LEASE AGREEMENT
THIS LEASE AGREEMENT, made and entered into by and between Regent Holding
Corporation, a Florida Corporation ("Landlord"), and Xxxxxx Technologies, Inc.,
a Florida Corporation ("Tenant"):
WITNESSETH:
1.01 PREMISES. In consideration of the obligation of Tenant to pay rent
and of the other terms, provisions and covenants hereof, Landlord leases to
Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord, all that portion of certain real
property situated within the County of Palm Beach, State of Florida, legally
described in Exhibit A, and the buildings and improvements to be constructed
thereon as outlined on the site plan contained in Exhibit B (the "Premises").
Including any truck loading areas specifically marked in red on said Exhibit B
for the exclusive use of Tenant. The Premises and the building within which the
Premises are located (the "Building") are part of a larger development (the
"Development") commonly known as Congress Corporate Plaza, Phase II.
2.01 TERM OF LEASE. The term of this lease shall commence on the "Rent
Commencement Date", as hereinafter defined, and ending 12 months thereafter,
provided however, that in the event the rent commencement date is a date other
than the first day of a calendar month, said term shall extend for said
number of months in addition to the remainder of the calendar month following
the rent commencement date.
2.02 RENT COMMENCEMENT DATE. The "Rent Commencement Date" shall be the
date that Tenant first uses the Premises or any portion thereof for any purpose
permitted under this lease. In the event this lease pertains to a building or
building interior finish to be constructed, the "Rent Commencement Date" shall
be the date upon which the buildings and other improvements erected and to be
erected upon the premises shall have been substantially completed in accordance
with the plans and specifications described on Exhibit "C" attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference, provided however, that if Landlord shall be
delayed in such substantial completion as a result of: (i) Tenant's failure to
agree to plans, specifications, and cost estimates, within a reasonable period
of time; (ii) Tenant's request for materials, finishes or installations other
than Landlord's standard; (iii) Tenant's changes in plans; the commencement date
and the payment of rent hereunder shall be accelerated by the number of days of
such delay, and provided further that if Landlord cannot substantially complete
the premises as a result of any events (i) through (iii) above, Landlord may as
its election complete so much of Landlord's work as may be practical under the
circumstances and, by written notice to Tenant, establish the commencement date
as the date of such partial completion, subject to any applicable accelerations
due to delays resulting from events (i) through (iii) above. Taking possession
by Tenant shall be deemed conclusively to establish that said buildings and
other improvements have been completed in accordance with the plans and
specifications and that the premises are in good and satisfactory condition, as
of when possession was so taken. Tenant acknowledges that no representations as
to the repair of the premises have been made by Landlord, unless such are
expressly set forth in the lease. After such "Rent Commencement Date" Tenant
shall, upon demand, execute and deliver to Landlord a letter of acceptance of
delivery of the premises. In the event of any dispute as to substantial
completion of work performed, execute or required to be performed by Landlord,
the certificate of Landlord's architect or general contractor shall be
conclusive.
3.01 BASE RENT. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord rent for the premises, in
advance, without demand, deduction or set off, for the entire term hereof at the
rate of Three Thousand Eight Hundred Seventy Six Dollars ($3,876.00) per month.
One such monthly installment shall be due and payable on the date hereof and a
like monthly installment shall be due and payable on or before the first day of
each calendar month succeeding the rent commencement date, except that the
rental payment for any fractional calendar month at the commencement of the
lease period shall be prorated. The rental payment is subject to adjustment as
provided below.
3.02 RENT ESCALATION. [DELETED]
4.01 SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant agrees to deposit with Landlord on the date
hereof the sum of Five Thousand Five Hundred Ninety Six and 29/100 Dollars
($5,596.29), which sum shall be held by Landlord, without obligation for
interest, as security for the full, timely and faithful performance of Tenant's
covenants and obligations under this Lease, it being expressly agreed that
such deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of Landlord's
damages. Upon the occurrence of any event of default by Tenant, Landlord may,
from
1
2
time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy, use such funds to the
extent necessary to make good any arrears of rent or other payments due Landlord
hereunder, and any other damage, injury, expense or liability caused by Tenant's
default; and Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount so applied in
order to restore the security deposit to its original amount. Although the
security deposit shall be deemed the property of Landlord, any remaining balance
of such deposit shall be returned by Landlord at such time after termination of
this Lease when Landlord shall have determined that all Tenant's obligations
under this Lease have been fulfilled.
5.01 PERMITTED USE. The Premises shall be continuously used for the sole
purpose of general business offices and/or for receiving, storing, shipping and
selling (other than at retail) products, materials and merchandise made and/or
distributed by Tenant and for no other use or purpose. Tenant shall at its own
cost and expense obtain any and all licenses and permits necessary for any such
use. The overnight parking of automobiles, trucks or other vehicles, and the
outside storage of any property including trash or garbage are prohibited.
Tenant agrees that it shall, at its own cost and expenses keep its employees,
agents, customers, invitees, and/or licensees from parking on any streets
running through or contiguous to the buildings or development of which the
premises are part thereof. Tenant agrees that no washing of any type will take
place in the premises including the truck apron and parking areas. Tenant shall
not permit any objectionable or unpleasant odors, smoke, dust, gas, noise or
vibrations to emanate from the Premises, nor take any other action which would
constitute a nuisance or would disturb or endanger any other tenants of
Development or unreasonably interfere with such tenants' use of their respective
premises or permit any use which would adversely affect the reputation of the
Development. Tenant shall not receive, store or otherwise handle any product,
material or merchandise which is explosive, highly flammable or constitutes a
hazardous substance or waste. Tenant shall not permit the Premises to be used
for any purpose (including, without limitation, the storage of merchandise) in
any manner which would render the insurance thereon void or increase the
insurance rate thereof. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless
