1.3 `°Initial Term": Landlord and Tenant are entering into this Lease, subject to the
subletting and use restrictions contained herein, for an initial term of five (5) Lease Years following
the Initial Commencement Date of the Lease.
(a) The Lease shall start from the Initial Commencement Date. The first Lease
Year for the Initial Term shall commence on the January 1" immediately after delivery of the
Premises to the Tenant, currently anticipated to be March 1, 2025. From there forward, each Lease
Year shall begin on January 1 st and end December 3 1 ' of each calendar year.
(b) The term "Initial Commencement Date" shall mean the date on which the
Premises are delivered to the Tenant for occupancy. The term "Final Expiration Date" shall mean
the last day of the Initial Term or of any subsequent renewal term under this Lease. The term of
this Lease (the "Term") shall commence on the Initial Commencement Date and expire on
December 31 of the fifth Lease Year; provided, however, at Tenant's sole option, to be exercised
by notice in writing to Landlord upon not less than six (6) months prior to the expiration of the
then -current Term ("Tenant's Right to Extend"), Tenant may thereafter renew for seven (7)
additional and consecutive periods of five (5) Lease Years each (collectively, the "Extended
Terms", and each, an "Extended Term") on the same terms and conditions as set forth in this
Lease (as same may be amended), except Rent payable for the Premises during each Extended
Term shall be as set forth in Section 1.5 below, but shall not be less than the final year of the prior

the first day of the tenth (l Oth) full calendar month after Initial Commencement Date (the "Initial
Monthly Payment Date"). Rent shall be prorated for any partial calendar month during the Term.

calendar month in which the Initial Monthly Payment Date occurs.

following the Initial Commencement Date (the "Premises Condition Report" or "PCR'), which
upon completion and return will become part of this Lease. Tenant will request Tenant's
representative to reasonably cooperate with and facilitate the completion of this process, however
the failure of Tenant to comply with the foregoing shall not be deemed a breach or default by

damage or other conditions repaired or remedied at Landlord's expense within a reasonable time
after Landlord's receipt of the PCR. In addition to the foregoing, prior to the Initial

In the event that the Premises (or any portion thereof) are not surrendered to Landlord on or prior
to the date required hereunder for any reason other than casualty, condemnation or Force Majeure,
the provisions set forth in Section 19.9 herein below shall apply. As used herein, "Force Majeure"
means acts of God, labor disputes (whether lawful or not), material or labor shortages, restrictions

or Tenant, as the case may be (which shall expressly exclude the satisfaction of Landlord's or
Tenant's financial obligations).
4.7 Funding Condition. In the event that Tenant does not appropriate sufficient funds
for the lease of the Premises for any Lease Year, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease
upon not less than ninety (90) days' prior written notice to Landlord, which notice shall specify

shall have no further obligations hereunder.

M
5.1 In the event Tenant fails to make any monetary payments when due as required by
this Lease, Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant of such breach in writing and Tenant shall have
ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice to cure such monetary breach. In the event Tenant
breaches any of its non -monetary obligations hereunder, Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant of
such breach in writing and Tenant shall have twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice to cure
such non -monetary breach, provided however, that in the event such breach is not reasonably able
to be cured within said twenty (20) day cure period, such cure period shall be extended for such
time as is reasonably necessary for Tenant to effect a cure as long as Tenant is diligently and
reasonably pursuing a cure of such breach. Should Tenant fail to cure any such monetary breach
within the ten (10) business day cure period noted above (except as hereinafter provided) or cure
any non -monetary breach within the twenty (20) day cure period (as same may be extended) noted
above, Landlord shall have all rights and remedies available under the Laws of the State of Florida.
5.2 In the event Landlord shall breach any of its obligations hereunder, Tenant shall
promptly notify Landlord of such breach in writing and, except as otherwise provided in this
Section 5.2 and/or elsewhere in this Lease, Landlord shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of
such notice to cure such breach, provided, however, that (a) if there is imminent threat to persons
or property, Landlord shall use diligent effort to immediately cure such breach and (b) if there is
no such emergent threat, in the event such breach is not reasonably able to be cured within said
thirty (30) day cure period, but such cure has been commenced and is being diligently prosecuted,
such cure period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Landlord to effect
such cure but no event shall such extension exceed sixty (60) days. In the event Landlord fails to
cure any such breach within the cure period, Tenant shall have all rights and remedies available
under the Laws of the State of Florida.

