CONSTRUCTION AND ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES
2.1 Landlord agrees that it will promptly commence and
diligently pursue the construction of those building and
improvements shown on Exhibit "A" which will contain the Premises
as designated on Exhibit "B" and with respect to the Premises will
complete Landlord’s Work as defined in Exhibit "C" on or
before the Scheduled Completion Date, with such minor variations as
Landlord may deem reasonably necessary due to unavailability of
materials. Tenant shall have no right to enter or occupy the
Premises until the Premises are Ready for Occupancy, except for
purposes of installing vaults which of its nature requires
installation prior to opening for business with prior written
approval and consent from Landlord and provided such work must
accommodate Landlord’s construction schedule and process.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease,
in the event that Landlord does not deliver the Premises to the
Tenant in the condition required under this within ninety
(90) days following the Scheduled Completion Date, Tenant may,
in its sole discretion, elect to terminate this Lease upon five
(5) days written notice to Landlord provided such notice is
given within thirty (30) days following such period.
2.2 Tenant agrees to submit to Landlord plans and specifications
for any and all improvements which are Landlord’s
responsibility, within sixty (60) days after the date of this
lease, in such detail as Landlord may reasonably request covering
Tenant’s Work as specified in Exhibit "C", and any other work
which Tenant proposes to do in the Premises. Such plans and
specifications shall substantially comply with all requirements set
forth in Exhibit "C". Tenant shall not commence any work in the
Premises until Landlord has approved such plans and specifications,
in writing, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. Landlord shall approve or disapprove (with
reasonable specificity) Tenant’s plans and specifications in
writing within thirty (30) days after Landlord has received
the same from Tenant. In the event that Landlord fails to timely
approve or disapprove Tenant’s plans and specification as
required herein, then Landlord shall be deemed to have granted its
approval.
2.3 Upon written notification from Landlord that the Premises
are Ready for Occupancy, Tenant agrees to take possession and
proceed with commercially reasonable due diligence to perform the
work described in such plans and specifications which have been
approved by Landlord and to install its fixtures, furniture, and
equipment in the Premises. Upon occupying the Premises, Tenant
shall be deemed to have acknowledged that the Landlord has complied
with all of its covenants and obligations with respect to the
construction of the Premises, except for punch list items and
defects in Landlord’s Work which are latent at the time the
Premises are occupied.
2.4(a) Unless delayed by events of force majeure or other events
beyond Tenant’s reasonable control, Tenant agrees to employ
reasonable efforts to open the Premises to the public for business
within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Premises are
Ready for Occupancy, except that Tenant shall not be obligated to
open the Premises to the public for business until Landlord has
substantially completed construction of the Shopping Center;
including all Common Areas.
(b) In the event that Tenant fails to open the Premises for
business fully fixtured, stocked, and staffed within one hundred
and eighty (180) days from the Rental Commencement Date, then,

control, the Tenant shall be in default hereunder.

RENT
3.1 Rental and other charges due and payable hereunder shall
accrue hereunder from the Rental Commencement Date until the
termination of this lease and shall be payable to Clearwater Retail
Partners, LLC at the following mailing address unless otherwise
directed by Landlord in writing: c/o 630 Chestnut Street,
Clearwater, Florida 33756.
3.2 The first monthly installment shall be due and payable on or
before the Rental Commencement Date (except that if the Rental
Commencement Date falls on a day other than the first day of a
calendar month, the first payment shall be an amount equal to that
percentage of monthly installment which the number of days from the
Rental Commencement Date to the end of such calendar month bears to
the total number of days in such month) and a like installment,
unless adjusted upward as provided below, shall be due and payable
without notice on or before the first day of each succeeding
calendar month during the Term. Unless otherwise specifically
provided for in this lease, the covenant of Tenant to pay all rents
hereunder is and shall be deemed a separate and independent
covenant and Tenant shall have no right of deduction or set-off
whatsoever. It is agreed that after the First Lease Year and
during the Lease Term and Option Periods, Minimum Guaranteed Rental
shall be computed as follows: Multiply the Minimum Guaranteed
Rental provided for in Article 1.1 (g) by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the Consumer Price Index established for the
last preceding December, and the denominator of which is the
Consumer Price Index established for the month preceding the Rental
Commencement Date of this lease. If the product thus ascertained is
greater than the Minimum Guaranteed Rental, said product shall be
the new Minimum Guaranteed Rental payable to Landlord by Tenant
during each month of the ensuing Lease Year; and if the product
thus ascertained is equal to or less than the Minimum Guaranteed
Rental, the total monthly rental payable to Landlord by Tenant
during each month of the ensuing Lease Year shall be the Minimum
Guaranteed Rental payable under Article 1.1 (g). The total Minimum
Guaranteed Rental for each Lease Year after the First Lease
Year during the Lease Term shall be recomputed in accordance with
the above stated formula as soon as practicable after the end of
each Lease Year of this lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
adjustment annually will always be based upon a minimum increase of
1% and maximum increase of 2% annually. The foregoing annual
increases shall be cumulative.
For the purposes of this Article 3.2, "Consumer Price Index"
shall mean that consumer price index established by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor which is
entitled "Consumer Price Indexes for All Urban Consumers, United
States City Average, All items 1982-84 = 100 Unadjusted," or in the
event said index is no longer provided by said Bureau of Labor
Statistics, the index furnished by said Bureau which most
accurately and completely replaces said above-referenced index.

