This lease shall be for a term of thirty-six (36) months ("Term")
commencing on April 1, 2001, ("Commencement Date"), and terminating at 12:01
A.M., local time, on March 31, 2004 ("Termination Date"). Tenant may have

2.3. The Tenant shall not place or permit its agents or employees to place
any trash or other objects anywhere within the Building or on the rest of the
Property (other than within the Premises) without first obtaining Landlord's
express written consent thereto.
Section 3. Rent.
3.1. Amount. As rent for the Premises (all of which is hereinafter
referred to collectively as "Rent"), the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord the
Base Rent and the Additional Rent as hereinafter set forth without setoff or
demand:
3.1.1. Base Rent. Tenant shall pay an annual Base Rent plus
applicable Florida State Sales Tax in advance, on the first day of each calendar
month during the term of this Lease in accordance with the following schedule:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Period Monthly Base Total Monthly
Rent*/1/ FSST*/2/ Rent
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
04/01/01 - 03/31/02 $2,969.17 $207.84 $3,177.01
04/01/02 - 03/31/03 $3,117.62 $218.23 $3,335.85
04/01/03 - 03/31/04 $3,273.50 $229.15 $3,502.65
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: */1/ The Monthly Base Rent for each Lease Period includes estimated
Annual Operating Costs, subject to adjustment pursuant to Paragraph
3.1.2. (b).
*/2/ Subject to annual adjustment based upon total of Base Rent and
Additional Rent, if any, for each Lease Period.
If the Commencement Date shall fall on a day other than the first day of a
calendar month, the Rent shall be apportioned pro rata on a per diem basis for
the period between the Commencement Date and the first day of the following
calendar month and such apportioned sum shall be paid on such Commencement Date.
One monthly installment of Base Rent and applicable sales tax shall be due and
payable on the date of execution of this Lease by Tenant for the first month's
rent. In addition, Tenant shall pay Landlord without setoff any Additional Rent
as hereinafter set forth.
3.1.2. Additional Rent.
(a) Annual Operating Costs. As used herein the term "Annual
Operating Costs" shall mean the costs to Landlord of operating and maintaining
the Property during each calendar year of the Term. Such costs shall include, by
way of example rather than limitation, insurance premiums, real estate taxes,
fees, impositions, costs for repairs, maintenance, service contracts, management
fees, governmental permits, overhead expenses, costs of furnishing water, sewer,
gas, fuel, electricity, other utility services, janitorial services, trash
removal and the costs of any other items attributable to operating or
maintaining any or all of the Property excluding any costs which under generally
accepted accounting principles are capital expenditures.
(b) Computation. After the end of each calendar year during the
Term, the Landlord will compute the Annual Operating Costs incurred during such
calendar year, and shall allocate such costs to the usable space within the
Property by dividing such Annual Operating Costs by the aggregate square footage
of all of the usable space. Provided, however, where the Tenant and/or any other
tenant of space within the Property has agreed its lease or otherwise to provide
any items of such service partially or entirely at its own expense or wherever
any such item of expense is not incurred with respect to all of the usable space
within the Property, in allocating the Annual Operating Costs pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Subsection, the Landlord shall make an appropriate
adjustment, using generally accepted accounting principles, so as to avoid
allocating to the Tenant or to such other tenant (as the case may be) those
Annual Operating Costs covering such services already being provided by the
Tenant or to such other tenant at its own expense, or to avoid allocating to all
of the usable space within the Property those Annual Operating Costs incurred
only with respect to a portion thereof.
(c) Payment as Additional Rent. The Tenant shall, within thirty (30)
days after demand therefore by the Landlord (with respect to each calendar year
during the Term), pay to the Landlord as Additional Rent the amount obtained by
multiplying the number of usable square feet as set forth hereinabove by the
amount by which the Annual Operating Costs per usable square foot of the
Premises for such calendar year (as derived under the provisions of paragraph
3.1.2) exceeds the said sum of the actual 2001 Annual Operating Costs per usable
square foot. The Premises are 2.27% of the Building's usable space which is
currently 112,292 square feet, subject to adjustment from time-to-time based
upon the total usable square footage in the Building. Notwithstanding any
provisions of this Section 3.1.2., no Annual Operating Costs shall be due from
Tenant for the calendar year 2001.
(d) Proration. If only part of any calendar year falls within the
Term, the amount computed as Additional Rent with respect to such calendar year
under the foregoing provisions of this subsection shall be prorated in
proportion to the portion of such calendar year falling within the Term, but the
expiration of the Term before the end of such calendar year shall not impair the
Tenant's obligation hereunder to pay such prorated portion of such Additional
Rent with respect to that portion of such year falling within the Term, which
shall be paid on demand.
(e) Landlord's Right to Estimate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Landlord may, at its discretion, make from time to time during the Term a
reasonable estimate of the Additional Rent which may become due under such
provisions with respect to any calendar year, and may require the Tenant to pay
to the Landlord with respect to each calendar month during such year one-twelfth
(1/12) of such Additional Rent, at the time and in the manner that the Tenant is
required hereunder to pay the monthly installment of the Base Rent for such
month. In such event, the Landlord shall cause the actual amount of such
Additional Rent to be computed within one hundred twenty (120) days after the
end of such calendar year, and the Tenant or the Landlord, as the case may be,
shall promptly thereafter pay to the other the amount of any deficiency or
overpayment therein, as the case may be.
