MARATHON AVIATION ASSOCIATES, LLC, a Florida limited liability company,
hereinafter ASSIGNOR and CENTENNIAL BANK, an Arkansas corporation,
hereinafter ASSIGNEE.
WHEREAS, pursuant to a Lease from Monroe County, Florida, ASSIGNOR
is the Lessee of a portion of the Marathon Airport located in Marathon, Monroe
County, Florida; and
WHEREAS, the said Lease has been assumed and modified by various
instruments since the original lease was issued on April 10, 1998; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to a Lease and Sublease dated April 21, 2010,
ASSIGNOR leased and subleased to Rich Aviation, Inc., a Florida corporation, a
portion of the property consisting of approximately 11,800 square feet (i.e., a

and
WHEREAS, as security for a loan being extended to ASSIGNOR by
ASSIGNEE, this Collateral Assignment of Lease and Sublease is being executed
and delivered.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00)
and other good and valuable consideration, it is hereby covenanted and agreed:
1. The ASSIGNOR hereby assigns, transfers and sets over unto the
ASSIGNEE, its successors and assigns, all interest of the ASSIGNOR under the
Lease and Sublease of the Premises and under any renewal, extension or
modification of the Lease; provided, however, that so long as the ASSIGNOR
shall not be in default of any of its obligations to the ASSIGNEE under the Loan,
the ASSIGNOR shall continue to enjoy all the rights and privileges of ASSIGNOR
under the Lease and Sublease.
2. In the event of any default by the ASSIGNOR in the payment or
performance of any of its obligations to the ASSIGNEE under the Loan, beyond
the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period, and in addition to any other
rights the ASSIGNEE may have at law or in equity, the ASSIGNEE shall have the
immediate right to enter upon the Premises and take possession thereof. The
ASSIGNEE shall further have the option, whether or not the ASSIGNEE has
exercised its right to take possession of the Premises, to make this assignment
absolute, and thereby to become ASSIGNOR under the Lease and Sublease.
Upon the exercise by the ASSIGNEE of the option to make this assignment
absolute, the ASSIGNEE may thereafter, at its option, sell, assign or otherwise
dispose of the ASSIGNOR's interest under the Lease and Sublease, as collateral,

the option to make this assignment absolute shall relieve the ASSIGNOR of any
of its obligations of performance or payment under the terms of the Lease and
Sublease.
3. In addition to the foregoing, the ASSIGNEE may, whether or not it
has exercised its right to take possession of the Premises, or its right to make
this assignment absolute, in its sole and absolute discretion, and without notice
to the ASSIGNOR, make payment of any defaulted obligation to the Lessor. Any
amount so paid by the ASSIGNEE shall constitute a demand obligation from the
ASSIGNOR to the ASSIGNEE. Nothing herein contained shall obligate the
ASSIGNEE to make such payment, nor shall the making of one or more such
payments constitute an agreement on the ASSIGNEE's part to take any further or
similar action.
4. The ASSIGNOR agrees that it will not alter, assign or transfer any
interest in or modify the Lease and Sublease or terminate the terms thereof or
surrender its right of possession to the Premises without the prior written
consent of the ASSIGNEE. The ASSIGNOR will fulfill or perform each and every
condition and covenant of the Lease and Sublease by the ASSIGNOR to be
fulfilled or performed, give prompt notice to the ASSIGNEE of any notice of
default by the ASSIGNOR under the Lease and Sublease received by the
ASSIGNOR, together with a complete copy of any such notice, and, at the sole
cost and expense of the ASSIGNOR, cure such default as required by the Lease
and Sublease. Any subsequent leases or agreements for use and occupancy of
the Premises or any part thereof shall be and are hereby made subject to all the
terms of this Collateral Assignment of Lease and Sublease and the ASSIGNOR
shall notify ASSIGNEE of any such instruments and provide copies to the
ASSIGNEE.

