ARTICLE 2

TERM AND RENT COMMENCEMENT DATE

2.01 Term. The “Term” (defined below) shall commence within ten (10) days following the later to occur of: (i) the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Demised Premises, and (ii) termination (the “Sublease Termination”) of that certain Sublease Agreement between Tenant, as sublessee, and Cingular Wireless, as sublessor, (the “Commencement Date”) and shall expire at midnight on the date immediately preceding the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Commencement Date. This Lease is expressly contingent on Tenant receiving the Sublease Termination on or before November 1, 2006.

2.02 Renewal Option Provided Tenant is not in default under any of the terms and provisions herein contained and further provided Tenant is occupying the Demised Premises at the time the option is exercised, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant one (1) option to renew this Lease for one (1) period of five (5) years, commencing on the day following the expiration of the existing Lease Term. The renewal term shall be upon all the terms and conditions as the existing Lease Term with the sole exception that the Base Annual Rent shall be adjusted to reflect the then fair market rental value. Fair market rental value shall mean the then prevailing rent for premises comparable in size and use to the Demised Premises, located in buildings comparable in size and use to, and in the general vicinity of, the Building, leased on terms comparable to the terms contained in this Lease, taking into consideration all allowances for tenant improvements, moving expenses, landlord expenses, rent abatement, brokerage expenses, tenant benefits, parking charges or any other market concessions which may be commonly available at the time in question. Landlord shall provide Tenant with its estimate of the Fair Market Rental Value within thirty (30) days from Tenant’s notice to Landlord of its intent to exercise the renewal option. In the event Tenant disagrees as to Landlord’s estimate of the Fair Market Rental Value, it shall notify Landlord of such disagreement within twenty (20) days from receipt of Landlord’s notice of Fair Market Rental Value and shall provide Landlord with Tenant’s commercially reasonable estimate of the Fair Market Rental Value. In the event Landlord disagrees with Tenant’s proposed amount, the parties hereby agree to appoint a mutually acceptable unrelated independent arbitrator to resolve the dispute and agree to be bound by the decision of such arbitrator. Tenant and Landlord shall equally split the cost of the independent arbitrator. The foregoing option to renew shall be exercised by written notice to Landlord given not less than three hundred sixty-five (365) days prior to the expiration of the existing Term of this Lease. Time is of the essence with respect to Tenant’s exercise of its option to renew.

2.03 Vacation. This Lease, and the tenancy created hereby, shall cease and terminate at the end of the Term without the necessity of any notice from either Landlord or Tenant to terminate same. Tenant hereby waives any right to notice from Landlord to vacate the Demised Premises and agrees that Landlord shall be entitled to the benefit of all provisions of any applicable governing law with respect to the summary recovery of possession of the Demised Premises in the event that Tenant should hold over beyond the expiration of the Term or any earlier termination thereof to the same extent as if statutory notice had been given.

2.04 Acknowledgment of Term. Following the Commencement Date, but no later than ten (10) business days following Landlord’s written request therefor, the parties shall execute and deliver in recordable form an instrument prepared by Landlord or a letter agreement, at the option of Landlord, wherein Tenant shall (i) acknowledge that the Demised Premises (including the building or buildings of which the Demised Premises form a part, the parking garage structure and other “Common Areas” [as hereinafter defined in Paragraph (b) of Exhibit “G”]) are completed in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease, (ii) certify that the Lease is in full force and effect and no “Advance Rental” (as hereinafter defined in Section 6.02) has been paid to Landlord except as provided for herein, and (iii) certify the Commencement Date and termination date of the initial Term.

From and after the Commencement Date, and until December 31, 2007, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a minimum guaranteed annual rent, the sum of Two Hundred Eighty-Four Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty-Four and 04/100 Dollars ($284,924.04) annually for 12,388 rentable square feet of space (the “Partial Space”), payable in advance without demand, setoff or deduction, in equal monthly installments of Twenty-Three Seven Hundred Forty-Three and 67/100 Dollars ($23,743.67) on or before the first day of each calendar month, the first installment to be paid on the Commencement Date (the “Initial 12,388 Base Annual Rent”) together with any applicable sales tax thereon, which sales tax shall be considered as an “Additional Charge” (as hereinafter defined in Paragraph (a) of Exhibit “G”) hereunder. From and after January 1, 2008, and throughout the balance of the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a minimum guaranteed annual rent, as adjusted in accordance with Section 3.02 hereinbelow, an amount equal to the then-current Base Annual Rent per square foot that is being charged for the Remaining Space (as hereinafter defined) annually for the Partial Space, payable in advance without demand, setoff or deduction, (the “Subsequent 12,388 Base Annual Rent”) on or before the first day of each calendar month, the first installment to be paid on the Commencement Date together with any applicable sales tax thereon, which sales tax shall be considered as an Additional Charge. From and after the Commencement Date, and throughout the Term of the Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a minimum guaranteed annual rent, as adjusted in accordance with Section 3.02 hereinbelow, the sum of One Hundred Sixty-Six Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Six and 50/100 Dollars ($166,666.50) (the “Remaining Base Annual Rent”), annually for the remaining 8,547 square feet of space (the “Remaining Space”), payable in advance without demand, setoff or deduction, in equal monthly installments of Thirteen Thousand Eight Hundred Eighty-Eight and 88/100 Dollars ($13,888.88) (the “Remaining Base Annual Rent”) together with any applicable sales tax thereon, which sales tax shall be considered as an Additional Charge hereunder. The Initial 12,388 Base Annual Rent, the Subsequent 12,388 Base Annual Rent and the Remaining Base Annual Rent are collectively referred to herein as the “Base Annual Rent.” If the Commencement Date shall fall upon a day other than the first day of a calendar month, Tenant's first payment of Base Annual Rent shall also include Base Annual Rent for the fractional portion of the month between the Commencement Date and the last day of the month in which the Commencement Date occurs, on a per diem basis (calculated on a thirty (30) day month).

