ARTICLE II
PREMISES AND TERM
2.01 Premises. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Landlord
does demise unto Tenant and Tenant does take from Landlord for the Term the
Demised Premises, together with reasonable rights of access, ingress and egress,
and rights to joint use of such parking areas, driveways, sidewalks and other
common areas as Landlord shall provide from time to time, which rights shall be
in common with Landlord and others claiming under Landlord and shall be to use
such area only for the purposes designated by Landlord. Landlord hereby reserves
the right at any time to make alterations or additions to and to build
additional stories on the building in which the Demised Premises are contained
and to build adjoining the same. Landlord also reserves the right to (i)
construct other buildings or improvements in the Shopping Center of which the
Demised Premises are a part from time to time and to make alterations thereof or
additions thereon and to demolish any of such building or buildings and to build
adjoining the same (ii) alter the location of, or otherwise modify, the parking
areas, driveways and other common areas, (iii) add additional real property to
the Shopping Center, and (iv) construct double-decks or elevated parking
facilities.
Tenant shall have a license to use any and all appurtenances and
easements benefiting the Premises and the Shopping Center, along with sufficient
Common Areas and Parking to support its intended use of the Demised Premises.
Any changes, additions or alterations to the Demised Premises or the Shopping
Center shall not (a) significantly impair access to, visibility of, or frontage
of the Demised Premises, (b) materially affect the conduct of Tenant's business
therein, or (c) significantly detract from Tenant's signage, create confusion
regarding the business conducted in the Demised Premises, or significantly
adversely affect the presentation of Tenant's exterior signage and frontage. In
the event of any such interference by Landlord, its agents or employees, Tenant
1
shall give Landlord written notice thereof,. Landlord shall have a period of
twenty-four hours to diligently proceed to cure as soon as practicable
thereafter any such interference. If such interference continues for a period of
more than three (3) days after the day Tenant gives Landlord such notice, and
the interference is material, in Tenant's reasonable business opinion, then all
Rent and other charges payable under this Lease shall be abated for the period
until such interference has been cured by Landlord. For the purposes of this
paragraph, the construction of a free standing building situated at 0000X Xxxxx
Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx shall not be deemed a significant impairment of visibility to
the Demised Premises.
2.02 Initial Term. The Initial Term of this Lease shall commence
upon the Date of Occupancy. The phrase "Term" as used in this Lease, shall be
the Initial Term of this Lease and, if this Lease is renewed pursuant to the
terms hereof, any Renewal Term.
ARTICLE Ill
RENT
3.01 Annual Minimum Rent. Tenant shall, commencing on the Date of
Occupancy and thereafter during the Term, pay the Annual Minimum Rent to
Landlord, at such place as Landlord shall designate in writing from time to time
prior to the due date thereof, unless abated or diminished as hereinafter
provided, in equal monthly installments on the first day of each month, in
advance and without effect or demand.
3.02 Administrative Charges for Late Payment. There shall be an
administrative fee as detailed below for any charge or payment due, including
Annual Minimum Rent, not received at the place designated as the location of the
Landlord to which payments are to be made. Annual Minimum Rent not paid when due
shall bear interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date due until
paid, but in no event shall such late charge be less than Fifty and 00/100
($50.00) Dollars for each such late installment. If Tenant pays any installment
of Annual Minimum Rent or any other sum by check and such check is returned for
insufficient funds or other reasons not the fault of Landlord, then Tenant shall
pay to Landlord on demand a processing fee of Fifty and 00/100 ($50.00) dollars,
plus any processing fee that the Landlord may have been charged by its bank.
Said amount shall be charged to Tenant per returned check:
A. $50.00 if not received within five (5) days of due
date for each payment.
B. An additional $50.00 if not received within fifteen
(15) days of due date for each payment.
C. An additional $50.00 if not received within thirty
(30) days of due date for each payment.
D. An additional $50.00 if not received within forty
five (45) days of due date for each payment
The above fees are necessitated by the additional administrative and
legal expenses incurred in the handling, processing and collection of charges
not received when due from Tenant. Payment of any administrative fees incurred
due to late payment shall not negate the fact that the Lease was in default due
to the payment not having been received when due. Additionally, it is understood
that the above charges relate to administrative expenses incurred prior to any
litigation and are not in any manner an off-set against legal fees to be borne
by Tenant in the event of litigation of any kind and for any reason as and to
the extent provided in this Lease.
3.03 Cost of Living Increase. Annual Minimum Rent specified in
Paragraph 1.01 of Article I shall, commencing in the third year of the lease
Term, be increased annually by the amount of the "Rent adjustment" which shall
be computed by reference to the statistics published in the Monthly Labor Review
by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, designated
"CPI-W" for all urban wage earners and clerical workers, U.S. city average (1967
= 100), all items (hereinafter called the "Consumer Price Index"). The Rent
Adjustment shall be computed by the following formula:
I = Consumer Price Index figure for the month that is two (2) months
prior to the calendar month in which the period under adjustment
begins.
i = Consumer Price Index for the month that is two (2) months prior to
the calendar month in which the Date of Occupancy occurs.
(I - i) x First Year's Annual Minimum Rent = "Rent Adjustment"
If the Rent Adjustment is a positive number (if I is larger than i),
the Rent Adjustment shall be added to the first year's Annual Minimum
Rent and the sum thereof shall be the Annual Minimum Rent for the
subsequent year. Monthly installments shall be recomputed based on the
adjusted rent; provided however, that adjusted rent shall not be less
than three percent (3%) increase of the previous year's Annual Minimum
Rent, plus applicable sales tax. If the Bureau of Labor Statistics
shall change the method of determining the Consumer Price Index, the
formula for determining "rent adjustment" shall be altered or amended,
if possible, so as to continue the base period and base figure, but in
the event it shall be impossible so to do, or in the event the Bureau
of Labor Statistics shall cease to publish the said statistical
information, and it is not available from any other source, public, or
private, acceptable to both parties, or by arbitration if the parties
are unable to agree, then a new formula for determining the "rent
adjustment" shall be adopted for the parties by a board of arbitration
to consist of three (3) persons, one (1) of whom shall be chosen by the
Landlord, one (1) of whom shall be chosen by Tenant, and the third
shall be chosen by the two (2) selected. If either of the parties shall
fail to select an arbitrator within sixty (60) days after actual
receipt of notice by the other party that an arbitrator has been
selected, then the second arbitrator may be selected by the other
party. The board of arbitration shall meet as soon as practical after
appointment and shall fix the formula for determining "rent adjustment"
and shall file a written report with the Landlord and with the Tenant
2
signed by at least two (2) members of the board of arbitration, and the
decision of the board of arbitration shall be final and shall be
binding upon both parties.
3.04 Percentage Rental. (Omitted.)
