If the Closing occurs prior to the receipt by Seller of the tax bill for the calendar year or other applicable tax period in which the Closing occurs, Taxes shall be prorated for such calendar year or other applicable tax period based upon the amount equal to the prior year’s tax bill.

Purchaser agrees to pay to Seller, upon receipt, any rents or other payments by tenants under their respective Leases that apply to periods prior to Closing but are received by Purchaser after Closing; provided, however, that any delinquent rents or other payments by tenants shall be applied first to any current amounts owing by such tenants, then to delinquent rents in the order in which such rents are most recently past due, with the balance, if any, paid over to Seller to the extent of delinquencies existing at the time of Closing to which Seller is entitled; it being understood and agreed that Purchaser shall not be legally responsible to Seller for the collection of any rents or other charges payable with respect to the Leases or any portion thereof, which are delinquent or past due as of the Closing Date; but Purchaser agrees that Purchaser shall send monthly notices prepared by Seller for a period of three (3) consecutive months in an effort to collect any rents and charges not collected as of the Closing Date. Any

 

22


reimbursements payable by any tenant under the terms of any tenant lease affecting the Property as of the Closing Date, which reimbursements pertain to such tenant’s pro rata share of increased operating expenses or common area maintenance costs incurred with respect to the Property at any time prior to the Closing, shall be prorated upon Purchaser’s actual receipt of any such reimbursements, on the basis of the number of days of Seller and Purchaser’s respective ownership of the Property during the period in respect of which such reimbursements are payable; and Purchaser agrees to pay to Seller Seller’s pro rata portion of such reimbursements within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receipt thereof. Conversely, if any tenant under any such Lease shall become entitled at any time after Closing to a refund of tenant reimbursements actually paid by such tenant prior to Closing, then, Seller shall, within thirty (30) days following Purchaser’s demand therefor, pay to Purchaser any amount equal to Seller’s pro rata share of such reimbursement refund obligations, said proration to be calculated on the same basis as hereinabove set forth. Seller hereby waives its right to file any administrative or legal action against any tenant under the Leases for sums due Seller for periods attributable to Seller’s ownership of the Property, except that Seller shall be entitled to continue to pursue any legal proceedings commenced prior to Closing; but shall not be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings against any tenant seeking eviction of such tenant or the termination of the applicable Lease unless consented to by Purchaser in writing. Seller shall be responsible for collecting and remitting all sales and use taxes that are due or become due on rent payments under the Leases received by Seller prior to Closing. Purchaser shall be responsible for collecting and remitting all sales and use taxes that become due on rent payments under the Leases received by Purchaser after Closing.

(d) Intentionally Omitted.

(e) Security Deposits. Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for all Security Deposits (and any interest thereon required to be reimbursed to any tenant) pursuant to Leases or pursuant to applicable law. Seller agrees to and does hereby indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any liability or expense incurred by Purchaser by reason of any Security Deposit (and interest thereon, if required by law) actually collected by Seller and not credited to Purchaser at the Closing. Purchaser agrees to and does hereby indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any liability or expense incurred by Seller by reason of any Security Deposit (and interest thereon, if required by law) which is credited to Purchaser at the Closing and which Purchaser does not properly refund to the tenant pursuant to the terms of the applicable Lease.

(f) Operating Expenses. Personal property taxes, installment payments of special assessment liens, vault charges, sewer charges, utility charges, and normally prorated operating expenses actually paid or payable as of the Closing Date shall be prorated as of the Closing Date and adjusted against the Purchase Price, provided that within one (1) year after the Closing, Purchaser and Seller will make a further adjustment for such taxes, charges and expenses which may have accrued or been incurred prior to the Closing Date, but not collected or paid at that date. In addition, on or before the end of the fiscal year(s) used in calculating the pass-through to tenants of operating expenses and/or common area maintenance costs under the Leases (where such fiscal year(s) include(s) the Closing Date), Seller and Purchaser shall, upon the request of either, re-prorate on a fair and equitable basis in order to adjust for the effect of any credits or payments due to or from tenants for periods prior to the Closing Date. All

 

23


prorations shall be made based on the number of calendar days in such year or month, as the case may be. In no event shall Purchaser be responsible for any management fees, commissions or other amounts due Seller’s property manager for periods prior to the Closing, or for any premiums or other amounts due in relation to any policies of insurance maintained by Seller or Seller’s property manager, or for any amounts due any Affiliate of Seller, all of which shall remain Seller’s responsibility.

(g) Special Assessments. Certified, confirmed and ratified special assessment liens as of the Closing Date (and not as of the Effective Date) shall be paid by Seller or Purchaser shall receive a credit therefor. Pending liens as of the Closing Date shall be assumed by Purchaser; provided, however, that where the improvement, for which the special assessment was levied, has been substantially completed as of the Effective Date, such pending liens shall be considered as certified, confirmed or ratified and Seller shall, at Closing, be charged an amount equal to the estimated amount of the assessment for the improvement. If any special assessment liens are due in installments Seller shall be required to pay any installment due as of the Closing Date and Purchaser shall be responsible for all such installments due after the Closing Date.

(h) Leased Personal Property. All amounts payable or prepaid under leases of any of the leased items of Personal Property, if any, which Purchaser elects to include in the Property shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.

The provisions of this Section 5.4 shall survive the Closing of this Agreement.

LEASE

1. Premises. In consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, the Premises. The Premises are subject to any and all liens, charges, encumbrances and matters of record (the “Permitted Exceptions”), any exclusive uses or prohibited uses set forth in any lease for space in the Project as of the Effective Date, including, without limitation to those certain exclusive uses and prohibitions set forth on Exhibit F attached hereto, and the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease. The Area of the Premises includes a proportionate share of the common areas of the Project. The Area of Building, Area of Warehouse, Area of Total Premises, Area of Office Premises and Area of Warehouse Premises are as set forth in the Basic Lease Information, but may be adjusted from time to time by Landlord to reflect any changes as may be reasonably required or result from any updated surveys, plans or drawings or as otherwise set forth herein. Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to have a licensed architect measure the rentable area of the Premises and the Building, or any portion thereof as applicable, to determine the rentable areas of the Premises based on the BOMA Standard (ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-1996, published by the Building Owners and Managers Association) (the “BOMA Standard”) and the party requesting the remeasurement shall deliver an architect’s certificate to the non-requesting party. The non-requesting party shall have fifteen (15) days to deliver comments or objections to the architect’s certificate. If the non-requesting party delivers comments or objections, Landlord and Tenant and their respective architects shall meet and confer in good faith to resolve any discrepancy in accordance with the BOMA Standard. Upon a final determination of the rentable square feet, the parties will enter into an amendment to this Lease reflecting the adjustment and all other amounts specified in this Lease shall be adjusted accordingly.

2. Term.


(a) The term of this Lease (the “Term”) is the period from the Commencement Date and continuing through the Expiration Date or the earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant expressly agrees and acknowledges that there will be no extension(s) of the Term or any holdover by Tenant.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease at any time prior to the expiration of the Term (the “Early Termination Option”) on the following terms and conditions: (i) Tenant must give Landlord unequivocal written notice of such exercise (the “Early Termination Notice”) at least sixty (60) days prior to the Early Termination Date set forth in the Early Termination Notice; (ii) if Tenant is vacating the Warehouse Premises, Tenant must vacate and surrender all (and not less than all) of the Warehouse Premises in its entirety; (iii) there is no existing default by Tenant at the time of such exercise and that no default occurs at any time after such exercise (which such foregoing condition may be waived by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion); and (iv) Tenant pays all amounts due hereunder with respect to such period prior to the Early Termination Date.

3. Base Rent. Commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Base Rent for the use and occupancy of the Premises in the amounts set forth in the Basic Lease Information, payable in advance in equal monthly installments as of the first day of each calendar month of the Term, without offset, counterclaim, or deduction whatsoever, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease. All rent payments shall be made at Landlord’s address set forth above or such other address as designated by Landlord.

4. Operating Expenses; Taxes.

(a) Tenant shall pay to the Landlord the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Operating Expenses (as hereinafter defined) and Taxes (as hereinafter defined) for each calendar year of the Term, plus all sales tax due thereon for each applicable portion of the Project. Tenant’s obligation to pay its Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes shall commence as of the Commencement Date. Any unallocated Operating Expenses of the Project shall be allocated to Tenant and paid by Tenant in accordance with Tenant’s Proportionate Share.

(b) “Operating Expenses” shall mean the following costs, expenses and fees incurred by Landlord in connection with or attributable to the Project, including, but not limited to, the following items: (i) all costs, expenses and fees associated with or attributable to the ownership, management, operation, repair, maintenance, improvement, alteration and replacement of the following items, in each case as and to the extent such expense is allocable to the Project as a whole and not to any tenant improvements made to premises used by Landlord or other tenants: (A) all surfaces, coverings, decorative items, carpets, drapes, window coverings, common parking areas (including, sweeping, cleaning, re-striping, repairing, sealing, re-surfacing and replacement), loading and unloading areas, trash areas, roadways, sidewalks, stairways, walls, structural elements, landscaped areas, striping, bumpers, irrigation systems, lighting facilities, building exteriors and roofs, fences and gates; (B) all heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment (“HVAC”), plumbing, mechanical, electrical systems, life safety systems and equipment, telecommunication equipment, elevators, escalators, tenant directories, fire detection systems including sprinkler system maintenance and repair; (ii) the reasonable cost of trash disposal, janitorial services and security services and systems; (iii) the cost of insurance purchased by Landlord, including any deductibles, solely pertaining to the Project; (iv) the cost of water (including storm and sanitary drainage systems, including, disposal plants, lift stations, detention ponds and basins), sewer, waste disposal, gas, electricity, and other utilities available at the Project and paid by or on behalf of Landlord; (v) the cost of wages, salaries, taxes, benefits, labor and applicable fringe benefits incurred by Landlord plus the cost of any other payroll burdens and space occupied by a property manager and/or leasing agent that is not Tenant, provided that such compensation expenses are competitive and customary with similar buildings in the Miami area; (vi) the cost of materials, supplies and tools used in managing, maintaining and/or cleaning the Project; (vii) the cost of accounting fees, management fees (provided, that such manager is an unrelated third party to Landlord), legal fees and consulting fees attributable to the ownership, operation, management, maintenance and repair of the Project; (viii) the cost of operating, replacing, modifying and/or adding improvements or equipment mandated by any Legal Requirement and any repairs or removals necessitated thereby (including, but not limited to, the cost of complying with the Americans With Disabilities Act and regulations of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration); (ix) payments made by Landlord under any easement, license, operating agreement, declaration, restrictive covenant, or instrument pertaining to the payment or sharing of costs among property owners; (x) any business property taxes or personal property taxes imposed upon the fixtures, machinery, equipment, furniture and personal property used in connection with the operation of the Project; (xi) the cost of all business licenses, any gross receipt taxes based on rental income or other payments received by Landlord, commercial rental taxes or any similar

