Easement Agreement (the "Garage Easement Agreement"), dated as of the date
hereof, between Owner and Grantee, pursuant to which, among other things, the
Owner has granted to Grantee a non-exclusive easement over the Land (as defined in

such terms are defined in the Garage Easement Agreement) in order to provide to
Grantee such parking spaces and access, ingress and egress for pedestrian and
vehicular passage and traffic upon and subject to the terms and conditions of the
Garage Easement Agreement.
In consideration of the foregoing premises and for other good and valuable
consideration the receipt and legal sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged,
Guarantor hereby agrees for the benefit of Grantee as follows:
1. Capitalized terms defined and used herein are used herein with the meanings
assigned herein to such terms. Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized
terms which are used herein without definition and which are defined in the Garage
Easement Agreement, are used herein with the meaning assigned to such capitalized
terms in the Garage Easement Agreement.
2. Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to
Grantee the following:
(a) For so long as the Owner, the Guarantor or any instrumentality of the
Guarantor or the Owner, owns or holds any interest (other than a lienor's interest or
W6-MI962620.064
other interests with respect to affidavits of non-compliance, notices of violation, special
assessments, fees, charges, resort taxes, city code or special master fines, grant
agreements, or similar matters and interest accrued on any of the foregoing) in the
land or the Facility and, in the event of a Total Taking, for so long as the Owner, the
Guarantor or any instrumentality of the Guarantor or the Owner owns or holds any
interest (other than a lienor's interest or other interests with respect to affidavits of non-
compliance, notices of violation, special assessments, fees, charges, resort taxes, city
code or special master fines, grant agreements, or similar matters and interest accrued
on any of the foregoing) in the land or garage facility subject to the New Easement
Agreement (hereinafter defined) (the "New Garage"), the (i) due and punctual payment
and satisfaction of all amounts required to be paid by the Owner under and in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Garage Easement Agreement or, in
the event of a Total Taking, any new easement agreement which is contemplated by
and entered into pursuant to the provisions of Section 13(a) of the Garage Easement
Agreement (the "New Easement Agreement") (collectively, the "Payment Obligation")
and (ii) due and punctual performance of all the other terms, covenants, conditions and
obligations on the part of the Owner to be discharged, performed or satisfied under and
in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Garage Easement Agreement or, in
the event of a Total Taking, the New Easement Agreement (collectively, the
"Performance Obligation"). The Payment Obligation and Performance Obligation
include, without limitation, the Parking Obligation (hereinafter defined). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Guarantee, the obligation of Guarantor to duly
and punctually pay, perform, satisfy and discharge the Payment Obligation and the
Performance Obligation shall continue in the event of (a) any sale, conveyance,
assignment or other transfer by Owner of any of its interest in the land and the Facility
to a Successor Owner, which sale, conveyance, assignment or other transfer is not
permitted pursuant to or consummated in accordance with the terms of the Garage
Easement Agreement or (b) any sale, conveyance, assignment or other transfer by
Owner, Guarantor or any instrumentality of Owner or Guarantor, of any of its interest in
the New Garage to any Person that is not the Owner, Guarantor or any instrumentality
of Owner or Guarantor (a "New Garage Successor Owner"), which sale, conveyance,
assignment or other transfer is not permitted pursuant to or consummated in
accordance with the terms of the New Garage Easement Agreement.
(b) From and after the date that the land and the Facility are owned or held by a
Successor Owner (including, without limitation, by reason of a Total Taking), the due
and punctual payment, performance and satisfaction of all (i) the amounts to be paid by
the Owner in accordance with the terms and provisions of subsection 7(h) of the
Garage Easement Agreement and (ii) the other terms, covenants, conditions and
obligations on the part of the Owner to be discharged, performed or satisfied under and
in accordance with the terms and provisions of subsection 7(h) of the Garage
Easement Agreement (the "Parking Obligation"), without regard to the reason that any
Parking Obligation may arise. It is specifically understood and agreed that the Parking
Obligation, and subject to the penultimate sentence of subsection 2(a), above, only the
Parking Obligation, shall be and remain in full force and effect whether or not the
-2-
W6-MI962620.064
Owner, the Guarantor or any instrumentality of the Guarantor or the Owner, owns or
holds any interest in the land or the Facility or in the land and garage facility subject to
the New Easement Agreement.
