42,615 square feet of land located at 701 North Missouri Avenue, Clearwater, Pinellas County,
Florida, and being more specifically described as follows:

Plat Book 20, Page 64, Public Records of Pinellas County, Florida
Such property shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Leased Premises" or the "Demised
Premises" or the "Leased Property."
1. LEASE TERM.
In order to coincide with the Lessee's grant cycle, the term of this lease shall be one prorated
year commencing on the day following approval and execution by the Clearwater City Council,
(expected approval date to be April 4, 2019) and ending December 31, 2019, and four (4) full years
continuing until midnight on the 31st day of December, 2023 (herein called the "Initial Term"). The
Parties shall have the option to extend the term of this lease for one successive period of five (5)
years (the "Extended Term") by written agreement. Letter correspondence or email shall be sufficient
as a written agreement for these purposes. No such renewal or extension shall be deemed a waiver
by Lessor of any breach or default which may then exist. The extended term shall be upon the same
conditions and terms, and the rent shall be determined and payable, as provided in this agreement,
except that there shall be no privilege to extend the term beyond the expiration of the Extended Term
period as hereinabove specified. The Lessee shall exercise the option to extend the term by notifying
the Lessor in writing at least two (2) calendar months prior to the expiration of the then current term.
Upon such exercise, the Lessor shall notify the Lessee as to whether it agrees to an extension, and if
Lessor does agree, this Lease shall be extended without the execution of any further lease or other
instrument. Failure to exercise the option as required herein shall nullify the option for the extended
term.
2. RENT.
The Lessee agrees to pay and the Lessor agrees to accept as rent during the initial term, and
any extended term of this lease, the sum of One and 00/100 Dollars ($1.00), and other good and
valuable consideration, including but not limited to, benefits inuring to the children of Clearwater, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged.
3. USE OF PREMISES.
The premises are leased to Lessee solely for the following uses and no other use can be
made of the premises during the term without the written consent of the Lessor: The premises will be
used as a Preschool Nursery to be conducted, operated and supervised by Lessee under terms and
conditions consistent with the Head Start/Early Head Start Program as established by the United
States Department of Health and Human Services. In addition to the use above described, Lessee
agrees that it will maintain, on a portion of the leased premises, children's playground equipment in
proper order and good repair, providing only that Lessee may make reasonable rules and regulations
concerning the persons who may use it and the times and manner in which it shall be used.
4. UTILITIES.
Water, sewer, electric and all other utilities of any kind shall be billed directly to Lessee and are
or shall be individually metered for the subject premises. All deposits for such utilities shall be the
sole responsibility of Lessee.
5. TAXES.
If any ad valorem taxes, intangible property taxes, personal property taxes, or other liens or
taxes of any kind are assessed or levied lawfully on the Leased Property, based on the Lessee's use
of the Leased Property during the term of this lease, the Lessee agrees to pay all such taxes,
assessments or liens, within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice from the Lessor or written
notice from the applicable taxing authority, whichever is earlier. In the event the Lessee fails to pay
all such taxes assessed or levied on the Property within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice,
the Lessor may, at its sole option, pay such taxes, liens, or assessments, which shall become
additional rent hereunder, and Lessee shall immediately reimburse Lessor together with any interest,
calculated at the maximum rate allowed by law, and any administrative costs incurred by the Lessor.
Failure of the Lessee to pay any taxes or assessments pursuant to this paragraph will constitute a
material default of this Lease.
6. OBSERVANCE OF LAWS AND ORDINANCES.
Lessee agrees to observe, comply with and execute promptly at its expense during the term
hereof, all laws, rules, requirements, orders, directives, codes, ordinances and regulations of
governmental authorities and agencies and of insurance carriers which relate to its use or occupancy
of the demised premises.
7. ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE.
Lessee shall not, without first obtaining the written consent of Lessor, assign, mortgage,
pledge, or encumber this lease, in whole or in part, or sublet the premises or any part thereof. Lessor
expressly covenants that such consent to sublet shall not be unreasonably or arbitrarily refused. This
covenant shall be binding on the legal representatives of Lessee, and on every person to whom
Lessee's interest under this lease passes by operation of law, but it shall not apply to an assignment
RE19-1313-120/229891/1 Page 2 of 10
or subletting to the parent or subsidiary of a corporate lessee or to a transfer of the leasehold interest
occasioned by a consolidation or merger involving such lessee.
If the premises are sublet or occupied by anyone other than Lessee, and Lessee is in default
hereunder, or if this lease is assigned by Lessee, Lessor may collect rent from the assignee,
subtenant, or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved. No such
collection shall be deemed a waiver of the covenant herein against assignment and subletting, or the
acceptance of such assignee, subtenant, or occupant as Lessee, or a release of Lessee from further
performance of the covenants herein contained.
8. ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS.
The Lessee shall not make any structural alterations or modifications or improvements which
are part of the leased property without the written consent of the Lessor, and any such modifications
or additions to said property shall become the property of the Lessor upon the termination of this
lease or, at Lessor's option, the Lessee shall restore the leased property at Lessee's expense to its
original condition. The restrictions of this paragraph shall not apply to maintenance of the leased
property, but shall apply to any change which changes the architecture or purpose of the property or
which changes any of the interior walls of the improvements or which annexes a fixture to any part of
the leased property which cannot be removed without damage thereto. In the event Lessee desires
to make any alterations or modifications, written notice shall be given to the Lessor. Unless the
Lessor objects to such proposals by notice to Lessee within twenty (20) days after receiving written
notice from Lessee (day of receipt inclusive), the proposal shall be deemed approved. Lessee shall
have no power or authority to permit mechanics' or materialmen's liens to be placed upon the leased
property in connection with maintenance, alterations or modifications. Lessee shall, within fifteen (15)
days after notice from Lessor, discharge any mechanic's liens for materials or labor claimed to have
been furnished to the premises on Lessee's behalf. Not later than the last day of the term Lessee
shall, at Lessee's expense, remove all of Lessee's personal property and those improvements made
by Lessee which have not become the property of Lessor, including trade fixtures and the like. All
property remaining on the premises after the last day of the term of this lease shall be conclusively
deemed abandoned and may be removed by Lessor and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for the cost
of such removal. It is contemplated by the parties that Lessee will install portable classrooms on the
Premises which will not violate the above restrictions as to alterations and improvements. Said
portable classrooms are and will remain the property of the Lessee. Should the installation of the
portable classrooms alter the premises as described above, Lessee shall follow the above provisions
as to notice, approval and removal without damage to Lessor's property.
9. RISK OF LOSS.
All personal property placed or moved in the premises shall be at the risk of the Lessee or
owner thereof. The Lessor shall not be responsible or liable to the Lessee for any loss or damage
that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of persons occupying adjoining premises
or any part of the premises adjacent to or connected with the premises hereby leased or any part of
the building which the leased premises are a part of or any loss or damage resulting to the Lessee or
its property from bursting, stopped up or leaking water, gas, sewer or steam pipes unless the same is

