AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a resolution reserving ten (10) affordable housing
allocations (moderate income category) for a proposed project for the property legally described as
Part of Tract B, Porpoise Point, Section 5 on Big Coppitt Key, Mile Marker 10.5 Bayside, at the
corner of Emerald Drive, Sapphire Drive and US 1, Big Coppitt Key (approximate mile marker
10.5), having real estate number 00156320.000000.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
Habitat for Humanity of Key West and Lower Florida Keys (Habitat) is requesting a reservation of
ten (10) moderate income affordable housing allocations pursuant to Monroe County Code Section
138-24(b)(2).
Habitat is proposing to develop the site in Big Coppitt (located at the corner of Emerald Drive,
Sapphire Drive and US 1 at approximate mile marker 10.5) with ten (10) affordable housing units.
Minor Conditional Use Permit Development Order No. 02 -17 approved ten (10) attached residential
dwelling units designated as employee housing on March 21, 2017.
Monroe County (County) and Habitat for Humanity of Key West and Lower Keys, Inc. (Habitat),
entered into a 99 -year lease (lease) dated May 20, 2009.
On February 17, 2010, the parties amended the lease to extend it one year and qualify the subject Big
Coppitt Key property as tax exempt. The lease, as amended, required Habitat to commence
construction of twelve (12) affordable housing units on the property by December 31, 2009, and
required Habitat to complete construction of the twelve (12) affordable housing units by December
31, 2011, neither deadline of which Habitat met due to a lack of funding. Under the amended lease,
the County may retroactively amend the deadlines by which Habitat must commence and complete
construction of the twelve (12) affordable housing units on the property.
The 2nd amendment retroactively extended the lease until March 19, 2017, on the conditions that
Habitat commence construction of the twelve (12) affordable housing units by March 1, 2016, and
that Habitat receive certificates of occupancy for the twelve (12) affordable housing units by March
19, 2017.
Planning Commission Resolution No. P56 -08 approved a Minor Conditional Use Permit to construct
twelve (12) deed - restricted affordable, employee housing units. The resolution was passed and
adopted December 16, 2008, signed March 25, 2009 and recorded May 29, 2009. The resolution
contained the condition that construction be completed no later than five (5) years after the
resolution recording date. That time frame passed and the conditional use permit expired.
On August 22, 2016, Habitat for Humanity of Key West and Lower Keys, Inc., applied for a new
Minor Conditional Use Permit to construct ten (10) deed - restricted affordable, employee housing
units. Habitat for Humanity of Key West and Lower Keys, Inc., originally proposed developing 12
affordable housing units but a sewer easement has constrained the use of a portion of the property.
The new application was found complete on January 27, 2017 and reviewed by the Development
Review Committee on February 21, 2017. A development order 02 -17 was issued approving the
proj ect.
The development order states that all required building permits and certificates of occupancy shall be
procured with three (3) year of the date on which the minor conditional use approval is recorded and
filed in the official records of Monroe County, or the minor conditional use approval shall become
null and void with no further action required by the County.
The 3rd amendment retroactively extends the lease until December 31, 2018, subject to the
conditions that Habitat commence construction of ten (10) affordable housing units by August 1,
2017 and receive certificates of occupancy for the construction of the ten (10) affordable housing
units by December 31, 2018. The BOCC approved the 3rd Amendment on March 15, 2017.

moderate or lesser income requirements set forth in applicable sections of the Monroe

DocM 1758774
Bko 2431 NO 743
the specified sales price or rental rates for moderate income housing as set forth in the Land
Development Regulations in effect at the time of execution of this Lease where the effect
upon an owner /Sublessee /mortgagee would be to divest such person or entity of value upon
which such person reasonably and fairly relied to their detriment. The substance of the

particularly with respect to administrative, monitoring and enforcement mechanisms, but
any such amendment shall not materially diminish the lawfully established and equitably
vested resale value or the reasonable alienability of "home- ownership" Affordable Housing
Units, or in the case of rental -only units or projects, shall not materially and adversely
diminish or interfere with the Lessee's substantive benefits conferred under this Lease or any
of its non - administrative terms. However, Lessor may restrict Affordable Housing Unit
resales and rentals to use as "Employee Housing" as defined in the Affordable Restrictions,
as amended from time to time. Moreover, Lessor may establish in its Affordable
Restrictions "means" or "assets" criteria that limit potential buyer or rental pools. Any such
amendment shall not increase Initial Lessee's responsibilities as set forth herein. It is the

which they are located is maintained and enforced such that any administrative rule, policy

transaction (including but not limited to purchase price, lease assignment fees, rents or any
other compensation given or received in or "outside" of a related transaction) shall never
exceed the affordability criteria reasonably established by Monroe County for the dwelling
units involved. In every case, the construction and interpretation of terms, conditions and

into with Monroe County contemporaneously and in conjunction with this Lease and which
is recorded.
"Rent" shall mean any sum of money due to the Lessor under this Lease for any

and distinguishing of rent, rental rates and other such other terms as may be provided for in
Subleases and /or the Affordable Restrictions.
"Sale" and "Sell" as used herein shall be broadly and liberally construed so as to
encompass, where contextually appropriate, any ground subleasing, sale, grant, assignment

herein). It is intended that the term Sublease encompasses such instruments that effectuate
qualified end -user, title, possession and /or use of Affordable Housing Units developed on the

in the Monroe County Code and who is gainfully employed at the time of their rental or
purchase. Additionally, except as may be otherwise permitted by this Lease, in order to
remain eligible to renew their sublease or rental agreement and to reside in their Affordable
Housing Unit into retirement or disability, in addition to complying with any otherwise
applicable provisions in the Affordable Restrictions, renters or tenants of all Affordable
Housing Units shall be encouraged to be and must remain gainfully employed.

