Item O12BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY Meeting Date: September 20. 2006 - MAR Division: County Attorney Bulk Item: Yes X No Staff Contact Person: Suzanne A. Hutton AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Request for approval to authorize execution of lease agreement previously presented to BOCC with 380 Agreement and Purchase/Sale Agreement, to confirm the BOCC's intent that the lease be executed. ITEM BACKGROUND: On 5/16/06 BOCC approved execution of the Development Agreement, "contingent upon final approval of the terms and conditions of the contemplated Agreement for Sale and Purchase and a 99 year lease from the County to ORC, ... and execution of the Agreement for Sale and Purchase, as revised." The discussion prior to that action included the information that both the 380 Agreement and the lease needed the approval of DCA, so the motion's reference to the final approval was apparently to DCA's approval. DCA did not require changes to the lease, but did require changes to the 380 Agreement. At the 6/21/06 meeting the changes to the 380 Agreement were approved by BOCC, but when the revised agreement was sent to DCA, they decided they wanted to remove one of the revisions they had previously requested. So it went back to BOCC on 7/19/06 for approval of the agreement with that change.

RECITALS WHEREAS, Lessor is the owner in fee simple of the property located at , Monroe County, Florida, and more particularly described on the attached Exhibit "A" (hereinafter "Property"); and, WHEREAS, it is Lessor's intent that the Property be developed to provide affordable housing for Monroe County; and, WHEREAS, Lessee desires to develop the Property and build and sell at least forty- nine (49) affordable housing units (provided allowed by County regulations and hereinafter the "Affordable Housing Units"), and Initial Lessee may rent/lease any Units not sold to qualified owner -occupants; and, WHEREAS, in order to preserve the affordability of the Units to be developed on the Property, Lessor desires to lease the Property to Lessee for ninety-nine (99) years, subject to the Affordable Restrictions as set forth and further defined herein; and, NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and obligations contained herein, and in any contemporaneous Related Agreements between the parties, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: ARTICLE I Definitions "Affordable Housing Unit" shall mean a residential housing unit that meets the moderate or lesser income requirements set forth in Chapter 9.5 and any other applicable sections of the Monroe County Land Development Regulations, as may be amended from time to time without limitation of Lessor's complete legislative prerogatives, said restrictions to encumber the Property for a term of ninety-nine (99) years. "Affordable Restrictions" shall mean the affordable or employee housing regulations as set forth in Chapter 9.5 and any other applicable sections of the Monroe County Land Development Regulations or County Code, as hereinafter amended, except that in no event shall the Lessor decrease the lawfully permissible sales price for an Affordable Housing Unit to less than the specified sales price for moderate income housing as set forth in the Land Page 3 of 52 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 Affordable Restrictions may be freely amended in the Lessor's legislative discretion, 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 an Affordable Housing Unit. 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 intent and purpose and shall be the effect of this Lease and any Affordable Restrictions to ensure that the affordability of Affordable Housing Units and dedicated real property upon which they are located is maintained and enforced such that any administrative rule, policy or interpretation thereof, made by Lessor or its designees relating to the maximum total amount of consideration and cost permitted to be in any way involved in a purchase or rental 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 restrictions imposed by this Lease and the Affordability Restrictions shall be made in favor of an interpretation that ensures long term affordability benefits for the respective housing resources inure to the benefit of Monroe County, its economy and its community character. "Association" shall mean the condominium, homeowners or similar community association customarily used in planned developments (including any contemplated herein) to manage certain aspects of community or planned development living (e.g., infrastructure management, rules and regulations, enforcement mechanisms and recreational facilities).

"Demised Premises" shall mean the property leased pursuant to this Lease for development of the Affordable Housing Units. The Demised Premises is legally described on attached Exhibit "A" and depicted on attached Exhibit "B". Demised Premises, where the context requires and the construction is most appropriate, shall also mean portions of the Demised Premises and any improvements erected thereon.

"Initial Lessee" means OVERSEAS REDEVELOPMENT COMPANY, LLC, developer of the Affordable Housing Units. Page 4 of 52 "Lease" shall mean this lease for the creation of the Affordable Housing Units on the Demised Premises, as may be amended from time to time by the parties.

"Lease Year" shall mean the twelve (12) month period beginning on the Commencement Date and each twelve (12) month period thereafter throughout the Term of this Lease. "Lessor" means MONROE COUNTY, or its assigns or designees. Lessor as used herein and where the context requires, shall mean an agency or party designated by the Lessor, by written notice to all parties, to administer or enforce some or any portion of the provisions of this Lease or the Affordable Restrictions. "Lessee" means the Initial Lessee and its successors and assigns, including the Association created by Initial Lessee for the Unit owners/tenants, as well as the individual Unit owners/tenants.

