THIS LEASE AGREEMENT (this “Lease”) is made and entered into as of this 18th day of November, 2002, by and between NORTH FEDERAL HIGHWAY, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), having its principal office at c/x Xxxx Xxxxx Real Estate Services, Inc., 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxxxx X.

WITNESSETH:
That in consideration of the rents, covenants and conditions herein set forth, Landlord and Tenant covenant, promise and agree as follows:
Section 1. Premises, Term.
1.1 Project, Building, Common Areas.
As used herein, the term “Project” collectively means the existing twelve (12) story office building and one (1) story annex building known at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx containing approximately 412,296 rentable square feet (collectively, the “Building”), and located on, and related to, certain land lying and being in the Cities of Fort Lauderdale and Pompano, Broward County, Florida, as more particularly described on Exhibit A-1 attached hereto (the “Real Estate”), together with the Common Areas (as defined in Schedule 1.1 attached hereto) and other improvements which are now, or may hereafter be, located on the Real Estate. Tenant, its agents, employees and invitees, shall have a non-exclusive license and right to use the Common Areas in accordance with the terms of this Lease and the Rules and Regulations (defined in Section 1.5(D) below).
All terms capitalized but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them on Schedule 1.1 attached hereto and made a part hereof.
1.2 Premises.
Landlord hereby demises unto Tenant, and Tenant rents from Landlord, all those certain premises on the seventh (7th) and eighth (8th) floors of the Building as outlined by cross-hatching on the floor plans attached hereto as Exhibit A-2 (collectively, the “Premises”) and is commonly referred to as Xxxxx 000 xxx Xxxxx 000. Landlord and Tenant stipulate and agree for all purposes under this Lease that the Premises contains fifty-one thousand four hundred ninety eight (51,498) rentable square feet (“Rentable Square Feet”), based upon the floor plans attached hereto as Exhibit A-2. The calculation of the Rentable Square Feet shall be binding on the parties, notwithstanding any different measure thereof that may be made thereafter by or on behalf of either party pursuant to a measurement of the Premises based upon current BOMA standards. The core factor utilized to calculate the Rentable Square Feet of the Premises was based upon a core factor of 14.245% for multi-tenant floors and a core factor of 11.635% for single tenant floors.
1
1.3 Term.
This Lease shall be effective from the date hereof (the “Commencement Date”) and the term of this Lease (the “Lease Term”) shall commence upon the Rent Commencement Date (defined in Section 2.1 (A) below) and shall terminate upon the date that is ninety-three (93) months from the last day of the month in which said Rent Commencement Date shall occur (the “Expiration Date”), unless sooner terminated as provided herein or extended as provided in Section 1.4 hereof.
1.4 Option to Extend.
Subject to the terms of this Section 1.4 and Schedule 1.4, Tenant shall have two (2) options (an “Option”) to extend the term of this Lease for an additional period of five (5) years each (an “Option Period”), with each such Option Period to begin the day after the Expiration Date of the initial term or the preceding Option Period, on the same terms and conditions set forth herein, except that (i) no Rent concessions, lease buyouts, tenant allowances or limitations on tax or expense pass-throughs granted with respect to the Lease Term hereof shall be applicable to the Option Period, (ii) the Tax Base (as defined in Schedule 1.1 shall be the Taxes due and payable with respect to the Project for the calendar year in which the Option Period commences and the Expense Base shall be the Expenses attributable to the Project for the calendar year in which the Option Period commences and (iii) Base Rent shall be adjusted as set forth in Schedule 1.4.
1.5 Use; Compliance: Operation.
(A) Permitted Use. Tenant shall occupy and use the Premises only for general office use with related ancillary facilities such as a break or lunch room which may contain coffee machines, a refrigerator, dishwasher, vending machines, ice machines, toasters and microwaves for use by Tenant’s employees but no ranges, ovens or other kitchen facilities (the “Permitted Use”).
(B) Prohibited Use. Tenant shall not allow use of the Premises which will negatively affect the costs of coverage of Landlord’s insurance on the Project. So long as Tenant complies with the Permitted Use Tenant shall not be deemed to have a negative affect on the cost of coverage of Landlord’s insurance on the Project. Tenant shall not allow any flammable or explosive liquids or materials to be kept in the Premises. Tenant shall not allow any use of the Premises which will cause the value or utility of any part of the Premises or the Project to diminish or which will interfere with any other tenant or use of the Common Areas in the operation of the Project by Landlord. So long as Tenant complies with the Permitted Use, Tenant shall not be liable to Landlord for any claims that Tenant has caused the value or utility of any part of the Premises or the Project to diminish. Tenant shall not permit any nuisance or waste upon the Premises or the Project, or allow any offensive noise, vibrations or odor to eminent from the Premises.
(C) Compliance. Landlord shall be responsible to ensure that the Premises are in compliance with the ADA (defined in Section 5.1) and all other Governmental Regulations as of the Completion Date (defined in Exhibit E) and Landlord shall utilize commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Premises to be in compliance with the ADA (defined in Section 5.1) and all other Governmental Regulations as of the Completion Date (defined in Exhibit E). The issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy for the Premises shall be deemed evidence of compliance. Upon the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall observe and comply and cause the Premises to comply with all Governmental Regulations. However, in the event such Governmental Regulations shall either: (i) require the removal of Hazardous Materials (as defined in Schedule 1.1) from the Premises which Tenant is required to
2
remove pursuant to Section 15 below; or (ii) require structural changes to the Premises that are not the Landlord’s obligation to make and pay for pursuant to Section 5.2; then the same may, at Landlord’s option, be complied with by Landlord on behalf of Tenant. If such work by Landlord relates to the Premises or is required solely on account of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within thirty (30) days of written demand for the cost of such compliance. If such compliance relates to the Premises as well as other portions of the Project, Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand its proportionate share of the actual cost of such compliance as Additional Rent (defined in Section 2.2(A) below).
(D) Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall observe and comply, and shall cause Tenant Parties to observe and comply, with the rules and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit B, together with any reasonable amendments, modifications or additions thereto (the “Rules and Regulations”). Landlord shall not amend the Rules and regulations in a manner that will deprive Tenant of any of its rights under this Lease or materially increase Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable for failure of any person to obey such Rules and Regulations but shall apply all such rules in a uniform and non-discriminatory manner. Landlord shall utilize its good faith efforts to enforce such Rules and Regulations against all tenants of the Building and any person, but the failure of Landlord to enforce any Rules and Regulations shall not constitute a waiver thereof or relieve Tenant from compliance therewith. In the event of a conflict between the terms and provisions of this Lease and the Rules and Regulations, the terms and provisions of this Lease shall govern and prevail in each and every instance. Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice of any amendments, modifications or additions to the Rules and Regulations at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date for any such change.
Section 2. Rent.
2.1 Base Rent.
(A) Amount. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without demand, in accordance with the terms hereof, the annual rentals set out on Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Base Rent”). Such Base Rent shall be paid in equal monthly installments on or before the first day of each month, in advance, commencing upon the Rent Commencement Date, subject to the Free Rent Period (defined in Exhibit C) and the rent abatement provisions of Section 2.1(E) below, and continuing through the last calendar month which falls within the Lease Term. In the event the Rent Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, then the Base Rent due for such first month of the Lease Term shall be prorated based upon the number of days in that month in which the Rent Commencement Date falls. “Rent Commencement Date” shall mean the date Landlord receives a temporary certificate of occupancy or certificate of occupancy for the entire Premises and tenders possession of the entire Premises to Tenant, subject to the completion of items on the Punch List (defined in Exhibit E), pursuant to Section 3.1 below, and subject to adjustment as a result of Tenant Delay (defined in Exhibit E), as provided in Exhibit E. Landlord and Tenant shall execute and deliver a commencement certificate (the “Commencement Certificate”) in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto confirming the Rent Commencement Date and the Expiration Date.
(B) Early Occupancy. In the event Landlord achieves substantial completion with respect to any portion of the Premises, as evidenced by the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy and tenders that portion of the Premises to Tenant pursuant to Section 3.1 below, and (2) Tenant opens for business from that portion of the Premises, Tenant shall not be required to pay to Landlord Rent (defined in Section 2. 1(C)) on that portion of the Premises until the Rent Commencement Date (i.e. no Rent shall be due with respect to the Premises prior to the Rent Commencement Date notwithstanding Tenant’s use of portions of the Premises prior to the Rent Commencement Date).
3
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the fact that Landlord has tendered a portion of the Premises to Tenant prior to the Rent Commencement Date (defined in Section 2.1(A)) shall not effect the Lease Term or the Rent Commencement Date which shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.1(A). In the event the Completion Date (defined in Exhibit E) has not occurred by April 14, 2003 with respect to the entire Premises, Landlord shall utilize commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Work (defined in Exhibit E) to be substantially completed, as evidenced by the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy or certificate of occupancy for not less than 30,000 Rentable Square Feet of the Premises on or before April 14, 2003, as said date is extended as a result of Tenant Delay (defined in Exhibit E) and as a result of Force Majeure (defined in Schedule 1.1) and tenders that portion of the Premises to Tenant, subject to the completion of items on the Punch List (defined in Exhibit E), pursuant to Section 3.1 below with respect to that portion of the Premises tendered by Landlord to Tenant. The sole remedy for the failure of Landlord to substantially complete not less than 30,000 Rentable Square Fee of the Premises and tender possession of that portion of the Premises to Tenant on or before April 14, 2003, as said date is extended as a result of Tenant Delay (defined in Exhibit E) and as a result of Force Xxxxxx (defined in Schedule 1.1) is the rent abatement provided in Section 2.1(E) below.
(C) Manner of Payments. The payment of Base Rent, Additional Rent and the payment of any other sums due from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease (herein, Base Rent, Additional Rent and all such other sums due from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease are collectively referred to as “Rent”) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America and made payable to Landlord or such other person and at such place as Landlord shall designate in writing from time to time. Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent is independent of any obligation of Landlord hereunder and shall be paid without abatement (except as provided in Section 2.1(E) and Section 5.5), reduction, demand or set-off, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent (whenever arising or accruing) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease on account of a Tenant default, but if the termination is as a result of a termination right specifically granted to Tenant hereunder, the obligation to pay Rent shall survive such termination but only as to the Rent accruing prior to the effective date of such termination.
(D) Late Payments. Any amount not paid by Tenant when due shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”) from the due date until paid in full. In addition, with respect to either (i) Tenant’s second and each subsequent delinquent payment in any twelve-month period or (ii) Tenant’s second consecutive and each subsequent consecutive delinquent payments, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the delinquent sum. Such late charge shall be in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder or at law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees to waive the first late fee incurred by Tenant during any twelve-month period.
(E) Rent Abatement. If Landlord does not achieve substantial completion with respect to at least thirty thousand (30,000) Rentable Square Feet of the Premises, as evidenced by the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy or certificate of occupancy, by April 14, 2003, as said date is extended as a result of Tenant Delay (defined in Exhibit E), and as a result of Force Majeure (defined in Schedule 1.1) and tender possession of same to Tenant, subject to the completion of items on the Punch List (defined in Exhibit E) as provided in Section 2.1(B) above, Tenant shall be entitled to one (1) days rent abatement for each day thereafter of delay until Landlord has achieved substantial completion with respect to at least thirty thousand (30,000) Rentable Square Feet of the Premises as evidenced by the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy or a certificate of occupancy as provided in Section 2.1(B) above, and tender possession of same to Tenant, subject to the completion of items on the Punch List (defined in Exhibit E). In addition, in the event that the Completion Date (defined in Exhibit E) does not occur on or before September 14, 2003, as said date is extended as a result of Tenant Delay (defined in Exhibit E) and as a result of Force Majeure (defined in Schedule 1.1), Tenant
4
shall be entitled to two (2) days rent abatement for each day thereafter of delay until the Completion Date (defined in Exhibit E) has occurred.
(F) Termination. In the event that the Completion Date (as defined in Exhibit E) does not occur on or before January 12, 2004, as said date is extended as a result of Tenant Delay (defined in Exhibit E) and as a result of Force Majeure (defined in Schedule 1.1), Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving Landlord thirty (30) days written notice of termination and, in such event, this Lease shall automatically terminate at the end of said thirty (30) day period.
(G) Prepaid Rent. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, the first monthly installment of Rent shall be payable by Tenant upon the Rent Commencement Date and shall be applied by Landlord to pay the first monthly installment of Base Rent due after the Free Rent Period (defined in Exhibit C).
(H) Temporary Space. If Landlord does not achieve substantial completion with respect to at least thirty thousand (30,000) Rentable Square Feet of the Premises, as evidenced by the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy or certificate of occupancy, and tender possession of same to Tenant, subject to the completion of items on the Punch List (defined in Exhibit E), by June 13, 2003, as said date is extended as a result of Tenant Delay (defined in Exhibit E), and as a result of Force Majeure (defined in Schedule 1.1), Landlord shall provide Tenant with at least fifteen thousand (15,000) Rentable Square Feet of space in the Building (the “Temporary Space”) for use by Tenant, on the same terms and provisions provided in this Lease until the earlier to occur of the Completion Date (defined in Exhibit E) or the date Tenant terminates this Lease in accordance with Section 2.1(F), except Tenant shall have no obligation to pay Rent (defined in Section 2.1(C) with respect to the Temporary Space.
2.2 Additional Rent.
(A) Amount. Commencing on the first day of the calendar year (the “Additional Rent Commencement Year”) immediately following the Base Year (as defined in Schedule 1.1), Tenant shall pay to Landlord at the same time as it is required to make payment of Base Rent, an amount (the “Additional Rent”) equal to Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of each of Excess Taxes and Excess Expenses (each as defined in Schedule 1.1) attributable to the Project for the Additional Rent Commencement Year and each calendar year thereafter during the Lease Term. In all events, Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay before delinquent all municipal, county, state and federal taxes assessed during the Lease Term against any leasehold interest of Tenant or any property owned by Tenant and located in the Premises.
(B) Payment. The Additional Rent shall be paid as follows:
(1) For each calendar year commencing with the Additional Rent Commencement Year, Landlord may notify Tenant by a written statement as to monthly installments on account of Additional Rent payable by Tenant based on Landlord’s reasonable estimate of each of Excess Taxes and Excess Expenses for such calendar year. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant of the amount of any monthly installments for a calendar year, Tenant shall pay monthly installments on account of Additional Rent at the rate last paid by Tenant until service of Landlord’s notice. The amount of such installments may be adjusted by Landlord once during any calendar year upon notice to Tenant. On the first day of the calendar month after Landlord’s notice of any such adjustment, Tenant shall, if such adjustment increases the amount of Additional Rent owed to Landlord (in addition to the revised monthly estimate) pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days of such notice in an amount sufficient to bring total payments to date on account of Additional Rent current, so that such total payments for the then current calendar year will equal Landlord’s revised estimate of Tenant’s Additional Rent. If Landlord’s notice of adjustment decreases the amount of Additional Rent owed to Landlord, Landlord shall pay to Tenant
