SECTION 3
RENT
3.1 Components of Rent. Tenant agrees to pay the following amounts
------------------
set forth in subsections (a) and (b) below to Landlord at the office of Landlord
as set forth in Section 26 of this Lease or at such other place as Landlord
designates from time to time:
(a)(i) Annual base rent ("Base Rent") shall be paid monthly in equal
installments in advance on or before the first day of each month of the Term,
without demand.
(ii) The parties agree that the Base Rent shall be the following. For
purposes hereof, Year 1 shall commence on the Rent Commencement Date:
Year 1: $1,814,330.00
Years 2&3: $1,988,454.00
Years 4&5: $2,067,992.00
Years 6&7: $2,150,712.00
Years 8&9: $2,236,740.00
Year 10: $2,326,210.00
(b) Adjustment rent ("Adjustment Rent") in an amount equal to the
Expenses for any calendar year. Prior to the Rent Commencement Date, and for
each calendar year thereafter, prior to such calendar year, or as soon as
reasonably possible, Landlord shall estimate and notify Tenant of the amount of
Adjustment Rent due for such year, and Tenant shall pay Landlord one-twelfth of
such estimate on the first day of each month during such year. Such estimate may
be revised by Landlord whenever it obtains information relevant to making such
estimate more accurate but not more than twice in any calendar year. After the
end of each calendar year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a report setting
forth the actual Expenses and Taxes for such calendar year and a statement of
the amount of Adjustment Rent that Tenant has paid and is payable for such year
(the "Expense Reconciliation Report"). Landlord shall cause the Expense
Reconciliation Report to be delivered to Tenant within ninety (90) days after
the end of the applicable calendar year. Within thirty (30) days after receipt
of such report, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of Adjustment Rent due
for such calendar year minus any payments of Adjustment Rent made by Tenant for
such year (an "Expense Deficiency Payment"). In the event that Landlord fails to
deliver an Expense Reconciliation Report within the calendar year following the
year for which the Expense Reconciliation Report is to be given, Landlord shall
thereafter be precluded from recovering any Expense Deficiency Payment from
Tenant for the subject year. If Tenant's estimated payments of Adjustment Rent
exceed the amount due Landlord for such calendar year and Tenant requests the
Expense Reconciliation Report within ninety (90) days after the expiration of
the calendar year following the year for which such Report is to be given,
Landlord shall apply such excess as a credit against Tenant's other
6
obligations under this Lease or promptly refund such excess to Tenant if the
Term has already expired.
3.2 Commencement of Tenant's Obligation to Pay Rent. Tenant's
-----------------------------------------------
obligation to pay Base Rent and Adjustment Rent hereunder with respect to the
Premises shall commence on the Rent Commencement Date.
3.3 Payment of Rent. The following provisions shall govern the
---------------
payment of Rent: (a) if this Lease commences or ends on a day other than the
first day or last day of a calendar year or calendar month, respectively, Rent
for the year or month in which this Lease so begins or ends shall be prorated
and the monthly installments shall be adjusted accordingly; (b) all Rent shall
be paid to Landlord without offset, abatement, counterclaim or deduction, except
as provided for in this Lease, and the covenant to pay Rent shall be independent
of every other covenant in this Lease; (c) any sum due from Tenant to Landlord
which is not paid when due shall bear interest from the date due until the date
paid at the annual rate of four percentage (4%) points, annualized, above the
rate then most recently announced by Bank of America as its prime rate, from
time to time in effect, but in no event higher than the maximum rate permitted
by law (the "Default Rate"); and, in addition, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late
charge equal to five percent (5%) of such payment for any Rent payment which is
paid more than five (5) days after notice thereof from Landlord that such
payment is overdue (a "Late Charge Notice") (provided, however, that such notice
requirement is hereby waived by Tenant from and after such time as (i) a
Bankruptcy Event shall have occurred with respect to Tenant or any other event
shall have occurred which prohibits or restricts Landlord's right to send a Late
Charge Notice to Tenant or (ii) Landlord shall have previously sent two (2) or
more Late Charge Notices to Tenant at any time during the Term of this Lease,
whereupon such late charge shall be automatically due if a Rent payment is paid
more than five (5) days after its due date); (d) [intentionally deleted]; (e)