against any and all loss, costs and claims, including attorney's fees relating
to the improper storage, handling, transportation or disposal of explosive,
highly flammable or hazardous materials or resulting from any other improper
use. Tenant shall comply with all governmental laws, ordinances and regulations
applicable to the Premises, and shall promptly comply with all governmental
orders and directives for the correction, prevention and abatement of any
violations or nuisances in or upon, or connected with, the Premises, all at
Tenant's sole expense. If, as a result of any change in the governmental laws,
ordinances and regulations, the Premises must be altered to accommodate lawfully
the use and occupancy thereof, such alterations shall be made only with the
consent of Landlord, but the entire cost thereof shall be borne by Tenant;
provided that the necessity of Landlord's consent shall in no way create any
liability against Landlord for failure of Tenant to comply with such laws,
ordinances and regulations. Tenant shall take whatever other actions are
necessary so that the Premises and Tenant's use thereof complies with the Fire
Prevention Code of the National Fire Protection Association and any other fire
prevention laws, ordinances, rules or regulations applicable to the Premises.
6.01 TENANT'S TAXES. Tenant shall be responsible to pay before delinquency
all franchise taxes, assessments, levies or charges measured by or based in
whole or in part upon the rents payable hereunder or the gross receipts of
Tenant and all sales taxes and other taxes imposed upon or assessed by reason of
the rents and other charges payable hereunder. The Florida sales tax imposed on
rent and on other charges payable hereunder shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord
with the payment of Tenant's rental payments and other charges payable
hereunder.
7.01 DEFINITION OF OPERATING COSTS. The term "Operating Costs" shall mean
all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord or on Landlord's behalf in
connection with the ownership, management, repair, replacement, remodeling,
maintenance and operation of the Development (including, without limitation, all
assessed real property taxes, assessments (whether general or special) and
governmental charges of any kind and nature whatsoever including assessments due
to deed restrictions and/or owner's associations, which accrue against the
building and/or development of which the premises are a part, the costs of
maintaining and repairing parking lots, parking structures, easements, and
landscaping, property management fees, utility costs to the extent not
separately metered, insurance premiums, depreciation of the costs of replacement
(as defined below) of the building and improvements in the Development but not
including any structural repairs or replacements which are normally chargeable
to capital accounts under sound accounting principles, and the Building's share
of costs of the Development). The term "operating costs" does not include; (i)
costs of alterations of tenants' premises; (ii) costs of curing construction
defects; (iii) interest and principal payments on mortgages, and other debt
cost; (iv) real estate brokers' leasing commissions or compensation; (v) any
cost or expenditure for which Landlord is reimbursed, whether by insurance
proceeds or otherwise; (vi) cost of any service furnished to any other occupant
of the Building which Landlord does not provide to tenant hereunder. Structural
repairs and replacements are repairs and replacements to the foundations,
load-bearing walls, columns and joists and replacement of roofing and roof deck.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, depreciation of any
capital improvements which are intended to reduce Operating Costs, or are
required under any governmental laws, regulations or ordinances which were not
applicable to the Building or the Development at the time it was constructed, or
are recommended by the N.F.P.A. Life Safety Code, shall be included in Operating
Costs. The useful life of any such improvement as well as all non-structural
replacements shall be reasonably determined by Landlord. In addition, interest
on the undepreciated cost of any such improvement or non-structural replacement
(at the prevailing construction loan rate available to Landlord on the date the
cost of such improvement was incurred) shall also be included in Operating
Costs. If Landlord selects the accrual method of accounting rather than the cash
accounting method for Operating Costs purposes, Operating Costs shall be deemed
to have been paid when such expenses have accrued. Landlord shall have the right
at any time and from time to time to elect, which election shall be subject to
revocation, to exclude that portion of Operating Costs attributable to any
separately assessed part of the Development and any separate building within the
Development. During any period that Operating Costs attributable to any
separately assessed part of the Development and/or separate building are so
excluded from Operating Costs, then for the purposes of calculating Tenant's
proportionate share of Operating Costs as provided in Section 7.02, the
denominator shall not include the rentable area of such separately assessed part
of the Development and/or such separate building. Landlord may, in a reasonable
manner, allocate insurance premiums for so-called "blanket" insurance policies
which insure other properties as well as the Development and said allocated
amount shall be deemed to be an Operating Cost.
If at any time during the term of this lease, the present method of taxation
shall be changed so that in lieu of the whole or any part of any taxes,
assessments or governmental charges levied, assessed or imposed on real estate
and the improvements thereon, there shall be levied, assessed or imposed on
Landlord a capital levy or other tax directly on the rents received therefrom
and/or a franchise tax, assessment, levy or charge measured by or based, in
whole or in part, upon such rents for the present or any future building or
buildings on the premises, then all such taxes, assessments, levies or charges,
or the part thereof so measured or based, shall be deemed to be included within
the term "taxes" for the purposes hereof.
7.02 TENANT'S PROPORTIONATE SHARE OF OPERATING COSTS. Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, as additional rent, its proportionate share of operating costs
calculated on the basis of the ratio set forth in Section 8.01. Any payments
with respect to any partial calendar year in which the Term commences or ends
shall be prorated. Tenant agrees to pay 1,403.52 per month as an escrow amount
for operating costs as defined in Article 7.01. Landlord may, at any time,
deliver to Tenant its estimate (or revised estimate) of such additional amounts
payable under this Section for each calendar year. On or before the first day of
the next month and on or before the first day of each month thereafter, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord as additional rent such amount as Landlord reasonably
determines to be necessary to bring and keep Tenant current. As soon as
practicable after the close of each calendar
Landlord: /s/ [ILLEGIBLE] Tenant: /s/ [ILLEGIBLE]
----------------- ----------------

