1. 6. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant, concurrently with the execution of this Lease has
deposited with Landlord the sum of twelve thousand dollars ($12,000), (“Security Deposit”). This
sum shall be retained by Xxxxxxxx as security for the payment by Tenant of the Base Rent and other
sums payable by Tenant under this Lease (“Additional Rent”) and for the
faithful performance by Tenant of all the other terms and conditions of this Lease. Landlord,
at Landlord’s option, may at any time apply the Security Deposit or any part thereof toward the
payment of the Base Rent and/or Additional Rent and/or toward the performance of Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease. The Security Deposit is not liquidated damages. Xxxxxxxx shall
return the unused portion of the Security Deposit to Tenant within 30 days after the expiration of
the Term if Tenant is not in breach of this Lease. If the Security Deposit is insufficient to
cover Landlord’s actual damages, Tenant shall pay on demand to Landlord an amount sufficient to
fully compensate Landlord for Tenant’s breach. Landlord may (but is not obligated to) exhaust any
or all rights and remedies against Tenant before or after resorting to the Security Deposit. If
Landlord makes any application of Tenant’s Security Deposit, Tenant will replenish the amount so
applied within ten days after demand from Landlord. Failure to replenish the Security Deposit
shall be deemed a default under the Lease. Landlord shall not be required to pay Tenant any
interest on the Security Deposit nor hold same in a separate account.
If Landlord sells the Building, Landlord may deliver the Security Deposit or the unapplied
portion thereof to the new owner. Xxxxxx agrees that if Xxxxxxxx turns over the Security Deposit
or the unapplied portion thereof to the new owner, Xxxxxx shall look to the new owner only and not
to Landlord for the return of the Security Deposit upon expiration of the Term. No mortgagee of
the Building will be liable for the return of any portion of the Security Deposit except to the
extent actually received by such mortgagee.
Tenant shall, from time to time promptly upon request, furnish to Landlord Xxxxxx’s and any
guarantor’s current and past financial statements, certified as being true, accurate and complete.
Landlord shall keep such information confidential, but may disclose same to actual or prospective
mortgagees and purchasers.
1. 7. PERMITTED USE. Tenant will use and occupy the Premises for administrative
offices and warehousing and distribution of electronic cigarettes and related accessories and for
no other use or purpose (“Permitted Use”). In addition to the Rules and Regulations set forth in
Exhibit C hereto, Tenant shall not suffer or permit the Premises or any part of them to be used in
any manner, or suffer or permit anything to be done in or brought into or kept in the Premises,
which would in any way: (a) violate any law or requirement of public authorities; (b) cause injury
to the Building or any part thereof; (c) constitute a public or private nuisance; (d) alter the
appearance of the exterior of the Building or of any portion of the interior other than the
Premises pursuant to the provisions of this Lease; or (e) involve the use, generation, storage or
disposal of hazardous or toxic materials or substances.
2. 8. TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING. Tenant shall not transfer, assign,
mortgage, pledge, or encumber this Lease or sublet the Premises in whole or in part, or permit the
Premises to be used or occupied by others, intentionally or by operation of law, without the prior
consent in writing of Landlord in each instance, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If
Tenant is an entity any disposition(s) of the majority of the voting interests therein, or any
change in the power to vote the majority of the interests therein, in one or a series of
transactions, shall be treated as an assignment of this Lease requiring Tenant to obtain Landlord’s
prior written consent thereto. If this Lease is transferred or assigned, or if all or any part of
the Premises shall be sublet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may, after default
by Tenant, collect Base Rent and Additional Rent from the assignee,
subtenant or occupant, and
apply the net amount
collected to the Base Rent and Additional Rent due. Such collection shall not be deemed a
waiver of Landlord’s right to declare Tenant in default of this provision absent Xxxxxxxx’s express
written consent to such assignment or subletting. In the event of any transfer or assignment,
Tenant shall continue to be liable in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease and
shall not be released from the performance thereof absent Landlord’s written consent to such
release. The consent by Landlord to a particular transfer, assignment, mortgage, subletting,
pledge, or encumbrance shall not be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express written
consent of Landlord to any other such transaction. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord’s actual
attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with Xxxxxx’s assignment, subletting, transfer,
or encumbrance of this Lease or any interest therein. All cash or other consideration, including
any excess Rent beyond the Rent set forth herein, received by Xxxxxx as the proceeds of, or
resulting from, any assignment, sale, or sublease of Tenant’s interest in this Lease and/or the
Premises, whether consented to by Landlord or not, shall be paid to Landlord, notwithstanding the
fact that such proceeds exceed the Rent called for hereunder, unless Xxxxxxxx agrees to the
contrary in writing, and Tenant hereby assigns all rights it might have or ever acquire in any such
proceeds to Landlord.
3. 9. SERVICES; FORCE MAJEURE:
A. A. Xxxxxxxx agrees to furnish Tenant, while Xxxxxx is occupying the
Premises and during such time as Tenant is not in default or breach of the Lease,
the following services, subject to the terms of this Lease:
i. (i) Omitted.
ii. (ii) Electric lighting for public areas and service areas of the Building as may in the
judgment of Landlord be reasonably required. Tenant shall pay for the cost of electric and water
consumed within the demised premises. Tenant will permit Landlord access to the timer controlling
the lights for the public areas with reasonable notice to Tenant so Landlord may adjust same at
Landlord’s reasonable discretion.
It is understood that Landlord does not warrant that any of the services referred to above, or
any other services which Landlord may supply, will be free from interruption. Tenant acknowledges
that any one or more of such services and other Landlord obligations hereunder may be suspended or
delayed by reason of accident or repairs, alterations or improvements necessary to be made, or by
strikes or lockouts, or by reason of operation of law, or other causes beyond the reasonable
control of Landlord. No such interruption or discontinuance of service or delay with respect to
other Landlord obligation shall be deemed a breach hereunder by Landlord, an eviction or a
disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or any part thereof, or render Landlord
