RECITALS WHEREAS, the City owns and operates a public facility known as the Manuel Artime Community Center located at 970 Southwest 1st Street, Miami, Florida ("Building"); and WHEREAS, on January 28, 2008, the City Commission passed and adopted Resolution File Number: 08-00087, authorizing the City Manager to issue Revocable License Agreements with revised rates for the use of office space at the Building; and WHEREAS, Licensee has expressed its interest in utilizing office space in the Building; and WHEREAS, this Agreement is not assignable; and WHEREAS, this Agreement is revocable -at -will by the City and without the consent of the Licensee; and WHEREAS, this Agreement does not transfer an interest in real property including any leasehold interest in real property owned by the City; and WHEREAS, this Agreement does not confer a right to use any real property for any general purposes; and WHEREAS, this Agreement does not convey or transfer any right to exclude the City from any real property; and WHEREAS, this Agreement permits only certain, enumerated, specific and listed permitted uses and does not permit anything further; NOW, THEREFORE, in order to carry out the intent as expressed herein and in consideration of the mutual agreements subsequently contained, the City and Licensee agree as follows: 3 1. PURPOSE. The City is the owner of real property and improvements thereon at 970 SW 1 st Street, Miami, Florida ("Property"). The City has determined that Office 408, consisting of a total square footage of approximately 444 square feet located within the Property ("Area"), depicted as Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof, is not needed at this time by any of the City's offices or departments. The City has expressed its desire to assist the Licensee in accomplishing its purpose and in furtherance thereof authorizes the Licensee to occupy and use the Area under the conditions hereinafter set forth. The use of the Area is limited to Licensee's use of the space as an education center for the purposes of advancing knowledge of the fine arts and from time to time rehearsals for plays to local under privileged children, seniors and children of school age and as a local administrative office used to serve its constituents and is not to be used for any other purpose whatsoever ("Permitted Use"). The Permitted Use for administrative activities shall commence from 8am until 8pm each and every day on weekdays. Any use of the Area not authorized under the Permitted Use must receive the prior written consent of the City Manager or his/her designee or authorized representative of the City of Miami. This consent may be withheld for any or no reason, including, but not limited to additional financial consideration. 2. OCCUPANCY AND USE PERIOD. The Effective Date of this Agreement is the date on which Licensee occupies the premises, ("Effective Date"), and shall continue on a month -to -month basis until the first to occur of the following: (a) revocation of this Agreement by either party upon not less than thirty (30) days written notice; or (b) termination by request of any of the parties hereto, subject to Paragraph 22, Paragraph 23 and/or Paragraph 24 of the Agreement. 3. INTEREST CONFERRED BY THIS AGREEMENT. Licensee agrees that this Agreement has been issued by the City to authorize Licensee to occupy the Area solely for the limited purpose of operating its operations therein in accordance with the Permitted Use and for no other purpose. The parties hereby agree that the provisions of this Agreement do not constitute a lease and the rights of Licensee hereunder are not those of a 4 tenant but are a mere personal privilege to do certain acts of a temporary character and to otherwise use the Area subject to the terms of this Agreement. No leasehold interest in the Area is conferred upon Licensee under the provisions hereof and Licensee does not and shall not claim at any time any leasehold estate or ownership interest in the Area by virtue of this Agreement or its use of the Area hereunder. Additionally, Licensee does not and shall not claim at any time any interest or estate of any kind or extent whatsoever in the Area by virtue of any expenditure of funds by the Licensee for improvements, construction, repairs, partitions or alterations to the Area which may be authorized by the City. 4. REVOCATION -AT -WILL. This Agreement is revocable at the will of the City. The City Manager may revoke this Agreement at will and in writing without prior notice to Licensee. 5. USE FEE. In consideration for the use of the Office Space, commencing from the Effective Date of the Agreement, Licensee agrees to pay to the City for the use of Office 408 with approximately 444 square feet. The total square footage licensed to Licensee is approximately 444 square feet. The Use Fee will be discounted at the 25% rate per Resolution R-08-0070, attached herein as Exhibit B, for a monthly Use Fee in the amount of five hundred ninety three dollars and sixty seven cents ($593.67), plus State Sales Tax if applicable, which shall be paid in advance and in full on the first day of each month, without notice or demand (the "Use Fee"). If the Effective Date does not fall on the first of the month, then the Use Fee will be prorated accordingly and paid in advance. For clarification, the Use Fee was calculated as follows; Office 408 with an approximate square footage of 444 square feet is multiplied by the discounted rate of $11.25 per square foot. However, per Resolution R-08-0070, Section 2(B)(2) Agreements commencing in future years shall pay a Use Fee reflecting the accumulated annual increase of 3% per year beginning from October 1st, 2008. See Exhibit C for chart of accumulated Use Fee amounts for this specific agreement. The current Use Fee; accounting for accumulated increases each year as of October 1, 2019 is approximately $16.04 per square foot for an annual sum of seven thousand one hundred and twenty-one dollars and sixty-eight cents ($7,121.68). 