intended to reduce Operating Costs, or are required under any governmental laws, regulations or
ordinances which were not applicable to the Building at the time it was constructed, or are
recommended by the N.F.P.A. Life Safety Code, shall be included in Operating Costs. If Landlord
selects the accrual method of accounting rather than the cash accounting method for Operating Costs
purposes, Operating Costs shall be deemed to have been paid when such expenses have accrued.
Certain of the costs of management, operation and maintenance of the Building may be common to all
of the buildings within the Development owned by Landlord and you consent to Landlord’s allocation
of such common costs among the various buildings owned by Landlord within the Development and the
amount of such common
4
costs allocated by Landlord to the Building shall be deemed an Operating Cost, provided that
the allocation method used by Landlord is reasonable. Landlord may, in a reasonable manner,
allocate insurance premiums for so-called “blanket” insurance policies which insure other
properties as well as the Building and said allocated amount shall be deemed to be an Operating
Cost. The inclusion of the improvements, facilities, and services set forth in this definition

Building.
“Public Accommodation Law” means any and all applicable laws, regulations and building
codes governing non-discrimination and public accommodations and commercial facilities including,
without limitation, the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 USC 12-101 and all

Section 5.02 of this Lease together with all sales tax to be collected thereon. Notwithstanding
5
anything in the Lease to the contrary, all amounts payable by you to or on behalf of Landlord

each day of Tenant Delay occurring after the building permit for the Interior Modifications is
issued; and (ii) each day of delay caused by a Force Majeure Event occurring after the building
permit for the Interior Modifications is issued. For each five day period of extension there
shall be added those number of weekend days as is fair and equitable to put Landlord in the same
position as if the Force Majeure Event or Tenant Delay had not occurred.

other information or data requested by Landlord or Landlord’s architect needed in order for
Landlord’s architect to prepare the Permit Drawings or needed for Landlord to complete the Interior

loadbearing walls, columns and joists, roof, roof deck, and roof drainage system.
“Substantial Completion” or “Substantially Complete” or “Substantially

certificate of completion or its equivalent (temporary or permanent) permitting you to occupy the

Taxes, there shall be levied, assessed or imposed on Landlord a capital levy or other tax directly
on the rents received therefrom and/or a franchise tax, assessment, levy or charge measured by or
based, in whole or in part, upon such rents for the Building, then all such taxes, assessments,
levies or charges, or the part thereof so measured or based, shall be deemed to be included within
the term “Taxes” for the purposes hereof. The Building is part of a larger tax parcel comprised of
the entire Development (Property ID # 0000 00 00 0000) and therefore real property taxes allocated
to the Building are an equitable proportion of the real property taxes for all of the land and
improvements included within the tax parcel assessed. If Landlord contests any assessment of
Taxes, then the term Taxes shall include the professional fees incurred by Landlord to contest such
Taxes. If Landlord prevails in the contest of any assessment of Taxes, Taxes will nonetheless be
determined using the protested amount until such time as the

include the reasonable costs and fees to defend such suit.

“Term” or “term” means the primary term of this Lease. If the term of this

pursuant to any amendment to this Lease extending the term, then such extended term shall be
included as part of the term.

an assignee or subtenant (other than an Affiliate) in excess of the Rent payable by you under this
Lease (on a per rentable square foot basis in the case of a subletting where the subletting is for

changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises in connection with the assignment or
subletting, including any reasonable fees or costs incurred with respect thereto; (ii) any

