SIGN LOCATION LICENSE AGREEMENT
1. Grant of License. The SOUTHEAST OVERTOWN/PARK WEST COMMUNITY
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, a public agency and body corporate created pursuant to Section 163.356,
Florida Statutes (hereinafter called LICENSOR), hereby licenses and grants to CBS OUTDOOR, INC.
(hereinafter called LICENSEE) the use of the "Licensed Premises" (as hereinafter defined) consisting of a
portion of the property located at Overtown Plaza, 1490 NW 3'1 Ave, in the City of Miami, County of Miami -
Dade, in the State of Florida (the "Property") (with free access over and across same) for the purpose of erecting,
constructing, installing, placing, replacing, operating, maintaining, servicing and removing LICENSEE'S
advertising sign(s) thereon, including supporting structures, illumination facilities and connections, back-up
panels, service ladders and other appurtenances and ancillary equipment (the "Sign Structure").
2. Description of Licensed Premises. The "Licensed Premises" shall consist of that portion of the
Property where the supporting structure of the Sign Structure is or will be affixed to the ground, the surrounding
area and the airspace above the same, as more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part
hereof. In the event that the Sign Structure is/are not constructed as of the date of this License, then the Licensed
Premises shall be located on the S/W portion of the Property in approximately the location described on Exhibit
A. Upon completion of the construction of the Sign Structure, the parties hereto agree to execute an addendum to
this agreement which will set forth the actual location of the Sign Structure and the Licensed Premises.
3. Access by LICENSEE. LICENSOR grants to LICENSEE and/or its agents the right to vehicular
and pedestrian ingress and egress to and from the Sign Structure over and across the Property for (i) all purposes
reasonably necessary for the erection, construction, installation, placing, replacing, operating, maintaining,
servicing and removal of the Sign Structure, (ii) the right to provide or establish electrical power to the Sign
Structure(s) (at LICENSEE's sole expense) and (iii) the right to place incidental and ancillary equipment thereon.
4. Term. The initial term (the "Term") of this License shall commence on February 1, 2013 (the
"Commencement Date") and expire on the tenth anniversary of the "License Fee Commencement Date," defined
herein. Upon expiration of the initial Term, LICENSEE may elect to renew for an additional term of five (5)
years, by conferring notice to LICENSOR within sixty (60) prior to the expiration of the initial term.
5. Annual License Fee. LICENSEE shall pay to LICENSOR an Annual License Fee of Seventy --
Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) per year or twenty-five percent (25%) for years one through ten (1-10) and
thirty percent (30%) for the remaining term of the gross revenues derived as a result of this License Agreement,
whichever is greater. The Base License Fee shall be payable in equal quarterly installments of Thirteen Thousand
Seven Hundred and Fifty Dollars and No Cents ($18,750.00). The first quarterly payment of the License Fee
shall be due and payable ("License Fee Commencement Date") within five (5) business days after the earlier to
occur of (a) one hundred twenty (120) days after a building permit for the Sign Structure has been issued or (b)
the date that LICENSEE receives notice from LICENSOR that the Sign Structure has received its final inspection
approval. Each payment thereafter shall be made three months following the previous payment due date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the License Fee Commencement Date shall be extended one day for each day that
LICENSEE is delayed in erecting the Sign Structure as the result of an event of "Force Majeure" (as hereinafter
defined). Within thirty (30) days after the anniversary of each License Fee Commencement Date, LICENSEE
shall render LICENSOR with an accounting of revenues derived as a result of this License Agreement. If the
accounting shows that the revenues were greater than the minimum amount due, LICENSEE shall make the
appropriate percentage payment, as described herein, to LICENSOR within ten (10) days thereof. In addition to
the Base License Fee described herein above, commencing on the third (P) anniversary of the License Fee
Commencement Date, LICENSOR shall also received an escalation rate, which shall consist of an amount equal
to the Seventy -Five Percent (75%) of the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners
and Clerical Workers for the United States as issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States
Department of Labor measured by its level one (1) month prior to each anniversary date of the License.
RM:6788600:1
Should the provisions of Paragraph 10 become operative, or the Term of this License commences on
some day other than the first of the month, all Annual License Fee payments required hereunder shall be prorated
based upon a thirty (30) day month. The amount of revenues shall be certified to the LICENSOR by a certified
public accountant.
