material harm or damage thereto and that such equipment or personal
property is not owned by the
GROUND LESSEE.
Section 7. GROUND LESSOR'S INTEREST
NOT SUBJECT TO CERTAIN LIENS.
(a) Discharging Liens. In the
event a lien, claim of lien or order for the payment of money shall
be imposed against GROUND
LESSEE’S groundleasehold interest in and to the Premises or the
Improvements resulting from or
arising out of any act or omission of GROUND LESSEE or any person
claiming under, by or through
GROUND LESSEE, GROUND LESSEE shall, within thirty (30) days after
receipt of notice of the
imposition of such lien, claim or order cause the same to be discharged, satisfied,
canceled or released, and the
Premises and the Improvements to be released therefrom, by the payment
of the obligation secured thereby
or by the furnishing of a bond or by any other method which may be prescribed
or permitted by law. GROUND LESSEE
shall thereupon furnish GROUND LESSOR with evidence
of having done so in form
satisfactory and requisite for recording in the Office of the Clerk of the
Circuit Court, Leon County,
Florida.
(b) Bonding and Litigation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, should GROUND LESSEE desire
to contest the validity of any
lien or claim of lien, nothing herein shall preclude GROUND LESSEE from
doing so, provided that GROUND
LESSEE shall have first either (i) posted an appropriate and sufficient
bond in favor of claimant and
thereby obtained the release of the Premises and the Improvements from such
lien. In such event the GROUND
LESSEE shall indemnify and hold the Board and the State of Florida
harmless from and against any and
all claims, actions, lawsuits, costs and expenses of any kind or nature
arising out of such lien or claim
of lien. If judgment is obtained by the claimant of any lien, GROUND
LESSEE agrees to pay the same
immediately after such judgment shall have become final and the time for
appeal therefrom has expired.
GROUND LESSEE shall, at its own expense, defend the interests of
GROUND LESSEE and GROUND LESSOR
in any and all such suits. GROUND LESSOR may, at its
own expense, engage its own
counsel and assert its own defenses, in which event GROUND LESSEE
agrees to cooperate with GROUND
LESSOR and make available to GROUND LESSOR all information
and data deemed by GROUND LESSOR
to be necessary or desirable for such defense.
Section 8. INSURANCE.

LESSEE covenants and agrees with GROUND LESSOR
8

and the Board , which certificate shall provide that written notice
of cancellation or of any
material change in such policy shall be delivered to GROUND LESSOR at least

event that GROUND LESSEE shall at any time fail, refuse or
neglect to obtain and pay for any
insurance required under this Section, GROUND LESSOR may, at its
sole option, obtain and/or pay
for such insurance, and GROUND LESSEE shall reimburse GROUND
LESSOR upon demand for the cost
thereof, plus ten percent (10%) thereof (not to exceed $500) for
administrative overhead.

against GROUND LESSOR, the Board
and the State of Florida.
(e) State of Florida. To the
extent that any agency or instrumentality of the State of Florida

"Trustee"). Except as
expressly permitted herein, any purported assignment, partial assignment or
sublease
without GROUND LESSOR'S prior
written consent in violation of this Section 10.2 shall be null and void.
10.3 Notice. If GROUND LESSEE
proposes to assign, sublet or transfer any portion of its
interest in this Sublease, GROUND
LESSEE shall provide written notice in advance to the GROUND
LESSOR containing (i) the names
and addresses of the proposed assignee(s), GROUND LESSEE(s) or
transferee(s); (ii) the terms and
conditions of the proposed assignment, sublease or transfer; (iii) the nature
and character of the business of
the proposed assignee(s), GROUND LESSEE(s) or transferee(s); and (iv)
general financial information
relating to the proposed assignee(s), GROUND LESSEE(s) or transferee(s).
Section 11. TAXES AND FEES.