not consent to your holdover, then you shall also pay to Landlord all damages sustained by Landlord
resulting from such unconsented to holdover. No holding over by you, whether with or without
consent of Landlord, shall operate to extend this Lease except as otherwise expressly provided.
The preceding provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed as consent for you to hold over.
4.03 Option to Extend. Landlord reserves the right to refuse to allow you the option
of extending the term of this Lease if you or a permitted assignee or sublessee are not occupying
11
and doing business from the Premises (other than as a result of casualty) at the time an
option to extend is exercised or at the time an extended term commences or if there exists an
uncured Event of Default, either at the time the option to extend is exercised or at the time the
extended term commences or if you fail to timely provide Landlord with the Renewal Notice. Subject
to the foregoing, Landlord hereby grants to you the option to extend the term of this Lease for a
three year extended term (the “First Extended Term”), the First Extended Term to begin on
the day after the end of the primary term of this Lease. To effectively exercise your First
Extended Term option, you must timely provide the Landlord with the Renewal Notice. If Landlord
does not timely receive the Renewal Notice, time being of the essence, you shall not be entitled to
exercise your First Extended Term option. If you exercised your First Extended Term option, and
subject to the first sentence of this Section, Landlord grants to you the option to extend the term
of this Lease for a second three year extended term (the “Second Extended Term”), the
Second Extended Term to begin on the day after the end of the First Extended Term. To effectively
exercise your Second Extended Term option, you must timely provide the Landlord with the Renewal
Notice. If Landlord does not timely receive the Renewal Notice, time being of the essence, you
shall not be entitled to exercise your Second Extended Term option.
ARTICLE V
RENT
RENT
5.01 Base Rent. Base Rent shall be payable during the primary or during any extended
term, in accordance with this Section 5.01.
5.01(a) Base Rent During Primary Term. You agree to pay to Landlord base rent for the
Premises for the entire primary term hereof beginning on the Commencement Date, at the initial
rate of $16,643.25 a month, provided, however, if the Commencement Date is a day other than the
first day of a calendar month, then for the initial partial month, you agree to pay a per diem base
rental of $554.78 a day for each day of the partial month beginning on the Commencement Date and
ending on the last day of the partial month in which the Commencement Date falls. On each
Adjustment Date falling within the primary term of this Lease beginning with the Adjustment Date
corresponding with the first day of the second Lease Year, the monthly base rent amount shall
increase to 103% of the monthly base rent amount then in effect immediately prior to such
Adjustment Date.
5.01(b) Base Rent During Extended Term. If you exercised an Extended Term option,
then you agree to pay to Landlord monthly base rent for the Premises, in advance, without demand,
deduction or set off, for the entire Extended Term hereof at an initial rate equal to 95% of Market
Rent, or if greater, at an initial rate equal to 103% of the monthly base rent amount in the last
Lease Year of the expiring term. On each Adjustment Date falling within the Extended Term
beginning with the Adjustment Date corresponding to the first day of the second Lease Year of the
Extended Term, the monthly base rent amount shall increase in accordance with the annual
escalations specified as part of the determination of Market Rent.
5.02 Additional Rent for Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs. Beginning
on the Commencement Date and continuing during the entire term, you agree to pay to Landlord as
additional rent, your Proportionate Share of Operating Costs. Any payments with respect to any
partial calendar year in which the term commences or ends shall be prorated.
12
You agree to pay $6,742.65 per month as an estimated amount for Operating Costs. Landlord
may, at any time, deliver to you its estimate (or revised estimate) of such additional amounts
payable under this Section for each calendar year. On or before the first day of the next month and
on or before the first day of each month thereafter, you shall pay to Landlord as additional rent
such amount as Landlord reasonably determines to be necessary to bring and keep you current. As
soon as practicable after the close of each calendar year, Landlord shall deliver to you a
statement showing the total amount payable by you under this Article. If such statement shows an
amount due from you that is less than the estimated payments previously paid by you, it shall be
accompanied by a refund of the excess to you or at Landlord’s option the excess shall be credited
against the next monthly installment of Rent. If such statement shows an amount due from you that
is more than the estimated payments paid by you, you shall pay the deficiency to Landlord, as
additional rent, which payment shall be due within thirty (30) days after the date of Landlord’s
statement to you. You or your representatives shall have the right after seven (7) days prior
written notice to Landlord to examine Landlord’s books and records of Operating Costs during normal
business hours within thirty (30) days following the furnishing of the statement to you. Unless
you take written exception to any item within thirty (30) days following the furnishing of the
statement to you (which item shall be paid in any event), such statement shall be considered as
final and accepted by you. The taking of exception to any item shall not excuse you from the
obligation to make timely payment based upon the statement as delivered by Landlord.
5.02A First Year Cap on Operating Costs. Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.02 to
the contrary, your Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for the first Lease Year shall not exceed
$3.95 r.s.f.
5.02B Cap on Controllable Operating Costs. Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.02
to the contrary, beginning with the first day of the second Lease Year and continuing during the
remainder of the primary term, the increase in your Proportionate Share of Controllable Operating
Costs shall not exceed 5% from one year to the next, on a cumulative basis. By way of example of
what is meant by a cumulative basis, if your Proportionate Share of Controllable Operating Costs
for calendar year 2008 increased by 4% from calendar year 2007, then your maximum Proportionate
Share of Controllable Operating Costs for calendar year 2009 would be 106% of the calendar year
2008 amount. Short years will be annualized in a fair and equitable manner reasonably determined
by Landlord for purposes of determining any cap pursuant to the foregoing.
5.03 Sales Tax. With each installment of Rent, you shall pay to Landlord all sales
taxes due thereon.
5.04 Time For Payment of Rent. Prepaid Rent in the amount of $24,789.05 shall be paid
simultaneously with the execution of this Lease to be applied against Rent first due and owing.
Thereafter, each monthly installment of Rent shall be due and payable on or before the first day of
the calendar month for which such Rent is payable. Rent shall be payable without demand, deduction
or right of set off.
5.05 Place for Payment. All Rent and other payments required to be made by you to
Landlord shall be payable to: Westport Business Park Associates LLP or to such other entity at
13
such address as Landlord may specify from time to time by written notice delivered in
accordance herewith. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Building is
encumbered by an assignment of leases and rents made by Landlord and recorded in the Public Records
of the County in which the Building is located, then upon the written demand of the lender named in
such assignment of leases and rents or the successor in interest to such lender (hereinafter the
“Lender”), you agree to pay all Rent and other payments required to be made by you
hereunder to such Lender and Landlord agrees that you will be credited by Landlord for any payments
so made.
5.06 Accord and Satisfaction. Payment by you or receipt by Landlord of a lesser
amount than the Rent herein stipulated or any other rent required to be paid by you hereunder may
be, at Landlord’s sole option, deemed to be on account of the earliest due stipulated Rents or
other rent, or deemed to be on account of Rent or other rent owing for the current period only,
notwithstanding any instructions by or on your behalf to the contrary, which instructions shall be
null and void, and no endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check
payment as Rent or other rent shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord shall accept
such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or
other rent or pursue any other remedy in this Lease against you.
5.07 Prohibition Against Percentage Rents Based on Net Receipts. The provisions of
this Section are required to be inserted in this Lease pursuant to an Assignment of Leases and
Rents entered into by Landlord in favor of the Superior Mortgagee recorded in the Public Records of
Broward County, Florida. Your obligation to pay Rent and any additional rent under this Lease is
not based in any way on the income or profits derived from the Premises. If a Succession (as
defined in Section 18.03) occurs, and if the Superior Mortgagee is advised by its counsel that all
or a portion of the Rent or additional rent payable under this Lease is or may be deemed to be
unrelated business income within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from
time to time, as in effect at that time (the “Code”), or within the meaning of U.S. Treasury
Regulations promulgated under the Code, the Superior Mortgagee may elect to amend unilaterally the
calculation of the Rent or additional rent, and you agree to execute such amendment, so that none
of the Rent or additional rent payable to the Superior Mortgagee under the Lease will constitute
unrelated business income provided that such amendment may not increase your payment obligations or
other liability under the Lease or reduce Landlord’s obligations under this Lease.
ARTICLE VI
LETTER OF CREDIT
LETTER OF CREDIT
You agree to deliver the Letter of Credit to Landlord no later than the tenth business day
immediately following the Effective Date, time being of the essence. If the Letter of Credit is
not delivered within such period, then until such time as it is delivered, you agree to pay to
Landlord a penalty of $100.00 a day for each day until delivered and until such time as it is
delivered, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease. Upon an Event of Default,
Landlord may, from time to time, without notice to you and without prejudice to any other remedy
available to Landlord, draw upon the Letter of Credit to the extent necessary to make good any
arrears of Rent or other payments due Landlord hereunder, and any other damage, injury, expense or
liability caused by your default, and you shall pay to the issuer of the Letter of
14
Credit on demand by Landlord the amount so applied in order to restore the Letter of Credit to
its original amount. Provided that you have complied with all of the terms and conditions of the
Lease, the Letter of Credit will be returned to you no later than 30 days after the Lease
Expiration Date. If the Letter of Credit is in the form of one year automatic renewals, and if the
issuer decides not to renew the Letter of Credit and if you fail to provide Landlord with a
replacement Letter of Credit (or, at your option, a cash security deposit in an amount equal to the
face amount of the required Letter of Credit) on or before the fifteenth day immediately preceding
the stated expiry date of the Letter of Credit that is not being renewed, then the failure to
provide Landlord with a replacement Letter of Credit shall be an Event of Default which can be
cured solely by providing Landlord with the replacement Letter of Credit and in addition to any
other remedy available to Landlord under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to draw on the
Letter of Credit until such time as the replacement Letter of Credit is provided to Landlord.
Provided that no Event of Default then exists, on and after each Adjustment Date beginning
with the Adjustment Date corresponding to the first day of the second Lease Year, you shall be
permitted to substitute a replacement Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the Letter of Credit
amount then in effect prior to replacement minus $25,000 provided, however, the Letter of Credit
will never be reduced below $25,000. Upon Landlord’s receipt of a replacement Letter of Credit,
Landlord agrees to return to you the then Letter of Credit that Landlord is holding. In the
alternative and at your sole discretion, and once the Adjustment Date is determined, Landlord
consents to an endorsement to the Letter of Credit specifying the reductions on each Adjustment
Date provided that the endorsement clearly identifies each Adjustment Date and clearly identifies
the amount that the Letter of Credit has been reduced to as of such Adjustment Date.
ARTICLE VII

