upon the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth.
1.02 TITLE INSURANCE COMMITMENT. Within thirty (30) days after this Ground
Lease is signed by the Tenant and Landlord, the Landlord will provide to Tenant
a boundary survey (certified to Landlord and Tenant) and preliminary leasehold
title insurance commitment for an insured amount of Four Million ($4,000,000.00)
Dollars insuring legal access and fee simple title to the Property, and subject
to this Ground Lease and the Approved Title Exceptions described in Exhibit "B"
attached and incorporated as a part hereof. If the survey shows that the
Property is subject to any encumbrance, encroachment or projection, not
disclosed in the Approved Title Exceptions, the Tenant may treat such fact or
matter as a title defect.
1.03 TITLE OBJECTIONS. The Tenant will have fifteen (15) days after receipt
of the survey and commitment within which to provide to Landlord a letter
setting forth all the Tenant's objections, other than the Approved Title
Exceptions, to the leasehold title insurance commitment. Landlord has thirty
(30) days after receipt of such letter to correct the defect(s) in access, or
title, or both, objected to by the Tenant. If the Landlord is unwilling or
unable to correct such defect(s), in its sole discretion, within such thirty
(30) day period, the Tenant will have the option for ten (10) days thereafter to
give Landlord written notice that (i) Tenant waives such defect(s) for all
purposes of this Ground Lease, and without reduction of the rent; or (ii) Tenant
terminates this Ground Lease, without any claim for damages. If Tenant does not
give Landlord written notice within that ten (10) days, Tenant waives such
defect(s), for all purposes of this Ground Lease, and without a reduction of the

title insurance policy, engineering studies and reports, soil reports, maps,
plats, and other documents and materials which the Tenant reasonably requests,
or which are reasonably necessary in order to satisfy any of the Tenant's
reasonable requests that are in the possession or control of the Landlord. If
the Tenant does not terminate this Ground Lease on or before expiration of the
Inspection Period, then the Property shall be conclusively deemed approved by
the Tenant and this Ground Lease will be deemed to be in full force and effect.

liabilities (including, but not limited to, personal injury or property damage
claims, construction or other liens) including reasonable attorney's fees caused
by or occurring in connection with the Tenant's entry upon the Property and/or
physical inspection of the Property. If the Tenant or anyone acting under its
instructions makes any tests on the Property, the Tenant shall, insofar as is
practicable, return the Property to its former condition after said tests are
completed so as not to create any unnecessary hazards for persons passing over
the Property. If the Tenant elects to terminate this Agreement, then it shall
deliver to the Landlord copies of all inspection reports and studies obtained by

not limited to copies of contracts, invoices and the likes relative to any costs
incurred by the Landlord to directly develop and improve the Property.

services that can be used by Tenant for its intended use of the Property. When
the Tenant commences vertical construction (i.e., any portion of a building
constructed above the slab for that building) of the first building on the
Property, the Tenant will reimburse the Landlord for said costs.

written notice to the Landlord. If the Tenant fails to procure such insurance or
keep the same in full force and effect as aforesaid, same shall constitute a
default hereunder.

CONDEMNATION
8.01 TAKING OF PREMISES.
A. If, by or through condemnation proceedings, (i.e., a taking under
the power of eminent domain or a sale under a threat of condemnation), more than
fifteen (15%) percent of the Property or any buildings built thereon is
permanently taken or access to and from the Property from and to either N.W.
000xx Xxxxxx xx X.X. 00xx Xxxxxx is taken or ten (10%) percent or more of the
parking area of the Property is taken or if any portion of the common area of

upon giving the Landlord written notice thereof within thirty (30) days from the
entry of an appropriate order of taking in such condemnation proceeding.
B. If a portion of the Property or any buildings built thereon is
taken under circumstances that do not give the Tenant the option to terminate as
set forth above or, having such option to terminate, the Tenant elects not to
terminate, the Rent payable hereunder shall be reduced annually by an amount
equal to nine (9%) percent of the amount received by the Landlord (or its
mortgage holder) as a result of such condemnation proceeding.
C. If a portion of the Premises is taken under circumstances that do

necessary to restore the same to a complete architectural unit (to the extent
permitted, however, taking into consideration the amount of land remaining after
any such taking or purchase).

confer upon the Tenant the right to terminate this Ground Lease be so taken in
such proceedings, and if the remaining Property can be substantially restored so
that the Tenant in its opinion can conduct the business it is then operating
upon said Property on a reasonably profitable basis, this Ground Lease shall not
terminate, but shall continue with a reduction in the rental equal to nine (9%)

improvements built on the Property for the Term and in either event the Landlord
was the intended recipient of the Rent, without reduction, for the Term, without
reduction, and the unencumbered fee simple interest thereafter. Tenant shall be
entitled to any and all awards or payments made in the condemnation proceedings
with respect to any damage to: (i) the Tenants's leasehold estate; (ii) any

primarily liable under this Ground Lease notwithstanding any such subleasing.
The Tenant shall have the absolute right, without the prior consent of the
Landlord, to assign this Ground Lease in whole or in part, provided, however,