replace the Building (including the Premises) or to perform any of the other obligations required
of Landlord by the terms of this Lease in accordance with the provisions set forth herein within
sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice from Tenant of the necessity therefor or in the event
Landlord fails to provide janitorial services to the Building as required by this Lease, then Tenant

to the Premises, Tenant shall have the right but not the obligation to cure any such failure on
Landlord's behalf and to offset the costs of such cure, together with interest at the Interest Rate
from the date such costs are incurred by Tenant, against any payment of Rent or other amounts
due to Landlord hereunder. The foregoing remedies shall be without prejudice to any other right
or remedy available to Tenant hereunder or under applicable law.
5.4 Notwithstanding any provisions in this Lease to the contrary, except as set forth in
Section 4.4 hereof, in no event shall Landlord or Tenant (or any Eligible Subtenant) be liable for
any special, consequential, indirect, punitive, or non -economic damages arising out of this Lease
or any use and occupancy of the Premises, in whole or in part.

4) $1,000,000.00 aggregate for personal injury; and
5) Umbrella/Excess Liability coverage providing Combined of
Liability coverage of at least $4,000,000.00 (per occurrence and in the aggregate).
8.2 All of Tenant's insurance shall name Landlord and Landlord's lenders as
Additional Insureds. The Additional Insured Endorsement for CGL coverage shall state that the
coverage provided to the Additional Insureds is primary and non-contributory with any other
insurance available to the Additional Insureds. If the Additional Insured has insurance which is
applicable to the loss, such insurance shall be excess and noncontributory. To the extent available
from the applicable insurer, Landlord shall be given notice no less than thirty (30) days in advance
of any cancellation or non -renewal thereof. All of Tenant's insurance shall be provided by
companies having a Best rating of at least A- or better. Prior to the commencement of the Term,
Tenant shall provide to Landlord certificates of insurance to evidence Tenant's compliance with
the terms of Sections 8.1 and 8_2. A renewal certificate evidencing any insurance required to be
maintained by Tenant shall be provided no fewer than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of any
policy. If Tenant elects to exercise Tenant's Right to Extend for a period of time exceeding a
cumulative period of thirty (30) years or greater, Tenant shall maintain insurance that is
commercially reasonable for similar types of tenancies in existence at such time. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to self insure any loss
in lieu of maintaining any insurance required under this Lease.
8.3 Landlord's Insurance. At all times during the Term, Landlord will maintain in full
force and effect all-risk "special perils" insurance insuring the Building for the Building's full
replacement cost (excluding the foundation) and the contents thereof for its full replacement cost
(excluding personal property of Tenant or Eligible Subtenants or Other Tenants). In addition,
Landlord shall maintain in force during the entire Term of this Lease comprehensive general
liability insurance, including, without limitation, limits of at least $1,000,000.00 per occurrence
and $2,000,000.00 general aggregate addressing bodily injury and property damage, personal and
advertising injury, and products and completed operations, contractual liability coverage as
outlined in ISO Form CG 001 or its equivalent with excess umbrella liability coverage in an
amount of not less than $5,000,000.00 per occurrence and with an annual aggregate of not less
than $5,000,000.00. Prior to the commencement of the Term, Landlord shall provide to Tenant
certificates of such insurance to evidence Landlord's compliance with the terms of this Section
11
8.3. All additional insured endorsements shall require that Tenant be given no less than thirty (30)
days' notice in advance of any cancellation, non -renewal or material modification thereof. All of
Landlord's insurance shall be provided by companies having a Best rating of at least A- or better.
A renewal certificate evidencing any insurance required to be maintained by Landlord shall be
provided no later than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the policy.]