(a) GROUND LESSOR Exempt. GROUND
LESSOR represents and warrants that so long
as and to the extent the GROUND
LESSOR is operating a developmental research school under a charter
from Florida State University and
the GROUND LESSOR is not in default under the Lease Purchase
Agreement this Ground Lease
Agreement and the leasehold interest created herein are exempt from ad
valorem and intangible taxation.
Should the Premises or any interest therein or improvement thereon ever
become subject to any such taxes,
GROUND LESSOR agrees to pay any and all such lawful taxes,
assessments or charges which at
any time may be levied by any federal, state, county, city, or any tax or
assessment levying body upon the
Premises, or any interest in this Ground Lease Agreement, or any
possessory right which GROUND
LESSOR may have in or to the Premises or the Improvements by
reason of its use or occupancy
thereof or otherwise.
(b) Right to Contest.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, GROUND LESSOR shall,
after notifying GROUND LESSEE of
its intention to do so, have the right in its own name or behalf, or in
the name and behalf of GROUND
LESSEE hereto, to contest in good faith by all appropriate proceedings
the amount, applicability or
validity of any such tax or assessment, and in connection with such contest
GROUND LESSOR may refrain from
paying such tax or assessment. GROUND LESSEE shall, upon
request by GROUND LESSOR, assist
and cooperate with the other party hereto in any such proceedings
at no cost to GROUND LESSEE. If
GROUND LESSOR desires to contest such tax or assessment it
11
must first post bond satisfactory
to GROUND LESSEE in an amount sufficient to prevent forfeiture or loss
of any portion of the Premises.
(c) Reimbursement. In the event
that GROUND LESSOR shall fail to pay any of the items
required by it of this Section
11, the GROUND LESSEE may, at its sole option, pay the same and any
amounts so advanced therefor by
it shall become an additional obligation of the GROUND LESSOR,
which amounts the GROUND LESSOR
agrees to pay to the GROUND LESSEE promptly upon demand
plus ten percent (10%) thereof
(not to exceed $500.00) for administrative overhead.
Section 12. DEFAULT BY GROUND
LESSEE.
(a) Events of Default. Each of
the following events shall be deemed a default by GROUND
LESSEE hereunder and a breach of
this Ground Lease Agreement:
(1) If GROUND LESSEE shall fail
to pay, when due, any rent or portion thereof
within thirty (30) days after
receipt of written notice to GROUND LESSEE by GROUND
LESSOR or if GROUND LESSEE shall
fail to pay any taxes or assessments or portion thereof,
or any other sum which GROUND
LESSEE is obligated to pay under the terms of this Ground
Lease Agreement, and such taxes,
assessments or other sums remain unpaid for a period of thirty
(30) days after receipt of
written notice to GROUND LESSEE from GROUND LESSOR;
(2) If GROUND LESSEE shall
attempt to assign this Ground Lease Agreement, or
any portion thereof, or to
sublease any portion of the Premises in violation of Section 10.2 hereof;
(3) From and after the occurrence
of an event of default or an event of
non-appropriation under the Lease
Purchase Agreement, GROUND LESSEE shall use the
Premises for any purposes not
permitted by this Ground Lease Agreement, and such use shall
continue for a period of thirty
(30) days after receipt of written notice to GROUND LESSEE by
GROUND LESSOR to desist from such
use; and
(4) From and after the occurrence
of an event of default or an event of
non-appropriation under the Lease
Purchase Agreement, GROUND LESSEE shall otherwise fail
to comply with any material
covenant or condition of this Ground Lease Agreement, and such
failure to comply shall continue
for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof
by GROUND LESSEE from GROUND
LESSOR; provided, however, in the event such failure
cannot, by its nature, be cured
within such 30 day period, GROUND LESSEE shall not be deemed
in default hereunder so long as
GROUND LESSEE shall have commenced to cure such failure
within said 30 day period and
thereafter shall prosecute such cure to completion with reasonable
diligence.
