The floor area designated herein is accepted and
agreed to by the parties hereto for all purposes
notwithstanding any actual variation which may be
revealed by subsequent measurement or which may
result in completion of the Demised Premises for
occupancy. The Lessor shall not be obligated or
required to make any repairs, alterations,
improvements or additions or to do any other work
in or upon the Demised Premises for Lessee ' s
occupancy unless the same is specifically set forth

The Lease term shall be for the period specified herein unless
sooner terminated or extended as provided herein. If the

on the "commencement date" provided herein, either by reason
of the holding over of any prior tenant or for any other
reasons, an abatement or diminution of the rent shall be
allowed Lessee under such circumstances until possession is
delivered to Lessee, but nothing herein shall operate to
extend the initial term of this Lease beyond the agreed
expiration date, and such abatement of rent shall be the full
extent of Lessor's liability to Lessee for any loss or damage
to Lessee on account of any delay in obtaining possession of
the Demised Premises. If Lessee, with Lessor's prior written
consent, shall occupy the Demised Premises before commencement
of the term herein, all provisions of this Lease shall be in

Certificate of Occupancy or December 15, 1993 , whichever
occurs first, and will be due and payable in advance on
the first day of the month. Rental shall be as follows:
Twelve ($12 .00) Dollars per square foot for space leased
per year, payable in monthly installments. Such rental

the fourth floor shall total eighteen thousand two
hundred and forty (18, 240) dollars per year, payable in
monthly installments of One thousand five hundred twenty
($1, 520. 00) , dollars.
3 . 3 Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor as "Minimum Rent, "
without notice or demand, the monthly sum set forth
herein (as the same may be increased pursuant to Section
3 . 5 below) , in advance, on or before the first day of
each and every successive calendar month during the term
hereof. Rent shall commence on the date specified in
Section 3 . 1, above. Rent for any period which is for
less than one (1) month shall be a prorated portion of
the monthly installment herein based upon a thirty (30)
day month. All rent shall be paid to Lessor, without
deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States
of America and at such place as Lessor may from time to
time designate in writing.
3 . 4 Lessee shall be required to pay Lessor interest at the
highest rate permitted by law on any rents or other
payments due Lessor hereunder that remain unpaid after
its due date; and, to the extent any payment of rent or
other charge remains unpaid for a period of five (5) days
after its due date, in addition to any other remedies,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge of fifty ($50)
dollars to cover Lessor' s additional administrative
expenses.
3 . 5 The Minimum Rent set forth in 3 . 2 herein shall be
increased or decreased if the Consumer Price Index,
(C. P. I . ) - U.S. City Average - Urban Consumers Index, as
published by the United States Department of Labor' s
Bureau of Labor Statistics, increases over the Base
Period Index. The Base Period Index shall be the Index
for the calendar month or months prior to the
commencement date of rent in Section 3 . 1 above. The Base
Period Index shall be compared with the Index for the
same calendar month for each subsequent year (comparison
month) . If the Index for any comparison month is higher
than the Base Period Index, then the Minimum Rent for the
next year shall be increased by the identical percentage
commencing with the next rental commencement month. In
no event shall the Minimum Rent be reduced to an amount
less than the prior month' s Minimum Rent. The increase
for any Lease Year shall be limited to five percent (5%) .
*[By way of illustration only, if the commencement date of
rent were to be in June of 1993 , then the Base Period Index
would be February 1993 (assume 176. 3) and that Index shall be
compared to the Index for February 1994 (assume 185.8) , and
because the Index for February 1994 is 5. 39% higher, the
minimum rent commencing June, 1994 would be 5% higher;
likewise the Index for February 1995 shall be compared with
the Index for February 1993] . Should the Bureau discontinue
2
the publication of the above Index, or publish same less
frequently, or alter same in some other manner, than Lessor
shall adopt a substitute Index or substitute procedure which
reasonably reflects and monitors consumer prices.

