LEASE

 

THIS LEASE made and entered into this 13 day of January, 2021, by and between Octavia S. Vollmer Family Trust, dated November 25, 1991, P.O. Box 6271, Clearwater, FL 33758-6271, hereinafter referred to as "Lessor", and Amerx Health Care Corporation, hereinafter referred to as "Lessee".

 

WITNESSETH:

 

For and in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants hereinafter contained, the parties have agreed to and do hereby enter into a lease upon the following terms and conditions.

 

1. Premises

 

1.1 Lessor is the owner of the property located at 164 Douglas Road East, Oldsmar Florida 34677 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Property”). The subject matter of this lease (Lease) is the 12,000 square feet of the building located thereon, said space being outlined on that floor plan attached as Exhibit “A” (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Premises”).

 

2. Term of Lease 

 

2.1 The term hereof shall be for an initial period of Five (5) years, commencing on May 1, 2021

 

3. Use of the Premises 

 

3.1 The Premises are being leased to Lessee for the purpose of operating therein a medical supply business. Lessee has inspected the Premises and satisfied itself that the Premises are acceptable, subject to completion of Lessor’s work, if any, for this purpose and represents that its intended use will not violate any federal, state, or local land use regulations or restrictions. Lessee may, upon the express written consent of Lessor which may be withheld in Lessor’s absolute discretion, in addition thereto be granted the right to use the said Premises during the term hereof for other lawful purposes reasonably similar to the aforesaid operation.

 

3.2 During the term hereof Lessee shall, at its sole expense, observe and comply with all local, state and federal laws, ordinances, statutes and regulations, whether currently in force or subsequently enacted, regulating Lessee’s specific use of the Premises.

 

3.3 Lessee agrees that the parking provided by Lessor as shown on Exhibit “B” attached hereto is sufficient for Lessee’s needs. Lessee agrees that it will not permit its employees, customers, vendors, or other persons providing products or services to it to park in any areas other than those designated on Exhibit “B”.

 

3.4 Lessee shall, at its sole expense during the term hereof, at all times perform such maintenance and repair as is necessary to keep the Premises in good working order, condition and repair, except for maintenance and repair to the air conditioning units and structural portions of the Premises, which (together with exterior portions of the building, its roof and the parking lot surfaces) shall be replaced, repaved, repaired and maintained, as appropriate, by Lessor, at Lessor’s sole expense. If Lessor is required to make repairs to structural or exterior portions of the building, its roof, or the parking lot surfaces, or any other portion of the Premises solely by reason of Lessee’s negligent acts or omissions to act, the cost of such repairs shall be deemed additional rent due and payable by Lessee immediately upon demand.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall procure an annual service contract for the maintenance of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (“HVAC”) system servicing the Premises (including, but not limited to, cleaning and replacement of filters, repairs of leaks, and adjustment and replacement of belts and hoses). In the event of repairs or replacement exceeding $350.00 per occurrence, Lessor will be responsible for all amounts above $350.00, unless the repairs or replacement are solely attributable, directly or indirectly, to Lessee’s failure to have normal maintenance provided, in which event Lessee shall be solely responsible for the cost of repairs.

3.5 Construction improvements, alterations, changes, or additions to the Premises shall not be commenced by Lessee without the prior written consent of Lessor, which may not be unreasonably withheld. All improvements, alterations, changes, or additions made or placed in or upon the Premises by Lessor or Lessee which, by operation of law would become a part of the real estate, shall immediately upon being made or placed thereon become the property of Lessor and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as part thereof at the termination, by lapse of time or otherwise, of the term herein granted. Nothing contained herein shall preclude Lessor from requiring Lessee to remove any such improvements, alterations, changes, or additions that Lessee has made at Lessee’s sole cost and expense at the termination, by lapse of time or otherwise, of the term herein granted. Upon notice of Lessor, Lessee shall make such removal and restore the Premises to the same condition as received, reasonable wear and tear excepted. All such improvements, alterations, changes, and additions during the term hereof shall be maintained by Lessee as specified in 3.4 above.