Notwithstanding, LICENSEE acknowledges that the Annual License Fee would be an amount higher than
that reflected hereinabove were the Sign Structure permitted to utilize "light emitting diode technology"
("LED").. In the event LICENSEE obtains all required permissions to utilize LED technology on the Sign
Structure located on the Licensed Premises, the parties shall confer within fifteen (15) days of LICENSEE's
receipt of said permissions for the purpose of renegotiating an increase to the Annual License Fee.
6. Ownership of Licensed Premises. LICENSOR warrants that LICENSOR is the owner of the
Property in fee simple, has full authority to make this Agreement and that there are no mortgages or similar liens
upon the Property.
7. Ownership of Sign. The Sign Structure, improvements and appurtenances thereto placed on the
Property hereafter by or for LICENSEE are LICENSEE'S trade fixtures and shall at all times remain the property
of LICENSEE, and LICENSEE shall have the right to remove the same at any time during the Term of the
License (as the same may be extended), or, for forty five (45) days after the expiration or termination of the
License (the "Removal Date"). If LICENSEE removes its Sign Structure, only the above grade portions of said
Sign Structure shall be removed. The future existence of below grade improvements shall not constitute continued
occupancy of the Licensed Premises by LICENSEE. If upon the expiration of the Term (as the same may be
extended) the parties hereto are engaged in good faith negotiation of the terms of a renewal license, then
LICENSEE shall not be obligated to remove its Sign Structure from the Licensed Premises until the later to occur
of (i) the Removal Date, and (ii) thirty (30) days after the receipt of written notice from LICENSOR expressly
stating that LICENSOR does not desire to continue such renewal negotiation.
8. Termination by LICENSEE. In the event that (a) LICENSEE is unable to secure or maintain
any required permit or license from any appropriate governmental authority; (b) federal, state or local statute,
ordinance regulation or other governmental action precludes or materially limits use of the Licensed Premises for
outdoor advertising purposes; (c) LICENSEE's Sign Structure on the Licensed Premises becomes entirely or
partially obstructed or destroyed; (d) the advertising value of the Sign Structure is impaired or diminished by
LICENSOR'S action; (e) there occurs a diversion of traffic from, or a change in the direction of, traffic past the
Sign Structure; (f) LICENSEE is prevented from maintaining electrical power to the Licensed Premises or
illuminating its Sign Structure; (g) LICENSEE finds that, in LICENSEE'S reasonable opinion, the continued
maintenance/operation of the Sign Structure is impractical or uneconomical due to engineering, architectural,
construction or maintenance circumstances which will require structural improvements to LICENSORS Property;
(h) maintenance will be hampered or made unsafe due to conditions caused by nearby properties, land uses, or
utilities, then LICENSEE shall, at its option, have the right to either reasonably abate the License Fee until the
issues with (a) through (h) above are cured, and/or terminate this License at no cost to LICENSEE upon thirty
(30) days notice in writing to LICENSOR and LICENSOR shall refund to LICENSEE any License Fee payment
paid in advance for the remainder of the un-expired term.
9. Utilities; Right to Illuminate Sign. LICENSEE shall have the right at its sole expense to add
any underground lines and telecommunications devices necessary to the operation of the Sign Structure. The
LICENSEE shall maintain a separate account with the appropriate utility companies for utility services. If
LICENSEE is prevented by the LICENSOR from illuminating its Sign Structure, then as an alternative to the
remedy in Paragraph 8(g) above, the LICENSEE may reduce the License Fee provided in Paragraph 2 above by
50%, with such reduced License Fee to remain in effect so long as such condition continues to exist. LICENSEE
agrees to pay all electrical power costs used in conjunction with its sign.
10. Visibility. It is the understanding of the parties that visibility of the Sign Structure to the
RM:6788600:1
traveling public is the essence of this License. LICENSOR shall not cause LICENSEE's Sign Structure to be
obscured from visibility to the traveling public. Upon LICENSEE's request, LICENSOR shall promptly trim, cut,
or remove brush, trees, shrubs, or any vegetation or remove any obstructions of any kind on the Property, or any
other property owned or controlled by LICENSOR, which limit or impair the visibility, maintenance or operation
of the Sign Structure. Should LICENSOR fail to act within ten (10) days of LICENSOR's request, LICENSEE
shall have the right to perform the required action itself.
11. Enjoyment. LICENSOR warrants that if LICENSEE shall pay the License Fee and otherwise
comply with its obligations hereunder, LICENSEE shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the
Licensed Premises for the Term of this License free from any disturbance by LICENSOR or anyone acting by,
through and under LICENSOR.