Related Agreements made to apply to this Lease are set forth in Exhibit F. "Rent" shall mean any sum of money due to the Lessor under this Lease for any reason. The term Rent as used herein, should not be misconstrued to preclude definition and distinguishing of rent, rental rates and other such other terms as maybe 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 or other conveyance of an interest in any portion of the Demised Premises authorized pursuant to this Lease, but excluding any rental of an Affordable Housing Unit (which may be more particularly discussed herein or in the Affordable Restrictions) and any security, mortgage, note or other interest of a form and type customarily used with purchase money or home equity loans.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall have the right to contest any taxes and assessments levied against Lessee; and provided Lessee files the appropriate documentation to contest said tax or assessment, Lessee shall not be in default of this Lease or obligated to pay any interest or other penalties to Lessor.

If it becomes necessary for the Lessor to respond to any claim, demand or unanticipated matter or to defend any action seeking to impose any such liability, the Lessee will pay the Lessor all costs of court and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the Lessor in effecting and preparing for such response or defense in addition to any other reasonable sums which the Lessor may be called upon to pay by reason of the entry of a judgment against the Lessor in any proceeding in which such claim is asserted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is hereby acknowledged that, except as otherwise provided in Section 12.01, upon completion of the construction and sale or assignment of any portions of the Project in accordance with this Lease, Initial Lessee shall be released from any and all liability related to such transferred portions of the Demised Premises and the subsequent use thereof by the Sublessees, their employees, agents, contractors, guests or invitees, including without limitation any death, injury or damage to person or property in or about the transferred portions of the Demised Premises, except as otherwise set forth herein. However, this release shall not constitute a release or waiver of Lessor's rights, if any, or possible entitlement to insurance coverages required by this Lease. Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee, or to Lessee's assignees or Sublessees or their employees, agents, contractors, guests or invitees for any death, injury or damage to person or property in, about or relating to the Demised Premises.

Any loss adjustment shall require the written consent of both the Lessor and Lessee. Section cg.o� Policy Limit Changes. The policy limits for the comprehensive liability insurance may be reviewed by Lessor every five (5) years and adjusted upward, if, in the reasonable discretion of Lessor such increase in coverage is prudent or if similar projects have begun to require greater insurance coverage. ARTICLE X Insurance Section io.o1 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 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 Lessee 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 from the date of such damage or destruction, rebuild and repair the same in such manner that the buildings or improvements so rebuilt Page 14 of 52 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 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 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 this Lease has been assigned to the Association, the Association must obtain any necessary vote to terminate. 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 and the Association (upon assignment to the Association) 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 of the standard Commercial General Liability Coverage Form [ISO Form CG oo-oi] as filed for use in Florida without the attachment of restrictive endorsements other than the elimination of medical payments and fire damage legal liability. General Aggregate $1,000,000 Products/Completed Operations $1,000,000 [coverage for one (1) year after project completion] Page 15 of 52 Each Occurrence $1,000,000 Contractual Liability $1,000,000 Additional Named Insured: Lessor, or its assigns or designees, as from time to time designated by written notice to Lessee, shall be included as additional insureds for Commercial General Liability. Section 10.03 Environmental Impairment Responsibility. The Lessee and/or its contractors acknowledge that the performance of this Lease is, or may be, 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 in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. 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 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. o s 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. 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 Page 16 of 52 thereof remaining in the joint account, as the case maybe, 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 o0/10o 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 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 1o.og Subsequent Lessees, Assignees, Sublessees and Grantees. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event the 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; 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 Page 17 of 52 holders (including all Sublessees) shall name Lessor as an additional insured on any required insurance policies. ARTICLE XI Insurance Premiums Section ii.oi 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.o1 Assignment by Initial Lessee. 