3.2 Tax on Lease. If federal, state or local law now or hereafter imposes
any tax, assessment, levy or other charge (other than any income tax) directly
or indirectly upon (a) the Landlord with respect to this Lease or the value
thereof, (b) the Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, (c) the Base Rent,
Additional Rent, or any other sum payable under this Lease, or (d) this
transaction, except if and to the extent that such tax, assessment, levy or
other change is included in the Annual Operating Costs, the Tenant shall pay the
amount thereof as Additional Rent to the Landlord upon demand, unless the Tenant
is prohibited by law from doing so, in which event the Landlord may, at it
selection, terminate this Lease by giving written notice thereof to the Tenant.
3.3 Place of Payment. All Rent and other charges due from the Tenant to
the Landlord hereunder shall be paid to the Landlord, when due, at the
Landlord's address as set forth herein, or as Landlord may from time to time so
designate.
3.4 Late Charges. Tenant shall be granted a grace period through the
tenth (10th) day of each month to pay all Base Rent, Additional Rent and other
charges then due ("Total Rent") unless Tenant is notified in writing by Landlord
that Tenant has been delinquent in the payment of Rent more than two (2) times,
in which case the grace period shall be reduced to the fifth (5th) day of the
month. Total Rent or any portion thereof which is not received by the Landlord
or its designated agent by the tenth (10th) day of
the month or the fifth (5th) day of the month, as the case may be, shall incur a
late fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the amount due per month, or $150.00,
whichever amount is greater.
3.5. Security Deposit.
3.5.1. Simultaneously with the full execution and delivery of
this Lease by the parties hereto, the Tenant shall deposit with the Landlord the
sum of Three Thousand One Hundred Seventy-Seven and 01/100 Dollars ($3,177.01),
which shall be retained by the Landlord as security for the Tenant's payment of
the Rent, and its performance of all of its other obligations under the
provisions of this Lease.
3.5.2. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, in addition
to all other available remedies, the Landlord shall be entitled, at its sole
discretion,
(a) to apply any or all of such sum in payment of any Rent, for
the payment of which the Tenant is in default, any expense incurred by the
Landlord in curing any such default, and/or any damages incurred by the Landlord
by reason of such default (including, by way of example rather than limitation,
the expense of reasonable attorney's fees); and/or
(b) to retain any or all of such sum in liquidation of any or
all damages suffered by the Landlord by reason of such default.
3.5.3. Upon the termination of this Lease, any of such sum
which is not so paid or retained shall be returned to the Tenant, within thirty
(30) days.
3.5.4. Such sum shall not bear interest while being held by the
Landlord hereunder.
Section 4. Assignment and Subletting.
4.1. The tenant shall not mortgage, pledge or encumber this Lease.
4.2. The Tenant shall not assign this Lease, or sublet or underlet any
or all of the Premises, or permit any other person or entity to occupy any or
all of the Premises, without on each occasion first obtaining the Landlord's
written consent thereto which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but
may be conditioned, inter alia, upon the entry by the parties involved into
appropriate instruments by which they ratify and confirm this Lease. For
purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Subsection, a transfer, by any
person or persons controlling the Tenant on the date hereof, of such control to
a person or persons not controlling the Tenant on the date hereof shall be
deemed to be an assignment of this Lease. No such action taken with or without
the Landlord's consent shall in any way relieve or release the Tenant from
liability for the timely performance of all the Tenant's obligations hereunder.
The Landlord shall be entitled to receive and retain, and the Tenant shall
promptly remit to the Landlord, any profit which may inure to the Tenant's
benefit as a result of any such assignment, subletting or underletting, whether
or not consented to by the Landlord.
4.3. Anything contained in the foregoing provisions of this Section to
the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Tenant nor any other person having an
interest in the possession, use, occupancy or utilization of the Premises or any
other portion of the Property shall enter into any lease, sublease, license,
concession or other agreement for the use, occupancy or utilization of space in
the Premises or any other portion of the Property which provides for any rental
or other payment for such use, occupancy or utilization based in whole or in
part upon the net income or profits derived by any person from the space in the
Premises or other portion of the Property so leased, used, occupied or utilized
(other than any amount based on a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts or
sales.)
Section 5. Tenant's Plan for Improvements.
5.1. Leasehold Improvements. The Landlord shall make the improvements
to the Premises which are set forth in the plans and specifications attached
hereto as Exhibit A. The Landlord shall use its best efforts to complete such
---------
improvements by the date upon which the Tenant is entitled to occupy the
Premises pursuant to this Lease, but shall have no liability to the Tenant
hereunder if prevented from doing so by reason of any (a) strike, lock-out or
other labor troubles, (b) governmental restrictions or limitations, (c) failure
or shortage of electrical power, gas, water, fuel oil, or other utility or
service, (d) riot, war, insurrection or other national or local emergency, (e)
accident, flood, fire or other casualty, (f) adverse weather condition, (g)
other acts of God, (h) inability to obtain a building permit or a certificate of
occupancy, or (i) other cause similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing and
beyond the Landlord's reasonable control; in which event the dates of
commencement and expiration of the Term shall be postponed for a length of time
equaling the length of such delay, and the Tenant shall accept possession of the
Premises within ten (10) days after such completion.