9. Damage or Destruction.
9.1 If the Building (including the Premises) is damaged or destroyed or
rendered partially or wholly untenantable for its accustomed use by fire or other casualty (such
an event hereinafter referred to as "Damage"), the Term of this Lease shall continue but all
Rent and other charges due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall abate from the first (1 st) day
of such Damage until such Damage shall have been repaired by Landlord, and further provided
that if within ninety (90) days after the date of such Damage, Landlord has not repaired such
Damage, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice
thereof to Landlord and an additional thirty (30) days after the expiration of such ninety (90) day
period to complete such repairs. In the event that Landlord restores the Building before Tenant
has terminated the Lease, Tenant shall accept possession of the Premises as so restored and resume
payment of Rent.
9.2 In the event that Landlord undertakes any restoration or repair of the Building
following any damage as described above, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
repair and restore the Building to a condition substantially the same, or better, than the condition
of the Building which existed immediately prior to such damage, at Landlord's expense. In
addition, in the event of such damage, Landlord shall take immediate action as may be reasonably
necessary to secure the damaged area(s) and protect against any further damage, injury or loss.
Landlord shall not be liable for any damage to or destruction of any personal property of Tenant
or any of the Eligible Subtenants. Landlord shall keep Tenant reasonably apprised of its restoration
schedule and shall provide Tenant with prior written notice at least sixty (60) ) days prior to the
anticipated delivery to Tenant of any restored areas of the Premises.
9.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Landlord shall be
obligated to restore all Damage to the Premises and the Building to the extent required to be
restored by Landlord, as ground lessee, pursuant to the Ground Lease.
10. Condemnation. In the event that any portion of the Building (including the Premises) is
taken by any public authority under power of eminent domain or is conveyed under threat of such
taking, at Tenant's option, the Term of this Lease shall terminate (regardless of any notice and
cure periods afforded to Landlord as set forth in this Lease) and all Rent, fees and other payments
due and payable hereunder by the Tenant shall abate from the date of such act of eminent domain
or conveyance in lieu thereof, or this Lease shall not terminate, but Rent and all other charges
payable hereunder shall abate from the date of such act of eminent domain or conveyance in lieu
thereof, pro-rata, based upon the square footage of the Premises so taken or reduced for the
remainder of the Term.
11. Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Tenant shall not be in breach of Tenant's obligations under
this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant shall be entitled to peaceful and quiet
12
enjoyment of the Premises, undisturbed by Landlord or any person or entity claiming possession
through or under Landlord, subject to the terms of this Lease.
12. Utilities.
12.1 Landlord shall, as part of the initial construction of the Premises, provide for two
sub -meters for the measuring of electricity for the Premises, allowing for service to separate
portions of the Premises.
12.2 Upon reasonable prior written notice to Tenant (of at least 72 hours, provided,
however, no prior notice shall be required to be given in the event of any Emergency as reasonably
determined by Landlord, but Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to promptly provide telephonic
notice as soon as practicable after undertaking any of the actions set forth in this Section 12),
Landlord shall have the right to temporarily suspend any one or more of the Utilities or other services
to the Premises (other than security services to the Building or the Premises) in order to perform
maintenance and/or repair and/or protect the Building, Premises, Tenant and/or Eligible
Subtenants from risk or harm or loss; provided however that in the event any Essential Services
(as hereinafter defined) are not fully restored by Landlord within twenty-four (24) hours of
such suspension, Rent shall abate until such time as all Essential Services (as hereinafter defined)
are fully restored.
12.3 As used in this Section 12, "Essential Services" shall be deemed to mean the
electricity, gas, heating, ventilating and air conditioning, water, sewer and elevator services (but
only in the event of a complete interruption of elevator services) servicing the Premises.
12.4 In the event of any Force Majeure event, which event temporarily suspends any
Essential Services or security services to the Premises, and which event was not caused in whole
or in part by the actions or omissions of Landlord, all Rent and other charges due from Tenant to
Landlord hereunder shall abate from the fourth (4th) date of such suspension until full restoration
of all such Essential Services or security services; and further provided that if within thirty (30)
days after the date of such suspension, Landlord has not obtained the restoration of such Essential
Services then Tenant shall have the right, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein
(including Section 5.2 above), to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice thereof to
Landlord prior to Landlord's completion of such restoration work.