may from time to time prescribe, provided that Landlord shall
provide Tenant with at least sixty (60) days prior written
notice of any such rule or regulation. Landlord may require that
automobiles owned by Tenant, its licensees, concessionaires and
employees be parked in specific portions of the Common Areas. Upon
reasonable written request by Landlord, Tenant shall have thirty
(30) days to furnish to Landlord a complete list of the
license numbers of all automobiles operated by Tenant, its
licensees, concessionaires and employees. If Tenant, its licensees,
concessionaires and employees fail to park their cars in the

discretion to (i) charge Tenant ten Dollars ($10.00) per day
per car parked in any Common Areas other than those designated,
and/or (ii) have such car(s) physically removed from the
Shopping Center at Tenant’s expense without any liability
whatsoever to Landlord. Tenant shall not interfere with the rights
of other persons to use the Common Areas. Landlord may temporarily

Common Areas for such minimal periods of time as may be reasonably
necessary for (i) temporary use as a work area in connection
with the construction of buildings or other improvements within the
Shopping Center or contiguous property, (ii) repairs or
alterations in or to the Common Areas or to any sewers, utility
facilities or distribution lines located within the Common Areas,
(iii) preventing the public from obtaining prescriptive rights
in or to the Common Areas, (iv) security reasons, or
(v) doing and performing such other acts (whether similar or
dissimilar to the foregoing) in, to and with respect to, the Common

reasonably determine to be appropriate for the Shopping Center,
provided however, that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts not to
unduly interfere with or disrupt Tenant’s business.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this lease,
Landlord shall not be permitted to take any action with respect to
the Common Areas and/or parking areas or make any changes, repairs,
temporary closings or modifications to the Common Areas and/or
parking areas, if the same will (1) cause a change in the
size, location, orientation or visibility of the Premises or the
Shopping Center, (2) reduce or impede access to the Premises
or the Shopping Center, or (3) reduce the proximity of the
Premises to the parking areas or the impact the convenience of the

Commencement Date will be 5.41 parking spaces for each 1,000
rentable square foot of space in the Shopping Center.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this lease,
if any event or action or omission by Landlord renders the parking
facilities for the Shopping Center for whatever reason
inaccessible, unusable, unsafe, or which causes the number of
parking spaces for the Shopping Center to be reduced below
applicable local code requirements (which reasons may include but
are not limited to repairs, maintenance, casualty, condemnation, or
displacement or dislocation caused by future construction),
Landlord shall immediately provide substitute parking facilities
for Tenant’s use and its invitees which facilities shall
(i) cause no net reduction in Tenant’s parking space
allocation, (ii) be similarly convenient in terms of location,
quality and safety, and (iii) except in the case of an

5.2 Tenant agrees to pay as additional rent, as
herein provided, its share of expense commercially reasonable and
necessarily incurred by Landlord for the operation and maintenance
of the Common Areas ("CAM Expenses"), including without limiting

painting, cleaning, central trash disposal (if Landlord elects to
provide), traffic control, policing, security, landscaping and
repairing the Common Areas, hazard and public liability insurance
and property damage insurance, all water consumed in Shopping
Center which is not separately metered to Tenants (single or
multiple) thereof together with an allowance of 10% of CAM
Expenses, other than taxes and insurance, for Landlord’s
direct overhead but excluding depreciation of Landlord’s
original investment in Shopping Center. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this lease, additional rent shall not
include the following: (1) capital expenditures required by
Landlord’s failure to comply with any law, statute,
regulation, or other governmental or quasi-governmental
requirement; (2) costs incurred for capital improvements to
reduce CAM Expenses above the amount actually saved as the result
of such capital improvements; (3) rent for a management office
and rent and expenses for a marketing office; (4) any amounts
paid to any person, firm or corporation related to or otherwise
affiliated with Landlord or any general partner, officer, director
or shareholder of Landlord or any of the foregoing, to the extent
the same exceeds arm’s length competitive prices paid in
Clearwater, Florida for similar services or goods; (5) costs
incurred to remove any hazardous materials or other toxic material
or substances from either the Shopping Center; (6) costs
relating to maintaining Landlord’s existence, either as a
corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, such as

and accounting fees (other than with respect to Shopping Center
operations); (7) Landlord’s general overhead expenses
above the ten percent (10%) cap described above;
(8) costs and expenses resulting from the negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees, contractors or
agents; and (9) attorney’s fees and other costs and
expenses incurred in connection with negotiations or disputes with
present or prospective tenants, other occupants of the Shopping