liable to Tenant for damages by abatement of Base Rent or any Additional Rent or otherwise, or
relieve Tenant from the performance of any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
i. 10. REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS. After receipt from Tenant of written notice of the
need therefore, Landlord, at its expense, shall make necessary repairs to the foundation, outer
walls, interior load bearing walls and roof of the Building and the Building’s Common Areas.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall be released of its obligation under this Paragraph if
the need for repair was caused by, or Landlord’s repair is disturbed, by: (i) the misuse, improper
conduct, omission or neglect of Tenant, its subtenants, agents, servants,
employees, contractors, invitees or licensees (collectively, “Tenant’s Agents”); and/or (ii)
any improvements or changes in or to the Premises made by or for Tenant.
Tenant, at its expense, shall keep the Premises (and any Building systems located outside the
Premises and which exclusively serve the Premises) in good order and condition and shall make all
repairs therein and thereto which are not required of Landlord pursuant to the immediately
preceding Paragraph. Tenant shall maintain and repair the heating, air conditioning and ventilation
(HVAC) serving the Demised Premises and contract with licensed HVAC repair company to perform
monthly maintenance of same. Tenant shall maintain and repair plumbing, lighting and electrical
systems within the Demised Premises except any change to electrical or plumbing due to the building
not meeting Building Code which change is not related to work done by Xxxxxx.
Except as expressly consented to in writing by Landlord, Tenant will make no alterations,
additions or improvements in or to the Premises, provided however, Landlord shall not unreasonably
withhold its consent to any alterations, additions or improvements so long as: (i) the aggregate
cost thereof does not exceed $2,000 and (ii) such alterations, additions or improvements do not
affect the structure or exterior portion of the Building, or the electrical, mechanical,
telecommunications, plumbing or other Building systems. All alterations, fixtures or improvements,
except office furniture, other personal property and fixtures which shall be readily removable
without injury to the Premises, shall be and remain a part of the Premises at the end of the Term,
unless Landlord, by written notice given to Tenant at least thirty (30) days before the end of the
Term, elects to have all or any of the same removed, in which case Tenant shall remove the same at
its expense. In all events, Tenant shall promptly repair all damage caused in connection with any
removal provided for by this Paragraph.
i. 11. DELAY OF POSSESSION. If Xxxxxxxx is unable to give possession of the Premises
by reason of the holding over of any prior tenant or for any other reason other than the action or
inaction of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, so long as such inability continues, a per diem abatement of
Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be allowed to Tenant if such inability to deliver possession
continues beyond the scheduled date for Rent to commence hereunder, but nothing shall operate to
extend the Term and said abatement shall be the full extent of Landlord’s liability to Tenant on
account of delay in Xxxxxx’s obtaining possession of the Premises.
ii. 12. CHARGES DEEMED ADDITIONAL RENT. All charges to Tenant by Landlord for
services or for work done on the Premises by order of Tenant, or otherwise accruing under this
Lease, shall be considered as Additional Rent and be collectible as such.
iii. 13. FIRE OR CASUALTY. If the Premises shall be rendered untenantable by fire or
other casualty during the Term, Landlord shall have 270 days from the date on which the Premises
are rendered untenantable to make the Premises tenantable. Landlord shall have the right to
utilize all insurance proceeds required for leasehold improvements as specified in Paragraph 20 of
the Lease. If the Premises cannot, in the judgment of Landlord, be made tenantable within that
time, Landlord shall, upon reaching such judgment, give notice to Tenant that the Premises cannot
be made tenantable within 270 days. In such event either party may terminate this Lease by giving
written notice of termination to the other party within 10 days after the giving of such notice by
Landlord. Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace any part of the partitions,
fixtures or other improvements which
may have previously been placed in the Premises by Xxxxxx.
In the event of termination, Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be paid only to the date of
the fire or casualty. During any time that the Premises are untenantable due to causes set forth
in this Paragraph, Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
even if the Premises are not rendered untenantable in whole or in part by fire or other casualty,
Landlord will have the right to terminate this Lease upon 10 days’ prior written notice to Tenant
if (i) the Building is substantially destroyed and Landlord decides not to restore it or to restore
it in such a way as to materially alter the Premises, (ii) the insurance proceeds available to
Landlord to restore the Building are, in Landlord’s opinion, inadequate to do so or (iii) less than
12 months remains on this Lease at the time the restoration will be completed. Upon any such
termination, Landlord and Tenant shall each be released from all further liability under this Lease
accruing after the effective termination date.
Any insurance which may be carried by Landlord or Tenant against loss or damage in the
Building or the Premises shall be for the sole benefit of the party carrying such insurance and
nothing herein contained shall require Landlord to carry insurance on Tenant’s contents.
i. 14. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Tenant shall promptly comply with all laws, guidelines,
rules, regulations and requirements of the Federal, State, County and City governments applicable
to the Premises, including but not limited to the Americans with Disabilities Act, applicable
environmental laws and those for the correction, prevention and abatement of nuisances, unsafe
conditions, or other grievances arising from or pertaining to the use or occupancy of the Premises.
ii. 15. LATE PAYMENT DAMAGE AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES. Xxxxxx agrees to promptly pay all
Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges that accrue under this Lease. If any monies shall
remain unpaid for 5 days after the same become due and payable, without waiving such default or any
other available rights and remedies, Landlord shall be entitled to a late charge of 18% per annum
of the payment overdue, computed on a per diem basis from the date it was due and a late fee of 5%
of the payment overdue. In addition, upon request of Xxxxxxxx, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for
all costs incurred by Landlord in the enforcement of any of the provisions of this Lease and/or the
collection of any sums due to Landlord under this Lease (including, without limitation, collection