5.2. Acceptance of Possession. Except for (a) latest defects or
incomplete work which would not reasonably have been revealed by an inspection
of the Premises made for the purpose of discovering the same at the time of the
Tenant's assumption of possession of the Premises, and (b) any other items of
incomplete work which are set forth on a punch list submitted to and approved in
writing by the Landlord prior to such assumption of possession, by its
assumption of possession of the Premises, the Tenant shall for all purposes of
this Lease be deemed to have accepted them and to have acknowledged them to be
in the condition called for hereunder.
Section 6. Fire and Other Casualty.
6.1. General. If the Premises are damaged by fire or any other casualty
during the Term,
6.1.1. the Landlord shall restore the Premises, subject to
provisions of any mortgage encumbering the Premises, with reasonable promptness
[taking into account the time required by the Landlord to effect a settlement
with, and to procure any insurance proceeds from, any insurer against such
casualty, but in any event within one hundred fifty (150) days after the date of
such casualty] to substantially their condition immediately before such
casualty, and may temporarily enter and possess any or all of the Premises for
such purpose (provided, that the Landlord shall not be liable for interruption
to Tenant's business and not be obligated to repair, restore or replace any
fixture, improvement, alteration, furniture or other property owned, installed
or made by the Tenant), but
6.1.2. the times for commencement and completion of any such
restoration shall be extended for the period [not longer than sixty (60) days]
of any delay occasioned by the Landlord in doing so arising out of any of the
causes enumerated in the provisions of subsection 5.1. If the Landlord
undertakes to restore the Premises and such restoration is not accomplished
within the said period of one hundred fifty (150) days plus the period of any
extension thereof, as aforesaid, the Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving
written notice thereof to the Landlord within thirty (30) days after the
expiration of such period, as so extended; and
6.1.3. for so long as the Tenant is deprived of the use of any
or all of the Premises on account of such casualty, the Base Rent and any
Additional Rent payable under the provisions of Subsection 3.1.2 shall be abated
in proportion to the number of square feet of the Premises rendered
substantially unfit for occupancy by such casualty, unless because of any such
damage, the undamaged portion of the Premises is made materially unsuitable for
use by the Tenant for the purposes set forth in the provisions of Section 2, in
which event the Base Rent and any such Additional Rent shall be abated entirely
during such period of deprivation.
6.2. Substantial Destruction. Anything contained in the foregoing
provisions of this Section to the contrary notwithstanding.
6.2.1. if during the Term the Building is so damaged by fire or
any other casualty that (a) either the Premises or (whether or not the Premises
are damaged) the Building is rendered substantially unfit for occupancy, as
reasonably determined by the Landlord, or (b) the Building is damaged to the
extent that the Landlord reasonably elects to demolish the Building, then in
either case the Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease as of the date of the
occurrence of such damage, by giving written notice thereof to the Tenant
within thirty (30) days after such date; and
6.2.2. in such event, (a) the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord
the Base Rent and any Additional Rent (apportioned, where applicable) to the
time of such termination, (b) the Landlord shall repay to the Tenant any and all
prepaid Rent for periods beyond such termination, and (c) the Landlord may enter
upon and repossess the Premises without further notice.
6.3. Tenant's Negligence. Anything contained in any provision of this
Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, if any such damage to the Premises, the
Building or both are caused by or result from the negligent or intentionally
tortious act or omission of the Tenant, those claiming under the Tenant or any
of their respective officers, employees, agents or invitees:
6.3.1. the Rent shall not be suspended or apportioned as
aforesaid, and
6.3.2. except if and to the extent that the Tenant is released
from liability therefor pursuant to the provisions of Subsection 11.4, the
Tenant shall pay to the Landlord upon demand, as Additional Rent, the cost of
(a) any repairs and restoration made or to be made as a result of such damage,
or (b) (if the Landlord elects not to restore the Building) any damage or loss
which the Landlord may incur as a result of such damage.

1:00 p.m. on Saturday (except for legal holidays) during the Term, (c)

Landlord's expense.
7.2. Extraordinary Service. If the Tenant:
7.2.1. requires electrical current in excess of four (4) xxxxx
per square foot for outlets and fluorescent lighting, or installs electrical
equipment (including, by way of example rather than of limitation, any
electrical heating or refrigeration equipment, electronic data processing
machine, or machinery or equipment using current in excess of 110 volts which in
any way increases the amount of electricity which would normally be consumed
upon the Premises when used as general office space), or
7.2.2. intends to use the Premises in such a manner that the
services to be furnished by the Landlord hereunder would be required during
periods other than or in addition to the business hours customarily observed in
the locality of the Property, then in either case the Tenant shall not do so
without first obtaining the Landlord's written approval thereof, and shall pay
periodically as Additional Rent the additional direct expense resulting
therefrom, including that resulting from any installation of such equipment.

