XI. LIABILITY OF LANDLORD AND TENANT
11.1 Indemnification. Except to the extent caused by the negligence or misconduct
of Landlord or Landlord's agents, employees and/or assigns, Tenant will neither hold nor
attempt to hold Landlord liable for, and Tenant will indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from
and against, any and all demands, claims, causes of action, fines, penalties, damages, liabilities,
judgments, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in
connection with or arising from (i) the use or occupancy or manner of use or occupancy of the
Premises by Tenant; (ii) any activity, work or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or

claims, causes of action, fines, penalties, damages, liabilities, judgments, and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with or arising
from any breach, violation or nonperformance by Landlord of any term, covenant or provision of
this Lease or any law, ordinance or governmental requirement of any kind.
14
11.2 Survival. The covenants, agreements and indemnification obligations under this
Article XI will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. The covenants,
agreements and indemnification obligations are not intended to and will not relieve any
insurance carrier of its obligations under policies required to be carried by any party pursuant to
the provisions of this Lease.
XII. RULES AND REGULATIONS
To the extent not in conflict with the provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall at all times
abide by and observe the Rules and Regulations that may reasonably be promulgated from time
to time by Landlord (and delivered to Tenant) for the operation and maintenance of the Premises
and the Rules and Regulations shall be deemed to be covenants of the Lease to be performed
and/or observed by Tenant. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed to impose upon
Landlord any duty or obligation to enforce the Rules and Regulations, or the terms or provisions
contained in any other lease, against any other tenant of the Project. Landlord shall not be liable
to Tenant for any violation by any party of the Rules and Regulations or the terms of any other
Project lease. If there is any inconsistency between this Lease and the then current Rules and
Regulations, this Lease shall govern.
XIII. DAMAGE; CONDEMNATION
13.1 Condemnation. Upon condemnation of any portion of the Premises by a
governmental agency, this Lease shall terminate upon the title of the property vesting in the
governmental agency, unless, however, there was a partial condemnation of the Premises. In
which case, to the extent the parties mutually agree that the Project can continue to substantially
exist on the Premises, this Lease shall continue for the remaining portion of the Premises not
subject to the condemnation, with an equitable abatement/adjustment of rent. Tenant shall have
no claim against Landlord (or otherwise) as a result of such taking, and Tenant hereby agrees to
make no claim against the condemning authority for any portion of the amount that may be
awarded as compensation or damages as a result of such taking; provided, however, that Tenant
may, to the extent allowed by law, claim an award for moving expenses and for the taking of any
of Tenant's property (other than its leasehold interest in the Premises) which does not, under the
terms of this Lease, become the property of Landlord at the termination hereof, as long as such
claim is separate and distinct from any claim of Landlord and does not diminish Landlord's
award. Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any right and interest it may have in any award for its
leasehold interest in the Premises that is subject to the condemnation. This paragraph shall not
apply if the condemning government agency is the City of Palm Coast.
XIV. DEFAULT OF TENANT
14.1 Events of Tenant Default. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of
Default: (i) Tenant fails to observe or perform any other term, condition or covenant herein
binding upon or obligating Tenant within 10 days after receipt of written notice from Landlord;
provided, however, that if Landlord reasonably determines that such failure cannot be cured
within said 10-day period, then Landlord may in its reasonable discretion extend the period to
cure the default for up to an additional 20 days provided Tenant has commenced to cure the
default within the 10-day period and diligently pursues such cure to completion (notwithstanding
15
the foregoing, if Landlord provides Tenant with notice of Tenant’s failure to observe or perform
any term, condition or covenant under this Subsection (i) on 2 or more occasions during any 12
month period, then Tenant’s subsequent violation shall, at Landlord’s option, be deemed an Event
of Default immediately upon the occurrence of such failure, regardless of whether Landlord
provides Tenant notice, or Tenant has commenced the cure of the same); (ii) Tenant fails to
substantially complete construction of the Project by the deadline established in this Lease; (iii)
Tenant abandons or discontinues operating a soccer training facility on the Premises; (iv) Tenant
fails to immediately remedy or discontinue any hazardous conditions which Tenant has created or
permitted in violation of law or of this Lease; (v) Tenant is declared or adjudicated bankrupt; and
(vi) Tenant fails to maintain the playing fields in accordance with the standards set forth in
Section 5.1 of this Lease. Any notice periods provided for under this Section 14.1 shall run
concurrently with any statutory notice periods and any notice given hereunder may be given
simultaneously with or incorporated into any such statutory notice.
14.2 Landlord's Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord, at
its option, without further notice or demand to Tenant, may, in addition to all other rights and
remedies provided in this Lease, at law or in equity, elect to terminate this Lease, and retake
possession of the Premises.
14.3 Events of Landlord Default. Landlord fails to observe or perform any term,
condition or covenant herein binding upon or obligating Landlord within 10 days after receipt of
written notice from Tenant; provided, however, that if Tenant reasonably determines that such
failure cannot be cured within said 10-day period, then Tenant may in its reasonable discretion
extend the period to cure the default for up to an additional 20 days provided Landlord has
commenced to cure the default within the 10-day period and diligently pursues such cure to
completion.
14.4 Tenant's Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Landlord Default,
Tenant, at its option, without further notice or demand to Landlord, may, in addition to all other
rights and remedies provided in this Lease, at law or in equity, elect to terminate this Lease and
receive a refund of any prepaid rent, or remedy the default and deduct the cost of the same from
all funds otherwise due from Tenant to Landlord under the Lease.
XV. SURRENDER
Tenant shall peaceably surrender the Premises to Landlord on the Expiration Date or
earlier termination of this Lease, in good condition including, without limitation, the repair of
any damage to the Premises caused by the removal of any of Tenant's personal property or trade
fixtures from the Premises, except for reasonable wear and tear and loss by fire or other casualty.
All permanent Tenant improvements including, but not limited to, those affixed to the ground
shall become the property of Landlord upon the Expiration Date unless the expiration is a result
of the Tenant closing on the Premises in accordance with Paragraph 3.4 of this Lease. In
addition, all trade fixtures, equipment, furniture, inventory, effects and Alterations left on or in
the Premises or the Project after the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Lease will be
deemed conclusively to have been abandoned and may be appropriated, removed, sold, stored,
16
destroyed or otherwise disposed of by Landlord without notice to Tenant or any other person and
without obligation to account for them; and Tenant will pay Landlord for all expenses incurred in
connection with the same, including, but not limited to, the costs of repairing any damage to the
Premises or the Project caused by the removal of such property. Tenant's obligation to observe
and perform this covenant will survive the expiration or other termination of this Lease.
XVI. QUIET ENJOYMENT
Landlord covenants that it has good and marketable title to the Premises, and that if
Tenant performs all of the terms and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, Tenant
shall during the Term peaceably and quietly occupy and enjoy possession of the Premises
without molestation or hindrance by Landlord or any party claiming through or under Landlord,
subject to the provisions of this Lease and any restrictions or encumbrances to which this Lease
is subordinate.