The Payment Obligation, the Performance Obligation and the Parking Obligation
being guaranteed by Guarantor pursuant to this Section 2, are sometimes hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Guaranteed Obligations".
3. If any of the Guaranteed Obligations are not duly and punctually performed,
paid, satisfied or discharged by Owner on or before the time such Guaranteed
Obligations are to be performed, paid, satisfied or discharged by Owner in accordance
with the provisions of the Garage Easement Agreement and, in the event of a Total
Taking, the New Garage Easement Agreement (the Garage Easement Agreement and
the New Easement Agreement sometimes together hereinafter referred to as the
"Easement Agreement"), then, upon demand of Grantee, Guarantor shall, prior to the
expiration of any applicable cure period, perform, pay, satisfy or discharge such
Guaranteed Obligations in the manner required by and in accordance with the
provisions of the Easement Agreement and this Guarantee. Grantee agrees to accept
performance by the Guarantor of all or any of the terms, covenants, conditions or
agreements on the Owner's part to be performed under the Easement Agreement with
the same force and effect as though performed by the Owner thereunder.
4. Guarantor shall not be deemed to have failed to pay, perform, satisfy or
discharge its obligations hereunder until Guarantor shall have failed to pay, perform,
satisfy or discharge the Guaranteed Obligations within the cure period, if any, provided
to Owner under the Easement Agreement and all cure periods, if any, provided to
Guarantor shall run concurrently with the cure periods, if any, provided to Owner under
the Easement Agreement. It is specifically acknowledged and agreed that in the event
of a breach of the covenant to provide Substitute Spaces pursuant to the Garage
Easement Agreement, Guarantor shall immediately provide the substitute parking and
Substitute Spaces in accordance with the requirements of Section 7(h) of the Garage
Easement Agreement notwithstanding any efforts by Owner to cure such breach by
attempting to make Substitute Spaces available.
5. Guarantor expressly agrees that Grantee may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, without notice to or further assent of Guarantor and without in any way
releasing, affecting or impairing the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder:
(a) waive compliance with, or any default under, or grant any other indulgences with
respect to the Easement Agreement; (b) modify, amend or change any provision of the
Easement Agreement, or effect any release, compromise or settlement in connection
therewith; (c) convey, assign, or otherwise transfer its interest in this Guarantee to
Grantee's permitted successors and assigns pursuant to the lease or to a Grantee
land Owner (hereinafter defined); or (d) assign, pledge, Mortgage (as defined in the
lease) or otherwise encumber its interest in this Guarantee in connection with an
assignment, pledge, Mortgage, or other encumbrance by Grantee or its permitted
- 3 -
W6-MI962620.064
successors and assigns all in accordance with and pursuant to the lease or by New
Tenant (hereinafter defined) and New Tenant's permitted successors and assigns in
accordance with and pursuant to the New Tenant's Documents (hereinafter defined), or
by a Grantee land Owner as permitted pursuant to the provisions of Section 13 hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) until the lease is terminated, Grantee or New Tenant
is granted no greater rights by virtue of the right to assign, pledge or mortgage its
interest in this Guarantee than Grantee has been granted under the lease, or New
Tenant has been granted under the New Tenant's Documents, to assign, pledge or
mortgage Tenant's Interest in the Premises (as defined in the lease) and (ii) no
amendment or modification to the Easement Agreement that increases the liability of
Owner thereunder shall be made without the express consent of Guarantor. Any
amendment or modification to the Garage Easement Agreement between Grantee or its
permitted successors and assigns and a Successor Owner or New Garage Successor
Owner, as applicable, without the consent of Guarantor, which (i) reduces the amount
of Parking Spaces to be provided to Grantee or its permitted successors and assigns
pursuant to the Garage Easement Agreement by such Successor Owner or New
Garage Successor Owner, and its affiliates, shall reduce, by the same number, the
number of Parking Spaces to which this Guarantee relates or (ii) lessens the obligations
of the Successor Owner or New Garage Successor Owner, and its affiliates, under
subsection 7(h) of the Garage Easement Agreement, shall similarly reduce the
obligations to which this Guarantee relates.
6. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in the last sentence of Section 5 of this
Guarantee, the obligations of Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be unconditional,
absolute and irrevocable, irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Easement Agreement or any security which may have been given
therefor or in connection therewith or any other circumstances which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. This Guarantee and
the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected, impaired, modified or
released by reason of (a) the making by Owner, any Affiliate of Owner or Guarantor of
any assignment for the benefit of creditors or the bankruptcy or insolvency of Owner,
any Affiliate of Owner or Guarantor, (b) any action taken by Owner, any Affiliate of
Owner or Guarantor in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, including, without
limitation, disaffirmance of the Easement Agreement, (c) any default by Owner under
the Easement Agreement, (d) the liquidation or dissolution of Owner, any Affiliate of
Owner or Guarantor, (e) any change in or termination of Guarantor's ownership interest
in any Person, (f) the enforcement by Grantee of any of its rights under the Easement
Agreement, or (g) the sale, conveyance, assignment or transfer by Owner of all or any
portion of its interest in the land and/or the Facility except to the extent provided in
Section 2(b) hereof; it being agreed that in the event of any of the foregoing, the liability
of Guarantor hereunder shall continue hereunder as if such event had not occurred.
7. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in the last sentence of Section 5 of this
Guarantee, the liability of Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be primary, direct and
immediate, and not conditional or contingent upon pursuit by Grantee of any remedies it
-4-
W6-MI962620.064
may have against Owner or any other Person with respect to the Easement Agreement,
or any other agreement, whether pursuant to the terms thereof or by law or pursuant to
any other security agreement or guaranty. Guarantor and Grantee each acknowledge
and agree that this Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and performance and not of
collection in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations. Anyone or more successive or
concurrent actions may be brought hereon against Guarantor with respect to the
Guaranteed Obligations, either in the same action or proceeding, if any, brought against
Owner or any other Person, or in separate actions as often as Grantee, in its sole
discretion, may deem advisable. Guarantor may be joined in any action against Owner
in connection with the Easement Agreement solely with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations. With respect the Guaranteed Obligations, recovery may be had against
Guarantor in such action or in any independent action against Guarantor, without
Grantee first pursuing or exhausting any remedy or claim against Owner or any other
Person, as the case may be, or their respective successors or assigns. Until
termination of this Guarantee in accordance with the provisions of Section 20 hereof, (i)
the liability of Guarantor under this Guarantee for the payment, performance,
satisfaction and discharge of all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall continue after (a)
any sale, conveyance, assignment or other transfer by Owner of its interest in the land
and/or the Facility to the Guarantor or any instrumentality of the Guarantor or the
Owner (b) any sale, conveyance, assignment or other transfer by Owner, Guarantor or
any instrumentality of Owner or Guarantor of its interest in the New Garage to the
Owner, Guarantor or any instrumentality of the Owner or Guarantor, (c) any sale,
conveyance, assignment or other transfer by Owner of its interest in the land and/or
the Facility to a Successor Owner, which sale, conveyance, assignment or other
transfer is not permitted pursuant to or is not consummated in accordance with the
terms of the Garage Easement Agreement and (d) any sale, conveyance or other
transfer by Owner, Guarantor or any instrumentality of Owner or Guarantor of its
interest in the New Garage to a New Successor Owner, which sale, conveyance,
assignment or other transfer is not permitted pursuant to or is not consummated in
accordance with the New Garage Easement Agreement and (ii) the liability of
Guarantor under this Guarantee for the payment, performance, satisfaction and
discharge of the Parking Obligation shall continue after any sale, conveyance,
assignment or other transfer by Owner (including, without limitation, by reason of a
Total Taking or Partial Taking) to any Person of its interest in the land and/or the
Facility or in the land and garage facility subject to the New Easement Agreement.
8. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Guarantee, Guarantor hereby
expressly waives: (a) presentment and demand for payment and protest of non-
payment; (b) notice of acceptance of this Guarantee and of presentment, demand and
protest; (c) notice of all indulgences under the Easement Agreement; (d) demand for
observance or performance of, or enforcement of, any terms and provisions of this
Guarantee or the Easement Agreement; and (e) all other notices and demands
otherwise required by law which Guarantor may lawfully waive. Guarantor also waives,
but only if and to the extent that Guarantor may lawfully so do, trial by jury in any action
brought on or with respect to this Guarantee.
- 5 -
W6-MI962620.064
9. Guarantor shall not enforce any right of subrogation it may now or hereafter have
against Owner by reason of any payments or acts of performance by Guarantor in
compliance with the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, and Guarantor shall not
enforce any remedy which Guarantor now or hereafter shall have against Owner by
reason of anyone or more payments or acts of performance in compliance with the
obligations of Guarantor hereunder unless and until all of the obligations of Guarantor
hereunder have been fully paid, discharged, performed and satisfied, whereupon
Guarantor shall have such subrogation rights as may be allowed under applicable law.
10. No setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim, reduction or diminution of an obligation or
any defense of any kind or nature (other than payment and/or performance of the
Guaranteed Obligations) shall be available to Guarantor in any action or proceeding
brought by Grantee to enforce the Guaranteed Obligations; provided, however, that the
foregoing shall not be deemed a waiver of the right of Guarantor to assert any
compulsory counterclaim arising from a claim brought by Grantee hereunder, nor shall
the foregoing be deemed a waiver of or prejudice in any manner whatsoever,
Guarantor's right to assert any claim which constitutes a defense, setoff, counterclaim
or crossclaim of any nature whatsoever against Grantee in any separate action or
proceeding. Guarantor agrees that if at any time all or any part of any amounts at any
time received by Grantee from Owner, Guarantor, any Affiliate of Owner or Guarantor,
or any other Person, as the case may be, for or with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations is or must be rescinded or returned by Grantee by reason of any judgment
or decree of any court having jurisdiction (including, without limitation, by reason of the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Owner, Guarantor, any Affiliate of Owner or
Guarantor, or any other Person), then Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall, to the
extent of the amount rescinded or restored, be deemed to have continued in existence
notwithstanding such previous receipt by Grantee and the obligation guaranteed
hereunder which was to have been discharged by such rescinded or restored amount
shall continue to be effective or reinstated, as the case may be, to the extent of such
amount, whether or not this Guarantee has terminated, and the obligations of the
Guarantor in this sentence shall survive the termination hereof.
11. The rights and remedies afforded to Grantee in this Guarantee are cumulative
and are not exclusive of any other right or remedy against Guarantor or any other
Person provided by law, in equity or under any other agreement or instrument and all
such rights and remedies may be exercised singly or concurrently. No delay or
omission by Grantee in exercising any such right or remedy shall operate as a waiver
thereof. No waiver of any right or remedy hereunder shall be deemed made by
Grantee unless in writing and shall apply only to the particular instance specified therein
and shall not impair the further exercise of such right or remedy or of any other right or
remedy of Grantee, and no single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder
shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right or remedy. If
the Guarantor does not perform, pay, satisfy or discharge the Guaranteed Obligations
in accordance with the provisions of the Easement Agreement and this Guarantee,
-6-
W6-MI962620.064
Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that all remedies available to Grantee under the
Easement Agreement in the event of a default by Owner under the Easement
Agreement (after expiration of any applicable cure period) shall be available to Grantee
hereunder and enforceable against Guarantor hereunder.
12. If any provision of this Guarantee or any portion thereof is declared or found by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or null and void, such provision or
portion thereof shall be deemed stricken and severed from this Guarantee, and the
remaining provisions and portions thereof shall continue in full force and effect.