 

3.6 Lessee shall have no authority to incur, create, or permit, and shall not incur, create, permit, or suffer, any lien for labor or materials or services to attach to the interest or estate of either Lessor or Lessee in the Premises or in the building or other real estate of which the Premises form a part; and neither Lessee, nor any one claiming by, through or under Lessee, shall have any right to file or place any labor or material lien of any kind or character upon the Premises or the real estate of which the Premises form a part. All persons contracting with Lessee directly or indirectly or with any person who in turn is contracting with Lessee for the construction of any improvement, alteration, change or addition to the Premises are hereby charged with notice that as and from the date of this instrument, they must look to Lessee only to secure the payment of any bills or charges or claims for work performed or materials furnished or services rendered during the term hereof. Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless and the Premises from any cost, charge, expense or lien arising from or on account of work performed, materials furnished, or services rendered.

(d) If Lessee, by reason of its use of the demised Premises or for any reason whatsoever, causes an increase in Lessor’s insurance rates, then Lessee shall compensate Lessor by paying additional rent equal to the increase in Lessor’s insurance cost.

In the event of any increase of real property taxes or assessments after the commencement of this Lease payable in respect to the land or improvements of which the Premises are a part over the amount of taxes or assessments for the Base Year, such increase in taxes or assessments shall be paid by Lessee proportionately as the square footage of the demised Premises bears to the total rentable square footage of all buildings subject to the tax notice of which the Premises form a part. Lessee’s proportionate share of the square footage is 100%. Lessor shall notify Lessee of any such increase in taxes and shall indicate in such notice the amount of Lessee’s pro rata share of same and such amount, together with applicable state sales taxes, shall be paid by Lessee within thirty (30) days after Lessee’s receipt of notice.

19. General Provisions

 

19.1 Any holding over after the expiration of the term, with the express or implied consent of Lessor shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month only, at 1.5 times the rental per month as paid during the last month of the term and upon all other terms and conditions as are herein set forth.

 

19.2 Time is of the essence of this Lease. No course of dealings between Lessor and Lessee, nor any failure, neglect or delay by either party in exercising any rights or rights hereunder, shall operate as a waiver, forfeiture or abandonment or any other right or rights provided herein except only to the extent expressly waived in writing.

 

19.3 The title or captions of the paragraphs of this Lease are for reference purposes only and have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part thereof. The use herein of the singular number includes the plural, and vice versa, and the use herein of the neuter gender includes the masculine and the feminine and vice versa, whenever and wherever the context so requires.

 

19.4 Lessor covenants, warrants and represents to Lessee that Lessor has lawful title to the land of which the Premises is a part, the right to make this lease for the term hereof and that Lessor will put Lessee into complete and exclusive possession of the Premises (except as herein otherwise provided). Lessor further covenants that if Lessee shall pay the rental and perform all the covenants and provisions of this Lease to be performed by Lessee, Lessee shall during the term freely, peaceably, and quietly occupy and enjoy the full possession of the Premises (except as herein otherwise provided) and the tenements, hereditaments, and appurtenances thereto belonging and the rights and privileges herein granted without molestation or hindrance, subject nevertheless to all of the terms and conditions hereof.

 

19.5 This Lease sets forth the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to all matters referred to herein and the provisions hereof may not be changed or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by all parties hereto.

 

19.6 Lessor shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorney’s fees relating to any litigation for the recovery of unpaid rent or possession of the premises. For any other claims arising between the parties, each prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorney’s fees. Because this Lease is entered into and concerns premises located in Pinellas County, Florida, the parties agree that Florida law shall govern all controversies and venue for any action shall be in Pinellas County, Florida. The parties waive their right to bring or remove an action to federal court by reason of diversity jurisdiction. The parties specifically waive their right to trial by jury.

 

19.7 This lease may not be recorded by Lessee without the express written consent of Lessor.

 

19.8 Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities may present health risks to persons exposed to it over time.

Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your county public health unit.

LEASE

 

THIS LEASE made and entered into this 13 day of January, 2021, by and between John Vollmer, P.O. Box 6271, Clearwater, FL 33758-6271, hereinafter referred to as "Lessor", and Amerx Health Care Corporation, hereinafter referred to as "Lessee".

 

WITNESSETH:

 

For and in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants hereinafter contained, the parties have agreed to and do hereby enter into a lease upon the following terms and conditions.

