If the damage shall be so extensive as to render the Premises wholly untenantable, the rent shall cease until such time as the Premises shall become tenantable, unless such damage was caused directly or indirectly by Tenant or by any of Tenant's Agents, in which event the rent shall not xxxxx or cease. However, if the damage is so extensive that the Premises cannot be made tenantable within eight (8) months from the date of the fire or other casualty, as reasonably determined by Landlord within sixty (60) days of the date of casualty, either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon ten (10) days written notice to the other unless such damage was caused directly or indirectly by Tenant or by any of Tenant's Agents, in which event Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease. In the event that any question shall arise between Landlord and Tenant as to whether or not repairs shall have been made with reasonable dispatch, due allowance shall be made for any delays which may arise in connection with the adjustment of the fire insurance loss and for any delays arising out of what are commonly known as "labor troubles" or "material troubles" or from any other cause beyond Landlord's reasonable control. In any event, Landlord shall not be liable to the Tenant by reason of fire or other damage to the Building or the Premises, except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant under this Lease notwithstanding any provision to the contrary under the Lease for loss of business or income. Tenant specifically acknowledges that it is not entitled and hereby waives and grants to Landlord any and all of its rights, title and/or interest that Tenant may have to any award for damages on account of the value of its leasehold interest (i.e., the value of the remaining term of this Lease), caused by such casualty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained under this Article, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable to repair and/or replace any of Tenant’s (1) fixtures, inventory, personal property; or (2) improvements and/or alterations made by or on behalf of Tenant, and Tenant, in addition to any other insurance requirements hereunder, agrees to carry insurance for all such items and Tenant further agrees that after Landlord completes any required work of Landlord under this Article, that Tenant shall promptly proceed with reasonable diligence and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense to replace and/or rebuild the items referred to in this sentence to substantially the same condition prior to such casualty and to otherwise make the Leased Premises suitable for Tenant’s use.
11
XV - CONDEMNATION
If the Building in which the Premises are located, or any material part of the Industrial Center or Building (including parking) be condemned or taken under the right of eminent domain by any competent authority for public use or is taken by private purchase in lieu of condemnation, this Lease shall at the option of either party terminate upon thirty (30) days notice to other party (except Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease if Tenant is in default under this Lease) and rent shall be paid pro rata to such termination date without further liability or obligation of either party except the Landlord’s obligation to return the security deposit, unless Tenant is in default. Tenant shall have no right or claim to any part of the taking award, Tenant specifically waiving any and all of its rights, title and/or interest thereto, except that Tenant may make a claim against the condemning authority (but not against Landlord) for any Tenant property or equipment taken, moving costs, loss of profits and the unamortized value of any improvements made by Tenant, if such claim does not effect Landlord’s award or claim.
XVI - NO ABATEMENT
Except as provided herein, no diminution or abatement of rent, or other compensation, shall be allowed for damage or injury arising from an interruption in the supply of any service or in Landlord's performing any obligation on Landlord's part to be performed if the same be occasioned or caused by accident, casualty or cause beyond Landlord's reasonable control. Landlord shall not be required to furnish any of such "services" during any period wherein Tenant shall be in default in the payment of rent, after notice and the applicable cure period and otherwise subject to the terms of this Lease.
XVII - ABANDONMENT
In case Tenant shall abandon the Premises during the Term prior to the expiration of the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises after notice without instituting any proceeding either by force or otherwise without being liable for damages therefor, and to relet the same, or any part thereof, for the unexpired portion of the Term or longer and to collect the rent therefor, and to apply the rents so collected to the payment of rent and all other sums payable to Landlord. Tenant shall in such case remain responsible to Landlord for any and all deficiency, loss and damage suffered by Landlord, as provided in Article XIX. For the purpose of this Article, the Premises shall be deemed to have been abandoned when Tenant shall have left the Premises and been away therefrom for at least thirty (30) consecutive days without prior written notice to Landlord of Tenant's intent to vacate and without securing the Premises to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction coupled with the nonpayment of Base Rent and/or additional rent.
