DECLARATION OF RESTRICTIONS
THIS .DECLARATION OF RESTRICTIONS (the "Declaration") is made as of
, 2012 by and between Miami -Dade County, Florida, a political subdivision of the
State of Florida (the "County") and the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community
Redevelopment Agency, a public agency and body corporate to Section 163.356, Florida Statutes
(the "CRA").
RECITALS
A. The County and the CRA hold or claim fee simple title interest in and to the land
in Miami -Dade County, Florida, legally described in Composite Exhibit "1" attached hereto (the
"Property").
B. In accordance with the terms of the settlement agreement dated as of
, 2012 by and between the City of Miami, a municipal corporation (the "City"), the
County and the CRA (the "Settlement Agreement"), the County has agreed to quit claim its
interest in the Property to the CRA after the recordation of this Declaration.
C. The City has quit claimed its interest in the Property to the CRA.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the County and the
CRA, as the current owners of the Property, agree as follows:

hand delivery or by certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the County Mayor or its
designee (the "Notice") of the Developer selected by the CRA pursuant to the Developer
Opportunity and any proposed variances to the Declaration. The Notice shall be deemed
delivered to the County on the day hand delivered or the date the return receipt is executed. In
such event, the Board of County Commissioners must approve or reject the Developer selected
by the CRA and consider any proposed variances to the Declaration as provided in Section 15