 

1. Premises

 

1.1 Lessor is the owner of the property located at 172/174 Douglas Road East, Oldsmar Florida 34677 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Property”). The subject matter of this lease (Lease) is the West 6,000 square feet of the building located thereon, also known as 172 Douglas Road E., Oldsmar Florida, said space being outlined on that floor plan attached as Exhibit “A” (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Premises”).

 

2. Term of Lease 

 

2.1 The term hereof shall be for an initial period of Five (5) years, commencing on May 1, 2021

 

3. Use of the Premises 

 

3.1 The Premises are being leased to Lessee for the purpose of operating therein a medical supply business. Lessee has inspected the Premises and satisfied itself that the Premises are acceptable, subject to completion of Lessor’s work, if any, for this purpose and represents that its intended use will not violate any federal, state, or local land use regulations or restrictions. Lessee may, upon the express written consent of Lessor which may be withheld in Lessor’s absolute discretion, in addition thereto be granted the right to use the said Premises during the term hereof for other lawful purposes reasonably similar to the aforesaid operation.

 

3.2 During the term hereof Lessee shall, at its sole expense, observe and comply with all local, state and federal laws, ordinances, statutes and regulations, whether currently in force or subsequently enacted, regulating Lessee’s specific use of the Premises.

 

3.3 Lessee agrees that the parking provided by Lessor as shown on Exhibit “B” attached hereto is sufficient for Lessee’s needs. Lessee agrees that it will not permit its employees, customers, vendors, or other persons providing products or services to it to park in any areas other than those designated on Exhibit “B”.

 

3.4 Lessee shall, at its sole expense during the term hereof, at all times perform such maintenance and repair as is necessary to keep the Premises in good working order, condition and repair, except for maintenance and repair to the air conditioning units and structural portions of the Premises, which (together with exterior portions of the building, its roof and the parking lot surfaces) shall be replaced, repaved, repaired and maintained, as appropriate, by Lessor, at Lessor’s sole expense. If Lessor is required to make repairs to structural or exterior portions of the building, its roof, or the parking lot surfaces, or any other portion of the Premises solely by reason of Lessee’s negligent acts or omissions to act, the cost of such repairs shall be deemed additional rent due and payable by Lessee immediately upon demand.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall procure an annual service contract for the maintenance of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (“HVAC”) system servicing the Premises (including, but not limited to, cleaning and replacement of filters, repairs of leaks, and adjustment and replacement of belts and hoses). In the event of repairs or replacement exceeding $350.00 per occurrence, Lessor will be responsible for all amounts above $350.00, unless the repairs or replacement are solely attributable, directly or indirectly, to Lessee’s failure to have normal maintenance provided, in which event Lessee shall be solely responsible for the cost of repairs.

3.5 Construction improvements, alterations, changes, or additions to the Premises shall not be commenced by Lessee without the prior written consent of Lessor, which may not be unreasonably withheld.. All improvements, alterations, changes, or additions made or placed in or upon the Premises by Lessor or Lessee which, by operation of law would become a part of the real estate, shall immediately upon being made or placed thereon become the property of Lessor and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as part thereof at the termination, by lapse of time or otherwise, of the term herein granted. Nothing contained herein shall preclude Lessor from requiring Lessee to remove any such improvements, alterations, changes, or additions that Lessee has made at Lessee’s sole cost and expense at the termination, by lapse of time or otherwise, of the term herein granted. Upon notice of Lessor, Lessee shall make such removal and restore the Premises to the same condition as received, reasonable wear and tear excepted. All such improvements, alterations, changes, and additions during the term hereof shall be maintained by Lessee as specified in 3.4 above.

 

3.6 Lessee shall have no authority to incur, create, or permit, and shall not incur, create, permit, or suffer, any lien for labor or materials or services to attach to the interest or estate of either Lessor or Lessee in the Premises or in the building or other real estate of which the Premises form a part; and neither Lessee, nor any one claiming by, through or under Lessee, shall have any right to file or place any labor or material lien of any kind or character upon the Premises or the real estate of which the Premises form a part. All persons contracting with Lessee directly or indirectly or with any person who in turn is contracting with Lessee for the construction of any improvement, alteration, change or addition to the Premises are hereby charged with notice that as and from the date of this instrument, they must look to Lessee only to secure the payment of any bills or charges or claims for work performed or materials furnished or services rendered during the term hereof. Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless and the Premises from any cost, charge, expense or lien arising from or on account of work performed, materials furnished, or services rendered.

