or amount with respect to which such taxes are payable are paid by Tenant to
Landlord.
3.5. ADDITIONAL RENT.
If Landlord shall make any expenditure for which Tenant is responsible or liable
under this Lease, or if Tenant shall become obligated to Landlord under this

the same.

Rent and other sums shall be paid to Landlord in legal tender of the United
States at the address to which notices to Landlord are to be given or to such
other party or to such other address as Landlord may designate from time to time
by written notice to Tenant. If Landlord shall at any time accept any such rents
or other sums after the same shall become due and payable, such acceptance shall
not excuse a delay upon subsequent occasions, or constitute or be construed as a
waiver of any of Landlord's rights hereunder.
3.7. PAST DUE RENT.
If Tenant fails to make any payment of Rent on or before the fifteenth (15th)
day after such payment is due and payable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an
administrative late charge of five percent (5%) of the amount of such payment.
All past due sums payable hereunder, including past due payments of Rent, shall
bear interest at the maximum interest rate then allowable under the laws of the
State of Florida from the date such payment became due to the date of payment
thereof by Tenant. Such late charge and interest shall constitute Additional

notice to Tenant given at any time prior to the effective date of such proposed
assignment to accept an assignment of this Lease upon the same terms and
conditions and for the same consideration, if any, as the bona fide offer made
by such person, less any brokerage commissions which may be payable out of the
consideration to be paid by such person for the assignment of this Lease. Any
person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the provisions of

Page 7

levels, resulting or on account of any such lien. In the event that Tenant shall
fail to comply with the foregoing provisions of this Section, such failure shall
constitute a default hereunder and Landlord shall have, in addition to its other
rights under this Lease, the option of paying, satisfying or otherwise
discharging (by bonding or other) such lien, charge or encumbrance and Tenant
agrees to reimburse Landlord, upon demand and as Additional Rent, for all sums

of any tenant improvements or permitted Alterations, or by reason of any other

repair, restoration, replacement or reconstruction thereof by or on behalf of
Tenant. Tenant has no power, right or authority to subject Landlord's interest
in the Premises, Office Complex or Land to any mechanic's or materialmen's lien
or claim of lien or any other encumbrance whatsoever. If a lien, a claim of lien
or an order for the payment of money shall be imposed against the Premises,

leasehold estate and shall also clearly reflect that the interest of Landlord as
the fee simple owner of the Premises shall not be subject to mechanics or
materialmen's liens on account of the work which is the subject of such Notice

upon demand for such premium expense as Additional Rent.
12.5. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION.
Each of Landlord and Tenant hereby releases the other to the extent of its
insurance coverage, from any and all liability for any loss or damage caused by
fire or any of the extended coverage casualties, even if such fire or other
casualty shall be brought about by the fault or negligence of the other party,
or any person under such other party, provide, however, this release shall be in
force and effect only with respect to loss or damage occurring during such time
as the releaser's policies of fire and extended coverage insurance shall contain
a clause to the effect that this release shall not affect such policies or the
right of the releaser to recover thereunder. Each of Landlord and Tenant agrees
that its fire and extended coverage insurance policies shall include such a
clause so long as the same is obtainable and is included without extra cost, or
if such extra cost is chargeable therefor, so long as the other party pays such
extra cost. If extra cost is chargeable therefor, each party will advise the
other thereof and of the amount thereof, and the other party, at its election,
may pay the same but shall not be obligated to do so.

Tenant shall not conduct or permit to be conducted any activity, or place any
equipment, sign or furnishing, in or about the Premises or the Office Complex,

the Office Complex. If any increase in the rate of fire insurance or other
insurance is stated by any insurance company or by the applicable Insurance
Rating Bureau to be due to any activity or equipment of Tenant in or about the
Premises or the Office Complex, such statement shall be conclusive evidence that
the increase in such rate is due to such activity or equipment and, as a result
thereof, Tenant shall be liable for the amount of such increase. Tenant shall

scarcity of labor or materials, acts of God, governmental requirements or from
any other cause whatsoever unless caused by the wrongful acts or gross
negligence of Landlord. No such failure or inability of Landlord to furnish the
utilities or services required hereunder shall be deemed or considered to be or
constitute an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises, nor
shall it entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease or to receive an abatement of
any rent payable hereunder.
