of Tenant, its employees, agents, invitees, licensees, or contractors, Landlord
shall have the right to perform same and the cost of such repairs, replacement,
or alterations shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand. In addition, if,

option of Landlord, become the property of Landlord and may be removed from the
Premises and sold or disposed of by Landlord in such manner as it deems
advisable without any accounting to Tenant.

Landlord's interest therein is recorded and not discharged by Tenant as above
required within fifteen (15) days following recording, Landlord shall have the
right to remove such lien by bonding or payment and the cost thereof shall be
paid immediately from Tenant to Landlord. Landlord and Tenant expressly agree
and acknowledge that no interest of Landlord in the Premises or the Building
shall be subject to any lien for improvements made by Tenant in or for the
Premises, and Landlord shall not be liable for any lien for any improvements
made by Tenant, such liability being expressly prohibited by the terms of this
Lease. In accordance with applicable laws of the State of Florida, Landlord has
filed or may file in the Public Records of Miami-Dade County, Florida, a notice
containing a true and correct copy of this paragraph, and Tenant hereby agrees
to inform all contractors and material suppliers performing work in or for or
supplying materials to the Premises of the existence of said notice.
5.7 Utilities. The failure or the interruption or termination of any
utility services, in whole or in part, unless such failure, interruption or
termination is caused by Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct,
shall not render Landlord liable in any respect nor be construed as an eviction
of Tenant, nor work an abatement of rent, nor relieve Tenant from the obligation
to fulfill any covenant or agreement hereof.
ARTICLE VI. INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY.
6.1 Tenant's Insurance. Tenant shall, throughout the Term (and any other
period when Tenant is in possession of the Premises), maintain at its sole cost
the following insurance:
(a) All risks property insurance, naming Landlord and any mortgagee of
Landlord as additional insured parties. Such insurance shall insure (i) property
of every kind owned by Tenant in an amount not less than the full replacement
cost thereof (new), with such cost to be adjusted no less than annually.
(b) Commercial general liability insurance. Such policy shall contain
inclusive limits per occurrence of not less than the $1,000,000 and include
Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord as additional insureds.
(c) Worker's compensation and employer's liability insurance in compliance
with applicable legal requirements.
All policies referred to above shall: (i) be taken out with insurers
licensed to do business in Florida and reasonably acceptable to Landlord; (ii)
be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; (iii) be non-contributing
with, and shall apply only as primary and not as excess to any other insurance
available to Landlord or any mortgagee of Landlord; (iv) contain an undertaking
by the insurers to notify Landlord by certified mail not less than thirty (30)
days prior to any material change, cancellation, or termination, and (v) with
respect to subsection (a), contain replacement cost, demolition cost, and
increased cost of construction endorsements. Certificates of insurance or, if
required by Landlord, copies of such insurance policies certified by an
authorized officer of Tenant's insurer as being complete and current, shall be
delivered to Landlord promptly upon request. If A) Tenant fails to take out or
to keep in force any insurance referred to in this section 6.1, or should any
such insurance not be approved by Landlord, and B) Tenant does not commence and
continue to diligently cure such default within two (2) business days after
written notice by Landlord to Tenant specifying the nature of such default, then
Landlord has the right, without assuming any obligation in connection therewith,
to effect such insurance at the sole cost of Tenant and all outlays by Landlord
shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord without prejudice to any other rights or
remedies of Landlord under this Lease. Tenant shall not keep or use in the
Premises any article which may be prohibited by any fire or casualty insurance
policy in force from time to time covering the Premises or the Building.
-7-
6.2 Loss or Damage. Landlord shall not be liable for any death or injury
arising from or out of any occurrence in, upon, at, or relating to the Building
or damage to property of Tenant or of others located on the Premises or
elsewhere in the Building, nor shall it be responsible for any loss of or damage
to any property of Tenant or others from any cause, unless such death, injury,
loss, or damage results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
Landlord. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord shall not
be liable for any injury or damage to persons or property resulting from fire,
explosion, falling plaster, falling ceiling tile, falling fixtures, steam, gas,
electricity, water, rain, flood, or leaks from any part of the Premises or from
the pipes, sprinklers, appliances, plumbing works, roof, windows, or subsurface
of any floor or ceiling of the Building or from the street or any other place or
by dampness, or by any other cause whatsoever, unless such death, injury, loss,
or damage results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.
Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord and hold it harmless from and against any
and all loss (including loss of rent payable in respect to the Premises),
claims, actions, damages, liability, and expense of any kind whatsoever
(including attorneys' fees and costs at all tribunal levels), unless caused by
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, arising from any
occurrence in, upon, or at the Premises, or the occupancy, use, or improvement
by Tenant or its agents or invitees of the Premises or any part thereof, or
occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of Tenant its agents,
employees, and invitees or by anyone permitted to be on the Premises by Tenant.
6.3 Landlord's Insurance. Landlord shall throughout the Term carry: (i)
"all risks" insurance on the Building and the machinery and equipment contained
therein or servicing the Building and owned by Landlord (excluding any property
with respect to which Tenant and other tenants are obliged to insure pursuant to
section 6.1 or similar sections of their respective leases); (ii) public
liability and property damage insurance with respect to Landlord's operations in
the Building; and (iii) such other forms of insurance as Landlord or its
mortgagee reasonably considers advisable. Such insurance shall be in such
reasonable amounts and with such reasonable deductibles as would be carried by a
prudent owner of a similar building, having regard to size, age, and location.
6.4 Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waives on behalf
of itself and its insurers (none of which shall ever be assigned any such claim
or be entitled thereto due to subrogation or otherwise) any and all rights of
recovery, claim, action, or cause of action, against the other, its agents,
officers, or employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the Premises,
or any improvements thereto or the Building of which the Premises are a part, or
any improvements thereto, or any personal property of such party therein, by
reason of fire, the elements, or any other causes which are, or could or should
be insured against under the terms of the standard fire and extended coverage
insurance policies referred to in this Lease, regardless of whether such
insurance is actually maintained and regardless of the cause or origin of the
damage involved, including negligence of the other party hereto, its agents,
officers, or employees.
ARTICLE VII. DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION.
7.1 Damage to Premises. If the Premises are partially destroyed due to fire
or other casualty, Landlord shall diligently repair the Premises, to the extent
of its obligations under section 5.2. In such event, (i) if less than 20% of the
Premises are partially destroyed due to fire or other casualty, Minimum Rent and
additional rent shall xxxxx proportionately to the portion of the Premises, if
any, rendered untenantable from the date of destruction or damage until
Landlord's repairs have been substantially completed and (ii) if 20% or more of
the Premises are partially destroyed due to fire or other casualty, Minimum Rent
and additional rent shall xxxxx entirely from the date of destruction or damage
until Landlord's repairs have been substantially completed. If the Premises are
totally destroyed due to fire or other casualty, Landlord shall diligently
repair the Premises to the extent only of its obligations pursuant to section
5.2, and Minimum Rent and additional rent shall xxxxx entirely from the date of
destruction or damage to such date which is the earlier of (i) the date
tenantable, or (ii) thirty (30) days after Landlord's repairs have been
substantially completed. Upon being notified by Landlord that Landlord's repairs
have been substantially completed, Tenant shall diligently perform all other
work required to fully restore the Premises for use in Tenant's business, in
every case at Tenant's cost and without any contribution to such cost by
Landlord, whether or not Landlord has at any time made any contribution to the
cost of supply, installation, or construction of leasehold improvements in the
Premises. Tenant agrees that during any period of reconstruction or repair of
the Premises, it will continue the operation of its business within the Premises
to the extent reasonably practicable. If all or any part of the Premises shall
be damaged by fire or other casualty and the fire or other casualty is caused by
the fault or neglect of Tenant or Tenant's agents, guest, or invitees, rent
shall not xxxxx.
-8-
7.2 Termination for Damage. Notwithstanding section 7.1, if damage or
destruction which has occurred to the Premises or the Building is such that in
the reasonable opinion of Landlord such reconstruction or repair cannot be
completed within one hundred twenty (120) days of the happening of the damage or
destruction, either Landlord or Tenant may, at its option, terminate this Lease
on notice to the other party given within thirty (30) days after such damage or
destruction and Tenant shall immediately deliver vacant possession of the
Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease.
