detailed design drawings of the Park Site Development (the "Schematic Drawines") within a
reasonable period of time after approval of the Conceptual Drawings. The Schematic Drawings
may include 3D renderings, site plans, architectural, engineering, structural, mechanical,
electrical, landscape and plumbing plans; preliminary grading and drainage plans; soil tests;
utilities; water and sewer service connections; vehicular and pedestrian traffic circulation plans,
including locations of ingress and egress to and from the Park Site Development; curbs, gutters,
and parkways, as applicable; lighting, all sufficient to enable the City to review the Schematic
Drawings for conformity to the Conceptual Drawings and the Park Concept Plans.
(v) Upon approval by the City of the Schematic Drawings, Architect and any
Engineers will complete the Construction Plans for the Park Site Development. The Construction
Plans shall illustrate and describe the further development of the Park Site Development, setting
forth the quality levels of materials and systems and other requirements for the construction of
the Park Site Development, all in detail sufficient and appropriate for a Contractor to agree to a
price for a contract for the construction of the Park Site Development (the "Contract") and
submission to the applicable Governmental Agencies having jurisdiction over the issuance of
Permits for the Improvements.
(vi) Upon the approval by the City of the Construction Plans, MFP shall
provide the City with a set of plans signed by all parties as approved. In the event any change is
proposed after approval of the final Construction Plans, other than Minor Revisions (as
hereinafter defined), then MFP must resubmit the proposed changes to the Construction Plans for
the City's approval. The City expressly consents to minor changes in the Construction Plans that
do not materially increase total project costs or materially extend the time to achieve substantial
completion of the Park Site Development and comply with Applicable Laws ("Minor
Revisions").
(vii) The City's approval of any plans pursuant to this Agreement shall not
relieve MFP of its obligations under Applicable Law to file such plans with any department of
the City or any other Governmental Agency having jurisdiction over the issuance of Permits and
to take such steps as are necessary to obtain issuance of such Permits. MFP acknowledges that
any approval given by the City pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute an opinion or
agreement by the City that the plans are structurally sufficient or in compliance with any
Applicable Laws, and no such approval shall impose any liability upon the City related thereto.
(b) Construction Phase.
(i) MFP will assume full responsibility for supervising the
performance of all of the work under the Contract, and for the methods, means, and equipment
used in performing the Contract and for all materials, tools, apparatus, and property of every
description used in connection therewith.
MIADOCS 18557371 1345 85.0002
(ii) MFP will review all of Contractor's applications for payment and
cause Contractor to be paid for the construction of the Park Site Development.
(iii) MFP shall conduct any and all tests of the work or inspections required by
any Governmental Agencies or otherwise provided for in the Contract. All testing and analysis
required to be performed by third parties shall be performed by qualified persons authorized to
perform such tests by Governmental Agencies having jurisdiction.
(iv) The City, its employees, agents, representatives and contractors, may at
any reasonable time and with reasonable notice conduct such on-site observations, inspections
and testing, as the City deems necessary or desirable to ascertain whether the work complies with
the terms of this Agreement provided that such persons adhere to all required safety instructions
and directives governing the construction site and shall not interfere in any manner with the
progress of the work. The costs of any such inspections and testing shall be paid by the City.
(v) Each of the Parties shall secure and deliver to the other promptly and
immediately upon request, all required certificates of inspections, test reports, work logs,
certified payroll and approvals with respect to the work.
(vi) When the Park Site Development is substantially complete, MFP shall
famish the City with a complete set of final record documents, which will include as -built plans
and survey for the constructed improvements. Within ninety (90) days of final completion of the
Park Site Development, MFP shall provide the City with two (2) signed and sealed sets of
complete as -built drawings for the Park Site Development certified both by the Architect(s)
and/or Engineer(s) of record and also by the Professional Surveyor and Mapper (PSM) where
required. As -built shall show all changes and deviations from or to permitted plans and drawings
and include as -built dimensions and elevations recorded or verified by the PSM. All as -built
information regarding underground or otherwise concealed facilities shall be taken in the field
concurrently with the program of construction and before facilities are covered or otherwise
concealed. Otherwise, MFP's Contractor or design -builder, as the case may be, shall expose (and
restore) sufficient areas of work to allow the PSM to meet the aforementioned dimension,
elevation, and location verification certification requirements. The as -built drawing shall be
submitted to the City in hard copy and AutoCAD format or in Geographic Information System
as -built information format.
(c) Access to Records by Auditor General.