items intended to be contested, conditioned to pay such tax or tax items when the validity

and expenses which might be reasonably incurred because of or in connection with such
payments, together with interest on all such amounts, at the highest rate allowed by law shall
be repaid by the Lessee to the Lessor, upon the demand of the Lessor, and the payment
thereof may be collected or enforced by the Lessor in the same manner as though such
amount were an installment of Rent specifically required by the terms of this Lease to be
paid by the Lessee to the Lessor, upon the day when the Lessor demands repayment thereof
or reimbursement therefor of and from the Lessee; but the election of the Lessor to pay such

with such payments, together with interest on all such amounts, at the highest rate allowed
by law shall be repaid by the Sublessee to the Lessor, upon the demand of the Lessor, and the

such amount were an installment of Rent specifically required by the terms of this Lease to
be paid by the Sublessee to the Lessor, upon the day when the Lessor demands repayment
thereof or reimbursement therefor of and from the Sublessee; but the election of the Lessor
to pay such taxes shall not waive the default thus committed by the Sublessee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublessee shall have the right to contest any taxes and
assessments levied against Sublessee; and provided Sublessee files the appropriate
documentation to contest said tax or assessment, Sublessee shall not be in default of this
Lease or obligated to pay any interest or other penalties to Lessor. Nothing herein shall be
construed to prevent or inhibit the assessment measures and collection remedies lawfully
available to any taxing authority.
Section 6.07 Appraiser to Respect Effect of Affordable Restrictions It is the intent of
the parties that any appraisal of any portion of the Demised Premises for taxation, public
assessment or utility service purposes fully reflect the effect of this Lease and the Affordable
Restrictions on the lawfully realizable value of relevant portion(s) appraised, or where

by payment or by the posting of bond or by the payment to a court of competent jurisdiction
of the amount necessary to relieve and release the relevant portion of the Demised Premises
from such claim, or in any other manner which, as a matter of law, will result, within such
period of thirty (3o) days, in releasing the Lessor and the title of the Lessor from such claim;
and the Lessee covenants and agrees, with respect to any lien or claim attributable to it,
within such period of thirty (3o) days, so as to cause the affected portion of the Demised
Premises and the Lessor's interest therein to be released from the legal effect of such claim.

and put in full force and effect a policy or policies of insurance as noted in Article X insuring
the Lessee against any and all claims and demands made by any person or persons
whomsoever for death, injuries or damages received in connection with the possession,
operation and maintenance of the Demised Premises. All such policies shall name the Lessee
and the Lessor (and any lender holding a mortgage on the Demised Premises), as their
respective interests may appear, as the persons insured by such policies. Any loss
adjustment shall require the written consent of both the Lessor and Lessee.
Section .clog Policy Limit Changes. The policy limits for the comprehensive liability

ARTICLE X
Insurance
Section io.oi Property Insurance From and after the Effective Date, the Lessee will
keep insured any and all buildings and improvements upon the Demised Premises against all
loss or damage by fire, flood and windstorm, together with "all risks" "extended coverage,"
which said insurance will be maintained in an amount sufficient to prevent any party in
interest from being or becoming a co- insurer on any part of the risk, which amount shall not
Page 14 of 45
Doca 1758774
Bkp 2431 Pga 753
shall not be less than the full Replacement Cost value of the relevant portions of the Demised
Premises, and all of such policies of insurance shall include the name of the Lessor as an
additional insured and shall fully protect both the Lessor and the Lessee as their respective
interests may appear. In the event of destruction of buildings or improvements by fire, flood,
windstorm or other casualty for which insurance shall be payable and as often as such
insurance money shall have been paid to the Lessor and the Lessee, said sums so paid shall
be deposited in a joint account of the Lessor and the Lessee in a bank designated by the
Initial Lessee, Lessee or Lessee's Mortgagee and located in the County in which the Demised
Premises is located, and shall be made available to the Lessee for the construction or repair
(including any modification to the improvements sought by the Lessee and approved in
writing by the Lessor with Lessor's approval not unreasonably withheld), as the case may be,
of any building or buildings damaged or destroyed by fire, flood, windstorm or other casualty
for which insurance money shall be payable and shall be paid out by the Lessor and the
Lessee from said joint account from time to time on the estimate of any reliable architect
licensed in the State of Florida officially overseeing of such reconstruction and repair,
certifying that the amount of such estimate is being applied to the payment of the
reconstruction or repair and at a reasonable cost therefor; provided, however, that the total
amount of money necessary for the reconstruction or repair of any building or buildings
destroyed or damaged has been provided by the Lessee for such purpose and its application
for such purpose assured.
In the event of the destruction or damage of the improvements located on the
Demised Premises, or any part thereof, and as often as any portion of said Demised Premises
shall be destroyed or damaged by fire, flood, windstorm or other casualty, the Lessee shall,
within fifteen (15) months (or twenty -four (24) months for a substantially total loss) from
the date of such damage or destruction, rebuild and repair the same in such manner that the
buildings or improvements so rebuilt and repaired, and the personal property so replaced or
repaired, shall be of the same or of a value higher than were the buildings or improvements
and the personal property prior to such damage or destruction, and Lessee shall diligently
prosecute the reconstruction or repairs without delay and have the same rebuilt and ready
for occupancy as soon as reasonably possible after the time when the loss or destruction
occurred. The 15 -month period (or twenty -four (24) month period for a substantially total
loss) for reconstruction shall be enlarged by delays caused without fault or neglect on the
part of the Lessee, by act of God, strikes, lockouts, or other conditions (other than matters of
refinancing the property) beyond the Lessee's control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and
only with respect to insurance proceeds, the provisions of any leasehold mortgage
substantially comporting with customary institutional lending industry standards and the
foregoing Lessor's interests shall control as to the use and disbursement of insurance funds
for reconstruction of the improvements in the event of any casualty or damage to such
improvements.
While the Project, or any replacement thereof, is in the course of construction, and
whenever appropriate while any alterations are in the course of being made, the aforesaid
fire and extended coverage insurance shall be carried by Lessee in builder's risk form written
on a completed value basis.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding paragraph, in
Page 15 of 45
Docn 1758774
Bkp 2431 Pgq 754
in case of destruction of all of the improvements on the Demised Premises from any cause so
as to make all Affordable Housing Units untenantable occurring during the last ten (10)
years of the Term of this Lease, Lessee, if not then in default under this Lease and if there is
no leasehold mortgage or other similar encumbrance on the Lessee's interest in the Demised
Premises, may elect to terminate this Lease by written notice to Lessor within thirty (30)
days after the occurrence of the destruction. In the event of termination, there shall be no
obligation on the part of Lessee to restore or repair the improvements on the Demised
Premises, nor any right of the Lessee to receive any proceeds collected under any insurance
policies covering the improvements. If Lessee elects not to terminate this Lease in the event
of destruction during the last ten (io) years of this Lease, the proceeds of all insurance
covering the improvements shall be made available to Lessee for repairs, and Lessee shall be
obligated to repair as set forth above.
Section 10.02 Commercial General Liability Insurance The Initial Lessee shall
maintain Commercial General Liability Insurance beginning on the Effective Date and
continuing during the entire Term of this Lease. The Commercial General Liability
Insurance shall cover those sources of liability which would be covered by the latest edition