Tenant shall have the right to inspect and/or audit Landlord's accounting
records relative to Expenses during normal business hours at any time within one
(1) year following the furnishing to Tenant of the annual Expense Reconciliation
Report; and, unless Tenant shall take written exception to any item in any such
report within such one (1) year period, such report shall be considered as final
and accepted by Tenant; (f) in the event that Tenant shall, pursuant to an
inspection or audit performed under the foregoing clause (e), discover any error
in Landlord's accounting records relative to Expenses and Taxes which resulted
in an overpayment of Adjustment Rent by Tenant, Tenant shall be entitled to a
credit against the next payment(s) of Rent becoming due hereunder in the amount
of such overcharge to Tenant and, if the amount of such overcharge exceeds three
percent (3%) of the total amount of Adjustment Rent paid by Tenant for the
applicable period to which such overcharge relates, Tenant shall be entitled to
reimbursement from Landlord for the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by
Tenant in connection with such inspection or audit (or, if such audit is
performed directly by Tenant, the reasonable and customary costs and expenses
otherwise chargeable by Tenant in connection therewith if such audit had been
performed for a third party), which amount shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant
within fifteen (15) days after notice thereof to Landlord and delivery to
Landlord of invoices or other reasonable documentation verifying the amount of
such
7
reimbursement, provided, however, that such amount shall not exceed five
thousand dollars ($5,000) during any calendar year; (g) in the event of the
termination of this Lease prior to the determination of any Adjustment Rent,
Tenant's agreement to pay any such sums and Landlord's obligation to refund any
such sums (provided Tenant is not in default hereunder) shall survive the
termination of this Lease; (h) Landlord may at any time change the fiscal year
of the Building; (i) each amount owed to Landlord under this Lease for which the
date of payment is not expressly fixed shall be due on the same date as the Rent
listed on the statement showing such amount is due; and (j) if Landlord fails to
give Tenant an estimate of Adjustment Rent prior to the beginning of any
calendar year, Tenant shall continue to pay Adjustment Rent at the rate for the
previous calendar year until Landlord delivers such estimate, at which time
Tenant shall pay retroactively the increased amount for all previous months of
such calendar year.
3.4 Payment of Taxes. Tenant shall be responsible for the timely
----------------
payment of all Taxes accruing on the Premises on and after the Rent Commencement
Date. Tenant shall provide Landlord evidence of the payment of Taxes by February
15 of each year, subject to adjustment where the delinquency date is changed by
applicable governmental authority, within fifteen (15) days prior to the date
they become delinquent. If Tenant fails to pay Taxes when required hereunder,
Landlord may pay them on Tenant's behalf and charge Tenant interest at the
Default Rate until repaid, unless such failure resulted from Landlord's delay in
delivering the tax xxxx(s) to Tenant.
(a) Any Taxes relating to a fiscal period of any taxing authority
falling partially within and partially outside the Term of this Lease, shall be
apportioned and adjusted between the Landlord and the Tenant.
(b) With the Landlord's consent and cooperation, the Tenant may defer
payment of a Tax so long as the validity or the amount thereof is contested by
the Tenant with diligence and in good faith. Provided, however, that the Tenant
shall furnish to the Landlord a bond in an amount and on terms satisfactory to
the Landlord and shall pay the Tax in sufficient time to prevent delivery of a
tax deed, or immediately if a foreclosure action is filed. Such contest shall be
at the Tenant's sole cost and expense. The Tenant covenants to indemnify and
save harmless the Landlord from any costs or expenses incurred by the Landlord
as a result of such contest.
3.5 Capital Reserve Account. (a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, for each
-----------------------
calendar year following the Rent Commencement Date during the Term but not
during any Renewal Term hereunder, thirty nine thousand four hundred and twenty
six dollars ($39,426) (the "Reserve Contribution"). Tenant shall pay an
additional twenty-five cents ($.25) for each square foot of 24 Hour Area (as
defined below) beyond those shown on Exhibit C hereto. Tenant shall pay
---------
one-twelfth of the Reserve Contribution on the first day of each month during
such year. In no event shall Tenant be obligated to pay more than the Reserve
Contribution set forth above.