12. Notices. All Annual License Fees to be paid pursuant to this License and all notices or other
communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the persons listed

13. Parties Bound; Assignment. This License shall be binding upon successors and assigns for the
parties hereto and LICENSOR agrees to notify LICENSEE of any change of (i) ownership of the Property or the
Licensed Premises, or (ii) LICENSOR's mailing address within seven (7) days of such change. LICENSOR shall
not assign its interest under this License or any part thereof except to a party who purchases the underlying fee
title to the Property or the Licensed Premises and LICENSEE shall not assign its interest under this License or
any part thereof except to an entity that controls, is controlled by, or under common control with, LICENSEE
provided, however, this sentence shall not preclude a collateral assignment of LICENSOR's or LICENSEE's
interest under this License to an established financial institution as, and part of, a bonafide loan transaction nor
shall it preclude an assignment by LICENSEE to any entity controlling, controlled by, or under control with,
LICENSEE.
14. Force Majeure. As used in this Agreement, Force Majeure means a war, insurrection, hurricane,
flood, fire, casualty, act of God, unusually severe weather, court order or proceeding (including, but not limited
to, one in which the right of LICENSEE to erect or maintain a Sign Structure is contested, challenged or
threatened) or shortage of labor or materials, in each case beyond the reasonable control and without the fault of
the Party claiming an excuse from performance. If any party shall be delayed in the performance of any
obligation hereunder, as a result of a Force Majeure, then the performance of such obligation shall be extended by
the length of such delay. In response to and during any delay caused by a Force Majeure, any party seeking an
excuse of performance due to such Force Majeure shall work diligently and in good faith to minimize the delay
caused by such Force Majeure.
15. Construction. The parties hereto have each carefully reviewed this License and have agreed to
each tern set forth herein. No ambiguity is presumed to be construed against either party.
16. Returned Check Fee. In the event any check is returned to the LICENSOR as uncollectible, the
LICENSEE shall pay to the LICENSOR a returned check fee (the "Returned Check Fee") based on the following
schedule:
Returned Amount
$00.01 - 50.00
$50.01 - 300.00
$300.01 — 800.00
OVER $800
Returned Check Fee
$20.00
$30.00
$40.00
5% of the returned amount.
Such Returned Check Fee shall constitute additional fees due and payable to the LICENSOR by
LICENSEE, upon the date of payment of the delinquent payment referenced above. Acceptance of such Returned
Check Fee by the LICENSOR shall not, constitute a waiver of LICENSEE's violations with respect to such
overdue amount nor prevent the LICENSOR from the pursuit of any remedy to which the LICENSOR may
otherwise be entitled. In the event the LICENSOR must institute a civil suit to collect a returned check, the
LICENSOR shall be entitled to recover a reasonable attorney's fee as provided by Florida Statutes.
17. Late Payments. LICENSEE hereby acknowledges that late payment by the LICENSEE to the
LICENSOR of the Annual License Fee and other sums due hereunder will cause the LICENSOR to incur costs
not contemplated by this Agreement, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain.
Accordingly, if any installment of the License Fee or any other sum due from LICENSEE shall not be received by
the LICENSOR within fifteen (15) days after the date on which such sum is due, LICENSEE shall pay to the
LICENSOR a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such overdue amount. The Parties hereby agree that such
late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs the LICENSOR will incur by reason of late
payment by LICENSEE. Acceptance of such late charge by the LICENSOR shall not constitute a waiver of the
RM:6788600:1
LICENSEE's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent the LICENSOR from exercising any of its
other rights and remedies granted hereunder or at law or in equity.
Except in the case where a late fee is paid by LICENSEE, any amount not paid to the LICENSOR within
fifteen (15) days after the date on which such amount is due shall bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum from
its due date. Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by LICENSEE under this Agreement.
18. Taxes. LICENSEE shall pay before any fine, penalty, interest or costs is added for nonpayment,
any and all charges, fees, taxes or assessments (collectively "Assessment") levied against personal property of any
kind, owned by or placed in, upon or about the Property by LICENSEE. In the event LICENSEE appeals an
Assessment, LICENSEE shall immediately notify the Executive Director of LICENSOR or his/her authorized
designee of its intention to appeal said Assessment and upon the request of the Executive Director and his/her
authorized designee shall furnish and keep in effect a surety bond of a responsible and substantial surety that is
reasonably acceptable to the LICENSOR or other security reasonably satisfactory to the City Manager or his/her
authorized designee, in an amount sufficient to pay one hundred percent (100%) of the contested Assessment with
all interest on it and costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to be incurred in connection with it.