for use in Florida without the attachment of restrictive endorsements other than the
elimination of medical payments and fire damage legal liability.

Section 10.03 Environmental Impairment Responsibility The Lessee and /or its
contractors acknowledge that the performance of this Lease is, or maybe, subject to Federal,
State and local laws and regulations enacted for the purpose of protecting, preserving or
restoring the environment. The Lessee shall, at the sole cost of the Lessee or its contractors,
be responsible for full compliance with any such laws or regulations.
Section 10.04 Other Insurance Lessee shall maintain such other insurance and in
such amounts as may from time to time be reasonably required by the Lessor against other
insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against in the case of construction
of buildings and /or in the case of premises similarly situated, due regard being or to be given
to the location, construction, use and occupancy. In the event the Lessee believes the
Lessor's requirement for such additional insurance is unreasonable the reasonableness of
Lessor's request shall be determined by mediation according to the rules of the Sixteenth
Judicial Circuit in Monroe County, Florida. Such determination as to the requirement of
coverage and the proper and reasonable limits for such insurance then to be carried shall be
binding on the parties and such insurance shall be carried with the limits as thus determined
Page 16 of 45
DocN 1758774
Bk# 2431 P9U 755
thus determined until such limits shall again be changed pursuant to the provisions of this
Section. The expenses of such determination shall be borne equally by the parties. This
procedure may only be requested on each five (5) year anniversary date of the Lease.
Section 10-05 Proceeds Payable to Mortgagee If any mortgagee holding a mortgage
created pursuant to the provisions of Article XV elects, in accordance with the terms of such
mortgage, to require that the proceeds of any casualty insurance be held by and paid out by
the mortgagee, then such payment may be made, but in such event, it shall still be obligatory
upon the Lessee to create the complete fund with the leasehold mortgagee in the manner set
forth in this Article to assure complete payment for the work of reconstruction and repair.
Any mortgagee holding insurance proceeds shall require that such proceeds are properly
used to ensure repairs, but any mortgagee shall not be liable for misuse of funds by Sublessee
or Lessee.
Section 10.06 Damages; Insurance Proceeds; Joint Bank Account Any excess of
money received from insurance remaining in the joint bank account after the reconstruction
or repair of such building or buildings, if the Lessee is not in default, shall be paid to the
Lessee. Absent circumstances reasonably excused under the conditions set forth in
paragraph 14.03, in the case of the Lessee not entering into the reconstruction or repair of
the building or buildings within a period of six (6) months from the date of payment of the
loss, after damage or destruction occasioned by fire, windstorm, flood or other cause, and
diligently prosecuting the same with such dispatch as may be necessary to complete the same
in as short a period of time as is reasonable under the circumstances after the occurrence of
such damage or destruction, then the amount so collected, or the balance thereof remaining
in the joint account, as the case may be, shall be paid to the Lessor and it will be at the
Lessor's option to terminate the Lease, unless terminated by Lessee within the last ten (10)
years of the Lease as set forth above, and retain such amount as liquidated and agreed upon
damages resulting from the failure of the Lessee to promptly, within the time specified,
complete such work of reconstruction and repair.
Section 10.07 Direct Repayment The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event the
insurance proceeds are the sum of One Hundred Thousand and oo /loo Dollars
($100,000.00) or less, then such proceeds shall be paid directly to the Lessee without the
necessity of creating the joint bank account, and Lessee shall use such funds to make the
replacements or repairs. Lessee shall provide proof satisfactory to Lessor that repairs are
completed as required within fifteen (15) months from the date of such damage or
destruction, unless said period is enlarged by delays caused without fault or neglect on the
part of the Lessee.
Section 10.08 General Requirements All insurance to be provided by Lessee under
this Lease shall be effected under valid and enforceable policies in such forms, issued by
insurers of recognized financial responsibility qualified to do business in Florida which have
been approved by Lessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. All policies of
insurance provided for in this Article shall, to the extent obtainable, contain clauses or
endorsements to the effect that (i) no act or negligence of Lessee or anyone acting for Lessee
or for any Sublessee or occupant of the Demised Premises which might otherwise result in a
forfeiture of such insurance or any part thereof shall in any way affect the validity or
Page 17 of 45
Docp 1758774
Bka 2431 Pga 756
enforceability of such insurance insofar as Lessor, and that (ii) such policy of insurance shall
not be changed or cancelled without at least thirty (30) days written notice to the Lessor, and
that (iii) the Lessor shall not be liable for any premiums thereon or subject to any
assessments thereunder.
Section 10 og Subsequent Lessees, Assignees Sublessees and Grantees.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event an authorized
Association chooses not to obtain insurance coverage to protect against loss or damage by
fire, flood and windstorm for the individual Affordable Housing Units and therefore does not
charge the Sublessees for said coverage as part of the Association fees to be paid by the
individual Unit Owners (if this project is expressly authorized as a home - ownership project);
then, in such event Sublessees shall secure the above- described insurance coverage for their
individual Affordable Housing Units. Therefore, Lessor shall be entitled to require
replacement cost and other customary and reasonable insurance coverage(s) at least but only
to the full replacement value of any Sublessees' and /or any governing Association's insurable
interest in the Demised Premises. Any parties who subsequently become holders of any title
or possessory interest to a portion of the Demised Premises, shall upon request provide, in a
form satisfactory to Lessor, proof of customary and reasonable insurance adequate and
sufficient to cover and protect all interests of the Lessor as set forth in this Article X, at least
to the extent and value of that subsequent interest holder's insurable interest. The same or
similar procedures for the use and application of insurance proceeds as set forth above may
be required for subsequent interest holders and the same remedies available to Lessor for
Initial Lessee's failure to comply with such insurance requirements shall be available to
Lessor with respect to any future interest holders. Future interest holders (including all
Sublessees) shall name Lessor as an additional insured on any required insurance policies.
ARTICLE XI
Insurance Premiums
Section 11.01 Insurance Premiums The Lessee shall pay premiums for all of the
insurance policies which the Lessee is obligated to carry under the terms of this Lease. In the
event Lessee fails to obtain and pay for the necessary insurance, Lessor shall have the right,
but not the obligation, without notice to Lessee, to procure such insurance and /or pay the
premiums of such insurance, in which case Lessee shall repay Lessor immediately upon
demand by Lessor as additional Rent. The Lessor shall have the same rights and remedies
with respect to procurement of such insurance and /or payment of such insurance premiums
in the event a future subsequent partial interest holder (e.g., Sublessee, Association) fails to
obtain and pay for the necessary insurance.
ARTICLE XII
Assignment /Transfer
Section 12.01 Assignment by Initial Lessee Lessee may assign or sublease the
Page 18 of 45
Doca 1758774
Bka 2431 PgN 757
affordable unit(s) using its own ground lease as long as it contains provisions for the
affordable housing restrictions as set forth in this Lease and in the Monroe County Code and
is consistent with other provisions herein. Without the written consent of Lessor, Initial
Lessee shall not assign or sublet any portion of the Demised Premises, or change
management of the Demised Premises, except as otherwise provided herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor acknowledges and agrees that the Affordable Housing
Unit(s) are to be developed as units for rent or sale to moderate or lesser income qualified
third parties, as defined in the Affordable Restrictions. Therefore, the Affordable Housing
Units may be rented and occupied without the Initial Lessee obtaining consent from Lessor
for such subletting, provided that Initial Lessee shall follow the guidelines set forth herein. In
the event an Affordable Housing Unit is to be rented to a qualified third party by Initial
Lessee, said Unit shall only be rented at rates allowable under the Affordable Restrictions for
moderate or lesser income - qualified third parties. Additionally, in the event Initial Lessee
retains ownership of Affordable Housing Units for rental purposes, Initial Lessee shall have
the right to assign its duties as property manager for said Units to a third party without
obtaining consent from Lessor, but shall ultimately remain responsible for performance of
such duties by any designated property manager.
Section 12.02 Initial Sale/ Lease of Unit By Developer/ Initial Lessee. Initial Lessee
shall be authorized to sell the Affordable Housing Units to individuals qualified to
own /occupy the Affordable Housing Units and subject to all other affordable housing
covenants of record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all
purchasers/ Sublessees of such Affordable Housing Units shall meet Monroe County's
requirements of moderate or lesser income affordable housing, adjusted for family size, and
any other applicable Affordable Restrictions. Initial Lessee shall upon Lessor's request
provide verification in a form and manner reasonably determined by Lessor that
purchasers /sublessees /tenants for all Affordable Housing Units meet the requirements
herein.
Section 12.03 Assignment /Transfer by Sublessees At such time as any individual
Unit Owner or Sublessee desires to sell, assign or otherwise transfer their Affordable
Housing Units and interests, the Sublessee shall be required to follow the procedures set
forth herein and any procedure that may be set forth in the Affordable Restrictions, and any
conveyance, transfer or other disposition and the acceptance of such transfers shall be
automatically deemed an agreement to the conditions set forth herein.
Section 12.04 Required Notice of Restrictions. Any conveyance, lease, assignment,
grant or other disposition of any interest made with respect to any portion of the Demised
Premises, including but not limited to any recorded Association governing documents, other
than those mortgage interests provided for in Article XV, shall contain the following required

