or rebuild the premises, or the building of which
they are a part, then, and in any such event, the Lessor may also terminate this Lease.
In any of the foregoing instances, the Lessor shall notify the Lessee as to its election
within sixty (60) days after the casualty in question. If the Lessor elects to terminate
this Lease, then the same shall terminate three (3) days after such notice is given, and
the Lessee shall immediately vacate the leased premises and surrender the same to the
Lessor, paying the rent to the time of such vacation and surrender, subject to an equitable
abatement from the time of said damage. If the Lessor does not elect to terminate this
Lease, the Lessor shall repair and/or rebuild the leased premises as promptly as
possible, subject to any delay from causes beyond its reasonable control, and the term
shall continue in full force and effect, subject to equitable abatement in the fixed
minimum monthly rental from the time of said damage or destruction until said
premises are repaired or restored.
11. Default.
(a) If the Lessee shall, at any time, be in default of the payment of either rent or any
payments required of Lessee hereunder or any part thereof, for more than ten (10) days
after the same shall be due hereunder, regardless of whether demand has been made
therefore, or if Lessee shall be in default of any of the other covenants and
conditions of this Lease to be kept, observed, and performed by Lessee for more than
thirty (30) days after the giving of written notice by the Lessor to the Lessee of such
default, or if Lessee shall vacate or abandon the premises, or fail to take possession
of the premises and actively operate its business therein, or if Lessee shall be
adjudged a bankrupt, or if a receiver or trustee shall be appointed and shall not be
discharged within thirty (30) days from the date of such appointment, then and in any
such events the Lessor may re-enter the leased premises by summary
proceedings or otherwise, and thereupon may expel all persons and remove all
property therefrom, without becoming liable to prosecution therefore, and may, among
other remedies, elect:
(i) To relet said premises as the agent of the Lessee, and reserve the rent
therefrom, applying the same first to the payment of the reasonable
expense of such re-entry, and then to the payment of the rent accruing
hereunder; but whether or not the leased premises are relet, the Lessee shall
remain liable for the equivalent of all rent and other charges provided for
under this Lease, plus the cost of reletting, if any, which said amount shall
be due and payable to the Lessor as damages, or rent, as the case may
be, on the successive monthly rent days hereinabove provided; or
(ii) To terminate this Lease and immediately resume possession of the
leased premises, wholly discharged from any obligations under the term of
this Lease, and may re-enter and repossess said premises, free from any
and all claims on the part of the Lessee. Termination of the Lease does
not discharge or in any way affect Lessee's obligation to pay Lessor all the
rents or other charges or payments accruing under the Lease up to the
date of termination.
(b) Lessor shall not be in default unless it fails to perform the obligation
required of Lessor by this Lease Agreement within thirty (30) days after written notice
by Lessee to Lessor specifying which obligation(s) Lessor has failed to perform.
Provided, however, that if the nature of the specified obligation(s) is such that more
than thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Lessor shall not be in default if
it commences performance within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently -
prosecutes the same to completion. If Lessor has not cured or commenced to cure
the default set forth in said notice within said 30-day period, Lessee may at his
option either
(i) Cure such default and deduct the reasonable costs and expenses
incurred from the next and succeeding rent payment(s) or
(ii) Cancel this Lease and, in such event, this Lease shall thereupon cease,
terminate, and come to an end with the same force and effect as though
the original demised term had expired at that time.
12. Subletting and Assigning. The Lessee shall not sublet any portion of the
leased premises nor assign this Lease in whole or in part without the written
consent of the Lessor as to both the terms of such assignment or sublease and the
identity of such assignee or sublessee, and in the event of a subletting so approved by
Lessor, Lessee shall nevertheless remain obligated to Lessor under the terms of this
Lease Agreement.
13. Signs. The Lessee shall not install nor maintain any sign anywhere on the
property constituting the leased premises whether neon, translucent, plastic, or
otherwise, unless plans and specifications shall first be submitted to Lessor in
writing, and the Lessor shall have the right to direct and determine the size, content,
design, construction, and location of such sign on the premises.