LIENS OR ENCUMBRANCES
10.01 LIENS; ENCUMBRANCES.
A. The Tenant shall not encumber the Landlord's fee simple
interest in the Premises with mortgages or otherwise, including liens for
improvements made by the Tenant. Any consents the Landlord gives to the Tenant
to allow the Tenant to construct building improvements on the Premises or to
make any alterations or additions thereto shall not be deemed improvements
required by an agreement between the Landlord and the Tenant, within the meaning
of the Florida Construction Lien Law. All contractors, subcontractors,
mechanics, laborers, materialmen and others who perform any work, labor or
services, or furnish any materials or otherwise participate in any improvements
to the Premises, and who are not acting pursuant to a direct contract with the
Landlord, are hereby given notice that the Tenant is not authorized to subject
the Landlord's interest in the Premises to any claim for construction, laborers,
materialmen's liens, or other liens, and all persons dealing directly or
indirectly with the Tenant may not look to the Premises as security for payment.
Pursuant to FLORIDA STATUTE Section 713.10, the interest of the Landlord in the
Premises as owner of the Premises shall not be subject to liens for improvements
made by the Tenant.
B. If any construction or other liens shall be filed against the
Premises or any improvements thereon by reason of or arising out of any labor or
material furnished or alleged to have been furnished or to be furnished to or
for the Tenant at the Premises or by reason of any charges, alterations, or
additions or costs or expenses thereof, or any contract relating thereto, the
Tenant shall within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of the filing
thereof, either pay or bond the same or procure the discharge thereof in such
manner as may be provided by law. The Tenant at its sole cost and expense, shall
also defend on behalf of the Landlord any action, suit or proceedings which may
be brought for the enforcement of such lien or liens, and the Tenant shall pay
any damage and discharge any judgment entered thereon, and save harmless the
Landlord from any claim or damage resulting therefrom. If the Tenant shall fail
to cause such lien to be discharged within the period aforesaid, then, in
addition to other right or remedy, the Landlord may, but shall not be obligated
to, discharge the same either by paying the amount claimed to be due or by
procuring the discharge of such lien by deposit or by bonding proceedings. Any
amount so paid by the Landlord and all costs and expenses incurred by the
Landlord in connection therewith, together with the
- 9 -
interest thereon at four (4%) percent per annum over and above the "prime rate"
announced from time to time by THE WALL STREET JOURNAL as its "prime rate", from
the respective dates of the Landlord's making of the payment or incurring of the
cost and expense shall constitute additional rent payable by the Tenant under
this Ground Lease and shall be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord on demand.
ARTICLE XI
LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO CONVEY
11.01 CONVEYANCE OF FEE. The Landlord shall have the right at all times to
sell the Premises, subject to all the terms, covenants and conditions of this
Ground Lease. Upon the sale of the Premises, the Landlord shall be relieved from
the Landlord's obligations under this Ground Lease from and after the date such
sale is consummated.
11.02 ATTORNMENT. No provision of this Ground Lease shall preclude
Landlord from placing Landlord's Liens on Landlord's interest in the Property or
amending such Landlord's Liens, provided that any grant of a Landlord's Lien by
Landlord shall encumber only Landlord's fee interest and shall not purport to
encumber Tenant's leasehold interest. So long as the Ground Lease is in full
force and effect, Tenant agrees, upon request of Landlord, to furnish to
Landlord a certificate in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and the
holder of any Landlord's Lien that confirms (i) Tenant is bound under all of the
terms and provisions of the Ground Lease; (ii) in the event the holder of any
Landlord's Lien or foreclosure purchaser (hereinafter, a "Fee Acquiring Party")
shall acquire fee title to the Premises, Tenant will attorn to the Fee Acquiring
Party; and (iii) there is no default of Landlord under the Ground Lease as of
the date prior to the date of certificate other than defaults stated with
specificity in the certificate. In such event, such Fee Acquiring Party shall be
entitled to all of the rights of Landlord under the Ground Lease as though the
interest of Landlord had not been terminated or such foreclosure proceedings had
not been instituted; Tenant shall have the same rights and remedies against the
Fee Acquiring Party that Tenant might have had under the Ground Lease against
Landlord if the Fee Acquiring Party had not succeeded to the interest of
Landlord, subject to the waiver of defaults not stated in the certificate
described above. Such attornment by the Tenant to the Fee Acquiring Party or any
successor thereof shall be effective and self-operative without the execution of
any further instruments by any party hereto; provided, however, that the Tenant
will, upon request execute a written agreement attorning to such Fee Acquiring
Party, affirming the Tenant's obligations under the Lease. In the event that the
Fee Acquiring Party succeeds to the interest of the Landlord under the Lease, or
title to the Premises, then such Fee Acquiring Party and any successor thereof
shall assume and be bound by the obligations of the Landlord under the Lease
which accrue from and after such party's succession to the Landlord's interest
in the Property, but such party shall not be: (i) liable for any act or omission
of any prior landlord (including the Landlord); (ii) liable for the retention,
application or return of any security deposit to the extent not paid over to
such party; (iii) subject to any offsets or defenses which the Tenant might have
against any prior landlord (including the Landlord); (iv) bound by any rent or
additional rent which the Tenant might have paid for more than the current month
to any prior landlord (including the Landlord); (v) bound by any amendment or
modification of the Lease made without such party's prior written consent; or
(vi) obligated to cure any defaults of any prior landlord under the Lease which
occurred prior to the date on which such party succeeded to the Landlord's
interest under the Lease. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to waive any
of the Tenant's rights and remedies against any prior landlord.
11.03 TENANT'S CERTIFICATES. The Tenant agrees that it will, within thirty
(30) days after request therefor, sign estoppel letters indicating the then
standing of the Ground Lease.
11.04 LANDLORD'S ASSIGNMENT. The Landlord may assign the Landlord's
interest in this Ground Lease, together with the rents, issues and profits due
and to become due thereunder, and the Tenant upon receipt of notice of such
assignment, will attorn to such assignee.
ARTICLE XII

