A. That certain warehouse space having an overall area of approximately 104,388 square feet, including approximately 22,795 square feet of office space (hereinafter the “Premises”), and which space is located in a Building with a street address of 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xx.

The Land and Building are part of Gateway Business Park, owned and operated by Lessor (the “Business Park”). The Building has an approximate overall area of 132,548 square feet. The area of the Premises and Building is calculated by measuring the square footage of ground floor from the outside surface of the exterior walls (and as to the Premises, to the center of any demising wall). Attached hereto, marked Exhibit “B” and by this reference incorporated herein is a floor plan of the Premises which is intended only to show the general layout of the Premises and is not intended to be scaled; any measurements or distances shown should be taken as approximate.

The appurtenant, non-exclusive right to use the driveways, walkways, parking areas, utility easements, and other common areas of the Building and Land, including without limitation, Lessee’s Proportionate Share (as defined in Section 7 below) of the parking spaces located on the Land. In addition, Lessee shall have the exclusive right to use the “truck loading area” and the 20 parking reserved and visitor parking spaces, all as identified on Exhibit “A”.
1. Lease Term.
(a) The initial term of this Lease (the “Initial Term”) shall be for a period of twelve (12) years, commencing on the first (1st) day of October, 2004, as adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit “C” (the “Commencement Date”). In addition, Lessee shall have the right to renew and extend this Lease (the “Renewal Option”) for two (2) renewal terms of five (5) years each (each, a “Renewal Term”), the first of which will commence upon the expiration of the Initial Term, and the second of which will commence upon the expiration of the first Renewal Term (if exercised). Lessee shall exercise this renewal option by giving Lessor written notice thereof at least nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the then current term (the Initial Term or first Renewal Term). In the event of such renewal, the “Term” shall include such Renewal Term and such renewal shall be upon the same provisions as for the Initial Term except that Base Rent shall be equal to Market Rate as determined hereunder.
Within five (5) days after Lessor receives Lessee’s notice that it is exercising the Renewal Option (“Exercise Notice”), Lessor shall notify Lessee of Lessor’s good faith determination of the Market Rate. Within fifteen (15) days after Lessee’s receipt of Lessor’s determination, Lessee shall notify Lessor whether Lessee accepts or rejects said determination. In the event Lessee fails to notify Lessor within the foregoing fifteen (15) day period, Lessee shall be deemed to have rejected Lessor’s determination. If Lessee gives Lessor timely notice of its objection to Lessor’s determination, the arbitration process hereinafter set forth shall determine the Market Rate. Each party, at their own expense, shall then designate a real estate broker with not less than ten (10) years experience in commercial leasing transactions in the Pinellas County, Florida area and who has leased a minimum of 2 million square feet of industrial space, who shall determine and promptly report (and in no event later than the forty fifth (45th) day following Lessor’s receipt of the Exercise Notice) to both Lessor and Lessee in writing its determination of the Market Rate. If the higher of the Market Rates reported by the brokers is no more than five (5%) percent more than the lower rate, the Market Rate shall be an average of such amounts. However, if the higher amount is more than 105% of the lower amount, then within ten (10) days after receipt of both reports, Lessor and Lessee shall jointly appoint a third broker meeting the aforesaid criteria (or if Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree on such broker, each party shall identify a third broker acceptable to it, and the parties shall determine by coin flip which broker shall become the third broker), and the third broker shall determine the Market Rate by selecting either Lessor’s Market Rate determination or Lessee’s Market Rate determination according to whichever of the two valuations as set forth in the reports from Lessor’s broker or Lessee’s broker, respectively, is closer to the actual Market Rate in the opinion of such third broker. The third broker shall have no discretion other than to select one or the other report as aforesaid. The costs of such third broker shall be shared equally by Lessor and Lessee. The parties shall work together and coordinate efforts to obtain such third broker’s report in writing no later than sixty (60) days following the date of Lessor’s receipt of the Exercise Notice. Pending such determination and in the event the Renewal Term commences prior to the final determination of the Market Rate, Lessee shall continue to pay to Lessor the Minimum Rent payable for the last month of the then-current Initial Term or Renewal Term, subject to adjustment upon determination of Market Rate.

Lessee may, at its sole election, remove any tenant improvement installed by Lessee except as otherwise stated hereinabove at the termination of the Lease provided Lessee pays the cost of removal and repairs of any and all damage in or to the Premises resulting from such removal.