12.5 Notwithstanding any provision herein, if any suspension or interruption of Utilities
or other services (including, without limitation, Essential Services and/or security services) arises
in whole or in part by the actions or omissions of Landlord or Landlord's property manager, all
Rent and other charges due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord with respect to the Premises so
effected shall automatically abate from the first (I") day of such suspension or interruption until
full restoration of such Utilities and/or other services, regardless of any notice and cure periods
afforded to Landlord in this Lease, and further provided that if such Utilities and services are not
fully restored to all affected portions of the Premises within five (5) days after the commencement
of such suspension or interruption, Tenant shall have the right, inter alia, to terminate this Lease,
effective immediately, as of the first day of such suspension, regardless of any notice and cure
periods afforded to Landlord in this Lease, and all Rent and other charges shall be pro -rated as of
the effective date of such termination on the basis of portions of the Premises so affected, or, at
13
Tenant's option, Tenant shall have the right but not the obligation to undertake to restore such
Utilities or other services serving the Premises and to offset the costs thereof, together with interest
at the Interest Rate from the date such costs are incurred by Tenant, against any payment of Rent
or other amounts due to Landlord hereunder.
13. Landlord's Entry. Neither Landlord nor any of Landlord's agents, contractors,
employees, licensees, invitees or other related parties shall (and none of the foregoing have any
right to) enter the Premises and/or any portion thereof (leased hereunder, or otherwise subleased
to any Eligible Subtenant under a Sublease) without prior written notice to Tenant (and where
possible, a schedule shall be provided to Tenant for entry approval). Tenant or a designated
employee or agent of Tenant must be present at all times to accompany Landlord or any of
Landlord's agents, contractors, employees, licensees, invitees or other related parties, including as
a result of an event or on -going routine maintenance or cleaning (except (i) in the event Landlord
is responding to a written request for work or repair submitted by Tenant or any Eligible Subtenant
and in each such case of entry, Landlord (or Landlord's agent) shall leave written notice detailing
the date and nature of work or repair undertaken by Landlord (or Landlord's agent); and (ii) in the
event of an Emergency as reasonably determined by Landlord, in which case Landlord shall notify
Tenant of such entry as soon as possible by telephone with a written notice promptly delivered
thereafter to Tenant, detailing the cause and nature of such entry). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Landlord shall not be permitted to unreasonably disturb any Eligible Subtenant's use and
enjoyment of the Premises.
14. Security. Upon receipt of a record of all Eligible Subtenants who have Tenant's
authorization to be residing in the Premises, and therefore, should be allowed access to the
Building (the "Subtenant List") from Tenant, Landlord shall be responsible for keeping such list,
as modified by Tenant from time to time. Either Landlord or Tenant may call the police, fire
department or paramedics for any situation it deems requires legal intervention or an emergency
response. Landlord shall maintain and operate the existing key card access and entry system (the
"Key Card System"), or any replacement key card system that the Landlord may from time to
time reasonably decide to adopt, for use by Tenant and the Eligible Subtenants for entrance into
the Building and the Premises. Landlord shall issue to Tenant key cards for use with the Key Card
System (the "Key Cards"); Tenant shall be responsible for issuing Key Cards directly to the
Eligible Subtenants and shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to return the Key Cards to
Landlord at such time as Tenant or an Eligible Subtenant no longer has the right to have access to
the Building as provided herein. The cost of all replacements for lost Key Cards (as opposed to
non-fimctioning Key Cards) shall be borne by Tenant. Landlord shall throughout the Term keep
the Key Card System in good working order and repair at Landlord's expense. To the extent
provided in this Lease, Tenant shall be responsible for the conduct of Tenant and the Eligible
Subtenants within the Premises, but Tenant shall expressly have no obligations with respect to the
safety and security of the Building, except to the extent that such security and safety are
compromised by any gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Tenant, at Tenant's option and at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, may elect to utilize its own key card access and entry system for the Premises, in which
case, Tenant shall issue a key card to Landlord for its use in connection with the exercise of
Landlord's rights and obligations under this Lease.
14
15. Modification of the Building. Tenant and Eligible Subtenants shall not construct,
demolish, or make any modification or cause any of the foregoing to be done to any part of the
Premises (individually and collectively, "Alterations") without the prior written consent of
Landlord which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, including
without limitation, in connection with Landlord's review and approval of Tenant's proposed plans
and specifications therefor.
