Gabriella.doc (iv) CITY OF MIAMi BEACH MIAMI BEACH REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY ITEM SUMMARY m Condensed Title: A Resolution consenting to a Lease Agreement between the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency and ArtConnection International, Inc., for Suite #6 in the Anchor Shops, located at 100 16th Street, Miami Beach, Florida retroactively commencin on November 8, 2004 Date sub'ect to chan e . Issue: Shall the RDA approve the Lease Agreement with ArtConnection International, Inc? Item Summary/Recommendation: ArtConnection Swiss Design, L.C., became a tenant at the Anchor Shops on July 26,2000, executing a 15-year lease for a 721 square foot space located on 16th Street, at a rate of $21,630 ($30/sq.ft) per year. ArtConnection (Tenant) was the creation of a husband-wife team, Mario and Gabriella Provenzano, selling custom designed jewelry from Switzerland and other small European gift items. In June, 2004, the RDA became aware that the Provenzanos had separated and were pursuing a divorce. On July 7,2004, the RDA and MBCDC met with Mario Provenzano to address overdue rent, disposition of the lease and possible exit options. Shortly after this meeting, Mario Provenzano returned to Switzerland and has not been in contact since. During this time, the store was vacated and no further rent payments have been received, prompting the RDA to file for an eviction on grounds of abandonment and breach of contract. A final judgment of default and writ-of-possession in favor of the RDA was anticipated by no later than October 29, 2004. Shortly prior to initiating the eviction process, Gabriella Provenzano expressed her desire to remain in the space and operate the store. The issue however was that only Mario Provenzano's name was on the lease and corporate records, precluding her from being able to operate independently from her husband. Gabriella Provenzano was advised to contact her husband to assign the lease to her name, which apparently he was unwilling to do. Consequently, Gabriella Provenzano established a separate corporation under her own name called ArtConnection International, Inc., in the hope of occupying the space upon conclusion of the eviction process and a favorable ruling by the Court. Despite the complications arising out of the divorce, Gabriella Provenzano has always strived to maintain a good working relationship with MBCDC and the RDA. She has committed to resuming the business on her own and paying rent on a timely basis. Additionally, since the interior finishes and furnishings remain intact in the space, no build-out period is required, allowing Art Connection to do business upon moving in. Furthermore, in allowing Art Connection to occupy the space, the RDA will not have to incur further loss of revenue and will not have to incur the cost of brokerage fees in attempting to secure a new tenant for the space. As such, the Administration recommends executing a new lease agreement with ArtConnection International, Inc.

Subject: RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution. ANALYSIS: ArtConnection Swiss Design, L.C., became a tenant at the Anchor Shops on July 26,2000, executing a 15-year lease for a 721 square foot space located on 16th Street, at a rate of $21,630 ($30/sq.ft) per year. ArtConnection (Tenant) was the creation of a husband-wife team, Mario and Gabriella Provenzano, selling custom designed jewelry from Switzerland and other small European gift items. In late September, 2004, the RDA initiated eviction proceedings against the Tenant for repeated incidents of non-payment of rent. The Tenant started experiencing problems with rent payments in May, 2003, requiring extensive noticing and follow-up on behalf of Miami Beach Development Corporation (MBCDC/Property Manager). In October, 2003, the RDA and the ArtConnection executed a Letter Agreement, providing forthe Tenant to remit five months of back-due rent in 12 equal monthly payments, together with regularly scheduled rent payments, commencing on December 1,2003. In May and June, 2004, the Tenant again failed to remit rent. At this time the RDA became aware that the Provenzanos had separated and were pursuing a divorce. On July 2,2004, a wire transfer was received from the Tenant, covering all but $529 of the overdue rent. On July 7, 2004, the RDA and MBCDC met with Mario Provenzano to address overdue rent, disposition of the lease and possible exit options. Shortly after this meeting, Mario Provenzano returned to Switzerland and has not been in contact since. During this time, the store was vacated and no further rent payments have been received, prompting the RDA to file for an eviction on grounds of abandonment and breach of contract. A final judgment of default and writ-of-possession in favor of the RDA was anticipated by no later than October 29, 2004. A complete chronology of events leading up to the eviction is included with this memorandum. November 10, 2004 Redevelopment Agency Memorandum Art Connection Lease Page 2 of 2 Shortly prior to initiating the eviction process, Gabriella Provenzano expressed her desire to remain in the space and operate the store, The issue however was that only Mario Provenzano's name was on the lease and corporate records, precluding her from being able to operate independently from her husband. Gabriella Provenzano was advised to contact her husband to assign the lease to her name, which apparently he was unwilling to do. Consequently, Gabriella Provenzano established a separate corporation under her own name called ArtConnection International, Inc., in the hope of occupying the space upon conclusion of the eviction process and a favorable ruling by the Court. Despite the complications arising out of the divorce, Gabriella Provenzano has always strived to maintain a good working relationship with MBCDC and the RDA. She has committed to resuming the business on her own and paying rent on a timely basis. Additionally, since the interior finishes and furnishings