13. This Guarantee shall inure solely to the benefit of (i) Grantee, and its permitted
successors and assigns pursuant to the lease, (ii) any New Tenant (as defined in the
lease) that enters into New Tenant's Documents (as defined in the lease) in
accordance with the provisions of Section 11.5 of the lease, and any successors and
assigns of such New Tenant permitted pursuant to the New Tenant's Documents, and
(iii) if Grantee or its permitted successors or assigns exercises the Purchase Option (as
defined in the lease) or the option to purchase the Owner's Interest in the Premises (as
defined in the lease) pursuant to the lease or the New Tenant's Documents or
otherwise acquires title to the Owner's Interest in the Premises, Grantee and its
successor or assigns as owner of Owner's Interest in the Premises (the "Grantee land
Owner"); and, shall be binding solely upon Guarantor, its successors and assigns. This
Guarantee may be assigned, pledged, mortgaged to a Mortgagee or otherwise
encumbered by Grantee or its permitted successors and assigns pursuant to the lease
or by New Tenant and New Tenant's permitted successors and assigns pursuant to the
New Tenant's Documents, in connection with an assignment, pledge, Mortgage, or
other encumbrance by Grantee or its permitted successors and assigns pursuant to the
lease of Tenant's Interest in the Premises or by New Tenant and New Tenant's
permitted successors and assigns pursuant to the New Tenant's Documents of New
Tenant's leasehold interest in the Grantee land, and when so assigned, pledged,
mortgaged or otherwise encumbered, Guarantor shall be liable to the assignees of this
Guarantee without in any manner affecting the liability of Guarantor hereunder. This
Guarantee may also be assigned, pledged, mortgaged or otherwise encumbered by the
Grantee land Owner in connection with an assignment, pledge, mortgage or other
encumbrance by the Grantee land Owner of its interest in the Grantee land, and when
so assigned, pledged, mortgaged or otherwise encumbered, Guarantor shall be liable
to the assignees of this Guarantee without in any manner affecting the liability of
Guarantor hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the lease is terminated,
Grantee or New Tenant is granted no greater rights by virtue of the right to assign,
pledge or mortgage its interest in this Guarantee than Grantee has been granted under
the lease, or New Tenant has been granted under the New Tenant's Documents, to
assign, pledge or mortgage Tenant's Interest in the Premises.
14. This Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of Florida applicable to agreements made and to be wholly performed
within the State of Florida.
-7-
W6-MI962620.064
15. This Guarantee shall constitute the entire agreement of Guarantor with Grantee
with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Guarantee may not be modified or
amended, except by an agreement in writing executed by all of the parties hereto.
16. In order to induce Grantee to accept this Guarantee, Guarantor represents and
warrants to Grantee that as of the date hereof:
(i) Guarantor is a municipal corporation duly validly existing, and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Florida;
(ii) Guarantor has the requisite power and authority to enter into and
carry out the terms and provisions of this Guarantee, and the
execution, delivery, and performance of this Guarantee have been
duly authorized and approved by all requisite action;
(iii) This Guarantee constitutes a valid and binding obligation of
Guarantor enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its
terms (subject to any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
receivership, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights and
remedies of creditors generally, and subject to the effect of general
principles of equity);
(iv) Guarantor's execution and performance of this Guarantee will not
result in a breach or violation of, or default under, any
Requirements applicable to Guarantor or any agreement, order,
commitment, judgment, or decree by which Guarantor is bound;
(v) The person executing this Guarantee on behalf of Guarantor has
all requisite authority to do so, as a duly authorized signatory of
Guarantor; and
(vi) Guarantor is solvent and will not be rendered insolvent by reason
of this Guarantee.
17. Whenever it is provided herein that notice, demand, request, consent, approval
or other communication shall or may be given to, or served upon, either of the parties
by the other, or whenever either of the parties desires to give or serve upon the other
any notice, demand request, consent, approval or other communication with respect
hereto, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval or other communication
(herein referred to as a "Notice") shall be in writing and shall be effective for any
purpose only if given or served by (i) certified or registered U.S. Mail, postage prepaid,
return receipt requested, (ii) personal delivery with a signed receipt or (iii) a recognized
national courier service, addressed as follows (or to such other addresses as a party

Any such Notice may be given, in the manner provided in this Section, on behalf of any
party by such party's attorneys as designed by such party by Notice hereunder. Every
Notice shall be effective on the date actually received, as indicated on the receipt
therefor or on the date delivery thereof is refused by the recipient thereof.
18. The acceptance by Grantee of this Guarantee shall constitute its acceptance of
the terms and provisions hereof.
19. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guarantee, if, and only
if, the Requirements so require, the obligations of Guarantor under this Guarantee shall
be required to be satisfied solely from Non-Ad Valorem Funds (as hereinafter defined)
budgeted and appropriated by the City on an annual basis as described in this Section
19. In which event, Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees to appropriate in its
annual budget, or by amendment thereto, if necessary, from Non-Ad Valorem Funds
lawfully available in each fiscal year, amounts sufficient to satisfy all of its obligations
under this Guarantee and under that certain Completion Guarantee dated the date
hereof given by Guarantor to MB Redevelopment, Inc. dated the date hereof with
respect to the obligations of the Owner under Section 21 of the lease (the "Completion
Guarantee"). Such covenant and agreement on the part of the Guarantor to budget
and appropriate such amounts of Non-Ad Valorem Funds shall be cumulative to the
extent not paid, and shall continue until such Non-Ad Valorem Funds or other legally
available funds in amounts sufficient to satisfy all of Guarantor's obligations under this
Guarantee and under the Completion Guarantee shall have been budgeted,
appropriated and actually paid. Subject to the provisions of this Section 19, such
covenant and agreement on the part of the Guarantor to budget and appropriate such
amount of Non-Ad Valorem Funds as security for the performance of all of its
obligations under this Guarantee shall in no way be construed as limiting the liability of
Guarantor under this Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing covenant and
agreement of the Guarantor, the Guarantor does not covenant to maintain any services
or programs now provided or maintained by the Guarantor, which generate Non-Ad
Valorem Funds.
- 10-
W6-MI962620.064
Such covenant and agreement to budget and appropriate does not create any
lien upon or pledge of such Non-Ad Valorem Funds, nor does it preclude the Guarantor
from pledging in the future its Non-Ad Valorem Funds, nor does it require the Guarantor
to levy and collect any particular Non-Ad Valorem Funds, nor does it give MB
Redevelopment, Inc. a prior claim on the Non-Ad Valorem Funds as opposed to claims
of general creditors of the Guarantor. Such covenant and agreement to appropriate
Non-Ad Valorem Funds is subject in all respects to the payment of obligations secured
by a pledge of all or portions of the Non-Ad Valorem Funds heretofore or hereinafter
entered into (including the payment of debt service on bonds and other debt
instruments). However, the covenant and agreement to budget and appropriate in its
general annual budget or amendment thereto for the purposes and in the manner
stated herein shall have the effect of making available in the manner described herein
Non-Ad Valorem Funds and placing on the Guarantor a positive duty to appropriate and
budget, by amendment, if necessary, amounts sufficient to meet its obligations
hereunder and under the Completion Guarantee; subject, however, in all respects to
the restrictions of Section 166.241 (3), Florida Statutes, which provides, in part, that the
governing body of each municipality make appropriations for each fiscal year which, in
anyone year, shall not exceed the amount to be received from taxation or other
revenue sources; and subject further, to the payment of services and programs which
are for essential public purposes affecting the health, welfare and safety of the
inhabitants of the City or which are legally mandated by applicable law. To the extent
Requirements do not require that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder be satisfied
solely from Non Ad-Valorem Funds as described in this Section 19, Grantee shall have
all the rights and remedies available at law or in equity under the laws of the State of
Florida.
The term "Non Ad-Valorem Funds" shall mean all revenues of the Guarantor
derived from any source other than ad valorem taxation on real or personal property,
which are legally available to make the payments required herein, but only after
provision has been made by the Guarantor for the payment of all essential or legally
mandated services.
20. This Guarantee shall not terminate and shall continue to be in full force and
effect until the termination of the Easement Agreement in accordance with the
provisions thereof (subject to the provisions of Section 9 and Section 10 hereof).