5
within thirty (30) days of such notice an amount sufficient to reimburse Tenant for any Additional Rent paid by Tenant in excess of Landlord’s revised estimate of Tenant’s Additional Rent.
(2) If the last Lease Year is not a full twelve-month period, Additional Rent for such Lease Year shall be prorated based upon the number of days falling in the Lease Term.
(3) Within five (5) months after the end of the Base Year, Landlord shall determine the actual Taxes and Expenses for the Base Year and shall promptly notify Tenant of the Tax Base and the Expense Base (as defined in Schedule 1.1). Within five (5) months after the expiration of each calendar year commencing with the Additional Rent Commencement Year, Landlord shall determine the actual Taxes and Expenses for the prior Lease Year, and shall notify Tenant within thirty (30) days thereafter as to the amount thereof and the Additional Rent resulting therefrom (an “Annual Additional Rent Notice”) and an itemized breakdown of each of Taxes and Expenses and Tax Base and Expense Base. If the Additional Rent actually due exceeds total estimated payments made by Tenant on account of Additional Rent for such calendar year, then Tenant shall pay Landlord the full amount of any such deficiency within thirty (30) days after receiving the Annual Additional Rent Notice. If the Additional Rent actually due is less than the total estimated payments made by Tenant on account of Additional Rent for such calendar year, then Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days of delivery of the Annual Additional Rent Notice, reimburse to Tenant an amount equal to the amount of any excess.
(C) Right to Audit. So long as Tenant has paid in full any amount owing under an Annual Additional Rent Notice, Tenant may, at any time after at least three (3) days notice to Landlord given within sixty (60) days after Tenant receives such Annual Additional Rent Notice from Landlord, review Landlord’s records of each of Excess Taxes and Excess Expenses for the time period covered by such Annual Additional Rent Notice. Any such review and correction requested by Tenant must be completed and requested within one hundred twenty (120) days of Tenant’s receipt of the Annual Additional Rent Notice in question or Tenant’s right to object shall be deemed waived. If Tenant’s review of Landlord’s books and records discloses that Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Excess Taxes and/or Excess Expenses paid by Tenant for the period under review exceeded the actual amount properly allocable to Tenant (an “Overpayment”), then, so long as Landlord agrees with such determination by Tenant, Landlord shall (i) promptly pay to Tenant an amount equal to the Overpayment, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date of determination until the date actually paid; and (ii) if the Overpayment is greater than five percent (5%) of the actual amount properly allocable to Tenant, promptly pay to Tenant an amount equal to the actual cost and expense of any such audit or examination to the extent incurred by Tenant for such review. In no event shall Tenant use an auditor who is compensated in any manner on a contingency or similar fee basis.
If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the amount of the excess paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after the one hundred twenty (120) day period referred to above, then Tenant shall have the right, within five (5) days after the expiration of such extended period to submit such dispute for resolution by binding arbitration with a mutually acceptable certified public accountant (a “CPA”) having not less than three (3) years experience with respect to the auditing and review of operating expense statements for Class B office buildings in the Fort Lauderdale Metropolitan Area. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on a CPA within fifteen (15) days of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s election to submit such dispute to arbitration, then within five (5) days thereafter, each shall select a CPA and within ten (10) days thereafter, the two appointed CPAs shall select a third CPA and the third CPA shall be the arbitrator to resolve such dispute.
6
2.3 Refunds; Adjustments.
(A) Refunds. If Landlord secures a refund of any Excess Taxes for which Tenant has paid Tenant’s Pro Rata Share, then Landlord shall pay to Tenant within sixty (60) days of receipt of such refund, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of refund less all reasonable costs and expenses of securing the refund (including reasonable attorneys’ fees).
(B) Adjustments. If the average occupancy level was less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the total Rentable Square Feet of the Building during a calendar year, the actual Expenses for that calendar year shall be adjusted to equal Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Expenses had ninety-five percent (95%) of the total Rentable Square Feet of the Building been occupied.
2.4 Sales and Use Tax.
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, for remittance by Landlord to the appropriate taxing authority, any sales, use or other similar tax on the rent or other sums or charges payable to Landlord by Tenant under this Lease (including, without limitation, the so-called Florida Sales and Use Tax).
Section 3. Condition of Premises; Alterations.
3.1 Construction of Tenant Finish Improvements and Possession.
(A) Attached hereto as Exhibit E is an Agreement for Construction which is hereby incorporated into this Lease and shall be binding on the parties. Landlord will perform or cause to be performed the Work (defined in Exhibit E), subject to Tenant Delay (defined in Exhibit E) and as a result of Force Majeure (defined in Schedule 1.1), for which delays Landlord will not be liable to Tenant in any way. Except for the representations and warranties made by Landlord as specifically set forth in the Agreement for Construction (Exhibit E), Landlord is leasing the Premises in its “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS” condition, without any representation or warranty. Landlord will tender the Premises to Tenant by providing not less than ten (10) days’ written notice of the day on which Landlord anticipates that the Work (defined in Exhibit E) will be completed, subject to the completion of the items on the Punch List (defined in Exhibit E). Upon delivery of possession of the entire Premises to Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall execute the Commencement Certificate which, besides confirming the Rent Commencement Date and Expiration Date, will contain acknowledgments that Tenant has accepted the Premises and its condition, and that the Premises and the Building are satisfactory in all respects except for the completion of the items on the Punch list (defined in Exhibit E), which Landlord will promptly remedy within the time frame provided in the Agreement for Construction (Exhibit E). Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Premises and its condition if Tenant takes possession of the Premises, even though the Commencement Certificate may not have been executed. Tenant shall be obligated to accept possession of the Premises if Landlord has obtained a temporary certificate of occupancy or certificate of occupancy for the Premises and Landlord’s architect certifies to Tenant that the Work has been substantially completed in accordance with the Plans (defined in Exhibit E) subject to the completion of the items on the Punch List (defined in Exhibit E). In addition to completion of the items on the Punch List (defined in Exhibit E), for a period of one (1) year from the Completion Date (defined in Exhibit E) Landlord shall utilize commercially reasonable efforts to cause the general contractor and the subcontractors who performed the Work (defined in Exhibit E), to promptly repair any latent defects discovered with respect to the Work (defined in Exhibit E) and perform all warranty repairs under the contract document with respect to the Work (defined in Exhibit E).
7
(B) In the event Landlord tenders possession of a portion of the Premises to Tenant prior to the Completion Date in accordance with Section 2.1(B) or Section 2.1(H) same shall not trigger the Rent Commencement Date which shall only be established upon the Completion Date (defined in Exhibit E) for the entire Premises.
(C) In the event Landlord causes the Work (defined in Exhibit E) to be substantially completed with respect to a portion of the Premises only, as evidenced by the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy or a certificate of occupancy and tenders possession of that portion of the Premises to Tenant, subject to the completion of items on the Punch List (defined in Exhibit E) prior to the Completion Date, upon delivery of possession of such portion of the Premises to Tenant, Tenant will execute an acknowledgment that, as to that portion of the Premises so tendered to Tenant, that portion of the Premises and the Building are acceptable and that portion of the Premises so tendered and the Building are satisfactory in all respects except for the completion of items on the Punch List (defined in Exhibit E) which Landlord shall promptly complete within the time frame provided in the Agreement for Construction (Exhibit E). Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted such portion of the Premises if Tenant takes possession of same, even though Tenant does not execute the acknowledgement and the warranty period described in Section 3.1(A) shall commence with respect to such portion of the Premises on the date Landlord tenders possession of same to Tenant.
3.2 Alterations or Improvements.
(A) Permitted Alterations. Any and all improvements or alterations in, or additions, changes or installations to the Premises subsequent to the completion of the Work (an “Alteration”) performed by or on behalf of Tenant shall be governed by the terms of Section 3.2(A), (B) and (C). Tenant shall not permit any Alteration to be performed within or to the Premises without first obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as: (1) no Event of Default exists hereunder, (2) the Alteration (i) does not impact the structural components of the Premises or any improvements located at the Project, including but not limited to the foundation, bearing walls, structural steel, footings, roofs or any other exterior component or portion of the Project or (ii) does not materially impact the air conditioning, ventilation, electrical, plumbing, utility or mechanical systems of any improvements located at the Project or (iii) does not impact any other tenant’s premises and are not visible from the outside of the Premises, (3) such Alterations are consistent with the quality and materials utilized in the initial build out of the Tenant space; and (4) the cost of any such Alterations does not exceed $25,000 in any one instance or more than $100,000 in the aggregate in any consecutive twelve (12) month period. Any Alteration not complying with the foregoing sentence shall not be performed without Landlord’s consent, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion unless such Alteration is required by Section 1.5(C) of this Lease. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord’s out-of-pocket costs for review of the plans and specifications for any Alteration and Landlord’s reasonable charge for supervision of any approved Alteration. Tenant shall pay the entire cost of any Alteration permitted hereunder and, if requested by Landlord, shall provide Landlord with evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of Tenant’s financial ability to pay the cost of such Alteration. Upon completion of any Alteration, Tenant shall promptly furnish Landlord with final sworn owner’s and contractors’ statements and full and final waivers of lien covering all labor and materials included in such Alteration.
(B) Procedures. Prior to commencing any Alteration, Tenant shall submit to Landlord detailed plans and specifications for Landlord’s review and approval. Landlord shall notify Tenant of its approval or disapproval of such plans and specifications and the work described therein within ten (10) business days of receipt thereof. If Landlord shall object, Landlord shall state in writing and in reasonable detail the basis for its objection. Tenant may revise its plans and specifications to incorporate such comments and, if Tenant does so, it may again request Landlord’s consent pursuant to
8
the process described above. Neither approval of the plans and specifications nor supervision of any Alteration by Landlord shall constitute a representation or warranty by Landlord as to the accuracy, adequacy, sufficiency or propriety of such plans and specifications or the quality of workmanship or the compliance of any Alteration with Governmental Regulations.
To the extent Tenant revises any plans and specifications after obtaining Landlord’s approval thereof, Tenant shall re-submit such plans and specifications to Landlord contemporaneously with such changes and Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s approval to such revision prior to commencing any work with respect to such revision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to re-submit revised plans and specifications to Landlord with respect to cosmetic changes.
(C) Performance. All Alterations shall be performed in a good and workmanlike and lien free manner, using materials consistent with the quality and materials utilized in connection with the Work (defined in Exhibit E) and in accordance with the plans and specifications submitted to and approved by Landlord as well as in accordance with all applicable Governmental Regulations. In addition, all Alterations shall be performed by contractors and subcontractors who possess the requisite experiences, personnel, financial strength and other resources necessary to perform and complete the proposed Alterations in a good and workmanlike lien free manner. Tenant shall provide to Landlord evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that such contractors or subcontractors satisfy such requirements and possess the insurance required pursuant to Section 4. All contractors and subcontractors performing an Alteration shall work in harmony with Landlord’s and other tenant’s contractors and subcontractors. Tenant shall cause all Alterations to be performed in such manner so as not to (i) obstruct access to the premises of any other tenant in the Project or any part of the Common Areas or disrupt any building service or equipment or any other tenants’ equipment; or (ii) interfere with any work being performed by Landlord, other tenants, or their respective contractors and subcontractors.
Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, file all plans and specifications for all Alterations, as required by all Governmental Regulations. Prior to commencing any Alteration, Tenant shall have obtained and delivered to Landlord true and complete copies of all permits and other licenses and approvals required by applicable Governmental Regulations to commence and complete any Alteration. If Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, consents to an Alteration which may impact a building system or may impact the Project’s structure or roof, Tenant shall only perform such work by using those contractors and subcontractors satisfactory to Landlord. All Alterations shall be staged in areas reasonably acceptable to Landlord.
3.3 Removal by Tenant.
Any Alteration or other improvement made by Tenant in or upon the Premises (excepting only Tenant’s furniture, equipment and trade fixtures), whether temporary or permanent in character, shall become Landlord’s property upon its attachment to the Premises and shall remain upon the Premises at the expiration or termination of this Lease without compensation to Tenant unless otherwise agreed to by the parties; provided, however, that Landlord shall have the right, subject to the limitation set forth in the next grammatical sentence, to require Tenant to remove any Alteration and restore the Premises to the condition existing immediately prior to the Alteration, all at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Landlord shall inform Tenant, at the time Landlord consents to any Alteration, of Landlord’s determination as to whether Tenant shall be required to remove such Alteration at the expiration or termination of this Lease.
3.4 Liens.
Tenant agrees to keep all of the portions of the Project free and clear of all liens arising out of, or claimed by reason of, any work performed, material furnished or obligations incurred by or at
9
the insistence of Tenant, and to indemnify and save Landlord and its agents and employees harmless from all such liens or claims of lien and all attorneys’ fees or other costs and expenses incurred by reason thereof. Should Tenant within twenty (20) days after written notice from Landlord fail to: (i) fully discharge any lien or claim of lien, or (ii) insure or bond over such lien by title endorsement or bond satisfactory to Landlord and Landlord’s lender, if any (which endorsement or bond shall also cover costs of defense), Landlord may, at its option and without limitation of any of its other rights and remedies, pay the same or any part thereof, and the amount of such payment shall be due and owing to Landlord from Tenant with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date incurred until the date paid in full. Such amount shall be deemed to be Rent under this Lease as of the date of such payment by Landlord. No liens of any character whatsoever created or suffered by Tenant shall in any way, or to any extent, attach to or effect the rights of Landlord in the Premises, the Real Estate or the Project. The provisions of this Section 3.4 shall not apply with respect to liens associated with the Work (defined in Exhibit E) which shall be the sole obligation of Landlord.
3.5 Survival.
Tenant’s obligations in this Section 3 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease with respect to any claims brought by Landlord within five (5) years of such expiration or termination.
Section 4. Insurance.
4.1 Tenant’s Insurance.
Tenant shall, at its expense, keep in full force and effect the following insurance policies during the Lease Term and any extension thereof:
(1) “All risk” insurance, including fire and extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage and water damage coverage and demolition and debris removal, insuring the full replacement cost of all Alterations or other improvements or additions to the Premises made at Tenant’s expense or direction, other than the Work, and all other property owned or used by Tenant and located in the Premises;
(2) Broad form commercial general liability insurance, contractual liability insurance with respect to obligations under this Lease and property damage insurance with respect to the Building, the Premises and surrounding areas, with commercially reasonable limits to be set by Tenant from time to time but in any event not less than $3,000,000.00 combined single limit for personal injury, sickness or death or for damage to or destruction of property for any one occurrence, $2,000,000 of which can be through umbrella or excess coverage; and