4 . 1 In addition to the Minimum Base Rent of twelve dollars
per square foot for space leased per year in the monthly
installment rent as provided above, Lessee shall also pay to
Lessor Additional Rent in the amount of $1.34 dollars per
square foot for space leased per year, or $169 . 73 per month,

included within the Minimum Base Rental amount of $12 . 00 per
square foot.

incurred in operating, repairing, maintaining and replacing
(any capital replacement costs shall be amortized on straight
line basis over the useful life of the improvement, as
determined by generally accepted accounting principles) the
Common Facilities (hereinafter defined) actually used or
available for use by the Lessee and its employees, agents,
servants, customers and invitees, excluding only the items

is further understood between the parties that future costs
incurred in connection with such major capital replacement
items, including substantial exterior and interior structural
repairs, roof repairs, and plumbing and electrical items which
affect and impact upon the entire Historic City Hall building,
shall be the responsibility of the Lessor.

special services provided by the Lessor for the common or
joint use and benefit of the occupants of Old City Hall, their
employees, agents, servants, customers and other invitees.
4 . 2 Upon the Commencement Date of the Lease, Lessor shall
submit to Lessee a statement of the anticipated monthly
Additional Rent for the period between such commencement and
the following October and Lessee shall pay same on a monthly
basis on the first day of each month during the term period.
Lessee shall continue to make said monthly payments until
notified by Lessor of a change thereof. By October 1st of
each year Lessor shall endeavor to give Lessee a statement
showing the total Operating Expenses for Old City Hall for the
prior calendar year and Lessee's Proportionate Share thereof,
prorated from the Commencement Date. In the event the total
of the monthly payments which Lessee has made for the prior
calendar year shall be less than the Lessee' s actual
Additional Rent due, then Lessee shall pay the difference in
a lump sum within ten (10) days after receipt of such
statement from Lessor and shall concurrently pay the
difference in monthly payments made in the then calendar year
and the amount of monthly payments which are then calculated
as monthly Additional Rent based on the prior year's
experience. Any over-payment by Lessee shall be credited
toward the monthly Additional Rent next coming due. The
anticipated monthly Additional Rent billed to Lessee may be

year' s actual statements or Lessor' s anticipated costs. Even
though the term has expired and Lessee has vacated the Demised
Premises, when the final determination is made of Lessee's
share of said Additional Rent for the year in which this Lease
terminates, Lessee shall immediately pay any increase due over
the estimated Additional Rent previously paid and, conversely,
any overpayment made shall be immediately rebated by Lessor to
3
Lessee. Failure of Lessor to submit statements as called for
herein shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Lessee ' s
requirement to pay sums as herein provided.
5. Sales Tax.
Along with each installment of Minimum and Additional Rent
provided herein, the Lessee shall also pay to the Lessor the
sales or privilege tax, now or hereafter prescribed by
State, Federal or local law, and now described by Florida
Statute 212 . 031, presently at the rate of six and one half
(6. 5%) percent of the rental payments.

to commence at 12 : 01 a.m. on the day following the last day of
the lease term then in effect and to expire at Midnight on the

additional subsequent five (5) year renewal term, provided the
Lessee shall request the extension from lessor by writing the
City Manager at least one (1) year prior to the expiration of
the first renewal term, and that the Lease is in good
standing. The Rent for the option terms shall be the same as
the Rent for the original term, but subject to adjustment for
cost of living, as follows:
A. Minimum rent for the option terms shall be adjusted
annually in proportion to changes in the Consumer Price Index
(C.P. I . ) - U.S. City Average - All Urban Consumers Index as
published by the United States Department of Labor Bureau of
Labor Statistics. Such adjustment shall be calculated in the
same manner as adjustments for Minimum Rent during the first
lease term herein, and as specifically set forth in Subsection

to the Lessor for the first year of the option term.
7 . Security Deposit.
7 . 1 Concurrently with the execution of this Lease, the Lessee
has deposited with the Lessor the sum of three thousand
three hundred seventh-eight dollars and 28/100 cents
($3,378.28) for the full and faithful performance by the

to, the payment of any rentals, the Lessor may use, apply
or retain the whole or any part of the Security so
deposited for the payment of such rentals in default or
any other sum which the Lessor may expend or be required
to expend by reason of the Lessee ' s default, including
any damages or deficiency in the reletting of the Demised
Premises, whether such damages or deficiency may accrue
or after summary proceedings or other re-entry by Lessor.

sufficient to restore the security deposit to its
original amount and Lessee' s failure to do so shall be a

thereof shall be returned to the Lessee upon the

apply to every transfer or assignment made of the
Security to any new landlord.
7 . 5 The Security Deposit under this Lease shall not be
assigned or encumbered by the Lessee without written
consent of the Lessor. It is expressly understood that
the issuance of a warrant and the re-entry to the Demised
Premises by the Lessor for any default on the part of the
Lessee, prior to the expiration of the term of this
Lease, shall not be deemed such termination of this Lease
as to entitle the Lessee to recovery of the Security and
the Deposit shall be retained and remain the possession
of the Lessor until the Lessee completes its leasehold
improvements and provides the Lessor with a copy of the
Certificate of Occupancy.