16. Mechanic's Liens.
16.1 Tenant shall not permit mechanic's or other liens to be placed upon the Building,
the Premises or Tenant's leasehold interest in connection with any work or service performed or
purportedly performed for which Tenant shall have contracted. If a lien is so placed, Tenant shall,
within twenty (20) days of notice from Landlord of the filing of the lien, fully discharge the lien
by settling the claim that resulted in the lien or by bonding or insuring over the lien in the manner
prescribed by the applicable lien law unless the Building is being refinanced or sold (to any party
other than Tenant) and Landlord notifies Tenant in writing of such impending refinance or sale, in
which case, such twenty (20) day period shall be shortened to ten (10) days from the date Tenant
receives such notice from Landlord. If Tenant fails to discharge or bond or insure over the lien in
the manner prescribed by the applicable lien law within said period, then, in addition to any other
right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may bond or insure over the lien or otherwise discharge the
lien. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the actual and reasonable amount paid by Landlord to
bond or insure over the lien or discharge the lien, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees (if and to the extent permitted by law) as additional rent within thirty (30) days
after receipt of an invoice from Landlord.
16.2 In the event that Landlord consents to any construction by Tenant as provided by
Section 15 of the Lease, Tenant hereby acknowledge and agrees, and shall cause any contractor or
subcontractor of Tenant to acknowledge and agree, that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Laws and subject to Landlord recording a notice of no liens in the public records of the County in
which the Premises are located pursuant to Chapter 713, Florida Statutes, all mechanic's lien and
other lien rights of any contractor or subcontractor and other parties retained by or on behalf of
Tenant or such contractor or subcontractor shall be junior and subordinate to the lien(s) of all of
Landlord's lender or lenders, and to the interest of any and all subsequent purchasers of the Land
or the Building, or both. Tenant shall require all contractors and subcontractors, or other party
retained by any contractor or subcontractor to subordinate, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws, its lien rights as provided in the preceding sentence.
17. Non -liability of Landlord. Provided Landlord shall have satisfied its obligations set forth
herein, including but not limited to providing limited security to the Premises during the Term as
set forth in Section 14 above, and so long as Landlord shall not have performed or undertaken any
actions or omissions of willful misconduct or gross negligence, Landlord shall not be liable for
any damage to the property of Tenant, the Eligible Subtenants, their invitees or of others located
in the Building, nor for the loss of or damage to any property of Tenant, the Eligible Subtenants
or their invitees. All property of Tenant and the Eligible Subtenants kept or stored in the Building
shall be so kept or stored at the risk of Tenant and such Eligible Subtenants only, subject to
Landlord's obligation to provide security services for the Building and the Premises.
15
18. Tax Exempt Bond Compliance.
18.1 General Private Use Limits. As of the Effective Date, and all times thereafter
during the Lease Term (including any Extended Terms) but only so long as the Leased Premises
are subject to the lien of tax-exempt bonds (the "Bonds") and only as and to the extent required
by applicable Law, Tenant shall not assign or sublease any portion of the Leased Premises to
another party other than an Eligible Subtenant without Landlord's prior written consent as further
described above. The Leased Premises have been and will be used solely for activities directly
related to the exempt purposes of Tenant and the Eligible Subtenants. Tenant does not expect to
and shall not perform any act, enter into any agreement, or use or permit any portion of the Leased
Premises, to be used in any manner by an entity other than a state or local government or a
501(c)(3) organization (but only to the extent such organization is using the Leased Premises
exclusively in activities directly related to the exempt purposes of such organization), or for any
trade or business unrelated to the exempt purposes (as defined in Section 513(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code (the "Code")) of Tenant or such Eligible Subtenant. Thus, no portion of the Leased
Premises, in the aggregate, will be used for any "Private Use" as defined in this Section 18.1. For
purposes of this Lease, "Private Use" means (a) the conduct of any activity or activities
constituting a trade or business (or group of trades or businesses) carried on by any person or entity
other than Tenant, a state or local governmental unit or a 501(c)(3) organization or (b) any
unrelated trade or business (as defined in Section 513(a) of the Code) or any business not related
to the exempt purpose of Tenant, a state or local government or a 501(c)(3) organization. Private
Use shall also include, without limitation, Management Contracts (as defined below) entered into
with, and the lease or rental of the Leased Premises or any part thereof to, third parties that are not
organizations described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code using the Leased Premises in a manner
substantially related to their and Tenant's exempt purpose. The amount of Private Use is measured
over the remaining term of the Lease based on the portion of the total square footage of the Leased
Premises subject to the Private Use arrangement and the portion of time the Private Use takes place
as compared to the aggregate time the Leased Premises actually are used for all purposes. A lease
or rental of the Leased Premises that is not an unrelated trade or business activity is not a Private
Use if the term of such lease or rental is (i) not more than one hundred (100) days (including any
renewal options) if the compensation under the lease or other arrangement is determined, or
redetermined at the time of any renewal, at generally applicable, fair market value rates but use
pursuant to such leases is not reasonably available to natural Persons not engaged in a trade or
business, or (ii) not more than fifty (50) days (including any renewal options) if the compensation
under the lease or other arrangement is determined, or redetermined at the time of any renewal, in
a negotiated arm's length transaction and compensation under the lease is at fair market value.
