WITNESSETH:
Lessor hereby leases to Lessee and Lessee hereby hires from the Lessor the space described in Paragraph 1 of the Summary (the “Summary”) attached hereto and made a part hereof (said space is hereinafter called the “premises” or the “demised premises”) in a Building located on all of Lot 9, less the East 70 feet of the South 282 feet of Xxx 0, Xxxx Xx. 0, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxx North, according to the plat thereof as recorded in Plat Book 51, Pages 121-123, Public Records of Palm Beach County, Florida, a P.I.D., in Riviera Beach, Florida (hereinafter called the “Building”), for the term described in Paragraph 2 of the summary, to commence on the “Commencement Date”, and to expire on the Expiration Date as described in Paragraph 2 of the Summary, unless sooner ended pursuant to the terms hereof. The fact that “punch list” or similar type items remain to be performed in the premises or Building on the Commencement Date shall not delay the commencement of the term of this Lease as aforesaid.
Lessor and Lessee covenant and agree:
1. PURPOSES: Lessee shall use and occupy the premises only for the purposes described in Paragraph 3 of the Summary, and for no other purpose.
2. ANNUAL BASE RENT:
A. Beginning with the Commencement Date and continuing throughout the term of this Lease, Lessee shall pay to Lessor in Lawful United States currency, the fixed annual rent described in Paragraph 4 of the Summary (the “Fixed Annual Rent”), payable in the equal monthly installments described in Paragraph 4 of the Summary (the “Base Monthly Rent”), together with any and all sales and use taxes, as set forth in Article 4, levied upon the use and occupancy of the premises. Payment shall be in advance on the first day of each month. Lessee’s rent in the first month of the term and the last month of term shall be pro-rated based on the number of days the Lessee is obligated and bound by this Lease. All rent shall be paid to Lessor without demand, setoff or deduction whatsoever, do Mitzvah Associates, J.V., 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxx, #00, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 or at such other place as Lessor shall designate in writing to Lessee.
B. If any installment of Base Rent or Additional Rent is not received within five (5) days after the due date thereof (without in any way implying Lessor’s consent to such late payment) and a subsequent three (3) days after notice from Lessor, Lessee agrees to pay Lessor the Late Charge of ten percent (10%) per installment, in addition to said installment of Base Rent or Additional Rent, it being understood that the Late Charge shall constitute liquidated damages and such liquidated damages shall be solely for the purpose of reimbursing Lessor for the additional costs and expenses which Lessor presently expects to incur in connection with the handling and processing of late payments of Base Rent and/or Additional Rent. Lessor and Lessee agree that in the event of any such late payment by Lessee, the damages resulting to Lessor will be difficult to ascertain precisely, and that the Late Charge constitutes a reasonable and good faith estimate by the parties of the extent of such damages. In addition to the Late Charge, Lessee agrees to pay Lessor interest, at the Overdue Rent interest rate of 1 1/2% per month, on any installment of Base Rent or Additional Rent not paid within thirty (30) days after the due date thereof, which interest shall accrue from the due date to the date of payment.

A. ACCELERATION OF RENT. If permitted by law, by notice to Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to accelerate all Rental Amount(s) and all expense installments due hereunder and otherwise payable in installments over the remainder of the Rental Term, and, at Lessor’s option, any other Additional Rent to the extent that such Additional Rent can be determined and calculated to a fixed sum; and the amount of Accelerated Rent, without further notice or demand for payment, shall be due and payable by Lessee within five (5) days after Lessor has so notified Lessee.

