and H&M Gables Investors, LLC ("Lessee") of the land more
particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto, consisting of
an approximate 1 acre site in: the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida
(the "Property")
Dear Mr. Ottinot:
We have been discussing the prospective lease of the Property. This Letter of
Intent sets forth a proposed l.mderstanding in principal between the Lessor andthe Lessee
with respect to the tern1S of the Lease and certain other matters.
1. Use of the Property. The Lessee shall use the Property for the constnlction,
development and. operation of an aquarillID and related facilities including but not
limited to, a restaurant, food, gift concessions, meeting rooms and party facilities
(the "Aquarium"). The Aquarium will be open to the public and will be used to
promote tourism for the City of Sunny Isles Beach.
2. Construction. The Lessee shall be responsible for the construction of the
Aquarium at its own cost and expense.
3. Lease Term. The term of the Lease shall be for 99 years.
4. Rent.
a) For the first four years of the Lease no rent shall be payable.
b) Thereafter, the Base Rent shall be $324,000 per year. Every fifth year of
the Lease, the Base Rent shall be adjusted by an amount based on the
Consumer Price Index Increase over the base year. The base year shall be
the fifth year of the Lease term.
9096504.1
c) In addition to Base Rent, the Lessee shall pay the Lessor Percentage Rent
equal to 4% of the gross sales from the Aquarium, less the amount of the
Base Rent.
d) All rent shall be paid in quarter annual installments.
5. Real Estate Taxes. The Lease shall provide that the Lessee shall not be
responsible for the payment of any real estate taxes for the Property or any
improvements thereon, unless required by the law of the State of Florida. The
Lessor shall cooperate with the Lessee in any negotiations or request or
application to exempt the Property and any improvements thereon from the
payment of real estate taxes.
6. Parking. The Lessor shall build an adjacent parking structure at Lessor's sole cost
and expense and provide adequate parking for the Aquarium. The Lessor may
charge visitors to the Aquarium a reasonable charge for parking which is
consistent with parking charges in the City of Sunny Isles Beach.
7. Subleases Concession. The Lessee shall be permitted to sublease and/or grant
concessions for the use of portions of the improvements for uses related to the
Aquarium and all income derived therefrom shall be retained by the Lessee.
8. Modifications to Improvements. The Lessee shall be permitted to modify and
renovate any improvements so long as such improvements or modifications do
not impair the value of the Aquarium and such modifications and improvements
are consistent with the principal use of an aquarium.
9. Approval of Sale. Any sale of the Aquarium by the Lessee shall require the
approval of the buyer by the Lessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
This letter of intent is merely an expression of the parties' intent and nothing
herein shall be binding upon the parties unless and until a formal lease agreement is
executed between the parties.
We look forward with great enthusiasm to this wonderful project.

Michael Seal of West Construction, and Tito Porrata of Team Pain State Parks reported and
presented renderings of the proposed Park, and said they should have the Park completed by
the end of June.
Mayor Edelcup noted that this Park will be in the back section of Town Center Park where
the Easter Egg Hunt is usually held which will now go to Pelican Community Park. Mayor
Ede1cup asked about covering the Park, and City Manager Conner said there will be a
covering built over the Park which will include lighting and it will also buffer the noise.
However, this will be a separate project/cost and is estimated to be between $120,000 and
$150,000, and will be included in next year's budget. Commissioner Scholl said to do a
differential on how much it will cost to do the cover and lighting, and what it will cost to
mount the lighting on poles. It was noted that the Commission will be touring different
skateboard parks. It was the consensus of the Commission for the City Manager to do the
research and perhaps we can combine doing the park and the cover.

Action: Vice Mayor Thaler reported, and introduced Arthur H. Hertz, CEO of the Miami

Public Speakers: Arthur H. Hertz; Eduardo Castifieira
Mr. Hertz introduced Eduardo Castiiieira, Architect President/CEO ofAxiorna3Architects,
who handed out a booklet of renderings of the proposed project entitled "W ometco Aquatic
Center, City of Smmy Isles Beach Town Center", and he presented each of the renderings.
He noted that it is located across from St. Tropez, in between Srumy Isles Boulevard East and
West and bordering on Collins Avenue. He presented a five-level site plan including a
parking garage, restaurants, shops, banquet halls, a three-story aquarium including a portion
where stingrays may be petted, etc. The garage can accommodate 140 to 150 cars, and the
two banquet halls can easily accommodate 1,000 people. The Commission was very pleased
with this proposal, and Mayor Ede1cup noted that this project meets the Comp Plan for
pedestrian friendly, it is an educational process, family-oriented, includes banquet halls, and
is very unique to all of South Florida. It would take over a portion of what the City has
already acquired, and there is still an area to the west of that, and maybe combine ideas to
fully develop the entire site so that we have an integrated project. Vice Mayor Thaler asked
what the next step would be for the City, and Mr. Hertz said this was the first step, and now
we will work on the financing portion which will take some time.
After discussion it was the consensus of the Commission.to move forward with this project
and instructed staff to work with Mr. Hertz.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 15,2010
TO:
FROM: Hans Ottinot, City Attorne
RE: Approving a Letter of Intent and the First Amendment between the City of
Sunny Isles Beach and H & M Gables Investors, LLC
RECOMMENDATION:
The attached Resolution is presented for your consideration.
REASONS:
The City and H& M Gables Investor, LLC ("operator of Seaquarium") have finalized a proposed
Letter of Intent to facilitate the drafting of a lease and development agreement for the construction
of an Aquarium at the site located at 151 Sunny Isles Boulevard. As you know, operator of the
Seaquarium has expressed a strong interest in developing a private/public partnership with the City
to develop an Aquarium in the City. To facilitate the execution of a Lease Agreement for the
aforementioned property, the operator of Seaquarium has agreed to accept the terms outlined in the
attached Letter of Intent and the First Amendment.
In the proposed Letter of Intent and its amendment, the City and the operator of the Miami
Seaquarium have agreed to enter a 99 year lease. Under the proposed Lease, the City will collect, with
the exception of the first four (4) years of the Lease term, an annual rent in the amount of
$324,000.00 (with appropriate inflating increases). H & M will be responsible for all costs associated
with the construction of the Aquarium. The City will provide the Aquarium with the use of the
parking garage that the City intends to build adjacent to the Aquarium. The City, however, will
collect all revenues generated from the use of the garage. In addition to collecting rent, the City will
be entitled to collect a percentage of the gross sales from the Aquarium less the amount of the Base
Rent. The City will have the right to approve the sale of the Aquarium to a third party. The City will
also have the right to terminate the Lease if the Aquarium is not constructed. Lastly, the parties
agree to finalize all necessary agreements within ninety (90) days of approval of the Letter of Intent.