A. The Tenant's failure to pay Rent or ad valorem taxes
attributable to the Property when due where such failure continues for a period
of ten (10) days after the Tenant receives written notice thereof from the
Landlord;
B. The Tenant's failure to pay any other sum covenanted to be
paid by the Tenant hereunder other than Rent or ad valorem taxes attributable to
the Property within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Tenant of

C. The Tenant's failure to perform or comply with any of the
other terms, provisions and covenants of this Ground Lease within forty-eight
(48) hours if the failure to perform or comply causes an emergency situation or

otherwise within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Tenant of
written notice of such non-performance from the Landlord; or as to any
non-performance not curable by reasonable effort within the thirty (30) calendar
day period, failure to institute appropriate action to cure such non-performance
within the thirty (30) calendar day period and thereafter to prosecute such
action with due diligence and continuity; or
D. A general assignment for the benefit of the Tenant's creditors
or the filing of a voluntary petition by the Tenant in bankruptcy, or the entry
of a decree involuntarily adjudicating the Tenant a bankrupt (and such
involuntary decree is not dissolved within sixty [60] days), or an admission by
the Tenant in writing of its insolvency or inability to pay its debts; or if the
leasehold interest under this Ground Lease be taken by operation of law.
12.02 LANDLORD'S RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT.
A. Upon a Default the Landlord may, at its option, and in
addition to such other rights and remedies as the Landlord may have at law or in
equity, at any time after such occurrence:
(i) terminate this Ground Lease by written notice to the
Tenant, whereupon this Ground Lease shall end, provided that such termination of
this Ground Lease shall not relieve the Tenant of its liabilities and
obligations under this Ground Lease; or
(ii) elect to declare the entire Net Minimum Rent for the
balance of the term immediately due and payable in which event Tenant shall be
liable for the difference between the present value of all such Net Minimum Rent
less the present value of the fair rental value of the Premises for the balance
of the term, all reduced to present value at the rate of twelve (12%) percent
per annum; or
(iii) as the Tenant's agent, without terminating this Ground
Lease, enter upon and rent the Premises at the best price obtainable by
reasonable effort, with or without advertisement, and by private negotiation,
for any term the Landlord deems proper; and the Tenant shall remain liable to
the Landlord for the deficiency, if any, between the rental and other sums
payable by the Tenant hereunder and the rent obtained by the Landlord on
reletting, after deducting any attorneys' fees, commissions and other expenses
paid by the Landlord with respect to such reletting. The Landlord shall in no
way be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Premises or any part
thereof or for any failure to collect any rent due upon such reletting; or
(iv) to re-enter and remove all persons and property from the
Premises in accordance with Florida law, and such property may be removed and
disposed of or stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for
the account of the Tenant, and without being deemed guilty of trespass, or
becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Ground Lease, the
Landlord shall not re-enter or retake possession of the Premises except pursuant
to all lawful process. Any valuables, personalty or other property of the
Tenant's clients, customers or beneficiaries who have subtenant rights pursuant
to Section 9.02 above shall not be deemed to be the property of the Tenant under
the Ground Lease, and the Landlord shall have no claims, rights, liens or
interests therein.
B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no termination of this Ground
Lease or summary proceedings, abandonment or vacancy shall relieve the Tenant of
its liability and obligation under this Ground Lease, whether or not the
Premises shall be relet. Nothing contained herein shall
- 11 -
limit the Landlord's right to exercise any or all other rights or remedies
available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the right to
restraining orders, injunctions, decrees of specific performance, and to have a
receiver appointed to take possession of the Premises. No delay or omission of
the Landlord to exercise any right, power or remedy arising from any omission,
neglect or default of the Tenant shall impair any such right, power or remedy or
be construed as a waiver of any such default or any acquiescence therein.
ARTICLE XIII
QUIET ENJOYMENT AND POSSESSION
13.01 COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT. Conditioned upon the Tenant paying all
Rent required to be paid by the Tenant and the Tenant's performance of all
covenants required under the terms of this Ground Lease, the Tenant shall
lawfully, peaceably and quietly hold, occupy and enjoy the Premises during the
Term, without hindrance, ejection or molestation.
13.02 POSSESSION. The Tenant shall be entitled to possession of the
Premises on the date hereof.
ARTICLE XIV
RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF LEASEHOLD MORTGAGES
14.01 RIGHT TO ENCUMBER. Nothing in this Ground Lease shall restrict
Tenant from encumbering, and Tenant shall have the right to encumber all of
Tenant's leasehold interest under this Ground Lease and all of Tenant's interest
in the Premises and the improvements, furnishings, furniture, equipment,
fixtures and personal property thereon, from time to time by one (but not more
than once at any one time) leasehold mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure
debt or other appropriate instrument (each being hereinafter referred to as a
"Leasehold Mortgage") in favor of a Lienholder.
14.02 LIENHOLDER DEFINED. As used in this Ground Lease, the term
"Lienholder" shall mean the institutional lender, including, without limitation,
a federal or state chartered bank, life insurance company, pension plan, REIT,
savings and loan association, similar institution or any other individual or any
entity, which is now or in the future the holder and owner of the debt secured
by a Leasehold Mortgage.
14.03 CONSENT OF LIENHOLDER. EXCEPTING FOR UNCURED DEFAULTS OF LESSEE,
THIS GROUND LEASE MAY NOT BE TERMINATED, SURRENDERED OR AMENDED NOR MAY ANY
PROVISIONS HEREOF BE WAIVED OR DEFERRED BY THE LANDLORD OR THE TENANT, WITHOUT