remain intact in the space, no build- out period is required, allowing Art Connection to do business upon moving in. Furthermore, in allowing Art Connection to occupy the space, the RDA will not have to incur further loss of revenue and will not have to incur the cost of brokerage fees in attempting to secure a new tenant for the space. As such, the Administration recommends executing a new lease agreement with ArtConnection International, Inc., for a term of approximately eleven (11) years, (the equivalent amount of time remaining under the former lease). It should be noted that since February, 2002, the former tenant's rent payments had been reduced by 25%, as a goodwill gesture by the RDA to address a number of prevailing adverse conditions, including the lingering effects of 9/11 and a series of streetscape improvements along 16th Street, resulting in unannounced street closures and loss of pedestrian traffic. The discounted rent which was also extended to Adolfo Dominguez, was only to last for eight months. With the approval of the RDA, it remained in effect until the termination of the lease. Under the new lease agreement, Gabriella Provenzano has agreed to remit the full base rent of $21 ,630 per year or $30 per square foot. The Lease also provides for an annual CPI adjustment not to exceed 3%. A copy of the Lease Summary is included with this memorandum.

For purposes of this Lease, "Transfer" means an assignment of this Lease in whole or in part; a sublease of all or any part of the Premises; any transaction whereby the rights of Tenant under this Lease or to the Premises are transferred to another; any mortgage or encumbrance of this Lease or the Premises or any part thereof or other arrangement under which either this Lease or the Premises become security for any indebtedness or other obligations; and if Tenant is a corporation or a partnership, the transfer of a controlling interest in the stock of the corporation or partnership interests, as applicable. If there is a permitted Transfer, Landlord may collect rent or other payments from the transferee and apply the net amount collected to the rent or other payments required to be paid pursuant to this Lease but no acceptance by Landlord of any payments by a transferee shall be deemed a waiver of any provisions hereof regarding Tenant. Notwithstanding any Transfer, Tenant shall not be released from any of its obligations under this Lease. Landlord's consent to any Transfer shall be subject to the further condition that if the Minimum Rent and additional rent pursuant to such Transfer exceeds the Minimum Rent and additional rent payable under this Lease, the amount of such excess shall be paid to Landlord. If, pursuant to a permitted Transfer, Tenant receives from the transferee, either directly or indirectly, any consideration other than Minimum Rent and additional rent for such Transfer, either in the form of cash, goods, or services, Tenant shall, upon receipt thereof, pay to Landlord an amount equivalent to such consideration. ARTICLE IX. DEFAULT. 9.1 Defaults. A default by Tenant shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder, if and whenever: (i) any Minimum Rent is not paid when due whether or not any notice or demand for payment has been made by Landlord; (ii) any other additional rent is in arrears and is not paid within five (5) days after written demand by Landlord; (iii) Tenant has breached any of its obligations in this Lease (other than the payment of rent) and Tenant fails to remedy such breach within thirty (30) days (or such shorter period as may be provided in this Lease), or if such breach cannot reasonably be remedied within thirty (30) days (or such shorter period), then if Tenant fails to immediately commence to remedy and thereafter proceed diligently to remedy such breach, in each case after 10 notice in writing from Landlord; (iv) Tenant becomes bankrupt or insolvent; (v) any of Landlord's policies of insurance with respect to the Retail Space are canceled or adversely changed as a result of Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises; or (vi) the business operated by Tenant in the Premises shall be closed by governmental or court order for any reason. 9.2 Remedies. In the event of any default hereunder by Tenant, then without prejudice to any other rights which it has pursuant to this Lease or at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies, which are cumulative and not alternative: (A) Landlord may cancel this Lease by notice to Tenant and retake possession of the Premises for Landlord's account, or may terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease. In either event, Tenant shall then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord. If Landlord terminates Tenant's right to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease, Tenant's liability under all of the provisions of this Lease shall continue notwithstanding any expiration and surrender, or any re-entry, repossession, or disposition hereunder. (8) Landlord may enter the Premises as agent of Tenant to take possession of any property of Tenant on the Premises, to store such property at the expense and risk of Tenant or to sell or otherwise dispose of such property in such manner as Landlord may see fit without notice to Tenant. Re-entry and removal may be effectuated by summary dispossess proceedings, by any suitable action or proceeding, or otherwise. Landlord shall not be liable in any way in connection with its actions pursuant to this section, to the extent that its actions are in accordance with law. (C) If Landlord terminates Tenant's right to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease under subsection (A) above, Tenant shall remain liable (in addition to accrued liabilities) to the extent legally permissible for all rent and all of the charges Tenant would have been required to pay until the date this Lease would have expired had such cancellation not occurred. Tenant's liability for rent shall continue notwithstanding re-entry or repossession of the Premises by Landlord. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall pay to Landlord such sums as the court which has jurisdiction thereover may adjudge as reasonable attorneys' fees with respect to any successful lawsuit or action instituted by Landlord to enforce the provisions of this Lease. (D) Landlord may relet all or any part of the Premises for all or any part of the unexpired portion of the Term of this Lease or for any longer period, and may accept any rent then attainable; grant any concessions of rent, and agree to paint or make any special repairs, alterations, and decorations for any new tenant as it may deem advisable in its sole and absolute discretion. Landlord shall be under no obligation to relet or to attempt to relet the Premises, except as expressly set forth below. (E) If Landlord terminates Tenant's right to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease under subsection (A) above, and Landlord so elects, the rent hereunder shall be accelerated and Tenant shall pay Landlord damages in the amount of any and all sums which would have been due for the remainder of the Term (reduced to present value using a discount factor equal to the stated prime lending rate on the date of Tenant's default by Landlord's then existing mortgagee or, if there is no mortgagee, by Citibank, N.A., New York). Prior to or following payment in full by Tenant of such discounted sum promptly upon demand, Landlord shall use good faith efforts to relet the Premises. If Landlord receives consideration as a result of a reletting of the Premises relating to the same time period for which Tenant has paid accelerated rent, such consideration actually received by Landlord, less any and all of Landlord's cost of repairs, alterations, additions, redecorating, and other expenses in connection with such reletting of the Premises, shall be a credit against such discounted sum, and such discounted sum shall be reduced if not yet paid by Tenant as called for herein, or if Tenant has paid such discounted sum, such credited amount shall be repaid to Tenant by Landlord (provided said credit shall not exceed the accelerated amount). (F) Landlord may remedy or attempt to remedy any default of Tenant under this Lease for the account of Tenant and to enter upon the Premises for such purposes. No notice of Landlord's intention to perform such covenants need be given Tenant unless expressly required by this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage caused by the reasonable acts of Landlord in remedying or attempting to remedy such default and Tenant shall pay to Landlord all expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with remedying or 11 attempting to remedy such default. Any expenses incurred by Landlord shall accrue interest from the date of payment by Landlord until repaid by Tenant at the highest rate permitted by law. 9.3 Costs. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand all costs incurred by Landlord, including attorneys' fees and costs at all tribunal levels, incurred by Landlord in enforcing any of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. In addition, upon any default by Tenant, Tenant shall be also liable to Landlord for the expenses to which Landlord may be put in re-entering the Premises; repossessing the Premises; painting, altering, or dividing the Premises; combining the Premises with an adjacent space for any new tenant; putting the Premises in proper repair; protecting and preserving the Premises by placing watchmen and caretakers therein; reletting the Premises (including attorneys' fees and disbursements, marshall's fees, and brokerage fees, in so doing); and any other expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord. 9.4 Additional Remedies: Waiver. The rights and remedies of Landlord set forth herein shall be in addition to any other right and remedy now and hereinafter provided by law. All rights and remedies shall be cumulative and non-exclusive of each other. No delay or omission by Landlord in exercising a right or remedy shall exhaust or impair the same or constitute a waiver of, or acquiescence to, a default. 9.5 Default by Landlord. In the event of any default by Landlord, Tenant's exclusive remedy shall be an action for damages or injunction, but prior to any such action Tenant will give Landlord written notice specifying such default with particularity, and Landlord shall have a period of thirty (30) days following the date of such notice in which to cure such default (provided, however, that if such default reasonably requires more than thirty (30) days to cure, Landlord shall have a reasonable time to cure such default, provided Landlord commences to cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion). Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease, Landlord shall not at any time have any personal liability under this Lease. In the event of any breach or default by Landlord of any term or provision of this Lease, Tenant agrees to look solely to the equity or interest then-owned by Landlord in the Retail Space, and in no event shall any deficiency judgment be sought or obtained against Landlord. It is expressly understood that the obligations of Landlord under this Lease are solely corporate obligations, and that, except for conversion, fraud, or willful misconduct, no personal liability will attach to, or is or shall be incurred by, the incorporators, stockholders, officers, directors, or employees, as such, of the Landlord, or of any successor corporation, or any of them, under or by reason of the obligations, covenants, or agreements of Landlord contained in this Lease or implied therefrom; and, except for conversion, fraud, or willful misconduct, that 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, director, or employee, as such, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Lease or implied therefrom are expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Lease.