year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement showing the total amount
payable by Tenant under this Article. If such statement shows an amount due from
Tenant that is less than the estimated payments previously paid by Tenant, it
shall be accompanied by a refund of the excess to Tenant or at Landlord's option
the excess shall be credited against the next monthly installment of rent. If
such statement shows an amount due from Tenant that is more than the estimated
payments paid by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord, as
additional rent. In the event an amount is due and is not paid within thirty
(30) days after the date of Landlord's statement to tenant, the unpaid amount
shall bear interest at the rate of eighteen (18%) percent per annum from the
date of such statement until payment by tenant. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge
that certain of the costs of management, operation and maintenance of the
Development are allocated among all of the buildings in the Development using
methods of allocation that are considered reasonable and appropriate under the
circumstances. Tenant hereby consents to such allocations provided that the
determination of such costs and the allocation of all or part thereof to
Operating Costs hereunder shall be in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. Tenant or its'
representatives shall have the right after seven (7) days prior written notice
to Landlord to examine Landlord's books and records of Operating Costs during
normal business hours within twenty (20) days following the furnishing of the
statement to Tenant. Unless Tenant takes written exception to any item within
thirty (30) days following the furnishing of the statement to Tenant (which item
shall be paid in any event), such statement shall be considered as final and
accepted by Tenant. The taking of exception to any item shall not excuse Tenant
from the obligation to make timely payment based upon the statement as delivered
by Landlord.
8.01 TENANT'S PROPORTIONATE SHARE. (a) Tenant's "proportionate share" as used in
this Lease with respect to the Building shall mean a fraction the numerator of
which shall be the rentable area contained in the Premises and the denominator
of which shall be the rentable area contained in the Building, as determined by
Landlord. Tenant's "proportionate share" as used in this Lease with respect to
costs relating to more than the Building, shall mean a fraction the numerator of
which shall be the rentable area contained in the Premises and the denominator
of which shall be the rentable area of all buildings, as determined by Landlord,
within the Development. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the
contrary, Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to add to or exclude
from the Development real property and any buildings constructed thereon. In
the event Landlord elects to add to or exclude from the Development, Landlord
shall notify Tenant in writing of any such addition or exclusion which notice
shall describe the property added or excluded.
9.01 TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS. (a) Tenant shall at its own cost and expense keep and
maintain all parts of the Premises and such portion of the Development within
the exclusive control of Tenant in good condition, promptly making all necessary