The parties acknowledge and agree that the foregoing Operating Expenses pertain to the operation and management of the Project in its current form, and that to the extent any such Operating Expenses are incurred in connection with Landlord’s redevelopment of the Project, such expenses shall not be deemed to be Operating Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for purposes of clarification, increases of Operating Expenses occurring as a result of the acquisition of the Project by Landlord, such as Taxes and insurance, shall not be deemed increases resulting from Landlord’s redevelopment of the Project.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Operating Expenses shall not include: (i) depreciation on the Project or equipment therein; (ii) Landlord’s executive salaries; (iii) real estate brokers’ leasing commissions and advertising expenses incurred in connection with the development or leasing of the Project or future leasing of the Project; (iv) legal and consulting fees and other costs incurred in connection with negotiations or disputes with present or prospective tenants or other occupants of the Project; (v) expenses in connection with services or other benefits which are not offered to Tenant but are offered to other tenants or for which Tenant is charged for directly but which are not provided to other tenants or occupants of the Project; (vi) audit and verification fees, except such fees which are incurred with respect to Operating Expenses related to the Building or other areas of the Project occupied or utilized by Tenant and which directly benefit tenants of the Building or such other areas of the Project; (vii) any bad debt loss, rent loss or reserves for bad debts or rent loss; (viii) costs, including permit, license and inspection costs, incurred with respect to the installation of tenant improvements made for tenants in the Project or incurred in renovating or otherwise improving, decorating, painting or redecorating vacant space for tenants or other occupants of the Project; (ix) interest and principal payments on mortgages, points and fees on debt or amortization on any mortgage or mortgages encumbering the Building or the Project, financing or refinancing expenses, return on investment; (x) wages and fees incurred in connection with the ownership, management and operation of the parking facilities serving the Project or the Premises except that Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes and repairs, replacements and maintenance to the parking facilities; (xi) fees relating to recorded “CC&R’s” or similar such recorded restrictions and easements to the extent such fees do not benefit the use and/or operation of the common areas; and (xii) any claims, costs, awards, settlements, fines, fees, and other liability arising out of any negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord, or of Landlord’s agents, contractors, employees, servants, guests or officers, arising out of any default of this Lease or violation of any laws or regulations by Landlord, or Landlord’s agents, contractors, employees, servants, guests or officers.

(d) “Taxes” shall mean all taxes and assessments, and other governmental impositions, valorem and ad valorem taxes, charges and levies, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, unforeseen as well as foreseen, of any kind and nature (including, without limitation, real estate taxes, parking surcharges, sales tax and any other taxes imposed or relating to the Project and interest on such assessments whenever the same are payable in installments), levied or assessed directly or indirectly against the Project and other taxes arising out of the use and/or occupancy of the Project imposed by federal, state, or local governmental authority or any other taxing authority having jurisdiction over the Project, including, but not limited to, reasonable expenses directly incurred by Landlord in contesting the validity of, in seeking a reduction in, or in seeking to prevent an increase in any such taxes and/or assessments. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the provisions of Section 4(b) above, “Taxes” shall not include (a) Landlord’s federal, state, or local income tax, franchise, luxury, transfer, inheritance or estate taxes; (b) tax penalties, interest, fines, fees or assessments incurred as a result of Landlord’s failure to make payments when due; and (c) real property taxes on areas of the Project where Tenant’s Premises are not located or where Tenant has no parking or common area rights.

(e) Tenant hereby agrees to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes, as applicable, in monthly installments on the first day of each calendar month, in advance, in an amount estimated by Landlord or Landlord’s manager from time to time, together with Tenant’s payment of Base Rent. Landlord shall have


the right, at any time and from time to time during each calendar year, by notice to Tenant, to change said estimate. Subsequent to the end of each full calendar year or partial calendar year, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the actual amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes, as applicable, for such full calendar year or partial calendar year, and provide such supporting documentation as Tenant may reasonably request. If the payment made by Tenant pursuant to this Section for any full or partial calendar year shall be less than the actual amount due from Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference between the amount paid by Tenant and the actual amount due, within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice. If the total amount paid by Tenant for any full or partial calendar year shall exceed the actual amount due from Tenant for such full or partial calendar year, such excess shall be credited against the next rent payment due from Tenant. Tenant’s Proportionate Share of actual Operating Expenses and Taxes, as applicable, for the final estimate period of the Term shall be due and payable even though it may not be finally calculated until after the expiration of the Term.

(f) The payment by Tenant of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses shall not preclude it from disputing Landlord’s statement of actual Operating Expenses that are in Landlord’s control. Within ninety (90) days after Landlord furnishes its statement of actual Operating Expenses for any calendar year, Tenant, its attorneys, accountants and agents, at Tenant’s expense, shall, during normal business hours following prior written notice to Landlord and not more frequently than once per year, have the right to examine and audit Landlord’s books and records pertaining to the Operating Expenses that are in the Landlord’s control for such calendar year only, subject to the following additional conditions: (i) there is no uncured event of default by Tenant under this Lease; (ii) the audit shall be prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm of recognized national standing; (iii) in no event shall any audit be performed by a firm retained on a “contingency fee” basis; (iv) the audit shall commence within ten (10) days after Landlord makes Landlord’s books and records available to Tenant’s auditor and shall conclude within sixty (60) days after commencement; (v) Tenant, its accounting firm and auditor shall treat any audit in a confidential manner and shall, upon the request of Landlord, execute a confidentiality agreement prior to any such audit; and (vi) prior to any audit proceeding, Tenant shall have provided to Landlord in writing reasonable detail of any perceived overcharging and shall have given Landlord at least fifteen (15) days to respond to such notice. In the event such audit reveals an overstatement of Operating Expenses that are in Landlord’s control of more than ten percent (10%), Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant for reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant in conducting such audit. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit, suspend, or abate Tenant’s obligation to pay rent when due. If Tenant does not give written notice of its election to audit Landlord’s Operating Expenses within ninety (90) days after Landlord furnishes its statements of actual Operating Expenses for such calendar year, Landlord’s Operating Expenses for such applicable calendar year shall be deemed approved for all purposes, and Tenant shall have no further right to review or contest same.

(g) Tenant shall pay, when due, all taxes attributable to the personal property, trade fixtures, business, occupancy, or sales of Tenant and to the use of the Premises by Tenant.

(h) Landlord shall have the right to designate any of Landlord’s obligations hereunder for purposes of maintaining or operating the Project or any portion thereof to a manager, management company or other third party.

5. Rent; Late Charge. For purposes of this Lease, all sums due from Tenant, including, but not limited to, Base Rent, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses, and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes, shall be deemed to be “rent” whether or not specifically designated as such. Tenant shall pay all sales and use taxes levied or assessed against all rent payments due under this Lease simultaneously with each such rent payment. If any payment due from Tenant shall be overdue by more than ten (10) days, a late charge of ten (10%) percent of the delinquent sum may be charged by Landlord. If any payment due from Tenant shall remain overdue for more than ten (10) days, an additional late charge in an amount equal to the Default Rate (as hereinafter defined) of the delinquent amount may be charged by Landlord, such charge to be computed for the entire period for which the amount is overdue and which shall be in addition to and not in lieu of the late charge or any other remedy available to Landlord. If any check from Tenant is returned by the bank for non-payment due to insufficient funds, Tenant shall pay all expenses incurred by Landlord as a result thereof. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of rent hereunder shall be deemed to be other than on account of the amount due, and no endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment of rent shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check as payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such installment or payment of rent or pursue any other remedies available to Landlord.


6. Landlord’s Lien Waiver. Landlord expressly waives all claims, rights of distraint or levy, liens and other rights which Landlord now has or may hereafter acquire with respect to Tenant’s trade fixtures and personal property on the Premises under the terms of this Lease.