ARTICLE VIII. ASSIGNMENT, SUBLEASES, AND TRANSFERS.
8.1 Transfer by Tenant. Tenant shall not enter into, consent to, or permit
any Transfer, as hereinafter defined, without the prior written consent of
Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. For purposes of this Lease, "Transfer" means an assignment of this
Lease in whole or in part; a sublease of all or any part of the Premises; any
transaction whereby the rights of Tenant under this Lease or to the Premises are
transferred to another; any mortgage or encumbrance of this Lease or the
Premises or any part thereof or other arrangement under which either this Lease
or the Premises become security for any indebtedness or other obligations; and
if Tenant is a corporation or a partnership, the transfer of a controlling
interest in the stock of the corporation or partnership interests, as
applicable. If there is a permitted Transfer, Landlord may collect rent or other
payments from the transferee and apply the net amount collected to the rent or
other payments required to be paid pursuant to this Lease but no acceptance by
Landlord of any payments by a transferee shall be deemed a waiver of any
provisions hereof regarding Tenant. Notwithstanding any Transfer, Tenant shall
not be released from any of its obligations under this Lease. In addition,
Landlord shall be entitled to receive all net profits arising out of an
assignment or sublease, such profits to be determined by subtracting all rent
and additional rent due from Tenant with respect to the time period and square
footage applicable to the assignment or sublease, plus the brokerage fees,
attorneys' fees, costs of alterations incurred by Tenant pursuant to such
assignment or sublease, from the total consideration to be paid by the
transferee.
8.2 Assignment by Landlord. Landlord shall have the unrestricted right to
sell, lease, convey, or otherwise dispose of the Building or any part thereof
and this Lease or any interest of Landlord in this Lease. To the extent that the
purchaser or assignee from Landlord assumes the obligations of Landlord under
this Lease, Landlord shall thereupon and without further agreement be released
of all further liability under this Lease. If Landlord sells its interest in the
Premises, it shall deliver the security deposit to the purchaser and Landlord
will thereupon be released from any further liability with respect to the
security deposit or its return to Tenant and the purchaser shall become directly
responsible to Tenant.
ARTICLE IX. DEFAULT.
9.1 Defaults. A default by Tenant shall be deemed to have occurred
hereunder, if and whenever: (i) any Minimum Rent or Tenant's Share of Excess
Expenses or Tenant's Share of Excess Taxes is not paid within five (5) business
days after written notice from Landlord; (ii) any other additional rent is in
arrears and is not paid within ten (10) business days after written notice from
Landlord; (iii) Tenant has breached any of its obligations in this Lease (other
than the payment of rent) and Tenant fails to remedy such breach within thirty
(30) days (or such shorter period as may be provided in this Lease), or if such
breach cannot reasonably be remedied within thirty (30) days (or such shorter
period), then if Tenant fails to immediately commence to remedy and thereafter
proceed diligently to remedy such breach, in each case after notice in writing
from Landlord; (iv) Tenant becomes bankrupt or insolvent; (v) any of Landlord's
policies of insurance with respect to the Building are cancelled or adversely
changed as a result of Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises; or (vi) the
business operated by Tenant in the Premises shall be closed by governmental or
court order for any reason.
9.2 Remedies. In the event of any default hereunder by Tenant, then without
prejudice to any other rights which it has pursuant to this Lease or at law or
in equity, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies, which are
cumulative and not alternative:
(a) Landlord may cancel this Lease by notice to Tenant and retake
possession of the Premises for Landlord's account, or may terminate Tenant's
right to possession (without terminating this Lease), for the account of Tenant.
In either event, Tenant shall then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord.
Tenant's liability under all of the provisions of this Lease shall continue
notwithstanding any expiration and surrender, or any re-entry, repossession, or
disposition hereunder.
-9-
(b) After an eviction order has been issued, Landlord may enter the
Premises as agent of Tenant to take possession of any property of Tenant on the
Premises, to store such property at the expense and risk of Tenant or to sell or
otherwise dispose of such property (other than Tenant's business records at the
Premises) in such manner as Landlord may see fit without notice to Tenant.
Re-entry and removal may be effectuated by summary dispossess proceedings, by
any suitable action or proceeding, or otherwise. Landlord shall not be liable in
any way in connection with its actions pursuant to this section, to the extent
that its actions are in accordance with applicable law.