(i) THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ANY LIENHOLDER REQUESTING NOTICE; OR (ii)
OTHERWISE COMPLYING WITH THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS ARTICLE XIV.
14.04 NOTICE TO LIENHOLDER. AFTER THE EXECUTION OF THIS GROUND LEASE, THE
LANDLORD AGREES TO SEND TO ANY LIENHOLDER A COPY OF ALL NOTICES SENT BY THE
LANDLORD TO THE TENANT OR RECEIVED BY THE LANDLORD FROM THE TENANT AFFECTING OR
PERTAINING TO THE PREMISES. NO NOTICE FROM THE LANDLORD TO THE TENANT SHALL BE
EFFECTIVE UNLESS AND UNTIL A COPY HAS BEEN ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE LIENHOLDER.
HOWEVER, THE LANDLORD SHALL HAVE NO DUTY TO SEND A COPY OF ANY NOTICE TO OR TO
SEEK ANY APPROVAL OF ANY LIENHOLDER WHO DOES NOT BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO THE
LANDLORD REQUEST SUCH NOTICE AND SPECIFY THE ADDRESS TO WHICH COPIES OF SAME ARE
TO BE SENT PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 14.04. ANY LIENHOLDER'S ADDRESS FOR RECEIPT
OF NOTICE MAY BE CHANGED BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO THE LANDLORD.
14.05 TERMINATION AND OTHER REMEDIES. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Ground Lease, the Landlord may terminate this Ground Lease
or exercise any other remedies available to the Landlord hereunder and at law
and in equity because of a default hereunder only after the Landlord has sent
to the Lienholder a written notice simultaneously with the notice of such
default delivered to the Tenant pursuant to the terms hereof (or upon the
occurrence of such default, if the Tenant is not entitled to receive notice
thereof hereunder), specifying such default (provided, however, in the event
of an emergency the Landlord may exercise self-help to cure a non-monetary
default by the Tenant), and
- 12 -
A. if such default is a failure by the Tenant to pay any monies
to the Landlord or to any other party as required hereunder, such Lienholder
fails to cure such default within twenty (20) days after the expiration of the
Tenant's cure period; or
B. if such default is an act or omission other than the Tenant's
failure to pay monies to the Landlord or to any other party as required
hereunder, the Lienholder fails to commence within sixty (60) days after the
expiration of the Tenant's cure period the work of curing such default and
proceeds diligently and in good faith to cure the default until completion. In
the event such default is not susceptible to being cured by the Lienholder
without the Lienholder obtaining possession of the Premises or title to the
Tenant's leasehold estate created hereby, a Lienholder commencing within sixty
(60) days after the expiration of the Tenant's cure period and thereafter,
subject to unavoidable delays caused by bankruptcy or similar proceedings,
pursuing to completion proceedings to obtain possession and/or to foreclose the
Leasehold Mortgage held by the Lienholder, or diligently proceeding to obtain
title to the Tenant's leasehold estate created hereby by deed or assignment in
lieu of foreclosure, shall be deemed to satisfy the foregoing requirement that
the Lienholder commence and carry to completion the curing of such default;
provided that the Lienholder shall commence within thirty (30) days after
obtaining such possession or such title the curing of such default and proceed
diligently and in good faith to cure the default until completion.
14.06 RIGHTS TO CURE. A Lienholder shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to cure any default under this Ground Lease, and the Landlord shall
accept such performance by or at the instance of any Lienholder as if the same
had been made by the Tenant. Provided, however, if a default under this Ground
Lease places the interest of the Landlord at risk (i.e., such a default is an
emergency, an environmental violation or other violation of law) the Landlord
can proceed at any time after the expiration of Tenant's time to commence to
cure such default if the Tenant has not cured or commenced to cure such default,
to commence to cure such default at Tenant's expense.
14.07 NEW LEASE. If this Ground Lease shall terminate prior to the
expiration of the Term for any reason whatsoever, including, but not limited to,
operation of law or the rejection of this Ground Lease by any trustee of the
Tenant in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement or similar proceeding, the
Landlord shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lienholder and shall enter into
a new lease (the "New Lease") in recordable form with any Lienholder who demands
such New Lease within sixty (60) days after the termination of the Ground Lease
and who executes and delivers a New Lease to the Landlord and pays to the
Landlord all sums due to the Landlord pursuant to the terms of Subsection
14.07(b) hereof. The New Lease shall have the same priority as this Ground Lease
and shall contain the same terms and provisions as contained herein, including
but not limited to the same provisions and rights in favor of and for the
benefit of any Lienholder as are contained in this Ground Lease and the right to
obtain an additional new lease in the event of the termination of said New
Lease, and the right to receive notices of default, and to cure the same, in the
same manner as provided in this Ground Lease. The following terms, provisions
and covenant shall apply to the New Lease:
A. the party executing the New Lease as the tenant thereunder
shall have the right to assign or transfer the New Lease to any person or entity
without the Landlord's consent so long as the New Lease is in good standing and
current in obligations owed to the Landlord. Such right to obtain a New Lease
shall only be available to a Lienholder who requests such New Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party who is assigning the New Lease and the
estate created thereby shall provide to the Landlord notice of assignment and
shall cause to be executed and delivered in a form reasonably acceptable to the
Landlord an assumption agreement from the assignee pursuant to which said
assignee assumes the duties, obligations, covenants, conditions and restrictions
of the New Lease. Upon such assignment and assumption by the assignee, the
assignor shall be released of all liability under the New Lease, and, upon
request of the assignor, the Landlord shall execute and deliver to the assignor
a release agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the assignor evidencing
such release of the assignor from any liability under the New Lease;