14. Quiet Enjoyment. The Lessor covenants and agrees with the Lessee that upon the
Lessee paying the said rent and performing all the covenants and conditions aforesaid
on the Lessee's part to be observed and performed, the Lessee shall and may peaceably
and quietly have, hold, and enjoy the premises hereby leased, for the term aforesaid;
subject, however, to the terms of this Lease, any mortgage, or other instruments now or
hereafter created by the Lessor.
15. Notices. All notices to be given under this Lease shall be in writing and shall either
be served personally or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested. All notices mailed
as herein provided shall be deemed received two (2) days after mailing (postal holidays
and Sundays will not be included in the two (2) day calculation). Notices to Lessor shall
be sent to the address set forth in the preamble hereof or such other address as the
Lessor may specify in written notice to Lessee. Notices to Lessee shall be sent to:
Amanda Wilkerson, at the mailing address of the Leased Premises, or such other
addresses as the Lessee may specify in written notice to Lessor.
16. Interest. Any amount due from Lessee to Lessor under this Lease which is not
paid when due shall bear interest at the lesser of the highest legal rate allowed in the State
of Florida from the date due until paid; provided, however, the payment of such
interest shall not excuse or cure the default upon which such interest is accrued.
17. Expense of Enforcement. lf either Lessor or Lessee should prevail in any
litigation by or against the other party related to this Lease, or if either party should
become a party to any litigation instituted by or against the other with respect to any third
party, then as between Lessor and Lessee, the losing party shall indemnify and hold the
prevailing party harmless from all costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the
prevailing party in connection with such litigation.
18. Inspection. Lessee will permit Lessor, its agents, employees, and contractors to
enter all parts of the Premises to inspect the same and to enforce or carry out any
provisions of this Lease. If the Lessor's enforcement of any provisions of this lease will
directly interfere with the Lessee's primary purpose of rehabilitating and treating injured
wildlife, then the Lessee will be permitted a reasonable time (being no shorter than
24 hours) in which to make arrangements for the safe transfer of any wildlife currently
being rehabilitated or treated by the Lessee.
19. Non-Waiver. Lessor's or Lessee's failure to insist upon strict performance of any
covenant of this Lease or to exercise any option or right herein contained shall not be a
waiver or relinquishment for the future of such covenant, right, or option, but the same
shall remain in full force and effect.
20. Captions. The captions and headings herein are for convenience and reference
only and should not be used in interpreting any provision of this Lease.
21. Applicable Law. This Lease shall be governed by and construed under the laws
of the State of Florida. If any provision of this Lease, or portion thereof, or the
application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby, and each
provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by
law. Time is of the essence in this Lease.
22. Successors. This Lease and the covenants and conditions herein contained
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Lessor, its successors, and
assigns; and shall be binding upon Lessee, its heirs, executors, administrators,
successors, and assigns; and shall inure to the benefit of Lessee and only such
assigns of Lessee to whom the assignment by Lessee has been consented to by
Lessor.
23. Force Majeure. The time within which any of the parties hereto shall be
required to perform any act or acts under this Lease, including the performance of
Lessor's and Lessee's work, shall be extended to the extent that the performance of such
act or acts shall be delayed by acts of God, fire, windstorm, flood, explosion, collapse of
structures, riot, war, labor disputes, delays or restrictions by governmental bodies,
inability to obtain or use necessary materials, or any cause beyond the reasonable
control of such party, other than lack of monies or inability to procure monies to fulfill its
commitment or obligation under this Lease; provided, however, that the party entitled
to such extension hereunder shall give prompt notice to the other party of the
occurrence causing such delay. The provisions of this Item 23 shall not operate to
excuse Lessee from prompt payment of rent.
24. Amendments in Writing. This Lease and the Exhibits attached hereto and
forming a part hereof set forth all the covenants, promises, agreements, conditions, and
understandings between Lessor and Lessee concerning the Premises, and there are no
covenants, promises, agreements, conditions, or understandings, oral or written,
between them other than are herein set forth. Except as herein otherwise provided, no
subsequent alteration, amendment, change, or addition to this Lease shall be binding
upon Lessor and Lessee unless reduced to writing and signed by both parties.
25. Authority. Lessee, if a corporation, warrants and represents to Lessor that
Lessee's execution of this Lease has been duly authorized by the Lessee's Board of
Directors.
26. Copies. This Lease shall be executed in multiple copies, any one of which
may be considered and used as an original.