H. NO WAIVER BY LESSOR. No delay or forbearance by Lessor in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or Lessor’s undertaking or performing any act or matter which is not expressly required to be undertaken by Lessor shall be construed, respectively, to be a waiver of Lessor’s rights or to represent any agreement by Lessor to undertake or perform such act or matter thereafter. Waiver by Lessor of any breach by Lessee of any covenant or condition herein contained (which waiver shall be effective only if so expressed in writing by Lessor) or failure by the Lessor to exercise any right or remedy in respect of any such breach shall not constitute a waiver or relinquishment for the future of Lessor’s right to have any such covenant or condition duly performed or observed by Lessee, or of Lessor’s rights arising because of any subsequent breach of any such covenant or condition nor bar any right or remedy of Lessor in respect of such breach or any subsequent breach. Lessor’s receipt and acceptance of any payment from Lessee which is tendered not in conformity with the provision of this Lease or following an Event of Default (regardless of any endorsement or notation on any check or any statement in any letter accompanying any payment) shall not operate as an accord and satisfaction or a waiver of the right of Lessor to recover any payments then owing by Lessee which are not paid in full, or act as a bar to the termination of this Lease and the recovery of the Premises because of Lessee’s previous default.
7. LESSOR MAY CURE DEFAULTS: If Lessee shall default in performing any covenant or condition or condition of this Lease, Lessor may perform the same for the account of Lessee, and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for any expense incurred therefore.
8. ALTERATIONS: Lessee shall make no decoration, alteration, addition or improvement in or to the premises without the prior written consent of Lessor, and then only by contractors or mechanics and in such manner and time, and with such materials as may be approved by Lessor, not to be unreasonably withheld. All alterations, additions or improvements to the premises, including air-conditioning equipment and duct work, except movable office furniture and equipment installed at the expense of Lessee, shall, unless Lessor elects or otherwise agrees in writing, become the property of Lessor upon the installation thereof, and shall be surrendered with the premises at the expiration of this Lease; provided, however, any such alterations, additions, and improvements which Lessor designates in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the lease shall be removed by Lessee at or before the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease and any damage caused thereby shall be repaired at Lessee’s expense. Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to non-structural alterations.
9. MECHANICS LIEN. In accordance with the applicable provisions of the Florida Mechanic’s Lien Law and specifically Florida Statutes, Section 713.10, no interest of Lessor whether personally or in the Premises, or in the underlying land or Project of which the Premises are a part of the leasehold interest aforesaid shall be subject to liens for improvements made by Lessee or caused to be made by Lessee hereunder. Further, Lessee acknowledges that Lessee, with respect to improvements or alterations made by Lessee or caused to be made by Lessee hereunder, shall promptly notify the contractor making such improvements to the Premises of this provision exculpating Lessor’s liability for such liens. No work performed by Lessee pursuant to this Lease, whether in the nature of erection, construction, alteration or repair, shall be deemed to be for the immediate use and benefit of Lessor so that no mechanic’s or other lien shall be allowed against the estate of Lessor by reason of any consent given by Lessor to Lessee to improve the Premises. Lessee shall place such contractual provisions as Lessor may request in
13 | Lessee XX | |||

Lessee shall pay promptly all persons furnishing labor or materials with respect to any work performed by Lessee or its Contractors on or about the Premises. If any mechanic’s or other liens shall at any time be filed against the Premises or the property of which the Premises are a part by reason of work, labor, services or materials performed or furnished, or alleged to have been performed or furnished, to Lessee or to anyone holding the Premises through or under Lessee, and regardless of whether any such lien is asserted against the interest of Lessor or Lessee, Lessee shall cause the same to be discharged of record or bonded to the satisfaction of Lessor within thirty (30) days of notice of such lien. If Lessee shall fail to cause such lien to be so discharged or bonded after being notified of the filing thereof, then, in addition to being an Event of Default and any other right or remedy of Lessor, Lessor may bond or discharge the same by paying the amount claimed to be due, and the amount so paid by Lessor, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Lessor either in defending against such lien or in procuring the bonding or discharge of such lien, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, shall be due and payable by Lessee to Lessor as Additional Rent.

