11. Alterations:
TENANT shall make no alterations, additions, installments, improvements, or decorations in or to the Premises without the written consent of the LANDLORD, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be subject to the foregoing and upon such terms and conditions as LANDLORD may require and stipulate such consent, including without limitations, (a) physical and spatial limitations, (b) governmental approvals, (c) payment, (d) bonding to guarantee the payment of contractor’s fees, (e) indemnification, (f) liens, (g) designation of approved contractors and subcontractors, and (h) Landlord’s insurer’s requirements.

12. Destruction or Damage:
A. In the event that the Demised Premises shall be destroyed or damaged or injured by fire or casualty during the term of this Lease, whereby all or a part thereof shall be rendered untenatable, then the LANDLORD shall have the right, to be exercised by notice to TENANT within ten (10) days after casualty, to render such premises tenatable by repairs within 90 days therefrom subject to extension for delays faced by LANDLORD due to adjustment of insurance proceeds, labor trouble, governmental controls, so-called acts of God, or any other cause beyond LANDLORD’s reasonable control. If said Premises are not rendered tenatable within said time, it shall, be optionable with either party hereto cancel this lease, by written notice to the other, and in the event of such cancellation the rent shall be paid only to the date of such fire or casualty and paid rent refunded.
B. No damages, compensation, or claim shall be payable by the LANDLORD for inconvenience, loss of business, or annoyance arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of the Demised Premises or of the building pursuant to this paragraph. If the LANDLORD exercises its rights to restore the Premises, then LANDLORD shall use its best efforts not to unreasonably interfere with the TENANT’s use and occupancy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the LANDLORD shall not be liable for damages or claims if it is unable to obtain insurance.
C. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of the foregoing, if the LANDLORD or the holder of any superior mortgage, as defined hereafter is unable to collect all of the insurance proceeds, if any, applicable to the damage or destruction of the Demised Premises or of the building by fire or some other casualty or cause, by reason of some action or inaction on the part of the TENANT, its agents, employees, or contractors then without prejudice to any other of LANDLORD’s remedies available against TENANT, there shall be no abatement of the rent due for TENANT to the extent of the uncollected insurance proceeds, if any.
D. LANDLORD will not carry separate insurance of any kind covering TENANT’s property. The LANDLORD shall not be liable for the repair of any damage or the replacement of TENANT’s property.
13. Default: LANDLORD’s Remedies:
All rights and remedies of the LANDLORD herein enumerated shall be cumulative, and none shall exclude another or any other right or remedy provided by law.
14
A. If TENANT or any guarantor of this Lease shall become bankrupt or insolvent or unable to pay its debts as such become due, or file any debtor proceedings or if TENANT or any guarantor shall take or have taken against either party in any court pursuant to any statute either of the United States or of any State, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of all or a portion of TENANT’s or any such guarantor makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or petition for or enters into an arrangement, then this Lease shall terminate and LANDLORD, in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have, shall have the immediate right of re-entry and may remove all persons and property from the leased Premises and such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of TENANT, all without service of notice or resort to legal process and without being deemed guilty of trespass, or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby.
B. If the TENANT defaults in the payment of rent or in the prompt and full performance of any provisions of this Lease, or if the leasehold interest or the TENANT’s business or Fixtures of the TENANT are levied upon under execution of attached by process of law or the TENANT abandons the Premises, then and in any such event the LANDLORD may, if the LANDLORD so elects, but not otherwise, and after three (10) days written notice thereof to TENANT, forthwith terminate this Lease and the TENANT’s right to possession of the Demised Premises, or terminate only TENANT’s right to possession hereunder.
C. Upon any termination of this Lease, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, the TENANT shall surrender the possession and vacate the Premises immediately, and deliver possession thereof to the LANDLORD, and hereby grants to the LANDLORD full and free license to enter into and upon the Premises in such event with or without process of law and to expel or remove the TENANT and any others who may be occupying or within the Premises and to remove any and all property therefrom, using such force as may be necessary, without being deemed in any manner guilty of trespass, eviction, or forcible entry or detainer, and without relinquishing the LANDLORD’s rights to rent or any other right given to LANDLORD hereunder or by operation of law. The TENANT expressly waives the service of any demand for the payment of rent or for possession and the service of any notice of the LANDLORD’s election to terminate this Lease or to re-enter the Premises, except as provided for in subparagraph (b) of this paragraph, and agree that the simple breach of any covenants or provisions of this Lease by the TENANT shall, of itself, without the service of any notice or demand whatsoever, constitute an unlawful detainer by TENANT of the Premises within the meeting of the Statutes of the State of Florida.