7. Use; Signs.

(a) Tenant may use and occupy the Premises during the Term solely for the Permitted Use described in the Basic Lease Information, and for no other use or purpose whatsoever. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Landlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that Tenant has the right to occupy and conduct its business for the Permitted Use on the Premises (including the common areas of the Project applicable to Tenant) at all times, 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. Landlord reserves the right to enter the Premises (with not less than 24 hours prior notice and during normal business hours; provided that no notice is needed in an emergency or as may be required by applicable Legal Requirements) to show the Premises to contractors, lenders, prospective purchasers, tenants, insurers, or inspectors and to conduct maintenance or make repairs as needed, provided that (i) such entry does not materially interfere with the business operations of Tenant, (ii) any representative of Landlord so entering the Premises is accompanied at all times by a representative of Tenant (provided that no representative shall be required in the event of an emergency or if access is required by applicable Legal Requirements), and (iii) Landlord’s representatives and any party entering with such representatives complies at all times with Tenant’s reasonable occupational safety and other rules applicable to the Premises, provided that such rules are provided to Landlord’s representatives any party entering with such representatives. Tenant agrees with respect to the foregoing clause (ii) that so long as Landlord has provided Tenant with not less than 24 hour hours prior notice and such entry is within normal business hours, to make a representative available to accompany Landlord and any failure by Tenant to provide an escort shall not prohibit Landlord or Landlord’s representative from entering the Premises. Landlord shall also have the right to install, perform or conduct soil, groundwater or other environmental borings, installations, sampling, testing or analysis at, on or under the Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(a), including, but not limited to, if such activities or work is requested by applicable governmental agencies. Tenant agrees to comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations of any governmental entity or agency having jurisdiction over the Premises (“Legal Requirements”), including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act (both federal and Florida) and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Tenant and Tenant’s parents, affiliates and subsidiaries shall maintain and comply with all environmental and other permits and licenses in accordance with all Legal Requirements during the Term that are necessary for Tenant’s operations at the Premises, and Tenant or Tenant’s parents, affiliates or subsidiaries, as applicable, shall remain the permittee on all such permits and licenses during the Term for which it is the current permittee or licensee, except as agreed to by the parties. The name for the Project or any portion thereof which Landlord may from time to time adopt, and every name or mark adopted by Landlord in connection with the Project or any portion thereof shall be used by Tenant only in association with the business carried on in the Premises during the Term, and Tenant’s use thereof shall be subject to such reasonable, non-discriminatory, and uniformly enforced regulation as Landlord may from time to time impose and communicate to Tenant.

(b) Tenant shall be permitted to the non-exclusive use of the roof of the Building, free of charge, and subject to Landlord’s approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and in compliance with all Legal Requirements, for the placement and operation of Tenant’s equipment existing on the roof as of the Effective Date, including, but not limited to, vent shafts, HVAC units, fresh air exchanges, satellite dishes and antennae (together with any related wires, conduits and other equipment necessary or desirable for the operation of any of the foregoing) existing as of the Effective Date and used in the operation of Tenant’s business for the Permitted Use (collectively, the “Roof Equipment”). Tenant shall pay all costs for installation, maintenance, repair and removal of the Roof Equipment. In addition, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant, during the Term and any renewals of this Lease, a license to access, maintain, repair, replace and remove, on a 24 hour a day, 365 days a year basis, Tenant’s cable (including coaxial and fiber) and communications wiring and related equipment existing as of the Effective Date and used in the operation of Tenant’s business (collectively, the “Cable”) in, over, across and through the Building, in the manner and location currently existing as of the Effective Date; provided, that such Cable shall not interfere with any of Landlord’s redevelopment, development rights or plans and to the extent of any interference, as determined by Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s expense, relocate such Cable in an area designated by Landlord after consultation with Tenant. Tenant shall have no right to reconfigure and/or relocate the Cable or any Roof Equipment or cause any new penetration to the Building or the roof without the express written consent of the Landlord, which consent shall be in Landlord’s absolute and sole discretion. All work, operations, maintenance, relocation and removal relating to the Roof Equipment or Cable shall be


performed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and by a licensed contractor reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant shall indemnify Landlord and hold it harmless Landlord from and against any and all losses, claims, actions, damages, liability, and expense of any kind whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs at all tribunal levels) relating to the Roof Equipment, the Cable and any installation, maintenance, repair, removal or any other work relating thereto.

(c) No signs or graphic displays shall be used or permitted on the exterior of the Premises (or the interior of the Premises, if visible from outside of the Premises) without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall be in Landlord’s sole discretion; provided, however, that (i) any exterior permanent signage existing on the Premises as of the Effective Date shall be deemed approved and (ii) the existing Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens temporary sign located on the south façade of the Building as of the Effective Date shall be deemed approved (provided, that the proper permits under all applicable Legal Requirements have been obtained and Tenant delivers to Landlord evidence thereof prior to the Effective Date) for the period that is the lesser of (x) thirty (30) days from the Effective Date and (y) the expiration date on the applicable permit for such signage. If prior to the expiration of the Term, Landlord delivers notice to Tenant that Landlord does not intend to demolish or destroy the Building within one (1) year after expiration of the Term, then Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall remove all of Tenant’s signage from the Building and promptly repair any damage caused thereby.

8. Maintenance; Utilities; Services.

(a) Landlord covenants to maintain the following to the Minimum Standard (as hereinafter defined): (i) all structural elements, exterior walls, roof, and foundations of the Building; and (ii) the boilers (if any), elevators and all HVAC, plumbing, electrical and other building systems (collectively, the “Building Systems”) in or with respect to the Building (except to the extent any of the foregoing relate solely to Tenant’s Premises, in which case such maintenance, repairs or replacements shall be Tenant’s responsibility pursuant to Section 8(b) below). Landlord shall make all repairs and/or replacements required to be made by Landlord hereunder promptly when and as needed in order to insure that the same comply with applicable Legal Requirements or the Minimum Standard. The cost of such maintenance and repairs shall be included in Operating Expenses. Landlord and Tenant expressly agree that neither party (as applicable) shall be required to maintain, repair or replace the Project or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, any Building, the Premises or building system related thereto, to a condition other than the Minimum Standard. If Landlord after receipt of written notice from Tenant fails to commence such repairs and/or replacements within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from Tenant or fails to repair, replace or correct such item within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice from Tenant (or such longer period as may be reasonably required so long as Landlord is proceeding with same with due diligence), then Tenant, in addition to all other rights or remedies to which Tenant is entitled under this Lease, at law or in equity, may (but is not required to) make all such repairs and/or replacements itself; provided, that any repairs or replacements shall be done by a licensed contractor or workman reasonably acceptable to Landlord. If Tenant makes such repairs or replacements pursuant to the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to be reimbursed by Landlord for all such reasonable and actual costs and expenses incurred by Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the applicable invoices and such other back-up information as Landlord may reasonably request evidencing the actual costs and expenses incurred for such repairs and replacements. In the event that Landlord does not reimburse Tenant within such time period, Landlord shall be required to pay interest on such amount at an annual rate equal to the prime or reference rate in effect from time to time at Bank of America (or its successor), plus four percent (4%), provided that in no case shall such rate be higher than the highest rate permitted by applicable law (the “Default Rate”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any reimbursement to which Tenant may be entitled pursuant to this Section 8(a), shall be limited to the cost of the repair or replacement that was required to bring the condition to the Minimum Standard. To the extent that any work, repairs or replacement exceeds the Minimum Standard, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or any other party for any amount(s) in excess of the amount(s) that would have been required to bring the item to the Minimum Standard. For purposes of this agreement, the “Minimum Standard” shall mean the same condition as of the Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear and casualty damage excepted.

(b) Tenant shall, at its sole cost, repair and maintain all non-structural components within the Premises and to the Building Systems solely affecting the Premises to the Minimum Standard, with the exception only of those repairs which are the obligation of Landlord pursuant to Section 9(a) above. All repairs and maintenance performed by Tenant in or to the Premises or the Building Systems or any portion thereof shall be by licensed contractors and workmen designated or approved by Landlord. Tenant shall make all repairs and/or replacements required to be made by Tenant hereunder promptly when and as needed in order to insure that the same comply with applicable Legal Requirements or the Minimum Standard.

 


(c) Notwithstanding provisions of subsections (a) and (b) above, in the event that either party’s repair and maintenance obligations would entail the payment of expenses that would ordinarily be considered to be of a capital nature, the cost of which will exceed $250,000, and provided that such repair or maintenance obligation is not an emergency or required under any applicable Legal Requirement, including, but not limited to any health or safety requirements, then prior to any such capital repair, replacement or improvement, the party required to make such maintenance obligation shall deliver written notice to the other party at least seven (7) business days prior to any work and Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith the incurrence and allocation of such expenses, it being expressly understood between the parties that, to the extent consistent with the Minimum Standard, the parties shall endeavor to avoid capital improvements with a useful life in excess of the then-remaining Term. If the parties have not reached agreement on any such expenses within seven (7) days of notice to the other party, then the parties shall select an independent contractor or architect to determine the amounts and work required to bring such item to the Minimum Standard. In the event that such independent contractor or architect cannot or does not make such determination or the parties cannot agree on an independent contractor or architect, the parties agree that Landlord shall have the right to make the final reasonable determination with respect to such matter, and such reasonable decision by Landlord shall be binding upon the parties with respect to this Section 8(c). If after seven (7) business days prior to any work, the party required to approve such work has not responded or objected to the requesting party, then the party required to make such repair or replacement shall be deemed authorized hereunder to complete such repair or replacement without the consent of the other party. If any such capital expenditure benefits the entire Building or the Project, Tenant’s liability for any such obligation shall be limited to Tenant’s Proportionate Share thereof, but without the benefit of any amortization or other mechanism of spreading the costs over time. Any such capital improvements shall require the prior consent of the Landlord and may only be conducted by licensed contractors approved by Landlord.

(d) At the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in as good condition and repair as Tenant is required to maintain the Premises throughout the Term, reasonable wear and tear and casualty damage excepted. All leasehold improvements (other than trade fixtures) shall at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease become Landlord’s property. At any time during the Term, but not later than the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant may at its sole cost remove its trade fixtures and equipment from the Premises. Prior to such removal, Tenant shall present a plan to Landlord addressing such removal and how such removal would comply with all Legal Requirements to the extent that Tenant’s removal activities would implicate any applicable environmental or other Legal Requirements, which such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Tenant does not remove its trade fixtures at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, the trade fixtures shall, at the option of Landlord, become the property of Landlord and may be removed from the Premises and sold or disposed of by Landlord in such manner as it deems advisable without any accounting to Tenant. Upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall repair any damage caused to the Project or any portion thereof by Tenant’s removal of its trade fixtures, personal property, inventory or equipment, provided no such request shall be made unreasonably. For avoidance of doubt, it shall be unreasonable for Landlord to request that Tenant repair damage to a portion of the Project that the Landlord intends to demolish thereafter, instead of occupying or leasing it, except to the extent such repairs are required to be made to ensure Landlord’s compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and all of the leases of other tenants at the Project.