in order to let or relet the Premises for the whole, or any part of the, remainder of the Term or
for a longer period, in Landlord’s name or as the agent of Tenant. From any monies collected or
received as a result of such letting or reletting, Landlord shall first pay to itself the cost and
expense of retaking, repossession, repairing or altering the Premises, including the cost and
expense of removing all persons and property therefrom; second, pay to itself the cost and expense
sustained in securing any new tenants; and, third, pay to itself any balance remaining on account
of the liability of Tenant to Landlord for a sum equal to all Base Rent, Additional Rent and
charges reserved herein and unpaid by Tenant for the remainder of the Term. No re-entry by
Xxxxxxxx, whether had or taken under summary proceedings or otherwise, shall absolve or discharge
Tenant from liability hereunder.
v. (v) Declare all Base Rent, Additional Rent and any other charges due or to become due for
the entire remaining Term immediately due and payable and accelerate same so that the full amount
of all such rent and other charges shall become immediately due and payable by Xxxxxx, and Landlord
may collect all such unpaid rent and other sums by distress or otherwise.
vi. (vi) Take any and all other action and pursue all other rights and remedies provided at
law or in equity or under this Lease or any other instrument referred to herein or related hereto.
Should any monies collected by Landlord pursuant to any of the provisions of this Paragraph be