As additional rental hereunder (“Additional Rental”), Lessee shall pay to Lessor, monthly in advance, Lessee’s Proportionate Share of: (i) the cost of Lessor’s insurance described in Section 4(b) above, (ii) real estate taxes described in Section 5, above, and (iii) Common Area Maintenance described in Section 6, above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Lessee shall not be obligated to pay Controllable Expenses in any calendar year which exceed by more than five percent (5%) the Controllable Expenses for the immediately preceding calendar year. “Controllable Expenses” means all Additional Rental except taxes, insurance and utilities. “Lessee’s Proportionate Share” means a fraction, the numerator of which is the square footage contained in the Premises, and the denominator of which is the square footage contained in the Building. Assuming Lessor’s measurement of the Building and Premises set forth in the Witnesseth provision of this Lease are correct, Lessee’s Proportionate Share is 78.75%. Prior to the commencement of each calendar year of the Lease term, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Lessor shall give Lessee written notice of its good faith estimate of the Additional Rental due from Lessee the ensuing year of the Lease term. On the first day of each calendar month of the ensuing year, Lessee shall pay to Lessor 1/12th of such estimated amount, provided, if such notice is not given on or before the January rental payment is due, Lessee shall continue to pay on the basis of the prior year’s estimate until the month after such notice is given. If at any time or times it appears to Lessor determines in good faith that its estimate of Additional Rental for the current year is understated by at least ten percent (10%), Lessor may, by written notice to Lessee, revise its estimate for such year, and subsequent payments of monthly installments of Additional Rental by Lessee shall be based upon such revised estimates. Within ninety (90) days after end of each calendar year of the Lease term, or as soon after such ninety (90) day period as practicable, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee a statement of Additional Rental and Base Rent payable under this paragraph for such year, certified by Lessor’s chief financial officer to be true and correct. If such statement shows that Lessee’s estimated payments for such year exceed the actual amount due, Lessor shall refund such excess payment to Lessee with delivery of the statement of Additional Rental. If such statement shows an amount owing by Lessee that is more than the estimated payments for such year previously made by Lessee, Lessee shall pay the deficiency to Lessor within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the statement. In the event the Commencement Date or the expiration date of this Lease fall on days other than January 1 and December 31, respectively, Additional Rental payable under this paragraph shall be calculated on a per diem basis for the actual number of days of the Lease term falling in the applicable calendar year.
11
Lessee, at its expense, shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit Lessor’s books and records relating to items affecting Additional Rental for any calendar year during the Lease term; provided that Lessee’s right to audit shall expire within two (2) years after Lessor has furnished to Lessee its Statement for the applicable calendar year and the final audit right shall expire within ninety (90) days from the Lease Termination Date and, Lessee has not notified Lessor in writing of Lessee’s election to conduct an audit. If Lessee has timely exercised its option to conduct an audit, Lessee shall have a period of ninety (90) days in which to complete the audit, which ninety (90) day period shall only commence after Lessor has afforded Lessee full access to such documents (in a location within the Business Park) as are in Lessor’s possession or control and which are necessary to conduct the audit including, without limitation (to the extent within Lessor’s possession and control), work papers prepared by Lessor’s certified public accountants, canceled checks, invoices, and such other documents as may be reasonably required, all of which documents shall be in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards. Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee as to facilitate the performance of Lessee’s audit. In the event that it is ultimately determined that a refund of any Additional Rental paid by Lessee which exceeds five percent (5%) of the total so paid by Lessee for such year (by agreement of the parties, by a final court determination, or otherwise) that the actual Additional Rental for any year is less than the amount set forth in Lessor’s Statement, then Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for such overcharge within fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice thereof. If the overcharge is by an amount in excess of five percent (5%), Lessor shall also reimburse Lessee for the cost or fees paid by Lessee in connection with such audit.
8. Quiet Possession. Lessor covenants, promises and agrees with Lessee that so long as the Lease term has not expired or otherwise terminated, Lessee shall and may lawfully, peacefully and quietly have, hold, use, occupy and enjoy the Premises hereby leased without disturbance.
12

Lessee will not use or permit to be used the Premises hereby leased for any unlawful purpose or in any manner which would constitute a nuisance. Lessee will at all times comply with all laws or ordinances of any and all duly constituted governmental or municipal authorities, and of any and all of their departments and bureaus applicable to Lessee’s use of the Premises, and all lawful rules and regulations promulgated by said authorities and bureaus in connection with Lessee’s use of the Premises.

