3. The existing preempted area can only be utilized as they were on the date of execution of this
Temporary Use Agreement, which was as an eight -slip commercial fishing vessel mooring facility. In the
event any part of any of these preempted area is determined by a final adjudication issued by a court of
competent jurisdiction to encroach or interfere with riparian rights of the adjacent upland riparian owner,
Applicant agrees to either obtain written consent for the offending use from the affected adjacent upland
riparian owner or remove the interference or encroachment within 60 days from the date of the
adjudication. Failure to comply with this paragraph shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement
and be grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement at the sole option of the Board.
4. The consideration paid for this Agreement includes the lease fees due for these lands from
September 30, 1984 through September 30, 2007. This consideration is not refundable, notwithstanding
the denial of a sovereignty submerged lands lease by the Board.
5. In the event that a sovereignty submerged lands lease application is not approved by the Board and
executed by both parties prior to the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement, and either the
Applicant fails to timely submit the information concerning title as required herein, or the Board denies the
Applicant's claim of title and the Applicant has not commenced an action to quiet title as specified herein,
the Applicant shall remove all uses referenced herein from the sovereignty submerged lands at the
Applicant's sole expense. The complete removal of the uses shall be accomplished within 180 days
following the expiration or termination of this Agreement, whichever occurs first.
6. If the Applicant asserts title to the submerged lands identified in Exhibit "A", the Applicant must
submit an application, accompanied by all evidence upon which Applicant relies for the assertion of title, to
the Division of State Lands ("DSL"), Department of Environiental Protection, within 90 days after the
execution of this Agreement. DSL will review the application and accompanying evidence and give a
response to Applicant as to whether the Board will assert title to the submerged lands described in Exhibit
"A". If DSL responds that the Board will assert title to said submerged lands, the Applicant must file an
appropriate action in circuit court within 90 days of DSL's response to obtain a legal determination of title
to the submerged lands. If DSL, after consultation with the Board, responds that the Board does not assert
title to the submerged lands, then the Applicant shall not have to apply for a submerged lands lease, and
that portion of the consideration representing lease fees and interest shall be refunded. If DSL, after it's
review, responds that the Board does not assert title to a portion of the submerged lands any consideration
for that portion representing lease fees and interest will be refunded.
Failure to submit the initial application and evidence within 90 days after execution of this Agreement, or
failure to file the appropriate court action within 90 days after DSL's response, shall constitute a waiver by
the Applicant of all of its claim of title to the submerged lands and an acknowledgment that the Board owns
the sovereign submerged lands.
7. Applicant shall make initial application for a sovereign submerged lands lease to the Board within
30 days of the execution of this Agreement and complete the application by no later than 180 days of the
execution of this Agreement for the lands identified in Exhibit "A".
8. Immediately following execution of this Agreement, Applicant shall record this Agreement and
send a copy of the recorded Agreement to Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Southeast
District, 400 N. Congress Avenue, Suite 400, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401, Attention Donald H. Keim