13.4. ENERGY CONSERVATION CONTROL.
Tenant shall comply with all mandatory and voluntary energy conservation
controls and requirements applicable to office buildings that are imposed or
instituted by any federal, state or local governmental body, including, without
limitation, controls on the permitted range of temperature settings in office
buildings, and requirements necessitating curtailment of the volume of energy
consumption or the hours of operation of the Office Complex. Any terms or
conditions of this Lease that conflict or interfere with compliance with such
controls or equipment shall be suspended for the duration of such controls or
requirements. Tenant's compliance with such controls or requirements shall not
be deemed or considered to be or constitute an eviction, actual or constructive,
of Tenant from the Premises, nor shall such compliance entitle Tenant to
terminate this Lease or to receive an abatement of any rent payable hereunder.
ARTICLE 14 - LIABILITY OF LANDLORD, INDEMNIFICATION BY TENANT
14.1. LIABILITY OF LANDLORD.
Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, its employees, agents, business
invitees, licensees, customers, clients, family members or guests for any
damage, injury, loss, compensation or claim, including but not limited to claims
for the interruption of or loss to Tenant's business, based on, arising out of
or resulting from any cause whatsoever, including, but not limited to (a)
repairs to any portion of the Premises or the Office Complex; (b) interruption
in Tenant's use of the Premises; (c) any accident or damage resulting from the
use or operation (by Landlord, Tenant or any other person or persons) of
elevators, or of heating, cooling, electrical or plumbing equipment or
apparatus; (d) the termination of this Lease by reason of the condemnation or
destruction of the Premises or the Office Complex in accordance with the
provisions of this Lease; (e) any fire, robbery, theft, mysterious disappearance
or other casualty; (f) the actions of any other tenants or occupants of the
Office Complex or of any other person or persons; and (g) any leakage in any
part or portion of the Premises or the Office Complex, whether from water, rain
or other precipitation that may leak into, or flow from, any part of the
Premises or the Office Complex, or from drains, pipes or plumbing fixtures in
the Premises or the Office Complex; unless caused by the wrongful acts or gross
negligence of Landlord.
Any goods, property or personal effects stored or placed by Tenant or its
employees in or about the Premises or Office Complex shall be at the sole risk
of Tenant, and Landlord shall not in any manner be held responsible therefor;
unless caused by the wrongful acts or gross negligence of Landlord.
Page 12
13
It is understood that the employees of Landlord are prohibited from receiving
any packages or other articles delivered to the Office Complex for Tenant, and
if any such employee receives any such package or articles, such employee shall
be acting as the agent of Tenant for such purposes and not as the agent of
Landlord.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, Landlord shall not be
released from liability to Tenant for any damage or injury caused by the willful
misconduct of Landlord or its employees; provided, however, in no event shall
Landlord have any liability to Tenant for any damages based on the interruption
of or loss to Tenant's business; unless caused by the wrongful acts or gross
negligence of Landlord.
