Section 11.04 – Tenant’s Damages

 

Although any and all damages in the event of any taking or condemnation are to belong to Landlord, whether such damages are awarded as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or the fee of the Premises, Tenant shall have a right to claim and recover from the condemning authority, but not from Landlord, such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant in Tenant’s own right on account of any damage to Tenant’s business by reason of the condemnation and for or on account of any cost or loss to which Tenant might incur for removal of Tenant’s merchandise, furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements and/or equipment.

Section 14.02 – Remedies of Landlord

 

If an Event of Default shall occur, Landlord may without prejudice to its other rights hereunder, avail itself of any rights available to Landlord under the law or this Lease, including, without limitation, any one or more of the following:

 

(a)            Provide Tenant notice of Landlord’s intent to cure any such Event of Default, and perform same in the event Tenant fails to cure same within five (5) business days of delivery of said notice.

In any such case, Landlord may make repairs in or to the Premises, and to redecorate the same to the extent deemed by Landlord necessary or desirable, and Tenant shall, upon demand, pay the cost thereof together with Landlord’s expenses of the reletting. If the consideration collected by Landlord upon any such reletting for Tenant’s account is not sufficient to pay the full amount of unpaid rent reserved in this Lease, together with the cost of repairs, alterations, additions, redecorating, and Landlord’s expenses, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of each deficiency each month upon demand.

 

After an Event of Default, the acceptance of the rent (or any portion thereof) or failure to re-enter by Landlord shall not be held to be a waiver of its rights to terminate this Lease, and Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Premises as if no rent had been accepted after such default.

 

Section 14.03 – Repossession by Landlord Upon Default

 

The failure of Landlord to relet the Premises or any part thereof after recovery of possession shall not release or affect Tenant’s liability for damages. Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to relet the Premises, or in the event that the Premises are relet, for failure to collect the rent under such reletting.

Section 14.04 – Rights and Remedies of Landlord Cumulative

 

All of the damages which are specified in this Lease are in addition to all other damages and costs to which Landlord may be entitled to under the laws of the State of Florida.

In the event Tenant in the performance or nonperformance of any term or condition of this Lease should cause an emergency situation to occur or arise within the Premises, Landlord will have the ability to exercise all rights set forth herein under this Section 14.05 immediately without the necessity of providing Tenant any advanced notice.

 

 

 

 19 

 

 

Section 14.06 – No Waiver of Remedies of Landlord

 

Failure by Landlord to insist upon the strict performance of any provision hereof or to exercise any right, power, or remedy contained herein shall not constitute a waiver or relinquishment thereof for the future.

Section 14.07 – Default by Landlord

 

Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord hereunder unless and until Landlord has failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof from Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligations is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter continuously and diligently prosecutes the same to completion.

Tenant may not assign this Lease in whole or in part, nor sublet all or any portion of the Premises, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Per each instance of permitted assignment or subletting of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fee of One Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($1,500.00) in connection with the processing of documents necessary to review a proposed assignment or sublease. The consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. It is explicitly understood and agreed to by Tenant that Landlord may refuse to grant consent to any assignment or subletting by Tenant if Landlord is not reasonably satisfied with the financial responsibility, identity or business character of the proposed assignee or subtenant, or the nature of the occupancy or legality of the proposed use, or if there is a need for alteration of the Premises by any proposed assignee or subtenant. If this Lease is assigned or if the Premises or any part thereof is sublet or occupied by any party other than Tenant, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, subtenant, or occupant and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved. No such assignment, subletting, occupancy, or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant or acceptance of the assignee, subtenant, or occupant as Tenant, nor shall Tenant be released from the performance of its obligations found under this Lease. This prohibition against assignment or subletting shall be construed to include prohibition against any assignment or subleasing by operation of law, legal process, receivership, bankruptcy or otherwise, whether voluntary or involuntary, and a prohibition against any encumbrance of all and any part of Tenant’s leasehold interest. Notwithstanding any assignment or sublease, Tenant shall remain fully liable on this Lease and shall not be released from performing any of the terms, covenants, and conditions hereof, and said assignee or subtenant if consented to by Landlord, shall stringently comply with all Lease terms and conditions. In the event of a transfer and assignment by Landlord of its interests in this Lease, the Premises, the Building and/or the Land, and provided Tenant is given notice of such assignment, Landlord shall be released from all liabilities or obligation under this Lease arising after the date of such transfer and assignment.