charges reserved herein, Tenant shall remain liable for any such deficiency and the right of
Landlord to recover from Tenant the amount thereof or a sum equal to all Base Rent, Additional Rent
and other charges reserved herein shall survive the issuance of any dispossessory warrant or
other termination hereof.
Tenant, for and on behalf of itself, and all persons claiming through or under Tenant, waives
any and all right of redemption or re-entry or repossession or to restore the operation of this
Lease in case Tenant shall be disposed by judgment or by warrant of any court or judge or in case
of re-entry or repossession by Landlord and Landlord and Tenant, so far as permitted by law, waive
and will waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the
parties hereto against the other on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected
with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Xxxxxx’s use or occupancy of the Premises
or any claim of injury or damage.
The rights of Landlord as contained in this Paragraph 16 shall survive any termination of this
Lease.
i. 17. NO WAIVER AND CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No waiver of any provision of this Lease by
either party shall be deemed to imply or constitute a further waiver by such party of the same or
any other provision hereof. The rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease are cumulative
and are not intended to be exclusive and the use of one shall not be taken to exclude or waive the
right of use of another, and Landlord shall be entitled to pursue all rights and remedies available
to landlords under the laws of the State of Florida. Landlord may accept partial payments without
waiving any rights and without same constituting a waiver of Tenant’s default.
ii. 18. RIGHT OF ENTRY. Landlord, or any of its agents, shall have the right (but not
the obligation) to enter the Premises during all reasonable hours, and after reasonable prior
notice (which need not be written), to examine the same or to make such repairs, additions or
alterations as Landlord may deem necessary. In the event of an emergency, Landlord or its agents
may (but shall not be obligated to) enter the Premises at any time without notice to appraise and
correct the emergency condition. Tenant also grants Landlord or its agents the right after
reasonable prior notice (which need not be written) to exhibit the Premises at any time within 180
days before the expiration of the Term.
iii. 19. PERSONAL PROPERTY. All personal property placed or moved into the Building
or parking area shall be at the risk of Tenant or other owner and Landlord shall not be liable for
any damage to personal property, or to Tenant, arising from the bursting or leaking of water pipes
or otherwise from any act or omission of any cotenant or occupant of the Building or of any other
person. Any damages to the Building arising out of Xxxxxx’s bringing of personal property into the
Building shall be repaired by Landlord at the sole cost and expense of Tenant.
iv. 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF LANDLORD; INSURANCE; SUBROGATION WAIVER. Tenant agrees to
indemnify Landlord and its managing agent, if any, against all liabilities, costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees through all appellate actions and
proceedings) arising from or in any way connected with the Premises or any acts, omissions, neglect
or fault of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Agents including but not limited to any breach of this Lease
and any death, personal injury or property damage occurring in or about the Premises or other part
of the Building, including the parking and outside areas, and the introduction of or disturbance of
any existing hazardous or toxic materials or substances.
Tenant agrees that, at all times during the Term (as well as prior and subsequent thereto if
Tenant or any of Tenant’s Agents shall then use or occupy any portion of the Premises), it shall
keep in force, with an insurance company licensed to do business in the State in which the Premises
are located, which insurance company shall be acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion,
commercial general liability and special form property insurance for Tenant’s personalty and
leasehold improvements in a combined single limit of not less than $2,000,000 for bodily injury and
property damage per occurrence as to liability and 100% full replacement cost as to property damage
(without deductible insofar as liability coverage is concerned). Tenant shall also maintain
throughout the Term worker’s compensation insurance with not less than the maximum statutory limits
of coverage; employee’s non-owned and hired vehicle insurance for any non-owned vehicles that are
used by Tenant’s employees in the course of Tenant’s business in an amount of not less than
$1,000,000; if Tenant owns or leases any vehicles used in the operation of its business, commercial
automobile insurance in an amount of not less than $1,000,000; business interruption insurance
sufficient to cover Tenant’s overhead and payroll for at least six months; and such other insurance
as Landlord may reasonably require and as is customarily carried by businesses similar to Tenant’s
business, in such amounts and conditions as Landlord may reasonably require. Such policies shall:
(a) include Landlord, its managing agent, and such other parties as Landlord may designate as
parties insured; (b) be considered primary insurance; and (c) provide that it may not be cancelled
or changed without at least 30 days’ prior written notice from the insurer to each party insured
thereunder; and (c) in the case of insurance covering the Building interior improvements name
Landlord as Loss Payee. Xxxxxxxx understands and agrees that Tenant shall not be responsible for
any payment for property insurance for the building itself except as outlined above.
Upon request from time to time, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with duplicate original
certificates of all such paid-up insurance. In the event of damage to or destruction of the
Premises, Tenant shall have the obligation promptly to repair or restore Tenant’s property to its
original or better condition.
Each party shall look first to any insurance in its favor before making any claim against the
other party for recovery for loss or damage resulting from fire or other casualty; Landlord and
Tenant each hereby releases and waives all right of recovery against the other or any one claiming
through or under each of them by way of subrogation or otherwise. The foregoing release and waiver
shall be in force only if both releasors’ insurance policies provide that such a release or waiver
shall not invalidate the insurance, and each party hereby agrees to obtain such a clause or an
endorsement of like effect (so long as the same shall be obtainable) and furnish evidence thereof
to the other party from time to time upon request. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is not
obligated to carry insurance on Tenant’s furniture, furnishings, fixtures, equipment and/or
improvements, and agrees that Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or
replace the same.
i. 21. LANDLORD’S MORTGAGE; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE; SUBORDINATION. Landlord shall have
the unrestricted right to sell, lease, mortgage and refinance the Building. Tenant agrees, within
10 days after request, to execute such instruments as Landlord or its mortgagee or the purchaser of
the Building (the “Purchaser”) shall require, certifying whether this Lease is in full force and
effect and listing any modifications. This statement, commonly known as an estoppel certificate,
is intended to be for the benefit of Landlord, any
Purchaser, lessor of the Building or mortgagee of Landlord, and any purchaser or assignee of
Landlord’s mortgagee. The estoppel certificate will also contain such other information as
Landlord or its mortgagee or the Purchaser or the lessor may reasonably request.
This Lease is and at all times shall be subject and subordinate to all present and future
mortgages and long term leases which may affect the Building, and to all recastings, renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements, and extensions of any such mortgage(s). The foregoing
shall be self-operative and any mortgagee shall require no further instrument of subordination. In
addition to the foregoing, at Landlord’s request, Xxxxxx will execute any instruments and/or
certificates required to carry out the intent hereof. In addition to all other remedies, if Xxxxxx
fails at any time to execute any such instrument, Landlord is hereby irrevocably appointed
attorney-in-fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest) on behalf of Tenant with full
power and authority on behalf of Tenant to subordinate this Lease to any present or future mortgage
or other lien on the Premises or the Building.