12
XVIII - EVENT OF DEFAULT
18.1 The occurrence of any of the following, after notice (but only as specifically required under this Article) from Landlord and any opportunity to cure (but only as specifically provided for under this Article), shall constitute an event of default (an "Event of Default") hereunder:
18.1.1 Failure of Tenant to pay, within three (3) days of Tenant's receipt of written notice from Landlord thereof, any installment of rent, or additional rental hereunder or any other sum herein required to be paid by Tenant provided that Tenant is not in its 10 day grace period as outlined in Paragraph 3.3.herein.

18.1.5 In the event an involuntary petition is filed against Tenant for adjudication as a bankrupt or insolvent, or for its reorganization or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of Tenant's property whether before of after commencement of the Term of this Lease; any reorganization or proceedings under the Federal Bankruptcy Law; and such petition, appointment, reorganization and/or proceeding is not discharged or vacated within thirty (30) days, shall constitute a default on the part of Tenant if no good faith effort has been made by Tenant to cure the default or if said default cannot be cured.
18.1.6 [Intentionally omitted]
18.1.7 Tenant's failure in performing any other term, covenant or condition of this Lease, which failure is not remedied within thirty (30) days after written notice of same from Landlord, shall constitute a default on the part of Tenant.
13
XIX - RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF LANDLORD UPON DEFAULT BY TENANT
19.1 If the Tenant is in default as defined in Article XVIII after notice, if required, from Landlord as hereinabove provided, and after expiration of the applicable cure period, if any, then the Landlord, in addition to all rights and remedies granted under the laws of the State of Florida and/or under this Lease, shall have any or all of the following additional rights:
19.1.1 To re-enter and remove all persons and property from the Demised Premises, and any such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant, without being deemed guilty of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby.
19.1.2 Terminate the Lease and re-let the Premises for account of the Landlord or, within the sole discretion of Landlord, the Demised Premises may be re-let for the account of the Tenant. Landlord may re-let the Premises for the remainder of such unexpired period of this Lease or longer for any rental obtainable, making such usual or special repairs, alterations and doing such painting for any new tenant as it may in its sole discretion deem advisable. Tenant shall remain liable for the balance of the rent remaining due hereunder for the balance of the Lease and otherwise for all expenses (including but not limited to commissions payable to any real estate agent or broker) of Landlord in re-letting, re- entering, repossessing, altering, repairing and re-renting the Premises, less any excess rent collected. Any suit brought by Landlord to enforce the collection of any deficiency shall not prejudice Landlord's right to enforce the collection of any further deficiency for a subsequent period.
19.2 If any part of the rent shall remain due and unpaid thirty (30) days after notice that the same is past due and payable, Landlord shall have the option of declaring the balance of rent for the remainder of the Term of this Lease to be immediately due and payable, and Landlord may then proceed immediately to collect the present value of the same, or terminate this Lease should Tenant fail to pay the balance of such rent due for the remainder of the Term with Tenant remaining liable for the balance of the rent due hereunder. For purposes of this Paragraph, "balance" means the rent for the remainder of the Term plus, for each remaining year of the Term of this Lease and pro rata for any part of such year, the yearly average of the Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses to be paid by the Tenant for the Term of this Lease. For purposes of this Paragraph, "present value" shall be determined by discounting the amount of claimed rent for the remainder of the Term, using a discount rate equal to the Federal Reserve Bank of Miami, Florida, then existing at the time of default.
19.3 Tenant agrees to pay all costs and expenses of collection and reasonable attorney's fees on any part of said rental that may be collected by an attorney, whether suit is instituted or not; 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, Tenant shall pay Landlord a reasonable attorney's fee plus costs, where necessary, whether suit is instituted or not.
19.4 If Landlord fails to perform or observe any of Landlord's obligations hereunder on the part of Landlord to be performed for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Tenant to Landlord specifying such failure, and if Landlord shall have failed to commence to cure within such thirty (30) day period, and thereafter, shall have failed to diligently and continuously proceed therewith to completion in full satisfaction of such breach, then, in addition to any other right or remedy which Tenant may have hereunder, or at law or in equity, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease.