any applicable laws, rules, ordinances or restrictive covenants now or hereafter affecting the
Premises, and any zoning letters, copies of zoning ordinances or other information from any

to comply with any and all regulations and rules applicable to the Premises issued by the Board of

companies writing policies covering the Premises which now or hereafter may become applicable to
the Premises. You shall pay all costs, expenses, claims, fines, penalties and damages that
directly result from your failure to comply with this Section, and in any event, you agree to
indemnify the Landlord from all liability with reference to the same. Landlord and you shall each
promptly give notice to the other in writing of any notice of violation received by you or
Landlord, respectively.
7.04 Tenant’s Repair and Maintenance Obligations. (a) Subject to Landlord’s warranty
obligation under Sections 3.08 and 3.09, you shall, at your own cost and expense, keep and maintain
all parts of the Premises in a good, clean, safe and sanitary condition, promptly making all

far as possible keep all parts of the Premises from deteriorating, ordinary wear and tear excepted,
and from falling temporarily out of repair, and upon termination of this Lease in any way, you will
yield up the Premises to Landlord in its Exit Condition. You shall not damage any dividing wall or
disturb the integrity and supports provided by any demising wall and shall, at your sole cost and
expense, properly repair any

at Landlord’s option where such damage requires access to an adjacent premises, such damage may be
repaired by Landlord and you shall pay as additional rent the cost of such repair. You shall, at
your own cost and expense, as additional rent, pay for the repair of any damage to the Premises,
the Building, or the Development resulting from and/or caused in whole or in part by your
negligence or misconduct, or the negligence or misconduct of your agents, servants, employees,
patrons, customers, or any other person entering upon the Development as a result of your business
activities or caused by your default hereunder.
(b) At your own cost and expense, you agree to enter into a regularly scheduled preventive
maintenance/service contract with a maintenance contractor approved by Landlord, for servicing all
heating and air conditioning systems and equipment servicing the Premises and an executed copy of
such contract shall be delivered to Landlord. This service contract must include all services
suggested by the equipment manufacturer within the operations/maintenance manual and must become
effective within thirty (30) days immediately following the date you take possession of the
Premises. Landlord may (but shall not be required to), upon notice to you, elect to enter into such
a maintenance service contract on your behalf or perform the work itself and, in either case,
charge you therefore, together with a reasonable charge for overhead.

peaceably and quietly leave and surrender the Premises in its Exit Condition and that all payments
required to be made by you in payment of utilities pursuant to Section 7.05 shall have been paid or

improvements, whether consented to or not by Landlord, then you covenant that as of the last day of
the term, such permits will be closed. You shall give written notice to Landlord at least thirty
(30) days prior to vacating the Premises and you shall arrange to meet with Landlord for a joint