3.02 Base Annual Rent Adjustments. Base Annual Rent for the Remaining Space shall be increased annually, commencing on the first day of the month immediately following the first (1st) anniversary of the Commencement Date and on the first day of the month immediately following each anniversary of the Commencement Date thereafter during the remainder of the Term and commencing on January 1, 2008 for the Partial Space by multiplying the Base Annual Rent for the “Lease Year” immediately preceding the anniversary of the Commencement Date by (1.035). Tenant covenants and agrees to pay the aforesaid increase(s) in Base Annual Rent as of the effective date of each such increase. Upon request, Tenant shall execute from time to time either a Lease amendment agreement in recordable form or letter agreement, at Landlord's option, confirming the amount of such Base Annual Rent increase(s) and the effective date(s) thereof.

ARTICLE 4

TAXES

4.01 Definition of Taxes. The term “Taxes” shall mean (i) the total of all real estate taxes, taxes attributable to improvements within the Project or any part thereof made by any tenant or occupant or by Landlord, or attributable to the installation in the Project or any part thereof of fixtures, machinery or equipment by any tenant or by Landlord, assessment, water and sewer rents and other governmental impositions, levies and charges (of or by any federal, state municipal or other government or governmental or public authority, including, without limitation, any school district) of every kind and nature whatsoever, and each and every installment thereof, which shall or may be levied, assessed, imposed, become due and payable, or liens upon, or arise in connection with the use, occupancy or possession of, or grow due or payable out of, or for, the Project or any part thereof, or any land, buildings or other improvements therein except for estate, inheritance, succession, transfer, franchise or gift taxes, (ii) any special or other assessment or levy which is imposed upon the Project, (iii) any taxes attributable to or assessed by reason of any personal property located within the Project, except that which is assessed or imposed directly against any tenant and paid for by such tenant, (iv) any tax, charge, levy or excise on Base Annual Rent, “Common Area Expenses” (as hereinafter defined in Section 5.01), Additional Charges or other sums due hereunder or in any other lease of any part of the Project which are not otherwise paid by Tenant as provided in Section 4.05 hereinbelow, (v) any tax, impost, charge, levy or excise (except federal, state or local income taxes), however described, which is levied, assessed or imposed against Landlord on account of the rent or other charges payable herein or in any other lease of any part of the Project, (vi) any tax, impost, charge, levy or excise, however described (hereinafter called “Other Tax”) which is not included in Taxes pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 4.01 but which is or shall be a substitute, in whole or in part, for any item which is, was or would be or become included in “Taxes” pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 4.01 or which is or shall be intended to produce revenue for a purpose for which any item which is, was or would be or become included in “Taxes” pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 4.01 was, is or shall be intended to produce revenue (whether or not such Other Tax is or shall be levied, assessed, imposed or collected by the same body) and (vii) any and all costs, fees and expenses paid to attorneys, appraisers and consultants for the purpose of reviewing, negotiating, or contesting the amount of the Taxes, the valuation or assessment of the Project or any portion thereof for tax purposes and any and all costs, fees and expenses arising out of or by reason of any legal or administrative proceedings related to the Taxes. In the event that any part(s) of the Project is separately assessed for the purpose of real estate taxation, then, in such event, Landlord may at its option, at any time and from time to time after such separate assessment(s) is created, elect, which election(s) shall be subject to revocation(s), to exclude that portion of the Taxes allocable to any such separately assessed part(s) of the Project from Taxes under this Article 4. The term “Excluded Parcel(s)” as used herein shall mean those separately assessed part(s) of the Project during such period(s) of time when its or their, as the case may be, allocable share of Taxes is excluded from Taxes. During the period when Landlord elects not to include in Taxes that portion thereof allocable to any such separately assessed part(s) of the Project, for the purposes of calculating Tenant's Proportionate Share of Taxes as provided in Section 4.02 hereinbelow, the denominator shall not include that portion of the Rentable Area of the Project contained within the Excluded Parcel(s).

4.02 Tenant's Proportionate Share of Taxes. Commencing as of the date hereof and continuing throughout the Term, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as Additional Charges an amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Taxes.

4.03 Payment of Taxes. Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a written statement setting forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes for the balance of the calendar year in which the date hereof occurs. During each calendar year thereafter Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a written statement setting forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes for that calendar year. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each month from and after the date hereof an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of Landlord’s estimate of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes for that calendar year or partial calendar year, as the case may be. After Landlord pays the Taxes for a calendar year or partial calendar year Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement showing the total Taxes and computing Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such Taxes. If said statement shows that the sums paid by Tenant exceed Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes, Landlord shall either refund to Tenant the amount of such excess or permit Tenant to credit the amount thereof against subsequent payments of Taxes under this Article 4. If such statement shows that the sums paid by Tenant were less than Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes, Tenant shall pay the amount of such deficiency within twenty (20) days after demand therefor as an Additional Charge. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (except for a termination resulting from Tenant’s default), Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes shall be appropriately prorated to reflect Taxes which are due through the expiration or termination date. This provision shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Landlord shall have the right to use a twelve (12) month period other than a calendar year to calculate Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes. Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes shall be included in that figure set forth in Article 5.02 hereof.

4.04 Tax Refund. If Landlord shall receive a refund of any Taxes for a calendar year in which Tenant has already paid its Proportionate Share of such refunded Taxes, then Landlord shall pay to Tenant, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the net refund, (after deducting from such refund the costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, appraisal, accounting and legal fees of obtaining the same, to the extent that such costs and expenses were not included in the Taxes for such calendar year), calculated in the same manner as Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes was calculated for that calendar year. Tenant shall not institute any proceedings with respect to the assessed valuation of the Project or any part thereof or for a refund on any Taxes.

4.05 Additional Taxes. In addition to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes Tenant shall be responsible for and pay (i) before delinquency all taxes assessed or imposed during the Term against any occupancy interest or personal property of any kind which may be located within the Demised Premises, (ii) all sales taxes and any charge levy or excise on Base Annual Rent, Common Area Expenses, Additional Charges or any other sums due hereunder (except to the extent such sums shall already be paid as a portion of Tenant’s Taxes as provided for hereinabove).

