purpose of re-letting, the City may (i) make any repairs, changes,
alterations or additions in or to said Demised Premises that may be
necessary or convenient; (ii) pay all costs and expenses therefore
from rents resulting from re-letting; and (iii) Tenant shall pay the City
any deficiency as aforesaid.
19.1.4 Take possession of any personal property owned by Tenant on said
Demised Premises and sell the same at public or private sale, and
apply same to the payment of rent due, holding Tenant liable for the
deficiency, if any.
19.1.5 It is expressly agreed and understood by and between the parties
hereto that any installments of rent accruing under the provisions of
this Agreement which shall not be paid when due shall bear interest at
the maximum legal rate of interest per annum then prevailing in
Florida from the date when the same was payable by the terms
hereof, until the same shall be paid by Tenant. Any failure on the
City's behalf to enforce this Section shall not constitute a waiver of
this provision with respect to future accruals of past due rent. No
interest will be charged for payments made within the grace period,
such grace period to be defined as within five (5) days from the due
date. In addition, there will be a late charge of Fifty Dollars ($50.00)
for any payments submitted after the grace period.
19.1.6 If Tenant shall default in making any payment of monies to any
person or for any purpose as may be required hereunder, the City
may pay such expense but the City shall not be obligated to do so.
Tenant, upon the City`s paying such expense, shall be obligated to
forthwith reimburse the City for the amount thereof. All sums of money
payable by Tenant to the City hereunder shall be deemed as rent for
use of the Demised Premises and collectable by the City from Tenant
as rent, and shall be due from Tenant to the City on the first day of the
month following the payment of the expense by the City.
19.1.7 The rights of the City under this Agreement shall be cumulative but
not restrictive to those given by law and failure on the part of the City
to exercise promptly any rights given hereunder shall not operate to
waive or to forfeit any of the said rights.

19.2 Default by Citv:
The failure of the City to perform any of the covenants, conditions and
agreements of this Agreement which are to be performed by the City and the
continuance of such failure for a period of thirty (30) days after notice thereof
in writing from Tenant to the City (which notice shall specify the respects in
which Tenant contends that the City failed to perform any such covenant,
conditions and agreements) shall constitute a default by the City, unless such
default is one which cannot be cured within thirty (30) days because of
circumstances beyond the City's control, and the City within such thirty (30)
day period shall have commenced and thereafter shall continue diligently to
prosecute all actions necessary to cure such defaults.
However, in the event the City fails to perform within the initial thirty (30) day
period provided above, and such failure to perform prevents Tenant from
operating its business in a customary manner and causes an undue hardship
for Tenant, then such failure to perform (regardless of circumstances beyond
its control) as indicated above, shall constitute a default by the City.
19.3 Tenant's Rights on Default:
If an event of the Ciry's default shall occur, Tenant, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, shall have the right to pursue any and all remedies at law,
including the right to sue for and collect damages, to terminate this
Agreement; provided however, that Tenant expressly acknowledges and
agrees that any recovery by Tenant shall be limited to the amount set forth in
Section 32 of this Agreement.
20. Indemnity Against Costs and Charoes.
20.1 Tenant shall be liable to the City for all costs and charges, expenses,
reasonable attorney's fees, and damages which may be incurred or
sustained by the City, by reason of Tenant's breach of any of the provisions
of this Agreement. Any sums due the City under the provisions of this item
shall constitute a lien against the interest of the Tenant and the Demised
Premises and all of Tenant's property situated thereon to the same extent
and on the same conditions as delinquent rent would constitute a lien on said
premises and property.
20.2 If Tenant shall at any time be in default hereunder, and if the City shall deem
it necessary to engage an attorney to enforce the City's rights and Tenant's
obligations hereunder, Tenant will reimburse the City for the reasonable
expenses incurred thereby, including, but not limited to, court costs and
reasonable attorney's fees, whether suit be brought or not and if suit be
brought, then Tenant shall be liable for expenses incurred at both the trial
and appellate levels.

21. Indemnification Against Claims.
21.1 Tenant shall indemnify and save the City harmless from and against any and
all claims or causes of action (whether groundless or otherwise) by or on

damage occurring upon the Demised Premises or upon any other land or
other facility or appurtenance used in connection with the Demised Premises,
occasioned in whole or in part by any of the following:

Tenant acknowledges that the City may develop a schedule of capital improvements
for the Demised Premises. In the event that the City is required to close the
Demised Premises for the purpose of undertaking such improvements, then the
parties agree that that the Lease Agreement shall be terminated for convenience,
without cause and without penalty to either party. Such termination shall become
effective upon one hundred and twenty (120) days prior written notice to Tenant.
22.1 In the event of termination by City of the Agreement pursuant to this
Subsection, Tenant herein acknowledges and agrees that it shall not have
any claim, demand, or cause of action of whatsoever kind or nature, against
the City, its agents, servants and employees (including, but not limited to,
claims for interference in business, or damages for interruption of services or
relocation costs).