about the Demised Premises nor keep anything therein
which is not within the permitted use of the Demised

the right of other tenants or occupants of Old City Hall

or objectionable purposes; nor shall Lessee cause,

Demised Premises shall remain the property of the Lessor
upon termination of the Lease. Upon the lawful

fixtures may be removed by the Lessee from the premises
without damage to the premises. The failure of Lessee to
complete the improvements and be granted a Certificate of
Occupancy within a reasonable time from the date of
execution of this Lease shall be deemed a default by
Lessee. However, Lessor shall warrant that Lessee will
not be deemed in default hereunder if Lessee elects not
to alter the Demised Premises, but uses same in their
present "as is" condition Lessee will permit no liens to
attach to the Demised Premises arising from, connected
with or related to the construction of the improvements.
Moreover, such construction shall be accomplished through

of inspecting the same, preventing waste, making such
repairs as the Lessor may consider necessary and for the
purpose of preventing fire, theft or vandalism. Nothing
herein shall imply any duty on the part of the Lessor to
do any work which under any provisions of this Lease the
Lessee may be required to perform, and the performance
thereof by the Lessor shall not constitute a waiver of
the Lessee's default. Lessee hereby waives any claim for
damages or for any injury or inconvenience to or
interference with Lessee' s business, any loss of
occupancy or quite enjoyment of the Demised Premises, and
any other loss occasioned thereby.