3.05 Security Deposit. Tenant will deposit with Landlord upon
Tenant's receipt of the Vacating Notice, the sum of Seven Thousand Dollars
($7,000.00) (the "Security Deposit"). Said Security Deposit shall be held by
Landlord, without liability for interest, as security for the faithful
performance by Tenant of all the terms of this Lease. If any of the Rent herein
reserved or any other charge payable by Tenant to Landlord shall be overdue and
unpaid or should Landlord make payments on behalf of the Tenant, or if Tenant
should fail to perform any of the terms of this Lease, all in accordance with
the applicable provisions of this Lease, then Landlord may, at its option and
without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have on account
thereof, appropriate and apply said entire deposit, or so much thereof as may be
necessary to compensate Landlord, toward the payment of Rent, additional charge
or loss or damage sustained by Landlord due to such breach on the part of
Tenant; and Tenant shall forthwith upon demand restore said security to the
original sum deposited. In addition, should Tenant violate any term or condition
under this Lease more than two (2) times within any twelve-month period,
irrespective of whether or not such default is cured, then without limiting
Landlord's other rights and remedies provided in the Lease or at law or equity,
Landlord may require an increase in the Security Deposit by an amount equal to
two and one-half times the Security Deposit which shall be paid by Tenant to
Landlord forthwith on demand. Should Tenant not be in default of any of its
payment obligations to Landlord under this Lease at the time of the expiration
of this Lease, said deposit shall be returned in full to Tenant at the end of
the Term. In the event of bankruptcy or other credit-debtor insolvency
proceedings against Tenant, all Security Deposits shall be deemed to be applied
to the payment of Rent and other charges due Landlord for all periods prior to
the filing of such proceedings.
ARTICLE IV
CONSTRUCTION
4.01 Construction of Improvements.
A. Except for Landlord's Work specified in Exhibit B,
Tenant agrees to accept the Demised Premises in their "as is" condition. Tenant
agrees to complete the Improvements referred to on Exhibit "C", at its sole cost
and expense. Landlord shall not be required to do any work in connection with
the Improvements referred to on Exhibit "C" or make any other improvements in or
to the Demised Premises on Tenant's behalf and Tenant specifically agrees to
take the Demised Premises in "as is" condition once the Landlord's Work, if any,
as specified in Exhibit "B", has been completed.
B. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the
contrary, Tenant has delivered to Landlord a copy of the construction plans
relating to improvements to be made by Tenant in the Demised Premises (the
"Plans"). Landlord hereby agrees that Tenant may, at its expense, make
improvements to the Demised Premises (the "Improvements") consistent with the
Plans, and may make all subsequent non-structural modifications or changes
thereto that Tenant deems necessary to improve the Demised Premises so that such
premises are suitable for the operation of an outpatient diagnostic imaging
facility therein. Other than as set forth in the Plans, Tenant will not make any
other structural modifications or alterations in or to the Demised Premises
without obtaining the Landlord's prior consent and all such Improvements will be
made in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. Tenant shall
be permitted to commence construction of such Improvements upon Tenant's receipt
of the Vacating Notice. Tenant agrees that it will, with diligence, proceed to
install such Improvements and perform such other work as shall be necessary or
appropriate in order to construct and complete the Improvements in the Demised
Premises.
ARTICLE V
WARRANTIES OF LANDLORD
5.01 Covenant of Title. The Landlord covenants and warrants that it
has full right, power and authority to enter into this Lease for the Term herein
granted, and any extensions or renewals thereof; that it has a good and
marketable title to the entire Shopping Center; and that the said Demised
Premises may be used by the Tenant during the Term of this Lease for the
purposes herein set forth.
5.02 Quiet Enjoyment. The Landlord further covenants and agrees
that the Tenant, upon paying the Rent herein reserved and performing the
covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained on its part to be
performed, shall at all times during the Term hereof, and any extensions or
renewals thereof, peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the said Demised
Premises, without any interruption or disturbance from the Landlord, subject
however to the terms of this Lease. This covenant shall be construed as running
with the land to, and binding upon and against, subsequent owners and successors
in interest and is not, nor shall it operate or be construed as, a personal
covenant of the Landlord, except to the extent of the Landlord's interest in the
Demised Premises and only as long as such interest shall continue, and
thereafter this covenant shall be binding only upon such subsequent owners and
successors in interest, to the extent of their respective interest, as and when
they shall acquire the same, and only so long as they shall retain such
interests.
ARTICLE VI
DATE OF OCCUPANCY AND USE
3
6.01 Acceptance by Tenant.
A. Once the Landlord's Work has been completed in
accordance with Exhibit "B" and the current tenant has vacated the Demised
Premises, Landlord shall so notify Tenant in writing and Tenant agrees to accept
possession thereof after receipt of such notice. By occupying the Demised
Premises to conduct its business prior to the date of receiving any such notice
from Landlord (except as provided in Section 6.01B), Tenant shall be deemed to
acknowledge that Landlord has complied with all of the covenants and obligations
with respect to having the Demised Premises ready for occupancy, and that the
Demised Premises are in good order, satisfactory condition and that all
Landlord's Work has been properly completed in accordance with Exhibit "B".
B. Advance Possession for Fixturing. Subject to the
approval of the existing tenant, prior to the Date of Occupancy, Tenant shall
have the right and privilege (but at its own risk) to receive, store, and
install its trade fixtures and otherwise construct (or plan to construct) the
Improvements in or on the Demised Premises, provided however, that any such
receiving, storing, installing and constructing (or planning to construct) shall
be in a manner that will not interfere with Landlord's Work and that Tenant's
liability insurance must be in full force and effect. It is expressly agreed
that such action by Tenant shall not constitute acceptance of or occupying the
Demised Premises as being completed as required herein.
C. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant will execute,
within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice that the existing Tenant
has vacated the Demised Premises (herein referred to as the "Vacating Notice") a
supplement to this Lease, in the form attached hereto as Supplement I, fixing
the date of the beginning and of the ending of the Term of this Lease.
6.02 Use of Demised Premises. Tenant will use the Demised Premises
for the Permitted Use only and for no other purpose without the prior written
consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (Landlord
hereby acknowledging and agreeing that Tenant shall be the only Tenant in the
Shopping Center during the term of this Lease whose primary business is
providing positron emission tomography scanning and related diagnostic imaging
services).
A. Additional Affirmative Covenants of Tenant. Tenant
agrees:
1. To comply with all requirements of any of
the constituted public authorities, and with the terms of any State or Federal
statute or local ordinance or regulation applicable to Tenant or its use of the
Demised Premises, and save Landlord harmless from penalties, fines, costs,
expenses or damages resulting from failure to do so including laws relating to
the use of hazardous materials and save Landlord harmless from penalties, fines,