14
XX - ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING OF TENANT'S INTEREST
Subject to the following sentences, Tenant shall not be permitted to assign or sublease the Premises in whole or in part or to sell, transfer or mortgage this Lease. Provided Landlord consents in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease or sublet the Demised Premises or any portion thereof. Nothing in this Lease shall prohibit the assignment of this Lease or the subletting of the Demised Premises to any parent, subsidiary or affiliate company of Tenant. Provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the previous sentences, any such assignment or subletting shall require such assignee or subtenant to sign a counterpart of this Lease as if such assignee or subtenant were an original Tenant hereunder agreeing to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Lease and provided further that Tenant hereunder and each previous permitted assignee and subtenant shall remain liable under this Lease, as Tenant, and shall remain liable for complying with all provisions under this Lease.
If Tenant is a limited liability company, corporation or partnership, an assignment shall be deemed to have occurred (thus requiring Landlord’s consent), if any of the following occur: (i) if at any time during the Lease Term, more than fifty (50%) percent of the person or persons as of the date of this Lease who are members, shareholders or partners, as applicable, and managers thereof cease to be members, shareholders or partners, as applicable, and managers of said entity; or (ii) if there is a change in control of Tenant. For purposes of this provision, the term “control” shall mean the possession (directly or indirectly) of the power to direct or cause of direction of management and policies of Tenant either by ownership, membership, capital interest, stock interest and/or equity interest, or otherwise.
For the purposes of this Lease, the entering into of any management agreement or any agreement in the nature thereof transferring control or any substantial percentage of the profits and losses from business operations of Tenant in the Demised Premises to a person or entity other than Tenant, or otherwise having substantially the same effect, shall also be treated for all purposes as an assignment of this Lease and shall be governed by the provisions of this Section XX.
XXI - COLLECTION OF RENT FROM OTHERS
If the Tenant's interest in this Lease be assigned, or if the Premises or any part thereof be sublet, Landlord may, after default by Tenant, collect rent from the assignee or sub-tenant and apply the net amount collected to the rent due from Tenant. No such collection shall be deemed a waiver of the covenant herein against the sale, transfer, mortgage, assignment and subletting or a release of Tenant from the performance of the covenants herein contained. In the event of such default, Tenant hereby assigns the rent due from the sub-tenant or assignee to Landlord and hereby authorizes such sub-tenant or assignee to pay the rent directly to Landlord.
XXII - INSURANCE
22.1 Landlord shall at all times during the Term of this Lease, at its expense, maintain a policy or policies of insurance with premiums paid in advance issued by an insurance company qualified and licensed to do business in the State of Florida insuring the Demised Premises and Building against losses or damage by fire, explosion or other insurable hazard and contingencies (all within Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion) at such amount or amounts as Landlord shall determine (within Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion), provided nevertheless that Landlord shall not be obligated to insure any equipment, fixtures, goods or supplies owned by Tenant or any improvements to the Demised Premises which Tenant may construct and install on the Demised Premises. Furthermore, Landlord shall maintain and carry in full force and effect during the Term of this Lease comprehensive liability insurance with respect to the Demised Premises in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00). Tenant shall carry such other insurance with respect to Tenant's work in the Demised Premises (including any such subsequent alterations, additions or improvements) covering all of Tenant’s property, improvements and inventory as may be reasonably prescribed by Landlord and at such amounts (but in no event more than the full replacement costs) as may be prescribed by Landlord, including but not limited to 100% builder's risk insurance on a non-reporting form and workmen's compensation for the full amount required by law from and after the date of the commencement of such work.
15
22.2 Tenant agrees to carry a policy or policies of commercial general liability insurance, with premiums paid in advance and at its sole cost and expense, in the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury or death of persons occurring and contractual liability.
22.3 Tenant shall not stock, use or sell or permit or suffer to be stocked, used or sold any article or do anything in or about the Demised Premises which may be prohibited by or violate any insurance policies covering the Demised Premises or the rules and regulations of the Fire Insurance Rating Organization having jurisdiction or any similar body, or which will increase any insurance rates and premiums on the Demised Premises by reason of such use. If as a result of any failure of Tenant, or anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant, to comply with the foregoing sentence of this Sub-Article, the insurance rates applicable to any policies of insurance covering the Demised Premises, shall be increased, Tenant agrees to pay the portion of the premiums for said insurance which shall be attributable to such higher rates. In determining whether any increase in such rates is the result of any of the acts or omissions of Tenant or anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant, a schedule or rule book issued by the applicable rating organization or the rating procedures or rules of the insurance companies that have increased their insurance as aforesaid shall be evidence of the several items and charges which make up the insurance rates and premiums on the Demised Premises.