shall be deemed an assignment, and such sale or transfer
shall not be made without the prior consent of Lessor.
Lessee is prohibited from assigning or subletting this
Lease to any person or entity which is not of the same or
higher financial responsibility as Lessee.
Notwithstanding anything herein above stated, upon
execution of this Lease Agreement, Lessee shall have the
right to assign this Lease to American Riviera Real
Estate Company, a Florida Corporation of which Mr. Ron
Bloomberg is and shall remain as principal and majority
shareholder. In granting this assignment, it is further
acknowledged between the parties, that Mr. Ron Bloomberg
shall continue at all times throughout the term of this
Agreement, unless otherwise approved pursuant to this
section, to manage, control and occupy the Demised
Premises.
13 . 2 Any consent by the Lessor to any act of assignment shall
apply only to the specific transaction thereby
authorized. Such consent shall not be construed as a
waiver of the duty of the Lessee or the legal
representatives or assigns of the Lessee, to obtain from
the Lessor consent to any other or subsequent assignment,
or as modifying or limiting the rights of the Lessor
8
under the foregoing covenants of the Lessee not to assign
without such consent.
13 . 3 Any violation of the provisions of this Lease, whether by
act or omissions, by assignee, sub-tenant, or under-
tenant or occupant, shall be deemed a violation of such
provision by the Lessee, it being the intention and
meaning of the parties hereto, that the Lessee shall
assume and be liable to the Lessor for any and all acts
and omissions of any and all assignees, sub-tenants, or
under-tenants or occupants. If the Lease be assigned, the
Lessor may and is hereby empowered to collect rent from
the assignee; if the Demised Premises or any part
thereof be underlet or occupied by any person, other than
the Lessee, the Lessor, in the event of the Lessee's
default, may, and is hereby empowered to, collect rent
from the under-tenant or occupants; in either of such
events, the Lessor may apply the net amount received by
it for rent herein reserved, and no such collection shall
be deemed a waiver of the covenant herein against
assignment or the acceptance of the assignee, under-
tenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of the Lessee
from the further performance of the covenants herein
contained on the part of the Lessee.
14 . Maintenance and Repair.
14 . 1 The taking of possession of the Demised Premises by
Lessee shall be conclusive evidence against Lessee that
the Demised Premises were in good and satisfactory
condition when possession was taken. Lessee shall
maintain the Demised Premises and the fixtures and
appurtenances therein, and at its sole cost and expense
shall make all repairs thereto as and when needed to
preserve them in good working order and condition. Lessor
shall be responsible for the maintenance of the roof, the
exterior of the building, the structural electrical and
plumbing (other than plumbing surrounding kitchen sink) ,
the common areas and the chilled water supply system.
14 . 2 All damage or injury of any kind to the Demised Premises
and to its fixtures, glass, appurtenances, and equipment
or to the buildings fixtures, glass, appurtenances and
equipment, except damage caused by the wrongful acts or
negligence of the Lessor, shall be the obligation of
Lessee, and shall be repaired, restored or replaced
promptly by Lessee at its sole cost and expense to the
satisfaction of Lessor. There shall be no abatement of
rent and no liability of Lessor by reason of any injury
to or interference with Lessee' s business arising from
the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in
or to any portion of Old City Hall or in or to fixtures,
appurtenances and equipment therein; unless Lessee
demonstrates to Lessor that such repairs, alterations or
improvements materially impact Lessee' s ability conduct
business upon the Demised Premises. In such an event,
the parties agree to abate the rent for the period of
time in which said repairs, alterations or improvements
are to take place. Lessee waives the right to make
repairs at Lessor' s expense under any law, statute or
ordinance now or hereafter in effect. Lessee shall
permit Lessor to install, use, repair, replace and
maintain pipes, ducts and conduits under the Demised
Premises as may be desirable to service the other
portions of Old City Hall, provided that the installation
work is performed at such times and by such methods as
will not unreasonably interfere with Lessee's use and
occupancy of the Demised Premises.
14 . 3 All of the aforesaid repairs, restorations and
replacements shall be in quality and class equal to the
9
original work or installations and shall be done in good
and workmanlike manner.
14 . 4 If Lessee fails, refuses or neglects to make such repairs
or restorations or replacements, as required hereunder,
to the reasonable satisfaction of Lessor within thirty
(3 0) days after written demand (or shorter period in the
event of an emergency) , the same may be made by Lessor
without liability to Lessee for any loss or damage that
may occur to Lessee's merchandise, fixtures, or other
property of or to the Lessee ' s business by reason
thereof, and upon completion thereof, the Lessee shall
may the Lessor' s cost for making such repairs plus