costs, expenses or damages resulting from failure to do so
2. To give Landlord prompt written notice of
any accident, fire or damage occurring on or to the Demised Premises.
3. That all loading and unloading of goods
shall be done only at such times, in the areas and through such entrances as may
be designated for such purposes by Landlord. Trailers or trucks shall not be
permitted to remain parked overnight in any area of the Shopping Center, whether
loaded or unloaded.
4. To keep all garbage and refuse in the kind
of container specified by Landlord and to place the same outside of the Demised
Premises, prepared for collection in the manner and at the times and places
specified by Landlord, and in accordance with municipal regulations.
5. Not to burn, place or permit any rubbish,
obstruction or merchandise in outside areas immediately adjoining the Demised
Premises.
6. To keep the Demised Premises clean, orderly,
sanitary and free from objectionable odors and from insects, vermin and other
pests.
7. To require Tenant's employees to park their
vehicles only in those portions of the parking area designated for that purpose
by Landlord. If Tenant or Tenant's employees violate this provision, then Tenant
agrees to pay Landlord five and 00/100 ($5.00) Dollars per day per vehicle for
the violation.
8. To keep its signs and exterior lights, if
any, well lighted every day of the Term of this Lease from dusk to 9:00 PM,
including Sundays and holidays.
9. To conduct its business in the Demised
Premises in all respects in a dignified manner in accordance with standards
consistent with the operation of other outpatient diagnostic imaging facilities
operated and/or managed by Tenant, or its affiliates. Tenant will maintain the
Demised Premises in good condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted), including
but not limited to, keeping the walls painted, replacing floor coverings
installed by Tenant and replacing damaged furnishings, all when reasonably
required to maintain such condition.
10. To comply with all reasonable rules and
regulations of Landlord in effect at the time of the execution of this Lease or
at any time or times, and from time to time, promulgated by Landlord which at
its sole discretion shall deem necessary in connection with the Demised
Premises, the building of which the Demised Premises are a part, or the Shopping
Center, including the installation of such fire extinguishers and other safety
equipment as Landlord may reasonably require. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
such rules and regulations will not be inconsistent with or otherwise alter any
of Tenant's rights under this Lease, or impose any material expense upon Tenant
to comply therewith.
11. To pay all liens of contractors,
subcontractors, mechanics, laborers, materialmen and other items of like
character, and to indemnify Landlord against all legal costs and charges, bond
premiums for release of liens; including counsel fees reasonably incurred in the
defense of any suit in discharging, the said Demised Premises or any part
thereof from any liens, judgments, or encumbrances caused or suffered by Tenant.
It is understood and agreed between the parties hereto that the costs and
charges above referred to shall be considered as rent due and shall be included
in any lien for rent. The Tenant herein shall not have any authority to create
any liens for labor or material on the Landlord's interest in the above
described property and all persons contracting with the Tenant for the
destruction or removal of any building or for the erection, installation,
alteration, or repair of any building or other improvements on the above
described Demised Premises and all materialmen, contractors, mechanics, and
laborers, are hereby charged with notice that they must look to the Tenant and
to the Tenant's interests only to secure the payment of any xxxx for work done
or material furnished during the rental period created by this Lease.
4
12. Not to enter into, execute or deliver any
financing agreement that can be considered as having priority over any mortgage
or deed of trust and in the event Tenant does so execute or deliver such
financing agreement, such action on the part of the Tenant shall be considered a
breach of the terms and conditions of this Lease entitling Landlord to such
remedies as are provided for herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord
acknowledges that Tenant will grant its equipment lender a lien and security
interest in the diagnostic imaging scanning and ancillary equipment acquired
and/or leased from such lender, which lien and security interest will not be
considered a breach of this Lease and Landlord will, simultaneously with the
execution of this Lease, sign and deliver to such equipment lender the Lender/s
form of Landlord's Waiver and Consent.
13. To be responsible for and to pay before
delinquency all municipal, county or state taxes assessed during the term of
this Lease against any leasehold interest or personal property of any kind,
owned by or placed in, upon or about the Demised Premises by the Tenant.
14. To comply, at its own expense, with all
recommendations and requirements with respect to the Demised Premises, or its
use or occupancy, of the insurance underwriters and the State of Florida
Department of Insurance or any similar public or private body, and any
governmental authority, having jurisdiction over insurance rates with respect to
the use or occupancy of the Shopping Center, including, but not limited to,
installing fire extinguishers or automatic dry chemical extinguishing systems,
making any changes, modifications or alterations in the sprinkler system or
installing additional sprinkler heads or changing the location of partitions,
trade fixtures or other contents of the Demised Premises.
C. Negative Covenants of Tenant. Tenant agrees that it
will not do any of the following without the prior consent in writing of
Landlord:
1. Use or operate any machinery that, in
Landlord's opinion, is harmful to the building or disturbing to other tenants in
the building of which the Demised Premises is a part; nor shall Tenant use any
loudspeakers, televisions, phonographs, radios or other devices in a manner so
as to be heard or seen outside of the Demised Premises, nor display merchandise
on the exterior of the Demised Premises either for sale or for promotion
purposes. Landlord hereby acknowledges and consents to Tenant's operation of a
diagnostic imaging scanner and ancillary equipment in the Demised Premises which
will not constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant. Tenant will operate and
maintain such imaging scanner in accordance with the manufacturer's
specifications.
2. Do or suffer to be done, any act, matter or
thing objectionable to the fire insurance companies whereby the fire insurance
or any other insurance now in force or hereafter to be placed on the Demised
Premises or any part thereof, or on the building of which the Demised Premises
may be a part, shall become void or suspended, or whereby the same shall be
rated as a more hazardous risk than at the date when Tenant receives possession
hereunder. In case of a breach of this covenant, in addition to all other
remedies of Landlord hereunder, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as additional
rent any and all increase or increases of costs on insurance carried by Landlord
on the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, or on the building of which the
Demised Premises may be a part, caused in any way by the occupancy of Tenant.
3. Attach any awnings, antenna or other
projections to the roof or the outside walls of the Demised Premises of the
building of which the Demised Premises are a part.
4. Conduct any auction, fire, bankruptcy, or
selling-out sale on or about the Demised Premises.
5. Execute or deliver any security interest in
any trade fixtures or other property placed upon the Demised Premises, at any
time, except as otherwise provided in this Lease with respect to security
interests granted by Tenant to its equipment lender.
6. Solicit business, display merchandise, or
distribute any handbills or other advertising matter in the common areas of the