Lessee shall have no authority to incur, create or permit, and shall not incur, create, permit or suffer any lien for labor or materials or services to attach to the interest or estate of either Lessor or Lessee in the Premises or other real estate of which the Premises form a part, and neither Lessee, nor anyone claiming by, through or under Lessee, shall have any right to file or place any labor or material lien of any kind or character whatsoever or any mechanics lien or other lien of any kind, upon the Premises or other real estate of which the Premises form a part, so as to encumber or affect the title of Lessor, and all persons contracting with Lessee directly or indirectly, or with any person who in turn is contracting with Lessee, for the erection, construction, installation, alteration or repair of the Premises or any improvements therein or thereon, including fixtures and equipment, and all materialmen, contractors, mechanics, laborers, architects, engineers and others are hereby charged with notice that as and from the date of this instrument, they and each of them must look to Lessee only to secure the payment of any bills or charges or claims for work done, or materials furnished, or services rendered or performed during the term hereby demised.

12. Assignment and Subletting. Lessee will not assign this Lease without the written consent of Lessor, and Lessor agrees that such consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event that Lessor does consent to such assignment or subletting, it is understood and agreed that such will in no way relieve Lessee of its obligation to pay the rents as provided herein during the term of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Lessee shall have the right, without obtaining Lessor’s consent, but with prior written notice to Lessor (where permitted by applicable law), to: (a) assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of the Premises to a parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Lessee, or to a successor of Lessee (by merger, consolidation, or transfer of all or substantially all of Lessee’s assets), or (b) assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of the Premises to any operating division, group, department, or group of individuals formerly controlled by or under common control with Lessee (collectively an “Operating Unit”), which has ceased to be controlled by or under common control with Lessee as a result of a spin-off from Lessee or otherwise (regardless of whether such assignment or sublet is to a new entity formed by such Operating Unit, or to an existing entity of which the Operating Unit becomes a part). In no event will any such assignment release Lessee from its obligations under this Lease.
13. Inspection and Emergency Access. Lessee will permit Lessor to enter upon the Premises upon reasonable notice during the usual business hours for the purpose of making inspections or repairs, or for the purposes of obeying any laws or orders of any duly constituted governmental or municipal authorities, and/or for the purpose of exhibiting the Premises to prospective tenants or purchasers within six (6) months of the expiration of the Lease, provided Lessor does not materially or unnecessarily interfere with the operation of Lessee’s business. In making such inspections or repairs, Lessor shall observe all reasonable security regulations of Lessee and shall hold in confidence any information concerning business or products of Lessee which they, or any of them, may discover while present on the Premises.
14
In addition, Lessor shall have the right of emergency access (where Lessor reasonably deems that life or property are in immediate peril) to the Premises without any required notice to Lessee. By way of example and without limitation, Lessor shall have the right of emergency access in case of fire, fire alarm or circumstances where Lessor reasonably deems that life or property are in immediate peril. In order to facilitate said emergency access, Lessee shall at all times during the term of this Lease provide Lessor with a set of working keys and current alarm codes for the Premises. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require emergency access by Lessor or result in any Lessor liability for its actions or failure to take action.
14. Hazard Damage. The parties hereto agree if, by virtue of fire, storm or any cause other than the deliberate act of Lessee, the Premises becomes partly or wholly unusable by Lessee for Lessee’s intended purpose, then and in that event, the Base Rent and Additional Rental shall xxxxx in proportion to the area of the Premises which are unusable for Lessee’s intended use for so long as they remain unusable. In the event the Premises are not totally destroyed, Lessor agrees to rebuild the Premises to their condition immediately preceding the casualty with all possible dispatch and deliver the same to Lessee within a period of one hundred eighty (180) days after the event causing the destruction. In the event the Premises are totally destroyed (which for purposes of this paragraph means that in the reasonable opinion of a licensed general contractor, restoration would require more than 240 days after the date of the casualty), then Lessee shall have the option to terminate this Lease within a period of thirty (30) days after the same destruction. In the event this Lease is not thus terminated, Lessor agrees to rebuild the Premises with all possible dispatch and deliver the same to Lessee within a period of not more than two hundred forty (240) days after an event causing total destruction. However, in no event shall Lessor be obligated to do any rebuilding if the remaining term of this Lease, including any exercised renewal option, shall have less than one (1) year to run following the expected completion of such rebuilding. Lessee shall also be responsible for all of Lessee’s equipment and/or data contained in said equipment in the event of an electrical storm or other hazard which may cause damage or destruction of data in computers and other equipment.