14. Taking and Damages/Casualty
A. In the event that a part of the Hangar is taken by reason of the exercise of the right
of eminent domain by any public or quasi- public authority, or be conveyed in settlement of
threatened eminent domain proceedings (both of which are referred to as a "Taking "), there shall
be an equitable abatement of Base Rent and all other sums due hereunder. Such equitable
abatement shall result in the decrease of Base Rent and other sums payable by the percentage
decrease in the square footage of the Hangar resulting from the Taking. If the Taking involves
the entire Hangar, or such a substantial and material portion of the Hangar as will reasonably
preclude Tenant from operating Tenant's business at the Hangar, then this Sublease shall
automatically terminate as of the date the condemning authority acquires possession of the
Hangar. Tenant may terminate this Sublease if any Taking materially affects Tenant's parking or
its Access Rights, unless Landlord provides uninterrupted alternate parking and Access Rights
reasonably acceptable to Tenant. Landlord reserves unto itself all rights to damages accruing on
account of any Taking of any part of the Hangar, or by reason of any act of any public or quasi -
public authority for which damages are payable; provided, however, that Tenant may recover
from the condemning authority moving expenses, business damages, loss of trade fixtures and
the value of the unexpired Term (excluding any renewal periods which have not yet begun).
B. If approximately fifty percent (50 %) or less of the Hangar is damaged or
destroyed by fire, wind, flood or other cause, then Landlord shall with all due diligence repair
and restore the Hangar. Until the repairs and restoration are complete, Base Rent and all other
sums due hereunder shall abate in proportion to the portion of the Hangar that remains usable by
8
Tenant for its intended purposes (if there is total or substantial destruction of the Hangar, Base
Rent and all other sums due hereunder shall totally abate). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if e
th
Hangar is totally, substantially or more than 50% destroyed, then either Tenant or Landlord may
elect to totally rebuild the Hangar or either party may terminate this Sublease provided said
terminating party gives the other party thirty (30) days written notice of such termination;
provided, however, that if Tenant elects to rebuild the Hangar, this Sublease shall remain in
effect, and all property and casualty insurance proceeds shall be made available to Tenant. In the
event Landlord rebuilds the Hangar under this Section 14.B., then provided Landlord has not
made any progress or a good faith effort to repair the damage, Tenant may also terminate this
Sublease if Landlord does not complete restoration within nine (9) months following the date
that the damage occurred to the Hangar. If Tenant terminates this Sublease, the insurance
proceeds may be used by Landlord to rebuild the Hangar or to pay off Landlord's mortgage or
Landlord's obligations to Grantair or Monroe County under the Underlying Lease or Underlying
Sublease (as applicable). If the damage occurs during the last two (2) years of the Initial Period,
Tenant may terminate this Lease on written notice to Landlord.
15. Default /Remedies
A. The following events shall be deemed to be events of default by Tenant under this
Sublease: (1) if Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Base Rent within five (5) days
following the due date therefor (provided, however, that Landlord agrees to give Tenant written
notice of default with respect to the first [ 1 s `] default in any consecutive twelve [ 12] month
period, and Tenant shall not be in default if Tenant pays the installment within five (5) days of
Tenant's receipt of Landlord's written notice; no notice shall be required for any subsequent
default within said twelve [12] month period); (2) if Tenant shall fail to pay any other sum other
than Base Rent within five (5) days following receipt by Tenant of written notice that any such
payment is past due; (3) if Tenant shall fail to comply within a reasonable time (but not longer
than thirty (30) days from receiving written notice from Landlord) of such failure with any other
term, provision, condition or covenant of this Sublease; provided, however, that Tenant shall not
be in default if the cure cannot be completed within thirty (30) days so long as Tenant
commences the cure within such 30 -day period and thereafter diligently completes the cure;
(4) if Tenant shall desert, abandon or vacate the Hangar for a consecutive period of sixty (60)
days; (5) if any petition shall be filed by or against Tenant under any section or chapter of the
present or any future Federal Bankruptcy Code or under any similar law or statute of the United
States or any state thereof (and if against Tenant such petition is not discharged in sixty (60)
days), or Tenant shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent in proceedings file under any section or
chapter of the present or any future Federal Bankruptcy Code or under any similar law or statute
of the United States or any state thereof, (6) if Tenant shall become insolvent or make a transfer
in fraud of creditors; (7) if Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (8) if
a receiver or trustee shall be appointed for Tenant or any of the assets of Tenant.
B. Upon occurrence of any event of default, Landlord shall have the option to do any
one or more of the following:
W Terminate this Sublease, in which event Tenant shall immediately
surrender the Hangar to Landlord, but if Tenant shall fail so to do, Landlord may enter upon and
