REVOCABLE LICENSE AGREEMENT
This Revocable License Agreement ("Agreement") is made this day of
2001, between the City of Miami (the "City") a municipal corporation of the
State of Florida and New Arena Square North & South Ltd., a for profit limited
partnership organized under the laws of the State of Florida (the "Licensee").
NOW, THEREFORE, in order to carry out the intent as expressed herein and in
consideration of the mutual agreements subsequently contained, the City and Licensee
agree as follows:
1. PURPOSE.
The City is the owner of real property and improvements thereon at 1490 NW 3rd
Avenue, Miami, Florida, also known as the Overtown Shopping Center (the "Property").
The City has determined that approximately 1,167 square feet of space within the Property
(the "Area") commonly known as Space 110, which is depicted in Exhibit "A" attached
hereto and made a part hereof, is not needed at this time by any of the City's offices or
departments. The City has expressed its desire to assist the Licensee in accomplishing its
purpose and in furtherance thereof authorizes the Licensee to occupy and use the Area
under the conditions hereinafter set forth. The use of the Area is strictly limited for its
administrative offices to provide support for its development practices, and is not to be
used for any other purpose whatsoever (the "Permitted Use"). Any use of the Area not
authorized under the Permitted Use must receive the prior written consent of the City
Manager. This consent can be withheld for any or no reason, including, but not limited to
additional financial consideration.
2. OCCUPANCY AND USE PERIOD.
This Agreement shall commence on the date upon which the City Manager executes
this Agreement (the "Effective Date") and shall continue until the first to occur of the
following:
a) cancellation or termination by the express written agreement of the parties
hereto; or
01- 269
b) cancellation or termination by request of any of the parties hereto, subject to
the notice provisions of "Cancellation By Request of Either of The Parties Without
Cause", and "Termination By City Manager For Cause".
3. CONTINUOUS DUTY TO OPERATE
Licensee, at all times during Licensee's use of the Area shall: (i) occupy the
Area upon the Effective Date and shall thereafter continuously conduct operations in the
Area in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (ii) maintain an active status as a
general and limited partnership; and (iii) from time to time, furnish the City with current
disclosure information with respect to the identity of the general and limited partners of
Licensee's partnership.
4. INTEREST CONFERRED BY THIS AGREEMENT.
Licensee agrees that this Agreement has been issued by the City to authorize
Licensee to occupy the Area solely for the limited purpose of operating its office operations
therein and no other purpose. The parties hereby agree that the provisions of this
Agreement do not constitute a lease and the rights of Licensee hereunder are not those of a
tenant but are a mere personal privilege to do certain acts of a temporary character and to
otherwise use the Area subject to the terms of this Agreement. No leasehold interest in the
Area is conferred upon Licensee under the provisions hereof and Licensee does not and
shall not claim at any time any leasehold estate or ownership interest in the Area by virtue
of this Agreement or its use of the Area hereunder. Additionally, Licensee does not and
shall not claim at any time any interest or estate of any kind or extent whatsoever in the
Area by virtue of any expenditure of funds by the Licensee for improvements, construction,
repairs, partitions or alterations to the Area which may be authorized by the City.
5. MONTHLY FEE.
In consideration for this Agreement, Licensee agrees to pay to the City for the use of
the Area the rate of $6.50 per square foot for a Monthly Fee in the amount of Six Hundred
Thirty Two and 13/100 Dollars ($632.13) plus State Use Tax, if applicable, which shall be
paid in advance and in full on the first day of each month, without notice or demand (the
"Monthly Fee"). Payments shall be made payable to "City of Miami" and shall be mailed to
2 01- 269
444 S.W. 2nd Avenue, 6th Floor, Finance Department, Miami, Florida 33130, or such other
address as may be designated from time to time.
6. LATE FEE.
In the event any installment of the Monthly Fee is not received by the City within
five (5) days after it becomes due, Licensee shall pay to City a late charge of ten percent
(10%) of the amount due. Such late fee shall constitute additional fees due and payable to
City by Licensee upon the date of payment of the delinquent payment referenced above.
Acceptance of such late charge by City shall not, constitute a waiver of Licensee's violations
with respect to such overdue amount nor prevent City from the pursuit of any remedy to
which City may otherwise be entitled.
7. RETURNED CHECK FEE.
In the event any check is returned to the City as uncollectible, the Licensee shall
pay to City a returned check fee (the "Returned Check Fee") based on the following
schedule:
Returned Amount Returned Check Fee
$00.01 - 50.00 $20.00
$50.01 - 300.00 $30.00
$300.01 - 800.00 $40.00
OVER $800 5% of the returned amount.
Such returned check fee shall constitute additional fees due and payable, to City by
Licensee, upon the date of payment of the delinquent payment referenced above.
Acceptance of such returned check fee by City shall, in no event, constitute a waiver of
Licensee's violations with respect to such overdue amount nor prevent City from the
pursuit of any remedy to which City may otherwise be entitled.
8. SECURITY DEPOSIT.
Licensee shall deposit with City the sum of One Thousand Eight Hundred Ninety
Six and 39/100 dollars ($1,896.39) (the "Security") as guarantee for the full and faithful
performance by Licensee of all obligations of Licensee under this Agreement or in
3 01- 269
connection with this Agreement. Licensee shall pay the Security Deposit commencing on
the Effective Date of this Agreement along with the Monthly Use Fee payment due on the
first of the month. If Licensee is in violation (as provided in "Termination by City Manager
For Cause") beyond any applicable notice or cure period, the City may use, apply or retain
all or any part of the Security for the payment of (i) any fee or other sum of money which
Licensee was obligated to pay but did not pay, (ii) any sum expended by City on Licensee's
behalf in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or (iii) any sum which City may
expend or be required to expend as a result of Licensee's violation. Should the City use,
apply or retain all or any part of the Security, the Licensee shall reimburse the amounts
used, applied or retained within thirty (30) days of written notice by City. The use,
application or retention of the Security or any portion thereof by City shall not prevent City
from exercising any other right or remedy provided for under this Agreement or at law and
shall not limit any recovery to which City may be entitled otherwise.
Provided Licensee is not in violation of this Agreement, the Security or balance
thereof, as the case may be, shall be returned to Licensee upon the termination of this
Agreement or upon any later date after which Licensee has vacated the Area in the same
condition or better as existed on the Effective Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
Upon the return of the Security (or balance thereof) to the Licensee, City shall be
completely relieved of liability with respect to the Security. Licensee shall not be entitled
to receive any interest on the Security.
9. INCREASE OF SECURITY DEPOSIT
If Licensee is in default under this Agreement more than two (2) times within any
twelve (12) month period, irrespective of whether or not such default is cured, then,
without limiting City's other rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement or at law
or equity, the Security shall automatically be increased by three (3) times the Security then
in place. This increase shall be paid by Licensee to City forthwith on demand.
10. ADJUSTMENT TO MONTHLY FEE, LATE FEE, AND SECURITY DEPOSIT
Commencing twelve months from the Effective Date, or on the first day of the
following month if the Effective Date is not on the first of the month, and every twelve
months thereafter (the "Anniversary Date(s)"), Licensee agrees that the Monthly Fee and
4
01- 269
Security shall be increased by five percent (5%) of the Monthly Fee and Security
respectively, in effect for the immediately preceding Agreement Year. For purposes of this
Agreement, Agreement Year shall mean any period of time consisting of twelve (12)
consecutive calendar months commencing on the Effective Date and each anniversary
thereafter. On each Anniversary Date the Licensee shall remit payment to the City for the
increased amount in Security. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to grant
Licensee the right to use or occupy the Area for a term greater than on a month-to-month
basis.