shall be set forth in the Notice of Restrictions. Any instrument of conveyance, lease,
assignment or other disposition made without following the notice procedures set forth
herein shall be void and confer no rights upon any third person, though such instruments
may in some cases be validated by fully correcting them according to procedures established
by Lessor, as determined in Lessor's sole discretion, so as to ensure compliance with the
public affordability purposes furthered by this Lease and the Affordable Restrictions.
Section 12.o5 Follow -on Sales and Assignments of Ground Lease Requirements I,_u'ght of
First Refusal.
If Lessee or Sublessee can not find a suitable purchaser or sub lessee, or qualified tenant, for

Any rental agreement shall contain the following warning prominently set forth in writing:

UPON SURRENDER OR ABANDONMENT, AS DEFINED BY CHAPTER 83
FLORIDA STATUTES, THE LESSOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE OR
RESPONSIBLE FOR STORAGE OR DISPOSITION OF THE LESSEE'S
PERSONAL PROPERTY.
Section 12.o6 Assignment by Lessor. This Lease shall be freely assignable by the
Lessor, and upon such assignment, the Lessor's liability shall cease and Lessor shall be
released from any further liability. In the event the ownership of the land comprising the
Leased Premises is conveyed or transferred (whether voluntarily or involuntarily) by Lessor
to any other person or entity, this Lease shall not cease, but shall remain binding and
unaffected.
Section 12.07 Death of a Unit Owner In the event the Owner of an Affordable
Housing Unit dies, Lessor shall, unless for good cause shown, consent to a transfer of the
leasehold interest to the spouse, children) or other heirs, devisees, legatees or beneficiaries

