financial strength, business reputation and operational/management experience of Tenant and the proposed subtenant or assignee, (ii) any history that the proposed subtenant or anyone has with the liquor licensing agencies of the City of Hialeah, County of Miami-Dade and the State of Florida, and (iii) whether the use of the Demised Premises after such sublease or assignment would create any nuisance or violate any federal, state or local laws or any lease or agreement affecting the premises or involving Hazardous Materials.

Tenant shall deliver all documents pertaining to any such assignment or subletting to Landlord upon Landlord’s demand. Such profit shall not include any lump-sum payment made to Tenant from its assignee or subtenant in consideration of the transfer of Tenant’s business, trade name, inventory, or goodwill: but any amount attributed to lease assignment or sale on any document concerning the transaction (including the assignee’s tax return) by assignee shall be conclusively established as not attributable to Tenant’s business, trade name, inventory or goodwill, and therefore, shall be included in Tenant’s profits as described herein.

Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable fees, not to exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000.00), incurred for review of such assignment or sublease and all other materials submitted by Tenant in connection with the request for Landlord’s consent, whether or not such assignment or sublease is approved.

(d) Any transfer for which consent is required of any party having a mortgage, deed, or trust or other encumbrance or of any lessor under any ground or underlying lease of all or any part of the Property shall not be effective until such consent is given.

(e) Notwithstanding anything else in this article contained, as a condition to Landlord’s written approval of any assignment or sublease by Tenant, Landlord may require that it shall be entitled to the receipt of fifty percent (50%) of any profit derived by Tenant as a result of such assignment or sublease. Such profit is defined as any amounts received by Tenant from its assignee or subtenant in excess of the Rent required to be paid by Tenant hereunder. Tenant shall deliver all documents pertaining to any such assignment or subletting to Landlord upon Landlord’s demand. Such profit shall not include any lump-sum payment made to Tenant from its assignee or subtenant in consideration of the transfer of Tenant’s business, trade name, inventory, or goodwill: but any amount attributed to lease assignment or sale on any document concerning the transaction (including the assignee’s tax return) by assignee shall be conclusively established as not attributable to Tenant’s business, trade name, inventory or goodwill, and therefore, shall be included in Tenant’s profits as described herein. In no event shall the payment received by Landlord pursuant to this subparagraph (b) be less than $100,000.00. (INITIALED: MO, KW)

pay an equitable share thereof, to be determined by Landlord, of all charges jointly metered with other Premises.

(b) Landlord has advised Tenant that presently (“Electric Service Provider”) is the utility company selected by Landlord to provide electricity for the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if permitted by Law, Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the Lease Term to either contract for service from a different company or companies providing electricity service (each such company shall hereinafter be referred to as an “Alternative Service Supplier”) or continue to contract for service from the Electric Service Provider. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord, the Electric Service Provider and any Alternative Service Provider at all times and, as reasonably necessary, shall allow Landlord, Electric Service Provider and any Alternate Service Provider reasonable access to the electric lines, feeders, risers, wiring, and any other machinery within the Demised Premises which may serve the Property.

(c) Landlord does not warrant or guarantee the continued availability of any or all of the utility services necessary or desirable for the use of the Demised Premises by Tenant. In no event shall the interruption, diminution or cessation of such services be construed as an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any abatement of its Rent obligations under this Lease or on account thereof. Landlord shall in no way be liable or responsible for any loss, damage, or expense that Tenant may sustain or incur by reason of any change, failure, interference, interruption, disruption or defect in the supply or character of the utilities furnished to the Demised Premises, and no such change, failure, diminution, cessation, unavailability or unsuitability shall constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under the Lease.

(d) Landlord reserves the right to suspend any and all utilities service to the Demised Premises when, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, such suspension is necessitated by reason of accident, repairs, inspections, alterations or improvements, until any of the same have been completed.

(INITIALED: MO, KW)

19. FAILURE TO SURRENDER POSSESSION.

(a) The parties recognize and agree that the damage to Landlord resulting from any failure by Tenant to timely surrender possession of the Demised Premises will be substantial, will exceed the amount of the monthly installments of the Rent payable hereunder, and will be impossible to measure accurately.