(e) Throughout the Term, Landlord shall provide the following utilities and services, the cost of which is included in the Operating Expenses, to the extent currently provided as of the Effective Date and consistent with the Minimum Standards: (i) water; (ii) maintenance pursuant to Section 8(a) above and electric lighting service for all public or common areas in the Building or Project if such common areas are used by Tenant; (iii) janitorial services and trash removal for the exterior of the Building and common areas, provided that Tenant shall be responsible, at its cost, for janitorial services to, and trash removal, for the Premises; (iv) pest control for the exterior of the Building and common areas, provided that Tenant shall be responsible, at its cost, for pest control in, to and for the Premises; (v) electricity, provided that Tenant shall be responsible, at its cost, for any electricity solely servicing its Premises or equipment and that is separately metered; (vi) wastewater and sewer services; (vii) non-exclusive non-attended automatic passenger elevator service in the Building at all times (24 hours per day, 365 days per year), provided that to the extent any elevator is located solely within Tenant’s Premises or any portion thereof, Tenant shall be responsible for such elevator maintenance and service; (viii) operation of the HVAC in the Building and serving the Premises, subject to Tenant’s obligations under Section 8(b) above; (ix) regular window cleaning consistent with past


practice; and (x) prompt bulb replacement in the common areas. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right from time to time, at Tenant’s sole discretion and upon written notice to Landlord, to cause Landlord to reduce the level of such utilities and services supplied to the Premises, but Landlord shall have no obligation to reduce any levels that could adversely impact other tenant’s, the Building, the Project or any portion thereof. Tenant shall pay to the applicable utility company all gas, electricity, water, and other utility charges applicable to the Premises as separately metered or, if not so metered, as part of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses; provided, however, that Tenant shall have no obligation to install such separate meters, and provided further that if Tenant does elect to meter some or all of the electric usage applicable to the Premises or to Tenant’s equipment, the electric panels and meters will be installed at Tenant’s cost. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Tenant’s operations in the Warehouse Premises will utilize electricity that is above the amounts utilized by the other tenants in the Building. Accordingly, Landlord shall have the right to allocate to Tenant an additional reasonable sum as may be determined in consultation with Tenant, in addition to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses with respect to electricity, which such allocation may be reasonably modified in consultation with Tenant if Tenant’s Premises, or any portion thereof, and/or if Tenant’s press equipment, becomes separately metered.

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary if any of the electricity or water services for which Landlord is responsible are interrupted as a result of Landlord’s negligence for more than twenty-four (24) hours and as a result thereof Tenant is unable to operate a material portion of its printing/production business within all or any portion of the Premises, then Tenant shall provide written notice thereof to Landlord (an “Interruption”). In the event of such Interruption, Landlord and Tenant shall use good faith efforts to decide on a contractor or workman promptly to remedy such Interruption, at Landlord’s reasonable cost and expense.

9. Insurance. Tenant, at its expense, shall maintain (i) a policy of commercial general liability insurance with respect to its activities in the Premises, with premiums thereon fully paid, such insurance to afford minimum protection of not less than $3,000,000.00 combined single limit coverage for bodily injury, property damage, or combination thereof; (ii) insurance on the Premises and Tenant’s personal property, including, without limitation, all furniture, fixtures, goods, machinery, equipment and inventory, against loss by fire, windstorm, flood, water, tropical storm, hurricane, terrorism and theft or other insurable casualty, on an “all risk” form sufficient to provide 100% replacement value of the Premises and such personal property; provided, that in no event shall any such replacement value be deemed to be to a standard other than the Minimum Standard; (iii) business interruption insurance with a limit of liability representing loss of at least approximately six (6) months of income; (iv) workers’ compensation in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements and employers liability with a $1,000,000.00 per accident limit for bodily injury or disease; (v) automobile liability insurance covering all owned, non-owned and hired vehicles (including ground or mobile equipment) used by the Tenant in connection with its operations under this Lease in an amount not less than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage; and (vi) workers’ compensation in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements. Unless otherwise notified in writing by Landlord, Tenant or Guarantor shall also maintain insurance on the Project and the Project Improvements, against loss by fire, windstorm, flood, water, theft or other insurable casualty, on an “all risk” form sufficient to provide 100% replacement value of the Project and the Project Improvements, provided, that (x) in no event shall any such replacement value be deemed to be to a standard other than the Minimum Standard; (y) the cost of the premium for such “all risk” insurance will paid by Landlord to Tenant on a monthly basis (or such other basis as the parties may agree) within 30 days after receipt of Tenant’s invoice therefor, and will thereafter be included as part of the “Operating Expenses” with Tenant only being responsible for Tenant’s Proportionate Share thereof; and (z) such “all-risk” insurance shall name Landlord as an additional named insured. In the event that Landlord notifies Tenant or Guarantor (as the case may be) in writing that the maintenance of such “all risk” insurance is not required by such party, Landlord shall obtain and maintain a replacement “all risk” policy comparable to the policy previously required to be maintained by Tenant or Guarantor, but only if Tenant continues to occupy the Premises. Landlord shall maintain a policy of commercial general liability insurance with respect to its activities on the Project, such insurance to afford minimum protection of not less than $3,000,000.00 combined single limit coverage for bodily injury, property damage, or combination thereof and such other insurance as deemed reasonably necessary by Landlord. Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Landlord’s insurance as part of the Operating Expenses. Tenant’s commercial liability insurance obligations may be satisfied from a combination of a primary insurance policy and an excess liability or umbrella policy, provided that such policy has a minimum policy limit of at least $3,000,000. Each of Landlord and Tenant, and Guarantor, as applicable, (and those persons or entities as such party may from time to time designate) shall be named as an additional insured on the liability insurance policies of the other. All of insurance required under this Section shall (A) be primary and non-contributory, (B) provide for severability of interests, (C) be issued by insurers licensed to do business in the State in which the


Premises are located and which are rated A-:VII or better by Best’s Insurance Reports, and (D) be endorsed to provide that the insurer will endeavor to provide at least thirty (30) days’ prior notification of cancellation or material change in coverage to Landlord. Landlord and Tenant shall deliver on or prior to the Effective Date to the other party a certificate evidencing such coverage and thereafter upon the request of either party.

10. Nonliability; Indemnity. Tenant to the fullest extent permitted by law and as a material part of the consideration to Landlord for this Lease, hereby waives and releases all claims against Landlord and Landlord’s officers, directors, members, managers, parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, representatives and invitees (each, a “Landlord Party”) except to the extent such claims result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Landlord Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tenant or an affiliate of Tenant is the manager of, or providing management services for, the Project or any portion thereof, such party shall not be deemed a “Landlord Party”) for purposes of this Lease. Tenant agrees that except as expressly set forth herein, neither Landlord nor any Landlord Party will be liable for any loss, injury, death or damage to persons, property, or Tenant’s business resulting from theft, acts of God, public enemy, injunction, riot, strike, insurrection, war, terrorism, court order, requisition, order of governmental body or authority, fire, explosion or falling objects; any accident or occurrence in the Premises or any other portion of the Project; any breakage or defect in or failure of utility services to the Premises or any equipment, pipes, sprinklers, wiring, plumbing, HVAC or lighting fixtures of any Building, whether any of the foregoing is foreseen or unforeseen or occurs prior to or after the Effective Date, unless such death, injury, loss, or damage results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Landlord Party. Except for losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses arising as a result of Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord and hold it harmless from and against any and all loss, claims, actions, damages, liability, and expense of any kind whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs at all tribunal levels), whether foreseen or unforeseen and whether occurring prior to or after the Effective Date, arising from any occurrence in, upon, or at the Premises, or the occupancy, use, or improvement by Tenant or its officers, directors, members, managers, parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, representatives or invitees (each a “Tenant Party”) of the Project or any part thereof, or occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of Tenant or any Tenant Party or by anyone permitted to be on the Project or any part thereof by Tenant or any Tenant Party. Except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Tenant Party, Landlord agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless against any and all loss, damage, claim, demand, liability or expense (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees through the trial and appellate levels) by reason of any damage or injury to persons (including death) or property which may arise or claim to have arisen as a result of, or in connection with Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or that of any other Landlord Party. This Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

11. Waiver of Subrogation Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant each hereby waives on behalf of itself and its insurers (none of which shall ever be assigned any such claim or be entitled thereto due to subrogation or otherwise) any and all rights of recovery, claim, action, or cause of action, against the other, its agents, officers, or employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the Premises, or any improvements thereto or the Building of which the Premises are a part, or any improvements thereto, or any personal property of such party therein, by reason of fire, the elements, or any other causes which are, or could or should be insured against under the terms of the property insurance policies referred to in this Lease, regardless of whether such insurance is actually maintained and regardless of the cause or origin of the damage involved, including negligence of the other party hereto, its agents, officers, or employees (except neither party waives any rights in connection with the deductible portion of its property insurance).

12. Improvements; Alterations; Liens.

(a) Tenant acknowledges that prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant has occupied the Premises or portions thereof, Tenant is familiar with the status and condition of the Premises, and Tenant is accepting the Premises in (i) “AS IS, WHERE IS” condition, (ii) without representations or warranties of any kind or nature, whether express or implied, all of which are expressly disclaimed by Landlord, (iii) subject to all applicable zoning, municipal, county and state laws, ordinances and regulations governing and regulating the use of the Premises, (iv) subject to all Permitted Exceptions, and (v) subject to any exclusive uses or prohibited uses set forth in any lease for space in the Project as of the Effective Date, including, without limitation to those certain exclusive uses and prohibitions set forth on Exhibit F attached hereto, and the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease.