12
(b) Additional Time. In the event
that any of the items of default set forth in subparagraphs
(a)(3) and (a)(4) above is of
such a nature that it cannot be remedied within the time limits therein set
forth,
then GROUND LESSEE shall have
such additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure such default,
provided GROUND LESSEE diligently
commences the curing of such default within said time limits and
proceeds to completely cure the
same in a timely and diligent manner.
Section 13. REMEDIES OF GROUND
LESSOR. Upon the occurrence of any event of default
as set forth in Section 12 hereof
which has not been cured and is not in the process of being cured under
Section 12(b) hereof, GROUND
LESSOR may then terminate this Ground Lease Agreement subject to
the provisions set forth herein
by written notice to GROUND LESSEE and each Permitted Transferee and
enter upon and take possession of
the Premises and any improvements constructed thereon. In the event
GROUND LESSOR elects to avail
itself of the rights and remedies contained in this Section 13, then such
election by GROUND LESSOR shall
entitle GROUND LESSOR to assume all of GROUND LESSEE's
rights, title and interest in and
to the Improvements, as well as all structures, fixtures and improvements on
the Premises.
Section 14. NO WAIVERS. No waiver
by either party hereto at any time of any of the terms,
conditions, covenants or
agreements of this Ground Lease Agreement, or noncompliance therewith, shall
be deemed or taken as a waiver at
any time thereafter of the same, nor of any other term, condition,
covenant or agreement herein
contained, nor of the strict and prompt performance thereof by the other
party hereto. No delay, failure
or omission of GROUND LESSOR to reenter the Premises, nor by either
party hereto to exercise any
right, power, privilege or option arising from any default shall impair any
right,
power, privilege or option, or be
construed to be a waiver of any such default, relinquishment thereof or
acquiescence therein, and no
notice by either party hereto shall be required to restore or revive time as
being of the essence hereof after
waiver by either party of default in one or more instances. No option,
right, power, remedy or privilege
of either party shall be construed as being exhausted or discharged by the
exercise thereof in one or more
instances. It is agreed that each and all of the rights, powers, options or
remedies given to each party by
this Ground Lease Agreement are cumulative, and no one of them shall be
exclusive of the other or
exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
Section 15. QUIET ENJOYMENT.
GROUND LESSOR agrees that GROUND LESSEE,
upon the payment of the rent and
all other payments and charges to be paid by GROUND LESSEE under
the terms of this Ground Lease
Agreement, and observing and keeping the agreements and covenants of
this Ground Lease Agreement on
its part to be observed and kept, shall lawfully and quietly hold, occupy
and enjoy the Premises during the
term of this Ground Lease Agreement subject only to the possessory
rights of the GROUND LESSOR under
the Lease Purchase Agreement, without hindrance or molestation
from GROUND LESSOR or anyone
claiming by, through or under GROUND LESSOR.
Section 16. TERMS BINDING UPON
SUCCESSORS. All the terms, conditions and
13
covenants of this Ground Lease
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors
and assigns of the parties
hereto.
Section 17. CONDEMNATION.
(a) Substantial. In the event
that any person or corporation, public or private, shall by virtue
of eminent domain or condemnation
proceedings, or by purchase in lieu thereof, at any time during the term
of this Ground Lease Agreement
acquire title to the Premises (which for the purpose of this Section only
shall include not only the land
hereby demised but also the Improvements and other improvements erected
thereon by GROUND LESSEE) or
acquire title to such substantial portion thereof that GROUND
LESSEE cannot make use of the
residue for the purposes intended by this Ground Lease Agreement, such
acquisition of title shall
terminate this Ground Lease Agreement, effective as of the date on which the
condemning party takes possession
thereof. GROUND LESSOR and GROUND LESSEE shall be
entitled to separate awards, with
GROUND LESSOR entitled to the value of its leasehold interest under
the Main Lease, GROUND LESSEE
shall be entitled to the fair market value of its leasehold interest
including Improvements, and the
Board shall be entitled to the value of the remainder interest in its fee
simple interest in the lands
condemned. To the extent that such award is insufficient to cover both
GROUND LESSOR and GROUND LESSEE,
GROUND LESSEE shall have priority over GROUND
LESSOR to the extent necessary to
enable the GROUND LESSEE to pay in full, the Bonds, provided,
however, that such priority shall
not affect the rights of the Board or the State of Florida.