Landlord's written consent thereto (which, in the case of nonstructural
alteration, additions and improvements only, shall not be unreasonably
withheld.) If the Landlord consents to any such proposed alteration, addition or
improvement, it shall be made at the Tenant's sole expense (and the Tenant shall
hold the Landlord harmless from any cost incurred on account thereof), and at
such time and in such manner as not unreasonably to interfere with the use and
enjoyment of the remainder of the Property by any tenant or any other person.
7.3.3. The interest of Landlord in the Premises shall not be
subject to liens for improvements made by the Tenant.

or
6
8.1.3. if (a) an order, judgment or decree is entered by any
court of competent jurisdiction adjudicating the Tenant a bankrupt or an

insolvency, readjustment, receivership or similar law, and if such order,
judgment, decree or proceeding continues unstayed for more than sixty (60)

Tenant, and
8.2.2. the Tenant has failed, (a) if such Event of Default

until either party hereto notifies the other in writing, at least fifteen (15)
days before the end of any calendar month, that the party giving such notice
elects to terminate such tenancy at the end of such calendar month, in which

Florida.
11.3. Insurance to be Maintained by Landlord. The Landlord shall maintain
through the Term all-risk or fire and extended coverage insurance upon the
Building. The cost of the premiums for such insurance and of each endorsement
thereto shall be deemed, for the purposes of Section 3, to be part of the costs
of operating and maintaining the Property.
11.4. Waiver of Subrogation. If either party hereto is paid any proceeds
under any policy of insurance naming such party as an insured, on account of any
loss, damage or liability, then such party hereby releases the other party
hereto, to and only to the extent of the amount of such proceeds, from any and
all liability for such loss, damage or liability, notwithstanding that such
loss, damage or liability may arise out of the negligent or intentionally
tortious act or omission of the other party, its agents or employees; provided,
that such release shall be effective only with respect to loss or damage
occurring during such time as the appropriate policy of insurance of the
releasing party provides that such release shall not impair the effectiveness of
such policy or the insured's ability to recover thereunder. Each party hereto
shall use reasonable efforts to have a clause to such effect included in its
said policies, and shall promptly notify the other in writing if such clause
cannot be included in any such policy.
11.5. Liability of Parties. Except if and to the extent that such party is
released from liability to the other party hereto pursuant to the provisions of
Subsection 11.4:

11.5.1. the Landlord (a) shall be responsible for, and shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Tenant against and from any and all liability
arising out of any injury to or death of any person or damage to any property,
occurring anywhere upon the Property, if, only if and to the extent that such
injury, death or damage is proximately caused by the gross negligence or
intentionally tortious act or omission of the Landlord or its agents, officers
or employees, but (b) shall not be responsible for or be obligated to indemnify
or hold harmless the Tenant against or from any liability for any such injury,
death or damage occurring anywhere upon the Property (including the Premises),
by reason of the Tenant's occupancy or use of the Premises or any other portion
of the Property, or because of fire, windstorm, act of God or any other cause
unless proximately caused by such gross negligence or intentionally tortious act
or omission, as aforesaid; and
11.5.2. subject to the operation and effect of the foregoing
provisions of this Subsection, the Tenant shall be responsible for, and shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Landlord against and from, any and all liability
arising out of any injury to or death of any person or damage to any property,
occurring within the Premises.
Section 12. Eminent Domain.
12.1. Right to Award.
12.1.1. If any or all of the Premises are taken by the exercise of
any power of eminent domain or are conveyed to or at the direction of any
governmental entity under a threat of any such taking (each of which is
hereinafter referred to as a "Condemnation"), the Landlord shall be entitled to
collect from the condemning authority thereunder the entire amount of any award
made in any such proceeding or as consideration for such deed, without deduction
therefrom for any leasehold or other estate held by the Tenant by virtue of this
Lease.
12.1.2. The Tenant hereby (a) assigns to the Landlord all of the
Tenant's right, title and interest, if any, in and to any such award; (b) waives
any right which it may otherwise have in connection with such Condemnation,
against the Landlord or such condemning authority, to any payment for the value
of the then unexpired portion of the Term, leasehold damages, and any damage to
or diminution of the value of the Tenant's leasehold interest hereunder or any
portion of the Premises not covered by such Condemnation; and (c) agrees to
execute any and all further documents which may be required in order to
facilitate the Landlord's collection of any and all such awards.
12.1.3. Subject to the operation and effect of the foregoing
provisions of this Section, the Tenant may seek, in a separate proceeding, a
separate award on account of any damages or costs incurred by the Tenant as a
result of such Condemnation, so long as such separate award in no way diminishes
any award or payment which the Landlord would otherwise receive as a result of
such Condemnation.