8
(b) Landlord shall use the Reserve Contribution funds and any interest
earned thereon and maintain a segregated capital reserve account ("Capital
Reserve") to pay the cost of any item which under generally accepted accounting
principles is a capital expense, including lease payments for rental equipment
which would constitute a capital expense if purchased rather than leased, and
which relates to the maintenance, repair or replacement of the Building
structure, the Building's roof or the Building Systems. The Capital Reserve
funds may not be used for any costs incurred at the request of Tenant where the
item requested is not a Landlord obligation under this Lease. Subject to the
foregoing, Landlord may draw on the Capital Reserve at its sole discretion,
provided Landlord notifies Tenant within five (5) business days of any such
draw. If Landlord's Capital Reserve expenditures exceed in any Lease Year the
Tenant's Reserve Contribution for such year, Landlord may use funds in the
Capital Reserve to reimburse itself for Capital Reserve deficiencies in prior
years or accumulate such funds in subsequent years to pay costs permitted under
this Section 3.5. Landlord shall furnish to Tenant an annual statement
accounting for the funds in the Capital Reserve and any contributions or
expenditures related thereto. Upon the termination or expiration of this Lease
and provided Landlord is not in default hereunder, Landlord shall be entitled to
all outstanding amounts in the Capital Reserve as of the date of such
termination or expiration. If such termination results from Landlord's default,
Tenant shall be entitled to all outstanding amounts in the Capital Reserve.
SECTION 4
COMPLETION OF THE PREMISES
4.1 Condition of the Premises Upon Delivery to Tenant. Landlord, at
-------------------------------------------------
Landlord's sole cost and expense, shall cause Landlord's Work to be
substantially complete on or before October 1, 1999 (the "Target Completion
Date"). "Substantially complete" shall mean the improvements which make up
Landlord's Work can be used for their intended purposes as evidenced by a
certificate of substantial completion provided by the project architect and a
certificate of occupancy has been issued for the Premises, except for minor
details of construction, decoration or adjustment, commonly referred to as
"Punch List Items," which do not interfere with Tenant's occupancy of the
Premises for its intended uses. The date Landlord's Work is substantially
complete is referred to as the "Substantial Completion Date;"; provided,
however, the Substantial Completion Date shall not occur prior to the closing of
Landlord's purchase of the Premises from Tenant. The certificate of occupancy
described above may be a temporary certificate of occupancy as defined in
Section 9(b) of the Workletter. Tenant's remedies for Landlord's failure to
achieve the Target Completion Date shall not arise to the extent the delay is
attributable to the fault of any Tenant Delays (as defined in the Workletter).
4.2 Possession. Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause
----------
the Building and Premises to be constructed and completed in accordance with the
Workletter and shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on a "turnkey"
basis by the Target Completion Date.
9
4.3 Milestone Dates. Landlord shall use its commercially reasonable best
---------------
efforts to attain Substantial Completion of the Premises by the Target
Completion Date. Landlord and Tenant agree that the following are "Milestones"
and the dates of such Milestones are referred to collectively as the "Milestone
Dates" or individually, a "Milestone Date":
(a) Landlord must give the Contractor "Notice to Proceed" with the
Landlord's Work within twenty four (24) hours of the parties' execution of this
Lease, and
(b) Landlord or the Contractor must substantially complete the erection
of exterior wall tiltup panels of the Building by the date which is 105 days
from the date of this Lease, and
(c) Landlord or the Contractor must substantially complete the roof of
the Building by the date which is 195 days from the date of this Lease, and
(d) Landlord or the Contractor must substantially complete the windows
of the Building by the date which is 270 days from the date of this Lease, and
(e) Landlord or the Contractor must attain Substantial Completion of the
Premises by the Target Completion Date.