14.2. INDEMNIFICATION OF LANDLORD.
Tenant shall defend, indemnify and save and hold Landlord harmless from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, injunctions,
suits, actions, fines, penalties, claims, demands, costs and expenses of every
kind or nature, including reasonable attorneys' fees (but not against any of the
same to the extent that a willful act or omission of Landlord gave rise
thereto), arising directly or indirectly from or out of (a) any failure by
Tenant to perform any of the terms, provisions, covenants or conditions of this
Lease on Tenant's part to be performed including, without limitation, the
failure to comply with the rules and regulations for which provisions are made
in Article XV; (b) any accident, injury, or damage which shall happen at, in or
upon the Premises, however occurring; (c) any matter or thing growing out of the
condition, occupation, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or operation by
Tenant (or its employees, agents, invitees, customers or contractors) of the
Premises, or the operation of the business conducted therefrom; (d) any failure
of Tenant, and/or its employees, agents, invitees, customers, licensees, or
contractors, to comply with any laws, ordinances, requirements, orders,
directions, rules or regulations or any governmental authority; (e) any
contamination of the Premises or the Office Complex occasioned by the use,
transportation, storage, spillage or discharge thereon, therein or therefrom of
any toxic or hazardous chemicals, compounds, materials or substances, by Tenant
or its employees, agents, invitees, customers, licensees or contractors; (f) any
use, generation, manufacture, storage, or release of any Hazardous Materials in
or about the Premises, the Office Complex or the Land, or the groundwater
thereof, or any discharge of toxic or hazardous sewage or waste materials from
the Premises into any sanitary sewer system serving the premises or the Office
Complex, whether by Tenant, its employees, agents, invitees, customers,
licensees or contractors; and (g) any other wrongful act or gross neglect of
Tenant, its employees, agents, invitees, customers, licensees, or contractors.
Tenant's indemnity obligation under this Section and elsewhere in this Lease
arising prior to the termination of this Lease shall survive any such
termination.
The Landlord shall defend, indemnify and save and hold the Tenant harmless from
and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, injunctions,
suits, actions, fines, penalties, claims, demands, costs and expenses of every
kind or nature, including reasonable attorneys' fees (but not against any of the
same to the extent that a willful act or omission of Tenant gave rise thereto)
arising directly or indirectly from the Landlord's wrongful acts or gross
neglect.
Page 13
14
14.3. NOTICE OF CLAIM OR SUIT.
Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any claim, action, proceeding or suit
instituted or threatened against Landlord of which Tenant received written
notice or of which Tenant acquires knowledge. In the event Landlord is made a
party to any action for damages or other relief against which Tenant has
indemnified Landlord, as aforesaid, Tenant shall defend Landlord, pay all costs
and shall provide effective counsel to Landlord in such litigation, or, at
Landlord's option, shall pay all reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred
by Landlord in connection with its own defense or settlement of said litigation.
14.4. TRANSFER OF OFFICE COMPLEX.
In the event that at any time Landlord shall sell or transfer the Office
Complex, or that portion thereof which includes the Premises, provided the
purchaser or transferee assumes the obligations of Landlord hereunder, Landlord
named herein shall not be liable to Tenant for any obligations or liabilities
based on or arising out of events or conditions occurring on or after the date
of such sale or transfer. Furthermore, Tenant agrees to attorn to any such
purchaser or transferee upon all terms and conditions of this Lease. Upon any
sale of the Office Complex by Landlord, the Landlord shall notify the Tenant of
the name and address of such transferee.
14.5. NO OFFSET AGAINST RENT.
In the event that Tenant shall at any time during the Lease Term have a claim
against Landlord, Tenant shall not have the right to offset or deduct the amount
allegedly owed by Landlord to Tenant against or from any rent or other sums
payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, except as otherwise expressly set forth
herein, it being understood that Tenant's sole remedy for recovering upon such
claim shall be to institute an independent action against Landlord.
14.6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF LANDLORD.
In the event Tenant is awarded a money judgment against Landlord, Tenant's sole
recourse for satisfaction of such judgment shall be limited to execution against
the Office Complex assets of Landlord. In no event shall any employee, officer,
director or shareholder of Landlord become or remain personally liable for the
satisfaction of any claims or judgments that Tenant may have against Landlord.