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 Units are to be developed as units for sale or rent to moderate or lesser income qualified third parties, as defined in the Affordable Restrictions. Therefore, the Affordable Housing Units may be sold, rented and occupied without the Initial Lessee obtaining consent from Lessor for such sale/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. Furthermore, Lessor hereby agrees that in the event Initial Lessee elects not to sell all of the Affordable Housing Units to separate qualified individuals, then in such event, Initial Lessee shall be authorized to sell the remaining unsold Units in bulk (no fewer than three (3) Unit blocks, unless otherwise agreed by Lessor) at prices allowed under the Affordable Restrictions to an entity or individual that may not qualify under the Affordable Restrictions as of the date hereof. Said entity or individual shall have the same sale rights as the Developer/Initial Lessee and same rights to rent its Units at affordable rates as set forth herein; provided that Developer/Initial Lessee obtains the prior written consent of the Page 18 of 52 Lessor, said consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Developer/Initial Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing of its intent to sell Units in bulk, specifying which Units it proposes to sell in bulk, the proposed sale prices and identifying details about the proposed purchaser, and Lessor shall have fifteen (15) business days from receipt of such notice to provide written consent or denial. In the event Lessor fails to respond within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of Initial Lessee's notice, said failure to respond shall be deemed consent to sell the Affordable Housing Units in bulk at prices allowed under the Affordable Restrictions to the identified party. Additionally, Initial Lessee shall also have the right, with Lessor's consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) to sell in bulk the Units that it elects initially to retain as rentals (no fewer than three (3) Unit blocks, unless otherwise agreed by Lessor) at prices allowed under the Affordable Restrictions to an entity or individual that does not qualify for affordable housing pursuant to the foregoing notice procedures; provided that said entity or individual retains ownership of the Units and rents them at affordable rates and in compliance with the Affordable Restrictions. Initial Lessee shall provide Lessor with written notice of its intent to sell the rental Units in bulk and Lessor shall have fifteen (15) business days to respond as set forth above and any failure to respond shall be deemed consent. It is also agreed that any subsequent bulk purchaser shall have the right to sell the rental Units in bulk to another entity or individual provided said subsequent bulk purchaser obtains the prior written consent of the Lessor as set forth above and said Units are sold at prices allowed under the Affordable Restrictions. Upon the transfer/sale of each Affordable Housing Unit to be sold by Initial Lessee, or any successor Lessee hereunder, Lessor or its designee shall attorn to the rights of Initial Lessee, or subsequent Lessee, as the case may be, with respect to each transferred/sold Affordable Housing Unit. Any proceeds received by Initial Lessee from the sale of the Affordable Housing Units shall remain the property of the Initial Lessee unless otherwise provided herein. In conjunction and contemporaneously with the sale or transfer of each Affordable Housing Unit, Initial Lessee, or any successor Lessee, shall ensure the release of any and all mortgage, mechanic's lien or other similar claims with respect to the relevant portion of the Demised Premises other than new Sublessee purchase money mortgages and the like, as such may be permitted by Article XV. Upon transfer/sale of seventy-five percent (75%) of the Affordable Housing Units to be sold by Initial Lessee as authorized by this Lease, or as otherwise required or permitted by Florida law, Initial Lessee will be authorized to assign its interest in this Lease for any portions of the Demised Premises not part of the Affordable Housing Units (i.e., common area) to a homeowners', condominium or similar Association to be created by the Initial Lessee. Any such Association and its related declaration, articles of incorporation, bylaws and any other governing documents, as may be amended, shall first be approved by Lessor or its designee for compliance with the goals, purposes and intent of this Lease and the Affordable Restrictions, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Where such documents comply with the foregoing, Lessor shall join in any community ownership governing documents as may be required by Initial Lessee in order to conform its planned unit community governance to state law. No governing document related to such Association shall materially alter or impair the terms and conditions of this Lease or the applicability of the Affordable Restrictions. Monroe County shall have fifteen (15) business days from receipt of said documents to review and object to any contents thereof. In the event Monroe County fails to provide written notice Page 19 of 52 of its consent or denial in regard to said documents, said failure shall be deemed acceptance of the documents. Upon the foregoing contemplated assignments by Initial Lessee, the Affordable Housing Unit owners (as Sublessees) and the Association shall assume and thereby be assigned Lessee responsibilities to Lessor for their respective portions of the Demised Premises, releasing Initial Lessee from same for all such portions, except for design and construction defect liability for which developers/builders are otherwise responsible under Florida law. Sublessees, however, shall not be construed to have assumed or have assigned to them by this provision any indemnification duty to Lessor relating to any portions of the Demised Premises for which they hold no interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Initial Lessee's right to find or identify a qualified purchaser, as set forth below, shall attorn to the Lessor (unless assigned by Lessor as set forth below) and the Initial Lessee shall be released from further duty or responsibility to the Lessor for the resale of the Affordable Housing Units. It is hereby acknowledged that Lessor shall have the right to assign any of its duties and rights related to the assignment of Subleases, i.e. finding a qualified purchaser for resales, or renters in the case of rental units (unless the rental units are owned by Initial Lessee and Initial Lessee chooses to manage the retained units, then in such event Initial Lessee shall have the right to find qualified renters for said rental units where that right is not in conflict with the Affordable Restrictions), to the Monroe County Housing Authority, or to any other governmental entity or profit or non-profit organization designated and approved by Lessor. In the event such duties or rights are assigned, reference to "Lessor" in this Section 12.01 shall also refer to any assignee. 