non-performance thereof, comply with the requirements of such notice; and
further, that if Tenant shall not comply with such notice to the satisfaction of
Landlord within forty-eight (48) hours after delivery thereof, (or, if such

covered by Landlord's fire and extended coverage insurance. If Tenant provides
notice to Landlord of required repairs to the roof of the Building and Landlord
fails to commence such repairs within seven (7) business days after such notice,
Tenant may effect such repairs, within a reasonable scope of work, at reasonable

subsurface or from any other place or by dampness or by any other cause of

be so kept or stored at the risk of Tenant only and Tenant shall hold Landlord
harmless from any claims arising out of damage to the same, including
subrogation claims by Tenant's insurance carrier, unless such damage shall be
caused by the willful act or gross neglect of Landlord. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord shall be liable to Tenant with respect to the foregoing in
the event of Landlord's intentional wrongdoing or gross negligence.
ARTICLE VIII
CASUALTY
8.01 Casualty Insurance. Landlord covenants and agrees that it will
at all times during the Term of this Lease keep, or cause to be kept, the
Demised Premises insured by good and responsible insurance companies authorized
to do business in the State of Florida which companies shall be acceptable to
the holder of any mortgage affecting the Demised Premises to which Landlord is a
party, for protection against damage or destruction by fire and other perils
embraced within the term "extended coverage" in an amount not less than eighty
percent (80%) of the insurable value of the improvements above the foundation
walls. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage to fixtures or merchandise of
6
Tenant caused by fire or other insurable hazards; nor shall Landlord be liable
to Tenant for damages arising or attributable to the inability of the Tenant to
carry on its business on the Demised Premises by reason of such casualty. Tenant
does hereby expressly release Landlord of and from all liability for such
damages. Tenant shall not be liable for any damages to the Demised Premises, or
any part thereof, caused by fire or other hazards covered by Landlord's
insurance, regardless of the cause thereof, and Landlord does hereby expressly
release the Tenant of and from all liability for damages.
8.02 Reconstruction. Should the whole or part of the Demised
Premises be partially or totally destroyed by fire or any other casualty covered
by a standard extended coverage endorsement after the commencement of this
Lease, Landlord shall restore the same or cause the same to be restored without
unnecessary delay, provided, however, that if the Demised Premises or the
buildings (taken in aggregate) in the Shopping Center should be damaged to the
extent of more than fifty percent (50%) of the cost of replacement thereof (a
"Major Casualty")during the last three (3) years of the Initial Term or any
Renewal Term hereof, Landlord may elect either (i) to repair or rebuild the
Demised Premises or the building or buildings or (ii) to terminate this Lease,
upon giving written notice of such election in writing to Tenant within sixty
(60) days after the happening of the event causing the damage; provided that if
Tenant has a remaining renewal option, Landlord may not terminate this Lease if
Tenant exercises such option within said sixty (60) day period; provided further
that, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event
that Landlord determines that the cost of repairing or rebuilding the Demised
Premises shall exceed the amount of the insurance award payable with respect to
such casualty, Landlord shall not be obligated to repair or rebuild the Demised
Premises unless Tenant agrees to pay as additional rent "Tenant's share" of such
deficiency. Landlord shall, within sixty (60) days after the happening of the
event causing such damage, notify Tenant of its election, if any, to require
Tenant to pay "Tenant's share" of such deficiency, and Tenant shall, within
thirty (30) days after such notice, elect either to terminate this Lease, or to
execute a modification agreement increasing the Annual Minimum Rent payable
hereunder by an amount equal to "Tenant's share" of such deficiency divided by
the number of years remaining in the Lease term. If Tenant has a remaining
renewal option, and elects to exercise such option, the Annual Minimum Rent
payable hereunder shall be increased by an amount equal to "Tenant's share" of
such deficiency divided by the number of years remaining in the Lease term as
extended by the exercise of such option. For the purposes of this paragraph,
"Tenant's share" of such deficiency shall be that percentage of such deficiency
which is determined by dividing the total cost of repairing and restoring all
buildings in the Shopping Center damaged by such casualty into the cost of
repairing and restoring the Demised Premises.
During any period commencing upon the date of any such damage or
destruction and ending upon the "Date of Reoccupancy of Tenant", the Rent and
any other charges payable under this Lease ) shall xxxxx in the proportion that
the Demised Premises shall be untenantable. The term "Date of Reoccupancy by
Tenant", as used herein, shall be the first to occur of the following two dates:
(a) the date upon which Tenant shall reopen for business in that part of the
Demised Premises rendered untenantable by such damage or destruction, or (b) the
date which shall be thirty (30) days after the date of completion of the
repairs, rebuilding and restoration required of Landlord herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Major Casualty, either
Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written
notice to Tenant or Landlord, as applicable, within fourteen (14) days after a
Major Casualty.
ARTICLE IX
EMINENT DOMAIN
9.01 Eminent Domain
A. In the event that all or substantially all of the
Demised Premises shall be appropriated or taken under the power of eminent
domain by any public or quasi-public authority, this Lease shall terminate and
expire as of the date of such taking, and Landlord and Tenant shall thereupon be
released from any further liability hereunder (except for Tenant's rights and
Landlord's obligations with respect to Tenant's security deposit). In the event
that as much as twenty percent (20%) of the Demised Premises shall be
appropriated or taken under the power of eminent domain by any public or
quasi-public authority, Tenant shall have the right to cancel and terminate this
Lease as of the date of such taking upon giving Landlord written notice of such
election within thirty (30) days after the receipt by Tenant from Landlord of
notice that said premises have been so appropriated or taken. In the event of
such cancellation, Landlord and Tenant shall thereupon be released from any
further liability under this Lease and the Rent for the last month shall be
appropriately prorated.
B. If this Lease shall not be terminated as provided in
this Article but shall continue as to that portion of the Demised Premises which
shall not have been appropriated or taken, then in that event Landlord, at its
cost and expense, shall immediately restore the Shopping Center on the land
remaining to a complete unit of like quality and character as existed prior to
such appropriation or taking, and the Rent shall proportionately xxxxx during
the period of restoration as provided in Paragraph 8.02 hereof, and thereafter
the Rent shall be reduced in the ratio that the ground floor area of the Demised
Premises after such taking bears to the ground floor area of the Demised
Premises before such taking.
C. In the event of any such taking, the entire award or
compensation whether as compensation for diminution in value to the leasehold or
to the fee of the Demised Premises shall be paid to and belong to the Landlord;
provided, however, that any award made to Tenant under applicable law, including
any award for moving expenses or for the value of any trade fixtures and
equipment installed by or belonging to Tenant shall be paid to and belong to
Tenant.

G. Tenant's failure to perform any other covenant or
condition of this Lease within fifteen (15) days after written notice and
demand, unless the failure is of such a character as to require more than

10.02 Rights of Landlord Upon Default By Tenant.
A. If there is an event of default as provided in
sub-paragraphs A to F of Paragraph 10.01 and if the same is not cured by the
Tenant within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice to the Tenant, or

3. To require the specific performance of, or
enjoin the breach of, the non-monetary covenants of the Tenant contained in this

which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus
2. The worth at the time of judgment of the
amount by which any unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination
until the time of judgment exceeds the amount of such rental loss Tenant proves
could have been reasonably avoided; plus
3. The worth at the time of judgment of the
amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of
judgment exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could have been
avoided by re-leasing the Demised Premises to another tenant of first class
quality with a net worth in excess of five million dollars ($5,000,000); plus
4. Any other amount necessary to compensate
Landlord for all of the damages proximately caused by Tenant's failure to