twenty-five (25%) percent for overhead, within ten (10)
days after presentation of a bill or statement therefore,
payable as additional rent. In all other respects, the
property is being leased in its present "as is"
condition, subject to Lessor' s obligations under the RFP.
14 . 5 It shall be Lessee's obligation to insure that any
renovations and/or improvements made by Lessee to the
premises comply with all applicable building codes and
life safety codes of governmental authorities having
jurisdiction, except as to the roof and exterior. Lessor
reserves the right, without any liability to Lessee, and
without being in breach of any covenant of this Lease
Agreement to stop, interrupt or suspend services of any
of the electric, elevator, water, sewer or other services
provided by Lessor to the Demised Premises, or the
rendition of any of the other services required of Lessor
under this Lease Agreement, whenever and for so long as
may be necessary by reason of accidents, emergencies,
strikes or the making of repairs or changes which Lessor
is required by this Lease Agreement or by law to make or
in good faith deems advisable or by reason of difficulty
in securing proper supplies of fuel, water, electricity,
labor or supplies or by reason of any other cause beyond
the Lessor' s control , including governmental restrictions
on the use of materials or the use of any of services
provided by Lessor. In each instance, Lessor shall
exercise reasonable diligence to eliminate the cause of
stoppage and to effect restoration of service. Lessee
shall not be entitled to any diminution or abatement or
other compensation nor shall this Lease be affected or
reduced by reason of the interruption, stoppage or
suspension of any of items or services provided herein by
Lessor, unless otherwise specified by Lessor.
15. Governmental Regulations.
The Lessee covenants and agrees to fulfill and comply with all
statutes, ordinances, rules, orders, regulations, and
requirements of any and all governmental bodies, including but
not limited to Federal, State and City governments, and any
and all of their departments and bureaus applicable to the
premises and shall also comply with and fulfill all rules,
orders, and regulations for the prevention of fire, all at
Lessee's own cost and expense. The Lessee shall pay all cost,
expenses, claims, fines, penalties, and damages that may be
imposed because of the failure of the Lessee to comply with
this paragraph, and shall indemnify the Lessor from all
liability arising from each non-compliance.
16. Liens.
Lessee will not permit any mechanics, laborers, or
materialman' s liens to stand against the leased premises or
improvements for any labor or materials to Lessee or claimed
to have been furnished to Lessee ' s agents, contractors, or
sub-lessees, in connection with work of any character
performed or claimed to have performed on said premises, or
10
improvements by or at the direction or sufferance of the
Lessee. Lessee further agrees that Lessee will promptly pay
and satisfy all liens of contractors, subcontractors,
mechanics, laborers, materialmen, and other items of like
character, and will indemnify Lessor against all expenses,
costs and charges, including bond premiums, for release of
liens and attorney ' s fees and cost reasonably incurred in and
about the defense of any suite in discharging the Demise
Premises, Old City Hall or any part thereof. Provided
however, Lessee shall have the right to contest the validity
or amount of any such lien or claimed lien. In the event of
such contest, Lessee shall give the Lessor reasonable security
as may be demanded by lessor to insure payment thereof and
prevent sale, foreclosure, or forfeiture of the premises or
improvements by reason of such non-payment. Such security need
not exceed one and one half (1-1/2) times the amount of such
lien or such claim of lien. Such security shall be posted by
Lessee within ten (10) days of written notice from Lessor, or
Lessee may "bond off" the lien according to statutory
procedures. Lessee will immediately pay any judgement
rendered with all proper cost and charges and shall have such
lien released or judgement satisfied at Lessee 's own expense.
The Lessee herein shall not have any authority to create any
liens for labor or material on the Lessor' s interest in the
Demised Premises and all persons contracting with the Lessee
for the construction or removal of any facilities or other
improvements on or about the Demised Premises, and all
materialmen, contractors, mechanics, and laborers are hereby
charged with notice that they must look only to the Lessee and
to the Lessee ' s interest in the Demised Premises to secure the
payment of any bill for work done or material furnished at the
request or instruction of Lessee. Lessor may, at Lessor's
option, record a notice of this provision in the public
records of Dade County, Florida.
17 . Enforcement.
Lessee agrees to pay the rent herein reserved at the time and
in the manner aforesaid, and should said rent herein provided,
at any time remain due and unpaid for a period of fifteen (15)
days after the same shall become due, the Lessor may exercise
any or all options available to it hereunder, which options
may be exercised concurrently or separately or the Lessor may
pursue any other remedies enforced by law.
18 . Default.
18 . 1 At the Lessor' s option, any of the following shall