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. If Lessor is entitled to a reservation for initial purchase or assignment of the rights to purchase all or a portion of the newly completed Affordable Housing Units, such right and related procedures will be set forth in Exhibit F to this Lease. 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 Page 20 of 52 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 Notice of Restrictions in a conspicuous location on the upper one-half of the first page of the relevant instrument effectuating the interest in bold capital typed letters greater than or equal to 14 point font: NOTICE OF RESTRICTIONS ANY INSTRUMENT OF CONVEYANCE, LEASE, ASSIGNMENT, GRANT OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF ANY INTEREST IN OR TO ANY PORTION OF THE DEMISED PREMISES OR TO ANY IMPROVEMENTS ERECTED THEREON WILL BE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL, USE, OCCUPANCY, INCOME, MEANS, RESALE PRICE, RENTAL AND MORTGAGE LIMITATIONS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE SET FORTH IN OFFICIAL RECORDS BOOK _, PAGE _ OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA. The recorded book and page of the first recorded page of this Lease and, for recordable sale or sublease instruments, the first recorded page of the Association governing documents affecting the respective portion of the Demised Premises 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.o.,; Follow-on Sales and Assignments of Ground Lease Requirements; Right of First Refusal. Unless authorized by the Affordable Restrictions or unless otherwise as set forth in subsection e., below, or in another provision herein, rentals of Affordable Housing Units are prohibited. In order for an owner or subsequent owner to sell their Affordable Housing Unit and assign their Sublease they shall be required to comply with the following: a. Sublessee shall notify the Lessor or its designee in writing of their desire to sell the Affordable Housing Unit and assign the sublease, said notice hereinafter referred to as a "Transfer Notice." The Transfer Notice shall include the proposed purchase price for the Affordable Housing Unit, and any other compensation permitted the Seller relating to the proposed sale, which shall be in accordance with the Affordable Restrictions. Undisclosed compensation to a Seller or to any other party is prohibited and where it is found to have existed with respect to any transaction, the amount thereof shall be recoverable in law and equity from any parry to or facilitating and benefiting from such transaction with knowledge thereof. Page 21 of 52 b. Lessor shall have thirty (3o) days from the date of receipt of the written Transfer Notice to exercise its option granted hereunder to purchase the Affordable Housing Unit or to find or identify to the selling party in writing a qualified purchaser who meets the income and other requirements for purchasing the Affordable Housing Unit. Additionally: 1. The total sales price for all interests to be transferred shall be the purchase price set forth in the Transfer Notice, which shall not exceed the highest price permitted under the Affordable Restrictions. All additional terms of the contract shall be consistent with the Affordable Restrictions. Sublessee hereby agrees to execute a contract with a pre -qualified purchaser identified by the Lessor and to cooperate with reasonable closing procedures not in conflict with the Affordable Restrictions. 2. In the event Lessor finds a qualified purchaser, Lessor will assist in coordinating the closing on the Affordable Housing Unit. The closing shall be scheduled to occur within seventy- five (75) days from the effective date of the contract for the sale of the Affordable Housing Unit, unless extended by the mutual agreement of the parties and Lessor. C. In the event Lessor elects not to purchase or fails to identify a qualified purchaser who enters into a purchase contract within thirty (3o) days and who closes as provided above, and provided that Sublessee has fully complied with all required procedures set forth in the Lease and the Affordable Restrictions, Sublessee shall be entitled to sell the property to a qualified purchaser pursuant to the Affordable Restrictions and the terms set forth in the complying Transfer Notice. In this event, Sublessee shall allow Lessor to review and approve all proposed contract terms to ensure that the terms and the proposed purchaser meet the requirements for purchasing the Affordable Housing Unit, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Sublessee shall provide Lessor with a full copy of a written purchase and sale contract (and all addenda) within three (3) business days of full execution of each contract document, and all contracts shall state that they and the proposed purchaser are subject to this Lease and the approval of the Lessor. Lessor shall have fifteen (15) business days from receipt to review the terms of the contract documents. In the event Lessor fails to provide Sublessee with written approval or any written objections within fifteen (15) business days from receipt of a contract document, Lessor shall be deemed to have not objected to closing of the proposed transaction though not to have waived enforceability of any applicable provisions of this Lease or the Affordable Restrictions, whether or not any non-compliance may have been apparent from or may have been indicated in documents provided. Sublessee and the potential buyer shall also provide any other information Lessor reasonably Page 22 of 52 deems necessary to verify purchaser/Sublessee qualifications. All purchase and sale contracts shall be deemed to be contingent on the buyer and transaction being qualified under the Affordable Restrictions. Lessor and the proposed parties to a transfer transaction may agree to additional time periods necessary to verify full compliance with all aspects of the Affordable Restrictions. In no case shall Lessor, or its designees, be deemed to waive with respect to any party any requirement