18.2 Service Contracts. So long as the Leased Premises are subject to the lien of tax-
exempt Bonds, and only as and to the extent required by applicable Law, Tenant represents,
warrants and covenants that Tenant has not entered into, does not expect to and will not enter into
any agreement (a "Management Contract") with any Person (a "Management Company") that
provides for such Management Company to manage, operate or provide services with respect to
any portion of the Leased Premises unless such Management Contact satisfies the requirements
set forth in IRS Revenue Procedure 2017-13, as may be amended by the IRS after the date hereof
(an "Eligible Management Contract"). Such rules shall not apply to contracts for janitorial,
maintenance, machine repair, billing services, or other incidental services, so long as such
16
contracts are on commercially reasonable terms. Tenant shall have the right to enter into Eligible
Management Contracts without Landlord's consent.
18.3 Sectarian Use. So long as the Leased Premises are subject to the lien of tax-exempt
Bonds and only as and to the extent required by applicable law, Tenant has not and will not permit
any portion of the Leased Premises to be used primarily for sectarian instruction or study or as a
place of devotional activities or religious worship or as a facility used primarily in connection with
any part of a program of a school or department of divinity for any religious denomination or the
training of ministers, priests, rabbis or other similar Persons in the field of religion.
18.4 Ongoing Compliance. So long as the Leased Premises are subject to the lien of tax-
exempt Bonds and only as and to the extent required by applicable law, Tenant will promptly
respond to periodic requests for information by Landlord or its agents regarding the federal tax
status of Tenant and any actual or anticipated Private Use, including providing related
documentation to Landlord or its agents. Tenant will comply with reasonable requests to make
the Leased Premises available for a site visit by the IRS in connection with any examination of the
Bonds, which Bonds will be repaid from the rent collected by Landlord, subject to any notice
requirements applicable under the Lease.
18.5 Acknowledgement of Reliance. Tenant hereby acknowledges and understands that
Landlord will and is entitled to, rely on the representations made in this Section 18 in making their
own representations with respect to the Bonds and the use of the Leased Premises, and that
Landlord's counsel with respect to the Bonds will and are entitled to, rely on the representations
made in this Section 18, in rendering their respective opinions related to the Bonds.
18.6 Conflicts. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this
Section 18 and any other provisions of the Lease, the provisions of this Section 18 shall prevail.
19. Miscellaneous.
19.1 This Lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State
of Florida.
19.2 The captions of this Lease are for convenience only and are not to be construed as
part of this Lease and shall not be construed as defining or limiting in any way the scope or intent
of the provisions hereof. In the event any provision of this Lease is determined to be invalid or
unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed severed from the Lease and the remainder of the
Lease shall not be affected thereby.
19.3 This Lease represents the final and entire agreement between Tenant and Landlord
and supersedes all other communications, negotiations, representations and agreements by
Landlord and Tenant. This Lease may be amended only in writing signed by both Landlord and
Tenant.