(b) Tenant therefore agrees that if possession of the Demised Premises is not surrendered to Landlord upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, in addition to any other rights or remedies Landlord may have hereunder or at law, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as liquidated damages, for each month and for each portion of any month during which Tenant holds over in the Demised Premises after the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, a sum equal to one and one-half (1½) times the aggregate of that portion of the monthly Rent that was payable under this Lease during the last month of the term hereof. The provisions of this subparagraph shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

(c) No provision of this paragraph 19 or any other provision of this Lease shall be deemed to permit Tenant to retain possession of the Demised Premises after the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term, or to have extended or renewed the Lease Term beyond its expiration or termination, except by timely and proper exercise by Tenant of the Option as provided in subparagraph 3(b) above (if applicable). Acceptance of any payment of Rent during any holdover period by Landlord shall not be deemed acceptance of Tenant’s occupancy.

(d) At the termination of this Lease, either upon the expiration of its term or upon default, Lessee will execute any and all documents necessary to convey to Landlord and/or its assignee, the Liquor License applicable to the Demised Premises, subject to approval of the appropriate governmental authorities.

Landlord shall also have the right to conduct such maintenance and repair of or to the Demised Premises (or the Building) as Landlord may deem necessary, without abatement of Rent, and for that purpose may erect scaffolding and other necessary structures where reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed, always providing that the entrance to the Demised Premises shall not be unreasonably blocked thereby, and further provided that the business of Tenant shall not be interfered with unreasonably. Landlord shall use its reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of any such entry to Tenant and shall attempt to minimize interference with Tenant’s business. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages or for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Demised Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby. For each of the aforesaid purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon and about the Demised Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes and files. Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency, in order to obtain entry to the Demised Premises without liability to Tenant except for any failure to exercise due care for Tenant’s property. Any entry to the Demised Premises obtained by Landlord by any of such means, or otherwise, shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of the Demised Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Demised Premises or any portion thereof.

(b) failure by Tenant to pay any Rent when required hereunder;

(c) failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, except the payment of Rent, where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant (provided, however, that If the nature of Tenant’s default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion, but in no event beyond an additional thirty (30) days);

(d) the making by Tenant or Guarantor of any general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; or the filing by or against Tenant or Guarantor of a petition to have Tenant or Guarantor adjudged a bankrupt, or a petition or a reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant or Guarantor, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); or the appointment of a trustee or a receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Demised Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Demised Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days; or

(e) the liquor license being in imminent danger of being revoked or the revocation of any of the Liquor Licenses/ Permits by the State of Florida or the City of Hialeah for any reason whatsoever.

(f) In the event that of a Tenant Default, Notice shall be given in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 29(p), except that a notice of a default must be served via certified mail.

(g) Notwithstanding the cure period allowed by subparagraph (c) above, it shall be an immediate default under this Lease if Tenant fails to surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease, or if any failure of Tenant to comply with any provision of this Lease jeopardizes any insurance coverage or causes or results in a dangerous condition on the Demised Premises or the remainder of the Property, and such failure to comply is not cured as soon as reasonably possible after notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant. In no event shall financial inability be considered a reasonable ground for failure of Tenant to cure any breach of, or failure to comply with, the provisions of this Lease.

22. LANDLORD’S REMEDIES. In the event of any such default or breach by Tenant, Landlord may take any of the following actions at any time thereafter, in its sole discretion, with or without notice or demand and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy which Landlord may have by reason of such default or breach under the laws or judicial decisions of the State of Florida.

(INITIALED: MO, KW)

(a) Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Demised Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate, Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Demised Premises to Landlord, and Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s default including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering possession of the Demised Premises; expenses of relating, including necessary renovation and alteration of the Demised Premises; reasonable attorney fees; the worth at the time of award by the court having jurisdiction thereof of the amount by which the unpaid Rent called for herein for the balance of the term after the time of such award exceeds the amount of such loss for the same period that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided.

(b) Landlord may reenter and take possession of the Demised Premises or any part thereof, without demand or notice, and repossess the same and expel Tenant and any party claiming by, under or through Tenant, and remove the effects of both using such force for such purposes as may be necessary, without being liable for prosecution on account thereof of being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass, and without prejudice to any remedies for arrears of Rent or right to bring any proceeding for breach of covenants or conditions. No such reentry or taking possession of the Demised Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant. No notice from Landlord hereunder or under a forcible entry and detainer statute or similar law shall constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless such notice specifically so states. Landlord reserves the right, following any reentry or relating, to exercise its right to terminate this Lease by giving Tenant such written notice, in which event this Lease will terminate as specified in such notice. After recovering possession of the Demised Premises, Landlord may, from time to time, but shall not be obligated to, relet the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, for the account of Tenant, for such term or terms and on such conditions and upon such other terms as Landlord, in its discretion, may determine. Landlord may make such repairs, alterations or improvements as Landlord may consider reasonably appropriate to accomplish such relating, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including without limitation leasing commissions and attorney fees) which Landlord may incur in connection with such relating. Landlord may collect and receive the rents for such releting but Landlord shall in no way be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, or for any failure to collect any rent due upon such relating. Notwithstanding Landlord’s recovery of possession of the Demised Premises, Tenant shall continue to pay on the dates herein specified, the Minimum Rent and all Additional Rent which would be payable hereunder if such repossession had not occurred, less a credit for the net amounts, if any, actually received by Landlord through any relating of the Demised Premises.