Demised Premises and open for business fully
fixtured, stalked and staffed within 60 days after
the commencement date;
18 . 1. 2 The rent or any installment thereof is not paid

18 . 1. 5 The Lessee shall fail to comply with any material
term, provision, condition or covenant contained
herein other than the payment of rent and shall not
11
cure such failure within thirty (30) days after the
receipt of written notice from Lessor specifying
any such default; or such longer period of time
acceptable to Lessor;
18 . 1. 6 Receipt of notice of violation from any
governmental authority having jurisdiction dealing
with a code, regulation, ordinance or the like, as
same shall be brought to the attention of Lessee,
and which remains uncured for a period of thirty
(30) days from its issuance, or such longer period
of time acceptable to Lessor.
18 . 1. 7 Any petition is filed by or against Lessee under
any section or chapter of the Bankruptcy Act, as
amended, which remains pending for more than sixty
(60) days, or any other proceedings now or
hereafter authorized by the laws of the United
States or of any state for the purpose of
discharging or extending the time for payment of
debts;
18 . 1. 8 Lessee shall become insolvent or make transfer in
fraud of creditors;
18 . 1. 9 Lessee shall make an assignment for benefit of

20. Lessor's Rights on Default.
20. 1 In the event of any default by Lessee as provided herein,
Lessor shall have the option to do any of the following
in addition to and not in limitation of any other remedy
permitted by law or by this Lease;
20. 1. 1 Terminate this Lease, in which event Lessee shall
immediately surrender the Demised Premises to
Lessor, but if Lessee shall fail to do so Lessor
may, without further notice, and without prejudice
to any other remedy Lessor may have for possession
or arrearages in rent or damages for breach of
contract, enter upon Demised Premises and expel or
remove Lessee and his effects in accordance with
law, without being liable for prosecution or any
claim for damages therefore and Lessee agrees to
indemnify Lessor for all loss and damage which
Lessor may suffer by reason of such Lease
termination, whether through inability to re-let
the "Demised Premises, or through decrease in rent,
or otherwise.
20. 1. 2 Declare the entire amount of the rent which would
become due and payable during the remainder of the
term of this Lease to be due and payable
immediately, in which event Lessee agrees to pay
the same at once, together with all rents therefore
due, at the address of Lessor; as provided in the
Notices section of this Lease: provided, however,
that such payment shall not constitute a penalty,
forfeiture, or liquidated damage, but shall merely
constitute payment in advance of the rent for the
remainder of said term and such payment shall be
considered, construed and taken to be a debt
provable in bankruptcy or receivership.
12
20. 1. 3 In compliance with and pursuant to applicable law,
enter the Demised Premises as the agent of Lessee,
by force if necessary, without being liable to
prosecution or any claim for damages therefor,
remove Lessee' s property therefrom, and re-let the
premises, or portions thereof, for such terms and
upon such conditions which Lessor deems, in its
sole discretion, desirable, and to receive the
rents therefor, and Lessee shall pay Lessor any
deficiency that may arise by reason of such
reletting, on demand at any time and from time to
time at the office of Lessor; and for the purpose
of re-letting, Lessor 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
therefor from rents resulting from re-letting, and
(iii) Lessee shall pay Lessor any deficiency as
aforesaid.
20. 1. 4 It is expressly agreed and understood by and
between the parties hereto that any installments of
rent accruing under the provisions of this Lease
which shall not be paid within ten (10) days of
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
Lessee. Any failure on Lessor' s behalf to enforce
this paragraph shall not constitute a waiver of
this provision with respect to future accruals of
past due rent.
20. 1. 5 If Lessee shall default in making any payment of
monies to any person or for any purpose as may be
required hereunder, Lessor may pay such expense but
Lessor shall not be obligated to do so. Lessee
upon Lessor' s paying such expense shall be
obligated to forthwith reimburse Lessor for the
amount thereof. All sums of money payable by
Lessee to lessor hereunder shall be deemed as rent
for use of the Demised Premises and collectible by
Lessor form Lessee as rent, and shall be due from
Lessee to Lessor on the first day of the month
following the payment of the expense by Lessor.
20. 1. 6 The rights of the Lessor under this Lease shall be
cumulative but not restrictive to those given by
law and failure on the part of the Lessor to
exercise promptly any rights given hereunder shall
not operate to waive or to forfeit any of the said
rights.
20. 1. 7 Nothing herein contained shall be construed as
precluding the Lessor from having such remedy as
may become necessary in order to preserve the
Lessor's right or the interest of the Lessor in the
Demised Premises and in this Lease Agreement, even
before the expiration of the grace or notice
periods provided for in this Lease Agreement. If
under the particular circumstances then existing
the allowance of such grace or the giving of such
notice will prejudice or will endanger the rights
and estate of the Lessor in this Lease Agreement or
in the Demised Premises.
20. 1. 8 Lessee hereby pledges and assigns to Lessor
security for the payment of any and all rent or
other sums or amounts provided for herein, all of
the furniture, fixtures, equipment, goods and
13
chattels of Lessee which shall or may be brought or
put on or into the Demised Premises, and Lessee
agrees that said lien may be enforced by distress,
foreclosure or otherwise, at the election of the
Lessor. Lessee hereby expressly waives and
renounces for himself and family any and all
homestead and exemption rights he may now or
hereafter require under or by virtue of the
constitution and laws of the State of Florida or of
any other state, or of the United States, as
against the payment of said brand or any other
obligation or damage that may accrue under the
terms of this Lease Agreement.
20. 1.9 Failure of Lessor to declare any default
immediately upon occurrence thereof, or delay in
taking any action in connection therewith, shall
not waive such default, but Lessor shall have the
right to declare any such default at any time and
take such action as might be lawful or authorized
hereunder, in law and in equity. The acceptance of
rent by the Lessor hereunder, whether accompanied
by a Lessee denial of Default or otherwise shall in
no event ever be construed or deemed a waiver or
acceptance of any default by Lessee; and no waiver
of any term, provision, condition or covenant by
this Lease by Lessor shall ever deemed to imply or
constitute a further waiver by Lessor of such
default or a waiver of any other term, provision,
condition or covenant of this Lease.
21. Indemnity Against Costs and Charges.
21. 1 The Lessee shall be liable to the Lessor for all costs
and charges, expenses, reasonable attorney' s fees, and
damages which may be incurred or sustained by the Lessor,
by reason of the Lessee ' s breach of any of the provisions