recess) (the "Approval Period"). If the Board of County Commissioners does not approve or
reject the Developer selected by the CRA within the Approval Period, the selection by the CRA
and the proposed variances to this Declaration shall be deemed approved by the Board of County
Commissioners. In the event the Board of County Commissioners rejects the Developer selected
by the CRA within the Approval Period, the CRA shall issue a new Developer Opportunity
within thirty (30) days from the date of such rejection. The process shall continue until the
Developer is approved or deemed approved by the Board of County Commissioners. The
Development Opportunity will require the Developer to diligently pursue the simultaneous
development of the Parking Component and the Retail Component, with a preference on
completion of the Parking Component first. The Development Opportunity shall not require that
any component or phase of the Project be completed before construction on another component
or phase can commence.
4. Development Agreement. The CRA shall enter into a development
agreement (the "Development Agreement") with the Developer, approved or deemed approved
by the Board of County Commissioners within ninety (90) days from the date the Developer is
approved or deemed approved by the Board of County Commissioners. If the CRA does not
enter into the Development Agreement with the Developer approved or deemed approved by the
64
Board of County Commissioners within the ninety (90) day period, the CRA shall terminate
negotiations with such Developer and issue a new Developer Opportunity within thirty (30) days
from the end of such ninety (90) day period.
5. The Developer shall obtain all applicable land use and zoning approvals
for the Project (the "Approvals") within the earlier of (i) twelve months from the recording of
this Declaration if the CRA has executed a proposed Development Agreement with Gatehouse or
its affiliate (which effectiveness would be contingent on this Settlement) or (ii) two years from
the recordation of this Declaration. The CRA shall convey the Property (excluding solely that
portion of the property to be utilized for the Parking Component) by deed to the Developer prior
to the Developer commencing vertical construction of the Retail Component.
6. Construction. The Developer must commence vertical construction
(defined as physical structures actually being constructed on the Property pursuant to applicable
permits) of the Retail Component and the Parking Component within two years from the
recordation of this Declaration if Gatehouse or its affiliate is the developer, or within three years
from the recordation of this Declaration if the developer is not Gatehouse or its affiliate. The
Developer must substantially complete construction of the Retail Component within twenty-four
(24) months from commencement of vertical construction of the Retail Component (the "Retail
Completion Date"). The Developer must substantially complete construction of the Parking
Component within twenty four (24) months from commencement of vertical construction of the
Parking Component (the "Parking Completion Date"). The Retail Completion Date and the
Parking Completion Date shall be evidenced by one or more temporary or permanent certificates
of occupancy (or their equivalent) for all buildings comprising the particular component. Both
the Retail Completion Date and Parking Completion Date shall automatically be extended one
day for each day of Unavoidable Delay provided the Executive Director of the CRA concurs
with the Developer that an Unavoidable Delay has occurred and the County (by its Major or
Mayor's designee) agree that an Unavoidable Delay has occurred, which approval by the County
shall not be unreasonably withheld. The term "Unavoidable Delay" means delays due to area
wide strikes, acts of God, floods, hurricanes, casualties, fires, acts of the public enemy and
governmental moratoriums. The term Unavoidable Delay shall not include delays caused by any
other source, including but not limited to a governmental entity acting in its proprietary or
regulatory capacity or delays caused by lack of funds.
7. Developer Default.
A. In the event the Developer (i) does not obtain the Approvals in the
timeframe provided in Section 5 of this Declaration, (ii) fails to achieve substantial completion
of the Retail Component by the Retail Completion Date, as same may be extended as a result of
Unavoidable Delays, (iii) fails to achieve substantial completion of the Parking Component by
the Parking Completion Date, as same may be extended as a result of Unavoidable Delays, or
(iv) fails to make any Project Payment when due (as defined in Paragraph 17 herein), the CRA
and the County (as applicable) may declare the Developer in default by sending a Notice of
Default (the "Default Notice"). The Default Notice shall be hand delivered to the Developer or
mailed to the Developer by certified mail, return receipt requested. The Default Notice shall be
deemed delivered upon the date received if hand delivered, or if mailed, on the date the return
receipt is executed or the date delivery is refused. Upon receipt, or deemed receipt, of the Default
65
Notice, the Developer shall have ninety (90) days to cure (the "Default Cure Period").
Extensions of the Default Cure Period for good cause shown shall be in the sole discretion of the
CRA if the CRA has issued the Default Notice, or in the sole discretion of the County if the
County has issued the Default Notice.
B. In the event the Default Notice is issued pursuant to Section
7(A)(i), the Developer may extend the timeframe in which to obtain the Approvals for six (6)
months by paying to each of the County and the CRA Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($250,000.00) on or before the end of the Default Cure Period, as same may have been
extended in accordance with the last sentence of Section 7(A). The extension of the Approval
Period pursuant to this Section 7(B) to cure a default pursuant to Section 7(A)(i) is a one time
right of the Developer and may not be utilized in connection with any subsequent default
pursuant to Section 7(A)(i),
C. In the event the Default Notice is issued pursuant to Section
7(A)(ii), the Developer may extend the Retail Completion Date, as same may have been
extended as a result of Unavoidable Delays, for an additional six (6) months by paying to each of
the County and the CRA Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) on or
before the end of the Default Cure Period, as same may have been extended in accordance with
the last sentence of Section 7(A). The extension of the Retail Completion Date pursuant to this
Section 7(C) to cure a default pursuant to Section 7(A)(ii) is a one time right of the Developer
and may not be utilized in connection with any subsequent default pursuant to Section 7(A)(ii).
D. In the event the Default Notice is issued pursuant to Section
7(A)(iii), the Developer may extend the Parking Completion Date, as same may have been
extended as a result of Unavoidable Delays, for an additional six (6) months by paying to each of
the County and the CRA Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) on or
before the end of the Default Cure Period, as same may have been extended in accordance with
the last sentence of Section 7(A). The extension of the Parking Completion Date pursuant to this
Section 7(D) to cure a default pursuant to Section (A)(iii) is a one time right of the Developer
and may not be utilized in connection with any subsequent default pursuant to Section 7(A)(iii).
E. In the event the Default Notice is issued pursuant to 7(A)(i) (ii) or
(iii) of this Declaration, and is not cured prior to the end of the Default Cure Period, as same may
be extended, in accordance with the last sentence of Section 7(A), title to any portion(s) of the
Property which have not been improved with buildings shall automatically revert back to the
CRA, subject to the rights of the County set forth in the Declaration and Settlement Agreement
and pending the selection of another Developer as set forth therein (the "Reverter Property").
F. If the Default Notice is issued pursuant to Section 7(A)(iv) and
same is not cured within the Default Cure Period, then all remaining Project Payments together
with a fifteen percent (15%) penalty shall be automatically accelerated and shall be deemed
immediately due and payable to the County and the CRA. In such event, the County and the
CRA shall have the right to pursue any and all remedies against the Developer for the
outstanding amounts.
66
G. The Developer shall be liable to the County and the CRA for all
reasonable attorneys fees and costs incurred by the County and the CRA as a result of a
Developer Default.
H. Any payments made to the County and the CRA pursuant to
Sections 7(B), 7(C) and 7(D) shall not constitute a Project Payment and shall not be credited
against any Project Payment.
8. Reverter RFP. In the event any portion of the Property reverts to the
CRA, the CRA shall issue a new Developer Opportunity with respect to the Reverter Property, in
accordance with Section 3 of the Declaration, within ninety (90) days from the date the CRA
acquires the Reverter Property, and shall provide Notice to the County of the Developer selected
for its Approval as set forth herein and in the Settlement Agreement. In the event the Board of
County Commissioners rejects the Developer selected by the CRA within the new Approval
Period, the CRA shall issue a new Developer Opportunity within thirty (30) days from the date
of such rejection. The process shall continue until the Developer is approved or deemed
approved by the Board of County Commissioners. The CRA shall enter into a Development
Agreement with the Developer approved or deemed approved by the Board of County
Commissioners within ninety (90) days of the date the Developer is approved or deemed
approved by the Board of County Commissioners. If the CRA does not enter into the
Development Agreement with the Developer approved or deemed approved by the Board of
County Commissioners within the ninety (90) day period, the CRA shall terminate negotiations
with such Developer and issue a New Developer Opportunity within thirty (30) days of the end