LICENSEE agrees to pay such Assessments either in lump sum or on an installment plan. Failure of the
LICENSEE to pay any Assessment or any installment payment thereof within any applicable notice and cure
period shall constitute a default under this Agreement.
19. Licenses, Authorizations and Permits. LICENSEE shall obtain, or cause to be obtained, and
maintain in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement, at its sole expense, all licenses,
authorizations and permits that are necessary for LICENSEE to conduct its commercial activities. LICENSEE
shall be responsible for paying the cost of said applications and obtaining said licenses, authorizations and
permits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LICENSOR shall use reasonable commercial efforts, at no out of pocket
expense to itself, to assist LICENSEE in securing such licenses and permits.
20. This Agreement Not a Lease. This Agreement solely authorizes LICENSEE to the temporary
use of the Property for the limited purposes set forth herein and for no other purpose. This Agreement confers no
exclusive possession of the Property, and the LICENSEE cannot exclude LICENSOR from the Property. The
parties hereby agree that the provisions of this Agreement do not constitute a lease. 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 on
the Property and to use the Property, subject to the terms of this Agreement. The LICENSOR retains dominion,
possession and control of the Property. Therefore, no lease interest in the Property is conferred upon LICENSEE
under the provisions hereof. LICENSEE does not and shall not claim at any time any interest or estate of any
kind or extent whatsoever in the Property by virtue of this Agreement or its use of the Property hereunder.
Additionally, except as provided herein to the contrary, LICENSEE does not and shall not claim at any time any
interest or estate of any kind or extent whatsoever in the Property by virtue of any expenditure of funds by the
LICENSEE for improvements, construction, repairs, partitions, or alterations to the Property which may be
authorized by the Executive Director or his/her designee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LICENSEE shall be
entitled to make any claim available to it for its losses against any duly authorized governmental entity (except
LICENSOR) that takes the Licensed Premises or the Sign Structure thereon through an actual or threatened
eminent domain proceeding.
21. Cancellation by Request of Either of the Parties Without Cause; Termination Fee. Either
party may cancel this Agreement without cause, that is, for convenience, at any time, with thirty (30) days prior
written notice to the non -cancelling party. This Agreement that is extended to the LICENSEE is revocable -at -will
by the LICENSOR, through its Executive Director, without the consent of the LICENSEE, in accordance with
this Agreement. In the event the LICENSOR cancels this Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph 21 prior to the
end of the term, LICENSOR shall pay a termination fee to LICENSEE equal to, if within the first twelve (12)
months following the "License Fee Commencement Date", four (4) times the Annual License Fee due hereunder
and LICENSEE shall be given a credit equal to the Permit Fee paid for the construction of the Sign Structure; if
within the second twelve months following the "License Fee Commencement Date", three (3) times the Annual
RM:6788600:1
License Fee and LICENSEE shall be given a credit equal to ninety percent (90%) of the Permit Fee paid; if at any
other time during the term, two (2) times the amount of the prior years License Fee. LICENSEE's credit for
permit fees may be applied at a maximum rate of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) per year against any fees
that LICENSEE may owe LICENSOR at the time of cancellation or in the future until the credit is exhausted. In
the event the LICENSEE cancels this Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph 21 prior to the end of the initial term,
LICENSEE shall pay a termination fee to LICENSOR equal to, if within the first twelve (12) months following
the "License Fee Commencement Date", four (4) times the Annual License Fee due hereunder; if within the
second twelve (12) months following the "License Fee Commencement Date", three (3) times the "Annual
License Fee"; and at any other time during the term, two (2) times the amount of the prior year's License Fee, or
through the time when another company assumes the Sign Structure, whichever is less. The termination fee shall
be paid on or before the day that this Agreement effectively terminates. If the cancellation is at the request of the
LICENSOR and LICENSOR provides a substitute location owned by LICENSOR which is acceptable to
LICENSEE in its sole reasonable discretion, the termination fee shall be limited to LICENSEE'S costs associated
with relocating the advertising structure to the new location (not to exceed $75,000). If the cancellation is at the
request of LICENSEE, the termination fee shall be reduced by any License Fee paid by another company for
advertising on or within five hundred (500) feet of the Property within four (4) years of the termination date.