applicable to that party under the Affordable Restrictions where it turns out that such requirement was not in fact met, true or complied with. Lessor reserves, to itself and to its designees, all legal and equitable rights it deems necessary or appropriate to ensure that all portions of the Demised Premises are used for Affordable Housing, the purpose for which they were intended, including but not limited to termination of the sublease for any portion of the Demised Premises and forcing sale and reassignment of any improvements thereon. d. Lessor shall be deemed reasonable in withholding its approval for any proposed sale if the contract terms and proposed purchaser do not meet requirements set forth herein or in the Affordable Restrictions. After the Lessor has reviewed and approved a contract, Sublessee shall not have the ability to amend the terms of the contract unless Sublessee obtains Lessor's approval of the amendment as set forth in Paragraph c., above. The Sublessee shall only transfer their interest to approved persons, as defined by the Affordable Restrictions for moderate or lesser income, or to Lessor in the event Lessor and Sublessee are unable to find a qualified purchaser, so long as Lessor chooses to purchase the Affordable Housing Unit, in Lessor's sole and absolute discretion. Additionally, after the expiration of the thirty (30) day period described in Paragraph b. above, and before Sublessee has found a qualified purchaser, Lessor may, but is not obligated to, continue the search for a qualified purchaser. In the event Lessor finds and identifies a qualified purchaser prior to Sublessee doing so, the procedure set forth in Paragraph b.2., above, shall be followed. e. Lessee and Sublessees are deemed to understand and agree that Lessor may, in its absolute discretion, require that any Affordable Housing Unit originally sold as an affordable "ownership" and "occupancy" Affordable Housing Unit which is made the subject of any unauthorized offer to rent, or which is attempted to be or is actually rented absent specific written Lessor authorization or as authorized in the Affordable Restrictions, be deemed to have become the subject of an irrevocable offer to sell the Affordable Housing Unit and thus subject to the right of first refusal provisions of this Article XII and allow Lessor or its designee to purchase the Affordable Housing Unit at the highest price permitted under the Affordable Restrictions. Lessor may establish rental first right of refusal procedures similar to those set forth in Paragraphs a. - d., above, for Affordable Housing Units to be used for affordable rentals in accordance with the terms contained herein and in the Affordable Restrictions. In such case, a Sublessee may rent their Unit so long Page 23 of 52 as all rental agreements follow the guidelines and procedures set forth herein and in the Affordable Restrictions, including but not limited to providing Monroe County with a copy of the proposed rental agreement for review and approval. Additionally, the rental agreement must include a copy of the Association rules and regulations, as well as an acknowledgement by the tenant that they will abide by the rules and regulations of the Association, and Sublessee shall provide the Association with a copy of said rental agreement to ensure compliance. Furthermore, no Sublessee shall be authorized to enter into a rental agreement for an Affordable Housing Unit containing a term greater than one (1) year, or containing an automatic renewal term that would frustrate Lessor's rights or continued affordability expectations established under this Lease or the Affordable Restrictions. Additionally, in the event a tenant has been cited for a violation of the rules and regulations of the Association more than twice in any calendar year, Sublessee hereby agrees not to renew said lease without first obtaining the approval of the Association Board of Directors, and said approval may be withheld in their sole and absolute discretion. Any rental agreement shall contain the following warning prominently set forth in writing: BY SIGNING THIS RENTAL AGREEMENT THE TENANT AGREES THAT 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 is 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.o7 Death of a Unit Owner or Permanent Absence From Occupancy. 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, child(ren) or other heirs, devisees, legatees or beneficiaries of the Affordable Housing Unit Owner provided that such persons state, in writing, under oath that they have reviewed the terms of this Lease and any related documents, and that they understand and accept the terms of this Lease by signing an acknowledgement, which is substantially in a form similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit E. All spouses, heirs, 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 Page 24 of 52 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.o8 Administrative Fees. With the exception of the initial sales by Initial Lessee, the Lessor or its designee shall be entitled to charge three and one-half percent (31/2 %) of the Purchase Price (gross compensation however described) for any transferred interest (other than simple security mortgage interests or rental agreements) in which Lessor identified the purchaser, as an administrative fee for coordinating the closing on any Affordable Housing Unit, said fee to be paid by the selling Unit Owner at the time of closing. This fee does not include other seller and buyer closing related costs such as title insurance, documentary stamps, intangible taxes, prorated taxes, real estate commissions, insurance, homeowners' assessments, loan expenses and the like, or rental management or processing fees for rental units. In the event Lessor was unable to identify a purchaser, Lessor shall still be entitled to an administrative fee of one and one-half percent (11/2 %) of the Purchase Price for review of the contract and assistance with coordinating the closing on the Affordable Housing Unit. After the initial sales by Initial Lessee, the Lessor or its designee shall be authorized to designate closing, escrow and title agents involved in all transactions involving interests subject to this Lease. After the initial sale of each Affordable Housing