2. RENT:     Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord without demand, deduction or offset, together with all sales and use taxes levied upon the use and occupancy of the Premises, at the address of Landlord hereinabove set forth or at such other place as Landlord may in writing designate, an initial annual rent as further described in the attached Addendum to Lease #1, plus applicable sales tax, payable in equal monthly installments as per the attached Addendum to Lease #1, plus applicable sales tax. Tenant shall pay the first monthly installment of Rent (and any pro-rated amounts) on the execution hereof. All Rent is payable in advance, on the first day of each month and without demand, deduction or offset. If any monthly payment of Rent is not received by Landlord within seven (7) days from the date it is due, a "late charge" of six percent (6%) of such payment shall be due Landlord as "Additional Rent" and to compensate Landlord administratively for its having to receive and handle monies untimely paid.


 


	 	
			A.

				
			Tenant shall pay Tenant’s proportionate share of Project Operating Expenses over the Base Year 2015.

			



 


	 	
			B.

				
			Tenant’s “proportionate share” shall mean a proportion of the Project Area Operating Expenses, calculated by multiplying the total Project Area Operating Expenses by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of square feet contained in the Leased Premises and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate number of square feet of leasable building space in the Project, which Tenant’s current proportionate share is hereby agreed to be ProRata. In the event of a change in the leasable building space of the Project due to expansion, reduction or otherwise, Tenant’s proportionate share shall be adjusted accordingly upon written notice from Landlord to Tenant of the change.

			



 


	 	
			C.

				
			"Project Area Operating Expenses" as used herein means the total cost and expense incurred in operating and repairing the Project buildings and improvements and common facilities, hereinafter defined, excluding only items of expense commonly known and designated as debt service, plus an administrative fee of fifteen percent (15%) of that sum. Operating Expenses do not include HVAC replacement, roof replacement and pavement replacement.

			



 


	 	
			D.

				
			Landlord may estimate the Project Area Operating Expenses and Tenant shall pay one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant's current proportionate share of said estimated amount monthly in advance, together with the next due payment of Base Rent. After the end of each Lease Year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant a statement of the actual Project Area Operating Expenses. Within thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of said statement, Tenant shall have the right in person to inspect Landlord's books and records as pertain to said Project Area Operating Expenses, at Landlord's office, during normal business hours, upon four (4) days prior written notice. The statement shall become final and conclusive between the parties unless Landlord receives written detailed objections with respect thereto within said thirty (30) day period. Any balance shown to be due pursuant to said statement shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days following Tenant's receipt thereof and any overpayment shall be immediately credited against Tenant's obligation to pay Additional Rent in connection with anticipated Project Area Operating Expenses for the next year, or, if by reason of any termination of this Lease no such future obligation exists, refunded to Tenant. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not delay or withhold payment of any balance shown to be due pursuant to a statement rendered by Landlord to Tenant because of any objection which Tenant may raise with respect thereto and Landlord shall immediately credit or refund any overpayment found to be owing to Tenant as aforesaid upon the resolution of said objection.

			



 


	 	
			E.

				
			Additional Rent due by reason of this section for the final months of this Lease is due and payable even though it may not be calculated until subsequent to the termination date of the Lease and shall be prorated according to that portion of said calendar year that this Lease was actually in effect. Tenant expressly agrees that Landlord, at Landlord's sole discretion, may apply the Security Deposit, in full or partial satisfaction of any Additional Rent due for the final months of this Lease, but nothing herein contained shall be construed to relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay any Additional Rent due for the final months of this Lease, nor shall Landlord be required to first apply said Security Deposit to such Additional Rent if there are any other sums or amounts owed Landlord by Tenant by reason of any other terms or provisions of this Lease

3. USE:     Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises only for administrative offices, distribution and storage incidental to the normal and customary conduct of its current business operation, which is further described as medical product manufacturing & distribution and for absolutely no other purpose. Tenant shall comply with the provisions of all recorded covenants, conditions, restrictions and all building, zoning, fire and other governmental laws, ordinances, regulations and rules applicable to the Premises and all requirements of the carriers of insurance covering the premises and the property to which it is a part. No use considered hazardous by Landlord or Landlord’s insurer shall be permitted.


 


4. DELAY:     If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises on the anticipated date of the commencement of the term (see Paragraph 1), because the occupant refuses to give up possession, or for any other reason whatsoever, Landlord shall not be liable for failure to deliver possession on said date, but the Rent payable shall be abated until Landlord tenders’ possession to Tenant. The Expiration Date of the Lease shall not be extended as a result thereof.