(b) Partial. Prior to completion
of construction, if the condemning party acquires title to a
portion of the Premises only, and
GROUND LESSEE can make beneficial use of the residue thereof for
the purposes intended by this
Ground Lease Agreement, then this Ground Lease Agreement shall continue
in full force and effect and the
total proceeds of condemnation shall be applied first to compensate the
Board for the value of the fee
simple title, if any, taken by the condemning authority, with the remainder of
such proceeds being applied,
secondly, toward payment of reasonable attorneys' fees and other necessary
expenses incurred by the Board,
the GROUND LESSOR and the GROUND LESSEE in connection
therewith, and thirdly toward the
repair or restoration of the improvements by GROUND LESSEE in
accordance with plans and
specifications approved by GROUND LESSOR which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(c) Taking of Improvements. Any
taking of any portion of the Improvements shall be deemed
substantial hereunder.
(d) Appeals. It is understood
that the foregoing provisions of this Section 17 shall not in any
way restrict the right of GROUND
LESSOR or GROUND LESSEE to appeal the award made by any
court or other public agency in
any condemnation proceeding.
14
Section 18. WASTE. GROUND LESSEE
shall not do, cause, allow or suffer to exist any waste
or disfigurement to the Premises
or the Improvements thereon or any part thereof or to any Improvements
hereafter erected on the
Premises.
Section 19. NON-MERGER OF
LEASEHOLD. There shall be no merger of this Ground Lease
Agreement or of the leasehold
estate hereby created with the fee estate in the property described in Exhibit
A attached hereto or any part
thereof by reason of the fact that the same person may acquire or hold,
directly or indirectly, this
Ground Lease Agreement or leasehold estate hereby created or any interest in
this Ground Lease Agreement or in
such leasehold estate and the fee estate in the property described in
Exhibit A attached hereto or any
interest in such fee estate.

simultaneously with the execution
of this Ground Lease Agreement, the GROUND LESSOR and
GROUND LESSEE shall each execute,
acknowledge and deliver a Memorandum of Lease with respect
to this Ground Lease Agreement.
Said Memorandum of Lease shall not in any circumstances be deemed
to change or otherwise to affect
any of the obligations or provisions of this Ground Lease Agreement.
Section 21. EXCESS RECEIPTS UPON
SUCCESSION TO POSSESSORY INTEREST.
Upon the GROUND LESSEE succeeding
to the possessory interest to all or any portion of the Premises
and the Improvements, to the
extent the GROUND LESSEE realizes, whether by assigning such portion
or all of the Premises or
Improvements to a Permitted Transferee, or upon the Assignment of this Ground
Lease Agreement, an amount in
excess of the amount required to be paid in satisfaction of the obligations
of the GROUND LESSOR under the
Lease Purchase Agreement, all such sums or amounts shall be
deemed "Additional
Rent" and shall be immediately due and payable to the GROUND LESSOR.
Section 22. ESTOPPEL
CERTIFICATES. GROUND LESSOR, at any time and from time to
time, upon not less than thirty
(30) days' prior written notice from GROUND LESSEE, will execute,
acknowledge and deliver to GROUND
LESSEE, or to whomsoever they or any of them may direct, a
certificate of GROUND LESSOR
certifying that this Ground Lease Agreement is unmodified (or, if there
have been any modifications,
identifying the same); that this Ground Lease Agreement is in full force and
effect, if it is; that there is
no default hereunder (or, if so, specifying the default); and such other
statements
regarding this Ground Lease
Agreement as GROUND LESSEE may reasonably request. It is intended