5 The final amount due for the Use Fee is calculated as follows: 444 square feet times $11.25 per square foot as of 2008 equals four thousand nine hundred and ninety five dollars and zero cents ($4,995.00) in annual Use Fees due or four hundred sixteen dollars and twenty five cents ($416.25) each month. Per Resolution R-08-0070 new Agreements will have an accumulated increase as of October 1st, 2008 each year. Accounting for accumulated increases of 3% each year, the annual Use Fee as of October 1st, 2019 is ($4,995.00) annually or ($416.25) each month. The formula as of October 1st, 2019 is as follows: (444sqft + 0 = 444sqft), (444sqft * 11.25:2008rate = $4,995.00annually) ($4,995/12 = $416.25monthly). As of October 1st, 2019, the annual Use Fee has matured to ($7,121.68annually) or ($593.47) per month. See Exhibit C for annual compound growth rate. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to grant Licensee the right to use or occupy the Area for a term greater than on a month -to -month basis. Payments shall be made payable to "City of Miami" and shall be mailed to 444 S.W. 2nd Avenue, 3th Floor, Department of Real Estate and Asset Management, Attn: Lease Manager Miami, Florida 33130, or such other address as may be designated from time to time. 6. LATE FEE AND INTEREST. In the event any installment of the Use Fee is not received by the City within five (5) days after it becomes due, Licensee shall pay to City a late charge of ten percent (10%) of the amount due. Such late fee shall constitute additional fees due and payable to City by Licensee upon the date of payment of the delinquent payment referenced above. Acceptance of such late charge by City shall not constitute a waiver of Licensee's violations with respect to such overdue amount nor prevent City from the pursuit of any remedy to which City may otherwise be entitled. Any amount not paid to the City 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 until paid. Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any violation by the Licensee. 7. RETURNED CHECK FEE. In the event any check is returned to the City as uncollectible, the Licensee shall pay to City a returned check fee (the "Returned Check Fee") based on the following schedule: Returned Amount Returned Check Fee 6 $00.01 - 50.00 $20.00 $50.01 - 300.00 $30.00 $300.01 - 800.00 $40.00 OVER $800 5% of the returned amount. Such returned check fee shall constitute additional fees due and payable to the City by Licensee upon the date of payment of the delinquent payment referenced above. Acceptance of such returned check fee by City shall, in no event, constitute a waiver of Licensee's violations with respect to such overdue amount nor prevent City from the pursuit of any remedy to which City may otherwise be entitled. 8. GUARANTEE DEPOSIT. Licensee shall deposit with City the amount of one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500.00) ("Guarantee"), as guarantee for the full and faithful performance by Licensee of all obligations of Licensee under this Agreement or in connection with this Agreement. Licensee shall pay the Guarantee Deposit upon execution of the Agreement. If Licensee is in violation beyond any applicable notice or cure period, the City may use, apply or retain all or any part of the Guarantee for the payment of (i) any fee or other sum of money which Licensee was obligated to pay but did not pay, (ii) any sum expended by City on Licensee's behalf in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or (iii) any sum which City may expend or be required to expend as a result of Licensee's violation. Should the City use, apply or retain all or any part of the Guarantee, the Licensee shall reimburse the amounts used, applied or retained within thirty (30) days. The use, application or retention of the Guarantee or any portion thereof by City shall not prevent City from exercising any other right or remedy provided for under this Agreement or at law and shall not limit any recovery to which City may be entitled otherwise. Provided Licensee is not in violation of this Agreement, the Guarantee or balance thereof, as the case may be, shall be returned to Licensee upon the termination of this Agreement or upon any later date after which Licensee has vacated the Area in the same condition or better as existed on the Effective Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

Licensee shall not be entitled to receive any interest on the Guarantee. 7 9. INCREASE OF GUARANTEE.

This increase shall be paid by Licensee to City forthwith on demand. 10. ADJUSTMENT TO USE FEE.
