above. If the Index is discontinued with no successor Index, Lessor shall select a comparable index.
Lessor shall compute the CPI Escalations and send a notice, with calculations, to Lessee setting
forth the adjusted Minimum Base Rent within sixty (60) days of the commencement of each CPT Escalation
Date or as soon as such Index is available. In the event the Minimum Base Rent increases, Lessee shall pay
to Lessor within thirty (30) days of receiving such notice, the Additional Rent owed for the months, which
have elapsed in the current Lease Year.
4.1.3 Percentage Rent.

restaurant. Commencing thirty six (36) months after the first payment of percentage rent, the percentage
rent shall increase to 8'/2%.
if there is any underpayment of Percentage Rent, Lessee shall pay the Lessor the amount of the
deficiency within thirty (30) days of the Lessor receipt of the Percentage Rent payment. if the Percentage

No deduction shall be allowed for direct or indirect discounts, rebates, or other reductions on sales,
unless generally offered to employees or the public on a uniform basis. Gross Revenues, whether for cash,

Revenues shall be reduced by the amount of any refund made upon any sale in or from the Property,
provided said amounts had been previously included in "Gross Revenues," not to exceed the sum so
previously included, where the merchandise sold is thereafter returned by the purchaser and accepted by the
Lessee or Sub -lessees, and if such refund is in the form of a credit to customer, such credit shall be
included in Gross Revenues when used.

Lessee shall use a Gross Revenue Report, a sample of which is attached herewith and incorporated
herein as Exhibit "D" to itemize any and all reportable Gross Revenues as described in Section 1.1.14
herein.
Section 4.2 Security Deposit.
Simultaneously with the execution of this Lease on the Effective Date, Lessee shall initially
deposit with the Lessor, the sum of Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000) ("Security Deposit"). The Security
Deposit shall be adjusted in the manner described in Section 4.3.1 herein. No interest shall be paid on the
Security Deposit. For so long as the Security Deposit has not been repaid by Lessor, it shall constitute an
account payable by Lessor to Lessee within thirty (30) days following termination of this Lease to the
extent, if any, that the Security Deposit has not been applied by Lessor as hereunder provided.
If Lessee shall default with respect to any covenant duty, or obligation of Lessee under this Lease,
then the Security Deposit or any part thereof may be applied by Lessor (but Lessor shall not be obligated to
do so) to the damages sustained by Lessor by reason of any such default or to indebtedness owing by
reason of any failure of Lessee to make any required monetary payment under this Lease. No such
application shall be construed as an agreement to limit the amount of Lessor's claim or as a waiver of any
damage or release of any indebtedness, and any claims of Lessor under this Lease not recovered in full
from the Security Deposit shall remain in full force and effect. At any time or times when Lessor has made
any such application of all or any part of the Security Deposit, Lessor shall have the right (but not the
obligation) at any time thereafter to request in writing that Lessee pay to Lessor a sum or sums equal to the
amounts so applied by Lessor so that Lessor will always be in possession of a sum equal to 50% of the
annual Minimum Base Rent. Lessee shall make each such requested remittance within ten (10) days
following such request from Lessor and each such remittance received by Lessor shall thereupon constitute
a part of the Security Deposit subject to the terms and provisions thereof. Failure to make any such
requested remittance within such ten (10) day period may be treated by Lessor as a failure by Lessee to
make timely payment of rent and as an Event of Default. In the event of any conveyance or other transfer
of the Property by the Lessor, Lessor's remittance of the Security Deposit or any remaining portion thereof
to the purchaser of the Property shall release and relieve Lessor of any further obligation or liability to
Lessee with respect to the Security Deposit.
Section 4.3 Adjustments to Rent.
4.3.1 Adjustment to Security Deposit.
The Security Deposit shall be adjusted according to the CPI Escalation on the CPI Escalation
Dates, simultaneously with the CPI escalation of Minimum Base Rent ("Adjusted Security Deposit"). In
the instance where the Lessor deducts any amount of the Security Deposit, the Security Deposit shall be
replenished by the Lessee by the adjusted amount of the Security Deposit within fifteen (15) days of the
drawdown of the Security Deposit. The Security Deposit must at all times be equal to the Adjusted
Security Deposit for the Lease Year.

member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers and who has not less than ten (10) years
experience in appraising restaurant, cafe or food establishments. The Lessee shall pay for the appraisal.