B. the New Lease shall be effective as of the date of termination
of this Ground Lease (the "New Lease Effective Date"), and shall be effective
for the remainder of the Term at the rent and upon all of the terms and
provisions hereof. Upon the execution of a New Lease, the tenant thereunder
shall pay to the Landlord, subject to the adjustments required below, any and
all rent and all other sums payable to the Landlord by such tenant pursuant to
the New Lease which accrued
- 13 -
during the period from the New Lease Effective Date to the date of execution and
delivery of the New Lease (the "New Lease Execution Date") plus any sums due
hereunder by the Tenant prior to the New Lease Effective Date, less the net
amount of all sums received by the Landlord from any subtenant in occupancy of
any part or parts of the buildings or improvements built on the Property up to
the New Lease Execution Date;
C. subject to the terms of the second sentence of this Subsection
14.07(c), the party executing the New Lease as the tenant thereunder shall cure
any non-monetary defaults under this Ground Lease within thirty (30) days after
the later of: (i) taking possession of the Premises; and (ii) receipt of notice
from the Landlord of all non-monetary defaults. In the event that any such
non-monetary defaults cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, such
tenant shall commence to cure such non-monetary defaults within such thirty (30)
day period and diligently and in good faith continue to cure such non-monetary
defaults until completion; and
D. following the termination of this Ground Lease and until any
Lienholder has failed within sixty (60) days thereafter to demand a New Lease,
the Landlord shall not alter or in any way demolish the improvements or any
other improvements on the Premises. The Landlord during the same period shall
not remove, replace or change any furniture, furnishings, fixtures or equipment
located on the Premises except as may be required by an emergency situation or
in the interest of public health and safety.
14.08 SURVIVAL. The provisions of this Section 14.08 and Section 14.07
shall survive the termination, rejection or disaffirmance of this Ground Lease
and shall continue in full force and effect thereafter to the same extent as if
Sections 14.07 and 14.08 were a separate and independent contract made by the
Landlord, the Tenant and the Lienholder.
14.09 SUBLEASES AND RENTS. After the termination of this Ground Lease and
during the period thereafter during which any Lienholder shall be entitled to
enter into a New Lease, the Landlord will not terminate any sublease or the
rights of the subtenant under such a sublease unless such subtenant shall be in
material default under such sublease. During such period the Landlord shall
receive all base rent and other payments due from subtenants as agent of the
Lienholder and shall deposit such rents and payments in a separate and
segregated account in trust for the Premises and the Tenant, but may withdraw
such sums, from time to time, to pay necessary operating expenses and carrying
charges of the Premises, and, upon the execution and delivery of a New Lease,
shall account to the tenant under the New Lease for the balance, if any, of the
base rent, additional rents and other payment made under said subleases, and
said tenant shall thereupon assign the base rent, additional rents and other
payments due under said subleases to any Lienholder of the New Lease in the same
manner as such rentals and other payments had been assigned to the Lienholder
under this Ground Lease. Landlord may engage a reputable management firm of its
choice to manage the Property and the reasonable expenses of such firm shall be
a proper operating expense of the Property.
14.10 ASSIGNMENT. This Ground Lease may be assigned to any party without
the Landlord's consent as a result of foreclosure or as a result of a deed or
assignment in lieu of foreclosure. Any party who acquires title to this Ground
Lease at foreclosure or by deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure shall be
able to assign this Ground Lease to any party without the Landlord's consent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party who is assigning this Ground Lease (or
the assignee if the assignor does not do so) and the estate created hereby shall
provide to the Landlord notice of assignment and shall execute and deliver in a
form reasonably acceptable to the Landlord an assumption agreement from the
assignee pursuant to which said assignee assumes the duties, obligations,
covenants, conditions and restrictions of this Ground Lease. Provided that the
assignee: (i) has a net worth equal to or greater than Ten Million
($10,000,000.00) Dollars; and (ii) owns, owned, and/or developed at least Two
Hundred Fifty Thousand (250,000) leasable square feet of retail space and upon
such assignment and assumption by the assignee, the assignor shall be released
from all liability hereunder, and, upon request of the assignor, the Landlord
shall execute and deliver to the assignor a release agreement in a form
reasonably acceptable to the assignor evidencing such release of the assignor
evidencing such release of the assignor from any liability hereunder.
- 14 -
14.11 OBLIGATIONS OF LIENHOLDER IN POSSESSION. The Lienholder shall not
have any personal liability for performance of the Tenant's obligations under
this Ground Lease unless and until the Lienholder acquires title to the Tenant's
leasehold interest or assumes possession of the Premises.
14.12 DESIGNEES AND NOMINEES. All references in this Ground Lease to the
Lienholder shall be construed to also refer to any of the Lienholder's designee
or nominee.
14.13 COOPERATION. The Landlord and the Tenant shall cooperate by
incorporating into this Ground Lease, by suitable amendment, from time to time,
any provision which may reasonably be requested by any proposed Lienholder for
the purpose of implementing the leasehold mortgagee protection provisions
contained in this Ground Lease and allowing the Lienholder reasonable means to
protect or preserve the lien of a Leasehold Mortgage upon the occurrence of a
default under the terms of this Ground Lease. The Landlord and the Tenant each
agree to execute and deliver (and to execute a short form memorandum, if
necessary, for recording purposes) any agreement reasonably necessary to effect
any such amendment; provided, however, that any such amendment shall not in any
way affect the Term or Rent or uses under this Ground Lease or otherwise, in any
material respect, adversely affect any rights of the Landlord under this Ground
Lease.