22.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained under this Lease, Tenant hereby waives and releases all claims, liabilities and causes of action against Landlord and its agents, shareholders, officers, directors, servants or employees for loss or damage to, or destruction of, any of the improvements, fixtures, equipment, supplies, merchandise and other property, whether that of Tenant or of others, upon or about the Demised Premises resulting from fire, explosion or the other perils included in standard extended coverage insurance, whether caused by the negligence of Landlord or of Tenant or otherwise. Tenant agrees immediately after the execution of this Lease to give written notice of the terms of the waiver contained in this Sub-Article
22.4, to its insurance company and to have such insurance policies properly endorsed to provide that the carriers of such policies waive all rights of recovery under subrogation or otherwise against Landlord.
22.5 Subject to the previous provisions of this Article 22, all insurance policies carried by Tenant shall: (i) name Landlord as an additional insured; (ii) be issued by an insurance company licensed to do business in the State of Florida and having at minimum an A rating under Bests Rating System; and (iii) provide that said insurance shall not and may not be canceled prior to scheduled expiration unless the insurance company endeavors to give Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of such early cancellation. Said policy or policies, or certificates thereof shall be delivered to Landlord by Tenant upon taking possession by Tenant of the Premises and thereafter at the reasonable advance written request of Landlord. All premiums with respect to all said policies shall be paid in advance and all such policies shall be approved by Landlord.

XXIII - RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO USE ENTRANCES, ETC., AND TO CHANGE SAME
23.1 Tenant shall permit Landlord to erect, use and maintain pipes and conduits in and through the Demised Premises.

Landlord shall be allowed to take all material into and upon the Demised Premises that may be reasonably required for the repairs or alterations above-mentioned. Landlord agrees that any such repairs or alterations shall be done in such manner as to not unreasonably interfere with the Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Demised Premises.

XXIV - EXAMINATION OF PREMISES AND NO ORAL REPRESENTATION
Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 4.2 above, the taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence that the Premises were in good and satisfactory condition at the time such possession was taken, that Landlord has completed any required Landlord work and shall constitute the acknowledgment that Tenant accepts the Premises as to their status and condition as aforesaid on the date of the commencement of the Term hereof. No representations, except those contained herein, have been made on the part of Landlord with respect to the order, repair or condition of the Premises or the Building.
XXV - SUBORDINATION, NONDISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT
25.1 Provided Tenant is not disturbed in its possession and enjoyment of the Premises so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder, Tenant agrees that upon request by Landlord it will subordinate its rights hereunder to the lien of any mortgage, ground lease or any other method of financing now or hereafter secured upon the land, the Industrial Center, the Building and/or the Premises and/or all the buildings now or hereafter built or to be built in the Industrial Center by Landlord and to any and to all advances made or to be made thereunder and to the interest thereon and to all renewals, replacements, consolidations and extensions thereof.
25.2 This Article is self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall promptly execute such further instruments as may be reasonably requested by the Landlord to evidence such subordination, and the failure of Tenant to comply with the foregoing shall constitute a default hereunder. Tenant, at the option of any mortgagee, agrees to attorn to such mortgagee in the event of a foreclosure sale or deed in lieu thereof subject to the terms hereof. Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to obtain a nondisturbance agreement from Landlord’s Lender with respect to Tenant.
17
25.3 The liability of the Landlord or its assigns under this Lease shall exist only so long as such person is the owner of the subject real estate, and such liability shall not continue or survive after transfer of ownership. Transfer shall not operate to release or affect any liability of Landlord to Tenant for claims, losses or liabilities arising prior to the date of transfer.