12.2. Effect of Condemnation.
12.2.1. If (a) all of the Premises are covered by a Condemnation,
or (b) if any part of the Premises is covered by a Condemnation and the
remainder thereof is insufficient for the reasonable operation therein of the
Tenant's business, or (c) any of the Building is covered by a Condemnation and,
in the Landlord's reasonable opinion, it would be impractical to restore the
remainder thereof, then in any such event, the Term shall terminate on the date
upon which possession of so much of the Premises or the Building, as the case
may be, as is covered by such Condemnation is taken by the condemning authority
thereunder, and all Rent (including, by way of example rather than of
limitation, any Additional Rent payable pursuant to the provisions of Subsection
3.2), taxes, and other charges payable hereunder shall be prorated and paid to
such date.
12.2.2. If there is a Condemnation and the Term does not terminate
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of the Subsection, the operation and effect
of this Lease shall be unaffected by such Condemnation, except that the Base
Rent and the Additional Rent payable under the provisions of Section 3 shall be
reduced in proportion to the square footage of floor area, if any, of the
Premises covered by such Condemnation.
12.3. If there is a Condemnation, the Landlord shall have no liability to
the Tenant on account of any (a) interruption of the Tenant's business upon the
Premises, (b) diminution in the Tenant's business upon the Premises, (c)
diminution in the Tenant's ability to use the Premises, or (d) other injury or
damage sustained by the Tenant as a result of such Condemnation.
12.4. Except for any separate proceedings brought by the Tenant under the
provisions of paragraph 12.1.3, the Landlord shall be entitled to conduct any
such condemnation proceeding and any settlement thereof free of interference
form the Tenant, and the Tenant hereby waives any right which it might otherwise
have to participate therein.

Section 13. Mechanic's and Materialman's Liens.
The Tenant shall:
13.1. bond, remove or have removed any mechanic's, materialman's or other
lien filed or claimed against any or all of the Premises, the Property, or any
other property owned or leased by the Landlord, by reason of labor or materials
provided for or at the request of the Tenant or any of its contractors or
subcontractors (other than labor or materials provided by the Landlord pursuant
to the provisions of Section 5,) or otherwise arising out of the Tenant's use or
occupancy of the Premises or any other portion of the Property, and
13.2. indemnify and hold harmless the Landlord against and from any and
all liability or expense (including, by way of example rather than of
limitation, that of reasonable attorney's fees) incurred by the Landlord on
account of any such lien or claim.
Section 14. Quiet Enjoyment; Surrender.
14.1. Quiet Enjoyment. The Landlord hereby covenants that the Tenant,
paying the Rent and performing the covenants set forth herein, shall peaceably
and quietly hold and enjoy, through the Term, (a) the Premises, and (b) such
rights as the Tenant may hold hereunder with respect to the remainder of the
Property.
14.2. Surrender.
14.2.1. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term,
the Tenant shall surrender the Premises to the Landlord in good order and repair
(damages reasonably beyond the Tenant's control and ordinary wear and tear
excepted), and broom clean; and
14.2.2. any and all improvements, repairs, alterations and all
other property attached to, used in connection with or otherwise installed upon
the Premises (a) shall immediately upon the completion of the installation
thereof, be and become the Landlord's property without payment therefore by the
Landlord, and (b) shall be surrendered to the landlord upon the expiration or
earlier termination of the Term, except that any machinery, equipment or
fixtures installed by the Tenant and used in the conduct of the Tenant's trade
or business (rather than to service the Premises or any of the remainder of the
Building or the Property generally) shall remain the Tenant's property and shall
be removed by the Tenant within five (5) days after the expiration or earlier
termination of the term, and the Tenant shall promptly thereafter fully restore
any of the Premises or the Building damaged by such installation or removal
thereof. All such machinery, equipment or fixtures installed by Tenant and all
furniture, inventory and effects on the Premises after the end of such five day
period will be deemed conclusively to have been abandoned and may be
appropriated, sold, stored, destroyed, or otherwise disposed of by the Landlord
without written notice to the Tenant or any other person and without obligation
to account for such property. The Tenant shall pay the Landlord for all
expenses incurred in connection with the storage or the removal of such
property, including, but not limited to the cost of repairing any damage to the
building or Premises caused by the removal of such property. The Landlord shall
not be responsible for the care or safekeeping of such property, and the Tenant
hereby waives any and all loss, destruction and/or damage or injury which may be
occassioned by any of the aforesaid acts. Lessor's obligation to observe and
perform this covenant will survive the expiration or other termination of the
Lease.
Section 15. Rules and Regulations.
The Landlord hereby reserves the right to prescribe, at its sole
discretion, reasonable rules and regulations (hereinafter referred to as the
"Rules and Regulations"), having uniform applicability to all tenants of the
Building and governing the use and enjoyment of the Building and the remainder
of the Property; provided, that the Rules and Regulations shall not materially
interfere with the Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Premises, in accordance
with the provisions of this Lease, for the purposes enumerated in the provisions
of Section 2. The Tenant shall adhere to the Rules and Regulations and shall
cause its agents, employees, invitees, visitors and guests to do so. A copy of
the Rules and Regulations in effect on the date hereof is attached hereto as
Exhibit B.
Section 16. Subordination; Attornment and Non-disturbance.