Page 20 of 45
Doca 1758774
Bkq 2431 Pgp 759
devisees, legatees or other beneficiaries must demonstrate to the Lessor's reasonable
satisfaction that they qualify for ownership and /or occupancy of an affected Affordable
Housing Unit as provided for under this Lease and in the Affordable Restrictions. All estates
and leasehold or other interests granted in or conveyed with respect to any of the Demised
Premises do not extend to any degree so as to limit or inhibit the intent and operation of this
Lease and the Affordable Restrictions, it being expressly and irrevocably accepted on behalf
of all future Sublessees and all those who would or might succeed to their interests, that
these Demised Premises and each and every portion thereof, for the entire Term of this
Lease, are to be used as affordable housing according to the Affordable Restrictions. In the
event the spouse, heirs, devisees, legatees or beneficiaries of a deceased Owner do not meet
the requirements for affordable housing, such persons shall not occupy the premises and
shall not be entitled to possession, except and only to the extent that the Lessor permits
same, under conditions that it determines furthers the goals and public purposes of this
Lease and the Affordable Restrictions. Therefore, in such event, the heirs of the decedent
shall, if required by Lessor, transfer their interest in the Affordable Housing Unit in
accordance with the provisions of this Article XII and cooperate with the Lessor in
accomplishing same. It is the intent of this Lease, to the full extent Florida law permits, that
constitutional homestead rights not be construed to inhibit or limit the intended operation of
this provision.
Section 12.08 Administrative Fees Lessee may not charge more than one half of one
percent (.005%) administrative fee based on the sales price for the transfer of
improvements from one sublessee to another.
ARTICLE XIII
Condemnation
Section 13.01 Eminent Domain; Cancellation If, at any time during the continuance
of this Lease, the Demised Premises or any portion thereof is taken, appropriated or
condemned by reason of eminent domain, there shall be such division of the proceeds and
awards in such condemnation proceedings and such abatement of the Rent and other
adjustments made as shall be just and equitable under the circumstances. If the Lessor and
the Lessee are unable to agree upon what division, annual abatement of Rent or other
adjustments as are just and equitable, within thirty (30) days after such award has been
made, then the matters in dispute shall be determined in accordance with mediation
according to the rules of the 16th Judicial Circuit in Monroe County. Such determination
made by the mediation shall be binding on the parties. If the legal title to the entire Demised
Premises be wholly taken by condemnation, the Lease shall be cancelled.
Section 13.02 Apportionment Although the title to the building and improvements
placed by the Lessee upon the Demised Premises will on the Termination Date pass to the
Lessor, nevertheless, for purpose of condemnation, the fact that the Lessee placed such
buildings on the Demised Premises shall be taken into account, and the deprivation of the
Lessee's use (and any use of a Sublessee) of such buildings and improvements shall, together
with the Term of the Lease remaining, be an item of damage in determining the portion of
Page 21 of 45
Docq 1758774
Bka 2431 Pg# 760
portion of the condemnation award to which the Lessee or Sublessee is entitled. In general,
it is the intent of this Section that, upon condemnation, the parties hereto shall share in their
awards to the extent that their interests, respectively, are depreciated, damaged, or destroyed
by the exercise of the right of eminent domain. In this connection, if the condemnation is
total, the parties agree that the condemnation award shall be allocated so that the then value
of the property, as though it were unimproved property, shall be allocated to the Lessor, and
the then value of the building or buildings thereon shall be allocated between the Lessor and
Lessee after giving due consideration to the number of years remaining in the Term of this
Lease and the condition of the buildings at the time of condemnation. The Lessee shall not
be precluded from any condemnation remedy otherwise available to it by law.

employment, and to abide by all federal and state laws regarding non - discrimination.
(b) Lessee shall be entitled during the full term of this Lease to make alterations to
the Demised Premises in accordance with the requirements set forth in sub - paragraph (e),

the circumstances (except in an emergency, when no notice shall be necessary), to enter upon

14.o3 Forced Delay in Performance Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Lease to the contrary, the Initial Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default under this Lease

acts of God, labor disputes, governmental restrictions, embargoes, litigation (excluding
litigation between the Lessor and the Initial Lessee), tornadoes, hurricanes, tropical storms
or other severe weather events, or inability to obtain or secure necessary labor, materials or