All records of MFP, the Contractor and any subcontractors pertaining to the Park Site
Development shall be maintained and, upon reasonable notice, shall be made available for
inspection to representatives of the City. In addition, the Office of the Independent Auditor
General of the City shall have access thereto for any of the purposes provided in any City Code.

Guaranty
CONTINUING GUARANTY
THIS IS A GENERAL GUARANTY WHICH IS ENFORCEABLE BY THE LANDLORD, ITS
SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. THIS IS ALSO AN ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY.
For value received and in consideration of and in order to induce
, a (the "City") to enter into
that certain Park Rehabilitation and Environmental Agreement to which this Guaranty or a form
of this Guaranty is attached, between City and Miami Freedom Park, LLC, a
limited liability company (the "MFP"), for
(the "Agreement") and other good and
valuable considerations, the undersigned (the "Guarantor"), acting as principal and not as surety
merely, absolutely and unconditionally, for himself and his legal representatives, successors, and
assigns, guarantees to the City and to its legal representatives, successors, and assigns, the
prompt and full performance and observance by the MFP and by its legal representatives,
successors, and assigns, of all of the covenants, terms, provisions, conditions, and agreements
required to be performed by MFP under the Agreement, whether, before, during, or after the
term of the Agreement.
Terms used in this Guaranty which are defined in the Agreement shall have the same
definitions as those terms have in the Agreement unless the context clearly indicates a contrary
intent.
Notice of all defaults is waived and consent is given to all extensions of time that the City
may grant to MFP in the performance of any of the terms of the Agreement or to the waiving in
whole or in part of performance, or to the releasing of MFP in whole or in part from any
performance, or to the adjusting of any dispute concerning the Agreement; and no defaults,
extensions, waivers, releases, or adjustments, with or without the knowledge of the undersigned,
shall affect or discharge the liability of the undersigned. The undersigned shall pay all expenses,
including legal fees and disbursements paid or incurred by City in endeavoring to enforce this
Guaranty.
This Guaranty shall not be impaired by, and Guarantor consents to, any modification,
supplement, extension, or amendment of the Agreement to which the parties to the Agreement
may hereafter agree. The liability of the Guarantor hereunder is direct and unconditional and
may be enforced without requiring the City first to resort to any other right, remedy, or security.
Presentment, notice, and demand to MFP and Guarantor and subsequent dishonor are not
conditions for proceeding against Guarantor. Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation,
reimbursement, or indemnity whatsoever, nor any right of recourse to security for the debts and
obligations of MFP to City. Guarantor waives all defenses based on claims that City has
impaired any collateral for the MFP's obligations to City or to Guarantor, including any such
claim based on City's failure to perfect or maintain any security interest in MFP's property.
MIADOCS 18557371 1345 85.0002
This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty that shall be effective before the commencement
of the term of the Agreement, and shall remain effective following the term of the Agreement as
to any surviving provisions that remain effective after the termination of the Agreement. The
Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty shall also continue in full force and effect after any
transfer of MFP's interest under the Agreement.
The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall in no way be affected, modified, or
diminished by reason of any of the following, (a) any assignment, renewal, modification,
amendment, or extension of the Agreement, or (b) any modification or waiver of or change in
any of the terms, covenants, and conditions of the Agreement by City and MFP, or (c) any
extension of time that may be granted by City to MFP, or (d) any consent, release, indulgence, or
other action, inaction, or omission under or in respect of the Agreement, or (e) any dealings,
transactions or matters, between City and MFP that may cause the Agreement to terminate,
including without limitation, any adjustment, compromise, deferral, waiver, settlement, accord
and satisfaction, or release of MFP's obligations under the Agreement, or (f) any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, arrangement, assignment for the benefit of creditors,
receivership, trusteeship, or similar proceeding affecting MFP, or the rejection or disaffirmance
of the Agreement in any proceedings, whether or not notice of the proceedings is given to
Guarantor, or any cap on City's claim against MFP in any such proceedings. Further, Guarantor
waives all defenses to its obligations under this Guaranty based on any delay between the
effective date of the Agreement and the date of Guarantor's execution of this Guaranty,
including the defense of lack of consideration, and Guarantor agrees that, notwithstanding any
such delay, Guarantor has received sufficient consideration for its execution of this Guaranty, the
delivery of which is a condition to City's obligations under the Agreement.
Should City be obligated by any bankruptcy or other law to repay to MFP or to Guarantor
or to any trustee, receiver, or other representative of either of them, any amounts previously paid,
this Guaranty shall be reinstated in the amount of the repayments. City shall not be required to
litigate or otherwise dispute its obligation to make any repayments if it in good faith believes that
the obligation exists.