ARTICLE 5

5.02 Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Area Expenses and Taxes. Commencing as of the date hereof and continuing through December 31, 2007, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as an Additional Charge an amount equal to 3.47% of the total amount of the Common Area Expenses plus applicable sales tax. Commencing on January 1, 2008 and continuing throughout the term of this Lease, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as an Additional Charge an amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the total amount of the Common Area Expenses plus applicable sales tax. Landlord may have heretofore elected to spread, and may hereafter elect to spread, the costs of any of the items of Common Area Expenses over such period of years as Landlord shall determine by amortizing them over such periods instead of including such costs entirely in the year in which expended or incurred, in which event, the annual amortization amount shall be deemed to be Common Area Expenses incurred during each year of the amortization period, notwithstanding that such costs may have been expended or incurred prior to the execution of this Lease. As of the date hereof, the Additional Charge for Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Area Expenses and Taxes is Nine and 50/100 Dollars ($9.50) per Rentable Square Foot. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Area Expenses shall not increase by greater than eight percent (8%), on a cumulative basis, from the previous year’s amount paid by Tenant with respect to “controllable expenses” only. For purposes of this Lease, the term “controllable expenses” shall mean all Common Area Expenses other than: (i) insurance premiums, (ii) Taxes, (iii) utility costs, (iv) the cost of replacing or repairing any damage caused by fire or other casualty which damage is not covered under any of Landlord’s insurance policies, and (v) any expense incurred by reason of strike, other labor trouble, governmental preemption of priorities or other controls or shortages of fuel, supplies, labor or materials, acts of God or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar, beyond Landlord’s reasonable control.

5.03 Payment of Common Area Expenses. Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a written statement setting forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Area Expenses for the balance of the calendar year in which the date hereof occurs. During each calendar year thereafter, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant written statement setting forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Area Expenses for that calendar year. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each month during the Term, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of Landlord’s estimate of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Area Expenses for that calendar year or partial calendar year, as the case may be. After the end of each calendar year or partial calendar year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement (the “Actual CAE Statement”) setting forth the actual Common Area Expenses and computing Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such Common Area Expenses. If the Actual CAE Statement shows that the sums paid by Tenant exceed Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Area Expenses, Landlord shall at Landlord’s option either refund to Tenant the amount of such excess or permit Tenant to credit the amount thereof against subsequent payments of Common Area Expenses under this Article 5. If the Actual CAE Statement shows that the sums paid by Tenant were less than Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Area Expenses, Tenant shall pay the amount of such deficiency within twenty (20) days after demand therefor. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (except for termination resulting from Tenant’s default), Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Area Expenses shall be appropriately prorated to reflect Common Area Expenses which are due through the expiration or termination date. This provision shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Landlord shall have the right to use a twelve (12) month period other than a calendar year to calculate Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Area Expenses.

5.04 Audit of Actual CAE Statement. For a period of ninety (90) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Actual CAE Statement, Tenant shall have the right to have a certified public accountant audit Landlord’s records pertaining to Common Area Expenses. Any overbilling discovered in the course of such audit shall be credited against subsequent payments of Common Area Expenses under this Article 5. If Tenant fails to elect to audit Landlord’s records pertaining to Common Area Expenses within such ninety (90) day period, such failure shall be deemed to be a waiver by Tenant with respect to such audit, and the Actual CAE Statement shall be binding.

ARTICLE 6

SECURITY DEPOSIT AND ADVANCE RENTAL

6.01 Security Deposit. Landlord acknowledges receipt from Tenant as of the date hereof of the sum of Sixty-Seven Thousand Twenty Nine and 45/100 Dollars ($67,029.45) to be held as security for the payment of Base Annual Rent, Common Area Expenses, Additional Charges and all other sums payable by Tenant under this Lease and for the faithful performance of all covenants of Tenant hereunder (hereinafter the “Security Deposit”). Provided that Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable grace or cure periods set forth herein, the Security Deposit, without interest, shall be refunded to Tenant at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, further provided that Tenant shall have made all such payments and performed all such covenants. Upon any default by Tenant hereunder, all or part of such Security Deposit may, at Landlord’s sole option, be applied on account of such default, and thereafter Tenant shall promptly restore the resulting deficiency in such Security Deposit. Tenant hereby waives the benefit of any provision of law requiring the Security Deposit to be held in escrow or in trust, and such Security Deposit shall be deemed to be the property of Landlord and may be commingled with Landlord’s other funds.

Tenant shall, upon Landlord’s notice thereof, pay to Landlord any remaining sums due for said first and last months of the Term in the event that the amount of Advance Rental for such months is insufficient to meet all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder for said months. Tenant hereby waives the benefit of any provision of law requiring such Advance Rental to be held in escrow or in trust, and said Advance Rental shall be deemed to be the property of Landlord and may be commingled with Landlord’s other funds. Tenant further waives the benefit of any provision of law requiring that interest be paid on such Advance Rental. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tenant is in default of any of the terms and provisions of this Lease beyond any applicable grace or cure period, then Landlord may apply the Advance Rental against any sums which may become due and owing as a result of said default.

(ii) Landlord may give written notice to Tenant (notwithstanding that such a notice is not otherwise required hereunder) that the Rent Commencement Date will be deemed to have commenced on the date, to be therein specified, when the same would have commenced if Tenant had timely complied with the provisions of this Lease in any way pertaining to the submission of Tenant’s Design Drawings, working drawings and specifications and the performance of Tenant’s Work.

(c) Tenant agrees to observe and comply with all of the obligations, standards, requirement, procedures, criteria and schedules set forth or referred to in Exhibit “D.”

(e) Landlord agrees to provide Tenant and its agents and professionals access to the Demised Premises from and after the date hereof, upon at least twenty-four (24) hours advanced notice to Landlord, for the sole purpose of taking measurements and for other design and/or construction related items, provided that any individual entering the Demised Premises shall be accompanied by a representative of Landlord. Tenant shall use such entry to confirm the square footage of the Demised Premises. The parties acknowledge and agree that the square footage shall be as set forth on the plans and specifications prepared by the architect engaged by Landlord.

