8. Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage to any property of Tenant or any others located in the Premises and/or any other portion of the Building, by theft or otherwise, irrespective of the cause of such damage or loss, unless due to the gross negligence of Landlord.

Without limiting any other terms of the Complete Lease, Landlord shall not be liable for latent defects in construction of the Premises and/or any of the Building. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Complete Lease to the contrary, in no event shall Landlord be liable for any incidental or consequential damages. In no event shall Landlord be liable for any interruption or failure in the supply of any utility or other service to the Premises and/or the Building.

 

Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any security whatsoever for the Premises and/or the Building, and Landlord shall not be liable for any personal injuries, property damage, theft and/or other damage or loss occurring on or about the Premises, the real property on which the Building is located, the common areas, parking areas, and/or any other portions of the Building and/or related on and off-site facilities, and Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or loss of any nature whatsoever to, or any theft of, automobiles or other vehicles located within such parking areas and/or other facilities or any contents therein, while in or about the same.

The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive the Termination of the Lease and/or any other matter.

 

10. Tenant does hereby represent and warrant that as of the full execution hereof, Tenant has not granted to any person or entity whatsoever an interest in the Lease, the Premises, and/or any improvements, fixtures and/or property located on or about the Premises, except as may have been granted to Landlord.

 

11. The terms and conditions of this Amendment shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns, heirs, representatives, mortgagees, and executors of Landlord and subject to the restrictions imposed on the Tenant under the Lease with respect to assigning, encumbering and/or subletting, the terms and conditions of this Amendment shall be binding upon the successors and assigns, heirs, representatives, and executors of Tenant.

 

12. Should any provision of this Amendment and/or the Lease require judicial or other interpretation or construction, it is agreed that the court or fact finder interpreting or construing same shall not apply a presumption that the terms shall be more strictly construed against one party or the other by reason of the rule of construction that a document is to be construed more strictly against the party who through itself or through its agents prepared the document. It is acknowledged and agreed that the agents and attorneys of the undersigned have participated in the preparation and negotiation of this Amendment and/or the Lease or the undersigned have elected not to engage such agents and/or attorneys, in their sole discretion.

 

13. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one (1) original Amendment.

 

14. The Lease, as modified by this Amendment, contains the entire agreement of the parties, and no representations, promises, or agreements, other than those made herein, have been made by any of the parties hereto in connection with the subject matters hereof. Any waiver or modification of the terms of the Lease, as modified by this Amendment, shall be in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. Any verbal consent to any modification thereof or any of their terms, conditions, or provisions shall be null and void.

 

15. If any term or provision of the Lease, as modified by this Amendment, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of such documents, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and

 

2


provision thereof shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. If any term or provision of the Lease, as modified by this Amendment, is capable of two interpretations, one of which renders it valid, the other of which renders it invalid, the term or provision shall have the meaning which renders it valid.

 

16. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein to the contrary, all of the terms and conditions of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect.

 

17. Without limiting the generality of the terms of the Lease, this Amendment, and/or any other documents, and notwithstanding anything contained in any documents to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge, agree and represent that any landlord’s, lessor’s or similar lien (including without limitation, as provided in Chapter 83, Florida Statutes) of Landlord for rent upon the property, fixtures and improvements found upon or off the Premises shall be and remain in full force and effect continuously and uninterruptedly notwithstanding this Amendment and/or any other matter in connection therewith and/or with the Lease, and Tenant acknowledges, agrees and represents that such landlord’s, lessor’s or similar lien has been, is and shall at all times be superior to any claim that Tenant and/or any other person and/or entity whatsoever had and/or has on the Premises and any fixtures, property and/or improvements previously, now and/or hereafter located on or about the Premises.

 

18. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida and any litigation in connection therewith shall be in Dade County, Florida.