D. If the TENANT abandons the Premises or otherwise entitles the LANDLORD so to elect and the LANDLORD does elect to terminate the TENANT’s right to possession only, without terminating the Lease, the LANDLORD may, at the LANDLORD’s option, enter into the Premises, remove the TENANT’s signs and other evidence of tenancy, and take and hold possession thereof without such entry and possession terminating the Lease and releasing the TENANT, in whole or in part from the TENANT’s obligation to pay the rent hereunder for the full term, and in any such case the TENANT shall pay forthwith to the LANDLORD, a sum equal to the entire amount of the rent reserved under Paragraph 2 of this Lease for the residue of the stated term plus any other sums then due hereunder. Upon and after entry into possession without termination of the Lease, the LANDLORD may, but need not, relet the Premises or any part thereof for the account of the TENANT to any person, firm, or corporation other than the TENANT for such rent, for such time, and upon such terms as the LANDLORD in the LANDLORD’s sole discretion shall determine; and the LANDLORD shall not be required to accept any Tenant offered by the TENANT. In any such case, the LANDLORD may make repairs, alterations, and additions in or to the Premises and redecorate the same to the extent deemed by the LANDLORD necessary or desirable, and the TENANT shall, upon demand, pay to the LANDLORD the amount of each monthly deficiency upon demand; if the consideration so collected from any such relating is more than sufficient to pay the full amount of the rent reserved herein, together with the costs and expenses of the LANDLORD, the LANDLORD shall hot be required to account for the surplus to the TENANT.
E. TENANT hereby irrevocably appoints LANDLORD as agent and attorney-in-fact of TENANT, to enter upon the Premises in the event of default by TENANT, and to remove any all furniture and personal property owned or lease by the TENANT situated upon the Premises. Any and all property which may be removed from the Premises by the LANDLORD pursuant to the authority of this Lease or of law, to which the TENANT is or may be entitled, may be handled, removed, or stored by LANDLORD at the risk, cost, and expense of TENANT, and LANDLORD shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation, or safekeeping thereof, TENANT shall pay to LANDLORD, upon demand, all expenses incurred in such removal and all storage charges against such
15
property so long as the same shall be in the LANDLORD’s possession or under LANDLORD’s control. After it has been stored for a period of ninety (90) days or more, LANDLORD may sell any or all of such property in such manner and at such tines and places as LANDLORD in its sole discretion may deem proper, without notice to or demand upon TENANT for the payment of any part of such charges or the removal of any such property and shall apply the proceeds of such sale first to the cost of expenses of such sale, including reasonable attorneys’ fees; second, to the payment of the costs and charges of storing any property; third, to the payment of any other sum of money with may then or thereafter be due to LANDLORD from TENANT under any of the terms hereof; and fourth, the balance, if any to TENANT. The removal and storage of TENANT’s property as above provided shall not constitute a waiver of LANDLORD’s lien thereon.
F. TENANT shall pay upon demand all of LANDLORD’s costs, charges, and expenses, including fees of counsel, agents; and others retained by LANDLORD, incurred in enforcing TENANT’s obligations hereunder or incurred by LANDLORD in any litigation, negotiations, or transaction in which TENANT causes LANDLORD, without LANDLORD’s fault, to become involved or concerned. Attorneys’ fees shall be awardable for all phases of litigation, trial, as well as appellate. To perfect and assist in the implementation of certain of LANDLORD’s rights in and to the TENANT’s personal property, TENANT hereby pledges and assigns to LANDLORD and grants unto LANDLORD a lien upon all furniture, fixtures, goods, and chattels of TENANT which shall or may be brought or put on Premises as further security for the faithful performance of the terms, provisions, conditions, and covenants of this Lease, and TENANT specifically agrees that said lien may be enforced by distress, foreclosure, or otherwise at the election of the LANDLORD. LANDLORD agrees that it will not file nor cause to be filed by any UCC-1 Financing Statement in connection with any lien granted unto LANDLORD by TENANT hereunder. TENANT hereby expressly waives and renounces for himself and family, any and all homestead and exemption right he may have now or hereafter, under or by virtue of the Constitution or laws of the State of Florida, or of any other State, or of the United States, as against the payment of rent or any other charges payable by TENANT hereunder or any other obligation or damage that may accrue under the terms of the Agreement.
14. Utilities.
The TENANT shall be solely responsible for and agrees to promptly pay a pro rata share of all utilities used and consumed on the Premises, including but not limited to power, water, sewer, landscaping, and trash removal.
15. Taxes:
LANDLORD shall be responsible for the payment of real property taxes and general and special assessments during the Term of the Lease; provided, however, that in the event the Lease Term shall extend into the following calendar year, TENANT shall be responsible for any increase in real property taxes and general and special assessments and shall pay the amount of any such increase to the LANDLORD as additional rent within ten (10) days of said notification.
16. Insurance:
Throughout the Term of the Lease, LANDLORD agrees to insure, at its sole expense, the Demised Premises against fire and other causes by policies which shall include standard extended coverage; provided, however, that TENANT shall be responsible for any increase in insurance premiums, resulting from any use and enjoyment of the TENANT, and shall pay the amount of any such increase to LANDLORD as additional rent.
TENANT shall carry public liability insurance, in amounts of $500,000.00 in respect of injuries to any one person, and $1,000,000.00 in respect of any one accident or disaster, with parties insured, thereby insuring the parties against any such claim. All such policies of insurance shall provide for not less than thirty (30) days notice to LANDLORD as a condition precedent to cancellation. Such policy shall be delivered to LANDLORD. TENANT shall provide LANDLORD with evidence of payment of renewal premiums or replacement of policy not later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such policy. The public liability policy shall include Premises and operations.