15. Alterations. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, Lessee will not make any improvements, installations, alterations or additions in or to the Premises without the written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If Lessor consents to such improvements, alterations or additions, any such improvements shall be installed at Lessee’s expense in substantial accordance with plans approved by Lessor and only by such contractors reasonably acceptable to Lessor. Lessee also agrees that all work will be done in a workmanlike manner, with all applicable permits being obtained and shall conform to all applicable codes. To the extent that any alteration is atypical of leasehold improvements within the Business Park and imposes demolition costs in connection with its removal materially greater than that of typical leasehold improvements, then if Lessor notifies Lessee in writing at the time of Lessor’s approval of such alteration that Lessee must remove such alterations at the expiration of the Lease term, Lessee shall remove such alterations and restore the Premises to its condition prior to the construction of those alterations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor has approved Lessee’s leasehold improvements related to the construction of the approximately 22,795 square feet of office space within the Premises, and Lessee shall not be required to demolish or remove any portion of such leasehold improvements at the expiration of the Lease term.
15
16. Subordination. Lessor represents and warrants to Lessee that Lessor holds fee simple title to the Building and Land, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except for the mortgage in favor of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America, Inc. (the “Lender”). Simultaneously with Lessor’s delivery of the executed original of this Lease to Lessee, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “H” (the “SNDA”) executed by the Lender. At the request of any subsequent mortgagee of Lessor who agrees to execute and deliver an SNDA to Lessee, Lessee agrees to execute and deliver an SNDA to such mortgagee. Any mortgage placed on the Premises by Lessor will not cover the equipment, furniture or furnishings owned by Lessee.
17. Estoppel Letter. Each party shall, within fifteen (15) days after receiving a written request from the other, execute an Estoppel Letter and/or statement in writing certifying:
(a) That the term of this Lease has commenced, setting forth the date of such commencement;
(b) That this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect or, if there have been modifications, that the Lease is in full force and effect as modified, stating the modification;
(c) Whether or not there are then existing any known defaults, offsets or defenses against the enforcement of any of the certifying party’s covenants hereunder (and if so, specifying them);
(d) The dates to which rent and other amounts have been paid in advance, if any;
16
(e) If the Lessee is the certifying party, whether Lessee has acquired any interest in the Premises except for its interest under this Lease; and
(f) Whether the certifying party has executed a mortgage or otherwise made any transfer or assignment of any part of the leasehold estate or Premises.
18. Brokerage Agency Disclosure and Commission.
(a) Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Inc., a Florida corporate real estate broker, hereby discloses that it has been engaged by and acts as the agent of Lessor.
(b) Lessor has agreed to pay a commission to Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Inc. and CB Xxxxxxx Xxxxx pursuant to a commission agreement set forth under a separate document. Lessee warrants that it has engaged no broker other than CB Xxxxxxx Xxxxx in connection with this Lease and agrees to indemnify and save Lessor harmless from any claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) for a commission from a broker claiming to have worked with Lessee in connection with this Lease.
19. Default Provisions.
(a) The happening of any one or more of the following events shall, at the option of Lessor, constitute a default of this Lease on the part of Lessee and Lessor shall have such remedies as are herein provided:
(1) If Lessee fails to timely pay any installment of any Base Rent or Additional Rental due hereunder and such failure continues for ten (10) days after notice that such amount is due (except that Lessor shall not be required to provide more than two such notices in any calendar year, after which Lessee shall be deemed in default if any such payment is not paid within ten (10) days after the date due); or
(2) If Lessee fails to fully and promptly perform any non-monetary act, term or provision required of it in the performance of this Lease. If a breach is claimed under this subparagraph, written notice specifying the nature of such claimed breach shall be given to Lessee and Lessee shall have fifteen (15) days to cure such breach or such longer time as may reasonably be necessary due to the nature of such breach; or
17
(3) If Lessee petitions or applies to any tribunal for the appointment of a trustee or receiver of Lessee or commences any proceedings relating to Lessee under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangements, insolvency, readjustment, dissolution, liquidation law of any jurisdiction whether or not hereinafter in effect; or
(4) If any such petition or application is filed or any proceedings are commenced against Lessee and Lessee, by any act, indicates its approval thereof, consents thereto or acquiesces therein, or an order is entered appointing such trustee or receiver, or adjudicating Lessee bankrupt or insolvent, or approving the petition in any such proceedings, and such order remains in effect for more that 180 days.