(b) No exterior or structural alterations, or alterations affecting the base systems of the Building (including, without limitation, repairs, replacements, additions, or modifications), shall be made by Tenant without Landlord’s written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord’s prior written consent shall not be required with respect to carpeting, wallcovering and painting and other alterations, additions, or improvements which (i) are nonstructural in nature (e.g., do not involve changes to the structural elements of the Building); (ii) do not involve changes to the Building’ systems, including, without limitation, the electrical, plumbing, and HVAC system; and (iii) do not involve changes to the Building exteriors or common areas. Any alterations by Tenant shall be performed at the sole cost of Tenant, by contractors and workers approved by Landlord, in a good and workmanlike manner, and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements.

(c) Tenant shall promptly pay for all materials supplied and work done in respect of the Premises so as to ensure that no lien is recorded against any portion of the Project or against Landlord’s or Tenant’s interest therein. If a lien is so recorded, Tenant shall discharge it within ten (10) days after receipt of notice of such lien by payment or bonding. If any such lien is recorded and not discharged by Tenant as above required, Landlord shall have the right to remove such lien by bonding or payment and the cost thereof shall be paid immediately from Tenant to Landlord. Landlord and Tenant expressly agree and acknowledge that no interest of Landlord in the Project or any portion thereof shall be subject to any lien for improvements made by Tenant in or for the Premises, and Landlord shall not be liable for any lien for any improvements made by Tenant, such liability being expressly prohibited by the terms of this Lease, and Tenant hereby agrees to inform all contractors and material suppliers performing work in or for or supplying materials to the Premises of the existence of said prohibition. In accordance with applicable laws of the State of Florida, Landlord may file in the Public Records of Miami-Dade County, Florida, a public notice containing a true and correct copy of this Section.

13. Common Areas; Parking; Additional Landlord’s Rights.

(a) Tenant and those doing business with Tenant shall have a non-exclusive license to use the common areas of the Project for their intended purposes 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, in common with others entitled thereto and subject to reasonable, non-discriminatory, and uniformly enforced rules and regulations imposed by Landlord and of which Tenant has been given notice and which do not conflict with this Lease or materially interfere with Tenant’s operations on the Premises as currently conducted as of the Effective Date. The common areas are those areas, facilities, utilities, improvements, equipment, and installations of the Project which serve or are for the benefit of the tenants of more than one component of the Project and which are not designated or intended by Landlord to be leased, from time to time, or which are designated or intended to be used solely by Landlord, from time to time, or which are provided or designated from time to time by Landlord for the benefit or use of all tenants on the Project, their employees, customers, and invitees, in common with others entitled to the use or benefit of same, including without limitation (i) any areas in the Building devoted to lobbies, hallways, elevators, rest rooms, janitorial closets, mailrooms, vending areas and other similar facilities provided for the common use or benefit of tenants generally and/or for the public located in the Building (but shall not include any such areas designated for the exclusive use or benefit of a particular tenant); and (ii) all atriums, walkways, parking areas, and all streets, sidewalks and landscaped areas comprising the Project Land designated for common area use consistent with past practice. Landlord shall keep the common areas in the condition as of the Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear and casualty damage excepted. Tenant acknowledges that, subject to the foregoing, all common areas shall at all times be under the exclusive control and management of Landlord.

(b) Subject to all of the terms, provisions, covenants, and conditions contained herein, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use the Parking Spaces at no additional cost to Tenant 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage of any nature whatsoever to, or any theft of, automobiles or other vehicles or the contents thereof, while in or about the Parking Spaces or the Project unless caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Tenant acknowledges that its non-exclusive right to use the Parking Spaces may be subject to such reasonable, non-discriminatory, and uniformly enforced rules and regulations as reasonably imposed by Landlord and of which Tenant has been given notice from time to time and which do not conflict with this Lease or materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Parking Spaces as currently conducted. Upon a reduction in size of the Premises pursuant to the terms of this Lease, Tenant’s Parking Spaces shall be reduced proportionately. If Tenant ceases its operations or use of all of the Premises prior to the Expiration Date, Tenant’s rights (or remaining rights) to any Parking Spaces shall be terminated.


(c) Landlord may alter and construct additional improvements and facilities adjoining or proximate to the Premises, or in, adjoining or proximate to the Building and the Parking Spaces, and do such things about the Premises and on, in or about the Building and the Parking Spaces as required to comply with any Legal Requirements or as may be determined or desired by Landlord, provided that such alterations or construction do not materially interfere with Tenant’s operations on the Premises. In connection with any construction, work, alterations, improvements, repairs or replacements, Landlord may erect at the Project (but not in the Premises) scaffolding and other structures reasonably required for the work to be performed and Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s sole option, to close, perimeter off, pave over, barricade, construct over or take any other action as determined by Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion, with respect to Herald Plaza Drive (a/k/a N.E. Bayshore Place), NE 14th Street lying between Herald Plaza and North Bayshore Drive, any of the right-of-ways or easements on or about the Project and the parking areas (subject to the limitations set forth above and in Section 37 below). No such entry or work will entitle Tenant to an abatement of any amounts due hereunder and subject to the foregoing, no such entry shall constitute an eviction of Tenant, constructive or otherwise; or impose upon Landlord any liability whatsoever, including but not limited to liability for consequential damages or loss of business or profits by Tenant; provided, however, that Landlord shall use good faith efforts to cause all such work to be done in such a manner as to cause as little interference to Tenant as reasonably possible without incurring additional expense. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord’s intent is redevelop the Project, that noise and vibrations may result from the construction or redevelopment of the Project and that Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease for such notice and vibrations.

14. Transfer by Tenant. Tenant shall not enter into, consent to, or permit any Transfer, as hereinafter defined, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 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; a license for any use or occupancy 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, pledge, hypothecation 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; or the occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof by anyone other than Tenant and its employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s consent shall not be required in the event of any Transfer to (a) an entity then owned by, under common control with, or controlled by Tenant, or any entity resulting from the merger or consolidation of Tenant, provided that any such entity acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant’s business that is being conducted on the Premises as of the Effective Date, (b) any person or entity which acquires Tenant or substantially all of the assets of Tenant’s business that is being conducted on the Premises as of the Effective Date, or (c) or any entity owned directly or indirectly by The McClatchy Company, provided that any such entity acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant’s business that is being conducted on the Premises as of the Effective Date; and provided, that in connection with any of the foregoing, such person or entity has a tangible net worth equal to or greater than The McClatchy Company as of the date of the Effective Date (as may be determined with reference to net worth as reflected on audited financial statements, or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Landlord) (a “Creditworthy Transferee”) or such person or entity causes a guaranty to be executed and delivered to Landlord by a Creditworthy Transferee. Notwithstanding any Transfer, neither Tenant nor any Guarantor shall be released from any of its obligations under this Lease, except that to the extent that (i) the transferee expressly assumes in writing all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (ii) the substitute guarantor, if any, expressly assumes in writing all of the Guarantor’s obligations under the Guarantor in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (iii) the transferee or the substitute guarantor is a Creditworthy Transferee (collectively, the “Release Conditions”), then Tenant shall thereupon and without further agreement be released of all further liability under this Lease from and after the date of the satisfaction of the Release Conditions and Guarantor shall thereupon and without further agreement be released from all further liability under the Guaranty from and after the date of the Release Conditions. Except in the event of a Transfer pursuant to clauses (a), (b) or (c) above, no transferee shall be entitled to the zero sum Base Rent and any such transferee shall be required to pay the fair market value of Base Rent as reasonably determined by Landlord. Landlord’s consent to any Transfer shall be subject to the further condition that if the rent pursuant to such Transfer exceeds the rent payable under this Lease, 100% of the amount of such excess shall be paid to Landlord. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with any Transfer by Tenant.

15. Assignment by Landlord. Landlord shall have the unrestricted right to sell, lease, convey, mortgage, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or dispose of all or any portion of the Project and this Lease or any interest of Landlord in this Lease. To the extent that the purchaser or assignee from Landlord assumes the obligations of Landlord under this Lease, Landlord shall thereupon and without further agreement be released of all further liability under this Lease.


16. Quiet Enjoyment. Tenant shall, and may peacefully have, hold, and enjoy the Premises, subject to the other terms hereof, provided that Tenant performs all of Tenant’s covenants and agreements contained herein.

17. Defaults. A default by Tenant shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder, if and whenever: (a) any Base Rent, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses, and/or Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes is not paid within 5 business days of the date that such payment is due; or (b) any other rent is in arrears and is not paid within ten (10) business days after written demand by Landlord; or (c) an Event of Insolvency (as hereinafter defined); or (d) Tenant fails to maintain insurance as required by this Lease; or (e) Tenant has breached any of its obligations in this Lease (other than as specifically enumerated in this Section) and Tenant fails to remedy such breach within thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord (provided, however, that if such default reasonably requires more than thirty (30) days to cure, Tenant shall have a reasonable time to cure such default, provided Tenant commences to cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion. For purposes of this Lease, an “Event of Insolvency” means the occurrence with respect to Tenant or a Guarantor of any of the following: (i) such person becoming insolvent, as that term is defined in Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) or under the insolvency laws of any state (the “Insolvency Laws”); (ii) appointment of a receiver or custodian for any property of such person, or the institution of a foreclosure or attachment action upon any property of such person; (iii) filing by such person of a voluntary petition under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or Insolvency Laws; (iv) filing of an involuntary petition against such person as the subject debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or Insolvency Laws; and/or (v) such person making or consenting to an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a composition of creditors (and in each such event described in clauses (i)-(v), such event is not dismissed within ninety (90) days). At any time upon not less than five (5) days’ prior written notice, Tenant shall submit such information concerning the financial condition of any such person as Landlord may request. Tenant warrants that all such information heretofore and hereafter submitted is and shall be correct and complete.

18. 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 and retake possession of the Premises for Landlord’s account, or may terminate Tenant’s right to possession (without terminating this Lease), for the account of Tenant. In either event, Tenant shall then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord. 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.