ARTICLE 15 - RULES AND REGULATIONS
Tenant and its agents, employees, invitees, licensees, customers, clients,
family members, guests and permitted subtenants shall at all times abide by and
observe the rules and regulations for the Office Complex attached hereto as
Exhibit "C" and made a part hereof by this reference. Landlord shall have the
right from time to time to amend, modify, delete or add new and additional rules
and regulations with respect to the safety, operation and maintenance of the
Premises and the Office Complex and the comfort, quiet and convenience of the
other tenants and occupants in the Office Complex, provided that notice thereof
is given to Tenant and that such new or modified rules and regulations are not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Lease and do not materially interfere
with Tenant's use of the Premises for the permitted uses. Nothing contained in
this Lease shall be construed as imposing upon Landlord any duty or obligation
to enforce any such rules and regulations, or the terms conditions or covenants
contained in any other lease, as against any other tenant, and Landlord shall
not be liable to Tenant for the violation of any such rules or regulations
Page 14
15
by any other tenant or its employees, agents, business invitees, licensees,
contractors, customers, clients, family member or guests. The failure by
Landlord to enforce any such rules and regulations against Tenant or any other
tenant of the Office Complex shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right
to do so in the future nor any default hereunder by Landlord. If there is any
inconsistency between this Lease and such rules and regulations, the provisions
of this Lease shall govern.
ARTICLE 16 - DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
16.1. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.
If, during the Lease Term, the Premises or the Office Complex are totally or
substantially damaged or destroyed from any cause, so as to render the Premises
totally or substantially inaccessible or unusable, either party shall have the
right, in their sole discretion, to terminate this Lease by giving written
notice of such termination to other party within forty-five (45) days after the
occurrence of such damage or destruction. If this Lease is terminated by either
party pursuant to this Section, all rent payable hereunder shall be apportioned
and paid to the date of such casualty. If this Lease is not terminated pursuant
to this Section then, until the repair and restoration of the Premises is
completed, Tenant shall be required to pay Base Rent and Additional Rent only
for that part of the Premises that Tenant is able to use while repairs are being
made, based on the ratio that the amount of usable rentable area bears to the
total rentable area in the Premises; provided, however that there shall be no
such reduction in Base Rent or Additional Rent if such damage was caused by the
act or omission of Tenant or any of its employees, agents, licensees,
subtenants, invitees, customers, clients, family members or guests. If such
repairs and restorations are with respect to any such damage or destruction
which was caused by the act or omission of Tenant or any of its employees,
agents, licensees, subtenants, contractors, invitees, customers, clients, family
members or guests, upon written demand from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the amount by which such costs and expenses exceed the insurance
proceeds, if any, received by Landlord on account of such damage or destruction
together with such other losses or damages which Landlord may reasonably suffer
or sustain on account thereof.
16.2. TERMINATION OPTION.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Office Complex
is damaged or destroyed, whether or not the Premises are damaged or destroyed,
from any cause to such an extent that the costs of repairing and restoring the
Office Complex would exceed fifty percent (50%) of the replacement value of the
Office Complex, Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease
by written notice to the other. This right of termination shall be in addition
to any other right of termination provided in this Lease.
ARTICLE 17 - CONDEMNATION
17.1. CONDEMNATION.
If the whole or a substantial part (as hereinafter defined) of the Premises, or
the use or occupancy of the Premises, shall be taken or condemned for any public
or quasi-public use or purpose (including a sale thereof under threat of such a
taking), then this Lease shall terminate on the date title thereto vests in the
condemning authority, and all rent payable hereunder shall be apportioned as of
such date. If less than a substantial part of the Premises, or the use or
occupancy thereof, is
Page 15
16
taken or condemned for any public or quasi-public use or purpose (including a
sale thereof under threat of such a taking), then this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect, except that the rent payable hereunder shall be equitably
adjusted (on the basis of the ratio of the number of square feet of rentable
area taken to the total rentable area in the Premises prior to such
condemnation) as of the date title vests in the condemning authority. For
purposes of this Section, a substantial part of the Premises shall be considered
to have been taken if more than one-third (1/3) of the Premises is rendered
unusable as a result of such condemnation.
17.2. AWARD.
All awards, damages and other compensation paid by the condemning authority on
account of such taking or condemnation (or sale under threat of such taking)
shall belong to Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all rights to
such awards, damages and compensation. Tenant agrees not to make any claim
against Landlord or the condemning authority for any portion of such award or
compensation attributable to damages to the Premises, the value of the unexpired
term of this Lease, the loss of profits or goodwill, leasehold improvements or
severance damages. Nothing contained herein, however, shall prevent Tenant from
pursuing a separate claim against the condemning authority for the value of
furnishings, equipment and trade fixtures installed in the Premises at Tenant's
expense and for relocation expenses.