16.1. Subordination. This lease shall be subject and subordinate at all
times to the lien of any first mortgage, first deed of trust, ground lease
and/or other instrument of encumbrance heretofore or hereafter placed by the
Landlord upon any or all of the Premises or the remainder of the Property and of
all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions
therefor (each of which is herein referred to as a "Mortgage"), all
automatically and without the necessity of any further action on the part of the
Tenant to effectuate such subordination.
16.2. Attornment and Non-disturbance. The tenant shall, promptly and at
the request of the Landlord or the holder of any Mortgage (herein referred to as
a "Mortgagee"),
10
16.2.1. execute, acknowledge and deliver such further
instruments evidencing such subordination as the Landlord or such Mortgagee may
deem necessary or desirable, and
16.2.2. attorn to such Mortgagee, provided that such Mortgagee
agrees with the Tenant that such Mortgagee will, in the event of a foreclosure
of any such first mortgage or deed of trust (or termination of any such ground
lease) take no action to interfere with the Tenant's rights hereunder, except
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
16.3. Anything contained in the provisions of this Section to the contrary
notwithstanding, any Mortgagee may at any time subordinate the lien of its
Mortgage to the operation and effect of this Lease without the necessity of
obtaining the Tenant's consent thereto, by giving the Tenant written notice
thereof, in which event this Lease shall be deemed to be senior to such Mortgage
without regard to their respective dates of execution, delivery and/or
recordation among the land records of the said County, and thereafter such
Mortgagee shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as though this
Lease had been executed and recorded among the said land records before the
execution and delivery of such Mortgage.
Section 17. Estoppel Certificate.
The Tenant shall from time to time, within five (5) business days after
being requested to do so by the Landlord or any first Mortgagee, execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Landlord an instrument in recordable form:
17.1. certifying
17.1.1. that this Lease us unmodified and in full force and
effect (or, if there has been any modification thereof, that it is in full force
and effect as so modified, stating therein the nature of such modification);
17.1.2. as to the dates to which the Base Rent and any
Additional Rent and other charges arising hereunder have been paid in advance of
the dates on which payment thereof is due hereunder, if any;
17.1.3. as to the amount of any prepaid Rent or any credit due
to the Tenant hereunder;
17.1.4. that the Tenant has accepted possession of the
Premises, and the date on which the Term commenced;
17.1.5. as to whether, to the best knowledge, information and
belief of the signer of such certificate, the Landlord is then in default in the
performance of any of its obligations hereunder (and, if so, specifying the
nature of each such default); and
17.1.6. as to any other fact or condition reasonably requested
by the Landlord, any first Mortgagee or prospective first Mortgagee or purchaser
of any or all of the Premises, the Property or any interest therein, or any
assignee or prospective assignee of any interest of the Landlord under this
Lease; and
17.2. acknowledging and agreeing that any statement contained in any
such certificate may be relied upon by the Landlord and any such other person.
Section 18. Notices.
Any notice, demand, consent, approval, request or other communication or
document to be provided hereunder to a party hereto shall be
18.1. in writing, and
18.2. deemed to have been provided (a) forty-eight (48) hours after
being sent as certified or registered mail in the United States Mail, postage
prepaid, return receipt requested, to the address of such party set forth
hereinabove or to such other address in the United States of America as such
party may designate from time to time by notice to the other, or (b) (if such
party's receipt thereof is acknowledged in writing) given by hand or other
delivery to such party, or (c) by overnight carrier with tracking capability.
Section 19. General.
19.1. Effectiveness. This Lease shall become effective upon and only
upon the execution and delivery hereof by each party hereto.
19.2. Complete Understanding. This Lease represents the complete
understanding between the parties hereto as to the subject matter hereof, and
supersedes all prior negotiations, representations, warranties, statements or
agreements, either written or oral, between the parties hereto as to the same.
11
19.3. Amendment. This Lease may be amended by and only by an instrument
executed and delivered by each party hereto.
19.4. Applicable Law. This Lease shall be given effect and construed by
application of the law of Florida, and any action or proceeding arising
hereunder shall be brought in the courts of Florida; provided, that if any such
action or proceeding arises under the Constitution, laws or treaties of the
United States of America, or if there is a diversity of citizenship between the
parties thereto, so that it is to be brought in a United States District Court,
it shall be brought in the United States District Court for the Middle District
of Florida, Jacksonville Division.
19.5. Waiver. The Landlord shall not be deemed to have waived the
exercise of any right which it holds hereunder unless such waiver is made
expressly and in writing (and no delay or omission by the Landlord in exercising
any such right shall be deemed to be waiver of the further exercise thereof). No
such waiver made with respect to any instance involving the exercise of any such
right shall be deemed to be a waiver with respect to any other such instance, or
any other such right. The acceptance by the Landlord of a check, or other form
of payment, in an amount less than the Rent or other amount due under this Lease
for which such payment is made shall not constitute an accord and satisfaction
or a waiver by Landlord of its right to the balance of the Rent or other amount
due.