Ground Lease, or to such other address, as either party shall have designated to

deemed delivered upon actual receipt if not mailed or if mailed upon deposit
into the U.S. Mails, in which case the time of delivery of such notice shall be

15.02 ATTORNEY'S FEES. In any litigation or action brought by the Landlord
or the Tenant concerning this Ground Lease, including any petitions and
proceedings in bankruptcy and all appeals, the prevailing party shall be awarded
reasonable attorney's fees, costs and expenses, at all tribunal levels.
15.03 NO WAIVER. No waiver by the Landlord or the Tenant of any breach of
any term, covenant or condition contained in this Ground Lease shall be deemed
to imply or constitute a waiver of such term, covenant or condition or of any
subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein
contained. The subsequent acceptance of Rent or other amounts due hereunder by
the Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by the
Tenant or any successor in interest or any Lienholder of any term, covenant or
condition of this Ground Lease, other than the failure of the Tenant to pay the
particular amount so accepted, regardless of the Landlord's knowledge of such
preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such amount, and no such payment
by the Tenant of any rents due hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any
preceding breach by the Landlord. No covenant, term or condition of this Ground
Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by the Landlord or the Tenant, unless
such waiver be in writing. The rights and remedies created by the Ground Lease
are cumulative, and are not intended to be exclusive. The use of one remedy
under this Ground Lease shall not be taken to exclude or waive the right or use
of another, and each party shall be entitled to pursue all remedies generally
available under the laws of the State of Florida.
15.04 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Ground Lease contains the entire agreement
between the parties hereto, and no agreements not contained herein shall be
binding upon either party.
15.05 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Ground Lease, and each and every
provision thereof, shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of
Landlord, Tenant, any Lienholder and the respective successors and assigns of
Landlord, Tenant and any Lienholder.
- 15 -
15.06 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Ground Lease is held to be
invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
15.07 MODIFICATION. No change or modification of this Ground Lease shall
be valid or binding upon the parties hereto unless such change or modification
shall be in writing and signed by the party against whom the same is sought to
be enforced.
15.08 CONSTRUCTION. All provisions hereof are to be construed as covenants
and agreements as though the words importing such covenants and agreements were
used in each section hereof. The necessary grammatical changes required to make
the provisions of this Ground Lease apply in the plural sense where there is
more than one landlord or tenant and to either corporations, associations,
partnerships or individuals, males or females, shall in all instances be assumed
as though in each case fully expressed. This Ground Lease has been the subject
of extensive negotiations between the parties, and the interpretation hereof
shall not be based upon any party's being the draftsman hereof.
15.09 SHORT FORM. The Landlord and the Tenant shall, execute and deliver
a short form of this Ground Lease for recording purposes in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit "E". Each party shall, on the request of the other, on
termination of this Ground Lease for any reason, execute and deliver a document
in recordable form for the purpose of evidencing such termination date. The
Tenant will indemnify and save harmless the Landlord against and from all
liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs, charges and
expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, which may be imposed upon or
incurred by or asserted against the Landlord by reason of any tax or other
expense attributable to the execution, delivery or recording of this Ground
Lease or any modification hereof. In case any action or proceeding is brought
against the Landlord by reason of such claim, the Tenant upon written notice
from the Landlord, will at the Tenant's expense, resist or defend such action or
proceeding by counsel approved by the Landlord in writing, such approval not to
be unreasonably withheld.
15.10 BROKERAGE. The Landlord and the Tenant covenant, represent and
warrant each to the other that no broker brought about this Ground Lease, nor is
any broker entitled to any fee, commission or compensation in connection
herewith. The Landlord and the Tenant shall indemnify and hold each other
harmless against any and all claims, losses, liabilities and expenses which may
be asserted against the other by any other broker, or person on the basis of any
arrangements or agreements made or alleged to have been made by or on behalf of
the indemnifying party in respect to this Ground Lease.
15.11 APPLICABLE LAW. This Ground Lease shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida and proper venue for any
proceeding hereunder shall be Miami-Dade County.
15.12 LANDLORD'S LIEN AND SECURITY INTEREST. The Landlord subordinates its
statutory landlord's lien rights with respect to the personal property,
merchandise, inventory and trade fixtures of the Tenant brought onto the
Premises and waives its statutory landlord's lien rights to the personal
property, merchandise, inventory and trade fixtures of the tenants/subtenants of
the Tenant brought onto the Premises. Further, the Landlord acknowledges this
Ground Lease does not create a security interest for the use and benefit of the
Landlord in and to the personal property, equipment, inventory or fixtures of
the Tenant or tenant/subtenants of the Tenant. However, the Landlord does claim
and possess a Security Interest as evidenced by financing statement(s) in the
Tenant's subtenant leases which shall be subordinate and inferior to any
Security Interest of any Lienholder.
15.13 CAPTIONS. The captions of this Ground Lease are for convenience of
