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 a portion of Lots 8 through 13 excluding Xxxx 0, 00, xxx 00 xx Xxxx Xx. 0, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxx, 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 levied upon the use and occupancy of the premises as set forth in Article 4 hereof. 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 terra 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, c/o Simone Structures, J.V., 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxx, #00, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 or at such other place as lessor shall designate in writing to Lessee.
B. In the event that any payment herein provided for by Lessee to Lessor shall become overdue for a period in excess often (10) days, then, at Lessor’s option, a “late charge” of one and one-half percent (1.5%) of such payment as additional rent may be charged.
C. The base rent shall be increased to compensate for changes in the cost of living as computed by reference to the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers, U.S. City Average, all items (1982-84 = 100) published by Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor with a minimum of three (3%) percent and a maximum of five (5%) percent. Adjustments to the base rent shall be computed annually commencing on the first (1st) anniversary of the commencement date and on each annual anniversary of the commencement date. The amount of adjustment shall be arrived for succeeding years of the lease term by dividing the most recent CPI by the preceding year’s CPI and multiplying the monthly rent by the result. Because actual CPI figures are not published until sometime after the month for which they are collected and therefore not available at the time an increase should become effected, a CPI figure from two months prior to the increase month shall be used; however, under
3
no circumstances shall the Tenant pay an annual rent of less than the amount of Base Rent paid in the year before. In the event this price index is discontinued or changed in any way, at the election of the Lessor the parties herein shall accept comparable statistics on the Cost of Living as computed and published by an agency of the United States Government or by a responsible financial periodical of recognized authority to be selected by the Lessor.
3. ANNUAL EXPENSES:

(a) A projected Expense Statement for the remaining portion of the Operation Year which falls within the first year of the term of this Lease shall be furnished by Lessor to Lessee upon the execution of this Lease. Lessee shall thereupon pay to Lessor, together with the first installment of base monthly rent, a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the Percentage times the Expenses specified on the projected Expense Statement for such Operation Year, which sum shall be designated as the “Expense Payment” for the Operation year. On the first day of the following month and on the first day of each succeeding month thereafter, until readjusted pursuant to the terms of this Article 3, the monthly rent payable under this Lease shall be increased by an amount equal to the Expense Payment for that Operation Year.

Lessor shall have the sole option, which shall be exercised by providing Lessee with written notice thereof terminating Lessee’s rights and obligations under this Lease rather than permitting any assignment or subletting by Lessee.
C. Should Lessor Permit any assignment or subletting by Lessee and should the monies received by Lessee as a result of such assignment or subletting minus an amount reasonably assessed by Lessee for services it provides for any assignee or sublessee and any other costs Lessee incurs pursuant to any assignment or subletting be greater than the amount due to Lessor under this Lease, then, at Lessor’s election, the excess shall be payable by Lessee to Lessor, it being the parties’ intention that Lessor, and not Lessee, shall be the party to receive any profit from any assignment or subletting. Any and all of Lessee’s options to lease additional space in the Building to be exercised subsequent to the date if such assignment or subletting are absolutely waived and terminated at Lessor’s sole option.

This provision shall survive any termination of this Lease.

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.
20. CONDEMNATION: If the whole or any substantial part of the premises shall be condemned by eminent domain, or acquired by private purchase in lieu thereof for any public or quasi-public purpose, this Lease shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate on the date of the vesting of title through such proceeding or purchase and Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for the value of any of any unexpired portion of the term of this Lease, nor shall Lessee be entitled to any part of the condemnation award or private purchase price awarded to Lessor, nor shall Lessor be entitled to any condemnation award, awarded to Lessee. If less than a substantial part of the premises is taken by condemnation, and as a result the Lessee’s use of the Premises is not interfered with, this Lease shall not terminate, but all forms of rent due hereunder shall xxxxx in proportion to the portion of the premises so taken. In no event shall Lessor be liable to Lessee for any business interruption, diminution in use or for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease.
21. RIGHT OF ENTRY: Lessee shall permit Lessor to erect and maintain pipes and conduits in and through the premise.

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
15
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 term of this Lease and restore the premises to their original condition, except for 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 tenant 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.
24. 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. The rent hereunder shall not commence until the premises are available for occupancy by Lessee.
25. QUIET ENJOYMENT: Lessor covenants that if Lessee pays the rent and performs all of Lessee’s other obligations under this Lease, Lessee may peaceably and quietly enjoy the demised premises, subject to the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease and the ground Lease, underlying lease and/or mortgages herein before mentioned.
16
26. INDEMNITY: Lessee shall indemnify, defend and save Lessor harmless from and against any liability or expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees through all appellate levels, arising from the use or occupation of the premises by Lessee, or any of its guests, invitees, customers or agents on the premises with Lessee’s express or implied consent.

28. JURY WAIVER: To the extent permitted by law, Lessor and Lessee hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim involving any matter whatsoever arising out or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and tenant, Lessee’s use or occupancy of the premises (except for personal injury or property damage) or involving the right to any statutory relief or remedy.

Said party shall have the right, within thirty (30) days after receipt of said notice, to correct or remedy such default before Tenant may take no action under the Lease by reason of such default if such party shall have commenced, during said thirty-day period, to remedy the alleged default and continues thereafter to use its diligence to remedy the alleged default.

In the event of such sale, transfer or Lease, Lessor shall also be relieved of all existing obligations and liabilities hereunder, provided that the purchaser, transferee or Lessee of the Building or Building Project, as the case may be, assumes in writing such obligations and liabilities (a copy of such assumption will be provided to Lessee).

This right, other than the right to collect reasonable attorney fees and any other right duplicated in Article 7, is in addition to the right given Lessor to collect from Lessee all damages, costs and expenses incurred by Lessor as a result of a default by Lessee as set forth in Article 7 hereof; it being understood no damages or costs are to be duplicated.