16
17. Subordination
This Lease, and all rights of TENANT hereunder, are and shall be subject and subordinate to all ground leases, overriding leases, and underlying leases affecting the Demised Premises now or hereafter existing and to all mortgages which may now or hereafter affect the Demised Premises and to each and every advance made or hereafter to be made under such mortgages, and to all renewals, modifications, replacements, and extensions of such leases and mortgages and spreaders, and consolidations of such mortgages (which leases and mortgages are sometimes collectively referred to herein for convenience is the “Superior Lease” and “Superior Mortgage”). This Paragraph shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required to make it effective; however, TENANT shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument reasonably requested to evidence such subordination.
A. TENANT agrees that in the event of any act or omission by the LANDLORD which would give that TENANT the right to terminate this Lease, or to claim a partial or total eviction, TENANT shall not exercise any such right until he has notified in writing the holder of any such mortgage which at the time shall be a lien on the Demised Premises or the underlying lessor, if any, of such act or omission.
B. If the lessor of any such Lease or the holder of any such mortgage shall succeed to the rights of LANDLORD under this Lease, then at the request of such party of succeeding to LANDLORD’s right and upon such successor written agreement to accept TENANT’s attornment, TENANT shall attorn to such successor LANDLORD and execute such instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such attornment. Upon such attornment, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as, of as if it were a direct Lease between the successor LANDLORD and TENANT upon all the terms, conditions, and covenants as are set forth in this Lease and shall be applicable after such attornment except that the successor LANDLORD shall not (1) be liable for any previous act or omission of LANDLORD under this Lease (2) be subject to any offset, not expressly provided for in this Lease, which shall have theretofore accrued to TENANT against LANDLORD; and (3) be bound by any previous modification of this Lease, not expressly provided for in this Lease, or by any previous prepayment of more than one month’s fixed rent unless such modification or prepayment shall have been expressly approved in writing by such LANDLORD or such holder through reason of which the successor LANDLORD shall have succeeded to the rights of LANDLORD under this lease.
C. TENANT shall deliver to LANDLORD or to its mortgagee or auditors, or prospective purchaser of the owner of the fee, when requested by LANDLORD, a certificate to the effect that this Lease is in full force and the Lessor is not in default therein, or stating specifically any exceptions thereto. Failure to give such a certificate within ten (10) business days after written request shall be conclusive evidence that the Lease is in full force and effect and LANDLORD is not in default and in such even, TENANT shall be estopped from asserting any defaults known to TENANT at that time.
18. Indemnification:
Neither LANDLORD nor any agent or employee of LANDLORD shall be liable to TENANT for injury or damage to, or loss (by other person, irrespective of the cause of such injury, damage, or loss), unless caused by or due to the negligence of LANDLORD, its agents, or employees without contributory negligence of TENANT, its agents or employees, subject to the comparative negligence of LANDLORD, its agents, or employees without contributory negligence of TENANT, its agents or employees, subject to the comparative negligence doctrine, it being understood that no property, other than such as might normally be brought upon or kept in Premises as an incident to the reasonable use of the Premises for the purposes herein permitted, will be brought upon or be kept in the Premises.
TENANT shall indemnify and save harmless LANDLORD and its agents against and from (a) any and all claims arising from the conduct or management of the Demised Premises or of any business therein or (b) any work or thing whatsoever done, or any condition created or permitted to exist (other than by LANDLORD for LANDLORD or TENANT’s account) in or about the Demised Premises during the term of this Lease, or during the period of time, if any, prior to the commencement of the term hereof that TENANT may have been given access to the Demised Premises or (c) arising from any negligent or otherwise wrongful act or omission of TENANT or any of its subTenants or its or their employees, agents, or contractors; and (d) all costs, expenses, and liabilities incurred
17
in or in connection with each such claim or action or proceeding brought thereon. In case any action or proceeding be brought against LANDLORD, TENANT shall resist and defend such action or proceeding.
19. Waiver:
The failure of either the LANDLORD or the TENANT to insist in any one or more instances upon the strict performance of any one or more of the obligations of this lease, or to exercise any right or election herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of the performance of such or more obligations of this Lease or of the right to exercise such election, but the same shall both continue and remain in full force and effect with respect to any subsequent breach, act, or omission.
20. Notices:
Any notice, statement, demand, or other communication required or permitted to be given or made by either party to the other, pursuant to this Lease or pursuant to any applicable law, shall be deemed to have been properly given and made if sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the other party at the address hereinabove set forth or at such other address as may hereafter be designated by either party by notice to the other and shall be deemed to have been given or made on the day so mailed. Either party may, by notice given as aforesaid, designate a different address or addresses for notices, statements, demands, or other communications intended for it.

The provisions of this paragraph do not waiver any of the LANDLORD’s right of re-entry or any other right under the terms of this lease or the laws of Florida. If TENANT shall fail to surrender the Premises as herein provided, no new tenancy shall be created and TENANT shall be guilty of unlawful detainer. No surrender of this Lease or of the Premises shall be binding on the LANDLORD unless acknowledged by LANDLORD in writing.