(c) If Tenant's right to possession is terminated (without terminating this
Lease) under subsection (a) above, Tenant shall remain liable (in addition to
accrued liabilities) to the extent legally permissible for all rent and all of
the charges Tenant would have been required to pay until the date this Lease
would have expired had such cancellation not occurred. Tenant's liability for
rent shall continue notwithstanding re-entry or repossession of the Premises by
Landlord. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall pay to Landlord such sums
as the court which has jurisdiction thereover may adjudge as reasonable
attorneys' fees with respect to any successful lawsuit or action instituted by
Landlord to enforce the provisions of this Lease.
(d) Landlord may relet all or any part of the Premises for all or any part
of the unexpired portion of the Term of this Lease or for any longer period, and
may accept any rent then attainable; grant any concessions of rent, and agree to
paint or make any special repairs, alterations, and decorations for any new
Tenant as it may deem advisable in its sole and absolute discretion. Landlord
shall be under no obligation to relet or to attempt to relet the Premises,
except as expressly set forth below; provided, however, Landlord shall be
obligated to mitigate Landlord's damages only to the extent required under
applicable law.
(e) If Tenant's right to possession is terminated (without terminating this
Lease) under subsection (a) above, and Landlord so elects, the rent hereunder
shall be accelerated and Tenant shall pay Landlord damages in the amount of any
and all sums which would have been due for the remainder of the Term (reduced to
present value using a discount factor equal to the stated prime lending rate on
the date of Tenant's default by Landlord's then existing mortgagee or, if there
is no mortgagee, by NationsBank, Citibank, or First Union, as chosen by
Landlord). Prior to or following payment in full by Tenant of such discounted
sum promptly upon demand, Landlord shall use good faith efforts to relet the
Premises. If Landlord receives consideration as a result of a reletting of the
Premises relating to the same time period for which Tenant has paid accelerated
rent, such consideration actually received by Landlord, less any and all of
Landlord's cost of repairs, alterations, additions, redecorating, and other
expenses in connection with such reletting of the Premises, shall be a credit
against such discounted sum, and such discounted sum shall be reduced if not yet
paid by Tenant as called for herein, or if Tenant has paid such discounted sum,
such credited amount shall be repaid to Tenant by Landlord (provided said credit
shall not exceed the accelerated amount).
(f) Landlord may remedy or attempt to remedy any default of Tenant under
this Lease for the account of Tenant and to enter upon the Premises for such
purposes. No notice of Landlord's intention to perform such covenants need be
given Tenant unless expressly required by this Lease. Landlord shall not be
liable to Tenant for any loss or damage caused by acts of Landlord in remedying
or attempting to remedy such default and Tenant shall pay to Landlord all
expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with remedying or attempting to
remedy such default. Any expenses incurred by Landlord shall accrue interest
from the date of payment by Landlord until repaid by Tenant at the highest rate
permitted by law.
9.3 Costs. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand all costs incurred by
Landlord, including attorneys' fees and costs at all tribunal levels, incurred
by Landlord in enforcing any of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. In
addition, upon any default by Tenant, Tenant shall be also liable to Landlord
for the expenses to which Landlord may be put in re-entering the Premises;
repossessing the Premises; painting, altering, or dividing the Premises;
combining the Premises with an adjacent space for any new tenant; putting the
Premises in proper repair; protecting and preserving the Premises by placing
watchmen and caretakers therein; reletting the Premises (including attorneys'
fees and disbursements, xxxxxxxx'x fees, and brokerage fees, in so doing); and
any other expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Lease, in the event of any litigation between
Landlord and Tenant arising out of this Lease or Tenant's use and occupancy of
the Premises, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and
expenses incurred in such litigation, including attorneys' fees, at all levels,
including appeals.
-10-
9.4 Additional Remedies; Waiver. The rights and remedies of Landlord set
forth herein shall be in addition to any other right and remedy now and
hereinafter provided by law. All rights and remedies shall be cumulative and
non-exclusive of each other. No delay or omission by Landlord in exercising a
right or remedy shall exhaust or impair the same or constitute a waiver of, or
acquiescence to, a default.