Landlord’s inspection at or after you vacate the Premises shall be conclusively deemed correct for
purposes of determining your responsibility for repairs and restoration.
ARTICLE VIII
LANDLORD’S OBLIGATIONS
LANDLORD’S OBLIGATIONS
8.01 Repairs and Maintenance. Landlord shall maintain the following in a clean and
sanitary condition, reasonable wear and tear and any casualty covered by the provisions of Article
XII excepted, promptly (after actual notice) making all necessary repairs and replacements: the
Building’s roof, roof deck including joists, downspouts, gutters and other portions of the roof
drainage system, foundation, exterior walls and the Common Areas. Landlord’s obligation to
maintain the Common Areas shall include the regular mowing of any grass, trimming, weed removal and
general landscape maintenance, exterior lighting, exterior
17
signs and common sewage plumbing and the maintenance of all paved areas including driveways,
parking lots and alleys. You shall promptly after obtaining actual knowledge, give Landlord
written notice of any defect or need for repairs to the Premises, Building or to the Common Areas,
and after receipt of which Landlord shall have a reasonable opportunity to repair the same or cure
such defect. Landlord’s liability with respect to any defects, repairs, or maintenance or the
curing of such defect for which Landlord is responsible under the provisions of this Lease shall be
limited to the cost of such repairs or maintenance or the curing of such defect. Except as
qualified by Paragraph 7.04(a), the term “walls” as used herein shall not include windows, glass or
plate glass, doors, special store front or office entry.
8.02 Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants that it now has good title to
the Premises, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, excepting only the lien for current
taxes not yet due, mortgages now or hereafter of record, zoning ordinances and other building and
fire ordinances and governmental regulations relating to the use of such property, and easements,
restrictions and other conditions of record. Landlord represents and warrants that it has full
authority and right to enter into this Lease and that for so long as an Event of Default does not
exist, you shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the term hereof
without hindrance or molestation from Landlord, subject to the terms and provisions of this Lease.
Landlord agrees to make reasonable efforts to protect you from interference or disturbance by other
tenants or third persons; however, as long as Landlord has used such reasonable efforts Landlord
shall not be liable for any such interference or disturbance, nor shall you be released from any of
the obligations of this Lease because of such interference or disturbance.
ARTICLE IX
ALTERATIONS AND SIGNAGE
ALTERATIONS AND SIGNAGE
9.01 Alterations. You agree that you will not make any alterations, additions or
improvements to the Premises (including, without limitation, the roof and wall penetrations)
without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. If Landlord consents to any alterations, additions or improvements proposed by you, you
shall construct the same in accordance with all governmental laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations and all requirements of any applicable insurance policies and only in accordance with
plans and specifications approved by Landlord. You may, without the consent of Landlord, but at
your own cost and expense and in good workmanlike manner erect such shelves, bins, machinery and
other trade fixtures as you may deem advisable, without altering the basic character of the
Building and without overloading the floor or damaging the Building, and in each case after
complying with all applicable governmental laws, ordinances, regulations and other requirements,
provided, however, the installation of a boiler, crane or heavy machinery (even if a room for such
item is designated in the Construction Drawings, which designation shall not be deemed to be
consent) will require separate Landlord consent as though it were an addition to the Premises. All
shelves, bins, machinery and trade fixtures installed by you may be removed by you prior to the
termination of this Lease if you so elect, and shall be removed by the date of termination of this
Lease or upon earlier vacating of the Premises if required by Landlord and upon any such removal
you agree to repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal. All such removals and
restoration shall be accomplished in a good and
18
workmanlike manner so as not to damage the primary structure or structural quality of the
Building.
9.02 Accounting for Cost of Alterations. As soon as is practical promptly following
the completion of any improvements made to the Premises by you, you shall submit to Landlord an
itemized statement setting forth the cost of such improvements. Within thirty days of the request
of Landlord from time to time made but not more than once in any one calendar year (unless such
additional request results from a change in Landlord’s insurance carrier), you shall provide
Landlord with a written appraisal of the then current replacement value of the improvements to the
Premises made by you. Your failure to submit such written appraisal shall not be an Event of
Default, and instead, Landlord shall have the right to estimate the current replacement value of
such improvements and any such estimate provided to Landlord’s insurance carrier shall be binding
upon you to the extent such improvements are covered under insurance required to be maintained by
Landlord.
9.03 Signs and Window Treatment. You agree that you will not install any signs upon
the Building, provided, however, that you shall be permitted, at your cost and expense, to install
one exterior identification sign on the Building in a place reasonably acceptable to Landlord
provided that such sign conforms with signage criteria that Landlord has promulgated or is
currently in the process of promulgating for the Development. Such sign shall be removed by you
upon termination of this Lease at which time you shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by
such removal. Landlord may from time to time require you to change your identification sign to
conform to a revised standard for the Building, provided Landlord pays the cost of removing and
replacing such sign. Any sign installed by you shall be maintained by you and kept in good
condition and repair. You shall not install drapes, curtains, blinds or any window treatment
without Landlord’s prior written consent.
ARTICLE X
LANDLORD ACCESS TO PREMISES
LANDLORD ACCESS TO PREMISES
Landlord and Landlord’s agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time, in the
case of an emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times upon reasonable notice for the purpose of
showing the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, insurance adjustors or tenants, and making
such alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the Building (including
other tenant spaces), as Landlord may reasonably deem advisable or necessary.
ARTICLE XI
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
11.01 Requirement of Landlord Consent. (a) You shall not have the right to assign,
sublet, transfer or encumber this Lease, or any interest therein, without the prior written consent
of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any attempted
assignment, subletting, transfer or encumbrance by you in violation of the terms and covenants of
this Section shall be void. If Landlord consents to an assignment or subletting, as a condition
thereto which the parties agree is reasonable, you shall pay to Landlord one-half of any Transfer
Premium. Any assignment, subletting or other transfer of your interest in this Lease shall be for
19
an amount equal to the then fair market value of such interest. These covenants shall run
with the land and shall bind you and your successors and assigns. No assignment, subletting or
other transfer, whether consented to by Landlord or not, shall relieve you of your liability and
obligations hereunder. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, if the Premises or any part
thereof are then assigned or sublet, Landlord, in addition to any other remedies herein provided,
may at Landlord’s option collect directly from such assignee or subtenant all rents becoming due to
you under such assignment or sublease and apply such rent against any sums due to Landlord for you
hereunder, and no such collection shall be construed to constitute a novation or a release of you
from the further performance of your obligations hereunder. Any assignee, sublessee or transferee
of your interest in this Lease (all such assignees, sublessees and transferees being hereinafter
referred to as “successors”), by assuming your obligations hereunder shall assume liability to
Landlord for all amounts paid to persons other than Landlord by such successors in contravention of
the immediately preceding sentence.
(b) If you are not a publicly traded corporation or a publicly traded limited partnership,
then a change in control shall constitute an assignment requiring Landlord’s consent. The transfer
of 50% or more of your stock, if you are a corporation, or a change in 50% or more of your
partners, if you are a general partnership or limited partnership, or a change in your general
partner if you are a limited partnership, shall constitute a change in control for this purpose,
requiring Landlord’s consent. If the change in control results from the issuance of additional
shares of your capital stock (as opposed to a sale of shares by existing stockholders) to venture
capital investors, the such change in control will not require Landlord consent.
(c) Your involvement in a merger transaction, if you are not the surviving corporation in the
merger, shall be considered an assignment of this Lease requiring Landlord’s consent.
11.02 Effect of Unconsented to Assignment or Subletting. An assignment or subletting
of your interest in this Lease without Landlord’s specific written prior consent (where Landlord’s
consent is required pursuant to the terms of this Lease) shall be an Event of Default curable after
a ten day notice period and in addition to all rights and remedies available to Landlord under this
Lease, and if Landlord does not elect to terminate the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to
increase the monthly base rent to the Holdover Rent amount as if you were holding over during any
period of time such unconsented to assignee or subtenant is in possession of any or all of the
Premises.
11.03 Sub-Lease Termination: Merger. Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing
by Landlord, the voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by you, the mutual termination or
cancellation hereof, or a termination hereof by Landlord for an uncured Event of Default by you,
shall automatically terminate any sublease or lesser estate in the Premises, provided, however,
Landlord shall, in the event of any such surrender, termination or cancellation, have the option to
continue any one or all of any existing subtenancies. Landlord’s failure within 10 days following
any such event to make a written election to the contrary by written notice to the holder of any
such lesser interest, shall constitute Landlord’s election to have such event constitute the
termination of such interest.
20
11.04 Third Party Payments. You acknowledge that Landlord may not fully
scrutinize and examine each Rent or other payment to see that the check submitted in payment is
your check and not a third party check. Accordingly, if a third party check is tendered for
payment of Rent or any other payment due under this Lease from you, and if such payment is accepted
by Landlord, such acceptance shall not confer any rights upon the third party payor or entitle the
third party payor to make a claim as an assignee or subtenant of yours nor shall such acceptance
entitle the third party payor to occupy the Premises or create a landlord/tenant relationship
between the third party payor and Landlord.
11.05 Assignment to an Affiliate. Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.01 to the
contrary, you shall have the right to assign your leasehold interest in the Premises to an
Affiliate without Landlord’s consent provided that (i) you provide Landlord with advance written
notice of the assignment; (ii) you provide Landlord, in advance, with proof that the Affiliate has
all insurance in place required to be maintained under this Lease including naming Landlord as an
additional insured; (iii) you provide Landlord, in advance, with a fully executed assignment and
assumption of lease document reasonably acceptable to Landlord including an acknowledgment that
such assignment does not release you from liability; and (iv) you provide Landlord with an
administrative charge payment of $700.00 to reimburse Landlord for the administrative and legal
costs Landlord can reasonably be expected to incur regarding such assignment.
11.06 Subletting to an Affiliate. Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.01 to the
contrary, you shall have the right to sublet all or a portion of the Premises to an Affiliate
without Landlord’s consent provided that (i) you provide Landlord with advance written notice of
the subletting; (ii) you provide Landlord, in advance, with proof that the Affiliate has all
insurance in place required to be maintained under this Lease including naming Landlord as an
additional insured; (iii) you provide Landlord, in advance, with a fully executed sublease
reasonably acceptable to Landlord; and (iv) you provide Landlord with an administrative charge
payment of $700.00 to reimburse Landlord for the administrative and legal costs Landlord can
reasonably be expected to incur regarding such subletting.
ARTICLE XII
INSURANCE
INSURANCE
During the term of this Lease, Landlord and you shall carry and maintain the following types
of insurance and in the amounts specified in this Article, all as follows:
12.01 Fire and Casualty Damage. Landlord agrees to maintain insurance covering the
Building in an amount not less than full insurable value (subject to any applicable deductible)
insuring against loss or damage by fire and other hazards included within the term “special causes
of loss”, “all risk” or “extended coverage” and against such other hazards as Landlord may deem
advisable or which a Superior Mortgagee requires. Such insurance will not, however, insure your
personal property. Subject to the provisions of subparagraph 13.01(c) below, such insurance shall
be for the sole benefit of Landlord and under its sole control.
12.02 Personal Property. You shall procure and maintain throughout the term of this
Lease a policy or policies of insurance, at your sole cost and expense, insuring all personal
property situated within the Premises against loss or damage by fire and other hazards included
21
within the term “special causes of loss”, “all risk” or “extended coverage” and against such
other hazards as Landlord may reasonably require in the full insurable value.
12.03 Tenant’s Liability Insurance. You shall procure and maintain throughout the
term of the Lease a policy or policies of insurance, at your sole cost and expense, insuring both
Landlord and you (and, if requested by Landlord, insuring the Superior Mortgagee) against all
claims, demands or actions arising out of or in connection with: (i) the Premises; (ii) the
condition of the Premises; (iii) your operations in and maintenance and use of the Premises; and
(iv) your liability assumed under this Lease, the limits of such policy or policies to be in the
amount of not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence in respect to injury to persons (including
death), and in the amount of not less than $250,000 per occurrence in respect to property damage or
destruction, including loss of use thereof. If Landlord has also obtained comprehensive liability
insurance, then the insurance required to be maintained by you pursuant to this Section shall be
primary and non contributing with respect to any policies carried by Landlord and any coverage
carried by Landlord shall be excess insurance.
12.04 Workers’ Compensation and Employer Liability Insurance. You shall procure and
maintain throughout the term of the Lease a policy or policies of insurance, at your sole cost and
expense, all workers’ compensation coverage as required by law and employer’s liability insurance.
12.05 Proof of Insurance. Insurance required to be procured and maintained by you
pursuant to this Article shall be procured by you from responsible insurance companies reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord. Certificate(s) of insurance reasonably acceptable to Landlord evidencing
your compliance with the provisions of Sections 12.02, 12.03 and 12.04 shall be delivered to
Landlord prior to the Commencement Date. Not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration
date of any such policies, updated certificate(s) of insurance shall be delivered to Landlord.
Such policies shall further provide that not less than thirty (30) days written notice shall be
given to Landlord before such policy may be canceled or changed to reduce insurance provided
thereby.