minimum rent.

use the income and comparable approach to determine the fair market rental value. The appraiser, in his
discretion, may dispense with formal hearings, it being agreed that his task will be solely that of appraisal.
4.3.2.4 Effect of Appraisal.
8
The fair market rent determined by the appraiser shall be binding and conclusive on the Lessor and
the Lessee, except that in no event shall the fair market rent be adjusted below the Minimum Base Rent and
the Percentage Rent from the current Lease Year.
4.3.2.5 Appraisal Fee.
The Lessee shall be responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of the costs associated with the
hiring of the appraiser.

pay all Rent(s) and their respective increase(s), subject to the CPI Escalation as provided in Section 4.1.2
above.
Following the determination of the Rent by independent appraisal, the Rent will be adjusted as
provided retroactively to the commencement of the respective review Term and the Lessee shall pay to the
Lessor with the next installment of Rent due, the amount, if any, by which the Rent, as adjusted, exceeds
the Rent that has been paid by the Lessee for the retroactive period.
4.3.2.7 Appraisal Dispute.

examine, make extracts from and copy, at the Property or Lessee's main accounting office, Lessee's books,

during the period covered by any statement issued by Lessee. Lessee shall make available to the Lessor's
auditor at the Property or Lessee's main accounting office on the day set forth in Lessor's notice, requiring
such audit, all of the books, source documents, accounts and records referred to in this Lease and any other
materials which such auditor deems necessary or desirable for the purpose of making such audit. Lessee
shall promptly pay to Lessor the amount of any deficiency in Percentage Rent payments disclosed by any

extent of five percent (5%) or more, Lessor may bill to Lessee the cost of such audit, which shall be paid by
Lessee within thirty (30) days after Lessee's receipt of Lessor's invoice. If such audit shall disclose that
Lessee's statement of Gross Revenues is at variance to the extent of ten percent (10%) or more, then Lessor,
in addition to the foregoing remedy and other remedies available to Lessor, shall have the option, upon
Lessee's failure to pay such additional sums within thirty (30) days after written notice to the Lessee, to
declare this Lease terminated and the Lease Term ended, in which event this Lease shall cease and

Lessee shall vacate and surrender the Property but shall remain liable for all obligations arising during the
balance of the original stated term as provided in this Lease. If such audit shall disclose an overpayment,
Lessor shall credit such overpayment towards the next payment of Minimum Base Rent due. In addition to
the foregoing, and in addition to all other remedies available to Lessor, in the event Lessee's auditor and
Lessor's auditor shall schedule a date for an audit of Lessee's records in accordance with this Section 4.7,
and Lessee shall fail to be available or shall otherwise fail to comply with the requirements for such audit,
Lessee shall pay all costs and expenses associated with the canceled audit.
(b) In addition to all other remedies available to Lessor, in the event that any such audit shall
disclose that Lessee's records and other documents as referred to in Section 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 hereof and such
other materials provided by Lessee to Lessor's auditor are inadequate, in the opinion of an independent
CPA serving as Lessor's auditor, to disclose accurately Lessee's Gross Revenues, then Lessee shall have
thirty (30) days to cure any deficiencies raised by Lessor's auditor and shall then notify Lessor so that
Lessor's auditor can continue its audit. If the audit findings show a greater than two percent (2%) or
greater variance, said audit costs will be charged to the Lessee. Lessor's exercise of the foregoing remedy
shall in no way limit or otherwise affect Lessor's ability to exercise other remedies available to it, nor shall
Lessee's obligations pursuant to the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease (including, without
limitation, Lessee's obligation with respect to reporting Gross Revenues and payment of Percentage Rent)
be in any manner reduced or diminished by the exercise of such remedy.

Lessee of its intent to do so, either (i) withhold consent to the sub -lease or assignment, or (ii) consent to
such sub -lease or assignment upon the terms and subject to the conditions provided for in this Article.
Lessee acknowledges and agrees that the Imposition of the conditions described herein as a condition of

the "going public" by Lessee, including, but not limited to, the filing of a registration statement with the

whose shares are publicly traded.
Section 1 1.6 Effectuation of Permitted Transfers.
No transfer of the nature described in Subsection 11.3(b) above shall be effective unless and until:

available to the Lessor for default by Lessee). Nothing herein shall be construed to relive or release the
Lessee from liability for the performance of all of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, unless the
Lessor in writing expressly provides for such a release.