signage standards established by the City and comply with all applicable building
codes, and any other municipal, County, State and Federal taws.
24. Effect of Conveyance.
The term "City" and/or "Landlord" as used in the Agreement means only the owner
for the time being of the land and building containing the Demised Premises, so that
in the event of any sale of said land and building, or in the event of a lease of said
building, the City shall be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all covenants
and obligations of the City hereunder, and it shall be deemed and construed without
further agreement between the parties, or between the parties and the purchaser at
such sale, or the lease of this building, that the purchaser or Tenant has assumed
and agreed to carry out all covenants and obligations of the City hereunder.
25. Damage to the Demised Premises.
25.1 If the Demised Premises shall be damaged by the elements or other casualty
not due to Tenant's negligence, or by fire, but are not thereby rendered
untenantable, as determined by the City Manager, in his sole discretion, in
whole or in part, and such damage is covered by the City's insurance, if any,
(hereinafter referred to as "such occurrence"), the City, shall, as soon as
possible after such occurrence, utilize the insurance proceeds to cause such
damage to be repaired and the Rent (Base Rent and Additional Rent) shall
not be abated. If by reason of such occurrence, the Demised Premises shall
be rendered untenantable, as determined by the City Manager, in his sole
discretion, only in part, the City shall as soon as possible utilize the insurance
proceeds to cause the damage to be repaired, and the Rent meanwhile shall
be abated proportionately as to the portion of the Demised Premises
rendered untenantable; provided however, that the City shall promptly obtain
a good faith estimate of the time required to render the Demised Premises
tenantable, and if such time exceeds sixty (60) days, either party shall have
the option of canceling this Agreement.
25.2 If the Demised Premises shall be rendered wholly untenantable by reason of
such occurrence, the City shall have the option, but not the obligation, in its
sole discretion, to utilize the insurance proceeds to cause such damage to be
repaired and the Rent meanwhile shall be abated. However, the City shall
have the right, to be exercised by notice in writing delivered to Tenant within
sixty (60) days from and after said occurrence, to elect not to reconstruct the
destroyed Demised Premises, and in such event, this Agreement and the
17
tenancy hereby created shall cease as of the date of said occurrence, the
Rent to be adjusted as of such date. If the Demised Premises shall be
rendered wholly untenantable, Tenant shall have the right, to be exercised by
notice in writing, delivered to the City within thirty (30) days from and after
said occurrence, to elect to terminate this Agreement, the Rent to be
adjusted accordingly.
25.3 Notwithstanding any clause contained in this Section 24, if the damage is not
covered by the City's insurance, then the City shall have no obligation to
repair the damage, but the City shall advise Tenant in writing within thirty (30)
days of the occurrence giving rise to the damage and of its decision not to
repair, and the Tenant may, at any time thereafter, elect to terminate this
Agreement, and the Rent shall be adjusted accordingly.

Tenant shall enjoy quiet enjoyment of the Demised Premises and shall not be
evicted or disturbed in possession of the Demised Premises so long as Tenant
complies with the terms of this Agreement.

27.1 It is mutually covenanted and agreed by and between the parties hereto that
the failure of the City to insist upon the strict performance of any of the
conditions, covenants, terms or provisions of this Agreement, or to exercise
any option herein conferred, will not be considered or construed as a waiver
or relinquishment for the future of any such conditions, covenants, terms,
provisions or options but the same shall continue and remain in full force and
effect.
27.2 A waiver of any term expressed herein shall not be implied by any neglect of
the City to declare a forfeiture on account of the violation of such term if such
violation by continued or repeated subsequently and any express waiver
shall not affect any term other than the one specified in such waiver and that
one only for the time and in the manner specifically stated.
27.3 The receipt of any sum paid by Tenant to the City after breach of any
condition, covenant, term or provision herein contained shall not be deemed
a waiver of such breach, but shall be taken, considered and construed as
payment for use and occupation, and not as Rent, unless such breach be
expressly waived in writing by the City.

of contract arising out of the performance or non-performance of any obligations

which may have been made upon the Demised Premises, in good order, condition
and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, subject, however, to the subsequent
provisions of this Section. Any property which pursuant to the provisions of this
Section is removable by Tenant on or at the Demised Premises upon the
termination of this Agreement and is not so removed may, at the option of the City,
be deemed abandoned by Tenant, and either may be retained by the City as its
property or may be removed and disposed of at the sole cost of the Tenant in such
manner as the City may see fit. If the Demised Premises and personal property, if
any, be not surrendered at the end of the Term as provided in this Section, Tenant
shall make good the City all damages which the City shall suffer by reason thereof,
and shall indemnify and hold harmless the City against all claims made by any
succeeding tenant or purchaser, so far as such delay is occasioned by the failure of
Tenant to surrender the Demised Premises as and when herein required.