hereby waives any claim against the other which is insurable under the property insurance required
to be carried under Sections 12.01 and 12.02 of this Lease, irrespective of whether Landlord or you
actually maintains such insurance. Notwithstanding the preceding, if the damage or destruction to
the Building was caused by your negligence, then you agree, upon demand, to reimburse Landlord for
the deductible expended by Landlord under Landlord’s policy of insurance (but not in excess of
$20,000) to repair or rebuild the Building or part thereof after such damage or destruction. You
and the Landlord each agree to request the insurance carriers to include in the policies of
property insurance required to be carried under Sections 12.01 and 12.02 of this Lease, a waiver of
subrogation provision consistent with the foregoing waiver of claims.

CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION
CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION
13.01 Damage or Destruction. (a) If the Building should be totally destroyed by fire,
tornado or other casualty, or if the Building should be so damaged thereby that rebuilding or
repairs cannot in Landlord’s reasonable estimation be completed within the Restoration Period, this
Lease shall terminate and the Rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of this Lease,
effective upon the date of the occurrence of such damage.
(b) If the Building should be damaged by any peril covered by insurance to be provided by
Landlord under Section 12.01, but only to such extent that rebuilding or repairs can in Landlord’s
estimation be completed within the Restoration Period, this Lease shall not terminate, and Landlord
shall at its sole cost and expense thereupon proceed with reasonable diligence to rebuild and
repair the Building to substantially the condition in which it existed prior to such damage
(including damage to plate glass caused by a windstorm), except that Landlord shall not be required
to rebuild, repair or replace any part of the partitions, fixtures, additions and other
improvements which may have been placed in, on or about the Premises by you except that Landlord
may elect not to rebuild if such damage occurs during the last year of the term of the Lease
exclusive of any option which is unexercised at the time of such damage. If the Premises are
untenantable in whole or in part following such damage, the Rent payable hereunder during the
period in which they are untenantable shall be reduced to such extent as may be fair and reasonable
under all of the circumstances. If Landlord should fail to complete the repairs and rebuilding
within the Restoration Period, you may, at your option, terminate this Lease by delivering written
notice of termination to Landlord as your exclusive remedy, whereupon all rights and or obligations
hereunder shall cease and terminate. Should construction be delayed because of a Force Majeure
Event, the Restoration Period shall be extended for the time Landlord is so delayed.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Superior Mortgagee requires that the
insurance proceeds be applied to the indebtedness secured by a mortgage encumbering the Building,
then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of
termination to you within fifteen (15) days after such requirement is made by the Superior
Mortgagee, whereupon all rights and obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate.
13.02 Condemnation. If the whole or any substantial part of the Premises or Building
should be taken for any public or quasi-public use under governmental law, ordinance or regulation,
or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof, this Lease shall terminate
effective when the legal taking or private purchase in lieu thereof shall occur. If less than the
whole or less than a substantial part of the Premises or Building is thus taken or sold, Landlord
may nonetheless terminate this Lease by giving written notice to you in which event this Lease
shall terminate effective when the legal taking or private purchase in lieu thereof shall occur.
If this Lease is not terminated upon such taking or private sale in lieu thereof, the Rent payable
hereunder during the unexpired portion of this Lease shall be reduced to such extent as may be fair
and reasonable under all of the circumstances and Landlord shall undertake to restore the Premises
to a condition suitable for your use, as near to the condition thereof immediately prior to such
taking as is reasonably feasible under all the circumstances. All amounts awarded
23
from the legal taking or private purchase in lieu thereof shall belong to Landlord and you
shall not be entitled to and you expressly waive any claim to any of such proceeds, provided,
however, you shall be entitled to pursue a separate claim for your trade fixtures paid for by you
and for relocation expenses.
ARTICLE XIV
LANDLORD’S LIABILITY
LANDLORD’S LIABILITY
14.01 Liability and Indemnification. Landlord shall not be liable to you or your
employees, agents, patrons or visitors, or to any other person whomsoever, for any injury to person
or damage to property on or about the Premises, resulting from and/or caused in part or whole by
your negligence or misconduct or by the negligence or misconduct of your agents, servants or
employees or any other person entering upon the Premises, or caused by the buildings and
improvements located on the Premises becoming out of repair, or caused by leakage of gas, oil,
water or steam or by electricity emanating from the Premises, or due to the existence of mold or
mildew, or due to any cause whatsoever other than the grossly negligent or intentional acts of
Landlord, and you hereby covenant and agree that you will at all times indemnify and hold safe and
harmless the Building, the Landlord, Landlord’s agents and employees from any loss, liability,
claims, suits, costs, expenses, including without limitation attorney’s fees and damages, both real
and alleged, arising out of any such damage or injury; except injury to persons or damage to
property the sole cause of which is the gross negligence of Landlord or the failure of Landlord to
repair any part of the Building which Landlord is obligated to repair and maintain hereunder within
a reasonable time after the receipt of written notice from you of needed repairs.
14.02 Tenant Remedies. In the event of any default by Landlord, your exclusive remedy
shall be an action for damages or for specific performance or other injunctive relief if specific
performance or injunctive relief is a commercially reasonable remedy given the circumstances, but
prior to any such action you must give Landlord written notice specifying such default with
particularity, and Landlord shall thereupon have thirty (30) days in which to commence to cure such
default and proceed diligently thereafter to cure such default. Unless and until Landlord fails to
commence to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period and to proceed diligently
thereafter to cure such default, you shall not have any remedy or cause of action by reason
thereof.
14.03 Limitation on Liability. If Landlord shall fail to perform any covenant, term
or condition of this Lease upon Landlord’s part to be performed, and if as a consequence of such
default you shall recover a money judgment against Landlord, such judgment shall be satisfied only
out of the proceeds of sale received upon execution of such judgment and levied thereon against the
right, title and interest of Landlord in the Building and out of the rents or other income from the
Building receivable by Landlord, or out of the consideration received by Landlord from the sale or
other disposition of all or any part of Landlord’s right, title and interest in the Building,
including insurance and condemnation proceeds, subject, nevertheless, to the rights of a Superior
Mortgagee, and neither Landlord nor any of the stockholders, partners or members comprising the
entity which is Landlord herein shall be liable for any deficiency.