(c) Landlord may maintain Tenant’s right to possession, in which case this Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Tenant shall have abandoned the Demised Premises. In such event Landlord shall be entitled to enforce all of Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the Rent as it becomes due hereunder.

(d) In any event, Landlord shall be entitled to recover interest on any unpaid Rent or any amounts owing pursuant to this Lease not paid when due at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum from the date due until paid in full.

23. DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Demised Premises whose name and address shall theretofore been furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligations is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate this Lease as a result of Landlord’s default, and Tenant’s remedies shall be limited to actual (not consequential or punitive) damages and/or an injunction.

24. RECONSTRUCTION.

(a) Subject to the provisions of subparagraphs (b) and (c) below, in the event the Demised Premises or any other portion of the Building is damaged by fire or other perils covered by extended coverage insurance, and such damage does not require structural demolition and reconstruction of all or part of the Building, Landlord agrees to forthwith repair such damage utilizing the proceeds of insurance and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except that Tenant shall be entitled to an equitable reduction of Minimum Rent from the date of damage until completion of such repairs, based on the extent to which the damage and making of such repairs shall reasonably interfere with the business carried on by Tenant in the Demised Premises.

(b) In the event that any casualty requires structural demolition and reconstruction of all or part of the Building (whether or not such reconstruction involves any portion of the Demised Premises), Landlord may, at its election, give notice to Tenant at any time within sixty (60) days after such damage, terminating this Lease as of a date specified in such notice not more than thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice. In the event of giving such notice, this Lease and all interest of Tenant in the Demised Premises shall terminate on the date so specified in such notice, and the Minimum Rent, reduced by a proportionate reduction, based upon the extent, if any, to which such damage interfered with the business carried on by Tenant in the Demised Premises, shall be paid up to date of such termination. In the alternative, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant within such 60-day period, elect to repair or restore such damage, in which case the Minimum Rent shall be proportionately reduced as provided in subparagraph (a) above and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Landlord shall have the right to alter the size and configuration of the Building in the course of such reconstruction, so long as the Building as reconstructed is an integrated architectural unit and the dimensions of the Demised Premises are substantially the same as prior to such casualty.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article, Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair any injury or damage by other cause to any leasehold improvements, fixtures or other personal property of Tenant, or to repair, reconstruct or restore the Demised Premises or any other part of the Building when the damage resulting from any casualty occurs during the last twenty-four months of the term of this Lease or any extension thereof.

(INITIALED: MO, KW)

25. EMINENT DOMAIN. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Building shall be taken or appropriated by any public or quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain, either party hereto shall have the right, at it’s option, within sixty (60) days after said taking, to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days written notice. If less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Building is taken (or if more than 25% is taken but neither party elects to terminate as herein provided), the Minimum Rent thereafter to be paid shall be equitably reduced. If any part of the Property other than the Building shall be so taken or appropriated, Landlord shall within sixty (60) days of said taking have the right at its option to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Tenant. In the event of any taking appropriation whatsoever, Landlord shall be entitled to any and all awards and/or settlements which may be given for the value of the property and Tenant shall be entitled to any award for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease and for its relocation expenses, or any award for any business loss of any kind whatsoever relating to the operation of the Tenant’s business.

26. SIGNS. Tenant may affix and maintain only such signs, advertising placards, names, insignia, trademarks and descriptive material to the premises without the consent of the Landlord. However, all signs must comply with all state and local building codes and Tenant shall acquire all permits required by any governmental agency necessary relating to signage on the Premise. The Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with the tenant in obtaining any required approvals/permits. Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, such signage and repair any damage to the Building fascia resulting from the installation and removal of Tenant’s sign shall remain on the Building unless Landlord requests Tenant to remove such signage, in which case Tenant shall remove such signage.

27. GUARANTY. All obligations of Tenant shall be guaranteed by the Guarantor pursuant to the form of Guaranty Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B. In addition, Tenant pledges, as additional security for the obligations of the Tenant under this Agreement, its Liquor License, issued by the State of Florida, and any and all necessary permits issued by the State of Florida. In the event of an uncured default, Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies of any secured party which are provided by law in the Liquor License and necessary permits. Landlord and Tenant agree to cooperate with one another to reasonably effectuate this guarantee.