10
4.2 Form of Policy.
The deductibles under such policies shall not be greater than $25,000.00 per occurrence with respect to the commercial general liability insurance and $25,000,00 per occurrence with respect to the “all risk” insurance, without the prior approval of Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no maximum deductible limits shall apply with respect to windstorm coverage or personal property coverage under the “all risk” insurance policy. All such policies shall be issued by financially sound insurers licensed to do business in the State of Florida having a company rating not less than “A-” as to management and Class IX as to financial strength in the latest version of Best’s Insurance Guide, published by A. M. Best & Company, Oldwick, New Jersey, and shall contain a waiver of any rights of subrogation thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing Best’s Insurance Guide rating requirement, Landlord hereby approves CNA as an acceptable insurance company. In addition, except for worker’s compensation insurance, the policies shall name Landlord, Landlord’s property manager and Interest Holder as additional insureds, shall require at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Landlord of termination or modification and shall be primary and not contributory. Tenant shall, at least ten (10) days prior to the Rent Commencement Date, and within thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of each such policy, deliver to Landlord certificates of insurance (in a form consistent with industry standards), or other equivalent documentation for review by Landlord evidencing the foregoing insurance or renewal thereof, as the case may be.
4.3 Failure to Carry.
Without limiting Landlord’s remedies set forth in Section 10 hereof, in the event that Tenant shall fail to carry and maintain the insurance coverages set forth in this Section 4, Landlord may, upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Tenant (unless such coverages will lapse within such time period and in which event no such notice shall be necessary) and Tenant’s failure to procure the same and deliver reasonably satisfactory evidence thereof to Landlord within said period, procure such policies of insurance and Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord the cost thereof with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date incurred until the date paid.
4.4 Landlord’s Insurance.
Landlord shall, during the Lease Term and any extension thereof, maintain an “all risk” hazard insurance policy for one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement costs of the Project (exclusive of foundations and footings and exclusive of any portion of the Project leased to a party that is obligated, pursuant to its lease, to insure the full replacement cost of such portion of the Project), together with rent insurance in an amount equal to one (1) year’s rent from all tenants of the Project as well as broad form commercial general liability insurance, contractual liability insurance, property damage insurance with respect to the Project, with commercially reasonable limits to be set by Landlord from time to time, consistent with that maintained by landlord of comparable office buildings in the Ft. Lauderdale Metropolitan Area, but in any event not less than $5,000,000.00 combined single limit for personal injury, sickness or death or for damage to or destruction of property for any one occurrence. All such policies shall be issued by financially sound insurers licensed to do business in the State of Florida having a company rating not less than “A-” as to management and Class IX as to financial strength in the latest versions of Best’s Insurance Guide, published by A.M. Best & Company, Oldwick, New Jersey. The cost of all such insurance and such other insurance carried by Landlord with respect to the Project shall be deemed to be an Expense hereunder. Tenant and Guarantor will be named as an additional insured on the liability policy and all such insurance shall contain a waiver of any rights of subrogation thereunder and shall be primary and not contributory. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord an amount equal
11
to any increase in Landlord’s insurance premiums resulting from Tenant’s specific use of the Premises or any act or omission of Tenant or the Tenant Parties (defined in Section 13.1 below), except that so long as Tenant’s use of the Premises complies with the Permitted use (defined in Section 1.51). Tenant shall not be liable for any increase in Landlord’s insurance premiums resulting from Tenant’s use of the Premises.
4.5 Priority of Insurance.
Landlord and Tenant, in the exercise of their commercial business judgment, acknowledge that the use of insurance is the best way to protect against the risk of loss to their respective properties and economic interests in the Project and the Premises. Accordingly, Landlord and Tenant agree that in the event of loss or damage to their respective properties or interests, such loss will be satisfied first by the insurance proceeds paid to the party suffering the loss, next by the additional insurance proceeds that would have been paid to the party suffering the loss had the insurance required hereunder been carried by such party, and finally, by the party causing fee loss or damage.
4.6 Waiver of Claims and Recovery Rights.
Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord and Tenant each, on behalf of themselves and their respective heirs, successor, legal representatives, assigns and insurers, hereby (i) waives any and all rights of recovery, claims, actions or causes of action against the other and their respective officers, directors, partners, shareholders, agents, servants, employees, guests, licensees or invitees for any property loss or damage that may occur to the Premises or other portion of the Project, or any improvements thereto, or any personal property of such party therein, by reason of fire, the elements, or any other cause which is required to be insured against under the terms of the insurance policies referred to in this Section 4, regardless of cause or origin, including negligence of the other party hereto or its respective officers, directors, partners, shareholders, agents, servants, employees, guests, licensees or invitees, and (ii) covenants that no insurer under any property insurance maintained by Landlord or Tenant shall hold any right of subrogation against such other party. If the respective insurer of Landlord and Tenant does not permit such a waiver without an appropriate endorsement to such party’s insurance policy, then Landlord and Tenant each shall notify its insurer of the waiver set forth herein and to secure from such insurer an appropriate endorsement to its respective insurance policy with respect to such waiver.
Section 5. Repairs and Maintenance; Compliance; Services.
5.1 Tenant’s Maintenance Obligations.
Tenant shall maintain the interior of the Premises in a clean, sanitary and safe condition and, except as specifically provided in Section 5.2 below, Tenant shall make and pay for all maintenance, replacement and repair necessary to keep the interior of the Premises in a good state of repair consistent with a comparable office suite in the Fort Lauderdale Metropolitan Area, in compliance with all Governmental Regulations and in tenantable, safe condition. Such maintenance shall include the obligation to maintain, replace or repair, in the manner required herein, all interior doors, interior door frames, interior door checks and interior windows therein, and all equipment, facilities and fixtures exclusively serving the Premises (including hardware, electrical, plumbing and package air conditioning facilities but excluding Building systems which shall be the obligation of Landlord to maintain as provided in Section 5.2). Tenant shall, at its own expense, install and maintain fire extinguishers and other fire protection devices in the Premises as may be required from time to time by any agency having jurisdiction or the insurance underwriters insuring the Project in which the Premises are located. Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, utilize commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Premises are maintained in compliance with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”) and any
12
similar state or local laws, rules or ordinances throughout the Lease Term and any renewals. Required Tenant repairs and maintenance not made within 20 days after demand by Landlord may be made by Landlord, at its option, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of the repairs within 30 days from receipt of invoice, as Additional Rent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, including Section 24, Landlord shall have no approval rights with respect to the contractors employed by Tenant to perform Tenant’s maintenance obligation under this Section 5.1; however, all such contractors must be properly licensed and insured as required by this Lease.
5.2 Landlord’s Maintenance Obligations.
Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the Project, including the Common Areas, in a manner consistent with a comparable office building in the Fort Lauderdale Metropolitan Area and promptly complete all required maintenance and repairs. Such maintenance shall include (i) all maintenance, replacement and repair to the roof, floor, slab, outer walls, outer windows, foundations, structural portion of the Project in which the Premises are located (other than interior doors, interior door frames, interior door checks and interior windows in the Premises) and electrical, plumbing, ventilating and air conditioning systems of the Building (defined in Section 1.1) servicing the Premises which shall be necessary to maintain the Project and the Premises in a safe, dry and tenantable condition and in good order and repair in a manner consistent with a comparable office building in the Fort Lauderdale Metropolitan Area, including without limitation the Building fire sprinkler and fire safety system and Building HVAC system; and (ii) all maintenance, replacement and repair (including sweeping and striping of parking areas) necessary to maintain all driveways, sidewalks, street loading and parking areas serving the Project and all Common Areas free of all settling, clear of standing water and in a sightly and serviceable condition. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with those of an experienced building operator to ensure that the Building and Common Areas are in compliance with the ADA and any similar state or local laws, rules or ordinances and also ensure that the Building and Common Areas remain in compliance during the Lease Term. Tenant shall pay Landlord its Pro Rata Share of Landlord’s cost of complying with Landlord’s maintenance, replacement and repair obligations contained in this Section 5.2, all in accordance with and as limited by the provisions of Section 2.2(B)(3) hereof.
5.3 Project Services. Landlord shall furnish the following services:
(A) Cooling. During normal business hours, 7:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Saturday, holidays excluded: (“Business Hours”), Landlord shall furnish air conditioning to provide a comfortable temperature, consistent with that provided in comparable office buildings in the Ft. Lauderdale Metropolitan Area, for office business operations, assuming an office density not greater than seven (7) persons per one thousand Rentable Square Feet. If Tenant installs equipment, makes Alterations or otherwise utilizes the Premises in a manner which adversely affects the temperature maintained by the air conditioning system, Landlord may, upon Tenant’s request, install supplementary air conditioning units in the Premises and Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand, as Additional Rent, the cost of such installation, operation and maintenance of such supplementary units. To the extent Tenant conducts business at the Premises outside Business Hours, Tenant shall pay any additional costs incurred by Landlord in connection with Tenant’s opening of the Premises for business during such additional hours. Such additional cost may include, but not be limited to, any additional amounts of security, janitorial and other cleaning, trash removal and ventilating and air conditioning costs. Landlord’s current charges for providing air conditioning to the Premises after Business Hours is Thirty and No/100 Dollars ($30.00) per hour, which amount is subject to adjustment from time to time by Landlord to reflect Landlord’s commercially reasonable estimate of the actual costs of operation, including but not limited to costs of utilities, labor, maintenance, equipment and depreciation. Tenant
13
shall notify Landlord of its need for such services after Business Hours by noon on the day such services are required.
(B) Elevators. Landlord shall provide and maintain passenger elevator service to Tenant in common with Landlord and other tenants of the Project. After Business Hours Landlord may reduce the number of passenger elevators servicing the Building, but in no event shall Tenant be denied access to the Premises. Tenant shall cause deliveries of furniture, equipment or other heavy or bulky items to be made only at such time that has been previously scheduled with, and only in the manner previously approved by Landlord. Tenant may request additional elevator service provided such service shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
(C) Janitorial Service. Landlord shall furnish janitorial services substantially as set forth in Exhibit F. If Tenant desires supplementary janitorial service, it shall not hire any contractors without Landlord’s consent. Landlord shall, however, request the contractor providing janitorial services to the Building to provide additional services to Tenant and if the contractor so consents, such additional services shall be at Tenant’s cost and expense and responsibility. Landlord shall cause the janitorial services to be provided after 5:30 p.m. and to be performed in a commercially reasonable manner so as to minimize interference with Tenant.
(D) Water. Landlord shall furnish cold water for drinking and toilet purposes, cold water for lavatory purposes and cold and hot water for the break room and the lunch room. Landlord shall also provide hot water at one sink in each bathroom on the 7th Floor of the Building and at one sink in each bathroom on the 8th floor of the Building. To the extent Tenant needs water for any other purposes and such purpose is approved by Landlord, Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, the cost for such water at rates fixed by Landlord. Tenant shall not permit water to be wasted.
(E) Electricity. Electricity for outlets and overhead lights used in the Premises shall be supplied for the purposes of lighting and general office equipment use in amounts consistent with Building standard electrical capacities, not to exceed three (3) xxxxx per Rentable Square Foot of the Premises, and the cost thereof shall be included in Expenses. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant’s intended use of the Premises excludes material use of the Premises beyond Business Hours. Material use shall be deemed to mean the operation of an additional “shift”, either full or part time, or use of the Premises after Business Hours in any way that may preclude or interfere with the providing of janitorial services to the Premises. In the event Tenant’s use of the Premises requires more electrical power than set forth above, whether by intensity of use, load or type of equipment, Tenant may then be billed for such additional use and such xxxxxxxx will be billed to Tenant as Additional Rent. Landlord will utilize Landlord’s customary method of billing Tenant for excess electrical power consumption. At Landlord’s option, Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, may have an engineer estimate Tenant’s usage, and xxxx Tenant at standard utility rates for the excess usage or install a submeter for the purposes of monitoring Tenant’s excess power consumption. Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord’s implementation of the electrical monitoring and billing procedures set forth herein shall in no way be construed so as to deem Landlord a private or public utility company. Landlord shall maintain the light fixtures and install lamps, bulbs, ballasts and starters in the Premises at Tenant’s expense based upon Landlord’s actual cost for providing such maintenance, without markup.
If Tenant desires signal, communication, alarm or other utility or similar service connections installed or changed, Tenant shall not install or change the same without the approval of the Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and then only under direction of Landlord and at Tenant’s expense. Except as shown on the Space Plan and the Finish Plan (defined in Exhibit E) Tenant shall not install in the Premises any equipment which requires a substantial amount of electrical current without the advance written consent of the Landlord, and the Tenant shall ascertain from the
14
Landlord the maximum amount of load or demand for use of electrical current which can safely be permitted in the Premises, taking into account the capacity of the electric wiring in the Building and the needs of other tenants of the Building, and shall not in any event connect a greater load then such safe capacity. The Tenant shall not tamper with any other Building utility systems without authorization from the Landlord. The running of cable or pipe between suites also requires Landlord authorization and will occur at the Tenant’s expense if approved.
(F) Separate Services. If Landlord is not required to provide certain services to all tenants of the Project, but provide such services to Tenant, or to Tenant and some, but not all, tenants of the Project, then the cost of such services shall be apportioned among the tenants provided with services and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share for such services shall be recomputed by the ratio that the Rentable Square Feet of the Premises bears to the Rentable Square Feet of the total premises of tenants provided with such services. If Tenant is the sole party to whom Landlord provides the service, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the entire cost of such service.
5.4 Telephone Service.
Tenant shall arrange for telephone service in the Premises directly with the telephone service provider it selects. Tenant shall pay directly to such provider, as and when due, the costs related to such installation and service. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, including Section 24, Landlord shall not have approval with respect to Tenant’s telephone service provider or with respect to the contractors who install and maintain the telephone system; however, all such service providers and contractors must comply with the rules and Regulations of the Building, be licensed and insured as required by this Lease and Landlord must be given advance notice to enable Landlord to provide access to the Building telephone closets. The installation and maintenance of the telephone system, including modifications of the telephone system shall not be deemed an Alteration (defined in Section 3.2(A)).
5.5 Interruption of Services.
Except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, no interruption of services caused by repairs, replacements or alterations to the service system, or by any other cause, shall be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s possession of any part of the Premises or render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages, or otherwise affect the rights and obligations of Landlord or Tenant under this Lease. However, if (i) Landlord ceases to furnish any service in the Building as a result of a condition which affects only the Building (that is, which does not affect office buildings in general in the vicinity of the Building) and (ii) Tenant notifies Landlord of such cessation and (iii) such cessation is not caused by Force Majeure (as defined in Schedule 1.1) and (iv) such cessation has not arisen as a result of an act or omission of Tenant or the Tenant Parties and (v) as a result of such cessation, the Premises (or a material portion thereof) is rendered untenantable and Tenant in fact ceases to use such space in the manner used prior to such cessation, then, as Tenant’s exclusive remedy for such cessation, on the fourth (4th) consecutive day after all of the foregoing conditions have been met, the Base Rent payable hereunder shall be equitably abated based on the percentage of the Premises so rendered untenantable and in fact not used by Tenant. Such abatement shall begin retroactively from the date of such cessation and continue until the date the Premises become tenantable again by the removal of such cessation of services. Landlord shall provide Tenant with notice of all planned outages of services and utilize commercially reasonable efforts to schedule all planned outages during other than during Business Hours.