7.04 Construction Liens. During the Term Tenant agrees to promptly pay the fees, costs, expenses and charges of all architects, engineers, designers, contractors, subcontractors, sub-subcontractors, laborers and materialmen (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Tenant’s Contractors”) performing services or labor or supplying material in connection with any Tenant’s Work or “Alterations” (as defined in Section 8.01 hereinbelow) within or to the Demised Premises so as to prevent the possibility of any construction lien being filed against the Demised Premises, the Project or any portion thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should a construction lien or claim of lien be filed against the Demised Premises or the Project or any portion thereof by any entity or Tenant’s Contractors performing Tenant’s Work or any Alterations, then Tenant shall cause the same to be discharged by deposit, bonding, payment or otherwise within ten (10) days after the earlier to occur of (i) Tenant’s knowledge thereof, and (ii) demand therefor by Landlord. Furthermore, Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord against any damage or loss incurred by Landlord as a result of the filing of any such construction lien or claim of lien. In the event Tenant fails to discharge such construction lien or claim of lien within said ten (10) day period, such failure shall be a material default hereunder, and Landlord may, at its option, pay and discharge such liens and claims of lien and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, which expenses shall include, without limitation, any attorney’s fees, paralegal’s fees and any and all costs associated therewith including litigation through all trial and appellate levels and any costs in posting bond to effect discharge or release of the lien. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as a consent on the part of Landlord to subject the Demised Premises, the Project or any portion thereof, to liability under the Construction Lien Law of the State of Florida as such law may now or may hereafter exist, it being expressly understood that the Demised Premises and the Project shall not be subject to such liability. Landlord hereby advises Tenant that pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 713, Florida Statutes, Tenant has the obligation to advise Tenant’s Contractors of the existence of this Section 7.04 of the Lease. If Tenant fails to so notify Tenant’s Contractors, it may render Tenant’s contract(s) with such Tenant’s Contractors voidable at the option of said Tenant’s Contractors. The provisions of this Section 7.04. shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

7.05 Tenant Improvement Allowance. Landlord shall provide to Tenant a construction allowance not to exceed Ten Dollars per rentable square foot of the Demised Premises or One Hundred Forty-One Thousand Eight Hundred Seventy and No/100 Dollars ($141,870.00) (the “Construction Allowance”) to be applied toward the total construction costs of Tenant’s improvements to the second floor of the Demised Premises and/or for the cost of the generator that Tenant is intending to install pursuant to Article 8.01(h) hereof. Tenant shall be responsible for any and all costs of construction in excess of the Construction Allowance. The Construction Allowance shall not be disbursed to Tenant in cash, but shall be paid by Landlord directly to the contractor upon receipt of an invoice for such work. To the extent that the Tenant fails to use the entire Construction Allowance to complete its improvements to the second floor of the Demised Premises, Landlord shall credit such excess to Tenant’s payments of Base Annual Rent until such Construction Allowance is exhausted. In the event Tenant fails to use the Construction Allowance within one (1) year from the Commencement Date, Landlord, at its option, may apply any unused portion of the Construction Allowance toward the Base Annual Rent due hereunder.

7.06 Landlord Administrative Fee. In the event Tenant engages Landlord to construct any improvements on behalf of Tenant, Tenant agrees that it shall pay Landlord a construction management fee in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the total cost of any such work performed on behalf of Tenant.

Any consent by Landlord to an Assignment, subletting, use or occupancy by others shall be held to apply only to the specific transaction thereby authorized and shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such Landlord’s consent to any subsequent Assignment, subletting, use or occupancy by others. If Tenant causes this Lease or any interest herein to be assigned or if the Demised Premises or any part thereof be sublet, used or occupied by anyone other than Tenant without Landlord’s prior written consent having been obtained in advance thereof and in accordance with the provisions hereof, then Landlord in addition to any other right or remedy it may have hereunder or at law or in equity may in its sole and absolute discretion collect sums due Landlord hereunder from the assignee, sublessee, licensee, user or occupant and apply the net amount collected to the rents herein reserved including, but not limited to, Base Annual Rent and Additional Charges, but no such assignment, subletting, use, licensing, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of the covenant herein against Assignment, subletting, use or occupancy by others, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant, user, licensee or occupant as Tenant hereunder, or constitute a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of any of the terms and provisions of this Lease.

Tenant shall secure an appropriate clause in, or an endorsement upon, such insurance policy, pursuant to which the insurance company waives subrogation or permits the insured, prior to any loss, to agree with a third party to waive any claim it may have against said third party without invalidating the coverage under the insurance policy. The waiver of subrogation or permission for waiver for any claim shall extend to Landlord and its agents, employees, any Managing Agent, and all additional insured parties. Tenant hereby releases Landlord, and its agents and employees, any managing agent, and all additional insured parties with respect to any claim (including, but not limited to any claim for negligence) which it might otherwise have against Landlord, or its agents or employees, any managing agent, or any additional insured party(ies) for loss, damage or destruction with respect to the Demised Premises, Tenant’s property, or the Project or any property therein by fire or other casualty (including rental value of business interest as the case may be).

(f) If, by reason of any failure of Tenant to comply with any provision of this Lease, the premiums on Landlord’s insurance on the Project or any portion thereof shall be higher than they otherwise would be, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, on demand, for that part of such premiums attributable to such failure on the part of Tenant which reimbursement shall be considered an Additional Charge hereunder.

(g) In addition to the insurance to be maintained pursuant to this Article 16, Tenant shall also during the Term, maintain in full force and effect a contractual liability endorsement to its commercial general liability insurance policy, which endorsement covers Tenant’s indemnity set forth in Article 17.

(h) Landlord, its agents and employees make no representation that the limits of liability specified to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article 16 are adequate to protect Tenant. If Tenant believes that any of such insurance coverage is inadequate, Tenant will obtain such additional insurance coverage as Tenant deems adequate, at Tenant’s sole expense. In the event of a loss sustained by a party which would have been covered by the insurance required to be maintained by said party under the terms of this Lease, then, for purposes of this Article 16, such party shall be deemed to have been fully insured with respect to the same and to have recovered the entire amount of its loss.