9.5 Default by Landlord. In the event of any default by Landlord, Tenant's
exclusive remedy shall be an action for damages or injunction, but prior to any
such action Tenant will give Landlord written notice specifying such default
with particularity, and Landlord shall have a period of thirty (30) days
following the date of such notice in which to cure the default (provided,
however, that if such default reasonably requires more than thirty (30) days to
cure, Landlord shall have a reasonable time to cure such default, provided
Landlord commences to cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently prosecutes such cure to completion). Notwithstanding any provision of
this Lease, Landlord shall not at any time have any personal liability under
this Lease. In the event of any breach or default by Landlord of any term or
provision of this Lease, Tenant agrees to look solely to the equity or interest
then-owned by Landlord in the Building (including the proceeds of insurance,
condemnation, and sale), and in no event shall any deficiency judgment be sought
or obtained against Landlord.
ARTICLE X. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE; SUBORDINATION.
10.1 Estoppel Certificate. Within ten (10) days after written request by
Landlord, Tenant shall deliver in a form supplied by Landlord, an estoppel
certificate to Landlord as to the status of this Lease, including whether this
Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been
modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified and
identifying the modification agreements); the amount of Minimum Rent and
additional rent then being paid and the dates to which same have been paid;
whether or not there is any existing or alleged default by either party with
respect to which a notice of default has been served, or any facts exist which,
with the passing of time or giving of notice, would constitute a default and, if
there is any such default or facts, specifying the nature and extent thereof;
and any other matters pertaining to this Lease as to which Landlord shall
request such certificate. Landlord, and any prospective purchaser, lender, or
ground lessor shall have the right to rely on such certificate.
10.2 Subordination; Attornment. This Lease and all rights of Tenant shall
be subject and subordinate to any and all mortgages, security agreements, or
like instruments resulting from any financing, refinancing, or collateral
financing (including renewals or extensions thereof), and to any and all ground
leases, made or arranged by Landlord of its interests in all or any part of the
Building), from time to time in existence against the Building, whether now
existing or hereafter created. Such subordination shall not require any further
instrument to evidence such subordination. However, on request, Tenant shall
further evidence its agreement to subordinate this Lease and its rights under
this Lease to any and all documents and to all advances made under such
documents. The form of such subordination shall be made as required by Landlord,
its lender, or ground lessor. Tenant shall promptly on request attorn to any
mortgagee, or to the future owner(s) of the Building, or the purchaser at any
foreclosure or sale under proceedings taken under any mortgage, security
agreement, like instrument, or ground lease, and shall recognize such mortgagee,
owner, or purchaser as Landlord under this Lease.
ARTICLE XI. CONTROL OF BUILDING BY LANDLORD.
11.1 Use and Maintenance of Common Areas. Tenant and those doing business
with Tenant for purposes associated with Tenant's business on the Premises,
shall have a non-exclusive license to use the common areas for their intended
purposes during normal business hours in common with others entitled thereto and
subject to any reasonable rules and regulations imposed by Landlord. Landlord
shall keep the common areas in good repair and condition and shall clean the
common areas when necessary. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage to
automobiles of any nature whatsoever to, or any theft of, automobiles or other
vehicles or the contents thereof, while in or about the parking areas. Tenant
acknowledges that its right to use its assigned parking spaces, if any, may be
subject to such rules and regulations as reasonably imposed from time to time.
Tenant acknowledges that all common areas of the Building shall at all times be
under the exclusive control and management of Landlord, and that all parking
areas shall at all times be under the exclusive control and management of
Landlord. For purposes of this Lease, "common areas" shall mean those areas,
facilities, utilities, improvements, equipment, and installations of the
Building which serve or are for the benefit of the tenants of more than one
component of the Building and which are not designated or intended by Landlord
to be leased, from time to time, or which
-11-
are provided or designated from time to time by Landlord for the benefit or use
of all tenants in the Building, their employees, customers, and invitees, in
common with others entitled to the use or benefit of same.