but not limited to, windows, glass and plate glass, doors, skylights, any
special office entries, interior walls and finish work, floors and floor
coverings, heating and air conditioning systems, electrical systems and
fixtures, sprinkler systems, water heaters, dock board, truck doors, dock
bumpers, and plumbing work and fixtures. Tenant as part of its obligation
hereunder shall keep the whole of the Premises in a clean and sanitary
condition. Tenant will as far as possible keep all such parts of the Premises
from deteriorating, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and from falling
temporarily out of repair, and upon termination of this Lease in any way, Tenant
will yield up the Premises to Landlord in good condition and repair, loss by
fire or other casualty covered by insurance to be secured pursuant to Article 15
excepted (but not excepting any damage to glass or loss not reimbursed by
insurance because of the existence of a deductible under the appropriate
policy). Tenant shall not damage any demising wall or disturb the integrity and
supports provided by any demising wall and shall, at its sole cost and expense,
properly repair any damage or injury to any demising wall caused by Tenant or
its employees, agents or invitees. Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense,
as additional rent, pay for the repair of any damage to the Premises, the
Building, or the Development resulting from and/or caused in whole or in part by
the negligence or misconduct of Tenant, its agents, servants, employees,
patrons, customers, or any other person entering upon the Development as a
result of Tenant's business activities or caused by Tenant's default hereunder.
(b) Tenant at its own cost and expense, enter into a regularly scheduled
preventive maintenance/service contract with a maintenance contractor approved
by Landlord, for servicing all heating and air conditioning systems and
equipment servicing the Premises and an executed copy of such contract shall be
delivered to Landlord. This service contract must include all services suggested
by the equipment manufacturer within the operations/maintenance manual and must
become effective within thirty (30) days of the date Tenant takes possession of
the Premises. Landlord may (but shall not be required to), upon notice to
Tenant, elect to enter into such a maintenance service contract on behalf of
Tenant or perform the work itself and, in either case, charge Tenant therefore,
together with a reasonable charge for overhead.
9.02 LANDLORD'S OBLIGATIONS. Landlord shall maintain in good repair,
reasonable wear and tear and any casualty covered by the provisions of Article
15 excepted, all parts of the Development, other than tenants' demised premises
or portions of the Development within the exclusive control of tenants of the
Development, making all necessary repairs and replacements, whether ordinary or
extraordinary structural or nonstructural, including roof, foundation, walls,
downspouts, gutters, regular mowing of any grass, trimming, weed removal and
general landscape maintenance, including any rail spur areas, exterior painting,
exterior lighting, exterior signs and common sewage plumbing and the maintenance
of all paved areas including driveways and alleys, including, but not limited
to, cleaning, repaving, restripping and resealing. Tenant shall immediately give
Landlord written notice of any defect or need for repairs, after which Landlord
shall have a reasonable opportunity to repair the same or cure such defect.
Landlord's liability with respect to any defects, repairs or maintenance for
which Landlord is responsible under any of the provisions of this Lease shall be
limited to the cost of such repairs or maintenance or the curing of such defect.
The term "walls" as used herein shall not include windows, glass or plate glass,
doors, special store front or office entry.
10.01 ALTERATIONS. Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions or
improvements to the Premises (including, without limitation, the roof and wall
penetrations) without the prior written consent of Landlord. If Landlord shall,
consent to any alterations, additions or improvements proposed by Tenant, Tenant
shall construct the same in accordance with all governmental laws, ordinances,
rules and regulations and all requirements of Landlord's and Tenant's insurance
policies and only in accordance with plans and specifications approved by
Landlord; and any contractor or person selected by Tenant to make the same, or,
at Landlord's option and discretion, the alterations, additions or improvements
shall be made by Landlord for Tenant's account and Tenant shall fully reimburse
Landlord for the entire cost thereof. Tenant may, without the consent of
Landlord, but at its own cost and expense and in good workmanlike manner erect
such shelves, bins, machinery and other trade fixtures as it may deem advisable,
without altering the basic character of the Building or Development and without
overloading the floor or damaging such Building or Development, and in each case
after complying with all applicable governmental laws, ordinances, regulations
and other requirements. All shelves, bins, machinery and trade fixtures
installed by Tenant may be removed by Tenant prior to the termination of this
Lease if Tenant so elects, and shall be removed by the date of termination of
this Lease or upon earlier vacating of the Premises if required by Landlord;
upon any such removal Tenant shall restore the Premises to their original
condition. All such removals and restoration shall be accomplished in a good
and workmanlike manner so as not to damage the primary structure or structural
quality of the Building.
11.01 SIGNS AND WINDOW TREATMENT. Tenant shall not install any signs upon
the Building or Development. Landlord will provide, at Tenant's request and
cost, Landlord's standard identification sign, which sign shall be removed by
Tenant upon termination of this Lease at which time Tenant shall restore the
property to the same condition as prior to installation of said sign. Tenant
shall not install drapes, curtains, blinds or any window treatment without
Landlord's prior written consent. Landlord may from time to time require Tenant
to change its signage to conform to a revised standard for the Building,