28. ACCORD AND SATISFACTION. No payment by Tenant, nor receipt by Landlord, of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on an account of the earliest stipulated Rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check, or payment as Rent, be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord shall accept such check for payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy available to Landlord. Tenant expressly waives any right it may have to claim that any payment due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder, which payment is less than the full amount due to the Landlord or claimed by Landlord, shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction. This waiver of Tenant’s right to claim an accord and satisfaction shall be without regard to whether or not a dispute exists with regard to the amount claimed by Landlord. No payment by Tenant, nor receipt by Landlord, of a lesser amount than the full amount due pursuant to this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on an account of Tenant toward the amount claimed by Landlord, nor shall any letter or statement accompanying any such payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Tenant hereby waives its right to so claim.

29. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

(a) Waiver. The waiver by Landlord of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding default by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding default at the time of the acceptance of such rent.

(b) Marginal Headings. The marginal headings and titles to the articles of this Lease are not a part of the Lease and shall have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part hereof.

(d) Successors and Assigns. The covenants and conditions herein contained, subject to the provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind the heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of the parties hereto.

(e) Recordation. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall record this Lease, but a short form memorandum hereof may be recorded at the request of Landlord.

(f) Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Minimum Rent and scheduled Additional Rent due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Landlord by terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Demised Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of Rent due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within three (3) days after the due date, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) per month on the outstanding balance or $500, whatever is greater, plus any attorney fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s failure to pay Rent when due hereunder. The late fee shall be calculated and paid for every five (5) days that the rent due under this lease is late. The parties hereby agree that such late charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Landlord will incur by reason of the late payment of Tenant. Acceptance of such late charges by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.

(g) Prior Agreements. This Lease contains all of the Agreements of the parties hereto with respect to any matter covered or mentioned in this Lease, and no prior agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matters shall be effective for any purpose. No provision of this Lease may be amended or added to except by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto of their respective successors in interest. This Lease shall not be effective or binding on any party until fully executed by both parties hereto. All prior leases between Landlord and Tenant are hereby void.

(INITIALED: MO, KW)

(h) Partial Invalidity. Any provisions of this Lease which shall prove to be invalid, void, or illegal shall in no way effect, impair or invalidate any other provision hereof, and all such other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

(i) Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall, whenever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity.

(j) Choice of Law. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida.

(k) Attorney Fees. In the event any action or proceeding is brought by either party against the other under this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover for the fees of its attorneys in such action or proceeding, including costs of appeal, if any, such amount as the court may adjudge reasonable as attorney fees. In addition, should it be necessary for Landlord to employ legal counsel to enforce any of the provisions herein contained, tenant agrees to pay all attorney fees and court costs reasonably incurred.

(l) Sale of Demised Premises by Landlord. In the event of any sale of the Demised Premises by Landlord, Landlord shall be and is hereby entirely freed and relieved of all liability under any and all of its covenants and obligations contained in or derived from this Lease arising out of any act, occurrence or omission occurring after the consummation of such sale; and the purchaser, at such sale or any subsequent sale of the Premises, shall be deemed, without any further agreement between the parties or their successors in interest or between the parties and any such purchaser, to have assumed and agreed to carry out any and all of the covenants and obligations of Landlord under this Lease.

(m) Right of First Refusal. 1) Provided that Tenant is not in default under this Lease, Tenant shall have the absolute right to match any purchase agreement for the Premises that Landlord receives from any third party. In the event that Landlord receives an offer to purchase the Premises it shall provide written notice to Tenant of the purchase price, terms and conditions of said proposed sale (“Term Notice”). Tenant shall have a period of Fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Term Notice to notify Landlord that it desires to purchase the Premises in accordance with Term Notice (“Tenant’s Acceptance Notice”) and a initial down payment equal to Five (5%) percent of the purchase price, which shall be non-refundable. In the event that Tenant timely provides Tenant’s Acceptance Notice, the closing of the sale will take place no later than thirty (30) days after Tenant provides said Tenant’s Acceptance Notice. If Tenant fails to provide the Tenant’s Acceptance Notice or if, after providing Tenant’s Acceptance Notice, Tenant fails to close the transaction with said thirty (30) day period then any rights of Tenant to acquire the Premises shall cease and be of no further force or effect and Landlord shall have the right to sell to market and sell the Premises to a third party on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Landlord. 2) In the event that the Landlord desires to sell the Premise, it shall provide written notice to Tenant of the purchase price, terms and conditions of the price it would propose to sell said premise (“Offer Term Notice”).Tenant shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of the Offer Term Notice to notify Landlord that it desires to purchase the Premises in accordance with Offer Term Notice (“Tenant’s Offer Acceptance Notice”). In the event that Tenant timely provides Tenant’s Offer Acceptance Notice, the closing of the sale will take place no later than thirty (30) days after Tenant provides said Tenant’s Offer Acceptance Notice. If Tenant fails to provide the Tenant’s Offer Acceptance Notice or if, after providing Tenant’s Acceptance Notice, Tenant fails to close the transaction with said thirty (30) day period then any