If the damage renders the Premises inaccessible or untenantable in whole or m part, the Rent provided for herein shall xxxxx thereafter as to the portion of the Premises so affected until such time as same is accessible and restored to a tenantable condition, as reasonably determined by Landlord, based upon comparable buildings in the Ft. Lauderdale Metropolitan Area.
6.2 Termination.
If (i) the Building is damaged to an extent that Landlord’s good faith estimate of the cost of reconstruction, restoration and repair thereof exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the replacement cost of the Building, (ii) the reconstruction, restoration and repair of the Premises or the Building cannot with reasonable diligence be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the casualty, or (iii) the casualty occurs during the last twelve (12) calendar months of the term of this Lease, then in any such event Landlord shall have the right, exercisable by written notice given to Tenant at any time within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the casualty, to elect not to reconstruct, restore or repair the Premises, and in such event this Lease shall be terminated in all respects effective as of the date of the casualty, all Rent shall be prorated to the date of the casualty, and the parties hereto shall be released from any obligations thereafter accruing under this Lease (except as otherwise provided herein).
6.3 Insurance Proceeds.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6, in no event shall Landlord be required to expend more to reconstruct, restore or repair the Building than the amount actually received by Landlord from the proceeds of the property insurance carried by Landlord.
Section 7. Eminent Domain.
7.1 Total Taking.
In the event of a taking or damage related to the exercise of the power or eminent domain, by any agency, authority, public utility, person, corporation or entity empowered to condemn property (including without limitation a voluntary conveyance by Landlord in lieu of such taking or condemnation) (a “Taking”) of (i) the entire Premises, (ii) so much of the Premises as to prevent or substantially impair its use by Tenant during the term of this Lease, or (iii) portions of the Building or Project required for reasonable access to, or reasonable use of, the Premises (a “Total Taking”), the rights and obligations of Tenant under this Lease and the leasehold estate of Tenant in and to the Premises shall cease and terminate as of the date upon which title to the property taken passes to and vests in the condemnor or the effective date of any order for possession if issued prior to the date title vests in he condemnor (“Date of Taking”).
16
7.2 Partial Taking.
In the event of a Taking of only a part of the Premises or of a part of the Project which does not constitute a Total Taking during the term of this Lease (a “Partial Taking”), the rights and obligations of Tenant under this Lease and the leasehold estate of Tenant in and to the portion of the property taken shall cease and terminate as of the Date of Taking, and an adjustment to the Rent shall be made based upon the reduced area of the Premises.
In the event of a Taking of a material portion of the Building (other than the Premises) such that, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, the Building’s continued operation is not practically or economically feasible, Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant within ninety (90) days after the date notice of such Taking is received by Landlord.
If this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.1, Landlord shall refund to Tenant any prepaid unaccrued Rent and any other sums due and owing to Tenant (less any sums then due and owing Landlord by Tenant), and Tenant shall pay to Landlord any remaining sums due and owing Landlord under this Lease, each prorated as of the Date of Taking where applicable.
If this Lease is not terminated as provided for in this Section 7.1, Landlord at its expense shall promptly repair and restore the Building, Project and/or the Premises to substantially the same condition that existed immediately prior to the Date of Taking, wear and tear only excepted (and Landlord shall have no obligation to repair or restore Tenant’s improvements to the Premises or Tenant’s property), except for the part taken, so as to render the Building or Project as complete an architectural unit as practical, but only to the extent of the condemnation award received by Landlord for the damage.
7.3 Award.
Landlord reserves all rights to damages and awards paid because of any Partial or Total Taking of the Premises or the Project. Tenant assigns to Landlord any right Tenant may have to the damages or award. Further, Tenant shall not make claims against Landlord or the condemning authority for damages. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant may pursue a separate claim against the condemning authority for the value of Tenant’s moving expenses, business dislocation damages, Tenant’s property and Trade Fixtures and any other award that would not reduce the award payable to Landlord.
7.4 Notice of Proceeding.
Landlord agrees to promptly provide Tenant with copies of all notices received from any agency, authority, public utility, person, corporation or entity empowered to condemn property with respect to any proposed Taking (defined in Section 7.1) of all or any portion of the Premises or the Building.

