SPACE LEASE AGREEMENT

THIS SPACE LEASE AGREEMENT  (“Lease”) is entered into as of the effective date of the Customer Service Order (“CSO”) that this Lease is a part of between SMART CITY® SOLUTIONS II, LLC, a Florida limited liability company doing business Smart City Metro (“SMART CITY METRO”), and CUSTOMER who shall be more fully described in the CSO (“CUSTOMER”).

WHEREAS, Smart City Metro is lessee of certain space in a building located at 1101 No. Keller Road, Suite B, Orlando, Florida 32810 (the “Facility”); and

WHEREAS, CUSTOMER desires to obtain consent from SMART CITY METRO, and SMART CITY METRO hereby agrees to permit CUSTOMER to locate, operate, maintain, repair and replace certain personal property of CUSTOMER more particularly described in the CSO that this Lease is a part of (“CUSTOMER Property”) at the Facility subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.  Any changes to the CUSTOMER Property must be provided in advance in writing to SMART CITY METRO and revision of such will be considered the accepted and incorporated description of  CUSTOMER Property located at the Facility.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, SMART CITY METRO and CUSTOMER agree as follows:

1. RESTRICTED USE BY CUSTOMER. On and subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease, the CSO and MSA that this Lease is a part of, SMART CITY METRO hereby grants CUSTOMER the right to occupy and to place, install, operate, maintain, repair, and replace the CUSTOMER Property in that certain portion of Suite B of the Facility (the “Space”); provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall obligate SMART CITY METRO to provide any specific portion of, or additional space, within the Facility to CUSTOMER.  SMART CITY METRO reserves the right to place CUSTOMER Property in any rack and/or cabinet of its choosing within the Space. The provision of the Space shall be on terms, provisions and conditions in the sole and exclusive discretion of SMART CITY METRO, and which may therefore vary from the terms, provisions and conditions set forth herein.  The Space shall be accepted by CUSTOMER in the “AS-IS” condition.  CUSTOMER may use the Space only for the purposes of installing, maintaining, operating, repairing and replacing the CUSTOMER Property in connection with the provision by CUSTOMER or its Affiliates (as hereinafter defined) of communications services.
2. NO REAL PROPERTY INTEREST. CUSTOMER acknowledges that it has been granted only the right to occupy the Space subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and that it has no real property interests in the Space or the Facility.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, CUSTOMER acknowledges and agrees that it does not have any leasehold or other tenancy in the Space or the Facility or any right to occupy or use any part of the same other than for the limited purposes set forth in Section 1 of this Lease.  Nothing contained in this Lease shall in any way be construed (i) to limit SMART CITY METRO’s right to maintain and operate its own facilities in the Facility as SMART CITY METRO shall determine in its sole discretion or (ii) to limit or restrict SMART CITY METRO in any way with respect to any agreement or arrangement which SMART CITY METRO has heretofore entered into, or may hereafter enter into, with any third party.
3. ASSIGNMENT/SUBLETTING.

4. TERM. The term of this Lease shall be reflected on the CSO which this Lease is a part of.  The termination of this Agreement, with or without cause, shall not relieve either party of any obligations incurred prior to termination or those obligations which by their nature survive the termination of this Agreement including, but not limited to, those set forth in Section 5 below and other sections of this Agreement which specifically survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.
5. RELOCATION OF CUSTOMER’S PROPERTY. SMART CITY METRO reserves the right in its sole discretion to require CUSTOMER Property to be relocated to another portion of the Facility.  SMART CITY METRO shall provide 30 days prior written notice to CUSTOMER to relocate CUSTOMER Property.  The notification of relocation provided by SMART CITY METRO shall provide CUSTOMER information regarding the new location within the Facility (the “Relocation Space”).  CUSTOMER shall move all of the CUSTOMER Property to the Relocation Space at the sole cost and expense of CUSTOMER and shall repair any damage to the Facility resulting from the move from the Space to the Relocation Space.  SMART CITY METRO reserves the right to move CUSTOMER Property from the Space to the Relocation Space if CUSTOMER has failed to comply with the relocation after the 30^th day from CUSTOMER’s receipt of notification.  SMART CITY METRO shall not be liable for any damages or inoperable network services that may occur during the relocation of CUSTOMER Property whether performed by SMART CITY METRO or CUSTOMER.   If relocation is performed by SMART CITY METRO on behalf of CUSTOMER, then CUSTOMER shall be charged SMART CITY METRO’s then current applicable hourly rate for relocation performed during SMART CITY METRO’s business hours, and SMART CITY METRO’s then current applicable hourly rate for relocation performed during SMART CITY METRO’s non-business hours.

 

6. REMOVAL OF CUSTOMER’S_PROPERTY.

(a)  Upon expiration or termination of this Lease, CUSTOMER or the applicable vendor will have 30 days to remove the CUSTOMER Property at the sole cost and expense of CUSTOMER, provided that CUSTOMER is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms or conditions of this Lease beyond any applicable cure period at such time.  CUSTOMER shall repair any damage to the Facility resulting from such removal.

• Any items of CUSTOMER Property which shall remain in the Facility more than 30 days after expiration or termination of this Lease may, at the option of SMART CITY METRO exercised at any time after not less than 10 days’ notice to CUSTOMER, be deemed to have been abandoned; and, subject to any third-party rights in such item, in such case may either be retained by SMART CITY METRO as its property or may be disposed of, without accountability, in such manner as SMART CITY METRO may see fit at CUSTOMER’s expense. CUSTOMER hereby waives any claims to such abandoned CUSTOMER Property.
• CUSTOMER agrees to indemnify and hold SMART CITY METRO harmless against all claims, liabilities, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) asserted against or incurred by SMART CITY METRO in connection with or arising out of the removals set forth in Section 6(a) or 6(b) above.