Condemnation Award are made available to it, pursuant to the terms hereof, remodel, repair and restore the
Property so that it shall be comparable to the Property prior to the condemnation, taking into consideration
the fact of the condemnation; provided, however, that in so doing, Lessee shall not be required to expend
more than the amount of any Net Condemnation Award actually received by Lessee.
(b) The Net Condemnation Award allowed to Lessor and Lessee shall be paid to and
received by the Parties as follows:
(i) There shall be paid to the Lessor the value of the portion of the land so taken
and Lessor's reversionary interest in the improvements so taken, which land and reversionary
improvements shall be valued as if unencumbered. Lessor shall further be paid an amount by
which Lessor's Rent and Additional Rent have been reduced by the taking;
(ii) There shall be paid to the Lessee any amount by which Lessee's profits and
value of Lessee's interest in the Lease and the Property have been reduced by the taking after any
payment required by the Lease;
(iii) There shall be paid to the Lessee the amount required to complete the
remodeling and repairs to the Property pursuant to Section 14.2 above;
(iv) The Lessor and Lessee shall be paid portions of the balance of the Net
Condemnation Award or awards, if any, which are allocable to and represented by the value of
their respective interest in the Property as found by the court in its condemnation award. In the
event that a court shall make a single Net Condemnation Award without separately determining
the respective interests of Lessor and Lessee, and if Lessor and Lessee shall not agree in writing as
to their respective portions of such award within twenty (20) days after the date of the final
determination by the court of the amount of it, Lessor and Lessee agree to submit the matter to the
24
court on stipulation for the purpose of a judgment determinative of their respective shares. In the
event for any reason the trial judge refuses to permit a determination by judgment, then the
respective interests of Lessor and Lessee shall be determined by the arbitration provisions set forth
under Section 16.6 of this Lease.
Section 15.3. Adjustment of Rent Upon Partial Taking.
In the event a part of the Property shall be taken for any public use or purpose by the exercise of
the power of eminent domain, or shall be conveyed by Lessor and Lessee acting jointly to avoid
proceedings of such taking, then Rent, and money to be treated as Additional Rent pursuant to this Lease
shall be paid by Lessee to the Date of Taking or conveyance in lieu thereof, and after such date the Rent for
the remainder of the Property shall be reduced in the same proportion that Gross Revenues have been
reduced due to such taking compared to the Gross Revenues immediately prior to the taking.
Section 15.4. Deposit of Condemnation Award with Escrow Agent.
Unless the effect of a condemnation proceeding shall be to terminate this Lease by operation of
law or as provided in Section 14.2 above, any Net Condemnation Award made in respect to the Property in
a condemnation proceeding shall be deposited with an escrow agent selected by the Lessor and Lessee
escrow agent) to be disbursed for the cost of restoring the Property and for other related purposes.
Section 15.5. Temporary Taking.
In the event that all or any portion of the Property shall be taken by the right of condemnation or
the exercise of the power of eminent domain for governmental use or occupancy for a temporary period,
this Lease shall not terminate and Lessee shall continue to perform and observe all of its obligations
(including the obligation to pay Rent as provided throughout this Lease) as though the temporary taking
had not occurred except only to the extent that it may be prevented from so doing by the terms of the order
of the authority which make the temporary taking or by the conditions resulting from the taking, including
the loss of its possession of all or any part of the Property. In the event the taking for governmental
occupancy is for a period entirely within the term of this Lease, then Lessee shall be entitled to receive the
entire amount of any Net Condemnation Award made for the taking, whether paid by way of damages,
Rent or otherwise. If the period of governmental occupancy extends beyond the termination of the Lease
Term, the Lessor shall only be entitled to receive that portion of the Net Condemnation Award allocable to
the period beyond the termination of the Lease Term. The amount of any Net Condemnation Award
payable to Lessee, on account of a temporary taking of all or any part of the Leasehold Improvements, shall
be deemed a part of the Lessee's Leasehold Estate for all purposes in this Lease. If the Net Condemnation
Award does not separately determine the amount applicable to the taking of the interest of the Lessor in this
Lease and in the Leasehold Improvements and if Lessor and Lessee shall not agree in writing as to the
proportion of the award so applicable to the respective Parties, then Lessor and Lessee shall submit the
matter to the court on stipulation for the purpose of a judgment determinative of the interest of the Parties
in accordance with the terms of this Section 15.5. In the event for any reason the trial judge refuses to
permit a determination by judgment, then the respective interests of Lessor and Lessee shall be determined
by the arbitration provisions set forth under Section 16.6 of this Lease.