4.4 Failure to Achieve Milestone. If Landlord has not completed a
----------------------------
Milestone by the Milestone Date, then Tenant shall give Landlord notice of
Landlord's failure to meet a Milestone Date. Upon Landlord's receipt of Tenant's
notice, Landlord shall have sixty (60) days (the "Milestone Review Period") to
demonstrate to Tenant that despite Landlord's failure to meet a Milestone Date,
Landlord shall be able to achieve Substantial Completion as defined in the
Workletter attached hereto by a date not later than one hundred twenty (120)
days after the Target Completion Date (the "Outside Date"). If Landlord
demonstrates during the Milestone Review Period through the signed affidavit of
a third party construction manager, or other reasonable means, that
notwithstanding past or current delays Landlord can achieve Substantial
Completion by the Outside Date, then the Lease shall remain in full force and
effect and Landlord and Tenant shall continue to work toward Substantial
Completion. If Landlord is unable to demonstrate to Tenant that Landlord can
achieve Substantial Completion by the Outside Date, Tenant may, within fifteen
(15) days after the expiration of the Milestone Review Period (the "Termination
Period") exercise the remedies set forth in Section 4.6 below.
Failure of Tenant to terminate the Lease during the Termination Period
or failure of Tenant to provide Tenant Improvement Plans (as defined in the
Workletter) by December 21, 1998, shall waive Tenant's right to exercise its
Section 4.6 remedies on account of Landlord's failure to fulfill the relevant
Milestone Date.
10
4.5 Other Defaults. In addition to the failure to achieve a Milestone
--------------
set forth in Section 4.4, the following events shall constitute defaults by
Landlord permitting Tenant to exercise the remedies set forth in Section 4.6:
(a) Landlord, despite having given the Contractor notice to proceed, has
not materially commenced construction within thirty (30) days from the execution
of this Lease;
(b) Landlord ceases construction for ninety (90) consecutive days after
the commencement of construction for causes other than force majeure causes
defined in Section 31.9 herein; or
(c) Landlord commits an event of default under the Superior Mortgage and
such default is not cured within the lesser of (i) the cure period set forth in
the Superior Mortgage and (ii) thirty (30) days.
4.6 Tenant Remedies. If an event occurs which entitles Tenant to the
---------------
remedies set forth in this Section, Tenant shall give Landlord a notice (the
"Termination Notice"). If, prior to delivery of the Termination Notice, Landlord
has not purchased the Premises in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the Ground Lease, delivery of the Termination Notice shall obligate Landlord to
purchase the Premises in accordance with Paragraph 33 of the Ground Lease.
Upon delivery of the Termination Notice, (i) Landlord shall purchase the
Premises, and (ii) Tenant may immediately register the stock of Landlord (the
"Shares") in Tenant's name, such Shares being pledged to Tenant hereunder and
under that certain Pledge Agreement executed in connection herewith. The Shares
shall be free and clear of any liens, encumbrances or other pledges for security
purposes other than the lien granted to Tenant as provided in Section 4.7 below.
By exercising its rights under this Section 4.6, (A) Tenant shall be bound by
any mortgages and other encumbrances on the Land, provided Tenant had previously
approved such mortgages or encumbrances in writing, and (B) Tenant shall have
released the Shareholders of Landlord (the "Shareholders") from any future
obligations arising out of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall remain liable
for all claims, damages or other liability of Landlord arising under this Lease
prior to the date of the Termination Notice. The Shareholders shall execute this
Agreement for the purpose of binding them with respect to the covenants
contained in Sections 4.6 and 4.7.
4.7 Security Interest in Shares. To secure their obligations hereunder,
---------------------------
the Shareholders, upon the execution of this Lease, hereby grant to Tenant a
first security interest in the Shares which shall be primary and not subordinate
to any other security interests therein. Tenant shall release such security
interest only upon the Substantial Completion of the Premises, the purchase of
the Premises in accordance with Paragraph 33 of the Ground Lease and the
delivery of the Premises to Tenant as set forth in Section 4 herein. The
Shareholders agree that
11
they shall not pledge, mortgage or otherwise transfer the Shares to any party
other than to Tenant until Tenant releases its security interest in the Shares.
Violation of this covenant shall be a default under this Lease for which Tenant
may immediately seek remedies without the giving of notice or an opportunity to
cure.
