LEASE

 

THIS LEASE made and entered into this 13 day of January, 2021, by and between Octavia S. Vollmer Family Trust, dated November 25, 1991, P.O. Box 6271, Clearwater, FL ###-###-####, hereinafter referred to as "Lessor", and Amerx Health Care Corporation, hereinafter referred to as "Lessee".

 

WITNESSETH:

 

For and in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants hereinafter contained, the parties have agreed to and do hereby enter into a lease upon the following terms and conditions.

 

1. Premises

 

1.1 Lessor is the owner of the property located at 164 Douglas Road East, Oldsmar Florida 34677 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Property”). The subject matter of this lease (Lease) is the 12,000 square feet of the building located thereon, said space being outlined on that floor plan attached as Exhibit “A” (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Premises”).

 

2. Term of Lease

 

2.1 The term hereof shall be for an initial period of Five (5) years, commencing on May 1, 2021

 

3. Use of the Premises

 

3.1 The Premises are being leased to Lessee for the purpose of operating therein a medical supply business. Lessee has inspected the Premises and satisfied itself that the Premises are acceptable, subject to completion of Lessor’s work, if any, for this purpose and represents that its intended use will not violate any federal, state, or local land use regulations or restrictions. Lessee may, upon the express written consent of Lessor which may be withheld in Lessor’s absolute discretion, in addition thereto be granted the right to use the said Premises during the term hereof for other lawful purposes reasonably similar to the aforesaid operation.

 

3.2 During the term hereof Lessee shall, at its sole expense, observe and comply with all local, state and federal laws, ordinances, statutes and regulations, whether currently in force or subsequently enacted, regulating Lessee’s specific use of the Premises.

 

3.3 Lessee agrees that the parking provided by Lessor as shown on Exhibit “B” attached hereto is sufficient for Lessee’s needs. Lessee agrees that it will not permit its employees, customers, vendors, or other persons providing products or services to it to park in any areas other than those designated on Exhibit “B”.

 

3.4 Lessee shall, at its sole expense during the term hereof, at all times perform such maintenance and repair as is necessary to keep the Premises in good working order, condition and repair, except for maintenance and repair to the air conditioning units and structural portions of the Premises, which (together with exterior portions of the building, its roof and the parking lot surfaces) shall be replaced, repaved, repaired and maintained, as appropriate, by Lessor, at Lessor’s sole expense. If Lessor is required to make repairs to structural or exterior portions of the building, its roof, or the parking lot surfaces, or any other portion of the Premises solely by reason of Lessee’s negligent acts or omissions to act, the cost of such repairs shall be deemed additional rent due and payable by Lessee immediately upon demand.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall procure an annual service contract for the maintenance of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (“HVAC”) system servicing the Premises (including, but not limited to, cleaning and replacement of filters, repairs of leaks, and adjustment and replacement of belts and hoses). In the event of repairs or replacement exceeding $350.00 per occurrence, Lessor will be responsible for all amounts above $350.00, unless the repairs or replacement are solely attributable, directly or indirectly, to Lessee’s failure to have normal maintenance provided, in which event Lessee shall be solely responsible for the cost of repairs.

3.5 Construction improvements, alterations, changes, or additions to the Premises shall not be commenced by Lessee without the prior written consent of Lessor, which may not be unreasonably withheld. All improvements, alterations, changes, or additions made or placed in or upon the Premises by Lessor or Lessee which, by operation of law would become a part of the real estate, shall immediately upon being made or placed thereon become the property of Lessor and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as part thereof at the termination, by lapse of time or otherwise, of the term herein granted. Nothing contained herein shall preclude Lessor from requiring Lessee to remove any such improvements, alterations, changes, or additions that Lessee has made at Lessee’s sole cost and expense at the termination, by lapse of time or otherwise, of the term herein granted. Upon notice of Lessor, Lessee shall make such removal and restore the Premises to the same condition as received, reasonable wear and tear excepted. All such improvements, alterations, changes, and additions during the term hereof shall be maintained by Lessee as specified in 3.4 above.

 

3.6 Lessee shall have no authority to incur, create, or permit, and shall not incur, create, permit, or suffer, any lien for labor or materials or services to attach to the interest or estate of either Lessor or Lessee in the Premises or in the building or other real estate of which the Premises form a part; and neither Lessee, nor any one claiming by, through or under Lessee, shall have any right to file or place any labor or material lien of any kind or character upon the Premises or the real estate of which the Premises form a part. All persons contracting with Lessee directly or indirectly or with any person who in turn is contracting with Lessee for the construction of any improvement, alteration, change or addition to the Premises are hereby charged with notice that as and from the date of this instrument, they must look to Lessee only to secure the payment of any bills or charges or claims for work performed or materials furnished or services rendered during the term hereof.

4.7 Lessee shall not for any reason withhold or reduce Lessee’s required payments of rent and other charges provided for in this Lease, it being expressly understood and agreed by the parties that the payment of rent and additional rent is a covenant by Lessee that is independent of the other covenants of the parties hereunder.

In the event of any increase of real property taxes or assessments after the commencement of this Lease payable in respect to the land or improvements of which the Premises are a part over the amount of taxes or assessments for the Base Year, such increase in taxes or assessments shall be paid by Lessee proportionately as the square footage of the demised Premises bears to the total rentable square footage of all buildings subject to the tax notice of which the Premises form a part. Lessee’s proportionate share of the square footage is 100%. Lessor shall notify Lessee of any such increase in taxes and shall indicate in such notice the amount of Lessee’s pro rata share of same and such amount, together with applicable state sales taxes, shall be paid by Lessee within thirty (30) days after Lessee’s receipt of notice.

19. General Provisions

 

19.1 Any holding over after the expiration of the term, with the express or implied consent of Lessor shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month only, at 1.5 times the rental per month as paid during the last month of the term and upon all other terms and conditions as are herein set forth.

 

19.2 Time is of the essence of this Lease. No course of dealings between Lessor and Lessee, nor any failure, neglect or delay by either party in exercising any rights or rights hereunder, shall operate as a waiver, forfeiture or abandonment or any other right or rights provided herein except only to the extent expressly waived in writing.

The use herein of the singular number includes the plural, and vice versa, and the use herein of the neuter gender includes the masculine and the feminine and vice versa, whenever and wherever the context so requires.

 

19.4 Lessor covenants, warrants and represents to Lessee that Lessor has lawful title to the land of which the Premises is a part, the right to make this lease for the term hereof and that Lessor will put Lessee into complete and exclusive possession of the Premises (except as herein otherwise provided). Lessor further covenants that if Lessee shall pay the rental and perform all the covenants and provisions of this Lease to be performed by Lessee, Lessee shall during the term freely, peaceably, and quietly occupy and enjoy the full possession of the Premises (except as herein otherwise provided) and the tenements, hereditaments, and appurtenances thereto belonging and the rights and privileges herein granted without molestation or hindrance, subject nevertheless to all of the terms and conditions hereof.

19.6 Lessor shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorney’s fees relating to any litigation for the recovery of unpaid rent or possession of the premises. For any other claims arising between the parties, each prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorney’s fees. Because this Lease is entered into and concerns premises located in Pinellas County, Florida, the parties agree that Florida law shall govern all controversies and venue for any action shall be in Pinellas County, Florida. The parties waive their right to bring or remove an action to federal court by reason of diversity jurisdiction. The parties specifically waive their right to trial by jury.

 

19.7 This lease may not be recorded by Lessee without the express written consent of Lessor.

 

19.8 Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities may present health risks to persons exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your county public health unit.
