demand, pay to Landlord a like sum as Additional Security.

Landlord shall be required to keep the Security Deposit in accordance with State of Florida Statutes.

4.6.3. Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord’s Leasing Agent shall be entitled to immediately endorse and cash Tenant’s Rent and Security Deposit Check(s) accompanying this Lease.

Notwithstanding Section 8, Tenant may Transfer all or part of its interest in this Lease or all or part of the Premises (a “Permitted Transfer”) to the following types of entities (a “Permitted Transferee”) without the written consent of Landlord:

(a) an Affiliate of Tenant;

(b) any corporation, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company or other business entity in which or with which Tenant, or its corporate successors or assigns, is merged or consolidated, in accordance with applicable statutory provisions governing merger and consolidation of business entities, so long as Tenant’s obligations hereunder are assumed by the entity surviving such merger or created by such consolidation; or

(c) any corporation, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company or other business entity acquiring all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets, so long as Tenant’s obligations hereunder are assumed by the entity surviving such merger or created by such consolidation.

Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any such Permitted Transfer.

9. DESTRUCTION AND CONDEMNATION

9.1. Fire or Other Casualty. In the event of (i) a partial destruction of the Premises or the Building during the Lease Term which requires repairs to either the Premises or the Building, or (ii) the Premises or the Building being declared unsafe or unfit for occupancy by any authorized public authority for any reason other than Tenant’s act, use or occupation, which declaration requires repairs to either the Premises or Building, Landlord may elect to commence repairs within sixty (60) days thereof, but partial destruction shall in no way annul or void this Lease, except that Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of Rent while such repairs are being made. The proportionate reduction is to be based upon the extent to which the making of repairs shall interfere with the Premises used, and business carried on, by Tenant in the Premises. In the event that Landlord does not elect to commence repairs within sixty (60) days, or repairs cannot be made under current laws and regulations within one hundred (100) days or are not completed within one hundred (100) days, either party may terminate this Lease upon ten (10) days written notice given after the failure to make the repairs. A total destruction, including any destruction required by any authorized public authority, of either the Premises or the Building, shall terminate this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to repair any property installed in the Premises by Tenant nor to repair any portion of the Premises for which insurance proceeds are not paid to Landlord. Tenant waives any right under applicable laws consistent with this paragraph and, in the event of a destruction, agrees to accept any offer by Landlord to provide Tenant with comparable space within the parcel in which the Premises are located on the same terms as this Lease. Nothing in Section 9.1 shall authorize abatement or reduction of rent because of total or partial destruction arising out of the negligent or willful acts of omission or commission by Tenant.

9.2. Condemnation. If any part of the Premises shall be taken or condemned for a public or quasi-public use, and a part thereof remains which is susceptible of occupation hereunder, this Lease shall, as to the part so taken, terminate as of the date title shall vest in a condemnor, and the Rent payable hereunder shall be adjusted so that Tenant shall be required to pay for the remainder of the Term only such portion of such Rent as the number of square feet in the part remaining after the condemnation bears to the number of square feet in the entire Premises at the date of condemnation; but, in such event, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease as of the date when title to the part so condemned vests in a condemnor. If all the Premises or such part thereof be taken or condemned so there does not remain a portion susceptible for occupation hereunder, this Lease shall thereupon terminate. If a part or all of the Premises be taken or condemned, all compensation awarded upon such condemnation or taking shall go to Landlord and Tenant shall have no claim thereto, and Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns and transfers to Landlord any right to compensation or damages to which Tenant may be entitled during the Term hereof by reason of the condemnation of all, or a part, of the Premises provided however, that Tenant shall be entitled to any award for loss or damage to Tenant’s trade fixtures, removable personal property and improvements which were made by Tenant.

 

10. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

10.1. Events of Default. The following events shall be deemed to be events of default by Tenant under this Lease: (i) Tenant shall fail to pay any rent or any other sums of money due hereunder and such failure shall continue for a period of seven (7) days after written notice is given to Tenant that such sum is due; (ii) Tenant shall fail to comply with any provisions of this Lease or any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant, all of which terms, provisions and covenants shall be deemed material and such failure continues for thirty (30) days (or such longer period of time that is necessary to cure the default if such default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days and Tenant commences such cure within thirty (30) days and diligently and continuously prosecutes such cure until completion); (iii) the leasehold hereunder demised shall be taken on execution or other process of law in any action against Tenant: (iv) Tenant shall fail to promptly move into, take possession of, and operate its business on the Premises when the Premises are ready for occupancy or shall cease to do business in or abandon any substantial portion of the Premises; (v) Tenant shall become insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they become due, or Tenant notifies Landlord that it anticipates either condition; (iv) Tenant takes any action to, or notifies Landlord that Tenant intends to file a petition under any section or chapter of the National Bankruptcy Act, as amended, or under any similar law or statute of the United States or any state thereof, or a petition shall be filed against Tenant under any such statute or Tenant or any creditor of Tenant notifies Landlord that it knows such a petition will be filed or tenant notifies Landlord that it expects such a petition to be filed; or (vii) a receiver or trustee shall be appointed for Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises or for all or a substantial part of the assets of Tenant.

10.2. Remedies. In the event of any default or breach by Tenant, and if such breach shall have continued for a period of three (3) days after the Landlord shall have given written notice by certified or registered mail to the Tenant at its office address set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, them in such event, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies:

7


10.2.2. Landlord shall have the right without terminating or canceling this Lease to declare all amounts and rents due under this Lease for the remainder of the existing term (or any applicable extension or renewal thereof) to be immediately due and payable, and thereupon all rents and other charges due hereunder to the end of the initial term or any renewal term, if applicable, shall be accelerated.

10.2.4. Landlord may enter upon the Premises and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease (and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses which Landlord may incur in effecting compliance with Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and Tenant further agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting to the Tenant from such action.)

10.2.5. All such remedies of Landlord shall be cumulative and, in addition, Landlord may pursue any other remedies that may be permitted by law or in equity. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an event of default shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver of such default.

10.2.6. In addition to the specific remedy or remedies elected by Landlord in the event of Tenant’s default, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s default, including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering possession of the Premises; expenses of reletting, including necessary renovations and alterations of the Premises; all court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees; and that portion of the leasing commission paid by Landlord and applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease. Unpaid installments of rent or other sums shall bear interest from the date due at the lesser of twelve percent (12%) per annum or the maximum lawful rate.

12.19. Landlord Default. If Landlord shall violate, neglect or fail to perform or observe any of the representations, covenants, provisions, or conditions contained in this Lease on its part to be performed or observed, which default continues for a period of more than thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Tenant specifying such default (10 days after notice in the case of a monetary default), or if such default is of a nature to require more than thirty (30) days for remedy and continues beyond the time reasonably necessary to cure (provided Landlord must have undertaken procedures to cure the default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues such efforts to cure to completion), Tenant may, at its option (in addition to all other rights and remedies provided Tenant at law, in equity or hereunder), incur any reasonable expense necessary to perform the obligation of Landlord specified in such notice and bill Landlord for the costs thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in Tenant’s reasonable judgment an emergency shall exist and after giving Landlord reasonable notice of such condition, Tenant may cure such default.

Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring Tenant to await the passage of thirty (30) days before seeking equitable relief.

In the event that Tenant elects to cease its business operations at Premises and vacates the Premises, such vacating of the Premises shall not be deemed an event of default hereunder, nor shall such vacating the Premises relieve Tenant of any of its liabilities or obligations under and pursuant to this Lease.