the cost of removing and replacing such signs. Landlord shall maintain all signs
and the cost thereof shall be charged to Tenant.
12.01 INSPECTIONS. Landlord and Landlord's agents and representatives shall
have the right to enter and inspect the premises at any reasonable time during
business hours, for the purpose of ascertaining the condition of the premises or
in order to make such repairs as may be required or permitted to be made by
Landlord under the terms of this lease. During the period that is six (6) months
prior to the end of the term hereof, Landlord and Landlord's agents and
representatives shall have the right to enter the premises at any reasonable
time during business hours for the purpose of showing the premises and shall
have the right to erect on the premises a suitable sign indicating the premises
are available. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord at least thirty (30)
days prior to vacating the premises and shall arrange to meet with Landlord for
a joint inspection of the premises prior to vacating. In the event of Tenant's
failure to give such notice or arrange such joint inspection, Landlord's
inspection at or after Tenant's vacating the premises shall be conclusively
deemed correct for purposes of determining Tenant's responsibility for repairs
and restoration.
13.01 UTILITIES. Tenant shall pay for all gas, heat, light, power,
telephone, and other utilities and services used on or from the Premises,
including without limitation, Tenant's proportionate share as determined by
Landlord for the use of such utilities which are not separately metered and any
central station signaling system installed in the Premises or the Building,
together with any taxes, penalties and surcharges or the like pertaining thereto
and any maintenance charges for utilities. Tenant shall furnish and install all
electric light bulbs, tubes and ballasts, other than those originally provided
to the Premises by Landlord. Landlord shall in no event be liable for any
interruption or failure of utility services on or to the Premises.
14.01 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. (a) Tenant shall not have the right to
assign, sublet, transfer or encumber this lease, or any interest therein,
without the prior written consent of Landlord. Any attempted assignment,
subletting, transfer or encumbrance by Tenant in violation of the terms and
covenants of this Paragraph shall be void. All cash or other proceeds of any
assignment, such proceeds as exceed the rentals called for hereunder in the case
of a subletting and all cash or other proceeds of any other transfer of Tenant's
interest in this lease shall be paid to Landlord, whether such assignment,
subletting or other transfer is consented to by Landlord or not, unless Landlord
agrees to the contrary in writing, and Tenant hereby assigns all rights it might
have or ever acquire in any such proceeds to Landlord. Any assignment,
subletting or other transfer of Tenant's interest in this lease shall be for an
amount equal to the then fair market value of such interest. These covenants
shall run with the land and shall bind Tenant and Tenant's heirs, executors,
administrators, personal representatives, representatives in any bankruptcy
proceeding, successors and assigns. Any assignee, sublessee or transferee of
Tenant's interest in this lease (all such assignees, sublessees and transferees
being hereinafter referred to as "successors"), by assuming Tenant's obligations
hereunder shall assume liability to Landlord for all amounts paid to persons
other than Landlord by such successors in contravention of this Paragraph. No
assignment, subletting or other transfer, whether consented to by Landlord or
not, shall relieve Tenant of its liability hereunder. Upon the occurrence of an
"event of default" as hereinafter defined, If the premises or any part thereof
are then assigned or sublet, Landlord, in addition to any other remedies herein
provided, as provided by law, may at its option collect directly from such
assignee or subtenant all rents becoming due to Tenant under such assignment or
sublease and apply such rent against any sums due to Landlord for Tenant
hereunder, and no such collection shall be construed to constitute a novation or
a release of Tenant from the further performance of Tenant's obligations
hereunder.
(b) If this lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code 11 U.S.C. 101 et seq., (The "Bankruptcy
Code"), any and all monies or other considerations payable or otherwise to be
delivered in connection with such assignment shall be paid or delivered to
Landlord, shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord and shall not
constitute property of Tenant or of the estate of Tenant within the meaning of
the Bankruptcy Code. Any and all monies or other considerations constituting
Landlord's property under the preceding sentence not paid or delivered to
Landlord shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Landlord and be promptly
paid or delivered to Landlord.
(c) Any person or entity to which this lease is assigned pursuant to the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be deemed, without further act or deed,
to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this lease on and after the
date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall upon demand execute and deliver
to Landlord an instrument confirming such assumption.
15.01 FIRE AND CASUALTY DAMAGE. (a) Landlord agrees to maintain insurance
covering the building of which the premises are a part in an amount not less
than eighty (80%) percent (or such greater percentage as may be necessary to
comply with the provisions of any co-insurance clauses of the policy) of the
replacement cost thereof, insuring against the perils of Fire, Lightning,
Extended Coverage, Vandalism and Malicious Mischief, extended by Special
Extended Coverage Endorsement to insure against all other Risks of Direct
Physical Loss, such coverages and endorsements to be as defined, provided and
limited in the standard bureau forms prescribed by the insurance regulatory
authority for the state in which the premises are situated for use by insurance
companies admitted in such state for the writing of such insurance on risks
located within such state, Subject to the provisions of subparagraphs 15.01(c),
15.01(d), and 15.01(e) below, such insurance shall be for the sole benefit of
Landlord and under its sole control.
(b) If the building situated upon the premises should be damaged or
destroyed by fire, tornado or other casualty, tenant shall give written notice
thereof to Landlord.
(c) If the buildings situated upon the premises should be totally destroyed
by fire, tornado or other casualty, or if they should be so damaged thereby that
rebuilding or repairs cannot in Landlord's estimation be completed within two
hundred (200) days after the date upon which Landlord is notified by Tenant of
such damage, this lease shall terminate and the rent shall be abated during the
unexpired portion of this lease, effective upon the date of the occurrence of
such damage.
(d) If the buildings situated upon the premises should be damaged by any
peril covered by insurance to be provided by Landlord under subparagraph 15.01
(a) above, but only to such extent that rebuilding or repairs can in Landlord's
estimation be completed within two hundred (200) days after the date upon which
Landlord is notified by Tenant of such damage, this lease shall not terminate,
and Landlord shall at its sole cost and expense thereupon proceed with
reasonable diligence to rebuild and repair such buildings to substantially the
condition in which they existed prior to such damage, except that Landlord shall
not be required to rebuild, repair or replace any part of the partitions,
fixtures, additions and other improvements which may have been placed in, on or
about the premises by Tenant and except that Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon
demand any amount by which Landlord's cost of such rebuilding, repair and/or
replacement exceeds net insurance proceeds paid to Landlord in connection with
such damage and except that Landlord may elect not to rebuild if such damage
occurs during the last year of the term of the lease exclusive of any option
which is unexercised at the time of such damage. If the premises are
untenantable in whole or in part following such damage, the rent payable
hereunder during the period in which they are untenantable shall be reduced to
such extent as may be fair and reasonable under all of the circumstances. In the
event that Landlord should fail to complete such repairs and rebuilding within
two hundred (200) days after the date upon which Landlord is notified by Tenant
of such damage, Tenant may at its option terminate this lease by delivering
written notice of termination to Landlord as Tenant's exclusive remedy,
whereupon all rights and or obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate.
Should construction be delayed because of changes, deletions, or additions in
construction requested by Tenant, strikes, lockouts, casualties, acts of God,
war, material or labor shortages governmental regulation or control or other
causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, the period of restoration,
repair or rebuilding shall be extended for the time Landlord is so delayed.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event the
holder of any indebtedness secured by a mortgage or dead of trust covering the
premises requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to such indebtedness,
then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this lease by delivering written
notice of termination to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after such
Landlord: /s/ [ILLEGIBLE] Tenant: /s/ [ILLEGIBLE]