use by Lessee. Lessee's acceptance or occupancy of the leased premises shall constitute a
recognition of such condition. Lessee hereby accepts the premises in the condition they are in at the
beginning of this lease and agrees to maintain said premises in the same condition, order and repair
as they are at the commencement of said term, and to return the premises to their original condition
at the expiration of the term, excepting only reasonable wear and tear arising from the use thereof

RE19-1313-120/229891/1 Page 5 of 10
have incurred in connection with the recovery of possession, reduction, refurbishing or otherwise
changing or preparing for reletting, including brokerage and reasonable attorneys fees. Thereafter, it
shall be applied to the payment of damages and to the cost and expenses of performance of the
other covenants of Lessee as provided herein; or (ii) the Lessor may, at its option, terminate this
lease by giving the Lessee fifteen (15) days' written notice of such intention served upon the Lessee
or left upon the leased property, and the term hereof shall absolutely expire and terminate
immediately upon the expiration of said fifteen (15) day period.

any or all of the following events: an assignment by Lessee for the benefit of creditors; or the filing of
a voluntary or involuntary petition by or against Lessee under any law for the purpose of adjudicating
Lessee bankrupt; or for reorganization, dissolution, or arrangement on account of or to prevent
bankruptcy or insolvency; or the appointment of a receiver of the assets of Lessee; or the bankruptcy
of the Lessee. Each of the foregoing events shall constitute a default by Lessee and breach of this
lease.

Leased Premises are required for any other municipal purposes by giving ninety (90) days written
notice of such intended use, following which this Lease shall terminate in every respect, and both

constitute sufficient notice to the Lessor, to comply with the terms of this contract.

the Lessor to exercise promptly any rights given hereunder shall not operate to forfeit any of the said
rights.

equal to five percent (5%) of such overdue amount. The Lessor shall not be required to accept any
sum not paid within five (5) days subsequent of the date when due absent the simultaneous payment