LESSEE DEFAULTS & LESSOR
REMEDIES FOR DEFAULT
Section 16.1 Lessee Default.
The occurrence of any one or more of the following events is deemed a "Lessee Default:"
(a) If the Lessee defaults in the due and punctual payment of any installment of Minimum
Base Rent, Percentage Rent or any other sums required to be paid hereunder as Additional Rent, as and
when due and payable in accordance with this Lease, and such default continues for more than (10) ten
days after the sum is due;
(b) Except with respect to an event of Force Majeure, in the event Lessee shall cease to
operate its business, unless permitted by Lessor in connection with alterations or renovations, for a period
of fifteen (15) consecutive days;
(c) In the event a petition in bankruptcy under any present or future bankruptcy laws
(including but not limited to reorganization proceedings or voluntary insolvency filing) be filed by or

event Lessee is adjudged a bankrupt;
25
(d) In the event an Assignment for the benefit of creditors is made by Lessee;
(e) In the event of an appointment by any court of a receiver or other court officer of Lessee's
Property and such receivership is not dismissed within thirty (30) days from the date of such appointment;
(f) In the event Lessee removes, attempts to remove, or permits to be removed from the
Property, except in the usual course of trade, the Leasehold Improvements (furnishings, fixtures, and
equipment) installed or placed upon the Property by the Lessee during the Lease Term;
(g) In the event Lessee, before the expiration of the term of this Lease, and without the
written consent of Lessor, vacates the Property or abandons the possession thereof, or uses the same for
purposes other than the purposes for which the same are hereby leased, or ceases to use the Property for the
purposes herein contained;
(h) In the event Lessee does not accept the adjusted Minimum Base Rent and Percentage
Rent rates determined by the independent appraiser.
(i) In the event an execution or other legal process is levied upon the goods, furniture,
effects or other personal property of Lessee brought on the Property, or upon the interest of Lessee in this
Lease, and the same is not satisfied, dismissed or bonded within thirty (30) days from such levy; or
(j) In the event Lessee defaults in the due performance or observance of any lease covenant
or condition or provision, and such default continues for more than for more than sixty (60) days ("Cure
Period") after written notice of the default from the Lessor to the Lessee, unless such default be one which
cannot be cured within sixty (60) days and the Lessee within such sixty (60) day period shall have
commenced and thereafter shall continue to diligently prosecute all actions necessary to cure such defaults,
such failure shall constitute an "Event of Lessee's Default."
Section 16.2 Remedies of Lessor.
(a) If any Lessee Default occurs, Lessor shall have the right after the expiration of the
applicable Cure Period, at the option of Lessor, to terminate this Lease upon providing fifteen (15) days
written notice if the default has not been cured by the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period. An Event
of Default shall be deemed to have occurred at the expiration of the Cure Period if the default has not been
cured by the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period. Additionally, if any Event of Default occurs,
Lessor may, at its option, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, re-enter and re -let the Property,
or any part thereof, as the agent and for the account of Lessee upon such terms and conditions as Lessor
may deem advisable or satisfactory, in which event the rents received on such re -letting shall be applied
first to the expenses of such re -letting and collection including but not limited to, necessary renovation and
alterations of the Property, reasonable attorneys fees, any real estate commissions paid, and thereafter
toward payment of all sums due or to become due to Lessor hereunder, and if a sufficient sum shall not be
thus realized or secured to pay such sums and other charges, at Lessor's option, Lessee shall pay Lessor any
deficiency immediately upon demand therefore, notwithstanding that Lessor may have received periodic
rental in excess of the periodic rental stipulated in this Lease in previous or subsequent rental periods, and
Lessor may bring an action therefore as such deficiency shall arise. Nothing herein, however, shall be
construed to require Lessor to re-enter and re -let the Property in any event. Lessor shall not, in any event,
be required to pay Lessee any surplus of any sums received by Lessor on a re -letting of said Property in
excess of the Rent provided in this Lease.
(b) If any Event of Default occurs, Lessor shall have the right to obtain injunctive and
declaratory relief, temporary and/or permanent, against Lessee or any acts, conduct or omissions of Lessee,
and to further obtain specific performance of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease.
(c) If any Event of Default occurs, Lessor shall have the right, at its option, to declare all
Rent (or any portion thereof) for the entire remaining Lease Term, and other indebtedness owing by Lessee
to Lessor, if any, immediately due and payable without regard to whether possession of the Property shall
have been surrendered to or taken by Lessor, and may commence action immediately thereupon and
recover judgment therefore.
(d) If any Event of Default occurs, Lessor, in addition to other rights and remedies it may
have, shall have the right to remove all or any part of Lessee's personal property from the Property and any
personal property removed may be stored in any public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the
