ARTICLE 7 - CASUALTY AND INSURANCE

 

7.1          Substantial Destruction.  If (i) the Leased Premises or the Building should be destroyed by fire or other casualty, or (ii) the Leased Premises or the Building should be damaged so that rebuilding cannot reasonably be completed substantially within ninety (90) days after Landlord’s receipt of written notification by Tenant of the destruction, or (iii) the Building shall be so damaged as to render it unsuitable for use as a medical office building comparable to the use to which the Building was being put prior to the casualty and such damage cannot be repaired and the Building restored to such use within ninety (90) days from the date of the casualty, then, at Tenant’s option, this Lease may be terminated and, in such event, the rent shall be abated for the unexpired portion of the Lease, effective as of the date of the destruction or damage.

 

7.2          Partial Destruction.  If following damage or destruction to the Leased Premises or Building by fire or other casualty, this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence to rebuild or repair the Building, Leased Premises and other improvements to substantially the same conditions in which they existed prior to the damage.  If Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises or the conduct of its business is impaired due to the damage, whether or not the Leased Premises are themselves damaged, the rent payable under this Lease during the period of impairment shall be equitably reduced based on the degree to which Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Leased Premises are impaired.  Landlord’s obligation to rebuild or restore under this Section shall be limited to restoring the Leased Premises and Building to substantially the condition in which the same existed prior to the casualty, exclusive of improvements for which Tenant is responsible under the terms of this Lease, and Tenant shall, promptly after the completion of such work by Landlord, proceed with reasonable diligence and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense to restore those improvements for which Tenant is responsible under the Lease to substantially the condition in which the same existed prior to the casualty and to otherwise make the Leased Premises suitable for Tenant’s use.  If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 7.1 above, and if Landlord fails to substantially complete the necessary repairs or rebuilding within ninety (90) days from the date of Landlord’s receipt of written notification by Tenant of the destruction, Tenant may at its option terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to Landlord, whereupon all rights and obligations under this Lease shall cease.

 

7.3          Property Insurance.  Landlord shall at all times during the term of this Lease insure the Property against risk of physical loss under standard fire and extended coverage policies of insurance in an amount at least equal to the full replacement cost of the Building.  Landlord shall not be obligated to insure any personal property of Tenant upon or within the Leased Premises, any fixtures installed or paid for by Tenant upon or within the Leased Premises, or any improvements which Tenant may construct on the Leased Premises.  Tenant shall have no right in or claim to the proceeds of any policy of insurance maintained by Landlord.  Tenant at all times during the term of this Lease shall, at its own expense, keep in full force and effect such insurance on its property against fire and such other risks as Tenant deems appropriate, using “blanket” insurance coverage if it so desires.

 

7.4          Waiver of Subrogation.  Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord and Tenant hereby waive and release each other of and from any and all right of

 

5



 

recovery, claim, action or cause of action, against each other, their agents, officers and employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the Leased Premises, improvements to the Property, or personal property within the Property, by reason of fire or the elements, regardless of cause or origin, including negligence of Landlord or Tenant and their agents, officers and employees.   Landlord and Tenant agree immediately to give their respective insurance companies written notice of the terms of the mutual waivers contained in this Section, and to have the insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of the insurance coverages by reason of the mutual waivers.

 

7.5          Hold Harmless.  Tenant hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Landlord harmless from and against all liability, damages, costs and expenses from causes of action, suits, claims, demands and judgments of any nature whatsoever caused by the use and occupancy of the Premises by Tenant, its invitees, officers or agents, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees, or Landlord’s breach of this Lease.  Landlord hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Tenant harmless from and against all liability, damages, costs and expenses from causes of action, suits, claims, demands and judgments of any nature whatsoever caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees, or Landlord’s breach of this Lease.

 

7.6          Liability Insurance.  Landlord and Tenant at all times during the Lease term shall each, at its own expense, keep in full force and effect comprehensive general liability insurance with “personal injury” coverage, with minimum limits of $1,000,000.00 on account of bodily injuries to, or death of, one or more than one person as the result of any one accident or occurrence and $500,000,00 on account of damage to property.  All insurance policies or duly executed certificates for the same required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease, together with satisfactory evidence of the payment of the premium thereof, shall be deposited with Landlord on the date Tenant first occupies the Leased Premises and upon renewals of such policies not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the term of such coverage.  All insurance required to be carried by Tenant or Landlord under this Lease shall be in form and content, and written by insurers acceptable to the other party in its reasonable discretion.  If either Landlord or Tenant shall fail to comply with any of the requirements contained in this Lease relating to insurance, the other party may obtain such insurance and the non-complying party shall pay to the other party, on demand, the premium cost thereof.