19.6. Time of Essence. Time shall be of the essence of this Lease.
19.7. Headings. The headings of the sections, subsections, paragraphs,
and subparagraphs hereof are provided herein for and only for convenience of
reference, and shall not be considered in construing the contents hereof.
19.8. Construction. As used herein,
19.8.1. the term "person" shall mean a natural person, a

feminine gender shall be deemed to have been made in all such genders, (b) in
the singular or plural number shall be deemed to have been made, respectively,
in the plural or singular number as well, and (c) to any section, subsection,
paragraph or subparagraph shall, unless therein expressly indicated to the

subparagraph of this Lease.
19.9. Exhibits. Each writing or plat referred to herein as being attached
here to as an exhibit or otherwise designated herein as an exhibit hereto is
hereby made a part hereof.
19.10. Severability. No determination by any court, governmental body or
otherwise that any provision of this Lease or any amendment hereof is invalid or
unenforceable in any instance shall affect the validity or enforceability of (a)
any other provision thereof, or (b) such provision in any circumstance not
controlled by such determination. Each such provision shall be valid and
enforceable to the fullest extent allowed by and shall be construed wherever
possible as being consistent with applicable law.
19.11. Definition of the "Landlord".
19.11.1. As used herein, the term "Landlord" shall mean the
entity hereinabove named as such, and its heirs, personal representatives,
successors and assigns (each of whom shall have the same rights, remedies,
powers, authorities and privileges as it would have had, had it originally
signed this Lease as the Landlord).
19.11.2. No person holding the Landlord's interest hereunder
(whether or not such person is named as the "Landlord" herein) shall have any
liability hereunder after such person ceases to hold such interest, except for
any such liability accruing while such person holds such interest.
19.11.3. Neither the Landlord nor any principal of the Landlord,
whether disclosed or undisclosed, shall have any personal liability under any
provision of this Lease. If the Landlord defaults in the performance of any of
its obligations hereunder or otherwise, the Tenant shall look solely to the
Landlord's equity, interest and rights in the Property for satisfaction of the
Tenant's remedies on account thereof.
19.12. Definition of the "Tenant". As used herein, the term the "Tenant"
shall mean each person hereinabove named as such and such person's heirs,
personal representatives, successors and assigns, each of whom shall have the
same obligations, liabilities, rights and privileges as it would have possessed
had it originally executed this Lease as the Tenant; provided that no such right
or privilege shall inure to the benefit of any assignee of the Tenant, immediate
or remote, unless the assignment to such assignee is made in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4. Whenever two or more persons constitute the Tenant, all
such persons shall be jointly and severally liable for the performance of the
Tenant's obligations hereunder.
12
19.13. Costs and Expenses. In the event of any litigation in connection
with this Lease the prevailing party shall be reimbursed by the other party for
all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith including
reasonable attorney's fees on trial or appeal.

under this Lease for consequential damages or special damages, including without
limitation damages arising in connection with the interruption of Tenant's
business.
19.15. Summary Proceedings. If the Landlord commences any summary
proceeding for nonpayment of Rent, the Tenant shall not interpose (and hereby
waives the right to interpose) any counterclaim in any such proceeding.
Section 20. Relocation.
Landlord shall be entitled to cause Tenant to relocate from the Premises to
a comparable space ("Relocation Space") within the project of which the building
is a part at any time during the least term with a minimum of sixty (60) days
written notice to Tenant. Any such relocation shall be entirely at the expense
of the Landlord, and the Relocation Space shall be constructed in the same or
reasonably the same appearance as the Premises. Such a relocation shall not
terminate or otherwise effect or modify this Lease, except that from and after
the date of such relocation, "Premises" shall refer to the Relocation Space into
which Tenant has been moved, rather than the original Premises as herein
defined.
Section 21. Hazardous Waste.
Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall comply with (i) all federal,
state and municipal laws, ordinances, notices, orders, rules, regulations and
requirements, (ii) any requirements of the National Board of Fire Underwriters
or any other body exercising similar functions and (iii) the requirements of all
public liability, fire and other policies of insurance covering the Premises or
the Building, relating to the treatment, production, storage, handling,
transfer, processing, transporting, use, disposal and release of hazardous
substances, hazardous wastes, toxic or radioactive matter. In addition, Tenant
shall take similar precautions with any other material or substance which, even
if not regulated by law or requirements as aforesaid, may or could pose a hazard
to the health and safety of the current or future occupants of the Premises, or
the Building, or the owners or occupants of property adjacent to or in the
vicinity of the Premises or the Building. All of the above activities are
hereinafter referred to as "Restricted Activities." Tenant shall be solely
responsible for and shall defend, indemnify and hold Landlord, and its agents,
successors and assigns harmless from and against all claims, actions, damages,
liabilities and expenses (including without limitation, fees of attorneys,
investigators and experts) arising out of or in connection with the (1)
Restricted Activities by Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees, licensees
or invitees, and (2) the removal, cleanup and restoration work and materials
necessary to return the Premises, the Building and any other property of
whatever nature (including, but not limited to, property adjacent to or in the
vicinity of the Premises and the Building) to their condition existing prior to
the Restricted Activities. Tenant's obligations hereunder shall survive the
termination of this Lease. If at anytime during or after the term and any
extended term of this Lease, Tenant becomes aware of any inquiry, investigation,
administrative proceeding or judicial proceeding regarding the Restricted
Activities, Tenant shall within five (5) days after first learning of such
inquiry, investigation or proceeding give Landlord written notice providing all
available information regarding such inquiry, investigation, or proceeding.