Unit by Initial Lessee, Lessor or its designee may, initially and from time to time, establish, promulgate, revise and/or waive all or part of such fees related to the administration of this Lease and any Subleases, but in no event may Lessor increase the amount of the administrative fee to an amount in excess of three and one-half percent (3 1/2 %) for an owner who purchased his or her Affordable Housing Unit without actual, constructive or regulatory notice of the potential applicability of a greater percentage fee. ARTICLE XIII Condemnation Section 13.oi Eminent Domain; Cancellation. If, at anytime 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 (3o) days after such award has been Page 25 of 52 made, then the matters in dispute shall be determined in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Such determination made by the arbitration 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 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. ARTICLE XIV Construction Section 14.o1 Requirement to Construct Project. (a) Initial Lessee shall commence construction of the Project no later than one hundred twenty (12o) days after the issuance of the building permits necessary for the construction of the Project, and shall substantially complete construction of all forty-nine (49) Affordable Housing Units within eighteen (18) months thereafter.

(b) During the course of construction of the Project, Initial Lessee shall provide to the Lessor quarterly written status reports on the Project. The Lessor and Initial Lessee shall allow and permit reasonable access to, and inspection of, all documents, papers, letters or other materials in their possession or under their control where such information is subject to public disclosure under the provisions of Chapter 119, F.S., or successor or supplemental statutes. However, nothing contained herein shall be construed to render documents or records of Initial Lessee or any other persons that would not be deemed public records under Chapter 119 to be such records only because of this provision. Lessees (but not individual sublessees occupying an Affordable Housing Unit as their primary residence) shall maintain all books, records, and documents directly pertinent to Page 26 of 52 performance under this Lease in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. The County Clerk, State Auditor, or a designee of said officials or of the Lessor, shall,.during the term of this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years from the date of termination of this Agreement, have access to and the right to examine and audit any Records of the Lessee involving transactions related to this Agreement. (c) The Project shall be constructed in accordance with the requirements of all laws, ordinances, codes, orders, rules and regulations of all governmental entities having jurisdiction over the Project, including, but not limited to, the Lessor. (d) The Initial Lessee shall apply for and prosecute, with reasonable diligence, all necessary approvals, permits and licenses required by applicable governmental authorities for the construction, development, zoning, use and occupation of the Project. Lessor agrees to cooperate with and publicly support the Initial Lessee's effort to obtain such approvals, permits and licenses, provided that such approvals, permits and licenses shall be obtained at Initial Lessee's sole cost and expense. Nothing in this Lease is intended to or shall be construed to obviate or lessen any requirements for customary development approvals from any permitting authority, including the Lessor. Nothing in this Lease shall be construed as the Lessor's delegation or abdication of its zoning authority or powers and no zoning approval that Initial Lessee may require to complete its performance under this Lease has been or shall be deemed agreed to, promise or contracted for by this Lease. (e) Construction of the Project on the Demised Premises prior to and during the Term of this Lease shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, pursuant to written contracts with licensed contractors and in accordance with any and all requirements of local ordinances and with all rules, regulations and requirements of all departments, boards, officials and authorities having jurisdiction thereof. It is understood and agreed that the plans and specifications for all construction shall be prepared by duly qualified architects/engineers licensed in the State of Florida. W At all times and for all purposes hereunder, the Initial Lessee is an independent contractor/lessee and not an employee of the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County or any of its agencies or departments. No statement contained in this Lease shall be construed as to find the Initial Lessee or any of its employees, contractors, servants or agents to be employees of the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, and they shall be entitled to none of the rights, privileges or benefits of County employees. No covenant or agreement contained herein shall be deemed to be a covenant or agreement of any member, officer, agent or employee of Monroe County in his or her individual capacity, and no member, officer, agent or employee of Monroe County shall be liable personally on this Lease or be subject to any personal liability or accountability by reason of the execution of this Lease. (g) Initial Lessee agrees that it will not discriminate against any employees, applicants for employment, prospective Sublessees or other prospective future subinterest holders or against persons for any other benefit or service under this Lease because of their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, or physical or mental handicap Page 27 of 52 where the handicap does not affect the ability of an individual to perform in a position of employment, and to abide by all federal and state laws regarding non-discrimination. 