11.2 Alterations by Landlord. Landlord may (i) alter, add to, subtract
from, construct improvements on, re-arrange, and construct additional facilities
in, adjoining, or proximate to the Building; (ii) relocate the facilities and
improvements in or comprising the Building or erected on the land; (iii) do such
things on or in the Building as required to comply with any laws, by-laws,
regulations, orders, or directives affecting the land or any part of the
Building; and (iv) do such other things on or in the Building as Landlord, in
the use of good business judgment determines to be advisable, provided that
notwithstanding anything contained in this section 11.2, access to the Premises
shall be available at all times and so long as Landlord's exercise of its rights
pursuant to this section 11.2 does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use
of the Premises. Landlord shall not be in breach of its covenants for quiet
enjoyment or liable for any loss, costs, or damages, whether direct or indirect,
incurred by Tenant due to any of the foregoing.
11.3 Parking.
(a) During the Lease Term, subject to the rules and regulations promulgated
by Landlord from time to time. Landlord shall provide for the use of Tenant four
(4) assigned and marked parking spaces (the "Spaces") in the parking area. The
Spaces shall be subject to a monthly rental charge payable by Tenant to Landlord
(or at Landlord's option, to Landlord's contractor managing the parking area) in
the amount of Fifty and No/100 Dollars ($50.00) per month for each of the
Spaces, plus sales tax, the total amount of such parking rental to be payable to
Landlord as additional rent at the same time and in the same manner as the
monthly installments of Minimum Rent. The said monthly rental rate for the
Spaces shall be subject to change at prevailing market rates for covered parking
spaces in Coral Gables, Florida at any time upon thirty (30) days' written
notice to Tenant, and in the event of non-payment thereof, Landlord shall have
all the rights and remedies provided hereunder with respect to a default by
Tenant. During any renewal terms, the parking monthly rental rate per Space
shall be increased to prevailing market rates for covered parking spaces in
Coral Gables, Florida, but not less than $50.00 per Space, per month, plus sales
tax.
(b) In the event that for any reason whatsoever Landlord is not permitted
by governmental law, ordinance, or otherwise, to charge monthly rent for the
Spaces as provided in this Paragraph, then the Minimum Rent shall be increased
by an amount equal to the total annual parking rental otherwise payable by
Tenant.
(c) Landlord shall have a right to designate the location of Tenant's
parking and alter such designation upon reasonable notice to Tenant, provided
that the location of the parking shall be either within the Building or on land
adjacent to the Building. Landlord shall also have the right to establish or
modify the methods used to control parking in the parking areas, including,
without limitation, the installation of certain control devices or the hiring of
parking attendants or a managing agent.
(d) Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever for any property damage or
personal injury which might occur as a result of or in connection with the use
of the Spaces by Tenant, its employees, agents, invitees, and licensees, and
Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against
any and all costs, claims, expenses, or causes of action which Landlord may
incur in connection with or arising out of Tenant's use of the Spaces.
ARTICLE XII. CONDEMNATION.
12.1 Total or Partial Taking. If the whole of the Premises, or such portion
thereof as will make the Premises unusable for the purposes leased hereunder,
shall be taken by any public authority under the power of eminent domain or sold
to public authority under threat or in lieu of such taking, the Term shall cease
as of the day possession or title shall be taken by such public authority,
whichever is earlier ("Taking Date"), whereupon the rent shall be paid up to the
Taking Date with a proportionate refund by Landlord of any rent paid for a
period subsequent to the Taking Date. If less than the whole of the Premises, or
less than such portion thereof as will make the Premises unusable for the
purposes leased hereunder in Tenant's reasonable opinion, the Term shall cease
only as to the part so taken as of the Taking Date, and Tenant shall pay rent up
to the Taking Date, with appropriate credit by Landlord (toward the next
installment of rent due from Tenant) of any rent paid for a period subsequent to
the Taking Date. Minimum Rent and other charges payable to Landlord shall be
reduced in proportion to the amount of the Premises taken.
-12-
12.2 Award. In the event of any total or partial taking of the Premises or
the Building, Landlord and Tenant shall each be entitled to receive and retain
such separate rewards and portions of lump sum awards as may be allocated to
their respective interests in any condemnation proceedings.
ARTICLE XIII. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
13.1 Delay. Whenever a period of time is herein prescribed for the taking
of any action by Landlord or Tenant, Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, shall
not be liable or responsible for, and there shall be excluded from the
computation of such period of time, any delays due to strikes, riots, acts of
God, shortages of labor or materials, war, governmental laws, regulations, or
restrictions, or any other cause whatsoever beyond the control of Landlord or
Tenant, as applicable. The foregoing provisions of this section 13.1 are
inapplicable to any payments of money due under this Lease.