19.4 In the event of a transfer of Landlord's interest in the Premises, if and to the extent
permitted pursuant to the Ground Lease, the transferee shall take subject to Tenant's interests in
this Lease and Tenant shall attorn to and recognize the transferee as Landlord under this Lease for
the balance of the Term provided such transferee shall assume Landlord's obligations hereunder
17
and recognize Tenant's rights hereunder, and thereafter, this Lease shall continue as a direct lease
between Tenant and such transferee. All of the covenants, agreements, conditions and undertakings
contained in this Lease shall extend and inure to and be binding upon the parties hereto and their
permitted successors and assigns.
19.5 This Lease may be signed in separate counterparts, all of which, when signed and
delivered, shall constitute the same document. Subject to Section 19.17 below, a party's signature
on this Lease transmitted by that party by facsimile copy (including without limitation, via email
transmission) shall be binding on such party.
19.6 To the maximum extent permitted by law, Landlord and Tenant agree that all
actions or proceedings arising in connection with this Lease shall be tried and determined only in
the State and Federal courts located in the County of Miami -Dade, State of Florida. To the
maximum extent permitted by law Landlord and Tenant hereby expressly waive any right it may
have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or to object to venue to the extent any
proceeding is brought in accordance with this Section 19.6.
19.7 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LANDLORD AND
TENANT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY
ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, DEMAND, OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER
OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS LEASE AND/OR THE PREMISES, OR IN ANY
WAY CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS
OF LANDLORD AND TENANT WITH RESPECT TO THIS LEASE, IN EACH CASE
WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER
SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW, LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY AGREE THAT ANY SUCH
ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, DEMAND OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE
DECIDED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT LANDLORD AND
TENANT, OR BOTH, MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS LEASE WITH ANY COURT OR OTHER
TRIBUNAL AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF LANDLORD AND
TENANT TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
19.8 Landlord and Tenant represent and warrant to the other that neither of them has had
any dealings with any broker or agent in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
Landlord and Tenant covenant to pay, hold harmless and indemnify the other from and against any
and all costs, expenses or liability for any compensation, commissions and charges claimed by any
broker or agent, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the negotiation thereof
and arising by virtue of the acts of the indemnifying party.
19.9 In the event that Tenant or any Eligible Subtenant or any licensee, user or other
occupant claiming possession by or through Tenant or any Eligible Subtenant remains in
possession or occupancy for a period of more than two (2) business days after the date the Premises
(or any portion thereof) are to be surrendered to Landlord as required hereunder, such continued
occupancy or possession shall not be deemed a holdover by Tenant with respect to the entire
Premises leased herein, but shall be deemed a tenancy at sufferance on the same terms and
conditions, but in lieu of Rent otherwise due and payable in the amount set forth herein, Tenant
shall pay Rent on a per diem basis (using a thirty (30) day month) for the Premises, calculated
m
using a monthly rate equal to 150% of the then -current Monthly Rent. For avoidance of doubt,
the parties further agree that during any such tenancy created by the provisions of this Section
19.9, Rent will be due and payable on the entire Premises notwithstanding the fact that such
continued occupancy or possession affects less than all of the Premises. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in no event shall Tenant be liable for any consequential, punitive, indirect, special or
non -economic damages as a result of any such holdover at the Premises, and the increased Rent
amounts set forth in this Section 19.9 shall be deemed liquidated damages for Landlord, and
Landlord's sole remedy in lieu of all others.
19.10 Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that, as of the date Tenant is entitled to
obtain possession of any portion of the Premises, and thereafter, throughout the Term, any
"Hazardous Material" (as defined below) located in the Building and not caused by any act or
omission of Tenant or any officer, agent, employee, guest or invitee of Tenant shall be managed
in accordance with all applicable Laws. Landlord and Tenant agree that neither party shall
transport, use, store, maintain, generate, manufacture, handle, dispose, release or discharge any
Hazardous Material upon or about the Building, or permit any employees, agents, contractors,
invitees of Tenant, or other Eligible Subtenants of the Premises, to engage in such activities upon
or about the Building, except in accordance with applicable Laws. The term "Hazardous
Material" for purposes hereof shall mean any chemical, substance, material or waste or
component thereof which is now or hereafter listed, defined or regulated as a hazardous or toxic
chemical, substance, material or waste or component thereof by any federal, state or local
governing or regulatory body having jurisdiction, or which would trigger any employee or
community "right -to -know" requirements adopted by any such body. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the parties agree that the use of customary consumer cleaning products, and computer
and office supplies by Landlord, Tenant or any Eligible Subtenant in non -reportable quantities
shall not be deemed "Hazardous Materials" for the purposes of this Section 19.10. Landlord
represents and warrants that to its actual knowledge, there are no Hazardous Materials at, in, about
or under the Building in violation of applicable Laws.