of such ninety (90) day period. The new Developer shall be bound by the terms of this
Declaration. To the extent that any portion of the Property reverts to the CRA after seven (7)
years from the date of recordation of this Declaration, then, in such event. if such portion of the
Property that reverts to the CRA same shall revert from the CRA to the County upon written
notice from the County to the Executive Director of the CRA, free and clear of all claims by the
CRA and any Developer and free and clear of this Declaration. If requested by the County, the
CRA shall convey such portion of the Property to the County by quit claim deed. In the event of
such reversion to the County, this Declaration shall then automatically terminate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Parking Component has been completed, title to the
Parking Component shall remain vested in the CRA
9. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth herein, in the event that
vertical construction (defined as physical structures actually being constructed on the Property)
has not commenced on the Property within two years from the date of the recording of this
Declaration if the developer is Gatehouse or its affiliate, or three years from the date of the
recording of this Declaration if the developer is any other entity, the Property shall revert to the
County upon written notice by the County to the Executive Director of the CRA at any time prior
to the commencement of the vertical construction. If requested by the County, the CRA shall
provide the County with a special warranty deed transferring all right, title and interest in and to
the Property to the County, free and clear of all claims and encumbrances and free and clear of
this Declaration, which the County shall record. However, such reverter shall become effective
upon receipt by the CRA of the written notice of the exercise of the reverter, regardless of the
special warranty deed. In the event of such reversion, this Declaration shall then automatically
terminate, and notice of same may be recorded by the County.
67
10. Modification. Provided that the Developer is not in default beyond the
applicable grace periods and is current with all of its payment obligations to the CRA and the
County, this Declaration may be modified, amended or released with respect to the Property, or
any portion thereof, by written instrument executed and recorded by the then owner(s) of the fee
simple title to the Property, the CRA and the County with the approval of the respective Boards
of the CRA and the County. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive Director of the CRA
(the "Executive Director") may unilaterally, without the consent of the County being required,
modify this Declaration with respect to the following quantifiable requirements, by an amount
not to exceed 10 percent of such number or 10 percent of such percentages, as follows: (a) the
number of parking spaces in Section 2; (b) the time frames set forth in Sections 5 and 6; and (c)
the number of retail square feet in Section 2. Additionally, the Executive Director may modify
this Declaration in any non -substantive manner without the consent of the County, provided such
modifications are in writing. Any modifications, amendments, or releases shall be evidenced by
a recorded amendment to this Declaration executed by all required parties thereto.
11. No Limitation of Remedies. Nothing contained herein shall be construed
as limiting the rights and remedies of the County, the City or the CRA set forth in the Settlement
Agreement.
12. County Inspection. Prior to completion of construction of the Project, the
County and the CRA shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time during normal
business hours, to enter and inspect the Property to determine whether the requirements of this
Declaration are being complied to by the Developer.
13. Covenant Running with the Land. This Declaration shall constitute a
covenant running with the land and shall be binding on the CRA and its successors and assigns
having an interest in the Property. This Declaration is for the benefit of, and limitation upon, all
present and future owners of the Property and for the benefit of the County and the CRA.
14. Term. This Declaration is to run with the land for a period of thirty (30)
years and shall be automatically extended for additional ten (10) year periods until the payment
of the last Project Payment pursuant to Section 17 has been paid by the Developer.
15. Variance. In the event the Developer selected by the CRA in response to
the Developer Opportunity proposed variance from the requirements of this Declaration
(including but not limited to Gatehouse and its affiliates), which variances have been approved
by the Board of Commissioners of the CRA in light of market conditions and information
provided by the Developer, the Board of County Commissioners shall consider such variances at
the time the Board of County Commissioners is requested by the CRA to approve the Developer
and such variances shall be outlined to the County in the Notice to the County. To the extent that
Gatehouse or its affiliates request a variance from the Declaration, such variance must be
approved in the same manner and in the same timeframes, as the approval of the Developer. The
County agrees to consider such variances at the time it acts on the approval of the Developer (or
the approval of Gatehouse's proposed variance, if any), with no obligation on the part of the
Board of County Commissioners to approve any such variances from this Declaration, which
shall be in the sole discretion of the Board of County Commissioners. The variances shall be
deemed considered if they are included in the documentation submitted for the Board of County
68
Commissioner's consideration by the CRA. If the Board of County Commissioners approves, or
is deemed to approve, the Developer and some or all of the variances requested by the
Developer, the County and the CRA shall execute an amendment to this Declaration to reflect
the variances approved, or deemed approved, by the Board of County Commissioners.
16. Construction. To the extent that this Declaration requires construction,
and regardless of the notation of the "preparer" contained upon same, both the CRA and the
County equally participated in the drafting of this Declaration, and accordingly, such document
shall not be construed in favor of, or against, either party.
17. Compensation.
Beginning thirty (30) days from the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy or its
equivalent for the Retail Component, the Developer shall separately pay to each of the County
and the CRA each year for twenty-five (25) years a sum of money commencing with Thirty
Eight Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($38,500.00) per year on an annual basis for
the first five years and increasing by 3% per year for each year thereafter over the amount for the
previous year, or (ii) 2.5% of the Gross Rent paid by tenants of the Property (the "Project
Payment"). "Gross Rent" means all monies paid for the occupancy of space within the Retail
Component, including but not limited to flat rent or rent based on a percentage of sales, but shall
not include utilities, taxes, or security deposits. Within 90 days from the commencement of the
first anniversary of the Project Payment, and every year thereafter for the term of this
Declaration, the Developer shall submit a "full accounting" of Gross Rent, from the business or
businesses located on the Property for the previous year. Full Accounting means an Annual
Written Statement, signed by Owner, CEO, or Financial officer of the Developer and certified by
it to be true and correct, setting forth the amount of Gross Rent during the preceding year, which
statement shall also be duly certified by an independent Certified Public Accountant. The
statement referred to herein shall be in such form and style and contain such details and
breakdowns as County and CRA may reasonably determine or require. If this Annual Written
Statement when multiplied by two and one half percent (2.5%) exceeds the amount of the
previous year's Project Payment paid for the period, the difference ("Annual Adjustment") shall
be paid immediately by the Developer to the County and the CRA. There shall be no adjustment
if the Statement when multiplied by two and one half percent (2.5%) (excluding sales taxes) is
less than the amount paid as the previous year's Project Payment. County and CRA shall have
the right to cause, upon five (5) days' written notice to the Developer, a complete audit to be
made by a designated external auditing firm or other certified public accounting firm selected by
the County and/or CRA. If Developer fails to record, maintain, or make available sales
supporting documentation as specified above, then the Developer shall be deemed to be in
default of this Declaration.
A. The term "Project Payment" shall mean the then current annual
payment due from the Developer to the County and the CRA. All subsequent Project Payments
shall be due on the anniversary of the first payment. No Project Payment shall be due with
respect to the Parking Component; however, any rent derived from the retail liner and/or office
space, if any, shall be included in the calculation of Gross Rent.
69
B. In the event Developer fails to make the Project Payment within
ten (10) days of when due, Developer shall pay each of the County and the CRA a late fee equal
to five percent (5%) of the Project Payment then due.
C. In the event Developer fails to make any Project Payment within
thirty (30) days of when due such Project Payment shall bear interest at 12% per annum from the
date due until paid.
D. Nothing contained herein shall prevent or otherwise prohibit either
the CRA or the County through their Boards upon application by the Developer from waiving
their rights to one or more Project Payments, including portions of Project Payments or penalties
thereof. In such event, the approval of the CRA shall not be required if the County chooses to
waive its rights nor shall approval of the County be required in the event the CRA elects to waive
its rights.