of this Lease. Any sums due the Lessor under the
provisions of this Item shall constitute a lien against
the interest of the Lessee and the Demised Premises and
all of Lessee ' 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.
21. 2 If Lessee shall at any time be in default hereunder, and
if Lessor shall deem it necessary to engage an attorney
to enforce Lessor' s rights and Lessee ' s obligations
hereunder, the Lessee will reimburse the Lessor 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 Lessee shall be liable for expenses incurred at both
the trial and appellate levels.
22 . Indemnification Against Claims.
22 . 1 Except for the wrongful acts or negligence of Lessor
Lessor' s agents, contractors, employees, servants,
lessees, invitees or concessionaires, the Lessee shall
indemnify and save the Lessor harmless from and against
any and all claims or causes of action (whether
groundless or otherwise) by or on behalf of any persons,
firm, or corporation, for personal injury or property
damage occurring upon the Demised Premises or upon any
parking lot or other facility or appurtenance used in
connection with the Demised Premises, occasioned in whole
or in part by any of the following:
22 . 1. 1 An act or omission on the part of the Lessees, or
any employee, agent, invitee, or guest, assignee or
sub-tenant of the Lessee;
14
•
22 . 1. 2 Any misuse, neglect, or unlawful use of the Demised
Premise or the building in which the Demised
Premises is located or any of its facilities by
Lessee, or any employee, agent, invitee, or guest,
assignee or sub-tenant of the Lessee, but not to
include trespassers upon the Demised Premises;
22 . 1. 3 Any breach, violation, or non-performance of any
undertaking of the Lessee under this Lease;
22 . 1. 4 Anything growing out of the use or occupancy of the
Demised Premises by the Lessee or anyone holding or
claiming to hold through or under the Lessee.
22 .2 Lessee agrees to pay all damages to the Demised Premises
or other facility used in connection therewith, caused by
the Lessee or any employee, guest, or invitee of the
Lessee.
23 . Signs and Advertising.
Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold Lessee from painting
and displaying any signs, plaques, lettering or advertising
material of any kind on or near the Demised Premises including
Lessee' s right to display signage in the windows of the
Demised Premises as long as same conforms to all applicable
City signage criteria. Signage shall be limited to the ground
floor lobby directory, ground floor lobby, and any door to the
Demised Premises. All signage shall comply with signage
standards established by Lessor including, but not limited to,
the requirements of City of Miami Beach Ordinance No. 89-2665,
and all applicable Design and Zoning approvals by the City of
Miami Beach in the course of its design review and plan
approval process.
24 . Effect of Conveyance.
The term "Lessor" as used in this Lease 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 Lessor shall be and hereby is entirely freed and
relieved of all covenants and obligations of the Lessor
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 Lessee has assumed and agreed to carry
out all covenants and obligations of the Lessor hereunder.
25. Security; Loss; Damage to the Premises.
25. 1 Lessor shall not be responsible or liable for the theft,
loss or damage to person or property, in, on or about the
Demised Premises, and/or Old City Hall, including, without
limitations any property of Lessee, Lessee' s employees, agents
and invitees. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lessor is
not responsible for the security of the Demised Premises or
Old City Hall in general.
25.2 The building in which the Demised Premises are located is
insured under Lessor's fire insurance policy. If the
Demised Premises shall be damaged by the elements or
other casualty not due to Lessee 's negligence, or by
fire, but are not thereby rendered untenantable in whole
or in part, and such damage is covered by Lessor's
Insurance, if any, (hereinafter referred to as "such
occurrence") , Lessor shall, as soon as possible after
such occurrence, utilize the Insurance proceeds to cause
such damage to be repaired and the rent shall not be
abated. If by reason of such occurrence, the premises
shall be rendered untenantable only in part, Lessor shall
as soon as possible utilize the insurance proceeds to
cause the damage to be repaired, and the rent meanwhile
15
•
shall be abated proportionately as to the portion of the
premises rendered untenantable; provided however, if the
premises are by reason of such occurrence, rendered more
than 50% but less than 100% untenantable, Lessor shall
promptly obtain a good faith estimate of the time
required to render the premises tenantable. If such time
exceeds four (4) months, the Lessee shall have the option
of canceling this lease, which option shall be exercised
by Lessee in writing within ten (10) days of receipt of
notice of same from Lessor.
25 . 3 If the premises shall be rendered wholly untenantable by
reason of such occurrence, the lessor shall utilize the
insurance proceeds to cause such damage to be repaired
and the rent meanwhile shall be abated in whole;
provided, however, that Lessor shall have the right, to
be exercised by notice in writing delivered to Lessee
within sixty (6 0) days from and after said occurrence, to
elect not to reconstruct the destroyed premises, and in
such event, this lease and the tenancy hereby created
shall cease as of the date of said occurrence, the rent
to be adjusted as of such date. If the premises shall be
rendered wholly untenantable, the Lessee shall have the
right, to be exercised by notice in writing, delivered to
Lessee within thirty (30) days from and after said
occurrence, to elect to terminate this lease, the rent to
be adjusted accordingly. Notwithstanding any clause
contained in this paragraph, if Lessor becomes self
insured or the damage is not covered by Lessor' s
insurance, then Lessor shall have no obligation to repair
the damage, but Lessor shall advise Lessee in writing
within thirty (3 0) days of the occurrence giving rise to
the damage and of its decision not to repair, and the
Lessee may, at any time thereafter, elect to terminate
the lease, and the rent shall be adjusted accordingly.
26. Quiet Enjoyment.
Upon Lessee paying the rent reserved hereunder and observing
and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions
on Lessee part to be observed and performed hereunder, Lessee
shall enjoy quiet enjoyment of the premises and shall not be
evicted or disturbed in possession of the premises, and for as
long as Lessee complies with all of the covenants, conditions
and provisions on Lessee' s part to be observed and performed
hereunder.
27 . Waiver.
27 . 1 It is mutually covenanted and agreed by and between the
parties hereto that the failure of Lessor to insist upon
the strict performance of any of the conditions,
covenants, terms or provisions of this Lease, 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 Lessor to declare a forfeiture
on account of the violation of such term if such
violation be 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 Lessee to Lessor 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
16
such breach be expressly waived in writing by Lessor.
28 . Addresses for Notices.