(b) Upon the happening of any of the above events of default, Lessor may, at Lessor’s option:
(1) Terminate and end this Lease and re-enter upon the Premises and at Lessor’s option, all of Lessee’s rights, title and interest under this Lease shall end and Lessee shall become a tenant at sufferance; or
(2) Elect to declare the entire rent for the balance of the remainder of the term, reduced by the fair market value of the Premises for the remainder of the term, and thereupon said term shall terminate at the option of Lessor except that, to the extent rents have been collected, Lessee shall be entitled to remain in possession to the exhaustion of the period covered by the rentals so collected; or
(3) Take possession of the Premises and rent the same for the account of Lessee.
The exercise of any of the above options shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy of Lessor. In addition thereto, Lessor shall have the right of any of the provisions of the laws of the State of Florida governing default by Lessee, and, in any event of default by Lessee, Lessor shall take all reasonable action to mitigate damages.
(c) If Lessee is in default under this Lease more than two (2) times within any twelve (12) month period, regardless of whether or not such default is cured, then, without limiting Lessor’s other rights and remedies provided for in this Lease or at law or in equity, the security deposit shall automatically be increased by an amount equal to or greater than two (2) times the original Security Deposit.
18
20. Right to Cure Default. If either party (the “Defaulting Party”) fails to perform any obligation or covenant of this Lease and such failure is not cured within fifteen (15) days after notice from the other party (or such longer time as may reasonably be necessary due to the nature of such breach, provided cure of such failure is commenced within that fifteen (15) day period and thereafter diligently pursued), then in addition to all other remedies permitted at law or in equity the other party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) may, but is not obligated to, perform the same for the account of the Defaulting Party, and the Defaulting Party shall reimburse the Non-Defaulting Party upon written demand for any expense incurred therefore together with interest at the highest legal rate from the date of Non-Defaulting Party’s disbursement of the expense (together, the “Reimbursement”). If the Defaulting Party fails to pay such Reimbursement within thirty (30) days after such written demand, the Non-Defaulting Party may offset the amount of the Reimbursement from any amount it owes to the Defaulting Party under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessor notifies Lessee within such thirty (30) day period that Lessor in good faith disputes Lessee’s right to such offset, then Lessee shall not be permitted to offset the Reimbursement until Lessee obtains an order from a court of competent jurisdiction permitting such offset.

24. Radon Disclosure. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your county public health unit.
25. Government Compliance. Lessor represents and warrants to Lessee that as of the date of construction of the Building, the Land, Building and Premises comply with all federal, state or local laws, ordinances or regulations, including without limitation, environmental and accessibility laws (together, “Applicable Laws”). Lessee shall use the Premises in compliance with Applicable Laws, and shall not cause the Premises to violate any Applicable Law. Lessee shall not use, generate, manufacture, store or dispose of on, under or about the Premises or transport to or from the Premises any flammable explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous wastes, toxic substances defined as or included in the definition of “hazardous materials”, or “toxic substances” under any applicable federal or state laws or regulations, but specifically excluding any substances used by Lessee in the ordinary course of its business in accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations (collectively referred to herein as “Hazardous Materials”).
20
Lessee shall be solely responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor, its successors and assigns, from and against any loss, damage, cost, expense or liability directly or indirectly arising out of or attributable to the use, generation, storage, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal or presence of Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Premises as a result of the action or inaction of Lessee, its agents, contractors, employees or invitees, including without limitation: (a) all foreseeable consequential damages; (b) the costs of any required or necessary repair, cleanup or detoxification of the Premises, and the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial or other required plans; and (c) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with clauses (a) and (b) of this paragraph, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees.
Lessor shall be solely responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessee, its successors and assigns, from and against any loss, damage, cost, expense or liability directly or indirectly arising out of or attributable the breach of any Lessor representation or warranty in this Section 24 or to the use, generation, storage, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal or presence of Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Land, Building or Premises as a result of the action or inaction of Lessor, its agents, contractors, employees or invitees, including without limitation: (a) all foreseeable consequential damages; (b) the costs of any required or necessary repair, cleanup or detoxification of the Premises, and the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial or other required plans; and (c) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lessee in connection with clauses (a) and (b) of this paragraph, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees.