(INITIALED: MO, KW)

	Landlord’s Initials	KW

	Tenant’s Initials	MO

rights of Tenant to acquire the Premises shall cease and be of no further force or effect and Landlord shall have the right to sell to market and sell the Premises to a third party on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Landlord, however, the Tenant shall have the right to match any offer received by Landlord from such persons, as provided in Section 1 of this paragraph. This provision shall not apply to a sale between the present shareholders of Landlord to one another or among their respective heirs, which will not trigger this right of first refusal, nor shall any gifts to the heirs of such owner. However the death of all present shareholders of Landlord will in fact trigger the Tenants right to acquire the property for Landlord for fair market value.

(n) Option to Purchase. Provided that the Tenant is not then in default under the terms of this Lease, then the Landlord grants Tenant the Option to Purchase the Premises at Fair Market Value, without accounting for the valuation of the lease between Landlord and Tenant, the value of the Premise based upon the fact that it possesses all permits necessary to operate an adult entertainment nightclub in the City of Hialeah, Florida, or the value of the property described on Exhibit A-1.

In order to exercise this Option, Tenant shall notify the Landlord, in writing, of its desire to exercise the Option which shall contain a proposed purchase price supported by a Real Estate Appraisal. If the Landlord agrees to the Purchase Price proposed by Tenant, then the closing shall occur within 60 days of the date that the Offer is received by the Landlord. Within 14 days of the Offer date, the Landlord shall notify Tenant whether it agrees to the Offer Price. If the Landlord does not agree to the Offer Price, then the Landlord shall, within 45 days of the receipt of the Offer, send a counter-proposal to Tenant, setting forth its proposed sale price, which sale price shall be supported by a Real Estate Appraisal. (“Counter-Offer”) If the Tenant agrees to the Purchase Price proposed by Landlord, then the closing shall occur within 60 days of the date that the Counter-Offer is received by the Tenant. If the Tenant does not accept the Counter-Offer, then the parties agree that the Purchase Price will be set by a third party real estate appraiser. This appraiser shall be selected by agreement of the Tenants Real Estate Appraiser and the Landlords Real Estate Appraiser, who shall independently appraise the Premise and set the purchase price. Such real estate appraisal shall be completed within 45 days of the date that the Real Estate Appraiser is selected by the Appraiser, who shall select an appraiser within 14 days of being notified that the Tenant has rejected the Landlord’s Counter-Offer. If the Appraisers cannot agree on a Third Party Real Estate Appraiser, then the Appraiser shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association. The Closing of the transaction shall occur within 30 days of the date that the Appraiser issues his Appraisal of the Premise.

Notwithstanding the above, the minimum purchase price shall be Two Million and 00/100 ($ 2,000,000.00).

This option may be exercised by Tenant during the first 37 months of the lease. Should the option not be exercised within the first 37 months of the lease, then the option shall expire. In order to exercise the Option, the Tenant shall notify the Landlord in writing as required for notice under the Lease and the closing shall occur as within 60 days thereafter or as soon thereafter as clear title may be give by Landlord.

(o) Subordination, Attornment. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant will in writing subordinate its rights hereunder to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust, to any bank, insurance company or other lending institution, now or hereafter in force against the Demised Premises, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof. In the

(INITIALED: MO, KW)

event any proceedings are brought for foreclosure, or in the event of the exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust made by Landlord covering the Demised Premises, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure or sale, and recognize such purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease. The provisions of this subparagraph to the contrary notwithstanding, and so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect for the full Lease Term hereof.

31. Notices. Except as set forth below, all notices to be given hereunder by either of the parties shall be in writing. Any notice may be served by Landlord upon Tenant personally by delivering the same to an employee of Tenant, or to Tenant directly. Any notice shall be deemed duly served by either party if addressed as set forth below and (i) deposited with the United States Postal Service as certified mail, return receipt requested, with proper postage prepaid, or (ii) deposited with FedEx or other reliable overnight courier for expedited delivery.