ARTICLE 18 - DEFAULT BY TENANT
18.1. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
The occurrence of any of the following ("Events of Default") shall constitute a
breach of and default under this Lease:
(a) If Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Base Rent or Additional
Rent when due, or shall fail to pay when due any other payment required under
this Lease and such failure to pay continues for a period of ten (10) days after
Landlord delivers written notice to Tenant describing the default;
(b) If Tenant shall violate or fail to comply with or perform any other
term, condition, covenant or agreement to be performed or observed by Tenant

substantial part of its property;
(e) If Tenant shall take any corporate action to authorize any of the
actions set forth in paragraphs (c) or (d) above; or
Page 16
17
(f) If any case, proceeding or other action against Tenant or any guarantor
of Tenant's obligations hereunder shall be commenced seeking to have an order
for relief entered against it as debtor, or seeking reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts under any
law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, or
seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official
for it or for all or any substantial part of its property, and such case,
proceeding or other action (i) results in the entry of an order for relief
against it which is not fully; stayed within seven (7) business days after the
entry thereof, or (ii) remains undisguised for a period of sixty (60) days.
(g) If Tenant's leasehold interest in the Premises or property therein
shall be seized under any levy, execution, attachment or other process of court
where the same shall not be vacated or stayed on appeal or otherwise within
seven (7) days thereafter, or if Tenant's leasehold interest in the Premises is
sold by judicial sale or otherwise;
(h) If Tenant shall abandon the Premises;
(i) If the Premises is used or permitted to be used for any purpose, or the
conduct of any business or activity, not permitted by this Lease;
(j) If any assignment, sublease or transfer shall be made or deemed to be
made that is in violation of the provision of Article VI of this Lease;
(k) If Tenant shall fail to abide by, comply with or conform to any of the
rules and regulations established and promulgated by Landlord for and with
respect to the Premises and the Office Complex.
18.2. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT.
If any of the Events of Default specified in Section 18.1 of this Lease shall
occur, Landlord, at any time thereafter, shall have and may exercise any rights
or remedies available at law or in equity, including, but not limited to, the
following rights and remedies:
(a) Landlord may, pursuant to written notice thereof to Tenant, terminate
this Lease and, peaceably or pursuant to appropriate legal proceedings,
re-enter, retake and resume possession of the Premises for Landlord's own
account and, for Tenant's breach of and default under this Lease, recover
immediately from Tenant any and all rents and other sums and damages due or in
existence at the time of such termination, including, without limitation, (i)
all Base Rent (ii) all other sums, charges, payments, costs and expenses agreed
and/or required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, (iii) all reasonable
costs and expenses of Landlord in connection with the recovery of possession of
the Premises, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, (iv) all
free rent credits and rental abatements, if any, granted to Tenant as
concessions in connection with this Lease, (v) all reasonable costs and expenses
of Landlord in connection with any relating or attempted relating of the
Premises or any part or parts thereof, including, without limitation, brokerage
fees, necessary attorneys' fees and the cost of any alterations or repairs which
may be reasonably required to so relate the Premises, or any part or parts
thereof.