22. Termination for Cause. LICENSEE and LICENSOR each agree to abide by each and every
term and condition of this Agreement. If LICENSEE violates the terms, restrictions or conditions of this
Agreement, then the Executive Director may give it thirty (30) days written notice within which to cease such
violation or correct such deficiencies; provided, however, in the event the violation or deficiency is one which is
not reasonably susceptible of being cured within such thirty (30) day period, then LICENSEE shall have such
time to cure as is reasonable under the circumstances provided that LICENSEE is diligently pursuing such cure.
Upon LICENSEE's failure to do so after receiving such default notice, the Executive Director may cancel this
Agreement upon giving ten (10) days written notice to the LICENSEE and thereafter the Agreement shall be
deemed automatically canceled without the necessity for further action by the LICENSOR. If LICENSOR
violates the terms, restrictions or conditions of this Agreement, then LICENSEE may give LICENSOR thirty (30)
days written notice within which to cease such violation; provided, however, in the event the violation is one
which is not reasonably susceptible of being cured within such thirty (30) day period, then LICENSOR shall have
such time to cure as is reasonable under the circumstances provided that LICENSOR is diligently pursuing such
cure. Upon LICENSOR's failure to do so after receiving such default notice, the LICENSEE may cancel this
Agreement upon giving ten (10) days written notice to the LICENSOR and thereafter the Agreement shall be
deemed automatically canceled without the necessity for further action by the LICENSEE.
23. Condition of the Property and Maintenance. LICENSEE accepts the Licensed Premises "as
is", in its present condition and state of repair condition and without any representation by or on behalf of the
LICENSOR, and agrees that the LICENSOR shall, under no circumstances, be liable for any latent, patent or
other defects in the Licensed Premises. LICENSEE shall provide all maintenance to the Licensed Premises.
LICENSEE, at its sole cost, shall maintain the Licensed Premises in good order and repair at all times and in an
attractive, clean, safe and sanitary condition and shall cause no waste or injury thereto. LICENSEE shall be
responsible for all repairs to the Licensed Premises required or caused by LICENSEE's use of any part thereof.
THE LICENSOR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY FOR THE LICENSED PREMISES. LICENSEE agrees to make any changes necessary
to the Licensed Premises relating to the use thereof by LICENSEE at LICENSEE's sole cost and expense in order
to comply with all City, County and State code requirements for LICENSEE's occupancy thereof.
24. Surrender Of Area or Property. In either event of cancellation or at the natural expiration of
the term, LICENSEE shall peacefully surrender the Property in good condition and repair together with all
alterations, fixtures, installation, additions and improvements which may have been made in or attached on or to
the Property. Upon surrender, LICENSEE shall promptly remove all its personal property, trade fixtures and
equipment and LICENSEE shall repair any damage to the Property caused thereby. Should LICENSEE fail to
repair any damage caused to the Property within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from LICENSOR
directing the required repairs, LICENSOR shall cause the Property to be repaired at the sole cost and expense of
RM:6788600:1
LICENSEE. LICENSEE shall pay LICENSOR the full cost of such repairs within ten (10) days of receipt of an
invoice indicating the cost of such required repairs. At LICENSOR' S option, LICENSOR may require
LICENSEE to restore the Property so that the Property shall be as it was on the Effective Date.
In the event LICENSEE fails to remove its personal property, equipment and fixtures from the Property
within the time limit set by the notice, said property shall be deemed abandoned and thereupon shall become the
sole personal property of the LICENSOR, but in no event shall said personal property, equipment and fixtures
continue to be used as a Sign Structure. The LICENSOR, at its sole discretion and without liability, may remove
and/or dispose of same as LICENSOR sees fit, all at LICENSEE'S sole cost and expense.