requirement is made by any such holder, whereupon all rights and obligations
hereunder shall cease and terminate.
(f) Each of Landlord and Tenant hereby releases the other from any loss or
damage to property caused by fire or any perils insured in policies of insurance
covering such property, even if such loss or damage shall have been caused by
the fault or negligence of the other party, or anyone for whom such party may be
responsible; provided, however, that this release shall be applicable and in
force and effect only with respect to loss or damage occurring during such times
as the releasor's policies shall contain a clause or endorsement to the effect
that any such release shall not adversely affect or impair said policies or
prejudice the right of the releasor to recover thereunder and then only to the
extent of the insurance proceeds payable under such policies. Each of the
Landlord and Tenant agrees that it will request its insurance carriers to
include in its policies such a clause or endorsement.
16.01 LIABILITY. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or Tenant's
employees, agents, patrons or visitors, or to any other person whomsoever, for
any injury to person or damage to property on or about the premises, resulting
from and/or caused in part or whole by the negligence or misconduct of Tenant,
its agents, servants or employees of any other person entering upon the
premises, or caused by the buildings and improvements located on the premises
becoming out of repair, or caused by leakage of gas, oil, water or steam or by
electricity emanating from the premises, or due to any cause whatsoever, and
Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that it will at all times indemnify and hold
safe and harmless the property, the Landlord (including without limitation the
trustee and beneficiaries if Landlord is a trust), Landlord's agents and
employees from any loss, liability, claims, suits, costs, expenses, including
without limitation attorney's fees and damages, both real and alleged, arising
out of any such damage or injury; except injury to persons or damage to property
the sole cause of which is the gross negligence of Landlord or the failure of
Landlord to repair any part of the premises which Landlord is obligated to
repair and maintain hereunder within a reasonable time after the receipt of
written notice from Tenant of needed repairs. Tenant shall procure and maintain
throughout the term of the lease a policy or policies of insurance, at its sole
cost and expense, insuring both Landlord and Tenant against all claims, demands