cost of altering the Demised Premises to such new tenant, (ii) the cost to
Landlord of any improvements to the Demised Premises made by the Landlord for
the benefit of the Tenant, (iii) the brokerage commission payable on account of
the reletting of the Demised Premises, (iv) the brokerage commission payable by
Landlord on account of the letting of the Demised Premises to Tenant to the
extent that the same was computed based on rental attributable to a period of
8
the Lease during which Tenant was not and will not be occupying by reason of
such termination and (v) reasonable attorneys' fees; plus
5. At Landlord's election, such other amounts
in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time
by applicable state law.
Damages shall be due and payable from the date of termination.
As used in this Paragraph 10.02C, the phrase "worth at the time of judgment" is
computed by adding interest at the highest rate permitted by law to the past
Rent due or discounting to present worth unpaid future Rent.
For purposes of this Paragraph 10.02C, "Rent" for each Lease
year shall be (i) the Annual Minimum Rent for each such year, calculated after
giving effect to the minimum cost of living increase set forth in Paragraph 3.03
hereof, or if no minimum is therein set forth, by applying the cost of living
increase for the year immediately preceding the termination of the Lease to each
subsequent Lease year; (ii) Additional Rent including, without limitation, the
Additional Rent provided for in Article XVI and Section 17.06 hereof.
For purposes of this Paragraph 10.02C, "the amount of rental
loss which Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided" shall be computed
subject to the following conditions: (i) if the Demised Premises have been
relet, the Rent paid by the new lessee shall be conclusively presumed to be the
reasonable Rent payable for such Demised Premises and (ii) in determining the
amount of rental loss which could have been reasonably avoided due consideration
shall be taken of the fact that the Landlord has the right to lease all other
vacant space (other than vacant space created by a termination of Lease by
reason of its breach subsequent to the termination of this Lease) in the
Shopping Center before re-leasing the Demised Premises.
D. Tenant agrees to pay all costs and expenses of
collection and reasonable attorneys' fees on any part of said Rent that may be
collected by an attorney in connection with any suit or foreclosure; and
further, in the event that Tenant fails to promptly and fully perform and comply
with each and every condition and covenant hereunder and the matter is turned
over to Landlord's attorney, after the expiration of any applicable cure or
grace period, Tenant shall pay Landlord a reasonable attorneys' fee plus costs
where necessary, whether suit is instituted or not.
E. The parties hereto shall and they hereby do 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 the Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant,
Tenant's use or occupancy of the Demised Premises, and/or any claim or injury or
damage. In the event Landlord commences any proceedings for nonpayment of Rent
including, without limitation, Annual Minimum Rent and Additional Rent, Tenant
will not interpose any counterclaim of whatever nature or description in any
such proceedings. This shall not, however, be construed as a waiver of the
Tenant's right to assert such claims in any separate action or actions brought
by the Tenant.
F. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of
redemption granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant
being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Landlord
obtaining possession of the Demised Premises, by reason of violation by Tenant
of any of the covenants or conditions in this Lease, or otherwise.
G. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article X to
the contrary, if Landlord terminates this Lease prior to the expiration of the
Term hereof, all payments due to Landlord under this Article X shall not exceed
an amount equal to the lesser of the Rent payable by Tenant for the then
unexpired Term of this Lease (without regard to any renewal thereof, if
applicable), or 3 times the then Rent, plus Landlord's reasonable attorneys'
fees in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.02D hereof.
ARTICLE XI

the use of, on or about the Demised Premises and adjacent sidewalks and loading
docks and common areas, if caused wholly or in part by any act or omission of
Tenant or its agents, contractor or employees, and all expenses incurred by
Landlord thereof, including attorney's fees and expenses of litigation. Tenant
further agrees to carry, at its expense, public liability insurance coverage on
the Demised Premises, from a company qualified to transact business in the State

whatsoever, Certificates of such coverage from the insuror providing thirty (30)
days notice to Landlord prior to cancellation or termination shall be furnished
to Landlord.

held in trust and made available for repair or restoration of the damaged or
destroyed property.

ARTICLE XII
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
12.01 Assignment and Sub-letting Prohibited. Tenant may assign this
Lease in whole or in part, or sublet any portion of the Demised Premises with
the written approval of Landlord. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord
specifically reserves unto itself the right to benefit from any appreciation in
the market value of the leasehold interest under this Lease, the right to
control the mixture of businesses in the Shopping Center of which the Demised
Premises are a part and the right, at its discretion to assess the business
experience, acumen and probability of success of a potential tenant.
Accordingly, Tenant agrees that Landlord's denial of consent to a proposed
sublease or assignment of this Lease for any one of the following reasons is a
reasonable denial of consent:
(a) the Rent payable under the Lease as in effect at
the time of the proposed assignment is less than the market rent for the Demised
Premises at the time the consent of Landlord is requested and the proposed
subtenant/assignee does not consent to an amendment to the Lease increasing the
rent to such market rate;
(b) the financial strength of the proposed
subtenant/assignee is not equal to that of the existing Tenant;
(c) the business reputation of the proposed
subtenant/assignee is not in accordance with generally acceptable commercial