Xxxxxx BS |
Lessee’s consent, by notice in writing to Lessee, and thereupon this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution and delivery, and in that event such mortgagee shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as though it had been executed prior to the execution and delivery of the mortgage.
B. In the event the Lessor shall be or is alleged to be in default of any of its obligations owing to Lessee under this Lease, Lessee agrees to give to the holder of any mortgage (collectively the “Mortgagee”) now or hereafter placed upon the Premises or the Building and land, notice by registered or certified mail of any such default notice of which default Lessee shall have served upon the Lessor, provided that prior thereto Lessee has been notified in writing (by way of Notice of Assignment of Rents and/or Leases or otherwise) of the name and addresses of any such Mortgagee. Lessee shall not be entitled to exercise any right or remedy as there may be because of any default by Lessor without having given such notice to the Mortgagee; and Lessee further agrees that if Lessor shall fail to cure such default; (i) the Mortgagee shall have an additional thirty (30) days (measured from the later of the date on which the default should have been cured by Lessor or the Mortgagee’s receipt of such notice from Lessee) within which to cure such default, provided that Mortgagee may take additional reasonable time if such default be such that the same could not be cured within such thirty (30) day period and Mortgagee is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to effectuate the cure (including, but not limited to, foreclosure proceedings if necessary to effectuate the cure); and (ii) Lessee shall not exercise any right or remedy as there may be arising because of Lessor’s default, including, but not limited to, termination of this Lease as may be expressly provided for herein or available to Lessee as a matter of law, if the Mortgagee either has cured the default within such thirty (30) day period, or as the case may be, has initiated the cure of same within such thirty (30) day period and is diligently pursuing the cure of same as aforesaid.

It is intended that any such certification and statement delivered pursuant to this Section may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser of the fee or any mortgagee thereof or any assignee of Lessor’s interest in this Lease or of any mortgage upon the fee of the Premises or any part thereof.
18. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION: A. If the premises shall be partially damaged by fire or other casualty, and in Lessor’s reasonable opinion (which shall be given within ten (10) days after the occurrence of such fire or other casualty or it, in good faith, such opinion cannot be made within ten (10) days then within a reasonable amount of time not to exceed twenty (20) days), the damage can be repaired within ninety (90) days, excluding the time required to obtain permits, then the damage shall be repaired by and at the expense of Lessor, this Lease shall continue in effect, and all forms of rent due hereunder shall xxxxx in proportion to the portion of the premises deemed by both parties to be unusable by Lessee, commencing with the date of
19 | Lessee XX | |||
Xxxxxx BS |
such fire or other casualty. If in Lessor’s opinion, the damage cannot be repaired within such ninety (90) days, then Lessor shall provide written notice to Lessee of Lessor’s opinion, and Lessee may at its option, terminate this Lease within ten (10) days thereof. If Lessee elects not to terminate this Lease, Lessor may, at its option, either terminate this lease or repair such damage within a reasonable time and, in such event, this lease shall continue in effect and the rent shall xxxxx as aforesaid.

In no event shall Lessor be liable to Lessee for any delay in restoring the premises. Lessor shall not be responsible for any damage to or destruction of Lessee’s interior Lessee improvements, movable trade fixtures, display devices, supplies, equipment or similar tangible personal property.