set forth in Section 8.1 below. CAM Expenses shall be reduced
by all cash discounts, trade discounts or quantity discounts
received by Landlord or Landlord’s managing agent in the
purchase of any goods, utilities or services in connection with the
prudent operation of the Shopping Center. In the calculation of any
CAM Expenses hereunder, it is understood that no expense shall be
charged more than once. Landlord shall use its best efforts in good
faith to effect an equitable proration of bills for services
rendered to the Shopping Center and to any other property owned by
Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord. In the event there exists a
conflict as to an expense which is specified to be included in CAM
Expenses and is also specified to be excluded from CAM Expenses
within the above list, the exclusions listed above shall prevail
and the expenses shall be deemed excluded. Landlord shall not
recover more than 100% of the CAM Expenses actually incurred by
Landlord. Capital expenditures required due to changes in
applicable governmental or other regulations that were not required
when the building was built shall be considered CAM Expenses. The
share to be paid by Tenant shall be that percentage of CAM Expenses
which the Gross Leased Area of the Premises bears to the Gross
Leased Area of the Shopping Center. Landlord and Tenant agree that
the Gross Leased Area of the Premises shall be determined based on
the "as built" site plan approved by the appropriate governmental
authority. Upon such approval Landlord shall submit to Tenant a
copy of the approved site plan along with a calculation of the
Gross Leased Area for the Premises. Landlord shall, within ninety
(90) days after the commencement of each Lease Year, notify
Tenant in writing of the monthly charges due from Tenant based upon
the Landlord’s good faith estimate of annual CAM Expenses.
Within ninety (90) days after the close of each calendar year,
Landlord will furnish to Tenant a detailed statement of the
expenses relating to the Common Areas for such year, such statement
to be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
practices and to include Tenant’s proportionate share of the
expenses relating to the Common Areas computed as herein provided.
Any necessary adjustments (in the form of an additional payment or
a refund from Landlord to Tenant) shall be made sixty
(60) days after delivery of such statement.
Landlord agrees to retain the books and records substantiating
the CAM Expenses incurred in each calendar year for a period of at
least three (3) years from the date Landlord submits an annual
statement to Tenant. Tenant or its designee shall have the right,
during business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, from time
to time to inspect Landlord’s books and records relating to
CAM Expenses, and/or to have such books and records audited at
Tenant’s expense by a certified public accountant designated
by Tenant. Any audit that discloses a discrepancy of more than five
percent (5%) in the annual CAM Expenses shall be at
Landlord’s expense and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for
such cost (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) within
thirty (30) days of the result of the audit. Any discrepancy
shall be promptly corrected by a payment of any shortfall to
Landlord by Tenant within thirty (30) days after the
applicable audit, or by a credit against the next payment(s) of
rent hereunder or (at Tenant’s election) a refund from
Landlord of the overpaid amount within thirty (30) days, as
may be applicable. In the event Tenant does not contest a statement
of CAM Expenses within three (3) years after it is rendered,
such statement shall become binding and conclusive on both Landlord
and Tenant, except that any such statement which may contain
material misrepresentations shall not be binding and conclusive on
Tenant. In the event Landlord shall fail to invoice Tenant for any
CAM Expenses pursuant to this article within one (1) year,
then Landlord shall be deemed to have waived its right to collect
such CAM Expenses. In addition, in the event that Landlord shall
fail to invoice Tenant for any CAM Expenses pursuant to this
article within six (6) months following the expiration or
termination of the term of this lease, then Landlord shall be
deemed to have waived its right to collect such CAM Expenses.
5.3 In the event Tenant is not billed directly by the
appropriate authority for water consumed on the Premises and/or for
sewer rents or charges, the bill rendered by Landlord for the above
shall be based upon Tenant’s prorated share of such service
as reasonably determined by Landlord and shall be payable by Tenant
within thirty (30) days of receipt of Landlord’s bill,
and such costs or expenses incurred or payments which are made by
the Landlord for water or sewer service used on the Premises shall
be deemed to be CAM Expenses payable by Tenant and collectible by
Landlord as such.

supplied to Tenant or anyone holding the Premises or any part
thereof through or under the Tenant, and nothing contained in this
lease shall be deemed or construed in any way as constituting the
consent or request of Landlord, expressed or implied, to any
contractor, subcontractor, laborer or materialman for the
performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials for any
improvements, alternations or repairs of or to the Premises or any
part thereof, nor as giving Tenant any right, power or authority to
contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the
furnishing of any materials that would give rise to the filing of a
materialmen’s, mechanics’ or other lien against the
Premises. If any such lien should, at any time, be filed, Tenant
shall cause the same to be discharged of record within thirty
(30) days after the date of filing the same. If Tenant shall
fail to discharge such lien within such period, then, in addition
to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may, but shall
not be obligated to, discharge the same either by paying the amount
claimed to be due or by procuring the discharge of such lien by a
deposit in court or by posting a bond. Any amount paid by Landlord

other lien not caused by Landlord, and all reasonable, actual and
documented expenses of Landlord in defending any such action or in