25.4 Tenant agrees in the event of any act or omission by Landlord which would give Tenant the right to terminate this Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant shall not exercise any such right: (i) until it has notified in writing the holder of such mortgage which at the time shall be a lien on the Premises of such act or omission; (ii) until, subject to the next Subparagraph 25.4 (iii), a reasonable period, not exceeding thirty (30) days for remedying such act or omission shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice to the holder; and (iii) such holder with reasonable diligence, shall not have so commenced and completed to remedy such act or omission or to cause the same to be remedied within the aforesaid thirty (30) day period unless such remedy cannot be completed within said thirty (30) days, in which event said thirty (30) days shall be extended during the period of time such holder exercises due diligence to effectuate said remedy to completion. If such mortgage is foreclosed, or if the Building is conveyed to the mortgagee or its designee in lieu of foreclosure, then upon request of the mortgagee, Tenant will attorn to the purchaser at any foreclosure sale thereunder or to the grantee of such conveyance, and Tenant will execute and deliver such instruments or agreements as may, in the reasonable judgment of such purchaser or grantee subject to the terms hereof, be necessary or appropriate to evidence such attornment.
XXVI - HOLDING OVER
If the Tenant retains possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the termination of the Term or any extension thereof, without the Landlord’s consent, by lapse of time, or otherwise, the Tenant shall pay the Landlord rent at double the rate of rent payable for the year immediately preceding said holdover for the time the Tenant thus remains in possession. The provisions of this paragraph do not waive the Landlord's rights of reentry subject to the terms hereof or any other right hereunder. Any retention of the Premises after the termination of this Lease or any extension thereof shall be considered as a month to month holdover unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both parties.
XXVII - CERTIFICATE BY TENANT
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or to its mortgagees, auditors, or prospective purchaser, or to the owner of the fee, when requested by Landlord from time to time, a certificate to the effect that this Lease is in full force and effect and that Landlord is not in default therein or stating specifically any exceptions thereto. Failure to give such a certificate within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of written request therefor, shall be a Tenant breach of this Lease.
XXVIII - REMEDIES CUMULATIVE
The various rights, remedies, powers and elections of Landlord reserved, expressed or contained in this Lease, are cumulative and no one of them shall be deemed to be exclusive to the others or of such other rights, remedies, powers, options or elections as are now, or may hereafter be, conferred upon Landlord by law.
18
XXIX - NO WAIVER OF PERFORMANCE
No waiver by either party of any provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless such waiver be in writing signed by either party. The failure of either party to insist upon the strict performance of any of the covenants or conditions of this Lease, or to exercise any option herein conferred, shall not be construed as waiving or relinquishing for the future any such covenants, conditions or option, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect. No act of Landlord or its agent during the Term hereof shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the said Premises unless made in writing and personally subscribed by Landlord or otherwise made in accordance with the terms hereof; neither shall the delivery of the keys to the Premises by Tenant to Landlord or its agents alone be deemed a surrender and acceptance thereof. No payment by Tenant of a lesser amount than the monthly rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the stipulated rent.
XXX - NOTICES
All notices shall be in writing. Any notice by Landlord to Tenant shall be deemed to be duly given if sent by United States mail, registered or certified with return receipt requested and postage prepaid, addressed to Tenant as provided otherwise below except that any 3-day notice shall be deemed to be duly given if sent as aforesaid or posted at the Premises.

Promptly after such use, application or retention of any such sum by Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent hereunder, an amount equal to the sum so used, applied or retained which shall be added to and become a part of the Security Deposit. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Landlord shall not be obligated to pay any interest on the Security Deposit and Landlord shall be permitted to so use the Security Deposit for any purpose Landlord desires, within its sole, absolute and unfettered discretion (including but not limited to investing any part or all of the Security Deposit for Landlord’s financial gain), and to commingle same with other funds of Landlord. Within sixty (60) days following the expiration or earlier termination of the Term hereof, Landlord shall return the Security Deposit or that portion thereof remaining after Landlord shall have applied so much thereof as shall be necessary to cure any outstanding defaults of Tenant. If Landlord shall sell or otherwise transfer the Industrial Center or any part thereof which shall include the Demised Premises, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the Security Deposit to the transferee thereof and such transfer shall constitute full and automatic release of the transferring party by Tenant from all liability for the return of the Security Deposit then and thereafter, and Tenant agrees in such event to look solely to such transferee or purchaser for the return of the Security Deposit.