Page 17
18
(b) Landlord may, pursuant to any prior notice required by law, and without
terminating this Lease, peaceably or pursuant to appropriate legal proceedings,
reenter, retake and resume possession of the Premises for the account of Tenant,
make such alterations of and repairs to the Premises as may be reasonably
necessary in order to relate the same or any part or parts thereof and relate or
attempt to relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof for such term or
terms (which may be for a term or terms extending beyond the Lease Term), at
such rents and upon such other terms and provisions as Landlord, in its sole,
but reasonable, discretion, may deem advisable. If Landlord relets or attempts
to relet the Premises, Landlord shall be the sole judge as to the terms and
provisions of any new lease or sublease and of whether or not a particular
proposed new tenant or subtenant is acceptable to Landlord. Upon any reletting,
all rents, whether Base Rent or Additional Rent, received by Landlord from such
reletting shall be applied, (a) first, to the payment of all costs and expenses
of recovering possession of the Premises, (b) second, to the payment of any
costs and expenses of such reletting, including brokerage fees, attorney's fees
and the cost of any alterations, restorations and repairs reasonably required
for such reletting; (c) third, to the payment of any indebtedness, other than
rent, due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord, (d) fourth, to the repayment of
Landlord of all free rent credits and rental abatements, if any, granted to
tenant as concessions in connection with this lease, (e) fifth, to the payment
of all rents due and unpaid hereunder, and (f) sixth, the residue, if any shall
be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rents the same may become
due and payable hereunder.
(c) If the rents received from such reletting during any period shall be
less than that required to be paid during that period by Tenant hereunder,
Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord within ten (10) days after
demand therefor and, upon Tenant's failure to do so, Landlord shall immediately
be entitled to institute legal proceedings for the recovery and collection of
the same. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid at the time each payment
of rent shall otherwise become due under this Lease, or, at the option of
Landlord, at the end of the Lease Term. Landlord shall, in addition, be
immediately entitled to xxx for and otherwise recover from Tenant any other
damages occasioned by or resulting from any abandonment of the Premises or other
breach of or default under this Lease other than a default in the payment of
rent. No such re-entry, retaking or resumption of possession of the Premises by
Landlord for the account of Tenant shall be construed as an election on the part
of Landlord to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention
shall be given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such re-entry and reletting or
attempted reletting of the Premises or any part or parts thereof for the account
of Tenant without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter, upon written
notice to Tenant, elect to terminate this Lease or pursue any other remedy
available to Landlord for Tenant's previous breach of or default under this
Lease; and
(d) Landlord may, without re-entering, retaking or resuming possession of
the Premises, xxx for all rents, including Base Rent, and all other sums,
charges, payments, costs and expenses due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder as
they become due under this Lease.
18.3. ADDITIONAL REMEDIES.
In addition to the remedies hereinabove specified and enumerated in Section
18.2, Landlord shall have the right of injunction and shall have and may
exercise the right to invoke any other remedies allowed at law or in equity as
if the remedies or re-entry, unlawful detailer proceedings and other remedies
were not herein provided. Accordingly, the mention in this Lease of any
particular remedy
Page 18
19
shall not preclude Landlord from having or exercising any other remedy set forth
in this Lease or at law or in equity. Nothing herein contained shall be
construed as precluding Landlord from having or exercising such lawful remedies
as may be and become necessary in order to preserve Landlord's right or the
interest of Landlord in the Premises and in this Lease, even before the
expiration of the notice periods provided for in this Lease, if under the
particular circumstances then existing the allowance of such notice periods will
prejudice or will endanger the right sand estate of Landlord in this Lease and
in the Premises.
18.4. NO WAIVER.
If Landlord shall institute proceedings against Tenant and a compromise or
settlement thereof shall be made, the same shall not constitute a wavier of the
same or of any other covenant, condition or agreement set forth herein, nor of
any of Landlord's rights hereunder. Neither the payment by or Tenant of a lesser
amount than the installments of Base Rent, Additional Rent or of any sums due
hereunder nor any endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying a
check for payment of rent or other sums payable hereunder shall be deemed an
accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without
prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such rent or other sums
or to pursue any other remedy available to Landlord. No re-entry by Landlord,
and no acceptance by Landlord of keys from Tenant, shall be considered an
acceptance of a surrender of this Lease.