19.11 The failure of Landlord or Tenant to insist on strict compliance with any terms
hereof or to exercise any right or remedy shall not waive such terms or rights or remedies.
Waiver of any agreement regarding any breach by Landlord or Tenant shall not affect any
subsequent or other breach by such party unless so stated. No waiver by Landlord or Tenant of
any violation or provision of this Lease shall be effective unless expressed in writing and signed
by the party so waiving such violation or provision.
19.12 In the event of the sale or other transfer of Landlord's right, title and interest in this
Lease, the Premises, or the Building (except in the case of a sale -leaseback financing transaction
in which Landlord is the lessee), upon the express written assumption of this Lease by the
transferee, Landlord shall be released from all liability and obligations hereunder derived from this
Lease arising out of any act, occurrence or omission relating to the Premises or this Lease occurring
after the consummation of such sale or transfer. Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease
or to abate Rent nor to deduct from, nor setoff, nor counterclaim against Rent solely because of
any sale or transfer (including, without limitation, any sale -leaseback) by Landlord or its
successors or assigns.
19
19.13 Any obligations of Landlord and Tenant accruing prior to the expiration of Term
of this Lease shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, and Landlord and
Tenant shall promptly perform all such obligations whether or not any Terms of this Lease shall
have expired or this Lease has been terminated.
19.14 Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed by the parties to this
Lease, or by any third party, to create the relationship of principal and agent, partnership, joint
venture, or any association between Landlord and Tenant, it being expressly understood and agreed
that neither the method of computation of rent nor any other provisions contained in this Lease nor
any acts of the parties to this Lease shall be deemed to create any relationship between Landlord
and Tenant other than the relationship of landlord and tenant.
19.15 Landlord and Tenant have jointly participated in the drafting of this Lease.
Accordingly, this Lease shall be construed neither for nor against Landlord or Tenant
notwithstanding the party which drafted same, but shall be given a fair and reasonable
interpretation in accordance with the meaning of its terms and the intent of the parties.
19.16 Except as expressly provided herein, each covenant, agreement, obligation or other
provision of this Lease to be performed by Landlord or Tenant (including, but not limited to,
Tenant's obligation to pay Rent) is a separate and independent covenant of such party, and is not
dependent on any other provision of this Lease.
19.17 Tenant represents and warrants as of the Effective Date that this Lease has been
duly authorized, executed and delivered by and on behalf of Tenant and constitutes the valid and
binding agreement of Tenant in accordance with its terms. Landlord represents and warrants that
this Lease has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by and on behalf of Landlord and
constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Landlord in accordance with its terms, and that no
third party consents to the terms and conditions of this Lease are required to be obtained by
Landlord prior to the validity, effectiveness or enforceability of this Lease (or if such consents are
required, Landlord has obtained all of same, without reservation or condition). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Parties acknowledge and agree that this Lease shall
not be binding upon Tenant and the Effective Date shall not be deemed to have occurred until the
City Commission has approved the execution and delivery of this Lease by the Tenant.
19.18 As used herein, the term "business day" shall mean any day other than a Saturday,
Sunday, any federal or State of Florida authorized holiday.
19.19 Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the Effective Date:
(a) The execution and delivery of this Lease is not in violation of any law,
ordinance, agreement, provision or encumbrance to which Landlord, the Premises, the Building,
the Land or the Common Areas is or may be subject.
(b) Upon completion, the Land and the Building will be and will remain in
compliance with all Laws (including Laws relating to the Hazardous Materials). Landlord has not
received any notice of non-compliance by the Land for its intended use as dormitories, related
facilities and/or residential facilities and, with respect to the Premises, for governmental,
performing arts and/or cultural purposes.
Q17
(c) Landlord agrees that if it is determined that the ownership of the Building
must be held in separate condominium units in order to obtain various tax benefits including,
without limitation, exemption from ad valorem taxation for the Premises, Landlord shall create