21. This Guarantee and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder are solely corporate
obligations of the Guarantor, and no personal liability whatever shall attach to, or is or
shall be incurred by, the incorporators, stockholders, officers, members, partners,
holders of other ownership interests, directors, elected or appointed officials (including,
without limitation, the Mayor and commissioners of the Guarantor) or employees of the
Guarantor, or of any successor corporation or other successor entity, or any of them,
under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this
Guarantee or implied therefrom; and any and all such personal liability, either at

under this Guarantee and under that certain Completion Guarantee dated the date
hereof given by Guarantor to MB Redevelopment, Inc. dated the date hereof with
respect to the obligations of the Owner under Section 21 of the lease (the "Completion
Guarantee"). Such covenant and agreement on the part of the Guarantor to budget
and appropriate such amounts of Non-Ad Valorem Funds shall be cumulative to the
extent not paid, and shall continue until such Non-Ad Valorem Funds or other legally
available funds in amounts sufficient to satisfy all of Guarantor's obligations under this
Guarantee and under the Completion Guarantee shall have been budgeted,
appropriated and actually paid. Subject to the provisions of this Section 19, such
covenant and agreement on the part of the Guarantor to budget and appropriate such
amount of Non-Ad Valorem Funds as security for the performance of all of its
obligations under this Guarantee shall in no way be construed as limiting the liability of
Guarantor under this Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing covenant and
agreement of the Guarantor, the Guarantor does not covenant to maintain any services
or programs now provided or maintained by the Guarantor, which generate Non-Ad
Valorem Funds.

Such covenant and agreement to budget and appropriate does not create any
lien upon or pledge of such Non-Ad Valorem Funds, nor does it preclude the Guarantor
from pledging in the future its Non-Ad Valorem Funds, nor does it require the Guarantor
to levy and collect any particular Non-Ad Valorem Funds, nor does it give MB
Redevelopment, Inc. a prior claim on the Non-Ad Valorem Funds as opposed to claims
of general creditors of the Guarantor. Such covenant and agreement to appropriate
Non-Ad Valorem Funds is subject in all respects to the payment of obligations secured
by a pledge of all or portions of the Non-Ad Valorem Funds heretofore or hereinafter
entered into (including the payment of debt service on bonds and other debt
instruments). However, the covenant and agreement to budget and appropriate in its
general annual budget or amendment thereto for the purposes and in the manner
stated herein shall have the effect of making available in the manner described herein
Non-Ad Valorem Funds and placing on the 'Guarantor a positive duty to appropriate and
budget, by amendment, if necessary, amounts sufficient to meet its obligations
hereunder and under the Completion Guarantee; subject, however, in all respects to
the restrictions of Section 166.241 (3), Florida Statutes, which provides, in part, that the
governing body of each municipality make appropriations for each fiscal year which, in
anyone year, shall not exceed the amount to be received from taxation or other
revenue sources; and subject further, to the payment of services and programs which
are for essential public purposes affecting the health, welfare and safety of the
inhabitants of the City or which are legally mandated by applicable law. To the extent
Requirements do not require that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder be satisfied
solely from Non Ad-Valorem Funds as described in this Section 19, Grantee shall have
all the rights and remedies available at law or in equity under the laws of the State of
Florida.
The term "Non Ad-Valorem Funds" shall mean all revenues of the Guarantor
derived from any source other than ad valorem taxation on real or personal property,
which are legally available to make the payments required herein, but only after
provision has been made by the Guarantor for the payment of all essential or legally
mandated services.
20. This Guarantee shall not terminate and shall continue to be in full force and
effect until the termination of the Easement Agreement in accordance with the
provisions thereof (subject to the provisions of Section 9 and Section 10 hereof).
21. This Guarantee and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder are solely corporate
obligations of the Guarantor, and no personal liability whatever shall attach to, or is or
shall be incurred by, the incorporators, stockholders, officers, members, partners,
holders of other ownership interests, directors, elected or appointed officials (including,
without limitation, the Mayor and commissioners of the Guarantor) or employees of the
Guarantor, or of any successor corporation or other successor entity, or any of them,
under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this
Guarantee or implied therefrom; and any and all such personal liability, either at

common law or in equity or by constitution or statute, of, and any and all such rights
and claims against, every such incorporator, stockholder, officer, member, partner,
holder of oth"er ownership interest, director or employee, as such, or under or by reason
of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Guarantee or implied
therefrom, are hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a
consideration for, the execution and delivery of this Guarantee by Guarantor.