 


5. SECURITY DEPOSIT:     Tenant has delivered to Landlord the sum of $3,400.00 as a security deposit for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of the terms hereof, such security deposit to be retained in a non-interest bearing account, and to be returned, less any sums required to enforce the terms of this Lease, to Tenant after the Expiration Date and after Tenant has vacated the Premises and upon the full and timely performance by Tenant of the provisions of the Lease on its part to be performed. Tenant may not under any circumstances use the security deposit as Rent. Landlord shall have the right to apply any part of the security deposit to cure any non-performance by Tenant and if Landlord does so, Tenant shall upon demand deposit with Landlord the amount so applied, in order to restore the deposit to its original amount. A failure to restore the deposit shall be a default under the terms of this Lease. The Real Estate Broker(s) involved in this Lease transaction shall not be in receipt of the security deposit and shall not be responsible for the care, deposit or return of same.


 


6. UTILITIES AND SERVICE AND TAXES: Landlord and Tenant mutually agree that the consumption/usage of water/sewer directly attributable to the Tenant’s specific operation may be separately sub-metered. If it is, Landlord will only pay for normal water consumption and sewer charges for washroom facilities. Based on a typical occupancy, an average of approximately $0.10 per square foot per year of each water/sewer bill shall be designated as normal consumption. Landlord shall calculate and bill to Tenant, at the then current rates as billed to Landlord, the periodic charges, less the calculated normal consumption for water and sewer consumption in respect of the Premises. Tenant shall, upon receipt of such billing in reasonable detail by Landlord, promptly, reimburse Landlord for such water and sewer charges in respect of the Premises. Tenant shall pay for all other utilities used by the Tenant in the Premises. Landlord shall not be liable for damages to Tenant’s business and/or inventory or for any other claim by or through Tenant resulting from an interruption of utility services.


 


Tenant shall pay for all other utilities, including, but not limited to, all other water and sewer charges (as Additional Rent) and electricity. Landlord will pay all real property taxes and assessments.


 


7. ASSIGNMENT/SUBLEASE:     Neither Tenant nor Tenant's legal representatives or successors in interest, by operation of law or otherwise, may or shall assign this Lease, or sublet or permit all or any part of the Premises to be used by others, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance. Landlord agrees that it will not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to such a subletting or such an assignment. Any mortgage, pledge, encumbrance, or transfer, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, is and shall be deemed an assignment hereunder. Additionally, if Tenant is not an individual, any merger, consolidation, reorganization, or liquidation of Tenant, and any sale or transfer of a majority of any member’s, partner’s or stockholder’s interest in Tenant during the term of this Lease shall constitute an assignment for purposes of this paragraph. Any assignment or subletting without Landlord’s prior written consent shall be voidable by Landlord. Despite Landlord’s consent to any assignment or subletting, Tenant, and all guarantors of Tenant’s performance hereunder, shall continue to remain completely liable for the performance of all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Landlord, at its option, may prescribe the substance and form of such assignment or sublease documents.


 


In the event of the transfer, sale or assignment by Landlord of its interest in this Lease and/or the real property or building containing the Premises, either of which it may do at its sole option, Landlord shall upon such transfer, sale or assignment be released from any further obligations hereunder, and Tenant agrees to attorn to and look solely to Landlord's successor in interest for performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder and to release and hold Landlord harmless from all claims arising from or after such transfer, sale or assignment.


 


8. DEFAULT:     Tenant will be in default of this Lease: (a) if Rent or Additional Rent, (which term as used heretofore and hereinafter shall mean all monies not designated as "Rent" in the Lease but which are nevertheless payable by Tenant to Landlord under the terms and provisions of this Lease), together with all taxes owing thereon, is not paid within three (3) days after written notice from Landlord or within ten (10) calendar days of when due if no legal or formal demand has been made by Landlord, whichever occurs first; or (b) if Tenant shall have failed to cure a default in the performance of any obligation of Tenant under the Lease (except the payment of Rent and Additional Rent) within ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Landlord; or (c) if a petition in bankruptcy shall be filed by Tenant or if Tenant shall make a general assignment for the benefit for creditors; or (d) if a petition in bankruptcy shall be filed against Tenant and such proceeding is not vacated within thirty (30) days; or (e) if the Premises become and remain vacant for a continuous period of ten (10) days during the Term of the Lease; or (f) if the Premises are used for some purpose other than the authorized use; or (g) if Tenant mortgages, assigns, or otherwise encumbers Tenant’s leasehold interest or any portion thereof; or (h) if the Premises or any portion thereof is used by others, assigned or sublet without the prior written consent of Landlord.


 


In the event a default occurs, this Lease shall, at the option of Landlord, cease and terminate. Landlord may, upon a default, exercise any one or more of the remedies or rights available to it under law or in equity, and shall have the right to immediately accelerate and declare the entire remaining unpaid Rent and Additional Rent, together with all taxes owing thereon, for the balance of the Lease term to be immediately due and payable forthwith.