SUBORDINATION; ATTORNMENT

20.01 Subordination and Attornment.

(a) This Lease is subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the Project any portion thereof and Landlord’s interest therein and to the lien of any mortgages or trust deeds, now and hereafter in force against the Project or any portion thereof or Landlord’s interest therein, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidation and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds. Tenant shall at Landlord’s request execute such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination of this Lease to any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground leases or underlying leases.

(b) In the event of the sale, transfer or assignment of Landlord’s interest in all or any portion of the Project, Tenant shall attorn to the respective transferee, assignee or purchaser and recognize such party as Landlord under this Lease. In the event any mortgagee or ground lessor shall succeed to the right of Landlord, then on the request of such party succeeding to Landlord’s right (“Successor Landlord”) and upon such Successor Landlord’s agreement to accept Tenant’s attornment, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the Successor Landlord and Tenant on the same terms and conditions, except that the Successor Landlord will not be: (i) liable for any previous act or omission of Landlord or its predecessors in interest; (ii) responsible for any monies owing by Landlord to the credit of Tenant; (iii) subject to any credit, offset, claims, counterclaims, demands or defenses which Tenant may have against Landlord or its predecessors in interest; (iv) bound by any payment of Advance Rental, Base Annual Rent, Common Area Expenses, or Additional Charges which Tenant shall have made more than one (1) month in advance; (v) bound by any covenants or undertakings to complete construction of the Demised Premises; (vi) required to account for any security deposit other than the Security Deposit actually delivered to the Successor Landlord; (vii) bound by any obligation to make payment to Tenant or subject to any credit, except for services, repairs, maintenance and restorations provided under this Lease to be performed after the date of attornment and which landlords of first-class office buildings similar to the Project and located in the Palm Beach Gardens metropolitan area perform in their commercially reasonable judgment at their expense; or (viii) bound by any modification of this Lease made without the consent of the Successor Landlord.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s agreement to subordinate this Lease is subject to the express condition that so long as Tenant shall be current and in good standing in its obligations under this Lease, such mortgagees shall recognize Tenant and its rights under this Lease. Tenant agrees that it will execute: (i) a legally binding document with a mortgagee, in form acceptable to Landlord in its commercially reasonable judgment, confirming the provisions of this Section 20.01, and (ii) a subordination and non-disturbance agreement with any mortgagee in substantially the form required by such mortgagee. In the event Tenant, within ten (10) days after submission of any instrument contemplated by this Section 20.01(c), fails to execute the same, Landlord, in addition to any other remedy Landlord may have hereunder, in law or in equity for a default hereunder, is hereby authorized to execute the same as attorney-in-fact for Tenant.

ARTICLE 21

DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

21.01 Damage or Destruction.

(a) Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of (i) any accident or similar occurrence, fire, or other casualty in the Demised Premises, (ii) any damage to or defect in the Demised Premises, and (iii) any damage to or defect in any part of the sanitary, electrical, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, elevator or other systems located in or passing through the Demised Premises or any part thereof.

(b) If the Demised Premises shall be partially or totally damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (and if this Lease shall not be terminated as hereinafter provided), then Landlord shall restore and rebuild the Demised Premises to the extent as provided in Exhibit “C” and Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, perform all work necessary to restore the Demised Premises to its condition prior to such damage or destruction. All restoration and rebuilding by Landlord shall be done with reasonable dispatch after the occurrence of such damage or destruction; subject to “Unavoidable Delay” (as hereinafter defined in Section 31.14), and reasonable time for adjustment of insurance losses, and without obligation to employ overtime labor or other premium pay rates. All restoration and rebuilding by Tenant shall be deemed Alterations, as if such Alterations were Tenant’s Work, and shall be performed in accordance with, and governed by, the provisions of this Lease, with reasonable dispatch after the occurrence, and without interference with Landlord’s repair, and / or operation of the Project, or with other occupants of the Project.

(c) If the Demised Premises shall be totally or partially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, then the Base Annual Rent and Common Area Expenses shall be abated to the extent that the Demised Premises shall have been rendered untenantable, for the period from the date of such damage or destruction to the date when Landlord shall have substantially completed that portion of the repair and restoration work as required to be performed by Landlord pursuant to Section 21.01(b); provided, however, should Tenant reoccupy a portion of the Demised Premises during the period the restoration work is taking place and prior to the date when Landlord’s repair and restoration work is substantially completed then the Base Annual Rent and Common Area Expenses allocable to such re-occupied portion, based upon the proportion which the area of the re-occupied portion of the Demised Premises bears to the total area of the Demised Premises, shall be payable by Tenant from and after the date of such re-occupancy.

(d) If the building of which the Demised Premises forms a part or the Demised Premises shall be substantially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, or if such building shall be so damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (whether or not the Demised Premises are damaged or destroyed) that its repair or restoration requires more than one hundred eighty (180) days, exclusive of Unavoidable Delays, or the expenditure (as estimated by a reputable contractor or architect designated by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion) of more than twenty percent (20%) of the full insurable value of such building immediately prior to the casualty, then in any such case, Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice to such effect within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of such casualty in which event Landlord shall be released from any further obligation hereunder. For the purposes of this Section 21.01(d) only, “full insurable value” shall mean replacement cost less the cost of footings, foundations and other structures below the street and first floor of the building. Furthermore, for the purpose of this Section 21.01(d) only, “substantially damaged or destroyed” shall mean damage or destruction to fifty percent (50%) or more of the building of which the Demised Premises form a part, or the Demised Premises, as the case may be.

(e) Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease and no damages, compensation or claim shall be payable by Landlord for inconvenience, loss of business or annoyance arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of the Demised Premises or of the building of which the Demised Premises form a part; nor shall Landlord be required to repair, or replace, any Tenant’s Work, Alterations, Tenant’s Property, or any other property of Tenant or any other party.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if the proceeds of Landlord’s insurance recovered or recoverable as a result of the damage or destruction shall be insufficient to pay fully for the cost of repair and restoration of the Demised Premises or the building of which the Demised Premises form a part or if the Demised Premises or the building of which the Demised Premises form a part, shall be damaged or destroyed as a result of a risk which is not covered by Landlord’s insurance, then Landlord shall have the right by notice to Tenant given within one hundred twenty (120) days after said occurrence to elect to terminate this Lease in which event Landlord shall be released from any further obligation hereunder.