25. Mechanics' Liens. The LICENSEE shall not knowingly suffer or permit any mechanics liens to
be filed against the title to the Property by reason of work, labor, services or materials supplied to the LICENSEE
or anyone having a right to possession of the Property as a result of an agreement with or without the consent of
the LICENSEE. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as constituting the consent or request of the
LICENSOR, expressed or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer or
materialman for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials, for any specific work on the
Property nor as giving the LICENSEE the right, power or the LICENSOR to contract for or permit the rendering
of any services or the furnishing of any materials that would give rise to the filing of any mechanics' liens against
the LICENSOR 's interest in the Property if any mechanics lien shall at any time be filed against the Property, the
LICENSEE shall cause it to be discharged of record within thirty (30) days after the date that it has notice of its
filing. LICENSEE shall not be required to pay or discharge any mechanics' lien within the thirty (30) day period,
so long as LICENSEE shall in good faith proceed to contest the lien by appropriate proceedings. It shall furnish
reasonably satisfactory evidence that funds are or will be available to pay the amount of the contested lien claim
with all interest can it and costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees to be incurred in connection
with it. If LICENSEE does not 1) cause a mechanics' lien to be discharged of record by court order, payment or
bonding within thirty (30) days after the date LICENSEE has notice of the filing of a lien or 2) LICENSEE does
not in good faith proceed to contest the lien by appropriate proceedings within the thirty (30) day period, then
LICENSEE shall be in default of the Agreement.
26. LICENSOR's Access To Licensed Premises. The LICENSOR and its authorized
representative(s) shall have at all times access to the Licensed Premises to (a) inspect the Licensed Premises, (b)
to perform any obligations of LICENSEE hereunder which LICENSEE has failed to perform after written notice
thereof to LICENSEE, LICENSEE not having cured such matter within ten (10) days of such notice, (c) to assure
LICENSEE's compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and all applicable laws, ordinances,
rules and regulations, and (d) for other purposes as may be deemed necessary by the City Manager or his/her
authorized designee in the furtherance of the LICENSOR's corporate purpose; provided, however, that
LICENSOR shall make a diligent effort to provide at least 24-hours advance notice and LICENSEE shall have the
right to have one or more of its representatives or employees present during the time of any such entry.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, LICENSOR and its representatives shall have no right to and shall not climb upon
the Sign Structure; any inspection shall be from ground level. The LICENSOR shall not be liable for any loss,
cost or damage to the LICENSEE by reason of the exercise by the LICENSOR of the right of entry described
herein for the purposes listed above. The making of periodic inspections or the failure to do so shall not operate
to impose upon the LICENSOR any liability of any kind whatsoever nor relieve the LICENSEE of any
responsibility, obligations or liability assumed under this Agreement.
27. Safety. LICENSEE will allow LICENSOR inspectors, agents or representatives the ability to
monitor its compliance with safety precautions as required by federal, state or local laws, rules, regulations and
ordinances. By performing these inspections the LICENSOR, its agents, or representatives are not assuming any
liability by virtue of these laws, rules, regulations and ordinances. LICENSEE shall have no recourse against the
LICENSOR, its agents, or representatives from the occurrence, nonoccurrence or result of such inspection(s).

RM:6788600:1
28. Indemnification. LICENSEE shall indemnify, defend at its own cost and expense and hold
harmless the LICENSOR and its officials, employees and agents (collectively referred to as "Indemnitees") and

damage to or destruction or loss of any property arising out of, resulting from, or in connection with (i) the
performance or non-performance of the services contemplated by this Agreement to the extent it is or is alleged to

(ii) the failure of the LICENSEE to comply with any of the Sections herein or the failure of the LICENSEE to

the negligence or willful misconduct of the LICENSOR or the unlawful acts or omissions of the LICENSOR.
LICENSEE expressly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees, or any of them, from and against
all liabilities which may be asserted by an employee or former employee of LICENSEE, or any of its

times throughout the period of this Agreement, the insurance coverage as fully set forth in Exhibit B attached
hereto and made a part hereof.

to the property, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment belonging to or rented by LICENSEE, their officers,
agents, employees, invitees or patrons occurring in or about the Property that may be stolen, destroyed, or in any
way damaged, including, without limitation, fire, flood, steam, electricity, gas, water, rain, vandalism or theft
which may leak or flow from or into any part of the Property, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other
defects of the pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures of the Property,
or from hurricane or any act of God or any act of negligence of any user of the facilities or occupants of the
Property or any person whomsoever whether such damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the
Property or upon other portions of the Property or from other sources.
31. Public Records. LICENSEE understands that the public shall have access, at all reasonable
times, to LICENSOR contracts and all documents, records and reports maintained and generated pursuant to this
Agreement, pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, and agrees to allow access by the
LICENSOR and the public to all documents subject to disclosure under applicable law.

applicable Environmental Laws.