ARTICLE XV
TENANT DEFAULT
TENANT DEFAULT
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and in addition to all rights or remedies afforded
to Landlord elsewhere in this Lease or at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the following
rights and remedies:
15.01 Retake Possession of the Premises and or Termination. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, Landlord shall have the immediate right to reenter the Premises, either by
summary proceedings or without summary proceedings if such reentry can be done peaceably, and to
disposes you and all other occupants from the Premises and remove and dispose of all property
situated within the Premises, or at Landlord’s election, to store such property in a public
warehouse or elsewhere at your cost and for your account, all without any service of notice of
intention to reenter and with or without resort to legal process (which requirement of legal
process is hereby waived by you as long as such reentry can be done peaceably) and without Landlord
being deemed guilty of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned
thereby. Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default, Landlord shall also have the right, at
its option, in addition to and not in limitation of any other right or remedy available under this
Lease or at law or in equity, to terminate this Lease by giving you notice of cancellation and upon
the mailing of such notice, this Lease and the Term shall end and expire as fully and completely as
if the date of said notice were the date herein definitely fixed for the end and expiration of this
Lease and the Term and thereupon, unless Landlord shall have previously elected to reenter the
Premises, Landlord shall have the immediate right of reentry in the manner aforesaid, and you and
all other occupants shall quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord but you shall remain liable
to Landlord as set forth herein. No reentry or taking possession of the Premises or acceptance of
keys to the Premises voluntarily given by you following an Event of Default, shall be construed as
an election on the part of Landlord to terminate this Lease unless written notice of such intention
be given by Landlord to you or unless the termination thereof shall result as a matter of law or be
decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any retaking of possession for your
account or reletting for your account, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this
Lease.
15.02 Reletting of the Premises. If by reason of the occurrence of an Event of
Default, the Term shall end before the date originally fixed herein, or if by reason of an Event of
Default Landlord retook possession of the Premises without an early termination of the Lease and
the Term, or if you are ejected, dispossessed, or removed from the Premises by summary proceedings
or in any other manner as a result of an Event of Default, Landlord at any time thereafter may
relet all or a part of the Premises, either in the name of Landlord or as agent for you, for a term
or terms which, at Landlord’s option may be less than or exceed the period of the remainder of the
Term or which otherwise would have constituted the balance of the Term had such Term not been
sooner terminated and grant concessions and free Rent. Landlord shall in no event be liable in any
way for Landlord’s failure to relet the Premises or to collect any rent receivable from such
reletting. Landlord is hereby authorized and empowered to make such repairs, alterations,
subdivisions or other preparations for the reletting of the Premises as Landlord deems fit,
advisable and necessary, without in any way releasing you from any liability hereunder. Landlord
shall receive the rents from such reletting and apply the same, first, to the payment of any
monetary obligation due under this Lease other than Rent, second to the payment
25
of any expenses as Landlord may have incurred in connection with reentering, ejecting
removing, dispossessing, reletting, altering, repairing, subdividing or otherwise preparing the
Premises for reletting, including reasonable brokerage and reasonable attorney fees, and the
residue, if any, Landlord shall apply to your fulfillment of the terms, conditions and covenants
hereunder and you waive any right to the surplus, if any. The residue, if any, is herein referred
to as the “net rents received by Landlord from reletting”.
15.03 Damages for Rent. In addition to any damages for unpaid Rent and any additional
rent that accrues up until the time that Landlord regains possession of the Premises, you shall be
liable for and shall pay to Landlord as damages any deficiency between the Rent reserved herein and
the net rents received by Landlord from reletting, if any, for each month of the period which
otherwise would have constituted the balance of the Term. You shall pay such deficiency on an
accelerated basis as provided for herein or, at Landlord’s sole option, in monthly installments on
the due date for such Rent installment as specified in this Lease, and any suit or proceeding
brought to collect the deficiency for any month, either during the Term or after any termination
thereof, shall not prejudice or preclude in any way the rights of Landlord to collect the
deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar suit or proceeding. Unless Landlord elects to
forego the acceleration of Rent, accelerated Rent shall be calculated as the present value of the
Rent due for the remainder of the Term, or, in the case of a termination, which would have been due
for the remainder of the Term had such Term not been sooner terminated as a result of the Event of
Default. For these purposes, the discount rate to be used for purposes of calculating the present
value shall be the average rate established and announced for United States Treasury Bills, with a
maturity of thirteen weeks at the four weekly auctions held immediately prior to the date that
Landlord obtained possession of the Premises. Landlord shall, however, account to you for the net
rents received by Landlord from reletting on a monthly basis only if you have paid to Landlord the
damages recoverable by Landlord from you as provided for herein and only to the extent of such
payments.
15.04 Landlord’s Self Help Remedy. If an Event of Default occurs and if Landlord
elects not to reenter the Premises to take possession, then notwithstanding, Landlord shall have
the right to enter upon the Premises, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages
therefore, and do whatever you were obligated to do under the terms of this Lease to cure the Event
of Default, and you agree to reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses which Landlord may incur
in thus effecting compliance with your obligations under this Lease, and you further agree that
Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting to you from such action, whether caused by
the negligence of Landlord or otherwise.
15.05 Late Charges/NSF Checks. If you fail to pay any installment of Rent hereunder
as when such installment is due, or if you fail to pay any additional rent or any other payment
required to be made by you to Landlord hereunder, then to help defray the additional cost to
Landlord for processing such late payment, you agree to pay to Landlord a late charge in an amount
equal to five (5%) percent of such installment or payment. The provision for such late charge
shall be in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall
not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord’s remedies in any manner. If your
check, given to Landlord in payment, is returned by the bank for non-payment, you agree to pay all
expenses incurred by Landlord as a result thereof.
26
15.06 Waiver. No waiver by Landlord of an Event of Default by you shall be deemed a
waiver of any other, term, covenant or condition hereof, or of any subsequent Event of Default by
you of the same or any other term, covenant or condition hereof. If Landlord executes this Lease
and delivers a counterpart original to you prior to your tender of any payments required hereunder
including prepaid Rent and Security Deposit, such action shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the
requirement for immediate payment of the prepaid Rent and Security Deposit and Landlord shall have
the right to declare an immediate Event of Default for your failure to tender the prepaid Rent and
Security Deposit if not paid within three days of receipt of demand from Landlord (which demand may
be made in the transmittal letter or transmittal memo enclosing the executed counterpart of the
Lease).
ARTICLE XVI