Lessor and Lessee hereby release and waive all right of recovery against the other or any one claiming through or under each of them by way of subrogation or otherwise. However, the foregoing release and waiver shall be in force only if both releasor’s insurance policies contain a clause providing that such a release or waiver shall not invalidate such insurance. Lessee hereby expressly agrees that the foregoing provisions shall govern and control in lieu of any law contrary to the provisions of this paragraph.
19. EMINENT DOMAIN: Lessee hereby assigns to Lessor all rights to compensation or damages, if any, sustained as Lessee on condemnation of the Premises in whole or in part under power of eminent domain; but Lessor shall pay to Lessee from the condemnation award, if and when received by Lessor, the amount, if any, by which such award was increased by virtue of condemnation of equipment, fixtures and./or improvements which Lessee, on termination of the Rental Term, is entitled to remove, shall not be entitled to recover or claim any compensation or damage sustained on condemnation of the Premises under power of eminent domain attributable to the Building or the land on which the Building is situated, but Lessee shall maintain all Lessees’ rights to compensation or damages, if any, sustained as Lessee on condemnation of the Premises in whole or in part under power of eminent domain.
20 | Lessee XX | |||
Xxxxxx BS |
If such condemnation of the Premises reduces the floor area of the Premises available for Lessee’s use by more than twenty-five percent (25%) or renders the part thereof not condemned permanently untenantable, or access to Lessee’s Premises should be materially affected, either party hereto, by thirty (30) days’ notice to the other, may terminate this Lease; but if the Lease is not so terminated, Lessor shall make such repairs, if any, as are reasonably necessary to restore the part thereof not condemned to untenantable condition. Lessor, in so doing, shall not be required to expend more than the net amount received by Lessor in the condemnation proceedings for damage to such part of the Premises not condemned unless Lessee pays the amount of the excess of expenditure and, before commencement of the restoration repairs, provides Lessor with reasonable security for such payment by Lessee. Restoration repairs, if made, shall begin promptly after Lessee vacates the part of the Premises condemned and be completed with reasonable diligence, subject, however, to delays incident to governmental regulations, unavailability of material or labor and other causes beyond the Lessors’ control.
20. RIGHT OF ENTRY: Lessee shall permit Lessor to erect and maintain pipes and conduits in and through the premise. Lessor and its agents shall have the right to enter or pass through the premises at all times upon giving reasonable notice to Lessee by master key and, in an emergency, by reasonable force or otherwise, to examine the same, and to make such repairs, alterations or additions as it may deem necessary or desirable to the premises or the Building, and to take all material into and upon the premises that may be required therefore. Such entry and work shall not constitute an eviction of Lessee in whole or in part, providing such entry and work does not materially interfere with Lessee’s use of the premises, and shall impose no liability on Lessor by reason of inconvenience or injury to Lessee’s business. Lessor shall have the right at any time, without the same constituting an actual or constructive eviction, and without incurring any liability to Lessee, to (i) remove or change the arrangement and/or location of entrances, corridors (if any), stairs, toilets and/or other public parts of the Building, (ii) change the name or number by which the Building is known, (iii) alter the number of and/or relocate parking areas for the Building, (iv) alter the location of walkways, driveways, and green areas with respect to the Building and/or Building Project, and/or (v) make additions to the Building and/or Building Project.

Any defects in the premises discovered by Lessee within thirty (30) days of the Commencement Date shall be listed on an exhibit by Lessee, acknowledged by Lessor and attached hereto. Lessee shall also (except as otherwise provided herein) remove all of its personal property from the premises at the expiration of the
21 | Lessee XX | |||
Xxxxxx BS |
term of this Lease and restore the premises to their original condition, except for Lessor approved improvements, reasonable wear and tear and damage by fire and other casualty. Lessee acknowledges that possession of the premises must be surrendered to Lessor at the expiration or sooner termination of the term of this Lease. Lessee agrees it shall indemnify and save Lessor harmless against all cost, claims, loss or liability resulting from delay by Lessee in so surrendering the premises, including without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding Lessee founded on such delay. The parties recognize and agree that the damage to Lessor resulting from any failure by Lessee to timely surrender possession of the premises as aforesaid will be substantial, will exceed the amount of monthly rent therefore payable hereunder, and accurate measurement will be impossible. Lessee therefore agrees that if possession of the premises is not surrendered to Lessor on the date of the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, then Lessee agrees to pay Lessor as liquidated damages for each month, and for each portion of any month pro-rated on a daily basis, during which Lessee holds over in the premises after the expiration or termination of the term of this Lease, as sum equal to two (2) times the average rent and additional rent which was payable per month under this Lease during the last six months of the term thereof
23. POSSESSION: If Lessor shall be unable to give possession of the premises upon obtaining the Certificate of Occupancy for any reason, Lessor shall not be subject to any liability for such failure. In such event, this Lease shall stay in full force and effect, without extension of its term, provided Lessor gives possession within twenty (20) days from obtaining the Certificate of Occupancy, otherwise this Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall have no further liability to Lessor pursuant to this Lease; however, in the event the reason for the delay in possession was caused by change orders by Lessee to the attached Lessee Interior Improvement Plan, then the twenty day time period shall extend by the number of days required to facilitate such change orders.