If Landlord shall at any time transfer its interest in the Project or this Lease, Landlord shall be released of any obligations occurring after such transfer provided any obligations not assumed by Landlord’s transferee shall remain obligations of Landlord, and Tenant shall look solely to Landlord’s successors for performance of such obligations; provided, however, that Landlord’s transferee agrees to perform all of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease first arising from and after the transfer, as evidenced by an assignment and assumption agreement executed by such transferee.
Section 22. Unrelated Business Income.
If Landlord is advised by its counsel at any time that any part of the payments by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease may be characterized as unrelated business income under the United States Internal Revenue Code and its regulations, as each of the same may be amended, then Tenant shall enter into any amendment proposed by Landlord to avoid such income, so long as the amendment does not require Tenant to make more payments or accept fewer services from Landlord, than this Lease provides.

Section 24. Rights Reserved to Landlord.
The following rights, exercisable without notice and without affecting any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, are all reserved by Landlord: (1) upon reasonable notice, to exhibit the Premises at reasonable hours to prospective purchasers, mortgagees, and ground lessors of the Project and, in the final nine (9) months of the Lease Term, to prospective tenants; (2) to enter the Premises after reasonable notice (except in the event of an emergency, when no notice need be given) at reasonable hours for reasonable purposes, including inspection, the provision of services and the performance of the obligations of Landlord hereunder; (3) to regulate access to telephone, electrical and other utility lines and closets in the Project and to require use of designated contractors for any work involving access to the same; (4) to approve, in its discretion and prior to installation, any shades, blinds, ventilators or window treatments of any kind, as well as any lighting within the Premises that may be visible from the exterior of the Building; (5) to approve the weight, size, placement and time and manner of movement within the Premises and the Project of any safe or other heavy article of Tenant’s Property, without any liability on account of such approval.

Section 25. Security Deposit.
Concurrent with its execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord an amount equal to Two Hundred Twelve Thousand Six Hundred Nineteen and 80/100 Dollars ($212,619.80) (the “Security Deposit”) which sum shall be held by Landlord, without interest, as security for the performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease. The Security Deposit is not an advance payment of Rent or a measure of Landlord’s damages in the event of a default by Tenant. If at any time during the Lease Term, Tenant fails to pay when due Rent or any other sums owed by Tenant hereunder (after the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods, if any), then Landlord may at its option apply any portion of the Security Deposit to the payment of such overdue sums. If Tenant defaults under any other obligation of Tenant under this Lease (after the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods, if any), then Landlord, at its option, may apply as much of Security Deposit as necessary, to compensate Landlord for loss, cost or damage incurred or sustained by Landlord as the result of such default (including, without limitation, the cost incurred by Landlord to remedy such default). If any portion of the Security Deposit is applied by Landlord as provided herein, Tenant shall, upon demand, remit to Landlord an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Tenant’s failure to remit such amount within fifteen (15) days of demand shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease. Landlord shall remit to Tenant within thirty (30) days any balance of the Security Deposit remaining at the expiration or termination of the Lease.
In lieu of cash, Tenant may post as the security deposit an irrevocable and unconditional letter of credit in the form reasonably acceptable to Landlord from any national bank, and acceptable to Landlord. Landlord acknowledges that Bank One, N.A. is acceptable to Landlord. In the event Landlord receives notice from the issuer of the letter of credit that the letter of credit will not be renewed and if Tenant does not replace the letter of credit with an identical letter of credit complying with the terms of this Section 25 no later than the date which is fifteen (15) business days prior to the expiration of the letter of credit, Landlord may draw down the letter of credit and hold the cash as the security deposit under this Lease. Such drawing of the letter of credit will not constitute an Event of Default under this Lease, and Tenant, at its option, may replace said cash with a letter of credit complying with the terms of this subsection. In the event of the sale or transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Building, Landlord shall transfer the security deposit to such purchaser, in which event Tenant shall look only to the new Landlord for the return of the security deposit, and Landlord shall thereupon be released from all liability to Tenant for the return of the security deposit. If the security deposit is in the form of a letter of credit, Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord to have the letter of credit amended or replaced to name the new Landlord as the beneficiary thereunder. If Tenant fails to cause such an amendment to the letter of credit within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s written request therefor, Landlord may draw down the letter of credit and transfer the cash proceeds therefrom to the new Landlord.
Landlord shall remain liable for the return of the security deposit to the extent Landlord does not transfer same to its successor or assign under this Lease.

AGREEMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION
THIS AGREEMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION (this “Agreement”) is attached to and made part of the Lease dated as of November 18th, 2002, made by and between NORTH FEDERAL HIGHWAY, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, as landlord (“Landlord”), and CompHealth, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as tenant (“Tenant”), pursuant to which Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord certain space (the “Premises”) located in the building commonly known as 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx. Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Lease.
Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:
1. Work.
a. Subject to the provisions of the Lease and this Agreement, Landlord shall cause to be performed, at Landlord’s expense, certain improvements to the Premises to make the Premises ready for Tenant’s occupancy (the “Work”).
b. Subject to the provisions of the Lease and this Agreement, Landlord shall proceed diligently to cause the Work to be substantially completed on or before April 13, 2003, subject to events beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, any of the items set forth in Subsections 3(a) through (d), inclusive, of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be liable for failure to substantially complete the Work on or before said date.
c. Landlord and Tenant have approved the conceptual layout of the Premises, which includes a computer room with a supplemental HVAC system installed by and at the expense of Landlord, which is attached hereto as Exhibit E-1 (the “Space Plan”) and a finish plan for the Premises which is attached hereto as Exhibit E-2 (the “Finish Plan”). Within three (3) business days of execution of this Lease, Tenant shall provide Landlord with the data and power locations throughout the Premises and equipment specifications for all computers, copiers and other equipment anticipated to be located in the Premises, including without limitation within the computer room. Landlord shall promptly cause plans and specifications (the “Plans”) to be prepared and delivered to Tenant based upon the approved Space Plan and Finish Plan. Not more than ten (10) business days after Tenant’s receipt of the Plans, Tenant shall notify Landlord either of its approval thereof, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, or of changes required thereto. If Tenant notifies Landlord that changes are required, Landlord shall promptly submit to Tenant, the Plans amended in accordance with the changes so required. Landlord will not commence the Work until Tenant’s approval of the Plans or the amended Plans, as the case may be. The Plans shall be subject to approvals of local governmental agencies having jurisdiction over construction. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable effects consistent with those of an experienced building operator to ensure that Work, as reflected in the Plans, will be in compliance with applicable ADA guidelines and any similar state and local laws, rules or ordinances. The Plans shall be revised and the Work shall be changed to incorporate any revisions to the Plans required by any local governmental agency and any work required in the Premises by any local governmental field inspector.
d. The Work to be performed by Landlord shall not include telephone voice cabling or data cabling, card reader security system, white noise system, or furniture systems which are to be completed separately by Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expenses. Landlord shall allow Tenant’s vendors access to the Premises in accordance with the Landlord’s construction schedule prior to the Completion Date to install telephone voice lines, data lines, card reader security system, white noise system, and
E-1
furniture systems prior to the completion of the Work. Such access is expressly conditioned upon (i) Tenant’s vendors obtaining appropriate permits for their work from the applicable governmental authorities; (ii) the Tenant’s vendors’ work being illustrated on the construction permit Plans; (iii) Tenant’s vendors not delaying the Landlord’s architect and engineer from completing the Plans; (iv) Tenant’s vendors performing their work in a manner that does not interfere with or delay the completion of the Work; (v) Tenant’s vendors complying with jobsite rules and requirements of Landlord’s general contractor; (vi) Tenant’s vendors complying with the time requirements of Landlord’s construction schedule; and (vi) Tenant and Tenant’s vendors complying with the provisions of Section 3 of the Lease.
e. “Changes” shall mean any revisions to the Work, or the Plans which are (i) requested by Tenant or (ii) required by any local governmental agency or field inspector.
f. After the approval of the Plans, Landlord shall diligently proceed to review any proposed Changes and if Landlord approves Changes requested by Tenant, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly determine the cost for the proposed Changes. Tenant shall approve or disapprove, in writing, the cost for the Changes requested by Tenant within three (3) business days after Tenant has received the estimated cost for the Changes from Landlord. Landlord shall not be obligated to proceed with the Changes until Tenant has approved the cost for the Changes. If the approval of the cost for the Changes is not received by Landlord within the three (3) business day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have abandoned its request for the Changes. If Landlord approves Changes requested by Tenant and Tenant approves the cost for the Changes, the Work to be performed by Landlord shall include the revisions to the Work shown in the revised Plans. For purposes of this section, notices may be sent by facsimile or by e-mail and shall be deemed delivered on the date received.
g. After the approval of the Plans, the Work to be performed by Landlord shall include all Changes required by a local governmental agency or a local governmental field inspector.
h. Landlord, at its sole option, may change mechanical plans and specifications where necessary for the installation of air conditioning systems and ductwork, heating, electrical and plumbing and other mechanical plans for the Work; provided that any such changes shall not materially and adversely affect Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises for its intended purpose.
i. In the design of the Work, Tenant agrees to comply with floor loading limitations established by Landlord.
j. Within two (2) business days from the date Landlord selects a general contractor to perform the Work Landlord shall provide Tenant with a copy of Landlord’s construction schedule for the Work prepared by Landlord’s general contractor. Landlord shall utilize its good faith efforts to cause its general contractor to incorporate into the construction schedule the time frame for the installation of the telephone voice lines, data lines, card reader system and furniture systems by Tenant’s vendors prior to the Completion Date.
k. During the performance of the Work Landlord shall cause its general contractor to hold construction meetings on a weekly basis to discuss the status of completion of the Work. Landlord shall provide Tenant and it’s construction consultant, if any, with notice of the meeting so that Tenant and its construction consultant shall have the opportunity to attend the meetings.
2. Cost for Changes. Tenant shall pay Landlord, as additional rent under the Lease and within twenty (20) days after Landlord’s demand therefor, the cost for any Changes requested by Tenant if Landlord has approved the Changes requested by Tenant and Tenant approves the cost for the Changes. In the event that any Changes requested by Tenant and approved by Landlord reduce the cost of the
E-2
Work, the savings shall be netted against any Changes requested by Tenant and approved by Landlord which increase the cost of the Work.
3. Delays in Work. Notwithstanding the date provided in the Lease or this Agreement for substantial completion of the Work, the Rent Commencement Date shall be the earlier of (i) the date that the Completion Date (defined in Section 4 below) has occurred for the entire Premises and Landlord has tender possession of this entire Premises to Tenant or (ii) the date on which Landlord would have achieved the Completion Date for the entire Premises and tendered possession of the entire Premises to Tenant but for delays attributable to any of the reasons set forth in Subsections 3(a) through (e) inclusive (collectively, “Tenant Delay”):
a. Tenant’s failure to either approve any Plans or notify Landlord of changes required thereto within ten (10) business days of Tenant’s receipt of the Plans; or
b. Tenant’s request for materials, finishes, installations or construction procedures other than those within the scope of the Plans; or
c. Changes requested by Tenant in the Work or in the Plans (notwithstanding Landlord’s subsequent approval of any such Changes);
d. Failure of Tenant’s vendors to comply with the time requirements of Landlord’s construction schedule; or
e. Any other act, omission or delay by Tenant, its agents, contractors, vendors or persons employed by any of such persons which delays the substantial completion of the Work.
Promptly after the Completion Date, the parties will execute the Commencement Certificate attached as Exhibit D to the Lease, setting forth the actual Rent Commencement Date and Expiration Date of the Lease, as so modified, so that said dates are certain and such instrument, when executed, is hereby made a part of the Lease and incorporated herein by reference. In the event Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree as to whether a Tenant Delay has occurred and the length of any Tenant Delay, a certificate of Landlord’s general contractor as to whether a Tenant Delay has occurred and the length of any Tenant Delay shall be binding on the parties.
4. Completion - Punch List. When Landlord’s architect considers the Work to be substantially complete or about to be substantially completed, Landlord shall notify Tenant as to the date or anticipated date of substantial completion and of a time and date for inspection of the Work. If such time and date are not acceptable to Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree upon another time and date, provided that Tenant shall not unreasonably delay such inspection. Landlord and Tenant agree to inspect the Premises at such time and on such date and to execute at the time of such inspection Landlord’s form of inspection report which shall be prepared by Landlord’s architect and shall list items designated by said architect as not yet completed and any additional items which Landlord and Tenant acting reasonably and in good faith agree upon during such inspection are not yet completed, none of which shall materially interfere with Tenant’s ability to use and occupy the Premises for their intended purpose (said list is hereafter referred to as a “Punch List”). If the Work is substantially completed in accordance with the Plans, subject only to the completion of the Punch List, Tenant agrees to also execute at the time of such inspection a written statement that the Premises have been substantially completed in accordance with this Agreement subject only to the items listed on the Punch List. If items remaining to be completed which would materially interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises for their intended use, Tenant, acting in a commercially reasonable manner, shall not execute the inspection report until the items which would materially interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises for
E-3
their intended use have been completed at which time Tenant will execute a written statement that the Premises have been substantially completed in accordance with this Agreement subject only to the items listed on the Punch list. Tenant agrees that, at the request of Landlord from time to time after the initial inspection, Tenant shall initial such Punch List or execute revised Punch Lists to reflect partial completion of prior Punch List items, to the extent such Punch List items have been completed to Tenant’s reasonable satisfaction. Tenant’s acknowledgment in writing that the Premises are substantially complete and acceptance of possession of the Premises shall not relieve Landlord of its obligations to promptly complete all Punch List items. Landlord shall utilize its good faith efforts to complete all Punch List items within thirty (30) days of the Completion Date or such longer period of time as is reasonably required due to the nature of the Punch List items. Landlord shall also promptly obtain a certificate of occupancy. To the extent that Landlord tenders possession of portions of the Premises to Tenant as contemplated by Section 2.1(B) prior to the Completion Date, the provisions of this Section 4 shall apply with respect to any portion of the Premises so tendered to Tenant and a Punch List shall be prepared with respect to that portion of the Premises.
The “Completion Date” shall mean the date upon which Landlord shall have substantially completed the Work substantially in accordance with the Plans, subject only to the completion of the Punch List, which Punch List shall not include any items which will materially interfere with Tenant’s ability to use and occupy the Premises for their intended purpose and Landlord has obtained a temporary certificate of occupancy for the Premises.
5. Landlord’s Entry After Substantial Completion. At any time after substantial completion of the Work or the Commencement Date of the Term of the Lease, whichever occurs first, Landlord may enter the Premises to complete Punch List items, and such entry by Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors for such purpose shall not constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under the Lease, or impose any other liability upon Landlord, its agents, beneficiaries, employees or contractors.
6. Miscellaneous.
a. The Work shall be done by Landlord, or its designees, the general contractor selected by Landlord or subcontractors, in accordance with the terms, conditions and provisions herein contained.
b. Except as expressly set forth herein or in the Lease, Landlord has no agreement with Tenant and has no obligation to do any other work with respect to the Premises. Any other work in the Premises which Tenant may be permitted by Landlord to perform prior to commencement of the Term shall be done at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lease, and shall be subject to such other requirements as Landlord’s general contractor deems necessary or desirable. Any additional work or alterations to the Premises desired by Tenant after the commencement of the Lease shall be subject to the provisions of the Lease.
c. If the Plans require the construction and installation of more telephone/electrical closets than provided in the Space Plan, Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses arising from the construction and installation of such additional telephone/electrical closets.
d. This Agreement shall not be deemed applicable to any additional office space added to the Premises at any time or from time to time, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, or to any portion of the Premises or any additions thereto in the event of a renewal or
E-4
extension, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, unless expressly so provided in the Lease or any amendment or supplement thereto.
e. With respect to any amounts owed by Tenant hereunder and not paid when due or Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder, Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies granted to Landlord under the Lease for non-payment by Tenant of any amounts owed thereunder or failure by Tenant to perform its obligations thereunder.
f. Except as authorized by Section 1(d) above, Tenant shall not be permitted to occupy or store any items in the Premises prior to Landlord’s receipt of a temporary certificate of occupancy for the Premises.
7. Warranty. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the Completion Date the Work shall be completed in a good and workmanlike manner substantially (as a result of field conditions differing from what is shown on the Plans) in accordance with the Plans and the Changes, subject only to the completion of the Punch List items, and the Premises shall be habitable for its intended use as evidenced by the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy by the applicable governmental authorities.
8. Liability of Landlord. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, the liability of Landlord, any agent of Landlord, or any of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, partners or employees, for or in respect of any default by Landlord under the terms of this Agreement or in respect of any other claim or cause of action, shall be limited to Landlord’s equity interest in the Building, and Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord’s equity interest in the Building for the recovery and satisfaction of any judgment against Landlord, any agent of Landlord, or any of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, partners or employees.
9. Upon Completion of the entire Premises, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a written statement reflecting all hard and soft costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the Work, which costs shall include any construction management fees paid by Landlord, which amount shall be utilized to calculate the amount of any tenant improvement allowance to be paid to Tenant in connection with the Expansion Premises.

