Said interest shall be calculated on a daily basis and shall be due and payable when billed. In the event of the Tenant's breach of any of the provisions of this Lease, the Landlord shall thereupon have a lien upon all revenues, income, rents, earnings and profits from the leased premises as additional security to the Landlord for the Tenant's faithful performance of each of the terms and provisions hereof, and to secure payment of all sums owing to the Landlord hereunder. Such liens shall be superior in dignity to the rights of the Tenant and any of its creditors or assignees or any trustee or receiver appointed for the Tenant's property, or any other person claiming under the Tenant. Upon the Landlord's termination of the Tenant's rights under this Lease by reason of the Tenant's default, all such revenues, income, rents, earnings and profits derived or accruing from the leased premises from the date of such termination by the Landlord shall constitute the property of the Landlord, and the same is hereby declared to be a trust fund for the exclusive benefit of the Landlord and shall not constitute any asset of the 16 � \.J Tenant or any trustee or receiver appointed for the Tenant's property. The provisions of this paragraph shall be effective without the Landlord's re-entry upon the leased premises or repossession thereof, and without any judicial determination that the Tenant's interest under said lease has been terminated. The Tenant acknowledges that the Landlord is required by law to operate under an Airport Master Plan and the Tenant covenants that he will use the leased premises consistent with the Airport Master Plan.

Moore, III, Esq. 5070 Highway A 1 A Vero Beach, FL 32963 Re: LoPresti Airport Lease Dear John: TELEPHONE (772) 388-8201 FAX (772) 388-4420 March 28, 2008 I can appreciate the concerns you have raised as to certain terms within the Airport Lease between your client and the City. While there could indeed be draconian results from literal interpretations of some of this language, I believe the intent was actually quite innocuous. Paragraph 2, which refers to release of leased land needed for "actual improvements to the Airport", is related to infrastructure for the functional operations of the facility. Since your client is leasing finished space within structures, it is difficult to imagine a scenario where this will come into play. Along a similar line, the eminent domain provision of Paragraph. 19 has little practical effect. First of all, I am not certain that an agency can condemn itself out of its own contract without a"bad faith" claim and, since the LoPresti lease is already classified as an"aviation use", I believe it would require an actual infrastructure improvement related to operations to be considered a higher public necessity justifying the use of eminent domain. This provision would appear to only have effect if another agency tried to exercise eminent domain over airport property and since only the federal government would have this authority, they would act under the express authority of the reserved interest clause of their original deed to the City. In fact, the reserved right of the federal government to reclaim the airport is at the heart of Paragraph 18. Most public airports in the country were originally World War II facilities that were deeded over to local governments following the end of hostilities. Virtually all of them have a reverter that allows the federal government to seize the facility if needed in time of national emergency (which the feds had an inherent right to do anyway). • � The provision that I understand to be of greatest concern, however, is Paragraph 16. It would appear that the City could rezone the property to a use incompatible with that of your client, and then cancel the lease. There are a number of subsumed factors that mitigate this harsh result. The provision is a standard clause of our leases that is tailored towards non-aviation uses. Otherwise, as discussed previously, this provision would seem to generally apply to the exercise of authority by another agency. Foremost, the FAA considers your client's operations to be an aviation use and, under the terms of our deed and the regulations of the FAA, the City would never be allowed to rezone/regulate the property in a way that would make it incompatible. In addition, in several instances, we have used the term `may' with regard to the City's potential ability to terminate the lease in those circumstances in which a fundamental failure of the lease agreement would exist, such as following condemnation. It is our view that the term `may' is permissive in that the use of the term confirms that City officials have, by virtue of Council approval of the form of lease, received approval to terminate the lease in the event of a fundamental failure. I hope this alleviates the concerns about these standard provisions. Since LoPresti is considered by the FAA to be an aviation use, it is laxgely an academic exercise. Let me know if there are any remaining issues in the execution of the agreement package. Respectfully, - �� , ��- --� �oC. Rich Stringer City Attorney