14.02 Access to the Project and Inspection. The Lessor or its duly appointed agents shall have the right, at all reasonable times upon the furnishing of reasonable notice under the circumstances (except in an emergency, when no notice shall be necessary), to enter upon the common area of the Leased Premises to examine and inspect said area to the extent that such access and inspection are reasonably justified to protect and further the Lessor's continuing interest in the Demised Premises, as determined in Lessor's reasonable discretion. Lessor's designees, for purposes of this Article 14.02, shall include city, county or State code or building inspectors, and the like, without limitation. Initial Lessee shall permit building and code inspectors access customary to the performance of their duties related to projects of the nature contemplated herein, said notice requirements notwithstanding. 14.03 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 where delay in the construction or performance of the obligations imposed by this Lease are caused by war, revolution, labor strikes, lockouts, riots, floods, earthquakes, fires, casualties, 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 excusable inability to obtain or secure necessary labor, materials or tools, delays of any contractor, subcontractor, or supplier, or unreasonable acts or failures to act by the Lessor, or any other causes beyond the reasonable control of the Initial Lessee. The time of performance hereunder shall be extended for the period of any forced delay or delays caused or resulting from any of the foregoing causes. Mortgage Financing Section is. oi Construction Financing -B,y Initial Lessee. Initial Lessee shall have the right to mortgage its interests in the Demised Premises. (a) The Initial Lessee shall have the right to encumber by mortgage or other proper instrument Initial Lessee's interest under this Lease, together with all buildings and improvements placed by Initial Lessee on the Demised Premises, to a Federal or State Savings & Loan Association, Bank or Trust Company, Insurance Company, Pension Fund or Trust (or to another private lender so long as the terms and conditions of the financing from private lender are on substantially similar terms to those then existing by the other lenders referred to in this Section), or to similar lending institutions authorized to make leasehold mortgage loans in the State of Florida, or to any public or quasi -public lender. (b) Until the time any leasehold mortgage(s) shall be satisfied of record, Page 28 of 52 when giving notice to the Initial Lessee with respect to any default under the provisions of this Lease, the Lessor shall also serve a copy of such notice upon the Initial Lessee's leasehold mortgagee(s) at addresses for notice set forth in the mortgage instrument(s) (including assignments thereof) as recorded in the Public Records of Monroe County, Florida. No such notice to the Initial Lessee shall be deemed to have been given unless a copy of such notice has been mailed to such leasehold mortgagee(s), which notice must specify the nature of each such default. Initial Lessee shall provide Lessor with written notice of the book and page number of the Public Records of Monroe County, Florida for each mortgage by which it encumbers the Demised Premises. (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 any 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 default was mailed to 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.oi(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 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. Page 29 of 52 Any new Lease referred to in this Section 15.ol(d) shall not require any execution, acknowledgement or delivery by the Lessor in order to become effective as against the Lessor (or any Sublessees) and the Lessor (and any Sublessees) shall be deemed to have executed, acknowledged and delivered any such new Lease immediately upon receipt by the Lessor; and such new Lease shall be accompanied by (i) payment to the Lessor 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.oi(d), the Lessor 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 (io) 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 mortgagee(s) 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 mortgagee(s) shall immediately become and remain liable under this Lease as provided in Section 15.oi(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 of the Affordable Housing Units contemplated herein. In no event shall any protections afforded a() 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. Page 30 of 52 (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 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) (i) 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). Page 31 of 52 (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 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 l00% 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; Page 32 of 52 (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 (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 16m 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 ten (1o) days written notice of such default and Lessee fails to cure such default within ten (1o) days of receipt of said notice. Except as to the provisions or events referred to in the preceding paragraph of this Section, Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default under this Lease unless Lessor shall first give to Lessee 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. Page 33 of 52 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 or other detrimental 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 breach of this Lease by Lessee, Lessor, and after the necessary notice provided to Initial Lessee's leasehold mortgagee(s), in addition to the other rights or remedies it may have, shall have the immediate right to terminate this Lease according to law. Termination of the Lease under such circumstances shall constitute effective, full and immediate conveyance and assignment to Lessor of all of Initial Lessee's property and redevelopment rights to and associated with the Demised Premises and the Project, subject to mortgagee protections 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 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 shall be any instance wherein a Sublessee renounces the Lease or a Sublease or abandons 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 his 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 maybe stored, sold, or disposed of by Lessor, and Lessor accepts no responsibility other than that imposed by law. Page 34 of 52 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 anytime 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 recovering the Demised Premises, which amounts shall be immediately due and payable from Lessee to Lessor. Section 16.03 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.o5. Affordable Restrictions. In the event any portion of the Demised Premises is used for purposes other than affordable housing by an interest holder of such portion, or if Lessee or any Sublessees fail to comply with the Affordable Restrictions, as Page 35 of 52 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. 