ESTOPPEL STATEMENT, SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT
ESTOPPEL STATEMENT, SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT
18.01 Estoppel Statement. You shall, without charge, at any time and from time to
time, within ten (10) days after receipt by you of written request made by Landlord or made by any
Superior Mortgagee (or prospective Superior Mortgagee), deliver a duly executed and acknowledged
certificate or statement to the party requesting said certificate or statement or to any other
person, firm, corporation or other entity designated by Landlord, certifying: (a) that this Lease
is unmodified and in full force and effect, or, if there has been any modification, that the same
is in full force and effect as modified, and stating any such modification; (b) the Commencement
Date and Expiration Date of this Lease; (c) that Rent is paid currently without any offset or
defense thereto; (d) the dates to which Rent has been paid, and the amount of Rent, if any, paid in
advance; (e) whether or not there is then existing any claim of Landlord’s default hereunder and,
if so, specifying the nature thereof; and (f) any other information relating to the status of this
Lease as shall be reasonably requested; provided that, in fact, such facts are accurate and
ascertainable.
18.02 Subordination. You are accepting this Lease subject and subordinate to any
mortgage and/or deed of trust now or at any time hereafter constituting a lien or charge upon the
Building or the Premises, without the necessity of any act or execution of any additional
instrument of subordination; provided, however, that if the mortgagee, trustee, or holder of any
such mortgage or deed of trust elects to have your interest in this Lease superior to any such
instrument, then by notice to you from such mortgagee, trustee or holder, this Lease shall be
deemed superior to such lien, whether this Lease was executed before or after said mortgage or deed
of trust. You shall at any time within ten days of demand, execute any instruments,
27
releases or other documents which may be required by any Superior Mortgagee for the purpose of
evidencing the subjection and subordination of this Lease to the lien of any such mortgage or for
the purpose of evidencing the superiority of this Lease to the lien of any such mortgage as may be
the case.
18.03 Attornment. If a Superior Mortgagee or any other party succeeds to the interest
of Landlord under the Lease in any manner, including but not limited to foreclosure, exercise of
any power of sale, succession by deed in lieu or other conveyance (a “Succession”), then
upon written notice from the Superior Mortgagee or other party succeeding to the interest of
Landlord under the Lease (the “New Landlord”), you will attorn to and be bound to the New
Landlord upon such Succession and will recognize the New Landlord as the landlord under the Lease.
Such attornment is effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instrument.
Upon the request of the New Landlord, you will sign and deliver any instruments reasonably
requested to evidence such attornment. You waive the provisions of any statute or rule of law, now
or hereafter in effect, which may give or purport to give you any right or election to terminate or
otherwise adversely affect the Lease and your obligations hereunder as a result of any such
Succession. Upon any Succession, the New Landlord shall not be (a) liable for any act or omission
of the Landlord under the Lease occurring prior to the Succession, (b) subject to any offsets or
defenses which you may have against Landlord arising or occurring prior to the Succession, or (c)
bound by any rent or additional rent which you may have paid to Landlord for more than the current
month.
18.04 Superior Mortgagee Cure Rights. No act or failure to act on the part of
Landlord which would entitle you, under the express terms of this Lease or by law, to be relieved
of your obligations under this Lease or to terminate this Lease, shall result in a release of such
obligations or a termination of this Lease unless: (i) You have given notice by certified mail,
return receipt requested, to the Superior Mortgagee; and (ii) you offer the Superior Mortgagee an
opportunity to cure such default within thirty (30) days next following receipt of such notice, or
if such default cannot be cured within thirty days, to commence to cure the default within the
thirty day period and to proceed diligently thereafter to cure the default.
18.05 Remedies. Your failure to execute any statements or instruments necessary or
desirable to effectuate the foregoing provisions of this Article within the time limits specified
in this Article (which time limits are not subject to any grace period), shall constitute an Event
of Default. In the event of such failure, Landlord, in addition to any other rights or remedies it
might have, shall have the right by not less than ten (10) days’ notice to you to declare this
Lease terminated and the term ended, in which event this Lease shall cease and terminate on the
date specified in such notice with the same force and effect as though the date set forth in such
notice were the date originally set forth herein and fixed for the expiration of the term; upon
such termination you shall vacate and surrender the Premises, but shall remain liable for all
obligations arising during the original stated term as provided in this Lease by reason of said
Event of Default.