(g) In the event that Landlord terminates this Lease pursuant to this Article 21, then the Term shall expire by lapse of time and Tenant shall vacate the Demised Premises and surrender the same to Landlord on the thirtieth (30th) day after Landlord gives such notice terminating this Lease, and neither party shall have any further liability to the other.

(h) The provisions of this Section 21.01 shall be considered an express agreement governing any instance of damage or destruction of the Project or the Demised Premises by fire or other casualty, and any law now or hereafter in force providing for such a contingency in the absence of express agreement shall have no application.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Landlord shall not be liable or responsible for, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord and its partners, officers, directors, agents and employees from, any and all liability or responsibility to Tenant or any party claiming by, through or under Tenant, by way of subrogation or otherwise, for any injury, loss or damage to any property of Tenant, including, without limitation, Tenant’s Property, covered by a valid and collectible fire insurance policy with extended coverage endorsement. Tenant shall require its insurer(s) to include in all of Tenant’s Insurance policies which could give rise to a right of subrogation against Landlord a clause or endorsement whereby the insurer(s) shall waive any rights of subrogation against Landlord, and Tenant shall pay any additional premium required thereby.

(j) The proceeds payable under all fire and other hazard insurance policies maintained by Landlord on the Project shall belong to and be the property of Landlord. Tenant shall not have any interest in such proceeds. Tenant agrees to look to its own fire and hazard insurance policies in the event of damage to Tenant’s Work, Alterations, Tenant’s Property, or any other property of Tenant.

ARTICLE 22

EMINENT DOMAIN

22.01 Eminent Domain.

(a) If all of the building of which the Demised Premises forms a part or all of the Demised Premises shall be taken by any public or quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain, condemnation or expropriation, or in the event of a conveyance in lieu thereof, then this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall terminate as of the date the right to possession shall vest in the condemning authority, and the Base Annual Rent and Additional Charges shall be prorated and adjusted as of such date.

(b) If any part of the Project which materially affects the Project or Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Demised Premises shall be so taken, this Lease shall be unaffected by such taking, except that Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice to that effect within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of such taking, and this Lease shall terminate on the date of such notice and the Base Annual Rent and Additional Charges shall be prorated and adjusted as of such termination date and Landlord shall be released from any further obligation hereunder.

(c) If any part of the Project which materially adversely affects Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Demised Premises shall be so taken, this Lease shall be unaffected by such taking except that Tenant, at its option, may terminate this Lease by giving Landlord notice to that effect within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the taking, and this Lease shall terminate on the date of such notice and the Base Annual Rent and Additional Charges shall be prorated and adjusted as of such termination date and Landlord shall be released from any further obligation hereunder.

(d) Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award or payment in connection with any taking of the Project and any portion thereof (including the Demised Premises and any portion thereof), without deduction therefrom for any estate vested in Tenant by this Lease and Tenant shall receive no part of such award or payment. Tenant hereby expressly assigns to Landlord all of its right, title and interest in and to every such award or payment. Tenant may, however, pursue a claim against the condemning authority for a separate award for removal expenses, business dislocation damages and moving expenses provided such award shall not decrease the size of any award Landlord may be entitled to.

(e) In the event of a taking which does not result in a termination of this Lease, Landlord shall upon receipt of the award in condemnation or in consideration for the conveyance made in lieu of condemnation restore that portion of the Demised Premises remaining as near to its former condition as the circumstances will permit, and restore the building of which the Demised Premises form a part to the extent necessary to constitute that portion of such building which remains to a complete architectural unit; provided, however, that Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall make all necessary repairs and alterations of Tenant’s fixtures, floor coverings, furniture, equipment, decorations, signs and contents.

(f) If any part of the Demised Premises is so taken or conveyed, and the Lease is not terminated, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except that the Base Annual Rent shall be reduced in the same proportion that the Rentable Area of the Demised Premises so taken, or conveyed, bears to the Rentable Area of the Demised Premises (the “Eminent Domain Reduction”). The Eminent Domain Reduction shall commence upon the date which is the later to occur of the date that (i) Tenant is required to surrender possession of the part taken, or conveyed, or (ii) the actual date that Tenant Surrenders the space to Landlord which is the subject of the Eminent Domain Reduction.

(c) The failure by Tenant to execute and deliver the Estoppel Certificate as provided hereinabove shall be a material default under this Lease.

(d) If Tenant vacates or abandons the Demised Premises, ceases its business operations, or removes or attempts to remove any property therefrom other than in the ordinary course of business or fails to continuously occupy and use the entire Demised Premises for the Permitted Use as provided in Section 9.01 or assigns this Lease, sublets the Demised Premises, or any portion thereof, or permits or allows the occupancy or use of the Demised Premises in violation of Article 10 hereinabove.

26.03 Termination. Upon or after the occurrence of any one or more of such Events of Default, Landlord, at its option, may give Tenant notice that this Lease will terminate on a date to be specified therein, which shall not be less than five (5) days after the date of such notice and, in either event, Tenant shall have no right to avoid the cancellation or termination by payment of any sum due or by the performance of any condition, term or covenant broken.

26.04 Rights of Possession. In the case of any Events of Default; or if the notice provided for above in Section 26.03 shall have been given and this Lease shall be terminated, then in all or any of such events, in addition to and not in lieu of all other remedies of Landlord, Landlord may re-enter the Demised Premises by summary proceedings, or otherwise, and dispossess Tenant and the legal representatives of Tenant and/or other occupants of the Demised Premises, and remove and dispose of (by sale or otherwise) all property located therein and repossess and enjoy the Demised Premises, together with all Alterations, additions and improvements, all without being liable to prosecution or damages therefor, and without any obligation to account for sums received, if any.