account of Lessee, and Lessor shall not be responsible for the care or safekeeping thereof whether in
transport, storage or otherwise, and Lessee hereby waives any and all claim against Lessor for loss,
destruction and/or damage or injury which may be occasioned by any of the aforesaid acts.
(e) No such re-entry or taking possession of the Property by Lessor shall be construed as an
26
election on Lessor's part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Lessee.
Notwithstanding any such re -letting without termination, Lessor may at all times thereafter elect to
terminate this Lease for such previous default. Any such re-entry shall be allowed by Lessee without
hindrance, and Lessor shall not be liable in damages for any such re-entry, or guilty of trespass or forcible
entry.
(f) Any Rent which may be due Lessor, whether by acceleration or otherwise as herein
provided in this Article, shall include Minimum Base Rent, Percentage Rent and any other rents, costs and
expenses denominated as Additional Rent in this Lease.
(g) It is expressly agreed that the forbearance on the part of Lessor in the institution of any
suit or entry of judgment for any part of the Rent herein reserved to Lessor, shall not serve as a defense
against nor prejudice a subsequent action for such Rent. Lessee hereby expressly waives Lessee's right to
claim a merger or waiver of such subsequent action in any previous suit or in the judgment entered therein.
Furthermore, it is expressly agreed that claims for liquidated Minimum Base Rent and/or Percentage Rent
may be regarded by Lessor, if it so elects, as separate and independent claims capable of being separately
assigned.
(h) Any and all rights, remedies and options given in this Lease to Lessor shall be cumulative
and in addition to and without waiver of, or in derogation of, any right or remedy given to it under any laws
now or hereafter in effect.
Section 16.3 No Waiver by Lessor.
The waiver (either expressed or implied by law) by Lessor of any default of any term, condition or
covenant herein contained shall not be a waiver of any subsequent default of the same or any other term,
condition or covenant herein contained. The consent or approval by Lessor to or of any act by Lessee
requiring Lessor's consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Lessor's consent
to or approval of any subsequent similar act by Lessee. No re-entry hereunder shall bar the recovery of
rents or damages for the default or delay on the part of Lessor to enforce any right hereunder and shall not
be deemed a waiver of any preceding default by Lessee of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, or
a waiver of the right of Lessor to annul this Lease or to re-enter the Property or to re -let same.
Section 16.4 Late Payments.
In the event any payment due Lessor under this Lease shall not be paid on the due date, Lessee
agrees to pay, in addition to the payment then due, one-half (0.5%) percent of the amount due or the sum
of Two Hundred and 0/100 Dollars ($200.00), whichever is greater, for each day that the payment is late,
("Late Fee"), and in the event that any check, bank draft, order for payment or negotiable instrument given
to Lessor for any payment under Lease shall be dishonored for any reason whatsoever not attributable to
Lessor, Lessor, in addition to the Late Fee, shall be entitled to make an administrative charge to Lessee of
One Hundred and 0/100 Dollars ($100.00), or the actual charge, to Lessor by Lessor's bank for dealing with
such dishonored tender, whichever is greater. In the event that it shall be necessary for Lessor to give more
than one (1) written notice to Lessee of any violation of this Lease, during the term hereof, Lessor shall be
entitled to make an administrative charge to Lessee of One Hundred and 0/100 Dollars ($100.00) for each
such subsequent notice after the first notice. Lessee recognizes and agrees that the charges which Lessor is
entitled to make upon the conditions stated in this section represent, at the time this Lease is made, a fair
and reasonable estimate and liquidation of the costs of Lessor in the administration of the Property resulting
from the events described which costs are not contemplated or included in any Rent, or other charges
provided to be paid by Lessee to Lessor in this Lease. Any charges becoming due under this Section of this
Lease shall be added to and become due with the late payment for which the charge was assessed and shall
be collectible as a part thereof.
Section 16.5 Remedies Cumulative.
No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Lessor or the Lessee shall be considered exclusive of
any other remedy, but shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this
Lease or existing at law or in equity or by statute; and every power and remedy given by this Lease to the
Lessor or the Lessee may be exercised from time to time and as often as occasion may arise or as may be
deemed expedient by the Lessor or the Lessee. No delay or omission of Lessor or Lessee to exercise any
right or power arising from any default shall impair any right or power, nor shall it be construed to be a
waiver of any default or any acquiescence in it.
Section 16.6 Disputes.
In the event of a dispute between the Lessor and Lessee as to the terms and conditions of this
Lease, the Executive Director of the CRA and Lessee shall proceed in good faith to resolve the dispute. If
27
the parties are not able to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days of written notice to the other, the
dispute shall be submitted to the CRA Board of Commissioners for resolution within ninety (90) days of
the expiration of such thirty (30) day period or such other period as the parties may agree. The B oard's
decision shall be deemed final and binding on the parties.