EXPANSION RIGHTS
A. | Expansion Option. |
1. Subject to and upon the terms, provisions and conditions set forth in this Exhibit I, Tenant shall have, and is hereby granted, a one time option (the “Expansion Option”) to lease those certain premises (hereinafter sometimes called the “Expansion Premises”) located on Floor 8 of the Building and consisting of approximately 16,017 Rentable Square Feet, as reflected on the floor plan attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes as Exhibit I-1 by written notice to Landlord no later than October 1, 2004. If Tenant exercises the Expansion Option and rents the entire 8th Floor of the Building, the 8th Floor shall be deemed to have 33,732 Rentable Square Feet. If Tenant does not exercise the Expansion Option within the required time period, the Expansion Option shall be deemed waived. In addition to the foregoing, Expansion Option shall automatically terminate, if not previously exercised, thirty (30) days after Landlord has advised Tenant, in writing, that Landlord has leased 94,000 Rentable Square Feet of the approximately 140,000 Rentable Square Feet in the Building which is vacant at the time of the execution of this Lease.
2. The Expansion Option may be exercised only if, at the time of such exercise and at the time of Landlord’s delivery of the
Expansion Premises to Tenant (a) no Event of Default exists and (b) Tenant is in possession of the entire Premises. If such
condition(s) are not satisfied, any purported exercise of the Expansion Option shall be null and void. No
assignee of Tenant or sublessee of the Premises may exercise the Expansion Option other than an assignee of Tenant pursuant to a Permitted Transfer (defined in Section 8.1(A) of the Lease), however this provision shall not prevent Tenant
from exercising the Expansion Option to enable a sublessee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer (defined in Section 8.1(A) of the Lease to utilize the Expansion Premises.
3. If Tenant elects to exercise the Expansion Option, the Expansion Premises shall be subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. Tenant’s obligation to pay the Rent for the Expansion Premises shall commence on the date (the “Expansion Rental Commencement Date”) Landlord receives a temporary certificate of occupancy or a certificate of occupancy for the Expansion Premises and tenders possession of the Expansion Premises to Tenant, subject to the completion of items on the Punch List (defined in Exhibit I-2) and subject to adjustment as a result of Tenant Delay (defined in Exhibit I-2) as provided in Exhibit I-2, and shall expire on the Lease Term.
4. If Tenant elects to lease the Expansion Premises, Landlord will furnish the Expansion Premises to Tenant, and Tenant will accept the Expansion Premises, in its then current condition (i.e. “AS IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS”) except for the representations and warranties made by Landlord as specifically set forth in Exhibit I-2. Landlord shall construct and install leasehold improvements in the Expansion Premises in accordance with Exhibit I-2. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a tenant improvement allowance (the “Tenant Improvement Allowance”) for the Expansion Premises which shall be based upon the actual hard and soft cost per Rentable Square Foot of the Premises paid by Landlord in connection with initial build out of the Premises prorated based upon the remaining Lease Term from the anticipated Rental Commencement Date with respect to the Expansion Premises (i.e. If the actual hard and soft costs per Rentable Square Foot of the Premise was $25.00 per Rentable Square Feet and 60 months remain on the Lease Term on the anticipated Rental Commencement Date with respect to the Expansion Premises, the Tenant Improvement Allowance per Rentable Square Foot of the Expansion Premises would be 25.00 x 60/93 = $16.13).
I-1
B. | Right of First Offer. |
1. Subject to and upon the terms, provisions and conditions set forth in this Exhibit I, Tenant shall have, and is hereby granted, a continuing right of first offer (the “Right of First Offer”) during the initial term of this Lease to lease the Expansion Premises (hereinafter sometimes called the “ROFO Premises”).

Tenant may exercise a Right of First Offer only if, at the time of such exercise and at the time of Landlord’s delivery of the ROFO Premises to Tenant, (a) no Event of Default exists and (b) Tenant is in possession of not less than 75% of the Premises (unless Landlord, in its sole discretion, elects to waive such condition(s)). If such condition(s) are not satisfied or waived by Landlord, any purported exercise of the Right of First Offer shall be null and void. No sublessee of the Premises may exercise a Right of First Offer, however this provision shall not prevent Tenant from exercising the Right of First Offer to enable a sublessee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer (defined in Section 8.1(A) of the Lease) to utilize the ROFO Premises.
3. If Landlord submits a proposal to lease any of the ROFO Premises that becomes vacant to any third party, Landlord will contemporaneously submit the proposal to Tenant (a “ROFO Lease Proposal”). Tenant shall have a period of ten (10) days after receipt of a ROFO Lease Proposal to irrevocably and unconditionally exercise its Right of First Offer to lease the applicable ROFO Premises. If Tenant elects to exercise the Right of First Offer, all the terms of the Lease shall apply except that the Base Rent for the ROFO Premises shall be the then Market Base Rental Rate (as defined and determined in accordance with Schedule 1.4) and the Tenant Improvement Allowance for the ROFO Premises shall be based upon the actual hard and soft costs per Rentable Square Foot of the Premises paid by the Landlord in connection with the initial build out of the Premises prorated based upon the remaining Lease Term based upon the anticipated Rent Commencement Date with respect to the ROFO Premises, however if Tenant exercises an option for ROFO Premises in the last two (2) years of the Lease Term, there shall be no Tenant Improvement Allowance. If Tenant does not exercise a Right of First Offer within such ten (10) day period, the Right of First Offer shall be waived with respect to the ROFO Premises.

2. Tenant may exercise a Right of First Refusal only if, at the time of such exercise and at the time of Landlord’s delivery of the ROFR Premises to Tenant, (a) no Event of Default exists and (b) Tenant is in possession of not less than 75% of the Premises (unless Landlord, in its sole discretion, elects to waive such condition(s)). If such condition(s) are not satisfied or waived by Landlord, any purported exercise of the Right of First Refusal shall be null and void. No sublessee of the Premises may exercise a
I-2
Right of First Refusal, however this provision shall not prevent Tenant from exercising the Right of First Refusal to enable a sublessee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer (defined in Section 8.1(A) of the Lease) to utilize the ROFR Premises.

