Indemnity
Subject to Section 20.01, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold LESSOR,
Professional Resource Options, Inc., and each of their respective parents,
shareholders, partners, lenders, contractors, affiliates and employees
(collectively, “LESSOR
INDEMNITEES”)
from and against all claims, demands, losses, obligations, liabilities,
causes of action, suits, judgements, damages, costs and expenses
(including attorneys’ fees and court costs (collectively “Claims,
Losses and Costs”))
arising from or asserted by third parties in connection with (i) any act,
event or occurrence in or about the Premises, (ii) Tenant’s breach of any
of its covenants under this Lease including those contained in all the
Exhibits attached hereto, (iii) the use or occupancy of the Premises by
Tenant or any person using or occupying the Premises under or through
Tenant, or (iv) any act, omission, negligence o misconduct of Tenant, or
of any person using or occupying the Premises under or through Tenant or
of any contractor, employee, agent or visitor of Tenant in or about the
Premises or the Project, even though caused or alleged to be caused by the
negligence or fault of LESSOR or its LESSOR INDEMNITEE. This Section 20.02
is intended to provide LESSOR and LESSOR’s INDEMNITEES with
indemnification against the consequences of their own negligence when
LESSOR or its INDEMNITEES are jointly, comparatively, contributively, or
concurrently negligent with Tenant; provided, however, Tenant shall not be
obligated to so indemnify LESSOR or any of LESSOR’s INDEMNITEES from
matters arising from or caused by the sole willful misconduct or gross
negligence of LESSOR or any of LESSOR’s INDEMNITEES each acting within the
scope of its authority on behalf of LESSOR. This section 20 shall survive
termination or expiration of this Lease. If any proceeding is filed or
claim asserted for which indemnity is provided hereunder, Tenant, agrees,
upon request therefor, to defend the LESSOR and LESSOR INDEMNITEES at
Tenant’s sole cost utilizing counsel satisfactory to LESSOR, in its sole
and absolute discretion. |

Estoppel
Certificate:
TENANT shall, within three (3) days after each request by LESSOR, execute,
acknowledge and deliver to LESSOR a written statement (a) certifying that
this Lease Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if
there have been modifications, stating the modifications), (b) specifying
the dates to which the Rent and Other Charges payable by TENANT have been
paid, (c) stating whether or not, to the best knowledge of TENANT, any
event has occurred which would constitute a default by LESSOR and, if so,
specifying each such event. Any such statement may be relied upon by any
prospective transferee or assignee of LESSOR. TENANT's failure to deliver
such statement to LESSOR within ten (10) days after request therefore
shall constitute an event of default. |
22. |
22.01 |
Substitute
Office(s); Reconfiguration of Demised Premises:
LESSOR shall have the right at any time during the term hereof, upon
giving TENANT not less than seven (7) days prior written notice, to
provide TENANT with similar space elsewhere in the Demised Premises and to
place TENANT in such space, with LESSOR to pay all reasonable costs and
expenses thereby incurred. Should TENANT refuse to permit such a move,
LESSOR shall have the right to cancel and terminate this Lease Agreement
effective 30 days (30) days from the date of original notification by
LESSOR. If LESSOR moves TENANT to such new space, this Lease Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect and be deemed applicable to such new
space. |
23. |
23.01 |
LESSOR
shall have the absolute right to make changes in the decoration and floor
plan of the Demised Premises, and to the size and location of the Common
Areas. |
24. |
24.01 |
Right
of Entry:
TENANT expressly recognizes the right of LESSOR and the building
management to retain a key to the Offices(s), which may be used to permit
entry by said parties or other persons for (i) those instances in which
entry is permitted under the Lease Agreement, (ii) in order for LESSOR to
fulfill its obligations under this Lease Agreement, (iii) for emergency
purposes, (iv) in the event of reentry under this Lease Agreement, and (v)
the purpose of exhibiting the Demised Premises at reasonable times within
(60) days before the expiration of this Lease
Agreement. |
25. |
25.01 |