(d) If Lessee, by reason of its use of the demised Premises or for any reason whatsoever, causes an increase in Lessor’s insurance rates, then Lessee shall compensate Lessor by paying additional rent equal to the increase in Lessor’s insurance cost. The increase in rent will be effective with the next rent payment.

 

4.2 Lessee shall pay applicable Florida Sales Tax in addition to any rent.

 

4.3 Lessee shall pay Lessor the actual costs to maintain the lawn and landscaping, currently $150.00 per month, together with applicable sales tax.

4.5 In the event any payment due hereunder is not paid within five (5) calendar days after it becomes due, Lessee shall also be obligated to pay a late charge of ten percent (10%) of said payment;. All late charges accruing under this Lease shall be considered additional rent.

 

4.6 If Lessee fails to pay any charge or assessment required hereby to be paid by it, or to do any act required hereby to be done by it, Lessor may (but shall not be required to) pay said charge or assessment and do said act and the cost thereof to Lessor (including any attorneys’ fees, court and all other costs incurred by Lessor), together with interest on such costs at the maximum rate then permitted by law, from the date of incurrence thereof, shall, upon delivery of notice thereof to Lessee, be immediately due and owing with the next following installment of rent and shall be treated in all respects as rent.

 

4.7 Lessee shall not for any reason withhold or reduce Lessee’s required payments of rent and other charges provided for in this Lease, it being expressly understood and agreed by the parties that the payment of rent and additional rent is a covenant by Lessee that is independent of the other covenants of the parties hereunder.

 

5. Security Deposit

 

5.1 Upon execution of this Lease, Lessee shall pay the sum of $4,792.50 as a refundable security deposit for the lease of the Premises. Lessee agrees that this sum may, at the sole option of the Lessor may be used to pay any charges including unpaid rent and shall not bear interest for the account of Lessee. In the event that the property of which the Premises are part is sold, Lessor may transfer to the purchaser the deposit to be held under the terms of this Lease, and Lessor shall be released from all liability for the return of such deposit to Lessee.

 

6. Taxes

 

6.1 Lessor shall pay the annual real property taxes (ad valorem taxes) assessed by the State of Florida and/or any county or city government or any political subdivision thereof with respect to the demised Premises for the calendar year in which this Lease is entered into (hereinafter, the “Base Year”) and a similar amount for each succeeding year of the Lease. In the event of any increase of real property taxes or assessments after the commencement of this Lease payable in respect to the land or improvements of which the Premises are a part over the amount of taxes or assessments for the Base Year, such increase in taxes or assessments shall be paid by Lessee proportionately as the square footage of the demised Premises bears to the total rentable square footage of all buildings subject to the tax notice of which the Premises form a part. Lessee’s proportionate share of the square footage is 50%. Lessor shall notify Lessee of any such increase in taxes and shall indicate in such notice the amount of Lessee’s pro rata share of same and such amount, together with applicable state sales taxes, shall be paid by Lessee within thirty (30) days after Lessee’s receipt of notice.

13.2 Acceptance by Lessor of any rent after the same has become due and payable shall not constitute a waiver by Lessor of any rights which Lessor may have under the terms of this Lease in the event of a default with respect to any subsequent payment of rent. Lessor’s rights and remedies under this Lease shall be cumulative and shall not be exhausted by one exercise thereof and shall not exclude any other rights and remedies authorized, provided or permitted by law. No failure or omission on the part of Lessor promptly to exercise or insist upon any of its rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any such rights; and no waiver on the part of Lessor of any breach or default or lack of prompt and complete performance or compliance by Lessee hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or lack of prompt performance or compliance.

Either party shall have the option to terminate this Lease if twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Premises is taken so as to substantially impair the usefulness of the Premises for the purposes for which the same are hereby leased. The option to terminate shall expire thirty (30) days after the date when Lessee is required to yield possession.

Lessee shall have no claims or cause of action against Lessor by reason thereof. In no event shall Lessee have any claim against Lessor for interruption to Lessee’s business, however occurring.