18.5. LANDLORD MAY CURE TENANT'S DEFAULTS.
If Tenant defaults in the making of any payment or in doing of any act herein
required to be made or done by Tenant, then Landlord may, but shall not be
required to, make such payment or do such act. If Landlord, elects to make such
payment or do such act, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord,
plus interest thereon at the highest rate allowable under the laws of the State
of Florida from the date paid by Landlord to the date of payment thereof by
Tenant, shall be immediately paid by Tenant to Landlord, provided, however, that
nothing contained herein shall be construed as permitting Landlord to charge or
receive interest in excess of the maximum legal rate then allowed by law. The
taking of such action by Landlord shall not be considered as a cure of such
default by Tenant or bar Landlord from pursuing any remedy to which it is
otherwise entitled on account of such default.
18.6. LANDLORD DEFAULT.
In the event that the Landlord shall default in its obligations under this
Lease, which default is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice
from Tenant to Landlord (provided such 30 day time period shall be extended for
a reasonable period of time if Landlord commences to cure within such time
period and is proceeding with due diligence to complete such cure), then the
Tenant shall be entitled to its remedies available at law or in equity for such
breach
ARTICLE 19 - SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND QUIET ENJOYMENT
19.1. SUBORDINATION.
This Lease, Tenant's interest hereunder and Tenant's leasehold interest in and
to the Premises, are hereby agreed by Tenant to be and are hereby made junior,
inferior, subordinate and subject in right, title, interest, lien, encumbrance,
priority, and all other respects to any mortgage or mortgages now
Page 19
20
in force and effect upon or encumbering any or all, or any combination, of the
Premises and the Office Complex, or any parts thereof, and to all future
modifications, extensions, renewals, consolidations and replacements of, and all
amendments and supplements to any such mortgage or mortgages. With respect to
any mortgage or mortgages executed after the date hereof, the same shall be
deemed to be prior in dignity, lien and encumbrance to this Lease, Tenant's
interest hereunder and Tenant's leasehold interest in and to the Premises, on
the condition that the lender delivers a non-disturbance agreement to Tenant.
The foregoing subordination provisions of this Section shall be automatic and
self-operative without the necessity of the execution of any further instrument
or agreement of subordination on the part of Tenant. However, Tenant agrees to
execute and deliver, not later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of a written
request therefor from Landlord or the holder or proposed holder of any mortgage,
any reasonable instrument or agreement of subordination of this Lease, Tenant's
interest hereunder or Tenant's leasehold interest in the Premises to any such
mortgage or mortgages in confirmation or furtherance of or in addition to the
foregoing subordination provisions of this Section, provided lender's
non-disturbance agreement is also set forth therein. Failure to do so by Tenant
shall, at Landlord's option, constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease and
Landlord shall be entitled thereupon to exercise any and all remedies available
to Landlord pursuant to this Lease or otherwise provided by law, including,
without limitation, the cancellation and termination of this Lease without
incurring any liability to Tenant on account thereof. The provisions of this
Section are material considerations for an inducement of the execution of this
Lease by Landlord and its demise of the Premises to Tenant. Accordingly, any
breach or default by Tenant of its covenants and obligations hereunder shall be
deemed to be and constitute a material and substantial breach and default of
this Lease by Tenant.
19.2. ATTORNMENT.
Tenant shall and hereby agrees to attorn, and be bound under all of the terms,
provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease, to any successor of the
interest of Landlord under this Lease for the balance of the term of this Lease
remaining at the time of the succession of such interest to such successor. In
particular, in the event that any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of
any mortgage encumbering any or all, or a portion of, the Premises and the
Office Complex, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser at any such foreclosure
sale and recognize such purchaser as Landlord under this Lease, subject,
however, to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease. Tenant agrees that
neither the purchaser at any such foreclosure sale nor the foreclosing mortgagee
shall have any liability for any act or omission of Landlord, be subject to any
offsets or defenses which Tenant may have as a claim against Landlord, or be
bound by any advance rents which may have been paid by Tenant to Landlord more
than one month in advance.
19.3. QUIET ENJOYMENT.
Tenant, upon paying the minimum rent, additional rent and other charges herein
provided for, and observing and keeping all covenants, agreements and conditions
of this Lease on its part to be kept, shall quietly have and enjoy the Premises
during the Lease Term without hindrance or molestation by anyone claiming by or
through Landlord, subject, however, to the exceptions, reservations and
conditions of this Lease.