(b) 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. 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 applicable law.

(c) If Tenant’s right to possession is terminated (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.

(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 reasonable good faith judgment. Landlord shall be under no obligation to relet or to attempt to relet the Premises.

(e) If Tenant’s right to possession is terminated (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 as published in the Wall Street Journal). If Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion, relets the Premises and 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 (including, without limitation, brokerage commissions and reasonable attorneys’ fees), 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 enter upon the Premises for such purposes. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage caused by acts of Landlord in remedying or attempting to remedy such default except as and to the extent such damage is caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord all expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with remedying or 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 Default Rate.

19. Costs. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs at all tribunal levels, incurred by Landlord in enforcing any of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, subject to the provisions of Section 29 below. In addition, upon any default by Tenant, Tenant shall also be liable to Landlord for the actual and reasonable expenses to which Landlord may be put in Landlord’s required or reasonably necessary actions to reclaim the Premises, re-enter the Premises; repossess the Premises; paint, alter, or divide the Premises; combine the Premises with an adjacent space for any new tenant; put the Premises in proper repair to the Minimum Standard; protect and preserve the Premises by placing watchmen and caretakers therein; and relet the Premises (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, marshall’s fees, and brokerage fees, in so doing).

20. 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 of Landlord 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.

21. Default by Landlord. In the event of any default by Landlord, which default continues for a period of more than thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Tenant specifying such default (except in case of emergency in which case no notice shall be required or unless a shorter or longer cure period for a Landlord default is otherwise provided for in this Lease), or if such default requires more than thirty (30) days for remedy, then if Landlord fails to commence curing such default within the thirty (30) day period or fails to thereafter diligently continue curing such default until completion, then Tenant, in addition to all other rights or remedies which Tenant is entitled to under this Lease, at law or in equity, may, at its option, incur any reasonable expense necessary to perform the obligation of Landlord. If Tenant incurs any actual and reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right, subject to Section 29 below, to be reimbursed by Landlord for such actual and reasonable costs within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the applicable invoices and such other back-up information as Landlord may reasonably request evidencing the actual and reasonable costs incurred for such matter. In the event that Landlord does not reimburse Tenant within such time period, Landlord shall be required to pay interest on such actual and reasonable costs and expenses at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease, none of Landlord or any Landlord Party shall 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 Building, and in no event shall any deficiency judgment be sought or obtained against Landlord. In no event shall Landlord be liable for indirect, consequential, or punitive damages or for damages based on lost profits.

22. Notices. Any notice to be given by either party shall be effective only if delivered by certified mail, return receipt requested, by hand delivery, by facsimile transmission, or by nationally recognized overnight courier service, to the parties’ respective addresses set forth in the preamble to this Lease, with a copy of such notice to Landlord being sent to Akerman Senterfitt, One SE Third Avenue, 25th Floor, Miami, Florida 33131, Attention: Richard M. Bezold, facsimile no.: 305-374-5095 and a copy of such notice to Tenant being sent to c/o The

Any notice sent by facsimile transmission shall be deemed effectively given or received on the day of transmission of such notice and confirmation of such transmission and any notice sent by hand delivery nationally recognized overnight courier service shall be effective upon receipt or refusal of delivery. Once Tenant has taken occupancy of the Premises, any notice from Landlord to Tenant shall be effective if delivered to the Premises address in the manner provided in this Section. Either party may alter its address by written notice to the other party as provided herein.

23. Rules and Regulations; Environmental. During the Term, Tenant shall abide by all reasonable, non-discriminatory, and uniformly enforced rules and regulations pertaining to the Premises which are imposed by Landlord and of which Tenant has been given notice and which do not conflict with this Lease or materially interfere with Tenant’s operations on the Premises as currently conducted. The rules and regulations as of the date hereof are attached hereto and made part hereof as Exhibit E. In the event that any such rules or regulations are amended from time to time, or that any new rules or regulations are promulgated, Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Tenant will not be liable for compliance with such rules unless and until it has received written notice thereof. Tenant warrants and represents that it will not use or employ Landlord’s and/or the Project property, facilities, equipment, or services to handle, transport, store, treat, or dispose of any hazardous waste or hazardous substance, whether or not it was generated or produced on the Premises, except in compliance with Legal Requirements; and, Tenant further warrants and represents that any activity on or relating to the Premises shall be conducted in full compliance with all applicable environmental Legal Requirements. Tenant agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Landlord against any and all claims, costs, expenses, damages, liability, and the like, which Landlord may hereafter be liable for, suffer, incur, or pay arising under any applicable environmental Legal Requirements and resulting from or arising out of any breach of the warranties and representations contained in this Section, or out of any act, activity, or violation of any applicable environmental Legal Requirements on the part of Tenant, its agents, employees, or assigns, except as and to the extent caused by the acts or omissions, gross negligence, or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Party. Tenant’s liability under this Section shall survive the expiration or any termination of this Lease. For purposes hereof, “Mold” is defined as the indoor presence or growth of mold, mildew, fungus and/or the presence of materials containing any of them. Tenant understands and acknowledges that the Premises are located in a region with a climate that is conducive to the growth of Mold. Tenant further understands and acknowledges that maintaining an acceptable indoor environment is an ongoing effort and that changes in occupancy, remodeling, maintenance procedures, and many other factors can have a significant effect on an indoor environment. It is Tenant’s responsibility to keep the Premises clean, dry, well-ventilated and free of contamination. Tenant must promptly after discovery report to Landlord any leaks, moisture or water intrusion, and any damage to or defect in the plumbing or HVAC system. Any remediation or repairs required as a result of moisture or Mold must be performed by skilled professionals who are properly licensed and insured and approved by Landlord in its reasonable judgment. Additionally, any remediation or repairs performed regarding the presence of moisture or Mold in the Premises shall be performed in accordance with the OSHA’s Guide to Mold in the Workplace or such other industry-standard as approved by Landlord in its reasonable judgment. Landlord shall have the right to inspect the Premises to determine their existing condition and whether Tenant is complying with the all of the terms contained hereinabove. If Tenant fails to comply with the provisions contained herein, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy which Landlord may have by reason of such breach or default, perform any of Tenant’s obligations on behalf of Tenant in such manner as Landlord shall reasonably see fit, including payment of any moneys necessary to perform such obligation or obtain legal advice, and all expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the foregoing, as well as any other amounts necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment caused by Tenant’s failure to perform which in the ordinary course would be likely to result therefrom, shall be immediately due and payable from Tenant to Landlord, with interest at the highest rate permitted by law. Such performance by Landlord shall not cure the breach or default of Tenant hereunder and Landlord may proceed to pursue any or all remedies available to Landlord on account of Tenant’s breach or default. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable at any time to Tenant, or to those claiming by, through or under Tenant, for any claim for loss of life, bodily or personal injury personal property damage, damage to property or business, advertising injury, or for business interruption or relocation expense and/or any other claim arising out of and/or caused directly or indirectly by the actual, alleged or threatened existence, discharge, dispersal, transmission, migration, release, or exposure to any hazardous substances by Tenant or any other tenant of the Project or to any Mold, at any time now or hereafter found within, upon and/or about the Premises or the Building, regardless of the cause thereof, except for any negligence by Landlord, that contributes concurrently or in any sequence to the loss or damage.


24. Casualty Damage.

(a) Except as provided below in Section 24(b), if the Building is damaged by fire or other casualty to the extent of more than fifteen percent (15%) of its then replacement cost to the Minimum Standard, or if such damage cannot be repaired within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the event causing the damage, Landlord shall have the right to (i) cause the damage to be repaired with due diligence to at least the Minimum Standard or (ii) terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of the event causing such damage. In the event Landlord repairs the Building pursuant to clause (i) above, Landlord shall have the right to use all applicable insurance proceeds awarded to, and actually received by, Landlord, and shall have no obligation to pay or contribute any additional amounts to cause such repairs to occur beyond such insurance proceeds received therefor.

(b) If the Warehouse is damaged by fire or other casualty to the extent of more than fifteen percent (15%) of its then replacement cost to the Minimum Standard, of if such damage cannot be repaired within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the event causing the damage, Landlord or Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease by written notice to the other party within thirty (30) days after the date of the event causing such damage. If the Warehouse is damaged by fire or other casualty to the extent of fifteen percent (15%) or less of the then replacement cost to the Minimum Standard or if neither party terminates pursuant to the foregoing sentence, Landlord shall cause the damage to be repaired so that the Warehouse is in a useable condition, but in any event shall not be required to make any repairs that exceed the Minimum Standard; provided, however, that Landlord shall only be required to repair the Warehouse to the extent of the amount of insurance proceeds awarded to, and actually received by, Landlord. In the event that the insurance proceeds are insufficient to bring the Warehouse to the Minimum Standard, Tenant shall be obligated to pay the balance of the costs to bring the Warehouse to at least the Minimum Standard within thirty (30) days of demand therefor. If all or any part of the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty and the fire or other casualty is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, guests or invitees, Tenant shall have no termination rights under this Section 24 (b).

(c) If Landlord is obligated, or exercises its election to repair, restore or replace the improvements, it shall proceed with due diligence, and at its sole cost and expense, to make such repairs, restoration or replacement in such manner as to at least the Minimum Standard, excluding therefrom improvements or betterments to the Premises constructed or installed by Tenant or at Tenant’s direction. In no event shall Landlord be required to repair, restore or replace the items constructed or installed by Tenant or at Tenant’s direction. All property of Tenant and all property kept, stored or maintained in or upon the Premises, adjacent sidewalks, loading areas or other common areas shall be at the sole risk of Tenant. In determining “due diligence,” consideration shall be given to matters of force majeure.