reasonable notice to the Lessee (except in the case of an emergency when no notice is required), to examine

when for any reason an entry therein shall be necessary or permissible, Lessor or Lessor's agents may enter

extend to and bind the several respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and the assigns of the
said Parties; and if there shall be more than one Lessee, they shall be bound jointly and severally by the
terms, covenants and agreements herein. Nothing contained in this Lease shall in any manner restrict
Lessor's right to assign or encumber this Lease and, in the event Lessor sells its interest in the Property and

MISCELLANEOUS
Section 21.1 Accord and Satisfaction.
No payment by Lessee or receipt by Lessor of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated to be
paid shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated Rent, nor shall any endorsement
or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord

This Lease and the Exhibits attached hereto and forming a part thereof as if fully set forth herein
constitute all of the covenants, promises, agreements, conditions and understandings between Lessor and

oral or written, between them other than as are herein set forth. Neither Lessor nor Lessor's agents have
made nor shall be bound to any representations with respect to the Property except as herein expressly set
forth, and all representations, either oral or written, shall be deemed to be merged into this Lease. No
course of prior or future dealings between the Parties or their officers, employees, agents or affiliates shall
be relevant or admissible to supplement, explain or vary any of the terms of this Lease. Acceptance of, or
acquiescence in, a course of performance rendered under this or any prior agreement between the Parties or

been negotiated "at arm's length" by and between Lessor and Lessee, each having the opportunity to be
represented by legal counsel of its choice and to negotiate the form and substance of this Lease, and
therefore in construing the provisions of this Lease neither party will be deemed disproportionately
responsible for draftsmanship. The Executive Director shall have the authority to enter into amendments to
this Lease without further approval from the CRA Board.
Section 21.3 Independent Parties

All notices given hereunder shall be effective and deemed to have been given upon receipt by the
party to which notice is being given, said receipt being deemed to have occurred upon hand delivery or