described in Paragraph 20.01 hereof, Landlord shall have the option to pursue
any one or more of the following remedies without any notice or demand
whatsoever;
(1) Terminate this lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately
surrender the premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails so to do,
Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have
for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of
the premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may
be occupying such premises or any part thereof, by force if necessary,
without being liable for prosecution or any claim of damages therefore.
(2) Enter upon and take possession of the premises and expel or remove
Tenant and any other person who may be occupying such premises or any
part thereof, by force if necessary, without being liable for
prosecution or any claim for damages therefore, and relet the premises
and receive the rent therefore.
(3) Enter upon the premises, by force if necessary, without being liable
for prosecution or any claim for damages therefore, and do whatever
Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this lease; and Tenant
agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses which Landlord
may incur in thus effecting compliance with Tenant's obligations under
this lease, and Tenant further agrees that Landlord shall not be liable
for any damages resulting to the Tenant from such action, whether
caused by the negligence of Landlord or otherwise.
(4) Alter all locks and other security devices at the premises without
terminating this lease.
(b) In the event Landlord may elect to regain possession of the premises

statutory notice which may be required prior to such proceeding, and agrees
that Landlord's execution of this lease is, in part, consideration for this

when such installment is due, to help defray the additional cost to Landlord
for processing such late payments Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a late
charge in an amount equal to five (5%) percent of such installment; and the
failure to pay such amount within five (5) days after demand therefore shall be

by the bank for non-payment, Tenant agrees to pay all expenses incurred by
Landlord as a result thereof.

claims for damages by reason of such re-entry and/or repossession and/or
alteration of locks or other security devices are hereby waived, as are all
claims for damages by reason of any distress warrant, forcible detainer
proceedings, sequestration proceedings or other legal process. Tenant agrees

detainer proceedings or other legal proceedings or without the necessity for any
legal proceedings, as Landlord may elect, and Landlord shall not be liable for
trespass or otherwise.

event of default, then notwithstanding such termination, Tenant shall be liable
for and shall pay to Landlord at the address specified for notice to Landlord
herein, the sum of all rental and other indebtedness accrued to date of such
termination, plus, as damages, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the total
rental hereunder for the remaining portion of the lease term (had such term not
been terminated by Landlord prior to the date of expiration and (ii) the then
present value of the then fair rental value of the premises for such period.
(g) In the event that Landlord elects to repossess the premises without
terminating the lease, or in the event Landlord elects to terminate the lease,
then Tenant at Landlord's option, shall be liable for and shall pay to
Landlord, at the address specified for notice to Landlord herein, all rental
and other indebtedness accrued to the date of such repossession, plus rental
required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord during the remainder of the lease
term until the date of expiration of the term as stated in Section 3.01
diminished by any net sums thereafter received by Landlord through reletting
the premises during said period (after deducting expenses incurred by Landlord
as provided in subparagraph 20.02(h). In no event shall Tenant be entitled to
any excess of any rental obtained by reletting over and above the rental herein
reserved. Actions to collect amounts due by Tenant to Landlord under this
subparagraph may be brought from time to time, on one or more occasions,
without the necessity of Landlord's waiting until expiration of the lease term.
(h) In case of any event of default or breach by Tenant, or threatened or
anticipatory breach or default, Tenant shall also be liable for and shall pay
to Landlord, at the address specified for notice to Landlord herein, in
addition to any sum provided to be paid above, brokers' fees incurred by
Landlord in connection with reletting the whole or any part of the premises;

cost of repairing, altering, remodeling or otherwise putting the premises into
condition acceptable to a new tenant or tenants, and all reasonable expenses
incurred by Landlord in enforcing or defending Landlord's rights and/or
remedies including reasonable attorney's fees.

event of default, Landlord shall not have any obligation to relet or to attempt
to relet the premises, or any portion thereof, or to collect rental after

portion of the premises for any period to any tenant and for any use and
purpose.

(j) If Tenant should fail to make any payment or cure any default
hereunder within the time herein permitted, Landlord, without being under any
obligations to do so and without thereby waiving such default, may make such
payment and/or remedy such other default for the account of Tenant (and enter
the premises for such purpose), and thereupon Tenant shall be obligated to, and
hereby agrees, to pay Landlord upon demand, all costs, expenses and
disbursements (including reasonable attorney's fees) incurred by Landlord in
taking such remedial action.

pursuant to the authority herein granted then Landlord shall have the right to
keep in place and use all of the furniture, fixtures and equipment at the
premises, including that which is owned or leased to Tenant at all times prior
to any foreclosure thereon by Landlord or repossession thereof by any lessor
thereof or third party having a lien thereon, Landlord shall also have the
right to remove from the premises (without the necessity of obtaining a distress

equipment or other property, without the necessity on the part of Landlord to
inquire into the authenticity of said instrument's copy of Tenant's or Tenant's
predecessor's signature(s) thereon and without the necessity of Landlord making
any nature of investigation or inquiry as to the validity of the factual or
legal basis upon which Claimant purports to act; and Tenant agrees to indemnify
and hold Landlord harmless from all cost, expense, loss, damage and liability
incident to Landlord's relinquishment of possession of all or any portion of
such furniture, fixtures, equipment or other property to Claimant. Any and all
property which may be removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the
authority of this Lease or of Law, to which Tenant is or may be entitled, may
be handled, removed and stored, as the case may be, by or at the direction of
Landlord at the risk, cost and expense of Tenant, and Landlord shall in no
event be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof. Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, upon demand any and all expenses incurred in such

case may be. Any security deposit held by Landlord shall be credited against
the amount payable by Tenant under this Section.