ARTICLE XIX
MECHANICS LIENS
MECHANICS LIENS
You (the Tenant) shall have no authority, express or implied, to create or place any lien or
encumbrance of any kind or nature whatsoever upon, or in any manner to bind the interests of
Landlord in the Premises or to charge the rentals payable hereunder for any claim in favor of any
person dealing with you, including those who may furnish materials or perform labor for any
construction or repairs and nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as a consent on the
part of the Landlord to subject the estate of the Landlord to liability under the Construction Lien
Law of the State of Florida, it being expressly understood that the Landlord’s estate shall not be
subject to liens for improvements made by you and each such claim shall affect and each such lien
shall attach to, if at all, only the leasehold interest granted to you by this instrument. You
covenant and agree that you will pay or cause to be paid all sums legally due and payable by you on
account of any labor performed or materials furnished in connection with any work performed on the
Premises on which any lien is or can be validly and legally asserted against its leasehold interest
in the Premises or the improvements thereon and that you will save and hold Landlord harmless from
any and all loss, cost or expense based on or arising out of asserted claims or liens against the
leasehold estate or against the right, title and interest of the Landlord in the Premises or under
the terms of this Lease. You agree to give Landlord immediate written notice if any lien or
encumbrance is placed on the Premises.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease relating to improvements, additions, alterations,
repairs or reconstruction of or to the Premises, you and the Landlord each agree and confirm that:
(i) Landlord has not consented nor will Landlord ever consent to the furnishing of any labor or
materials to the Premises that would or may result in any mechanic’s or materialman’s lien
attaching to Landlord’s interest in the Premises; (ii) you are not the agent of Landlord for the
purposes of any such improvements, additions, alterations, repairs or reconstruction; and (iii)
except as expressly provided herein, Landlord has retained no control over the manner in which any
such improvements, additions, alterations, repairs or reconstruction are accomplished, and has made
no agreement to make or be responsible for any payment to or for the benefit of any person
furnishing labor or materials in connection therewith. No one furnishing labor or materials to or
for your account shall be entitled to claim any lien against the interest of Landlord in the
Premises and such entities shall look solely to you and your leasehold interest under this Lease
for the satisfaction of any such claims.
You shall be liable for all taxes levied or assessed against personal property, furniture or
fixtures placed by you in the Premises. If any such taxes for which you are liable are levied or
assessed against Landlord or Landlord’s property and if Landlord elects to pay the same or if the
assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by inclusion of personal property, furniture or
fixtures placed by you in the Premises, and Landlord elects to pay the taxes based on such
increase, you shall pay to Landlord upon demand that part of such taxes.

21.01 Words of any gender used in this Lease shall be held or construed to include any other
gender, and words in the singular number shall be held to include the plural, unless the context
otherwise requires.
21.02 The terms, provisions and covenants and conditions contained in this Lease shall apply
to, inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties hereto and upon their respective
heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns, except as otherwise herein
expressly provided. Landlord shall have the right to assign any of its rights and obligations under
this Lease and Landlord’s grantee or Landlord’s successor, as the case may be, shall upon such
assignment, become Landlord hereunder, thereby freeing and relieving the grantor or assignor, as
the case may be, of all covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder so long as the grantee or
successor has assumed in writing Landlord’s obligations hereunder arising from and after the date
of transfer. Nothing herein contained shall give any other tenant in the Building any enforceable
rights either against Landlord or you as a result of the covenants and obligations of
30
either party set forth herein. If there is more than one tenant, your obligation shall be
joint and several. Any indemnification of, insurance of, or option granted to Landlord shall also
include or be exercisable by Landlord’s agents and employees.
21.03 The captions inserted in this Lease are for convenience only and in no way define, limit
or otherwise describe the scope or intent of this Lease, or any provision hereof, or in any way
affect the interpretation of this Lease.
21.04 This Lease constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between you and the
Landlord with respect to the subject matter of this Lease, and contains all of the covenants and
agreements of Landlord and you with respect thereto. You and the Landlord each acknowledge that no
representations, inducements, promises or agreements, oral or written, have been made by Landlord
or you, or anyone acting on behalf of Landlord or you, which are not contained herein, and any
prior agreements, promises, negotiations, or representations not expressly set forth in this Lease
are of no force or effect. You have not relied upon any representation of Landlord or its agents,
other than items contained in this Lease, as an inducement to enter into this Lease. No
alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord or you
unless reduced to writing and signed by each party (which signatures may be by facsimile
transmission and such facsimile transmission shall be deemed to be an original as to any such
alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Lease).
21.05 All of your obligations not fully performed as of the expiration or earlier termination
of the term of this Lease shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the term,
including without limitation, all payment obligations with respect to Operating Costs and all
obligations concerning the condition of the Premises. Upon the expiration or earlier termination
of the term, and prior to you vacating the Premises, you shall pay to Landlord any amount
reasonably estimated by Landlord as necessary to put the Premises, including without limitation
heating and air conditioning systems and equipment therein, in its Exit Condition. Any work
required to be done by you prior to your vacation of the Premises which has not been completed upon
such vacation, shall be completed by Landlord and billed to you at cost, which cost may include any
construction management fee required to be paid by Landlord to Landlord’s property manager. You
shall also, prior to vacating the Premises, pay to Landlord the amount, as estimated by Landlord,
of your obligation hereunder for Operating Costs. All such amounts shall be used and held by
Landlord for payment of your obligations hereunder, with you being liable for any additional costs
therefore upon demand by Landlord, or with any excess to be returned to you after all such
obligations have been determined and satisfied, as the case may be.
21.06 If any clause, provision or portion of this Lease or the application thereof to any
person or circumstance shall be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, such event shall not
affect, impair or render invalid or unenforceable the remainder of this Lease nor any other clause,
phrase, provision or portion hereof, nor shall it affect the application of any clause, phrase,
provision or portion hereof to other persons or circumstances, and it is also the intention of the
parties to this Lease that in lieu of each such phrase, provision or portion of this Lease that is
invalid or unenforceable, there be added as a part of this Lease, a clause, phrase, provision or
portion which is valid.

21.07 Submission of this Lease shall not be deemed to be a reservation of the Premises.
Landlord shall not be bound hereby until its delivery to you of an executed copy hereof signed by
Landlord, already having been signed by you, and until such delivery Landlord reserves the right to
exhibit and lease the Premises to other prospective tenants. Execution of this Lease by you shall
be irrevocable for a period of ten business days immediately following delivery to Landlord.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary Landlord may withhold delivery of
possession of the Premises from you until such time as you have paid to Landlord any Prepaid Rent
as required hereunder, and any other sums required hereunder and delivered to Landlord the
certificate(s) of insurance required to be provided by you hereunder.
21.08 Time is of the essence of this Lease. However, whenever a period of time is herein
prescribed for the taking of any action by Landlord or you, then Landlord or you, as applicable,
shall not be liable or responsible for, and there shall be excluded from the computation of such