26.05 Additional Remedies of Landlord.

(a) In the case of any Events of Default, and Landlord re-enters, terminates and/or dispossesses Tenant by summary proceedings or otherwise, in addition to, and not in lieu of all other remedies which Landlord has under this Lease or which may be available to Landlord, at law or in equity: (i) the Base Annual Rent and all Additional Charges shall become due and owing by Tenant and be paid up to the time of such re-entry, dispossess and/or termination, (ii) Landlord may relet the Demised Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for a term which may be less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term, and (iii) Tenant or the legal representative of Tenant shall also pay Landlord, at Landlord's option and whether or not Landlord has terminated this Lease, as damages for the failure of Tenant to observe and perform said Tenant's covenants here in contained, for each month of the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term, any deficiency between the sum of (a) the monthly installment(s) of Base Annual Rent and Additional Charges that would have been payable for the calendar month in question but for such re-entry or termination, and (b) the net amount, if any, of the rents actually collected on account of the lease or leases of the Demised Premises for such month. In computing such damages there shall be added to the said deficiency all non-recurring sums and charges remaining unpaid and which are due or to become due from Tenant pursuant to this Lease and such reasonable expenses as Landlord may incur in connection with reletting, such as court costs, attorney's fees, paralegal's fees, litigation expenses through all trial and appellate levels and disbursements therefor, brokerage and management fees and commissions, cost of putting and keeping the Demised Premises in good order and costs of preparing the Demised Premises for reletting as hereinafter provided, and any such expenses as Landlord may incur in order to cure any breach by Tenant. Any such damages shall be paid in monthly installments by Tenant on the dates that Base Annual Rent would otherwise have been due as set forth herein and any suit brought to collect the amount of the deficiency for any month shall not prejudice in any way the rights of Landlord to collect the deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar proceeding or to elect to collect a lump sum amount for its damages. Landlord, at Landlord's option, may make such alterations, repairs, replacements and/or decorations in the Demised Premises as Landlord considers advisable or necessary for the purpose of reletting the Demised Premises, and the making of such alterations, repairs, replacements and/or decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to relet the Demised Premises, or in the event that the Demised Premises or a portion thereof is relet, for failure to collect any sums due under such reletting.

(b) In case of any default under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to immediately accelerate and declare due and owing all Base Annual Rent and all additional rent for the balance of the Lease Term, including, but not limited to all Additional Charges and any other sums remaining due under the Lease for the remainder of the balance of the Lease Term, together with all unamortized costs of Landlord associated with this Lease including, but not limited to, inducements, tenant improvement allowances, leasing commissions, costs of marketing the space or advertising the availability of the space and all legal fees.

(c) In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of the covenants or provisions hereof, Landlord shall have the right of injunction and the right to invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if re-entry, summary proceedings and other remedies were not herein provided. All remedies available to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease and at law and in equity shall be cumulative and may be pursued or enforced concurrently.

(d) Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Demised Premises by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants or conditions of this Lease or otherwise. The words “re-enter” and “re-entry” as used in this Lease are not restricted to their technical legal meaning.

(e) In the event that Tenant defaults hereunder and Landlord gives notice of default to Tenant, then whether or not Tenant cures such default, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand a fee of Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($500.00) representing an agreed upon administrative fee which shall include the processing by Landlord of any such default notice. The aforementioned fee shall be applicable to all default notices which are given.

(f) In the event Tenant furnishes Landlord a check which is not honored for any reason, Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon demand, a fee equal to the greater of (i) One Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($100.00), or (ii) the service charge Landlord must pay to its bank by reason of such check. The fee is an agreed upon administrative fee to Landlord to reimburse Landlord for having to advise Tenant of the dishonored check and pay a service charge to Landlord’s bank. A fee shall be assessed for each dishonored check.

(g) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for attorney’s fees, paralegal’s fees and litigation expenses through all trial and appellate levels, court costs and related fees and expenses which are incurred or expended by reason of Tenant’s failure to comply with any of the terms and provisions of this Lease, or by virtue of any Event of Default.

26.06 Abandonment. Tenant shall assume possession of the Demised Premises at the commencement of the Term and shall not vacate or abandon the Demised Premises at any time during the Term. If Tenant shall abandon, vacate or surrender the Demised Premises, or shall be dispossessed by process of law, or otherwise, any personal property which shall belong to Tenant and which shall be left on the Demised Premises shall, at the option of Landlord, be deemed to be abandoned and title thereto shall pass to Landlord.

31.06 Accord and Satisfaction.

This Lease, the Exhibits and Rider, if any, attached hereto and forming a part hereof set forth all the covenants, promises, agreements, conditions and understandings between Landlord and Tenant concerning the Demised Premises and the Project and there are no covenants, promises, agreements, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between them other than as herein set forth. All prior communications, negotiations, arrangements, representations, agreements and understandings whether oral or written between the parties hereto, and their representatives, are merged herein, and extinguished, this Lease superseding and canceling the same. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant unless reduced to writing and signed by both parties. The submission by Landlord to Tenant of this Lease in draft form shall be deemed submitted solely for Tenant’s consideration and not for acceptance and execution. Such submission shall have no binding force or effect, shall not constitute an option for the leasing of the Demised Premises herein described, nor confer any rights or impose any obligations upon either party. The submission by Landlord of this Lease for execution by Tenant and the actual execution and delivery thereof by Tenant to Landlord shall similarly have no binding force and effect unless and until Landlord shall have executed this Lease and a duplicate original thereof shall have been forwarded to Tenant or its representative or delivered in person to Tenant or its representative. Tenant hereby acknowledges that: (a) this Lease contains no restrictive covenants or exclusives in favor of Tenant; (b) this Lease shall not be deemed or interpreted to contain, by implication or otherwise, any warranty, representation or agreement whatsoever on the part of Landlord, except as herein expressly provided.

31.08 Captions and Section Numbers. The captions and Table of Contents appearing in this Lease are inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or intent of the Sections or Articles of this Lease nor in any way affect this Lease.