19. General Provisions

 

19.1 Any holding over after the expiration of the term, with the express or implied consent of Lessor shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month only, at 1.5 times the rental per month as paid during the last month of the term and upon all other terms and conditions as are herein set forth.

 

19.2 Time is of the essence of this Lease. No course of dealings between Lessor and Lessee, nor any failure, neglect or delay by either party in exercising any rights or rights hereunder, shall operate as a waiver, forfeiture or abandonment or any other right or rights provided herein except only to the extent expressly waived in writing.

 

19.3 The title or captions of the paragraphs of this Lease are for reference purposes only and have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part thereof. The use herein of the singular number includes the plural, and vice versa, and the use herein of the neuter gender includes the masculine and the feminine and vice versa, whenever and wherever the context so requires.

 

19.4 Lessor covenants, warrants and represents to Lessee that Lessor has lawful title to the land of which the Premises is a part, the right to make this lease for the term hereof and that Lessor will put Lessee into complete and exclusive possession of the Premises (except as herein otherwise provided). Lessor further covenants that if Lessee shall pay the rental and perform all the covenants and provisions of this Lease to be performed by Lessee, Lessee shall during the term freely, peaceably, and quietly occupy and enjoy the full possession of the Premises (except as herein otherwise provided) and the tenements, hereditaments, and appurtenances thereto belonging and the rights and privileges herein granted without molestation or hindrance, subject nevertheless to all of the terms and conditions hereof.

 

19.5 This Lease sets forth the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to all matters referred to herein and the provisions hereof may not be changed or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by all parties hereto.

 

19.6 Lessor shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorney’s fees relating to any litigation for the recovery of unpaid rent or possession of the premises. For any other claims arising between the parties, each prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorney’s fees. Because this Lease is entered into and concerns premises located in Pinellas County, Florida, the parties agree that Florida law shall govern all controversies and venue for any action shall be in Pinellas County, Florida. The parties waive their right to bring or remove an action to federal court by reason of diversity jurisdiction. The parties specifically waive their right to trial by jury.

 

19.7 This lease may not be recorded by Lessee without the express written consent of Lessor.

 

19.8 Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities may present health risks to persons 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.

 

20. Indemnification For Environmental Damage And Hazardous Waste Disposal 

 

20.1 Lessee, in consideration of Lessor's agreement to execute this Lease, hereby agrees to indemnify, reimburse, defend and hold harmless the Lessor for, from and against all demands, claims, actions, or causes of action, assessments, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses, fees and disbursements asserted against, imposed on or incurred by Lessor, directly or indirectly, pursuant to or in connection with the application of any Environmental Law for acts or omissions caused by Lessee and occurring during Lessee's occupancy of the Premises pursuant to this Lease. For the purpose of this indemnification, "Environmental Law" shall mean any federal, state, local or foreign statutory or common laws relating to pollution or protection of the environment, including without limitation, any common law relating to nuisance or trespass, and any law or regulation relating to emissions discharges, releases or threatened release of pollutants, contaminants or chemicals, or industrial, toxic or hazardous substances or wastes into the environment (including without limitation ambient air, surface water, ground water, land surface or subsurface strata) or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of pollutants, contaminants or chemicals, or industrial, toxic or hazardous substances or wastes.

21. Broker

 

21.1 Lessee and Lessor represent and warrant one to the other that the only Real Estate Broker involved was Jenkins Property Advisors, Inc., in this transaction, and Lessee and Lessor agree to indemnify and hold each other harmless from any and all claims of any other brokers arising out of or in connection with the negotiations of or the entering into this Lease by Lessee and Lessor.

 

22. Subordination Agreement 

 

22.1 This Lease is subject and subordinate to any mortgages or deeds of trust that are now affecting or existing upon the Premises or the property of which the Premises are a part or that any owner of the Premises may in the future elect to place on the Premises, and to all advances already made or that may in the future be made on account of any such mortgage. Lessee shall, upon request, execute subordination agreements or other instruments as required by any mortgagee of Lessor. Failure or refusal of Lessee to execute said instruments within fifteen (15) days after notice by Lessor shall constitute a material breach of this Lease.