annually as of each January 1 and paid by the Owner within thirty (30) days of issuance of the

shall act promptly upon any such requests that are received at least ten days before the next
meeting of the board of the Issuer.

Tax Increment Revenue Bonds, Series 2012[- ] (the "Bonds"), that:

Development Agreement, and will not make payments to the Issuer under that Section 7.4 of the
Development Agreement, that it will comply with the Subcontractor Participation Requirements
set forth in the Development Agreement, and will therefore not make payments to the Issuer
under Section 11.5 of the Development Agreement, that it will meet the Laborer Participation
Requirements set forth in the Development Agreement, and will not make payments to the Issuer
under Section 11.6 of the Development Agreement, and that it will comply with the reporting
requirements set forth in Section 4 of the Restrictive Covenant Agreement, and will therefore not
make payments to the Issuer under Section 4 of the Restrictive Covenant Agreement and that it
will comply with its obligations under Section 3 of the Restrictive Covenant Agreement and will
therefore not make payments to the Issuer under Section 3 of the Restrictive Covenant
Agreement.

as owned, or used for the private business use of, the Developer (the "Bond -Financed Property").
The Developer reasonably expects that it will make no payments to the Issuer, or any related
party to the Issuer with respect to any Bond -Financed Property, directly or indirectly, except for
payment of property taxes of general application or the payment in lieu of property taxes
required by Section 31 of the Development Agreement.
2. The Developer understands and agreements that the representations set forth
above are being relied on by the Issuer in complying with the federal income tax requirements
that apply to the Bonds and in executing and delivering the Issuer's Tax Certificate relating to
the Bonds and by Bond Counsel in rendering its opinion regarding the exclusion of the interest
on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes.