reference only and in no way define, limit or describe the scope or intent of
this Ground Lease.
15.14 FACILITATION. Each party agrees to perform such further acts and to
execute and deliver such further documents as may be reasonably necessary to
carry out the provisions of this Ground Lease and are consistent therewith.
15.15 RADON GAS. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when
it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health
risks to persons who are
- 16 -
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.
15.16 FORCE MAJEURE. In the event that either party to this Ground Lease
shall be delayed or hindered in, or prevented from, the performance of any act
required hereunder by reason of strikes, lock-outs, labor troubles, inability to
procure materials, failure of power, restrictive governmental laws or
regulations, riots, insurrection, war or other reason of a like nature which is
not the fault of the party so delayed in performing acts required under the
terms of the Ground Lease, then performance of such act shall be excused for the
period of the delay, and the period for the performance of any such delayed act
shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay. Provided,
however, such force majeure shall not delay the payment of Net Minimum Rent by
the Tenant to the Landlord for a cumulative period greater than ninety (90)
days.
15.17 ACCORD AND SATISFACTION. No payment by the Tenant or receipt by the
Landlord of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to
be other than on account of the earliest stipulated Rent, nor shall any
endorsement or statement on any check or any letter be deemed an accord and
satisfaction, and the Landlord may accept such check or payment without
prejudice to the Landlord's right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue
any other remedies in this Ground Lease provided.
15.18 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL AND COUNTERCLAIMS. The Landlord and the Tenant
each waive trial by jury in connection with proceedings or counterclaims brought
by either of the parties against the other. In the event of suit by the Landlord
to collect rent, the Tenant shall not interpose any counterclaim in such
proceeding, provided, however, the Tenant may interpose a compulsory
counterclaim in such suit.
15.19 HOLDING OVER. This Ground Lease shall automatically terminate and be
of no further force or effect upon the expiration of the Term, and any holding
over by the Tenant after such expiration shall not constitute a renewal hereof
or provide the Tenant with any rights hereunder except that the Tenant shall be
deemed to be in possession of the Premises on a month-to-month tenancy
commencing on the first day following the expiration of this Ground Lease and a
tenant at sufferance of the Landlord. Any such tenancy shall be subject to the
terms and conditions herein contained except that the monthly Rent shall be
equal to one hundred fifty (150%) percent of the monthly Rent as of the date of
expiration of the Term and said tenancy may be terminated at any time upon
thirty (30) days' written notice by the Landlord to the Tenant or by the Tenant
to the Landlord. If the Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon expiration
of this Ground Lease, despite demand to do so by the Landlord, the Tenant shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Landlord from any and all loss or liability as a
result thereof. The acceptance of Rent under the provisions of this Section
15.19 shall not, however, be construed as a waiver by the Landlord of any rights
of reentry as provided by law or as set forth in this Ground Lease, or any
renewal hereof. The Tenant shall indemnify and save harmless the Landlord and
its employees and agents from and against any and all liabilities or loss in
connection with, wholly or in part, the Tenant's holding over.
15.20 CAPTIONS. The headings of the several articles and sections
contained herein are for convenience of reference only and do not define, limit
or construe the contents of such articles and sections.
15.21 NOT A PARTNERSHIP. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as
creating a partnership, joint venture or any other relationship between the
Landlord and the Tenant, other than that of landlord and tenant.
15.22 NON-HOMESTEAD PROPERTY. The Landlord represents, warrants and
covenants to the Tenant that the Landlord has full capacity and authority to
execute and deliver this Ground Lease and to consummate the transactions
contemplated in this Ground Lease, and the Property does not and has never
constituted the residence or homestead of the Landlord nor is contiguous or
adjacent to the residence or the homestead of the Landlord.
15.23 EXCULPATION. The Tenant agrees that it shall look solely to the
estate and property of the Landlord in the land and buildings comprising the
Premises for the collection of any judgment
- 17 -
(or any other judicial process) requiring the payment of money by the Landlord
in the event of any default or breach by the Landlord with respect to any of the
terms, covenants and conditions of this Ground Lease to be observed and
performed by the Landlord, and no other property or estate of the Landlord, or
any partners of the Landlord, shall be subject to levy, execution or other
enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of the Tenant's remedies. Similarly,
the Landlord agrees that it shall look solely to the estate and property of the
Tenant in the buildings comprising the Premises and the rents therefrom for the
collection of any judgment (or any other judicial process) requiring the payment
of money by the Tenant in the event of any default or breach by the Tenant with
respect to any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Ground Lease to be
observed and performed by the Tenant, and no other property or estate of the
Tenant, or any partners of the Tenant, shall be subject to levy, execution or
other enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of the Landlord's remedies.
ARTICLE XVI
LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO PERFORM TENANT'S COVENANTS
16.01 TENANT'S FAILURE TO PAY. If the Tenant shall at any time fail to pay
any tax or assessment in accordance with the provisions of this Ground Lease, or