assignments thereof.
(c) In case the Initial Lessee shall default under any of the provisions of this
Lease, the Initial Lessee's leasehold mortgagee(s) shall have the right to cure such default
whether the same consists of the failure to pay Rent or the failure to perform any other
matter or thing which the Initial Lessee is required to do or perform and the Lessor shall
accept such performance on the part of the leasehold mortgagee(s) as though the same had
been done or performed by the Initial Lessee. The leasehold mortgagee(s), upon the date of
mailing by Lessor of the notice referred to in subparagraph (b) of this Section 15.01 shall
have, in addition to any period of grace extended to the Initial Lessee under the terms and
conditions of this Lease for a non - monetary default, a period of sixty (6o) days within which
to cure anv non - monetary default or cause the same to be cured or to commence to cure such
default with diligence and continuity; provided, however, that as to any default of the Initial
Lessee for failure to pay Rent, or failure to pay any amount otherwise required under the
terms of this Lease (e.g., including, but not limited to, taxes or assessments), the leasehold
mortgagee(s) shall have thirty (3o) days from the date the notice of defaultwas mailedto the
mortgagee(s) within which to cure such default.
(d) In the event of the termination of this Lease with Initial Lessee for
defaults described in this Article XV, or of any succeeding Lease made pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 15.o1(d) prior to the cure provisions set forth in Section 15.01(c)
above, the Lessor will enter into a new Lease of the Demised Premises with the Initial
Lessee's leasehold mortgagee(s), or, at the request of such leasehold mortgagee(s), to a
corporation or other legal entity formed by or on behalf of such leasehold mortgagee(s) or by
or on behalf of the holder of the note secured by the leasehold mortgage, for the remainder of
the term, effective on the date of such termination, at the Rent and upon the covenants,
agreements, terms, provisions and limitations contained in this Lease, provided that such
leasehold mortgagee(s) make written request and execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Lessor such new Lease within thirty (3o) days from the date of such termination and such
written request and such new Lease is accompanied by payment to the Lessor of all amounts
then due to the Lessor, including reasonable counsel fees, court costs and disbursements
incurred by the Lessor in connection with any such default and termination as well as in
connection with the execution, delivery and recordation of such new Lease, less the net
income collected by the Lessor subsequent to the date of termination of this Lease and prior
to the execution and delivery of the new Lease, and any excess of such net income over the
aforesaid sums and expenses to be applied in payment of the Rent thereafter becoming due
under such new Lease.
Any new Lease referred to in this Section 15.01(d) shall not require any
execution, acknowledgement or delivery by the Lessor in order to become effective as against
the Lessee (or any Sublessees) and the Lessee (and any Sublessees) shall be deemed to have
executed, acknowledged and delivered any such new Lease immediately upon receipt by the
Page 25 of 45
Doca 1758774
Bkq 2431 P9N 764
receipt by the Lessor; and such new Lease shall be accompanied by (i) payment to the Lessor
of all amounts then due to the Lessor of which the leasehold mortgagee(s) shall theretofore
have received written notice; and (ii) an agreement by the leasehold mortgagee(s) to pay all
other amounts then due to the Lessor of which the leasehold mortgagee(s) shall not
theretofore have received written notice. In addition, immediately upon receipt by the
Lessor such new Lease, as provided in this Section 15.o1(d), the Lessor, where appropriate to
the circumstances, shall be deemed to have executed, acknowledged and delivered to the
leasehold mortgagee(s) an assignment of all Subleases covering the Demised Premises which
theretofore may have been assigned and transferred to the Lessor and all Subleases under
which Sublessees shall be required to attorn to the Lessor pursuant to the terms and
conditions of such Subleases or this Lease. Such assignment by the Lessor shall be deemed
to be without recourse as against the Lessor. Within ten (1o) days after a written request
therefore by the leasehold mortgagee(s), such assignment or assignments shall be reduced to
a writing in recordable form and executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Lessor to the
leasehold mortgagee(s).
(e) The Initial Lessee's leasehold mortgagees) may become the legal owner
and holder of this Lease by foreclosure of its(their) mortgage(s) or as a result of the
assignment of this Lease in lieu of foreclosure, which shall not require Lessor's consent,
whereupon such leasehold mortgagees) shall immediately become and remain liable under
this Lease as provided in Section 15.o1(f) below.
(f) In the event that a() leasehold mortgagee(s) shall become the owner or
holder of the Lessee's interest by foreclosure of its(their) mortgage(s) or by assignment of
this Lease in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, the term "Initial Lessee," as used in this Lease,
means only the owner or holder of the Lessee's interest for the time period that such
leasehold mortgagee(s) is(are) the owner or holder of the Lessee's interest. Accordingly, in
the event of a sale, assignment or other disposition of the Initial Lessee's interest in this
Lease by the leasehold mortgagee(s), where leasehold mortgagee(s) took title or ownership of
or to any or all of the Initial Lessee's interest in the Lease and /or any portion of the Demised
Premises as a result of foreclosure or acceptance of an assignment in lieu thereof, the
leasehold mortgagee(s) shall be entirely freed and relieved of all covenants and obligations of
performance relating to construction, marketing and transfer to Sublessees and it shall be
deemed and construed, without further agreement between the Lessor and the mortgagee(s),
or between the Lessor, the mortgagee(s) and the mortgagees' purchaser(s) or assignee(s) at
any such sale or upon assignment of Initial Lessee's interest by the leasehold mortgagee(s),
that the purchaser(s) or assignee(s) of Initial Lessee's interest has assumed and agreed to
carry out any and all covenants and obligations of Initial Lessee, including but not limited to
the construction, maintenance and management of the Affordable Housing Units
contemplated herein. In no event shall any protections afforded the leasehold mortgagee(s)
under this Lease be construed to permit eventual use of the Demised Premises for purposes
inconsistent with this Lease or the Affordable Restrictions.
(g) Within ten (1o) days after Lessor's receipt of written request by Initial
Lessee or by Initial Lessee's leasehold mortgagee(s), or after receipt of such written request
in the event that upon any sale, assignment or mortgaging of Initial Lessee's interest in this
Lease by Initial Lessee or Initial Lessee's leasehold mortgagee(s), an offset statement shall be
Page 26 of 45
Docp 3758774
BkU 2433 Pga 765
be required from the Lessor, and the Lessor agrees to deliver in recordable form a certificate
to any proposed leasehold mortgagee(s), purchaser(s), assignee(s) or to Initial Lessee,
certifying (if such be the case) G) that this Lease is in full force and effect; (ii) that the Lessor
has no knowledge of any default under this Lease, or if any default exists, specifying the
nature of the default; and (iii) that there are no defenses or offsets which are known and may
be asserted by the Lessor against the Lessee with respect to any obligations pursuant to this
Lease.
(h) So long as the Initial Lessee's interest in this Lease shall be mortgaged
to a leasehold mortgagee(s), the parties agree for the benefit of such leasehold mortgagee(s),
that they shall not surrender or accept a surrender of this Lease or any part of it, nor shall
they cancel, abridge or otherwise modify this Lease or accept material prepayments of
installments of Rent to become due without the prior written consent of such mortgagee(s)
in each instance.
(i) Reference in this Lease to acquisition of the Initial Lessee's interests in
this Lease by the() leasehold mortgagee(s) shall be deemed to refer, where circumstances
require, to acquisition of the Initial Lessee's interest in this Lease by any purchaser at a sale
of foreclosure by the leasehold mortgagee(s) and provisions applicable to the leasehold
mortgagee(s) in such instance or instances shall also be applicable to any such purchaser(s).
0) So long as the Initial Lessee's interest in this Lease shall be mortgaged to
a() leasehold mortgagee(s), the parties agree for the benefit of such leasehold mortgagee(s)
that the Lessor shall not sell, grant or convey to the Initial Lessee all or any portion of the
Lessor's fee simple title to the Demised Premises without the prior written consent of such
leasehold mortgagee(s). In the event of any such sale, grant or conveyance by the Lessor to
the Initial Lessee, the Lessor and the Lessee agree that no such sale, grant or conveyance
shall create a merger of this Lease into a fee simple title to the Demised Premises. This
subparagraph 0) shall not be construed to prevent a sale, grant or conveyance of the Lessor's
fee simple title by the Lessor to any person, firm or corporation other than the Initial Lessee,
its successors, legal representatives and assigns, so long as this Lease is not terminated.
(k) Reference in this Lease to the Initial Lessee's leasehold mortgagee(s)
shall be deemed to refer where circumstances require to the leasehold mortgagee(s)'s
assignee(s); provided that such assignee(s) shall record proper assignment instruments in
the Public Records of Monroe County, Florida, together with written notice setting forth the
name and address of the assignee(s).
(1) In conjunction and contemporaneously with the sale or transfer of each
Affordable Housing Unit, leasehold mortgagee(s) shall make arrangement to ensure the
release of any and all applicable portions of its (their) mortgage(s) on the entire Demised
Premises so as to grant clear title to the Sublessee. The details and release payment
requirements shall remain within the reasonable business discretion of the Initial Lessee and
the leasehold mortgagee(s).