Section 22. Radon.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has
accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to
persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal
and state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional
information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your county
public health unit. Landlord makes no representation or warranty with respect
to the presence or absence of radon in or about the Property other than that
Landlord has no actual knowledge or notice of radon emissions in or about the
Property which exceed the State of Florida or federal government safe standards.
Section 23. Parking.
Parking for the Building is provided by surface parking located around the
Building (the "Surface Parking") and a two level parking garage (the "Garage").
Tenant may use the Surface Parking and the second level of the Garage in common
with other tenants to whom similar rights are granted on a "first-come/first
served" basis. Tenant hereby acknowledges that the first level of the Garage is
reserved parking. The Surface Parking will be available to the Tenant on an
unreserved basis at a ratio of approximately two (2) spaces per 1,000 square
feet of the Premises' square footage. The second level of the Garage will be
available to Tenant on an unreserved basis at a ratio of approximately one (1)
space per 1,000 square feet of the Premises' square footage. Up to three (3)
spaces on the first level of the Garage will be available to Tenant on a
reserved basis at a charge of $30.00 per month, plus sales tax. Parking rent
shall increase five percent (5%) per year of the Term.
13
Section 24. Security.
Notwithstanding the presence or availability of any security personnel in
the Building, Tenant acknowledges that it is solely responsible for maintaining
the security of the Premises and providing any security services for its
employees, agents, contractors and invitees deemed necessary or advisable by
Tenant, Landlord having no obligation to provide any such security services.
Accordingly, Landlord will have no liability for any injury, damage, theft or
other loss to persons or property suffered by Tenant or its employees, agents,
contractors or invitees as a result of any tortious or criminal act of any third
party in or about the Premises or the Building, except as a result of Landlord's
willful misconduct.
Section 25. Exhibits.
The following exhibits are attached hereto and incorporated herein and made
a part of this Lease for all purposes:
Exhibit Name
"A" Floor Plan of Premises & Improvements
"B" Rules and Regulations
Section 26. Agency Disclosure (required by Florida Statutes).
Property Services, Inc., as agent for the Landlord will be paid by the
Landlord a fee for professional services rendered. Because of this fiduciary
relationship, Property Services, Inc. represents the Landlord, but also has the
moral and ethical obligation to treat the Tenant with honesty, integrity and
fairness. The Tenant acknowledges that this disclosure was made prior to the
execution of any contract or Lease Agreement, in compliance with
SS475.25(1)(q), Florida Statutes, and Rules 21V-10.033, Florida Administrative
Code.
Section 27. Commission
The Tenant represents that it has not dealt with any real estate broker or
salesman in connection with this Lease except Property Services, Inc.
("Broker"), whose commission shall be paid by Landlord. The Tenant has dealt
with no other person which would create any liability for the payment of a
commission by the Landlord, and if any other person claims a commission, Tenant
shall indemnify and hold the Landlord harmless from liability therefore,
including without limitation, the costs of defense of such claim and the fees
and costs of the Landlord's attorney.
Section 28. Option to Cancel
Provided the Tenant is not in default of any terms or conditions of this
Lease, Tenant may, at its option, cancel this Lease at the end of any monthly
period (the "Cancellation Date") on or after March 31, 2002, by providing
Landlord written notice at least ninety (90) days prior to Cancellation Date. In
such event, Tenant shall, at the time of notice, pay to the Landlord a
cancellation fee equal to $406.00 times the number of remaining months of the
term. For example, if Tenant cancels at the end of the 12th month, and cancels
its Lease in the manner specified above, Tenant shall pay to the Landlord at the
time of the cancellation notice a cancellation fee of $9,744.00 (24 months x
$406.00 = $9,744.00).
Section 29. Supplemental Air Conditioning
It is understood and agreed to that the Tenant's IT/Telco room shall be
equipped with a supplemental HVAC system (the "HVAC Unit") approved by Tenant
and Landlord and installed at Tenant's expense. The HVAC unit may be operated 24
hours per day, 7 days per week as required by Tenant from time-to-time. A
sub-meter shall be installed to measure the HVAC unit's electric consumption
and Tenant shall be invoiced on a monthly or periodic basis at the then
prevailing per kWh charge of the Jacksonville Electric Authority (plus any
applicable tax and fees) and Tenant shall make payment to Landlord within
fifteen (15) days thereafter. In addition, Tenant shall be responsible to
maintain, service and repair the HVAC Unit at its sole expense and shall keep a
service contract throughout the Term with a licensed HVAC contractor. Upon
completion of installation and acceptance by Tenant of the HVAC unit and
electric and data outlets for the IT/Telco room, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord
for the costs of such work not to exceed $8,330.00.