31.09 Interpretation. It is the intent of the parties hereto that if any term, covenant or condition of this Lease is capable of two constructions, one of which would render the provision void and the other of which would render the provision valid, then the provision shall have the meaning which shall render it valid. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. The parties hereto both acknowledge and agree that they are sophisticated and have each negotiated all of the terms and provisions of this Lease such that it would not be reasonable for either party to be considered as the drafter of this Lease for purposes of construing any of the terms and provisions hereof “against the drafter.”

31.10 Recording. Tenant shall not record this Lease nor any memorandum or affidavit making reference to this Lease. Any such recording by Tenant may, at Landlord’s option, be deemed a Default by Tenant hereunder. If Landlord requests, the parties shall execute and acknowledge a short form of lease for recording purposes which may be recorded at Landlord’s expense.

31.11 Tenant Defined; Use of Pronoun. The word “Tenant” shall be deemed and taken to mean each and every person or party mentioned as a Tenant herein, be the same one or more; and if there shall be more than one Tenant, any notice required or permitted by the terms of this Lease may be given by or to any one thereof, and shall have the same force and effect as if given by or to all thereof. The use of the neuter singular pronoun to refer to Landlord or Tenant shall be deemed a proper reference even though Landlord or Tenant may be an individual, a partnership, a corporation, or a group of two or more individuals or corporations The necessary grammatical changes required to make the provisions of this Lease apply in the plural sense where there is more than one Landlord or Tenant and to either corporations, associations, partnerships, or individuals, males, or females, shall in all instances be assumed as though in each case fully expressed.

31.12 Covenant to Pay Rent; Late Charge. Tenant shall, without any demand therefor and without setoff, pay the Base Annual Rent and Additional Charges at the times, at the places and in the manner herein provided. If any payment or any part thereof to be made by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the terms hereof shall become overdue for a period in excess of five (5) days, a “late charge” of Five Cents ($.05) for each dollar overdue may be charged by Landlord for the purpose of defraying expenses incidental to handling such delinquent payment, together with interest from the date when such payment or part thereof was due at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum, or such lesser amount or rate as represents the maximum amount or rate Landlord lawfully may charge, shall accrue and thereafter be due and owing under this Lease as an Additional Charge hereunder. Said interest shall continue to accrue until such time as full payment of such payment, or any part thereof, is made together with any interest that has accrued prior to such payment. Nothing herein shall be construed as waiving any rights of Landlord arising out of any defaults of Tenant by reason of Landlord’s assessing or accepting any such late payment, late charge or interest; the right to collect the late charge and interest assessed herein is separate and apart from any rights relating to remedies of Landlord after default by Tenant in the performance or observance of the terms of this Lease.

31.13 Unavoidable Delays. Landlord shall not be deemed in default with respect to the performance of any of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease, if Landlord’s failure to perform such terms, covenants or conditions is due to any strike, lockout, labor dispute, shortages of materials or labor, governmental restrictions, fire or other casualty, governmental regulations or controls, litigation or other cause, similar or dissimilar to those enumerated in this Section 31.13, beyond the control of Landlord (all of the causes set forth above being herein called “Unavoidable Delays”). Landlord reserves the right, without any liability to Tenant and without affecting Tenant’s covenants and obligations hereunder, to stop performing any of the services Landlord is required to perform under this Lease, whenever and for so long as may be necessary by reason of any Unavoidable Delays. All time periods within which Landlord is required to perform under the terms of this Lease shall be extended for such periods of time as such performance is impaired, restricted, delayed or prohibited by reason of Unavoidable Delays.

31.14 Conveyances. Landlord reserves the right at any time and from time to time, to convey all, or any portion of, the Project, or any interest therein to any individual or entity, and after any such conveyance(s), the rights granted to Tenant herein shall not be impaired by reason of such conveyance(s). Tenant covenants to execute from time to time, such instruments as are reasonably required by Landlord, any grantee or any mortgagee, in order to enable Landlord to make the conveyance(s) contemplated by this Section 31.14.

31.15 Intentionally Deleted.

31.16 Radon Gas. The following disclosure is required by Florida Statutes, Section 404.056(8): “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.” Landlord disclaims any and all representations and warranties as to the absence or presence of radon gas or radon gas-producing conditions in connection with the Demised Premises.

(the “Act”), analogous state and local laws, and all rules and regulations promulgated to further the purpose of and to enforce the Act as such Act has been or shall be modified by Florida Statutes and rules and regulations of applicable State and/or local agencies.

31.19 Time of the Essence. It is expressly agreed by Landlord and Tenant that time is of the essence with respect to this Lease and each and every provision hereof.

31.20 Confidentiality. Except as otherwise required by governmental regulatory authority or court order, Landlord and Tenant agree to keep all current and future discussions and correspondence as well as this Lease and all documents related thereto confidential at all times and shall neither discuss nor divulge any information contained therein to anyone except each other and each party’s attorneys.

31.21 Survival of Obligations. Upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease, neither party shall have any further obligation or liability to the other except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, and except for such obligations as by their nature or under the circumstances can only be, or by the provisions of this Lease, may be, performed after such expiration or other termination; and, in any event, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, any liability for any payment hereunder due from Tenant which shall have accrued to, or with respect to any period ending at the time of, expiration, or other termination of this Lease, shall survive the expiration, or other termination, of this Lease.

31.22 Governing Law and Venue, and Attorney’s Fees. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, and venue for any action hereunder shall be in Palm Beach County, Florida. Should any action or proceeding be commenced to enforce any of the provisions of this Lease, or in connection with its meaning, the prevailing party in such action shall be awarded, in addition to any other relief it may obtain, its reasonable costs and expenses, not limited to taxable costs, and reasonable attorney's fees through all trial and appellate levels.

31.23 Light, Air, and Other Structures

Tenant covenants and agrees that no diminution of light, air or view or other use rights including but not limited to uncovered parking spaces by any structure which may hereafter be erected (whether or not by Landlord) shall entitle Tenant to any reduction of rent under this Lease, shall result in any liability of Landlord to Tenant, or shall in any other way affect this Lease or Tenant’s obligations hereunder. This Lease does not grant any rights, including but limited to rights to light, air, or view over property adjacent, adjoining, or contiguous to the land on which the Project is located.