26. Signage. Lessee shall not be permitted to install, construct, inscribe, paint, affix or display any sign, advertisement or logo visible from the exterior of the Premises in any common area without Lessor’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The exact size, design, configuration and replacement of all signs, advertisements and logos shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lessor, the approval of the City of St. Petersburg or Pinellas County, Florida, and any other applicable governmental authorities. Under no circumstances may any sign, advertisement or logo violate any ordinance, rule or regulation of any governmental authority. Lessee hereby agrees to seek and obtain any and all governmental approvals, permits or licenses necessary for the lawful operation and placement of any signs, advertisements or logos approved by Lessor, and to provide copies of such permits or licenses to Lessor. All costs of installation, construction, erection, illumination (where appropriate), maintenance, repair and removal of any of the above referenced items shall be the obligation of Lessee. Before erecting or placing any signs, advertisements or logos or beginning any construction pursuant to preparation for the erection or placement thereof, Lessee shall submit to Lessor, for Lessor’s review and approval, detailed plans and specification for all work to be performed. After obtaining Lessor’s approval of said plans and specifications, the signs, advertisement or logos are to be constructed pursuant to the plans and specification without any deviation therefrom whatsoever. Upon vacating the Premises, Lessee shall remove all signs, advertisements or logos and repair all damage caused by such removal. Lessee’ obligation to observe or perform this covenant shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, claim, suit, action for any damage or injury to any person or property caused by the installation, construction, erection, maintenance, repair or removal of any of said signs, advertisements or logos.
21
27. Condemnation. If any substantial portion of the Premises or the access to or parking for the Building shall be taken by eminent domain, Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of taking by giving written notice of such termination to Lessor within fifteen (15) days following the date of such taking, and in the event of such termination, rent shall cease as of the date of such termination and any rent paid beyond that date shall be refunded to Lessee. Whether or not Lessee shall exercise such right, Lessor and Lessee shall have and retain their respective rights to compensation from the condemning authority in connection with and following a taking by eminent domain. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease following a substantial taking by eminent domain or if the portion of the Premises or the access or parking for the Building taken is not substantial, the rent payable under this Lease for the remainder of the term shall be reduced as of the date of taking in the proportion that the area of the part taken bears to the total area of the Premises just prior to such taking or to equitably account for the reduction in access or parking. Substantial, as used herein, shall refer to the ability of Lessee to carry on its normal business without material adverse impact.
28. Holding Over. If Lessee shall hold over after the expiration of the Lease Term or other termination of this Lease, such holding over shall not be deemed to be a renewal of this Lease but shall be deemed to create a tenancy-at-will and by such holding over Lessee shall continue to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Lease except that during such tenancy-at-will, Lessee shall pay to Lessor (a) Rent at the rate equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of that provided for hereinabove and (b) any and all operating expenses and other forms of Additional Rental payable under the terms of this Lease. The increased Rent during such holding over is intended to liquidate any losses, damages and expenses suffered by Lessor as a result of such holdover, including frustrating and delaying Lessor’s ability to secure a replacement lessee. If Lessor loses a prospective lessee because Lessee fails to vacate the Premises on expiration of this Lease after notice to do so, Lessee will be liable for such damages as Lessor can prove because of Lessee’s wrongful failure to vacate.
29. Hold Harmless. Lessee agrees that all property belonging to or in the name, custody or control of Lessee or any occupant of the Premises which is in or on the Premises shall be there at the risk of Lessee or such occupant only, and Lessor shall not be liable for any injury thereto or loss or destruction thereof, excepting injury or loss resulting from breach of the terms of this Lease by Lessor. Lessee further agrees that Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee or any person for any injury, loss or damage to property or to any person on the Premises or on the common areas appurtenant thereto, excepting injury or loss resulting from breach of the terms of this Lease by Lessor. Lessor shall not be responsible for or liable to Lessee for any loss or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of persons occupying adjoining premises, or any part of the premises, adjacent to or connected with the Premises or any part of the Premises shown on the Site Plan or for any loss or damage resulting to Lessee or its property from burst, stopped or leaking water, gas, sewer or steam pipes or for any damage or loss of property within the Premises from any causes whatsoever, including theft, excepting injury or loss resulting from breach of the terms of this Lease by Lessor.