No re-entry or retaking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate the Lease, unless a written notice of such election is given to Tenant, nor shall pursuit of any remedy herein provided constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any Rent, Additional Rent or other monies due to Landlord hereunder or any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of the violations of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an event of default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of that or any other violation or default or of a waiver of any remedy. Landlord’s remedies hereunder shall be cumulative. Landlord shall be entitled to recover and pursue all actions Landlord deems necessary to recover for loss or damage that Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default. Landlord’s damages shall not be limited to its monetary loss under this Lease, but shall include all damages and expenses incurred by it from Tenant’s malfeasance and misfeasance as well as arising or resulting from the early and/or abrupt termination of the lease term, including but not limited to, the cost of marketing the Premises for lease, the rental deficiency from any reletting, the expense of repossession and/or reletting and the costs for any cleaning, painting, repairs or remodeling deemed necessary by Landlord following repossession to bring or restore the Premises to the condition Tenant is obligated hereunder to maintain.


 


As a material inducement to Landlord’s willingness to enter into this Lease, the parties hereto, including any guarantors, jointly and severally, waive their right to a trial by jury in and of any action, proceeding, or claim resulting from, arising out of, or in any way connected or related with this Lease, the guaranty(ies), the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, and/or any claim of injury or damage.


 


9. CURE BY LANDLORD: If Tenant shall default in performing any obligation or condition of this Lease, Landlord may perform, but shall not be obligated to do so, the same for the account of the Tenant, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any expense incurred therefore.


 


10. REPAIRS, ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS:      Tenant has inspected the Premises prior to entering this Lease and hereby accepts the Premises in its “As Is” condition. Landlord shall keep the foundation, outer walls, roof and buried conduits of the Premises in good repair except the Landlord shall not be called on to make any such repairs occasioned by the negligence of the Tenant, its agents, invitees or employees. Tenant shall at Tenant’s sole cost and expense take good care of and maintain in a good condition the Premises and the fixtures, equipment and furnishings therein, and make all repairs necessary to keep them clean, in good working order and condition. It is Tenant's sole responsibility to maintain, repair and replace, whether interior or exterior, all glass and doors in or on the Premises. The heating and air conditioning system shall be under the control of Tenant and Tenant agrees that all operation and upkeep will be at Tenant's expense. Landlord shall be under no obligation, however, to bring any action or proceeding against its insurer or warrantor should the insurer or warrantor deny that such repair or replacement falls within the insurance or warranty coverage, in which event Tenant shall pay the costs of the repair or replacement. Should the repair or replacement be made by Landlord’s warrantor or insurer, Tenant shall pay upon demand to Landlord any deductible or other cost Landlord incurs for such repair or replacement. During the term of this Lease and any extension thereof, Tenant shall enter into and maintain a service agreement with a licensed air-conditioning contractor, providing routine maintenance to the air conditioning equipment. A copy of this maintenance agreement shall be provided to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the commencement of the term of this Lease. Provided Tenant maintains the service agreement with a licensed air conditioning contractor, Landlord shall be responsible for the major repair or replacement of the HVAC system provided such replacement was not caused by Tenant’s negligence. Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make repairs necessitated by the fault or negligence of Tenant, or that of Tenant's agents, employees, contractors, consultants or invitees, and Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for all expenses and costs for such repairs upon demand of Landlord. Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises without the prior written consent of the Landlord.


 


11. MECHANIC LIENS:     Tenant agrees that Tenant shall pay all costs for work done by or on behalf of Tenant or caused to be done by Tenant on the Premises. Tenant shall keep the Premises free and clear of all construction liens and other liens on account of work done for or on behalf of Tenant or persons claiming under Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord free and harmless against liability, loss, damage, costs or expenses, including attorney's fees and costs of discovery and suit, on account of claims of liens for work performed for, or materials or supplies furnished to, Tenant or persons claiming under Tenant on or about the Premises. Should any lien be filed or recorded against the Premises as a result of labor supplies or material ordered by Tenant, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and whether or not disputed by Tenant, cause the removal or release of such lien within thirty (30) calendar days of when filed or recorded by payment or by its transfer to a bond.


 


THE INTEREST OF THE LANDLORD SHALL NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE SUBJECT TO LIENS FOR IMPROVEMENTS MADE BY THE TENANT. LANDLORD MAY FILE OR RECORD IN THE PUBLIC RECORDS FOR THE COUNTY WITHIN WHICH THE PREMISES ARE LOCATED A MEMORANDUM OF THIS LEASE SETTING FORTH ITS PROHIBITION AGAINST SUCH LIENS.


 


12. SIGNS AND PERMITS: Any signs will be at Tenant's sole expense and will precisely conform to specifications and locations prescribed and approved by Landlord according to the Sign Standard Agreement attached hereto. No other signs or advertising shall be placed on the Premises or in windows by Tenant. All required licenses and permits pertaining to Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises shall be obtained at Tenant's sole expense.


 


13. RELOCATION OF TENANT: Landlord reserves the right, upon giving not less than 60 days' prior notice to Tenant, to move Tenant to other space in the Park, further defined as Rubin Center Ulmerton, which is substantially comparable in area and rental.  Landlord shall bear the reasonable expense of such move directly to third party vendors (movers, construction, etc.) as well as the expense of any renovations or alterations necessary to make the new space substantially similar to the Premises, and the rent payable hereunder shall be adjusted such that it is the same on a square foot basis as is paid for the Premises.