undeliverable, is evidenced by the return receipt or proof of deliver. Notwithstanding any other provision
hereof, Lessor shall also have the right to give notice to Lessee in any other manner provided by law. If
there shall be more than one Lessee, any notice required or permitted by the terms of this Lease may be
given by or to any one thereof, and shall have the same force and effect as if given to all thereof.
Section 21.5 Captions and Section Numbers.
The captions, section numbers, and article numbers appearing in this Lease are inserted only as a
matter of convenience and in no way define, limit, construe, or describe the scope or intent of such sections
or articles of this Lease nor in any way affect this Lease.
Section 21.6 Partial Invalidity.
If any term, covenant or condition of this Lease or the application thereof to any person or
circumstances shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, the application
of such term, covenant or condition to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held
invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and each term, covenant or condition of this Lease
shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Section 21.7 Estoppel Certificate.
Lessee agrees that it will, at any time and from time to time, within ten (10) Business days
following written notice by Lessor specifying that it is given pursuant to this Section, execute, acknowledge
and deliver to Lessor a statement in writing certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and
effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect and stating the
modifications), and the date to which the Minimum Base Rent, Percentage Rent and any other payments
due hereunder from Lessee have been paid in advance, if any, and stating whether or not there are defenses
or offsets claimed by Lessee and whether or not to the best knowledge of Lessee, Lessor is in default in
performance of any, covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Lease, and if so, specifying each
such default of which Lessee may have knowledge. The failure of Lessee to execute, acknowledge and
deliver to Lessor a statement in accordance with the provisions of this Section within said ten (10) Business
day period shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder and shall also constitute an acknowledgment by
Lessee, which may be relied on by any person holding or proposing to acquire an interest in the Property or
any party thereof or this Lease from or through the other party, that this Lease is unmodified and in full
force and effect and that such rents have been duly and fully paid to and including the respective due dates
immediately preceding the date of such notice and shall constitute, as to any person entitled as aforesaid to
rely upon such statement, a waiver of any defaults which may exist prior to the date of such notice. It is
agreed that nothing contained in the provisions of this Section shall constitute waiver by Lessor of any
default in payment of Rent or other charges existing as of the date of such notice and, unless expressly
consented to in writing by Lessor and, Lessee shall still remain liable for the same.
Section 21.9 Waiver.
Failure on the part of either part of complain of any action or non -action on the part of the
30
other, no matter how long the same may continue, shall never be deemed to be a waiver by such party of
any of its rights hereunder. Further, it is covenanted and agreed that no waiver at any time of any of the
provisions hereof by either party shall be construed as a waiver of any of the other provisions hereof, and
that a waiver at any time of any of the provisions hereof shall not be construed as a waiver at any
subsequent time of the same provisions. The consent or approval to or of any action by either party
requiring such consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary such consent or
approval to or of any subsequent similar act by such party.
Section 21.10 Time is of the Essence.
Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every provision of this Lease in
which time of performance is a factor.
Section 21.11 Governing Law.
It is the intent of the Parties hereto that all questions with respect to the construction of the Lease
and the rights and the liabilities of the Parties hereto shall be determined in accordance with the laws of
Florida and that all disputes arising hereunder shall be heard and decided in Miami -Dade County, Florida.
Section 21.12 Waiver of Counterclaims.
Lessee shall not impose any counterclaim or counterclaims for damages in a summary proceeding
or other action based on termination or holdover, it being the intent of the Parties hereto that Lessee is
strictly limited in such instances to bringing a separate action in the court of appropriate jurisdiction. The
foregoing waiver is a material inducement to Lessor making, executing and delivering this Lease and
Lessee's waiver of its right to counterclaim in any summary proceeding or other action based on
termination or holdover is done so knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily.
Section 21.13 Waiver of Jury Trial.
Lessor and Lessee hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by
either of the Parties hereto against the other on, or in respect of, any matter whatsoever arising out of or in
any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Lessor and Lessee hereunder, Lessee's use or
occupancy of the Lease Property and/or any claim of injury or damage.

provisions, covenants and conditions imposed upon the Lessee, the Lessor covenants to the Lessee that the
Lessee shall peaceably and quietly hold, occupy and enjoy the Property for the Lease Term without any
interruption, disturbance or hindrance by the Lessor, its successors and assigns, or by persons claiming by,
through or under the Lessor for the Property leased herein, or by persons with title superior to the Lessor,
its successors and assigns.
Section 21.15 Surrender of Possession.

Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor possession of the Property in good repair and condition, reasonable wear
and tear excepted.

if two or more individuals, corporations, partnerships or other business associations (or any
combination of two or more thereot) shall sign this Lease as Lessee, or by virtue of a Transfer assume the
rights and obligations of the Lessee hereunder, the liability of each such individuals, corporations,
partnerships or other business associations (or any combination of two or more thereof) to pay Rent and
perform all other obligations hereunder shall be deemed to be joint and several, and all notices, payments
and agreements given or made by, with or to any one of such individuals, corporations, partnerships or
other business associations (or any combination of two or more thereof) shall be deemed to have been
given or made by, with or all of them.
Section 21.17 Third Party Beneficiary.
Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed so as to confer upon any other party the rights
of third party beneficiary.
Section 21.18 Radon.
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 public health unit.
Section 21.19 No Liability for Act of other Party
31
Lessee shall not sign any contract, application for any license or permit or do anything that may
result in liability to the Lessor for any indebtedness or obligation of Lessee, unless expressly provided
herein or approved in writing by the Lessor. Except as expressly authorized in writing, neither Lessor nor
Lessee shall make any express or implied agreement, warranties, guarantees or representations or incur any
debt, or represent that their relationship is other than Lessor and Lessee, unless otherwise agreed to herein