(m) Lessor shall be entitled, in the event of any of the foregoing
circumstances or events set forth in this Paragraph 15.01, to elect to deal primarily or
exclusively with a mortgagee whose position is primary or in first order of priority with
respect to foreclosable interests or rights according to the laws of the State of Florida or as
contractually agreed by and among multiple mortgagees, where there are such.
Section 15.02 Permitted Mortgages for Sublessees (Unit Owners) The Lessee shall
incorporate the following into its sublease:
The individual Affordable Housing Unit Owners /Sublessees shall have the right to
encumber by mortgage their interests in any Sublease, improvements or any associated
portions of the Demised Premises related to their interests in the individual Affordable
Housing Units to a Federal or State Savings Loan Association, Bank, Trust Company or
similar lending institution, subject to the following requirements:
(a) The mortgage(s) encumbering the Affordable Housing Unit shall not exceed
loo % of the maximum allowable sale price of the Affordable Housing Unit as set forth in the
Affordable Restrictions;
(b) Sublessees shall not be entitled to mortgage their respective leasehold
interests in the event the terms of the note, which is secured by the mortgage, may result in
negative amortization, unless otherwise approved by Lessor;
(c) For informational and record keeping purposes, Sublessees shall present
to Lessor (i) a copy of approval(s) for loans encumbering their Affordable Housing Unit
within five (5) business days after such loans are approved, and (ii) no sooner than five (5)
business days before the scheduled loan closing date, a copy of the owner's and /or any
lender's title insurance commitment. Lessor's failure to approve or object to any of the
foregoing documents prior to the closing of a relevant loan shall not preclude closing of the
relevant loan and shall not constitute an opinion or confirmation by Lessor that the
corresponding loans or title insurance policies comply with or conform to the requirements
of this Lease or the Affordable Restrictions, nor constitute any waiver or relinquishment of
Lessor's rights to enforce same;
(d) In the event of foreclosure sale by a Sublessee's mortgagee or the delivery
of an assignment or other conveyance to a Sublessee's mortgagee in lieu of foreclosure with
respect to any real property subject to the provisions of this Lease, said mortgagee, or the
purchaser at foreclosure, shall comply with the provisions of Article XII. No sale of any
Affordable Housing Unit shall be permitted at an amount in excess of that allowed under the
Affordable Restrictions and shall otherwise fully comply with all applicable Affordable
Restrictions. Any Affordable Housing Unit accepted in lieu of foreclosure or as to which a
mortgagee intends to foreclose shall be subject to the Lessor's right of first refusal as set forth
in Article 12.05. Nothing herein shall preclude potential purchasers approved by Lessor
from bidding at any foreclosure sale and, where successful, purchasing the subject Affordable
Housing Unit at the foreclosure sale price in accordance with Article XII; and
Page 28 of 45
DocM 1758774
Blot 2431 Pgp 767
(e) The parties recognize that it would be contrary to the fundamental
affordable housing concept of this Lease and an incentive to abuse Sublessee's authorization
to encumber its leasehold interest with a mortgage if Sublessee could realize more in loan or
sale proceeds than their permitted purchase or resale price as a result of any transaction.
Accordingly, Sublessee hereby irrevocably assigns to Lessor (or the Monroe County Housing
Authority or other Lessor designee) any and all net proceeds from the sale of any interest in
the Demised Premises remaining after payment of costs of foreclosure and satisfaction of the
lien of any mortgage which would have otherwise been payable to Sublessee, to the extent
such net proceeds exceed the net proceeds that Sublessee would have received had the
interests been sold pursuant to the Affordable Restrictions. Sublessee hereby authorizes and
instructs the mortgagee or any party conducting the closing of a sale or through an
unauthorized transfer to pay the amount of said excess directly to Lessor. In the event, for
any reason, such excess proceeds are paid to Sublessee, Sublessee hereby agrees to promptly
pay the amount of such excess to Lessor.
ARTICLE XVI
Default
Section 16.ol Notice of Default. Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default under
this Lease in the payment of Rent or the payment of any other monies as herein required
unless Lessor shall first give to Lessee and any mortgagees ten (io) days written notice of
such default and Lessee or any other party on its behalf fails to cure such default within ten
(1o) days of verifiable receipt of said notice.
Except as to the provisions or events referred to in the preceding paragraph of this
Section, Lessee and Mortagees shall not be deemed to be in default under this Lease unless
Lessor shall first give to Lessee and Mortagees thirty (3o) days written notice of such default,
and Lessee fails to cure such default within the immediate thirty (3o) day period thereafter,
or, if the default is of such a nature that it cannot be cured within thirty (3o) days, Lessee
fails to commence to cure such default within such period of thirty (3o) days or fails
thereafter to proceed to the curing of such default with all possible diligence. Mortgagees
shall be entitled to cure Lessee defaults on the same terms and conditions as the Lessee.
Regardless of the notice and cure periods provided herein, in the event that more
rapid action is required to preserve any right or interest of the Lessor in the Demised
Premises due to any detrimental event or occurrence (such as, but not limited to, payment of
insurance premiums, actions to prevent construction or judgment lien foreclosures or tax
sales), then the Lessor is empowered to take such action and to request reimbursement or
restoration from the Lessee as appropriate.
Section 16.02 Default. In the event of any material breach of this Lease by Lessee,
Lessor, and after the necessary notice and cure opportunity provided to Initial Lessee and
other parties, in addition to the other rights or remedies it may have, shall have the
immediate right to terminate this Lease according to law. In any action by Lessor asserting a
Page 29 of 45
Doc# 1758774
Bk# 2431 Pg# 768
a violation of the Affordable Restrictions, Lessee shall have the burden of proof with respect
to such matter. Termination of the Lease, under such circumstances, shall constitute
effective, full and immediate conveyance and assignment to Lessor of all of the Demised
Premises, improvements and materials and redevelopment rights to and associated with the
Demised Premises and the Project, subject to mortgagee protection as provided herein.