ii. 24. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Lease contains the entire agreement between the
parties regarding the subject matters referred to herein, and supersedes all prior oral and written

signed by Landlord and Tenant. No offer of surrender of the Premises shall be binding unless
accepted by Landlord in writing.

iv. 26. PEACEFUL POSSESSION. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease,
Xxxxxxxx agrees that Tenant shall peaceably have, hold and enjoy the premises without hindrance or

expense of Tenant; provided that any award made to Tenant shall be in addition to, and shall not
reduce, any award which Landlord may claim in connection with such taking, and further provided
that in no event shall Tenant have any claim for the value of the unexpired Term. The same
provisions apply if Landlord sells the Building to a public entity under threat of a taking.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, even if the Premises are not affected in whole or in part by a
taking, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon 10 days’ prior written notice to
Tenant if in Landlord’s judgment a material portion of the Building or the Property shall be taken
by condemnation or eminent domain proceedings. Upon any such termination, Landlord and Tenant

affixed to the Premises by Tenant and restore the Premises to such condition prior to the earlier
of the end of the Term or the date Tenant is required to vacate the Premises. Tenant will pay to
Landlord upon request all damages that Landlord may suffer on account of Xxxxxx’s failure to
surrender possession as and when aforesaid and Xxxxxx will indemnify Landlord against all
liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees through
all appellate actions and proceedings, including enforcement and collection proceedings) arising
out of Xxxxxx’s delay in so delivering possession, including but not limited to claims of any
succeeding tenant.

consent or request of Landlord, express or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any person for
the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials to the Premises or any part
thereof, nor as giving Tenant any right, power, or authority to contract for or permit the

that the same has been so recorded or attached.

released from all further liability to Tenant under this Lease and Xxxxxxxx’s successor shall
thereupon become liable to Tenant for all further obligations of Landlord under this Lease.
Landlord shall have the free and unrestricted right to sell, transfer or assign the Property, or
any part thereof.
iii. 31. ATTORNMENT AND MORTGAGEE’S REQUESTS. If any mortgagee of the Building comes

mortgage or otherwise, upon the mortgagee’s request Tenant will attorn to the mortgagee.