to pay for or maintain any of the insurance policies provided for in this Ground
Lease, or to make any other payment or perform any other act on its part to be
made or performed under this Ground Lease, then after thirty (30) days' written
notice to the Tenant (or, in case of any emergency on such notice, as may be
reasonable under the circumstances) and without waiving or releasing the Tenant
from any obligation of the Tenant hereunder, the Landlord may (but shall not be
required to):
A. pay any tax or assessment payable by the Tenant pursuant to
the provisions of this Ground Lease; or
B. pay for and maintain any of the insurance policies provided
for in this Ground Lease; or
C. make any other payment or perform any other act on the
Tenant's part to be made or performed as in this Ground Lease provided; and
D. enter upon the Premises for that purpose and take all such
action thereon as may be necessary therefor.
16.02 REIMBURSEMENT OF THE LANDLORD. All sums paid by the Landlord and all
costs and expenses incurred by the Landlord in connection with the performance
of any such act (together with interest thereon at four (4%) percent per annum
over and above the "prime rate" announced from time to time by THE WALL STREET
JOURNAL as its "prime rate", from the respective dates of the Landlord's making
of each such payment or incurring of each such cost and expense) shall
constitute Additional Rent payable by the Tenant on demand under this Ground
Lease.
ARTICLE XVII
ENTRY ON PROPERTY BY LANDLORD
Except in the case of an emergency, where only reasonable notice under the
circumstances shall be required, the Tenant will permit the Landlord and its
authorized representative(s) to enter the Premises, including any buildings
built on the Property after reasonable, written notice, during normal business
hours for the purpose of: (1) inspecting the buildings and Premises; and (2)
making any necessary repairs thereto and performing any other work therein that
may be necessary by reason of the Tenant's failure to make any such repairs or
perform any such work or to commence the same within thirty (30) days after
written notice from the Landlord. Nothing herein shall imply any duty or legal
obligation on the part of the Landlord to do any such work, and the performance
of such work by the Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of the Tenant's
default in failing to perform the same. The Landlord may, during the progress of
any such work, keep and store therein or elsewhere, all necessary materials,
tools, supplies and equipment. The Landlord shall not be liable for
inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance, loss of business or other damage of the
Tenant or any subtenant by reason of making such repairs or the performance of
any such work, or on account of
- 18 -
bringing materials, tools, supplies and equipment into or through the Premises
during the course thereof and the obligation of the Tenant under this Ground
Lease shall not be affected thereby.
ARTICLE XVIII
STATEMENTS
At any time and from time to time, either party, on at least twenty (20)
days' prior written request by the other party, will deliver to the party making
such request a statement in writing certifying that this Ground Lease is
unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there shall have been
modifications that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating
the modifications) and the dates to which the rent and other charges have been
paid and stating whether or not, to the best knowledge of the party executing
such certificate, the party requesting such statement is in default in
performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Ground
Lease, and if so, specifying each such default of which the executing party may
have knowledge.
ARTICLE XIX
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
In the event the Landlord shall receive a BONA FIDE written offer from an
independent, unrelated third party to purchase the Property or a portion thereof
(hereinafter referred to as an "Offer") during the term of this Ground Lease,
and if the Landlord shall desire to accept the Offer, then, after accepting the
Offer, which will contain a provision notifying said third party purchaser of
the Tenant's right of first refusal hereunder, the Landlord shall deliver a
photocopy of such Offer to the Tenant. The Tenant shall then have twenty (20)
business days from the date of receipt of such offer within which to elect to
purchase the Property or the portion thereof that is subject to the Offer upon
the same terms and conditions as those contained in the Offer except that the
closing date for the Tenant will be extended for a period equal to the number of
days between the date the Landlord accepted said Offer and the date the Tenant
actually received a copy of said Offer. The Tenant shall exercise the right
granted to it hereunder by delivering written notice of its intent to purchase
the Property or the portion thereof that is subject to the Offer, to the
Landlord within the time period referred to above. In the event the Tenant shall
elect to exercise the right granted to it hereunder, the closing of the
transaction shall occur in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in
the Offer except as modified herein. In the event the Tenant shall not have
exercised the right granted to it hereunder in the manner and within the time
period provided for herein, the Landlord shall then be free to accept the Offer
and to sell the Property or the portion thereof that is subject to the Offer,
pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Offer and the Tenant shall
have no interest in or rights with respect to the Property or the portion
thereof that is subject to the Offer. The Landlord, in its sole and absolute
discretion, may at any time reject an Offer made to it, and any such rejection
shall fully and completely terminate the Tenant's rights hereunder with respect
to each such rejected Offer. If the Landlord accepts an Offer after the Tenant
has elected not to accept such Offer, and the transaction contemplated by such
Offer fails to close for any reason whatsoever, the Tenant's rights hereunder to
notice of subsequent Offers and to elect to purchase the Property or a portion
thereof shall remain in full force and effect.