standards;
(d) the use of the Demised Premises by the proposed
subtenant/assignee, is not identical to the use permitted by the Lease;
(e) the managerial and operational skills of the
proposed subtenant/assignee are not the same as those of the existing Tenant;
(f) the use of the Demised Premises (even if
consistent with the Permitted Use under the Lease) by the proposed
subtenant/assignee will violate or create any potential violation of any laws or
any potential increases in insurance costs or other costs of operating the
Shopping Center;
(g) the use of the Demised Premises (even if
consistent with the Permitted Use under the Lease) proposed by the
subtenant/assignee will violate any other agreements affecting the Demised
Premises, the Landlord or other tenants.
The Tenant signatory to the Lease and any subsequent assignees or
sublessees (except for a PC sublessee or any Physician Sublessee or a Beaches
Sublessee under Paragraph 12.03) shall remain liable to Landlord under the terms
of the Lease, regardless of the number of intervening assignments and subleases,
without their consent to such further assignments and subleases being required,
unless and until Landlord expressly releases them from liability under the Lease
and such liability shall not be released or in any way affected or reduced by
any modification of the Lease between Landlord and the occupant assignee even if
such modifications are made without the prior tenants' consent. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, upon the assignment of this Lease to a third
party, the aggregate liability of Tenant under this Paragraph 12.01 shall be
limited to an amount equal to three years of the Rent in effect on the date of
any such assignment, plus Landlord's reasonable costs (including attorneys'
fees) incurred by it in connection with any breach of this Lease by Tenant or
any such assignee or sublessee.
Landlord's consent to any assignment, subletting, occupation or use by
another person shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment,
subletting, occupation or use by any other person or the waiver of any right of
Landlord to deny such consent pursuant to the provisions hereof. Furthermore,
Tenant understands and agrees that should Landlord approve any assignment or
subletting, Landlord shall have the right to charge a fee of Five Hundred
Dollars ($500) for legally-related expenses in connection with the review,
preparation and processing of any documents associated with said
assignment/subletting.
If this Lease be assigned or the Demised Premises or any part thereof
be underlet or occupied by any party other than Tenant, Landlord may collect
Rent from the assignee, subtenant (other than a PC sublessee or a Physician
Sublessee or a Beaches Sublessee under Paragraph 12.03 hereof) or occupant, and
apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved, but no such
assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this
covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupants as Tenant,
or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of the covenants
on the part of Tenant herein contained. If Tenant sells to a third party in
connection with a sale of its business, 50% or more of its equity or all or
substantially all of its assets, such sale (a "Sale of Control") shall be deemed
an assignment of this Lease subject to the consent provisions of Paragraph 12.01
hereof.
12.02 Assignment by Landlord. Notwithstanding anything contained in
this Lease to the contrary, Tenant may assign this Lease to an affiliate of
Tenant without Landlord's consent, provided that the Permitted Use shall remain
the same and that Tenant shall remain liable under this Lease. Landlord may
assign by way of security or otherwise this Lease or any part thereof or any
right hereunder without Tenant's consent, and any such assignment by Landlord of
its entire interest in the Demised Premises, and its entire rights under the
Lease (other than a security assignment) shall relieve Landlord of any further
obligation hereunder, except for obligations accrued at the time of such
assignment, provided that the assignee executes an instrument by which it
assumes and agrees to perform the obligations of the Landlord under the Lease
and no such assignment alters any of Tenant's rights under this Lease. Landlord
will provide Tenant with a copy of any such instrument signed by Landlord's
assignee.
10
12.03 Permitted Subleases. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Article XII to the contrary, Landlord hereby acknowledges that Tenant may
sublease the Demised Premises to an affiliated (i.e., an entity in which it is a
majority equity owner) corporation or limited liability company (the "LLC") and
the LLC may, in turn, further sublet the Demised Premises to a professional
corporation which will conduct its practice at the Demised Premises (a "PC"). In
addition, Tenant (or the LLC or PC) may sublease the Demised Premises to one or
more physician sublessees (the "Physician Sublessees") who will utilize the
Demised Premises at certain designated times to perform imaging procedures on
their patients and/or to Beaches MRI, LLC (the "Beaches Sublessee") pursuant to
that certain Sublease dated May 9, 2006 between Tenant and the Beaches
Sublessee. Landlord hereby consents to such subleases provided that Tenant
remains liable for all of its obligations under this Lease and any such
subtenant(s) utilizes the Demised Premises solely for the Permitted Uses. The
foregoing consent by Landlord to such subletting shall not in any way whatsoever
be construed as Landlord's consent to any further sublet by Tenant or any such
subtenant.
ARTICLE XIII
MORTGAGE SUBORDINATION
13.01 Agreement to Subordinate. This Lease shall be and hereby is
made subject and subordinate at all times to the lien or security title of any
mortgage granted by Landlord which may now or hereafter affect the real property
of which the Demised Premises forms a part, and to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations, participations, replacements and extensions thereof. No further
instrument of subordination shall be necessary to effect the provisions hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing Tenant agrees to evidence this subordination by an
instrument, in writing, within ten (10) days of Landlord's written request for
such subordination. The term "mortgage" as used in this Lease shall include