Miami Beach Zoning Ordinance No. 1891 and has been qualified
by the United States Department of the Interior as a
"Certified Historical Structure" this in no way implies that
the Lessor grants nor promises any Federal credit or other tax
advantage of any kind by any source to the Lessee on the
Lessee's leasehold improvements or use of the Demised
Premises. Lessor specifically does not warrant or represent
the existence or feasibility of any such tax advantage to
Lessee. Lessee acknowledges, understands and agrees that it

putting leasehold improvements in a "Certified Historical
Structure" with Lessee' s accountants and/or attorneys.

any controversy or claim relating to the right to eviction or
ejectment shall be settled by litigation and not arbitration.
38 . Limitation Of Liability.
The Lessor desires to enter into this Agreement only if in so
doing the Lessor can place a limit on Lessor' s liability for
any cause of action for money damages due to an alleged breach
by the Lessor of this Agreement, so that its liability for any
such breach never exceeds the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars and
no/100 ($10, 000. 00) . Lessee hereby expresses its willingness
to enter into this Agreement with the Lessee' s recovery from
the Lessor for any damage action for breach of contract to be
limited to a maximum amount of Ten Thousand ($10, 000. 00)
Dollars. Accordingly, and notwithstanding any other term or
condition of this Agreement, Lessee hereby agrees that the
Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for damages in an amount
in excess of Ten Thousand ($10, 000. 00) Dollars for any action
or claim for breach of contract arising out of the performance
or non-performance of any obligations imposed upon the Lessor
by this Agreement. Nothing contained in this paragraph or
elsewhere in this Agreement is in any way intended to be a
waiver of the limitation placed upon Lessor's liability as set
forth in Florida Statutes, Section 768 . 28 .
39 . Surrender Of The Premises.
The Lessee shall, on or before the last day of the term herein
demised, or the sooner termination thereof, peaceably and
quietly leave, surrender and yield upon to the Lessor the
Demised Premises, together with any and all equipment,
18
fixtures, furnishings, appliances or other personal property
located at or on the Premises and used by Lessee in the
maintenance, management or operation of the Demised Premises,
excluding any trade fixtures or personal property which can be
removed without material injury to the Premises, free of all
liens, claims and encumbrances and rights of others or broom-
clean, together with all structural changes, alterations,
additions, and improvements which may have been made upon the
Premises, in good order, condition and repair, reasonable wear
and tear excepted, subject, however, to the subsequent
provisions of this Article. Any property which pursuant to the
provisions of this Article is removable by Lessee on or at the
Premises upon the termination of this Lease and is not so
removed may, at the option of the Lessor, be deemed abandoned
by the Lessee, and either may be retained by the Lessor as its
property or may be removed and disposed of at the sole cost of
the Lessee in such manner as the Lessor may see fit. If the
Premises and personal property be not surrendered at the end
of the term as provided in this article, the Lessee shall make
good to the Lessor all damages which the Lessor shall suffer
by reason thereof, and shall indemnify the Lessor against all
claims made by any succeeding tenant or purchaser, so far as
such delay is occasioned by the failure of the Lessee to
surrender the Premises as and when herein required.
40. Time Is Of The Essence.
Time is of the essence in every particular and particularly
where the obligation to pay money and with regard to the
commencement of the opening date of the premises is involved.
41. Radon Disclosure.
Radon Gas: Radon is a naturally occurring radio active gas,
that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient
quantities may present health risks to persons who are exposed
to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed Federal and
State Guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida.
Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may
be obtained from your County public health unit. [Note: This