thereof to any person or circumstance shall be invalid or unenforceable under
applicable law, such event shall not affect, impair or render invalid or
unenforceable the remainder of this Lease nor any other clause, phrase,
provision or portion hereof, nor shall it affect the application of any clause,
phrase, provision or portion hereof to other persons or circumstances, and it is

30.01 ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES: Tenant acknowledges that it has inspected the
Premises, knows the condition thereof, and accepts such Premises, and
specifically the buildings and improvements comprising the same, in
their present condition, as suitable for purposes for which the
Premises are leased. Taking of possession by Tenant shall be deemed
conclusively to establish that said buildings and other improvements
are in good and satisfactory condition as of when possession was taken.
Tenant further acknowledges that no representations as to the repair
of the Premises, nor promises to alter, remodel or improve the Premises
have been made by Landlord, unless such are expressly set forth in this
lease. If this lease is executed before the Premises become vacant or
otherwise available and ready for occupancy, or if any present tenant
or occupant of the Premises holds over, and Landlord cannot, using good
faith efforts, acquire possession of the Premises prior to the date
above recited as the commencement date of this lease, Landlord shall
not be deemed to be in default hereunder, nor in any way liable to
Tenant because of such failure, and Tenant agrees to accept possession
of the Premises at such time as Landlord is able to tender the same,
which date shall thenceforth be deemed the "commencement date"; and the
term of this lease shall automatically be extended so as to include the
full number of months herein before provided for, except that if the
commencement date is other than the first day of calendar month, such
term shall also be extended for the remainder of tile calendar month in
which possession is tendered. Landlord hereby waives payment of rent
covering any period prior to such tendering of possession. After the
commencement date, Tenant shall, upon demand, execute and deliver to
Landlord a letter of acceptance of delivery of the Premises.
31.01 ENVIRONMENT MATTERS: Tenant hereby agrees to conform and comply with
all provisions of Exhibit E, known herein as Environmental Matters.
32.01 LANDLORD'S LIEN PROTECTION: Neither Tenant nor anyone claiming by,
through or under Tenant, including, without limitation, contractors,
subcontractors, material men, mechanics and laborers, shall have any
right to file or place mechanic's, material men's or other liens of any
kind whatsoever upon the demised premises or upon the tract of land
described on Exhibit A, or any portion thereof; on the contrary, any
such liens are specifically prohibited and shall be null and void and
of no further force or effect.
Tenant has no power to subject Landlord's interest in the demised
premises to any claim or lien of any kind or character and any persons
dealing with Tenant must look solely to the credit of the Tenant for
payment.

Laws are strictly the responsibility of Tenant. Upon expiration or earlier
termination of the term of the Lease, Tenant shall cause all Hazardous Materials
to be removed from the Premises and transported for use, storage or disposal in
accordance and compliance with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws. Tenant
shall not take any remedial action in response to the presence of any Hazardous
Materials in or about the Premises or any Building, nor enter into any
settlement agreement, consent decree or other compromise in respect to any
claims relating to any Hazardous Materials in any way connected with the
Premises or Building, without first notifying Landlord of Tenant's intention to

harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, penalties,
forfeitures, losses or expenses (including attorneys' fees) for death of or
injury to any person or damage to any property whatsoever (including water
tables and atmosphere), arising from or caused in whole or in part, directly or
indirectly, by (A) the presence in, on, under or about the Premises or Building
or discharge in or from the Premises or Building of any Hazardous Materials or
Tenant's use, analysis, storage, transportation, disposal, release, threatened
release, discharge or generation of Hazardous Materials to, in, on, under, about

remedial action or other required plans in connection therewith, and shall

Tenant or others acting for or on behalf of Tenant (whether or not they are
negligent, intentional, willful or unlawful) shall be strictly attributable to
Tenant.
(3) Additional Insurance or Financial Capacity. If at any time it
reasonably appears to Landlord that Tenant is not maintaining sufficient
insurance or other means of financial capacity to enable Tenant to fulfill its
obligation to Landlord hereunder, whether or not then accrued, liquidated,
conditional or contingent, Tenant shall procure and thereafter maintain in full
force and effect such insurance or other form of financial assurance, with or
from companies or persons and in forms reasonably acceptable to Landlord, as
Landlord may from time to time reasonably request. Landlord may procure such
insurance if Tenant fails to meet its obligation hereunder and the cost thereof
shall be passed through to Tenant.
(4) Environmental Audit; Right of Entry. Landlord shall have the right to
require Tenant to undertake and submit to Landlord a periodic environmental
audit from an environmental company approved by Landlord, which audit shall
cover Tenant's compliance with this Section. Tenant shall promptly comply with
all requirements of such audit and cure all matters raised therein at Tenant's
sole cost.
(5) Radon Gas - Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when
it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health
risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed
federal and state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional
information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your county
public health unit.
The above statement is incorporated in the lease as a requirement in