Page 20
21
ARTICLE 20 - END OF TERM
20.1. SURRENDER OF PREMISES.
Upon the expiration or other termination of the Lease Term, Tenant shall
surrender the Premises, broom clean, in the same order and condition in which
they are in on the Lease Commencement Date, ordinary wear, tear and casualty
(subject to the obligations of Tenant) excepted. All improvements to the
Premises or the Office Complex made by either party shall remain upon and be
surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof at the end of the Lease Term,
except that if Tenant is not in default under this Lease, Tenant shall have the
right to remove, prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, all movable
furniture, furnishings and equipment installed in the Premises solely at the
expense of Tenant. All damage and injury to the Premises or the Office Complex
caused by such removal shall be repaired by Tenant, at Tenant's sole expense,
or, at Landlord's option, Landlord may repair such damage at Tenant's expense,
which shall be repaid to Landlord upon demand, with interest accruing until
paid. If such property of Tenant is not removed by Tenant prior to the
expiration or termination of this Lease, the same shall become the property of
Landlord and shall be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof.
Notwithstanding any covenant or condition of this Article to the contrary,
however, Landlord may require, in its sole discretion, that any or all
improvements made by or on behalf of Tenant within or upon the Premises by
removed upon the termination of this Lease, or upon any default by Tenant, and
Tenant hereby agrees to cause same to be removed and the Premises to be
restored, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, or, at Landlord's option, Landlord
may remove and restore the same at Tenant's expense, which shall be repaid to
Landlord upon demand, together with any and all damages Landlord may suffer or
sustain by reason of the failure of Tenant to remove the same.
20.2. HOLDING OVER.
If Tenant or any other person or party shall remain in possession of the
Premises or any part thereof following the expiration of the term or earlier
termination of this Lease without an extension agreement in writing between
Landlord and Tenant with respect thereto, then in addition to any and all other
rights and remedies available to Landlord for such holdover, the Tenant shall be
deemed to be a tenant at sufferance, and during any such holdover, the rents and
other amounts payable under this Lease by such tenant at sufferance shall be one
hundred fifty percent (150%) of the rate or rates in effect immediately prior to
the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination of this Lease. In no
event, however, shall such holding over be deemed or construed to be or
constitute a renewal or extension of this Lease.
ARTICLE 21 - PARKING
21.1. PARKING.
During the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the use in common, on a non-exclusive,
self-parking basis, with other tenants and occupants of the Office Complex, of
the parking area adjacent to the Office Complex. The Tenant shall be entitled to
use, on a non-exclusive basis, the parking which exists for the Office Complex,
provided Landlord shall have the right to set aside designated parking as it may
reasonably desire and if Landlord does so, then Landlord agrees that it will
designate up to five (5) parking spaces for vice presidents and more senior
officers of the Tenant.
Page 21
22
21.2. NO LIABILITY OF LANDLORD.
Landlord does not assume any responsibility for, and shall not be held liable
for, any damage or loss to any automobiles or other vehicles parked in the
parking lot or to any personal property located in parked vehicles, or for any
injury sustained by any person in or about the parking lot, unless caused by the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.
ARTICLE 22 - RELOCATION OF TENANT
22.1. RELOCATION.
Recognizing that the Office Complex is large and needs of Landlord and Tenant as
to space may vary from time to time, and in order for Landlord to accommodate
the needs of Landlord, Tenant and prospective tenants, Landlord expressly
reserves the right, prior to and/or during the Lease Term, at Landlord's sole
expense, to move Tenant upon at least five (5) business days notice from the
data portions of the Premises (but not the enclosed office portions of the
Premises) and relocate Tenant in other comparable space of Landlord's choosing
of approximately the same dimensions and size within the Office Complex.
22.2. NO INTERFERENCE.
During the relocation period Landlord will use reasonable efforts not to unduly
interfere with Tenant's business activities and Landlord agrees to substantially
complete the relocation within a reasonable time under all then-existing