35. The Sign Structure erected pursuant to this LICENSE shall not be used to advertise tobacco
products, sexually explicit materials or products, exotic nightclubs or similar adult entertainment facilities, or
illegal drugs. Notwithstanding the preceding, if in the LICENSOR's reasonable judgment, the advertising copy
placed on the sign detrimentally reflects on the remainder of the property or LICENSOR, LICENSEE shall
remove the offending copy at its sole expense within ten (10) days of notice of same from LICENSOR.
36. Time of Essence. It is expressly agreed by the parties hereto that time is of the essence with
respect to this Agreement. If the final day of any period falls on a weekend or legal holiday, then the final day of
said period or the date of performance shall be extended to the next business day thereafter.
37. Waiver. Any waiver by either party or any breach by either party of any one or more of the
covenants, conditions or provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent or
other breach of the same or any covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, nor shall any failure on the
part of the LICENSOR to require or exact full and complete compliance by LICENSEE with any of the
covenants, conditions or provisions of this Agreement be construed as in any manner changing the terms hereof to
prevent the LICENSOR from enforcing in full the provisions hereto, nor shall the terms of this Agreement be
changed or altered in any manner whatsoever other than by written agreement of the LICENSOR and LICENSEE.
38. Litigation. Any dispute herein shall be resolved in the courts of Miami -Dade County, Florida.
The parties shall attempt to mediate any dispute without litigation. However, this is not intended to establish
mediation as a condition precedent before pursuing specific performance, equitable or injunctive relief.
39. Attorneys' Fees. In the event it becomes necessary to institute legal proceedings to enforce or
interpret the provisions of this Agreement, other than a civil suit to collect a returned check as provided for by
Florida Statutes, each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees through all trial and appellate levels.
40. Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereby knowingly, irrevocably, voluntarily and intentionally
waive any right either may have to a trial by jury in respect of any action, proceeding or counterclaim based on
this Agreement, or arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or any amendment or modification
of this Agreement, or any other agreement executed by and between the parties in connection with this
Agreement, or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statements (whether verbal or written) or actions of any
party hereto. This waiver of jury trial provision is a material inducement for the LICENSOR and LICENSEE
entering into the subject transaction.
41. Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and no
third party shall be entitled to claim or enforce any rights hereunder.
42. Amendments. No alterations, amendments or modifications hereof shall be valid unless
executed by an instrument in writing by the parties with the same formality as this Agreement. Neither this
Agreement, nor any term hereof, can be changed, modified, or abandoned, in whole or in part, except by
instrument in writing, and no subsequent oral agreement shall have any validity whatsoever.
43. Severability and Savings Clause. It is the express intent of the parties that this Agreement
constitutes a license and not a lease. To further this intent, the parties agree as follows: (i) if any provision of this
Agreement, or the application thereof to any circumstance, suggest that a lease, rather than a license, has been
RM:6788600:1
created, then such provision shall be interpreted in the light most favorable to the creation of a license and (ii) if
any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any circumstance, is determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to have created a lease rather than a license, then such provision shall be stricken and, to
the fullest extent possible, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and shall
continue to operate and remain in full force and effect.
With regard to those provisions which do not affect the parties intent for this Agreement, should any
provision, section, paragraph, sentence, word or phrase contained in this Agreement be determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable under the laws of the State of Florida or
the City of Miami, such provision, section, paragraph, sentence, word or phrase shall be deemed modified to the
extent necessary in order to conform with such laws, or if not modifiable, then same shall be deemed severable,
and in either event, the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall remain unmodified and in full
force and effect or limitation of its use. In the event that any non -material provision of this Agreement shall be
held to be invalid for any reason, such invalidity shall not affect the remaining portions of this Agreement and the
same shall remain in full force and effect.
44. Headings. Title and section headings are for convenient reference and are not a part of this
Agreement.
45. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire understanding between the parties
hereto as to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior written oral negotiations, representations,
warranties, statements or agreements between the parties hereto as to the same. There are no promises, terms and
conditions, or obligations other than those contained herein, and no party has relied upon the statements or
promises of the representatives of any party hereto.
46. Authority. Each of the parties hereto acknowledge it is duly authorized to enter into this
Agreement and that the signatories below are duly authorized to execute this Agreement in their respective behalf.
47. No Partnership. Nothing contained herein shall make, or be construed to make any party a
principal, agent, partner or joint venture of the other.
48. Joint Preparation. This Agreement is the result of negotiations between the parties and has been
printed by one party for the convenience of both parties, and the parties covenant that this Agreement shall not be
construed in favor or against either of the parties.