ARTICLE XVI
TENANT REIMBURSEMENTS
In order that the Annual Minimum Rent payable throughout the Term of
this Lease shall be net to Landlord, Tenant shall pay its share of the following
expenses (as hereinafter defined) from and after the Date of Occupancy:
16.01 Reimbursement for Ad Valorem Taxes.
A. In addition to the Annual Minimum Rent provided for
in Article Ill hereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant's prorata share of
all ad valorem taxes and assessments on the Shopping Center of which the Demised
Premises are a part, or any other like charges in lieu thereof (the "Taxes"),
comprised of the land and all improvements now or hereafter located thereon.
Landlord shall xxxx Tenant annually after the end of each calendar year during
the Term hereof for Tenant's prorata share of such Taxes, which xxxx shall set
forth the basis for and method of calculation for such prorata share. Tenant
shall pay such xxxx with the next installment of Annual Minimum Rent becoming
due. In the event that the Lease term (i) begins on a day other than January 1,
then Tenant's pro-rata share of Taxes for such year shall be determined by
multiplying such share by a fraction, the denominator of which is 365 and the
numerator of which is the number of days in such partial calendar year during
which this Lease was in effect, or (ii) ends on a date other than December 31,
then along with the final installment of Annual Minimum Rent due hereunder,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the last such Tax xxxx received
by Tenant multiplied by a fraction, the denominator of which is 365 and the
numerator of which is the number of days in such partial calendar year during
which this Lease was in effect.
For these purposes, "Tenant's prorata share" of such Taxes
shall be that percentage which is determined by dividing the square feet of
gross space in all buildings of the Shopping Center situated in the tax parcels
in which the Demised Premises are included (currently 67,631 square feet), into
the square feet of gross space of the Demised Premises.
B. Landlord may require, at Landlord's sole discretion,
that Tenant shall pay in advance 1/12 of the annual amount estimated by Landlord
to be due under this Article XVI, Paragraph 16.01 A. with each monthly payment
of Annual Minimum Rent, with adjustments to be made at the end of each year
based upon the actual Tax bills.
C. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord any sales or use tax
imposed or levied by any governmental agency having jurisdiction thereover,
against Rent, or any other charge or payment, in all such instances to the
extent required of Tenant hereunder.
D. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
foregoing provisions of this Paragraph, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as
Additional Rent, the estimated Taxes in equal monthly installments of Four
Hundred Sixty Four Dollars and 00/100 ($464.00) dollars, which amount shall be
adjusted at the end of each year as set forth above. Landlord will, upon
request, provide Tenant with copies of all applicable Tax bills and, to the
extent that any payments made by Tenant for estimated Taxes exceed Tenant's
obligation for Taxes based upon such year end adjustment, Landlord will credit
Tenant's future obligations for the payment of Taxes by the amount of such
excess or, if applicable, refund such excess amount to Tenant within thirty days
after the expiration of the Term of this Lease.
16.02 Reimbursement for Insurance Costs.
A. In addition to the Rent provided for in Article Ill
hereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, Tenant's prorata share
of the premium costs for all policies of insurance maintained by Landlord on the
building in the Shopping Center of which the Demised Premises are a part (the
"Insurance Costs"), to the extent such costs are also paid by other tenants in
the Shopping Center. Landlord shall xxxx Tenant annually, after the end of each
calendar year during the Term hereof, for Tenant's prorata share of such
Insurance Costs, which xxxx shall set forth the basis of and method of
calculation of such prorata share. Tenant shall pay such xxxx with the next
12
installment of Annual Minimum Rent becoming due. In the event that the Lease
Term (i) begins on a date other than January 1, Tenant shall pay Landlord an
amount equal to the Insurance Costs for such year as documented by the Landlord
multiplied by a fraction, the denominator of which is 365 and the numerator of
which is the number of days in such partial calendar year during which this
Lease was in effect, or (ii) ends on a date other than December 31, then along
with the final installment of Annual Minimum Rent due hereunder, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord an amount equal to the last such Insurance Costs xxxx(s)
received by Tenant multiplied by a fraction, the denominator of which is 365 and
the numerator of which is the number of days in such partial calendar year
during which this Lease was in effect.
For these purposes, "Tenant's prorata share" of such Insurance
Costs shall be that percentage which is determined by dividing the square feet
of gross space in all buildings in the Shopping Center ( currently., 67,631
square feet) into the square feet of gross space of the Demised Premises.
B. Landlord may require, at Landlord's sole discretion,
that Tenant shall pay in advance 1/12 of the annual amount estimated by Landlord
to be due under this Article XVI, Paragraph 16.02 A. with each monthly payment
of Annual Minimum Rent, with adjustments to be made at the end of each year upon
receipt of actual Insurance Costs bills.
C. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord any sales or use tax or
excise tax imposed or levied by any government agency having jurisdiction
thereover against Rent or any other charge or payment to the extent required of
Tenant hereunder.
D. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
foregoing, estimated monthly Insurance Costs of $256 shall be included and paid
on a monthly basis as part of the Operating Expenses (subject to adjustment from
time to time as provided in Paragraph 16.02A above).