Furthermore, in the event of any breach of this Lease by Lessee, Lessor, in addition to the
other rights or remedies it may have, shall have the immediate right of re -entry (as may be
lawfully conditioned per application of Chapter 83, Florida Statutes, as amended) and may
remove all persons and personal property from the affected portions of the Demised
Premises. Such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at
the cost of and for the account of Lessee, or where statutory abandonment or unclaimed
property law permits, disposed of in any reasonable manner by Lessor without liability or
any accounting therefore.
Included in this right of reentry, and subject to Initial Lessee's rights, if any, shall be
any instance wherein a Sublessee renounces the Lease or a Sublease or abandons all or any
portion of the Demised Premises, in which case Lessor may, at its option, in an appropriate
case and subject to any rights of a mortgage holder, obtain possession of the abandoned
property in any manner allowed or provided by law, and may, at its option, re -let the
repossessed property for the whole or any part of the then unexpired term, receive and
collect all Rent payable by virtue of such reletting, and hold Sublessee liable for any
difference between the Rent that would have been payable under this Lease and the net Rent
for such period realized by Lessor, by means of such reletting. However, such Lessor rights
shall not abrogate a mortgagee's rights to the extent those rights do not conflict with or
injure Lessor's interests as established under this Lease. Personal property left on the
premises by a Sublessee may be stored, sold, or disposed of by Lessor, and Lessor accepts no
responsibility other than that imposed by law.
Should Lessor elect to re- enter, as herein provided, or should Lessor take possession
pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, Lessor may
either terminate this Lease or it may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, re -let
the Demised Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term
extending beyond the Term of this Lease) and at such Rent or Rents and on such other terms
and conditions as Lessor in its sole reasonable discretion may deem advisable with the right
to make alterations and repairs to the Demised Premises. On each such re- letting Lessee
shall be immediately liable to pay to Lessor, in addition to any indebtedness other than Rent
due under this Lease, the expenses of such re- letting and of such alterations and repairs,
incurred by Lessor, and the amount, if any, by which the Rent reserved in this Lease for the
period of such re- letting (up to but not beyond the term of this Lease) exceeds the amount
agreed to be paid as Rent for the Demised Premises for such period of such re- letting.
Notwithstanding any such re- letting without termination, Lessor may at any time
thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach. Should Lessor at any time
terminate this Lease for any breach, in addition to any other remedy it may have, Lessor may
recover from Lessee all damages incurred by reason of such breach, including the cost of
Page 30 of 45
DocU 1758774
Bkq 2431 Pgo 769
of recovering the Demised Premises, which amounts shall be immediately due and payable
from Lessee to Lessor.
Section 16.0 Lessor's Right to Perform. In the event that Lessee, by failing or
neglecting to do or perform any act or thing herein provided by it to be done or performed,
shall be in default under this Lease and such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30)
days after receipt of written notice from Lessor specifying the nature of the act or thing to be
done or performed, then Lessor may, but shall not be required to, do or perform or cause to
be done or performed such act or thing (entering on the Demised Premises for such
purposes, with notice, if Lessor shall so elect), and Lessor shall not be or be held liable or in
any way responsible for any loss, inconvenience or annoyance resulting to Lessee on account
thereof, and Lessee shall repay to Lessor on demand the entire expense thereof, including
compensation to the agents and employees of Lessor. Any act or thing done by Lessor
pursuant to the provisions of this section shall not be construed as a waiver of any such
default by Lessee, or as a waiver of any covenant, term or condition herein contained or the
performance thereof, or of any other right or remedy of Lessor, hereunder or otherwise. All
amounts payable by Lessee to Lessor under any of the provisions of this Lease, if not paid
when the amounts become due as provided in this Lease, shall bear interest from the date
they become due until paid at the highest rate allowed by law. Lessor shall have the same
rights set forth in this Section with respect to any future subinterest holder's respective
portion of the Demised Premises.
Section 16.04 Default Period. All default and grace periods shall be deemed to run
concurrently and not consecutively.
Section 16.05. Affordable Restrictions. In the event the Lessee or sublessee fails to
comply with the Affordable Restrictions at any given time or any portion of the Demised
Premises is used for purposes other than affordable housing by an interest holder of such
portion, as they pertain to their respective interests in or portions of the Demised Premises,
such an occurrence will be considered a material default by the offending party. Should the
foregoing type of use default occur with respect to only one or more subtenants' portion(s) of
the Demised Premises, then the default termination provisions provided for in this
subsection, shall apply only to those subtenant(s) and sublease(s) in default. In the
foregoing event, Lessor (or the Initial Lessee (or its assigns) in the event of and with respect
only to a default by a particular Sublessee) may terminate the subleases and tenancies
involved, as the case may be, subject to Lessor's compliance with any applicable default
notice provisions provided elsewhere in this Lease and Lessee's, and Mortgagees applicable
cure rights, if any. Lessee hereby agrees that all occupants shall use the Leased Premises and
Improvements for affordable residential purposes only and any incidental activities related
to the residential use as well as any other uses that are permitted by applicable zoning law
and approved by Lessor.
ARTICLE XVII

express or implied, in fact or by law, by the Lessor, and without recourse to the Lessor as to

Section 18.05 Hazardous Materials Lessee, its Sublessees and assignees shall not
permit the presence, handling, storage or transportation of hazardous or toxic materials or
medical waste ( "hazardous waste ") in or about the Demised Premises, except in strict
compliance with all laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders and guidelines of any