30. No Waiver. No assent, express or implied, to any breach of any of covenants or agreements shall be deemed a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same covenant or agreement. No delay or omission in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.
31. Leasehold Improvement Allowance. Lessor agrees to provide to Lessee a THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($300,000.00) allowance for the cost of leasehold improvements in the Premises. Lessor shall disburse the allowance (to Lessee or directly to Lessee’s contractor, as Lessee elects) on a monthly basis, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of invoice for work performed or materials purchased, executed by Lessee’s contractor. Any portion of the allowance not used for improvements to the Premises shall be placed in a separate account held by Lessor for future tenant improvements as required by Lessee and reasonably approved by Lessor during the term of this Lease. Lessee shall have full access to the Premises upon full execution of this Lease for the purpose of installing its fixtures, furniture and equipment. All leasehold improvements constructed by Lessor (or Lessee) shall be deemed to be Lessor’s property immediately upon installation in the Premises.
23
32. Move-In Allowance. In addition to the foregoing leasehold improvements allowance, Lessor agrees to pay to Lessee the sum of FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($400,000.00) as a move-in allowance. This sum shall be paid by Lessor to Lessee within thirty (30) days from the commencement of Base Rent Payment, but in any event not earlier than October 1, 2004.
33. Right to Expand. In the event that Lessee desires to expand the Premises to include the contiguous space of approximately 28,160 square feet depicted on Exhibit “B” as the “Expansion Space”, Lessee must provide written notice to Lessor no later than the second anniversary of the Commencement Date of its desire to do so, which notice must be provided at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the desired move-in date. The expansion space will be leased to Lessee upon the same terms and conditions as this Lease (including the then current Base Rent).
34. Attorneys’ Fees. If Lessor or Lessee shall bring any action for any relief against the other, declaratory or otherwise, arising out of or under this Lease, including any suit by Lessor for the recovery of rent or possession of the Premises, the losing party shall reimburse the successful party for all reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by the successful party in such suit and such attorneys’ fees shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such action and shall be paid whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment.
35. Entire Agreement. This Lease contains all of the agreements, covenants and conditions between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and may not be altered or modified orally or in any other manner, except by an agreement in writing signed by all of the parties hereto, or by their respective successors in interest. The covenants and agreements herein contained shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successor and assigns. This Lease constitutes a Florida contract and shall be construed according to the laws of that state. The parties agree that the venue for any litigation arising hereunder shall be in a court of competent jurisdiction in Pinellas County, Florida.
24
36. Subordination of Landlord’s Lien. At Lessee’s request, Lessor shall execute documents acceptable to Lessee’s lenders, acknowledging Lessor’s subordination of its landlord’s lien under Florida law to any financing obtained by Lessee secured by a security interest granted in Lessee’s personal property located on the Premises.
37. Generator/UPS. Lessee shall have the right, without additional rental charge, to install and use: (a) an uniterruptable power supply (UPS) within the Premises, and (ii) up to a 000 xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx generator containing a 100 gallon fuel tank and a concrete generator pad on the Building grounds, in the location reasonably approved by Lessor. The installation of the UPS, generator and generator pad shall be in compliance with Applicable Laws. Lessee shall be solely responsible for the cost of installation, operation and maintenance of the UPS and generator. The UPS and generator shall become the property of Lessor and shall be surrendered with the Premises, as a part thereof, at the end of the term hereof.

EXHIBIT “C”
This Work Letter Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into this ______ day of March, 2004, between Gateway Business Centre, LTD (“Lessor”) and Medical Technology Systems, Inc. (“Lessee”). In the event of any inconsistencies between this Agreement and the Industrial Lease (the “Lease”) dated concurrently herewith to which this Agreement is attached as Exhibit “C”, this Agreement shall control. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall, unless otherwise specifically set forth herein, have the same meanings as in the Lease.
1. Lessor shall complete the initial buildout of the Premises as shown on the Final Plans (defined below) and as more fully described in this Section (“Initial Improvements”). To the extent that any demising walls is required by pertinent governmental authority to separate the Premises from the remainder of the Building, Lessor shall construct such demising wall at its sole cost (not to be funded from the Leasehold Improvement Allowance). Lessor shall engage an architect licensed in the State of Florida (“Architect”), to prepare preliminary space plans, which plans must be approved by Lessor and Lessee. Architect shall prepare complete and detailed demolition, architectural, structural, mechanical and engineering plans and specifications prepared and stamped by Architect, showing the Initial Improvements (“Construction Plans”). The cost of Architect’s services shall be funded by Lessor from the Leasehold Improvement Allowance. The Construction Plans shall be substantially in accordance with the preliminary space plans and shall otherwise be acceptable to Lessee in its reasonable discretion.