Landlord to Operating Expenses for the period represented thereby and shall be

Expense computation for any calendar year may be rendered at the end of the
previous calendar year or at the beginning of such calendar year. Tenant may,

percent (5%), Landlord shall pay all reasonable costs of Tenant associated with
any such audit.

such other tenant, it will, as a condition of any such lease, require such
tenant to sign an instrument, in form and substance satisfactory to Tenant, by
which such other tenant agrees not to exceed such usage limitation (a copy of
which will be delivered to Tenant by Landlord). In the event that Landlord at
any time notifies Tenant that a use being made by it of the Demised Premises is
not expressly set forth as a "Permitted Use" under the terms of this Lease,
Tenant herein agrees to immediately cease and desist from making such use of the
Demised Premises and the failure to do so within ten (10) days of receipt of any

Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be
obtained from your county public health unit. Landlord hereby represents to

covenants to Tenant as a material condition of the Lease to perform all work
necessary to relocate existing tenant from the Demised Premises as soon as
practicable and to promptly and diligently enforce the Relocation Agreement.

Lease for the additional period set forth below only if:
a. Tenant is not in default of any of the terms or
provisions of this Lease; and
b. Tenant gives and Landlord receives written notice no
later than August 1, 2010 of the Tenant's intention to extend the Initial Term
of the Lease; and
c. Tenant has not assigned this Lease and remains liable
for the performance of all of its covenants and obligations under this Lease,
Tenant expressly acknowledging and agreeing that the option to extend the Term
of the Lease granted to Tenant hereunder is personal to Tenant.
A. If all of the above conditions are met, then Landlord will
grant to Tenant the right to extend the Initial Term of the Lease upon the
expiration of the Initial Term for one (1) successive period of ten (10) years
(the "Renewal Term") upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in the
Lease except that:
(1) there shall be no further right to extend the Term; and
(2) Landlord may, at its option, require that Tenant:
(a) execute a new net lease for the Renewal Term on Landlord's
standard net lease form for the Shopping Center currently in use at such time,
which lease form will not alter or modify any of the rights or obligations of
Tenant under this Lease, except that it may include the then current definitions

repairing and replacing the Common Areas and the Shopping Center and for the
allocation of Taxes and other costs and charges relating to the operation of the
Shopping Center; or
(b) enter into an extension agreement, as prepared by
Landlord, at Tenant's expense, to give effect to the Renewal Term (which
agreement will not modify Tenant's rights or obligations under the Lease, except
that Tenant will have no further right to extend the Term of the Lease upon the
expiration of the Renewal Term); and
(3) The Annual Minimum Rent payable during the first Lease year of
the Renewal Term shall be an amount equal to the fair market value rent for

appropriate notice within the time limit set out in Paragraph 2b of this Rider
for extending the Initial Term, then the right to extend the Initial Term of the
Lease granted in this Rider shall be null and void and of no further force or
effect. If Tenant gives and Landlord receives such appropriate notice within the
time limit set out herein for extending the Initial Term, Tenant will forthwith
execute the documentation submitted by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph A (2) of
this Rider.
C. Any option to renew or extend the Initial Term of this Lease,
whether the same be the one created hereunder or pursuant to any subsequent
amendment to this Lease, shall be the sole option granted to Tenant under this
Lease as to the renewal of the Initial Term hereof. If the Tenant has the right
to "successive options" then the exercise of the first option shall
automatically extinguish the first option period but the Tenant shall retain the
successive option periods, until all options are extinguished as herein
provided. In no event shall the extension of the Initial Term of the Lease
pursuant to the exercise of an option to renew the Lease or extend the Term
thereof create for Tenant the right to additional option periods.
3. Two parking spaces shall be designated and will be assigned to
Tenant for its exclusive use.
19
4. Tenant shall have the right to operate its business at the
Demised Premises, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