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 immediately terminate the Lease or Sublease. 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. ARTICLE XVII Repair Obligations Section 17.o1 Repair Obligations. During the continuance of this Lease the Lessee, and every Sublessee with respect to their leased or purchased portions of the Demised Premises, shall keep in good state of repair any and all buildings, furnishings, fixtures, landscaping and equipment which are brought or constructed or placed upon the Demised Premises by the Lessee, and the Lessee shall not suffer or permit any strip, waste or neglect of any building or other property to be committed, except for that of normal wear and tear. The Lessee will repair, replace and renovate such property as often as it may be necessary in order to keep the buildings and other property which is the subject matter of this Lease in first class repair and condition. Additionally, Lessor shall not be required to furnish any services or facilities, including but not limited to heat, electricity, air conditioning or water or to make any repairs to the premises or to the Affordable Housing Units. ARTICLE XVIII Additional Covenants of Lessee/Lessor Section 18.01 Legal Use. The Lessee covenants and agrees with the Lessor that the Demised Premises will be used primarily for the construction and operation of a multi -unit affordable housing complex and the other matters as may be set forth in this Lease, with related amenities and facilities, and for no other purposes whatsoever without Lessor's written consent. Section 18.02 Termination. Upon termination of this Lease, the Lessee will peaceably and quietly deliver possession of the Demised Premises, unless the Lease is extended as provided herein. Therefore, Lessee shall surrender the improvements together with the leased premises. Ownership of some or all improvements shall thereupon revert to Lessor. Page 36 of 52 Section 18.o3 Recovery of Litigation Expense. In the event of any suit, action or proceeding, at law or in equity, by either of the parties hereto against the other, or any other person having, claiming or possessing any alleged interest in the Demised Premises, by reason of any matter or thing arising out of or relating to this Lease, including any eviction proceeding, the prevailing party shall recover not only its legal costs, but reasonable attorneys' fees including appellate, bankruptcy and post judgment collection proceedings for the maintenance or defense of said action or suit, as the case may be. Any judgment rendered in connection with any litigation arising out of this Lease shall bear interest at the highest rate allowed by law. Lessor may recover reasonable legal and professional fees attributable to administration, enforcement and preparation for litigation relating to this Lease or to the Affordable Restrictions from any person or persons from or to whom a demand or enforcement request is made, regardless of actual initiation of an action or proceeding. Section 18.04 Condition of the Demised Premises. Lessee agrees to accept the Demised Premises in its presently existing condition "as -is". It is understood and agreed that the Lessee has determined that the Demised Premises are acceptable for its purposes and hereby certifies same to Lessor. Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall bring or cause to be brought to the Demised Premises adequate connections for water, electrical power, telephone, stormwater and sewage and shall arrange with the appropriate utility companies for furnishing such services with no obligation therefore on the part of Lessor. The Lessor makes no express warranties and disclaims all implied warranties. Lessee accepts the property in the condition in which it currently is without representation or warranty, express or implied, in fact or by law, by the Lessor, and without recourse to the Lessor as to the nature, condition or usability of the Demised Premises, or the uses to which the Demised Premises may be put. The Lessor shall not be responsible for any latent defect or change of condition in the improvements and personalty, or of title, and the Rent hereunder shall not be withheld or diminished on account of any defect in such title or property, any change in the condition thereof, any damage occurring thereto, or the existence with respect thereto of any violations of the laws or regulations of any governmental authority. Section 18.o5 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 government agency having jurisdiction and the applicable board of insurance underwriters. In no event shall hazardous waste be disposed of in or about the Demised Premises. For purposes herein, the term hazardous materials or substances shall mean any hazardous, toxic or radioactive substance material, matter or waste which is or becomes regulated by any federal, state or local law, ordinance, order, rule, regulation, code or any other governmental restriction or requirement and shall include petroleum products and asbestos as well as improper or excessive storage or use of common household cleaning and landscaping chemicals, pesticides, batteries and the like, and those materials defined as hazardous substance or hazardous waste in the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act and/or the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. Page 37 of 52 Lessee shall notify Lessor immediately of any discharge or discovery of any hazardous waste at, upon, under or within the Demised Premises. Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all remedial measures required by any governmental agency having jurisdiction.