TENANT shall maintain in full force and effect bodily injury and public
liability insurance in an amount not less than One Hundred Thousand
($100,000.00) for each injury to and or death of any person or persons;
not less than Three Hundred Thousand ($300,000.00) for each incident;
property damage insurance naming our equipment including but not limited
to furniture and phone equipment. In addition, TENANT agrees that it will
obtain, and keep in force during the term of this Lease Agreement, at its
expense, a comprehensive general liability insurance policy, in a face
amount of at least $500,000.00 per occurrence, which policy shall name
LESSOR as an additional insured. |
26. |
26.01 |
Fire
or Other Casualty:
In the event that fire or other casualty makes the Demised Premises
untenantable, or makes so much of the Common Areas untenantable as to
interfere with the conduct of TENANT's business, then LESSOR shall have
ninety (90) days to make said space tenantable. If this can not be done
within said time period, then either party may cancel this Lease
Agreement, upon fifteen (15) days written notification to the other.
During any period of untenantability for the reasons hereunder, Rent shall
be abated, and in the event of cancellation, Rent shall be paid to the
date of the fire or casualty. |

Miscellaneous
Provisions:
The specified remedies of LESSOR are cumulative and are not intended to be
exclusive of any other remedies to which LESSOR may be lawfully
entitled. |
28.02 |
The
failure of LESSOR to insist in any one or more cases upon the strict
performance or observance of any obligation of TENANT or to exercise any
right or option contained herein shall not be construed as a waiver of any
such obligation of TENANT or any right or option of LESSOR. LESSOR's
receipt and acceptance of Rent or Other Charges payable by TENANT, or
LESSOR's acceptance of security deposit of any other obligation by TENANT,
will be deemed a waiver of such breach, nor shall acceptance of Rent or
Other Charges payable by TENANT in a lesser amount than is then due
(regardless of any endorsement on any check or any statement in any letter
accompanying any payment) operate either as an accord and satisfaction or
as anything other than a payment on account against the earliest Rent or
Other Charges then unpaid by TENANT. No waiver by LESSOR of any provision
of this Lease Agreement shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed
in writing and signed by LESSOR. |
28.03 |
LESSOR
shall have all of the rights and remedies for TENANT's failure to pay when
due any Other Charges, as are provided in this Lease Agreement or by law
or in equity for TENANT's failure to pay Rent when
due. |
28.04 |
The
obligations of LESSOR under this Lease Agreement are intended to be and
shall be construed as dependent covenants, and LESSOR shall not be
required to perform any of its obligations if any event of default shall
be continuing. |
28.05 |
This
Lease Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in
accordance with, the laws of the State of
Florida. |
28.06 |
All
items and words used in this Lease Agreement, regardless of the number or
gender in which they are used, shall be deemed to include any other number
and any other gender as the context may require. The word "person" as used
in this Lease Agreement shall mean a natural person or persons, a
partnership, a corporation, and any other form of business or legal
association or entity. |
28.07 |
This
Lease Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and
cannot be changed unless such change is in writing and executed by the
party against whom the enforcement of the change is
sought. |
28.08 |
The
terms and conditions contained in this Lease Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, and upon their
respective successors in interest and legal representatives.
|
28.09 |
Tenant
shall not, without the prior written consent of LESSOR, assign, sublet,
transfer, mortgage, hypothecate, or encumber this Lease Agreement or any
estate or interest herein, whether directly, indirectly or by operation of
law. LESSOR shall have the unrestricted right to assign or transfer its
interest in this Lease Agreement, in which event LESSOR shall be released
from all duties, obligations and liabilities arising hereunder after the
assignment or transfer becomes effective, including but not limited to the
transfer of any security deposit hereunder.
|
28.10 |
The
captions of this Lease Agreement are for convenience and reference only,
and in no way define, limit or describe the scope or intent of this Lease
Agreement or the intent of any provision
hereof. |
28.11 |
If
any provision of this Lease Agreement shall be to any extent invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease Agreement shall not be affected
thereby, and each provision shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest
extent permitted by law. |
28.12 |
To
the extent permitted by applicable law, LESSOR and TENANT hereby waive a
jury trial in any action, or counterclaim brought by either against the
other on any matter whatsoever arising out of or connected with this Lease
Agreement. |
28.13 |
The
parties to this Agreement recognize that this Agreement is a legal
document that may effect them adversely. The parties acknowledge that
prior to executing this Agreement they were given the opportunity to seek
independent legal counsel regarding this Agreement. By executing this
Agreement, the parties acknowledge that they have reviewed this Agreement
with independent counsel or have waived their opportunity to do
so. |
28.14 |
This
Agreement has been fully negotiated and neither this Agreement nor any
provision hereof shall be construed against the party who drafted this
Agreement or on whose behalf this Agreement was
drafted. |