2. As used herein, “Final Plans” refers to the Construction Plans after the same have been approved in writing by Lessee.
3. Promptly following Lessee’s approval of the Final Plans, Lessor shall cause the Final Plans to be submitted for bid to not fewer than three (3) general contractors selected by Lessor. Lessee shall select one of the three contractors within three (3) business days of receiving the three (3) bids. Lessor shall engage the General Contractor to construct the Initial Improvements under an “open book” and Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) construction contract approved by Lessee, which shall provide for a price equal to the cost of the work plus the contractor’s overhead/general conditions and profit with a guaranteed maximum price (GMP).
29
4. Lessor shall not be responsible or liable for any delay in substantially completing the Initial Improvements resulting from any act, neglect, failure or omission of Lessee, its agents, servants, employees, contractors, or subcontractors (“Lessee Delay”). Lessee Delay means any actual delay resulting from:
a. | Lessee’s disapproval of the initial bids (including revision of the Construction Plans and resubmittal to contractors); or |
b. | Lessee’s request for long lead item materials, finishes or installations (identified as such by Lessor at the time of Lessee’s selection); or |
c. | Any change to or revision of the Final Plans (“Revisions”); or |
d. | Lessee’s interference with Lessor’s performance of its construction obligations. |
5. Lessor shall construct the Initial Improvements in accordance with the Final Plans and in compliance with all Applicable Laws. Lessor shall achieve Substantial Completion of the Initial Improvements on or before September 1, 2004 (30 days before the target Commencement Date). Lessee shall have the right from time to time to inspect the Premises during the construction of the Initial Improvements provided such inspection does not interfere with construction of the Initial Improvements.
6. During the 30 days before the Commencement Date, Lessee and its contractors and agents may enter the Premises to install equipment, furniture and fixtures and perform Lessee finishing work (“Lessee Work”) as it may desire provided that the Lessee Work is coordinated with Lessor to minimize interference with the performance of the Initial Improvements.
7. Lessee shall have the right to make Revisions. All Revisions shall be subject to Lessor’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld provided the Revisions are non-structural in nature. Lessor shall either approve or disapprove the Revisions within five (5) business days after submission thereof by Lessee. Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing of the actual out-of-pocket cost incurred by Lessor for such Revisions, and any Lessee Delay that the performance of the same may entail. If Lessee agrees with the cost and delay of such Revisions, Lessee shall acknowledge Lessee’s approval in writing within three (3) business days after Lessor’s notice thereof to Lessee. If Lessee fails to approve of the cost of such Revisions (and, if requested by Lessor, the amount of any Lessee Delay that Lessor estimates will occur as a result of such Revisions) within three (3) business days, Lessor shall not approve such Revisions. The cost of any Revisions shall be borne solely by Lessee.
30
8. Lessor shall notify Lessee of the date of Substantial Completion at least five (5) days prior thereto. As used herein, “Substantial Completion” shall mean that, with the exception of minor punch-list items which do not adversely affect Lessee’s use of the Premises, the Initial Improvements have been completed in accordance with the Final Plans and in compliance with all Applicable Laws and all mechanical systems serving or affecting the Premises shall then be in good working order. Lessor and Lessee shall thereupon set a mutually convenient time for Lessee and Lessor to inspect the Premises, at which time Lessee shall prepare and submit to Lessor a punch list of items to be completed. Lessor shall complete the punch list items within 30 days. In the event of any dispute as to when and whether the Initial Improvements have been substantially completed, the certificate of Lessor’s Architect and the temporary or final certificate of occupancy or completion (as may be applicable) issued by the local governmental authority shall be conclusive evidence of such completion, effective on the date of the issuance of such certificate to Lessee.
9. If Lessor’s Work is not Substantially Completed by the “Substantial Completion Target Date” for any reason or cause other than acts of God or other matters beyond the reasonable control of Lessor, its contractors or subcontractors (hereinafter referred to as “Force Majeure”) or Lessee Delay, the Commencement Date shall be delayed 1 day for each such day of delay in achieving Substantial Completion.