Notwithstanding the date provided in Lease or this Agreement for substantial completion of the Work, the Expansion Rental Commencement Date shall be the earlier of (i) the date that the Completion Date (defined in Section 4) below has occurred and Landlord has tendered possession of the Expansion Premises to Tenant; or (ii) the date on which Landlord would have achieved
I-2-3
the Completion Date and tendered possession of the Expansion Premises to Tenant, but for delays attributable to any of the reasons set forth in Subsections 3(a) through (f) inclusive (collectively, “Tenant Delay”):
a. Tenant’s failure to approve any plans required to be approved by Tenant when required hereby; or
b. Tenant’s failure to approve any Pricing Schedule or revisions thereto within the times prescribed hereby; or
c. Tenant’s request for materials, finishes, installations or construction procedures other than those within the scope of the Plans; or

Promptly after the Completion Date, the parties will execute the Commencement Certificate attached as Exhibit D to the Lease, setting forth the actual Expansion Rental Commencement Date and Expiration Date of the Lease, as so modified, so that said dates are certain and such instrument, when executed, is hereby made a part of the Lease and incorporated herein by reference. In the event Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree as to whether a Tenant Delay has occurred and the length of any Tenant Delay, a certificate of the General Contractor (defined in Section 1(f)) as to whether a Tenant Delay has occurred and the length of any Tenant Delay shall be binding on the parties.
4. Completion - Punch List. When Landlord’s architect considers the Work to be substantially complete or about to be substantially completed, Landlord shall notify Tenant as to the date or anticipated date of substantial completion and of a time and date for inspection of the Work. If such time and date are not acceptable to Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree upon another time and date, provided that Tenant shall not unreasonably delay such inspection. Landlord and Tenant agree to inspect the Expansion Premises at such time and on such date and to execute at the time of such inspection Landlord’s form of inspection report which shall be prepared by Landlord’s architect and shall list items designated by said architect as not yet completed and any additional items which Landlord and Tenant acting reasonably and in good faith agree upon during such inspection are not yet completed, none of which shall materially interfere with Tenant’s ability to use and occupy the Expansion Premises for their intended purpose (said list is hereafter referred to as a “Punch List”). If the Work is substantially completed in accordance with the Plans, subject only to the completion of the Punch List, Tenant agrees to also execute at the time of such inspection a written statement that the Expansion Premises have been substantially completed in accordance with this Agreement subject only to the items listed on the Punch List. If items remaining to be completed which would materially interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Expansion Premises for their intended use, Tenant, acting in a commercially reasonable manner, shall not execute the inspection report until the items which would materially interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Expansion Premises for their intended use have been completed at which time Tenant will execute a written statement that the Premises have been substantially completed in accordance with this Agreement subject only to the items listed on the Punch List.

Landlord shall utilize its good faith efforts to complete all Punch List items within thirty (30) days of the Completion Date or such longer period of time as is reasonably required due to the nature of the Punch List items. Landlord shall also promptly obtain a certificate of occupancy. The “Completion Date” shall mean the date upon which Landlord shall have substantially completed the Work substantially in accordance with the Plans, subject only to the completion of the Punch List, which Punch List shall not include any items which will materially interfere with Tenant’s ability to use and occupy the Expansion Premises for their intended purpose and Landlord has obtained a temporary certificates of occupancy for the Expansion Premises.

At any time after substantial completion of the Work or the Commencement Date of the Term of the Lease, whichever occurs first, Landlord may enter the Premises to complete Punch List items, and such entry by Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors for such purpose shall not constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under the Lease, or impose any other liability upon Landlord, its agents, beneficiaries, employees or contractors.
6. Miscellaneous.

“Lease Year” shall mean each consecutive twelve-month period beginning with the Rent Commencement Date, except that if the Rent Commencement Date is other than the first day of a calendar month, then the first Lease Year shall be the period from the Rent Commencement Date through the date twelve months after the last day of the calendar month in which the Rent Commencement Date occurs, and each subsequent Lease Year shall be the period of twelve months following the last day of the prior Lease Year.
“Tax Base” shall mean the Taxes due and payable with respect to the Project for the Base Year. If the Project is less than 95% leased and occupied, Taxes (including those of the Tax Base) shall be equitably adjusted to reflect assessment of the Project at a 95% occupancy.

Taxes shall not include any income, excess profit, franchise, capital stock, estate or inheritance tax payable by Landlord except as specifically provided in the next sentence and in Section 2.4. If at any time during the Lease Term the method of taxation prevailing at the Commencement Date shall be altered so that any new or additional tax assessment, levy, imposition, or charge, or any part thereof, shall be imposed in place or
3
partly in place of any Taxes or contemplated increase therein, including without limitation any tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge on Rent, then all such taxes, assessments, levies, impositions or charges shall be deemed to be Taxes for the purpose hereof, to the extent that such Taxes would be payable if the Project was the only property of Landlord subject to such tax. If any assessments constituting Taxes are or may be payable to the applicable taxing authority in installments over more than one Lease Year then, Landlord shall cause such Taxes to be paid in installments, and only those installments (plus any interest thereon) payable during a Lease Year in which the Lease Term falls shall be included in Taxes for such Lease Year in which payment is due. Otherwise, Taxes “for” a Lease Year shall be deemed to refer to Taxes levied, assessed or otherwise accrued or imposed for such Lease Year without regard to when such Taxes are payable. Taxes shall not include interest and penalties for late payment, except to the extent that such penalty or interest is attributable to Tenant’s failure to remit on a timely basis Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Taxes. If such interest or penalty is attributable solely to Tenant’s failure to remit Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Taxes, then Tenant shall be solely responsible for payment of such interest and/or penalty. If such interest or penalty is attributable to such failure by Tenant and to other tenants’ failure to pay their pro rata share of Taxes, Tenant shall pay its proportionate share of the amount of such interest and/or penalty.
“Tenant’s Pro Rata Share” shall mean the percentage computed from the fraction equal to the Rentable Square Feet within the Premises, divided by the total Rentable Square Feet in the Building. Tenant’s Pro Rata Share may be adjusted from time to time upon notice from Landlord on account of any reduction to or expansion of the Premises or the Building, whether from casualty, condemnation, alteration or otherwise.

SCHEDULE 1.4
OPTION TO EXTEND
A. Conditions to Exercise of Option. The Option may only be exercised by Tenant giving written notice thereof no more than fifteen (15) months nor less than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the initial term of this Lease or the preceding Option Period. If Tenant fails to give notice of exercise of the Option within such specified time period, the Option shall be deemed waived and of no further force and effect and this Lease shall terminate upon the expiration of the initial term of this Lease or the preceding Option Period. Tenant’s right to extend this Lease as provided for herein can be exercised only if, at the time of Tenant’s exercise of the Option and upon the commencement of the Option Period, (a) no Event of Default then exists under this Lease, and (b) Tenant is in possession of not less than 50% of the Premises. If either of such conditions are not satisfied, the Option shall be terminated and of no further force and effect, any purported exercise thereof shall be null and void, and this Lease shall terminate upon the expiration of the initial term of this Lease or the preceding Option Period. No sublessee of the Premises may exercise the Option, however this provision shall not prevent Tenant from exercising the Option to enable a sublessee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer (defined in Section 8.1(A) of the Lease) to utilize the Premises.
B. Procedure. If Tenant exercises the Option (in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Schedule 1.4), all of the terms, covenants and conditions provided in this Lease shall continue to apply during the Option Term, except that (i) the Base Rent during the Option Term shall be ninety-five percent (95%) of the then Market Base Rental Rate (as hereinafter defined) for the Premises, and (ii) any terms, covenants and conditions that are expressly or by their nature inapplicable to the Renewal Term shall be deemed void and of no further force and effect.
C. Market Base Rental Rate. As used herein, the term “Market Base Rental Rate” means the annual amount per Rentable Square Feet that a willing tenant would pay and a willing landlord would accept in arm’s length, bona fide negotiations for the Premises to be executed at the time of determination and to commence at the beginning of the Option Period, as determined by Landlord in good faith based upon comparable lease transactions (i.e., lease renewals, and expansions) made in the Building and in buildings of comparable quality located in the Fort Lauderdale Metropolitan Area within the previous one-year period taking into account any special conditions applicable to such spaces and leases for location, length of term, amount of space, tenant credit, outside broker involvement, improvement allowance and other rental concessions justified by the market. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice of exercise of the Option, Landlord will notify Tenant in writing of its determination of the Market Base Rental Rate for the Premises for the Option Period. If Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination, Tenant shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice to exercise Tenant’s option to have the Market Base Rental Rate determined pursuant to Section D below by written notice to Landlord. If Tenant does not give such notice, and Tenant does not advise Landlord, in writing, that Tenant accepts Landlord’s determination of Market Base Rental Rate within thirty (30) days from receipt of Landlord’s determination, Tenant shall be conclusively deemed to have rejected the Market Base Rental Rate determined by Landlord as the Base Rent for the Renewal Term and be deemed to have elected not to exercise the Option.
D. If Tenant elects, pursuant to Section C above, to have the Market Base Rental Rate determined under this Section within ten (10) days of the date of Tenant’s election, each party shall appoint a licensed commercial real estate broker with at least five (5) years’ full-time experience leasing office space in Broward County (“Qualified Broker”) to determine the Market Base Rental Rate (as hereinafter defined) for the Premises. If a party does not appoint a Qualified Broker within such ten (10) day period, then the single Qualified Broker shall be the sole Qualified Broker and shall set the Market
1
Base Rental Rate. The Qualified Brokers appointed by the parties shall meet promptly and attempt to set the Market Base Rental Rate. If they are unable to agree on the Market Base Rental Rate within twenty (20) days after the date the second Qualified Broker has been appointed, they shall elect a third Qualified Broker (acceptable to Tenant and Landlord) within ten (10) days after the last day the two (2) Qualified Brokers are to set the Market Base Rental Rate. Each of the parties shall pay for the Qualified Broker appointed by it and shall bear one-half of the cost of appointing the third Qualified Broker and of paying the third Qualified Broker’s fee. The third Qualified Broker, however selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for either party.
Within twenty (20) days after the selection of the third Qualified Broker, the third Qualified Broker shall determine the Market Base Rental Rate and all three of the Qualified Brokers’ Market Base Rental Rates shall be averaged excluding any single Market Base Rental Rate which is more than ten percent (10%) higher or lower than the middle determination of Market Base Rental Rate and the remaining determinations shall then be averaged. The Market Base Rental Rate as so determined shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant and the Lease shall be amended accordingly. Notwithstanding any reference to “renewal” as set forth herein, this option extends the Lease and the rights, and obligations of the parties thereto except as specifically set forth herein to the contrary.
All notifications contemplated by this Schedule 1.4, whether from Tenant to Landlord, or from Landlord to Tenant, shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner provided in the Lease. Failure of Tenant to give notice in accordance herewith, time being of the essence, shall render this option null and void. After the determination of the Market Base Rental Rate, Landlord shall prepare and submit to Tenant an amendment to this Lease to extend the term thereof within ten (10) business days. Should Tenant not execute and deliver such amendment within ten (10) business days of its receipt of the same, then, at Landlord’s sole option, Tenant’s Option to extend the term of this Lease shall be rendered null and void.