(d) If Landlord’s mortgagee requires the insurance proceeds to be applied to the payment of its mortgage debt or if the Lease is terminated pursuant to this Section 24, Tenant shall deliver vacant possession of the Premises as promptly as practicable in accordance with the terms of this Lease. In the event that Landlord proceeds with repairing the Premises pursuant to this Section 24, upon being notified by Landlord that Landlord’s repairs have been substantially completed, Tenant shall diligently perform all other work required to fully restore the Premises to the Minimum Standard for use in Tenant’s business, in every case at Tenant’s cost and without any contribution to such cost by Landlord, whether or not Landlord has at any time made any contribution to the cost of supply, installation, or construction of leasehold improvements in the Premises. Tenant agrees that during any period of reconstruction or repair of the Premises, it will continue the operation of its business within the Premises to the extent reasonably practicable. If all or any part of the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, the Operating Expenses shall not abate.

25. Condemnation.

(a) If any part of the Premises shall be taken by eminent domain or condemned for a public or quasi-public use (or any transfers made in lieu thereof) and a part thereof remains which is suitable for the use contemplated pursuant to this Lease so that there is no material interference with Tenant’s operations in the Premises, (i) this Lease shall, as to the part so taken, terminate as of the date title shall be taken by the condemnor, and the rent payable hereunder shall be adjusted so that Tenant shall be required to pay for the remainder of the Term only such portion of the rent as the value of the part remaining after the condemnation bears to the whole of the Premises immediately before the date of condemnation or (ii) at Landlord’s or Tenant’s option, the entire Lease shall terminate and the Tenant shall deliver vacant possession of the Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease. If all of the


Premises shall be taken or condemned, or so much thereof that the use by Tenant shall be materially impaired, this Lease shall terminate as of the date title shall be taken by the condemnor and the rent herein reserved shall be apportioned and paid in full by Tenant to Landlord to that date and all rent prepaid for periods beyond that date shall forthwith be repaid by Landlord to Tenant.

(b) Tenant shall have the right to make a claim against the condemning authority for its unamortized cost of leasehold improvements installed after the Effective Date to the extent paid for by Tenant, its movable fixtures and its relocation benefits (“Tenant’s Property”). Subject to the foregoing, Landlord shall be entitled to claim and have paid to it for the use and benefit of Landlord all compensation and damages for and on account of or arising out of such taking or condemnation, without deduction from the amount thereof for and on account of any right, title, interest or estate of Tenant in or to the Premises or matter relating thereto. Other than the Tenant’s Property, Tenant expressly waives all its rights to just compensation for the taking of its leasehold interest.

26. Estoppel Certificate. Within ten (10) business days after written request by either party, the other party shall deliver an estoppel certificate as to the status of this Lease, including whether this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified and identifying the modification agreements); the amount of Base Rent and additional rent then being paid and the dates to which same have been paid; whether or not there is any existing or alleged default by either party with respect to which a notice of default has been served, or any facts exist which, with the passing of time or giving of notice, would constitute a default and, if there is any such default or facts, specifying the nature and extent thereof; and any other matters pertaining to this Lease as to which Landlord shall request such certificate. The requesting party, and any prospective purchaser, lender, or ground lessor shall have the right to rely on such certificate.

27. Subordination; Attornment. Upon request, Tenant shall agree to subordinate this Lease and its rights under this Lease to any and all mortgages, security agreements, or like documents resulting from any financing, refinancing, or collateral financing (including renewals or extensions thereof), and to any and all ground leases, made or arranged by Landlord of its interests in all or any part of the Project, and to all advances made under such documents, by a document in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Tenant, Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagee, lender or ground lessor effecting such subordination on customary terms, including, without limitation, that as a condition to such subordination, the holder of such instrument shall be required to simultaneously deliver to Tenant a non-disturbance agreement recognizing this Lease and Tenant’s leasehold interest to the Premises.

28. Time; Force Majeure. Time is of the essence of this Lease. However, whenever a period of time is herein prescribed for the taking of any action by Landlord or Tenant, then Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, shall not be liable or responsible for, and there shall be excluded from the computation of such period of time, any delays due to strikes, riots, acts of God, shortages of labor or materials, war, terrorism, Legal Requirements, or any other cause whatsoever beyond the control of Landlord or Tenant, as applicable.

29. Attorneys’ Fees; Venue. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in the event of any litigation between Landlord and Tenant arising out of this Lease or Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and expenses incurred in such litigation, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, at all levels, including appeals. Any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease shall be instituted in a court (federal or state) located in Miami-Dade County, Florida, which shall be the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for litigation concerning this Lease.

30. Miscellaneous. The paragraph and section headings in this Lease are inserted for convenience of reference and in no way define, describe, or limit the scope or intent of this Lease or any of the provisions hereof. No waiver, modification, amendment, discharge, or change of this Lease shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by the party against which the enforcement of such modification, waiver, amendment, discharge, or change is sought. This Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns. This Lease contains the entire agreement between the parties relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations, or statements, oral or written, are superseded hereby. Any provision of this Lease which is unenforceable or invalid or the inclusion of which would adversely affect the validity, legality, or enforcement of this Lease shall be of no effect, but all the remaining provisions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. This Lease may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same Lease. Executed copies of this Lease transmitted by facsimile or email will


be deemed originals. This Lease shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Florida. Tenant shall not have the right to record a memorandum of this Lease in the office of the Miami-Dade County Recorder. Florida law requires the following notice to be provided with respect to the contract for sale and purchase of any building, or a rental agreement for any building: “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 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 health department.” Nothing in this Lease creates any relationship between the parties other than that of lessor and lessee and nothing in this Lease constitutes Landlord a partner of Tenant or a joint venturer or member of a common enterprise with Tenant.

31. Brokerage. Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant one to the other that neither of them has employed any broker in connection with the negotiations of the terms of this Lease or the execution thereof. Tenant and Landlord each represents and warrants that there are no lease brokerage agreements, leasing commission or other agreements providing for payments of any amounts for leasing activities or procuring tenants or subtenants with respect to the Project outstanding as of the Commencement Date and there are no leasing commissions or brokerage fees accrued or due and payable in connection with any of the foregoing. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to indemnify and to hold each other harmless against any loss, expense, or liability (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) with respect to any claims for commissions or brokerage fees arising from or out of any breach of the foregoing representation and warranty.

32. Holdover. Tenant has no right to retain possession of the Premises or any part thereof beyond the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant expressly acknowledges that it understands that any failure by Tenant to not vacate the Premises on the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Lease will result in material damages and irreparable harm to Landlord. Further, Tenant acknowledges that if Tenant fails to surrender the Premises or any portion thereof at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, then it will be conclusively presumed that the value to Tenant of remaining in possession, and the loss that will be suffered by Landlord as a result thereof, far exceed the Base Rent and additional rent that would have been payable had the Term continued during any holdover by Tenant. As a result, the parties agree that in the event Tenant does not vacate and surrender the Premises on or prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease that in addition to all rights and remedies at law and in equity, (a) Landlord shall be entitled to injunctive relief (whether preliminary, temporary or permanent) as one appropriate remedy for a breach or threatened breach thereof and in which case, no bond or other security shall be required for an injunction and Landlord shall not be required to prove special damages or inadequacy of any available remedies at law; (b) the Base Rent, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes payable hereunder shall be increased to the greater of (i) fair market rent for the entire Premises in existence as of the Effective Date (regardless of whether Tenant has previously vacated or surrendered any portions thereof) and all other obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall continue to apply and (ii) two hundred percent (200%) of such rent applicable during the month immediately preceding such expiration or earlier termination and all other obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall continue to apply. Nothing contained herein or the acceptance of any amounts from Tenant shall be construed as a consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and each Landlord Party harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, losses, damages, obligations, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred or suffered by Landlord and/or any Landlord Party by reason of Tenant’s failure to surrender the Premises on the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease in accordance with the provisions of this Lease.

33. OFAC Compliance/Patriot Act. Each of Landlord and Tenant represents and warrants to the other that (a) neither such party nor any person or entity that directly or indirectly owns an interest in it nor any of its officers, directors, or managing members is a person or entity (each, a “Prohibited Person”) with whom U.S. persons or entities are restricted from doing business under regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) of the Department of the Treasury (including those named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons List) or under any statute, executive order (including Executive Order 13224 (the “Executive Order”) signed on September 24, 2001 and entitled “Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism”), or other governmental action, (b) such party’s activities do not violate the International Money Laundering Abatement and Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001 or the regulations or orders promulgated thereunder (as amended from time to time, the “Money Laundering Act”) (i.e., Title III of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “Patriot Act”), and (c) throughout the Term of this Lease, such party shall comply with the Executive Order, the Money Laundering Act, and the Patriot Act.

 


34. WAIVERS BY TENANT. TENANT EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL OF THE FOLLOWING: (A) THE REQUIREMENT UNDER SECTION 83.12 OF THE FLORIDA STATUTES THAT THE PLAINTIFF IN A DISTRESS FOR RENT ACTION FILE A BOND PAYABLE TO TENANT IN AT LEAST DOUBLE THE SUM DEMANDED BY THE PLAINTIFF, IT BEING UNDERSTOOD THAT NO BOND SHALL BE REQUIRED IN ANY SUCH ACTION; AND (B) THE RIGHT OF TENANT TO RECEIVE 3 DAYS’ WRITTEN NOTICE REQUIRING THE PAYMENT OF RENT OR POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES UNDER SECTION 83.20 OF THE FLORIDA STATUTES. TENANT FURTHER EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM FOR DAMAGES AGAINST LANDLORD WHICH IT MAY HAVE BASED UPON ANY ASSERTION THAT LANDLORD HAS UNREASONABLY WITHHELD OR UNREASONABLY DELAYED ANY CONSENT OF LANDLORD. TENANT AGREES THAT ITS SOLE REMEDY SHALL BE AN ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE ANY SUCH PROVISION REQUIRING THE LANDLORD’S CONSENT BY SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE, INJUNCTION OR DECLARATORY JUDGMENT.

35. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. LANDLORD AND TENANT EACH HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY ISSUE OR CONTROVERSY ARISING UNDER THIS LEASE.

36. Reduction Space. Tenant agrees throughout the Term to cooperate to a commercially reasonable extent with the Landlord, at Landlord’s request, to consolidate and reduce the size of the Premises in order to permit the Landlord to utilize the maximum amount of space at the Project for its own projects and development or third party leases, so long as such consolidation and reduction does not in Tenant’s judgment interfere with the business operations of the Tenant (the “Reduction”). In the event of a Reduction, the Base Rent shall not be reduced and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes shall be reduced proportionately. Additionally, in the event that Tenant requests to eliminate or reduce the size of its Premises during the Term, (i) Tenant shall provide Landlord with at least ninety (90) days prior written notice of such request with a description of the proposed reduction space (the “Reduction Space”), (ii) Landlord shall have the right to approve the Reduction Space, which such Reduction Space shall be subject to Landlord’s written approval, which Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold provided that the Reduction Space is not irregular in shape, allows safe or otherwise appropriate means of ingress and egress and complies with all Legal Requirements and (iii) if Landlord approves such Reduction Space, then the Base Rent and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes shall be reduced proportionately by the size of the Reduction Space.

37. Relocation. Landlord shall be entitled to cause Tenant to relocate from all or any portion of the Parking Spaces to a space or spaces located anywhere within a two thousand (2,000) foot radius from the Premises at any time during the Term upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice (a “Parking Relocation”). If such Parking Relocation occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date and is outside the Project, Landlord shall be responsible for the costs, fees and expenses of the Parking Relocation incurred by Tenant (which may include, but is not limited to, parking rent incurred by Tenant and the regular shuttle service from the replacement parking area to the Premises) through the first anniversary of the Effective Date; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be liable for a portion of the costs for such Parking Relocation equal to the amount by which Tenant’s liability for Operating Expenses and Taxes is reduced as a result of such Parking Relocation. In either event, any Parking Relocation shall not terminate or otherwise affect or modify this Lease except that from and after the date of such relocation, the “Parking Spaces” shall refer to the relocation space into which Tenant has been moved (if such relocation space is located on the Project), rather than the original Parking Spaces as herein defined. Landlord shall not be in breach of its covenants for quiet enjoyment or liable for any loss, costs, or damages, whether direct or indirect, incurred by Tenant due to any of the foregoing.

38. Off-Site Relocation Deposit. Simultaneously herewith, the Landlord has deposited pursuant to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement among Landlord, Guarantor and Richwood, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Escrow Agent (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) the Relocation Deposit (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). For as long as all or any portion of the Relocation Deposit shall be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent, then Landlord shall have the right to utilize the Relocation Deposit and any portion thereof as security for the performance by Tenant of all its obligations under this Lease and if Tenant defaults in any of its obligations under this Lease, which default is not cured within fifteen (15) business days after written notice by


Landlord of its intention to apply all or a portion of the Relocation Deposit as provided below , Landlord may at its option, but without prejudice to any other rights which Landlord may have, apply all or part o f the Relocation Deposit to compensate Landlord for any loss, damage, or expense sustained by Landlord as a result of such default.

Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of: (a) any right to require Bayfront to proceed against or exhaust any security held from MHMC or any other person; (b) any right to require Bayfront to proceed against MHMC or any other person or to pursue any other remedy before proceeding against Guarantor; (c) the defense of any statute of limitation in any action under or related to this Guaranty or the Transaction Documents; (d) any right or defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of MHMC, Guarantor or any other person and (e) any right or defense arising by reason of the absence, impairment, modification, limitation, destruction or cessation (in bankruptcy, by an election of remedies, or otherwise) of the liability of MHMC, of the subrogation rights of Guarantor or of the right of Guarantor to proceed against MHMC for reimbursement.

4. Until all of MHMC’s obligations under each of the Transaction Documents are fully paid and all of MHMC’s obligations performed, Guarantor: (a) shall have no right of subrogation against MHMC by reason of any payments or acts of performance by Guarantor under this Guaranty; and (b) subordinates any liability or indebtedness of MHMC now or hereafter held by Guarantor to the obligations of MHMC under, arising out of or related to (i) the Lease or MHMC’s use or occupancy of the Premises (as defined in the Lease), as “Tenant”), or (ii) the Management Agreement or MHMC’s use or control over the Property (as defined in the Management Agreement), as “Manager”.

5. This Guaranty and the liability of the Guarantor shall in no way be impaired or affected by any assignment which may be made of either of the Transaction Documents, or any subletting under the Lease, or by any extension(s) of the payment of any rental or any other sums provided to be paid by MHMC, or by any forbearance or delay in enforcing any terms, conditions, covenants, or provisions of the Transaction Documents or any amendment, modification or revision of the Transaction Documents, except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents.

6. No action or proceeding brought or instituted under this Guaranty against the Guarantor, and no recovery had in pursuance thereof, shall be a bar or defense to any further action or proceeding which may be brought under this Guaranty by reason of any further default or defaults of MHMC.

7.

8. The liability of Guarantor and all rights, powers and remedies of Bayfront hereunder and under any other agreement now or at any time hereafter in force between Bayfront and Guarantor relating to the Transaction Documents shall be cumulative and not alternative and such rights, powers and remedies shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to Bayfront by law.

9. There shall be no modification of the provisions of this Guaranty unless the same be in writing and signed by the Guarantor and Bayfront.

10. All of the terms, agreements and conditions of this Guaranty shall extend to and be binding upon all parties hereto, their heirs, devisees, legatees, executors, administrators, representatives, successors and assigns. Bayfront may, without notice, assign this Guaranty in whole or in part.

11. If either party hereto brings any action to enforce rights under this Guaranty, whether judicial, administrative or otherwise, the prevailing party in that action shall be entitled to recover from the losing party all fees and court costs incurred, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether such costs and fees are incurred out of court, at trial, on appeal, or in any bankruptcy proceeding.

12. If any term or provision of this Guaranty, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Guaranty, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Guaranty shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

13. This Guaranty and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto are governed by the laws of the State of Florida.

14. The execution of this Guaranty prior to the execution of either of the Transaction Documents shall not invalidate this Guaranty or lessen the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder.

Pittsburgh, PA 15222-2603

Attn: Vice President of Corporate Real Estate

RE: One Herald Plaza Lease Termination

Dear Sir or Madam,

Reference is made to that certain Lease Agreement dated as of March 9, 2009, as amended by that certain letter agreement dated as of November 16, 2010 (as so amended, the “Lease”) between The McClatchy Company, as Landlord, and Brown Mackie College-Miami, Inc., as Tenant.

Landlord has entered into a purchase agreement to convey the Property to an unrelated third party, and Landlord, in connection with such conveyance, will be relocating substantially all of its business operations from the Property. This transaction is confidential and should not be disclosed by Tenant to any third party until public disclosure has been made by Landlord.

Accordingly, this letter is to provide Tenant with written notice of Landlord’s intention to terminate the Lease effective as of September 30, 2012, which is the end of the third (3rd) Lease Year, pursuant to the provisions of Section 33.21(a) of the Lease.

Please let me know if you have any questions concerning this letter.

Very truly yours,

        Karole Morgan-Prager

FORM OF PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT


SCHEDULE 4.1(c)

Pursuant to the provisions of that certain U.S. Government Lease for Real Property dated October 1, 2009, between The McClatchy Company (“Lessor”) and the United States of America, specifically the United States Coast Guard (“Government”), Lessor is required to notify the Government at least 30 days prior to any transfer of ownership of the subject property. No such notification has been given.


SCHEDULE 4.1(e)

Brown Mackie has occupied approximately 100 non-exclusive parking spaces in excess of the parking spaces identified in the Brown Mackie Lease on an informal and unwritten month-to-month basis revocable basis. Brown Mackie has also occupied, from time to time, certain spaces on the interior of the Building in excess of the premises defined in the Brown Mackie Lease on an informal, revocable basis.

Seller receives a monthly payment of approximately $234.25 from either WQAM or Beasley Reed Broadcasting of Miami, but the Seller does not have knowledge as to why it receives such payment or whether there is any agreement regarding such payment with WQAM or Beasley Reed Broadcasting of Miami.


SCHEDULE 4.1(h)

 

1. Any violations resulting from the repairs and alterations that may be required to be made to the Property and any improvements thereon pursuant to that certain City of Miami General Fire Evacuation Drill Report dated December 7, 2010.

 

2. Any violations resulting from the failure to timely perform the 40-year recertification for that portion of the Property commonly known as the Boulevard Shops, located at 1401 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, Florida.


SCHEDULE 4.1(n)

 

1.

On June 9, 2006, KnightRidder, Inc. and Miami Herald Publishing Company submitted an application for a Major Use Special Permit (the “MUSP”) for certain portions of the Property, located at approximately 1431-1451 North Bayshore Drive and 425 NE 13th Street, Miami, Florida. The MUSP was approved by the City of Miami on June 30, 2006. The permit to building the proposed project in accordance with the MUSP was valid for 2 years, unless renewed or extended. Although renewals and extensions were initially requested and granted, it appears from the public records that the MUSP expired on September 7, 2010 and no one has filed to renew it further.

 

2. There have been prior negotiations between the City of Miami (the “City”) and Mark Siffin (“Siffin”) with respect to Siffin, as a potential developer of the Property, obtaining the rights to build a media tower on a portion of the Property. As part of that negotiation, and in connection with that certain ordinance that was adopted by the City to allow media towers, the City was requiring a development agreement to be entered into between the City, Siffin and Seller. That development agreement was never executed since (i) the Seller never agreed to its terms, (ii) Siffin never obtained a media tower permit and (iii) Siffin no longer has any contractual rights to purchase the Property. As such, there is no development agreement in place that affects this property and to Seller’s knowledge, there are no current negotiations taking place between the City and Siffin.