13.2 Holding Over. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after
the end of the Term without having executed and delivered a new lease or an
agreement extending the Term, there shall be no tacit renewal of this Lease or
the Term, and Tenant shall be deemed to be occupying the Premises as a
tenant-at-sufferance at a monthly Minimum Rent payable in advance on the first
day of each month equal to 150% of the monthly amount of rent payable during the
last month of the Term, and otherwise upon the same terms as are set forth in
this Lease, so far as they are applicable to a tenancy-at-sufferance.
13.3 Waiver; Partial Invalidity. If either Landlord or Tenant excuses or
condones any default by the other of any obligation under this Lease, this shall
not be a waiver of such obligation in respect of any continuing or subsequent
default and no such waiver shall be implied. All of the provisions of this Lease
are to be construed as covenants even though not expressed as such. If any such
provision is held or rendered illegal or unenforceable it shall be considered
separate and severable from this Lease and the remaining provisions of this
Lease shall remain in force and bind the parties as though the illegal or
unenforceable provision had never been included in this Lease.
13.4 Recording. Neither Tenant nor anyone claiming under Tenant shall
record this Lease or any memorandum hereof in any public records without the
prior written consent of Landlord.
13.5 Notices. Any notice, consent, or other instrument required or
permitted to be given under this Lease shall be in writing and shall be
delivered in person, or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or
overnight express mail courier, postage prepaid, addressed (i) if to Landlord,
at the address set forth on the Lease Summary, with a copy to Xxxxx Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, P.A., 0000 X. Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxx,
Xxxxxxx 00000, Attn: Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx, Esq.; and (ii) if to Tenant, at the
Premises or, prior to Tenant's occupancy of the Premises, at the address set
forth on the Lease Summary. Any such notice or other instruments shall be deemed
to have been given and received on the day upon which personal delivery is made
or, if mailed, then forty-eight (48) hours following the date of mailing. Either
party may give notice to the other of any change of address and after the giving
of such notice, the address therein specified is deemed to be the address of
such party for the giving of notices.
13.6 Successors; Joint and Several Liability. The rights and liabilities
created by this Lease extend to and bind the successors and assigns of Landlord
and the heirs, executors, administrators, and permitted successors and assigns
of Tenant. No rights, however, shall inure to the benefit of any transferee
unless such Transfer complies with the provisions of Article VIII. If there is
at any time more than one Tenant or more than one person constituting Tenant,
their covenants shall be considered to be joint and several and shall apply to
each and every one of them.
13.7 Captions and Section Numbers. The captions, section numbers, article
numbers, and table of contents appearing in this Lease are inserted only as a
matter of convenience and in no way affect the substance of this Lease.
13.8 Extended Meanings. The words "hereof," "hereto," "hereunder," and
similar expressions used in this Lease relate to the whole of this Lease and not
only to the provisions in which such expressions appear. This Lease shall be
read with all changes in number and gender as may be appropriate or required by
the context. Any reference to Tenant includes, when the context allows, the
employees, agents, invitees, and licensees of Tenant and all others over whom
Tenant might
-13-
reasonably be expected to exercise control. This Lease has been fully reviewed
and negotiated by each party and their counsel and shall not be more strictly
construed against either party.
13.9 Entire Agreement; Governing Law; Time. This Lease and the Exhibits and
Riders, if any, attached hereto are incorporated herein and set forth the entire
agreement between Landlord and Tenant concerning the Premises and there are no
other agreements or understandings between them. This Lease and its Exhibits and
Riders may not be modified except by agreement in writing executed by Landlord
and Tenant. This Lease shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the
laws of the State of Florida. Time is of the essence of this Lease.
13.10 No Partnership. Nothing in this Lease creates any relationship
between the parties other than that of lessor and lessee and nothing in this
Lease constitutes Landlord a partner of Tenant or a joint venturer or member of

Lease.
14.6 Tenant's option to renew the Lease shall not be transferable by
Tenant, except in conjunction with a permissible Transfer in accordance with the