W
take possession of the Hangar and expel or remove Tenant and its effects without being liable to
prosecution or any claim for damages therefor.
(ii) Enter upon and take possession of the Hangar as the agent of Tenant
without being liable to prosecution or any claim for damages therefor, and Landlord may relet
the Hangar as the agent of Tenant and receive the rent thereof, in which event Tenant shall pay to
Landlord on demand the reasonable cost of renovating, repairing and altering the Hangar for use
by a new tenant as an aircraft hangar, and recover any deficiency that may arise by reason of
such reletting; provided, however, that Landlord shall make a good faith effort to relet the
Hangar in order to mitigate damages.
(iii) Landlord may declare all of the rent due hereunder for the duration of the
Term immediately due and payable. Upon such declaration, Landlord shall be entitled to proceed
to collect all unpaid Rent by distress or other procedure, except that this remedy of acceleration
shall not apply if Tenant is delayed in making payment by virtue of a Force Majeure. A "Force
Majeure" involves delays caused by acts of God (such as floods and hurricanes), fire or other
casualty, strikes, labor disputes, riots, terrorism or government action.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Landlord receives any rent, additional
rent or other sums from any third party applicable to the Initial Period and/or the Hangar (or any
portion thereof), Landlord may promptly credit all such rent, additional rent and other sums to
the accelerated Base Rent paid by Tenant, and Landlord shall make immediate payment to
Tenant on account thereof. This obligation of Landlord shall survive the expiration and/or
termination of this Sublease.
(iv) Landlord may perform Tenant's obligations under this Sublease, and may
enter the Hangar without being liable to prosecution or any claim for damages therefor in order
to accomplish this purpose. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord immediately upon demand for
any reasonable expenses which Landlord may incur thus effecting compliance with this Sublease
on behalf of Tenant, and Tenant further agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages
resulting to Tenant from such action.
Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any of the other
remedies herein provided or any other remedies provided by law.
C. In the event of a default hereunder by Landlord, Landlord shall be liable to Tenant
for all actual out of pocket damages incurred by Tenant (excluding consequential damages).
16. Accord and Satisfaction. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser
amount than the Base Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the
earliest stipulated Base Rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter
accompanying any check or payment as rent deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord
may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's rights to recover the balance
of such Base Rent or pursue any other remedy in this Sublease provided.
10
17. Quiet En'ovment Landlord covenants that so long as Tenant pays the Base Rent and any
other sums due under this Sublease, and performs its agreements hereunder, Tenant shall have
the right to quietly enjoy and use the Hangar for the Term, subject to the provisions hereof.
IS. Holdi Xg Over Any holding over after the expiration of the Term shall be construed to be
a tenancy -at -will at 150% of the Base Rent herein specified (prorated on a daily basis) and shall
otherwise be on the terms herein specified so far as applicable. Acceptance of any Base Rent
after a holdover begins shall not be deemed to renew this Sublease nor shall this provision be
deemed a waiver of Landlord's right to terminate Tenant's tenancy or to pursue other remedied
for Tenant's failure to vacate.
19. Parking
A. Tenant shall have the right to use the parking areas on the Hangar property.
B. Tenant will comply with reasonable rules and regulations established by Landlord
regarding the parking of Tenant and it employees.

term of this Sublease, to promptly observe, comply with and execute at its own cost and expense
all Laws relating to the use of the Hangar by Tenant. Tenant, however, may contest, review or
Weal any governmental orders and directions provided Tenant shall, prior to contesting the
same, notify Landlord in writing of its intention to do so, and provided that all such proceedings
shall be promptly commenced by Tenant and diligently prosecuted by Tenant at its expense to a
speedy and final conclusion.

comply with the Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities by Fixed Base

Airport property, as the same may be amended from time to time (which rules, regulations and

without limiting the generality thereof, federal air and safety laws and regulations and federal,
state , and county environmental, hazardous waste and materials and natural resources laws,
regulations and permits and FAA Airport Improvement Program Grant Compliance requirements.
This Sublease is subordinate to the County's obligations under federal aviation law and
contractual commitments to the federal government. Upon a formal written declaration by the
Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA') that a term or provision of this Sublease is
inconsistent with federal aviation law or a contractual commitment to the FAA, the
impermissible term shall be severed, without affecting the remainder of this Sublease. The
parties may agree to amend this Sublease as provided herein as necessary to comply with the