 

ARTICLE 8 - CONDEMNATION

 

8.1          Substantial Taking.  If (i) all of the Property or Leased Premises is taken for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof (a “taking”), or (ii) in the reasonable determination of Tenant a taking of the Leased Premises or other portion of the Property (including parking areas) occurs which would prevent or materially interfere for more than ninety (90) days with the use of the Leased Premises for the purposes for which they are then being used, this Lease shall, at the option of Tenant, terminate, and the rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of this Lease effective on the date physical possession is taken by the condemning authority.

 

6



 

8.2          Partial Taking.  If this Lease is not terminated as provided in Section 8.1 above, Landlord shall restore and reconstruct the Property, Leased Premises and other improvements on the Leased Premises, to the greatest degree practicable, to the condition existing prior to the taking.  The rent payable under this Lease during the unexpired portion of the term shall be reduced by a percentage equal to the percentage of the Leased Premises that are untenantable following such taking; provided, however, that if the taking affects a portion of the Leased Premises in a way that substantially impairs the ability of Tenant to provide medical services to the general public from the Leased Premises, then the Tenant shall at its option be entitled to terminate this Lease whereupon all rights and obligations under this Lease shall terminate.

 

8.3          Condemnation Proceeds.  All compensation awarded for any taking (or the proceeds of private sale in lieu thereof), whether for the whole or a part of the Leased Premises, shall be the property of Landlord (whether such award is compensation for damages to Landlord’s or Tenant’s interest in the Leased Premises), and Tenant hereby assigns all of its interest in any such award to Landlord; provided, however, Landlord shall have no interest in any award made to Tenant for loss of business or for taking of Tenant’s fixtures and other property within the Leased Premises if a separate award for such items is made to Tenant.

 

ARTICLE 9 - ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE

 

9.1          Assignment; Sublease.

EXHIBIT “C”

 

RENEWAL OPTION

 

This Exhibit is attached to and forms a part of the Lease dated October 1, 1999, between U.S. Cancer Care Acquisition Corp., a Florida corporation, as Tenant, and 6th City Landowners, as Landlord, covering the Leased Premises in the building commonly known as  Orange Park Cancer Center in Orange Park, Florida (“the Lease”).  The terms used and not otherwise defined in this Exhibit shall have the same definitions as set forth in the Lease.  The provisions of this Exhibit shall prevail over any inconsistent or conflicting provisions of the Lease.

 

1.             Provided the Lease is still in full force and effect and there is no uncured event of default by Tenant under the Lease, Tenant shall have the right and option to renew the Lease for four (4) consecutive additional one (1) year terms (each such term being hereinafter called a “Renewal Term”), on the following terms and conditions:

 

(a)           Tenant shall exercise the right and option to renew the term of this Lease by giving Landlord written notice thereof prior to the expiration of the primary term or any Renewal Term, as applicable.

 

(b)           The Rent during each Renewal Term shall be determined as set forth below.  The Rent shall be adjusted on the first day of the Renewal Term (the “Rental Adjustment Date”) to the “fair rental value” of the Leased Premises.

 

(c)           For the purposes of such appraisal, the term “fair rental value” shall mean the price that a ready and willing tenant would pay, as of the Rental Adjustment Date, as monthly rent to a ready and willing landlord of property comparable to the Leased Premises if such property were exposed for lease on the open market for a reasonable period of time and taking into account all of the purposes for which such property may be used as provided in the Lease.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant objects to the determination of the new base rent, as determined above, then Tenant shall have the right to rescind its prior notice to Landlord exercising the right and option to renew this Lease by giving Landlord written notice of such rescission within 15 days after Tenant receives notice of the final determination thereof and the term of the Lease shall expire as if Tenant had not exercised such right and option to renew the term of this Lease.

 

(e)           The leasing of the Leased Premises by Landlord to Tenant during a Renewal Term shall be upon all terms and conditions set forth in the Lease, except as expressly modified by this Exhibit.  Either party, if requested by the other, agrees to execute a new lease for each Renewal Term on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Lease, except as modified with respect to the base rent in accordance with the terms of this Exhibit.