For purposes of this Guaranty, on a default by MFP under the Agreement the entire
balance of all amounts due under the Agreement for the remainder of the term of the Agreement
may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in the Agreement notwithstanding
any stay, injunction, or other prohibition preventing a similar declaration as against MFP and, in
the event of any such declaration by City, all of the obligations (whether or not due and payable
by MFP) shall forthwith become due and payable by Guarantor under this Guaranty.
No delay on the part of City in exercising any right under this Guaranty or failure to
exercise any right shall operate as a waiver of or otherwise affect any right nor shall any single or
partial exercise of a right preclude any other or further exercise of the right or the exercise of any
other right.
No waiver or modification of any provision or this Guaranty nor any termination of this
Guaranty shall be effective unless in writing and signed by City; nor shall any such waiver be
applicable except in the specific instance for which given.
MIADOCS 18557371 1345 85.0002
All of City's rights and remedies under the Agreement and under this Guaranty, now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, are intended to be distinct,
separate, and cumulative and no exercise or partial exercise of any right or remedy mentioned in
the Agreement or this Guaranty is intended to be in exclusion of or a waiver of any of the others.
Guarantor waives and releases all rights of subrogation it may have against MFP on
account of any payments made by Guarantor to City.
If City assigns the Agreement or sells the Public Park Parcel or the Demised Property (as
defined in the Ground Lease), City may assign this Guaranty to the assignee or transferee, who
shall thereupon succeed to the rights of City under this Guaranty to the same extent as if the
assignee were an original guaranteed party named in this Guaranty, and the same rights shall
accrue to each subsequent assignee of this Guaranty. If MFP assigns or sublets the Demised
Property (as defined in the Ground Lease), the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty
shall remain in full force and effect.
From time to time, Guarantor, on not less than five days' prior notice, shall execute and
deliver to City an estoppel certificate in a form generally consistent with the requirements of
institutional lenders and certified to City and any mortgagee or prospective mortgagee or
purchaser of the Demised Property or Public Park Parcel. In addition, if requested, Guarantor
shall provide any financial information concerning Guarantor that may be reasonably requested
by any mortgagee or prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Demised Property or Public Park
Parcel.
If any provision of this Guaranty or the application of any provision to any person or
circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of that provision
and this Guaranty and the application of the provision to persons or circumstances other than
those as to which it is invalid or enforceable shall not be affected thereby, and the remainder of
the provision and this Guaranty shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.
As a further inducement to City to make and enter into the Lease and in consideration of
City's execution of the Lease, City and Guarantor waive trial by jury in any action or proceeding
brought on, under, or by virtue of this Guaranty.
Without regard to principles of conflicts of laws, the validity, interpretation, performance,
and enforcement of this Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
internal laws of the State of Florida and shall be deemed to have been made and performed in the
State of Florida.
Any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in any way connected with this Guaranty
shall only be instituted in a court (federal or state) located in Miami -Dade County, Florida,
which shall be the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for litigation concerning this Guaranty. City
and Guarantor shall be subject to the personal jurisdiction of those courts in any legal action or
proceeding. In addition, City and Guarantor waive any objection that they may now have or
hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding in those courts, and further
waive the right to plead or claim that any action or proceeding brought in any of those courts has
been brought in an inconvenient form.
MIADOCS 18557371 1345 85.0002
City has entered into the Agreement on the condition that Guarantor shall maintain a
minimum net worth that is not less than the Guarantor's net worth as set forth in the financial
statements submitted by Guarantor to City before the Effective Date of the Agreement. Should
Guarantor's net worth fall below this minimum level as a result of a transfer of Guarantor's
assets or an increase in Guarantor's liabilities and not as a result of fluctuations in the market
value of Guarantor's assets, Guarantor shall be in default under this Guaranty and under the
Agreement. In that event, City may declare all amounts due under the Lease for the remainder of
the term of the Agreement to be forthwith due and payable notwithstanding any stay, injunction,
or other prohibition preventing a similar declaration as against MFP and, in the event of any such
declaration by City, all of the obligations (whether or not due and payable by MFP) shall
forthwith become due and payable by Guarantor under this Guaranty.
If there is more than one Guarantor, the liability of each Guarantor shall be joint and
several with all other Guarantors.
Guarantor authorizes City to obtain credit reports and information regarding Guarantor
from time to time in City's discretion.
CITY AND GUARANTOR KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY, AND
VOLUNTARILY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR
COUNTERCLAIM INVOLVING ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN
ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS GUARANTY AND THE LEASE.