4.8 Failure to Complete by Target Completion Date. If Landlord fails
---------------------------------------------
for any reason other than a delay caused by Tenant to achieve Substantial
Completion of the Premises by the Target Completion Date, Landlord shall
reimburse Tenant, on a monthly basis, from the Target Completion Date until the
earlier of (a) the date of Substantial Completion or (b) the date of the
Termination Notice set forth in Section 4.6, for (i) the holdover rents Tenant
may be required to pay to Tenant's current landlord at Pen West Office Park in
Sarasota (the "Current Premises") (or a landlord of any substitute premises if
Tenant is required to leave the Current Premises), if such holdover rate for the
Current Premises or rental in any substitute premises exceeds the rents now
being paid in the Current Premises; provided, however, Landlord shall not be
obligated to reimburse Tenant for the first fifteen (15) days of holdover rent
and provided further that Landlord's liability shall not exceed One Hundred and
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) per month, (ii) the costs Tenant reasonably
incurs to move to any temporary substitute premises and all reasonable expenses
which are incurred by Tenant in connection with such move, and (iii) any other
costs Tenant reasonably incurs directly arising out of Landlord's failure to
achieve Substantial Completion by the Target Completion Date.
4.9 Ground Lease Termination. If the Ground Lease is terminated as a
------------------------
result of Landlord's default thereunder, this Lease shall terminate
automatically as of the termination of the Ground Lease.
4.10 Early Completion and Delivery. The Tenant Improvement Allowance
-----------------------------
shall be reduced by Seventeen Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($17,500) per week
for each "Accelerated Floor" delivered to Tenant, from the delivery of the floor
until the Target Completion Date. An "Accelerated Floor" shall mean each entire
floor in the Building that Landlord delivers to Tenant prior to the Target
Completion Date (i) in a condition whereby the improvements comprising
Landlord's Work on such floor can be used for their intended purposes (as
evidenced by a certificate of substantial completion delivered to Tenant by the
project architect) or (ii) in a condition whereby the Tenant's Work can be
commenced therein and where Tenant does, in fact, commence Tenant's Work on such
floor. Upon completion of Tenant's Work on a floor, Tenant may occupy such floor
for the uses allowed herein once a certificate of occupancy is obtained for such
floor. In no event shall the Tenant Improvement Allowance be reduced more than
One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) in the aggregate for early
delivery of the Building's floors. Landlord shall furnish Tenant with notice
that Landlord will deliver a certificate from its architect at least forty-eight
(48) hours prior to the delivery of the certificate.

or offset rights of Tenant explicitly provided for herein, if applicable),
Tenant's obligation hereunder to pay Rent in respect of the Premises shall
commence on the date which is thirty (30) days after the Substantial Completion
Date (the "Rent Commencement Date").
SECTION 6

6.1 Use of the Premises. Tenant agrees that it shall occupy and use the
-------------------
Premises for general office purposes and all uses customarily or incidentally

7.1 Tenant's Obligations. From and after the Substantial Completion
--------------------
Date, Tenant shall comply with all federal, state and municipal laws, ordinances
and regulations and all covenants, conditions and restrictions of record
applicable to Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises. Without limiting the
foregoing, Tenant shall not cause, nor permit, any Hazardous Substances to be
brought upon, produced, stored, used, discharged or disposed of in, on or about
the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord (other than the
storage and/or use of such Hazardous Substances in de minimis amounts which may
be present in standard office supplies used in the normal course of Tenant's
business) and then, in any such case, only in compliance with all applicable
Environmental Laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant
shall not use, occupy or permit the Premises or any part thereof to be used in
any manner, or permit anything to be brought into or kept therein, which would
(a) violate the provisions of any Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage, (b)
interfere with or impair the Building Systems and equipment or the proper
cleaning, rubbish removal, heating, ventilating, air conditioning or other
services of the Building or the Premises, or (c) violate any Legal Requirement.
7.2 Permits. If any governmental license or permit, other than a
-------
Certificate of Occupancy shall be required for the proper and lawful occupancy
of the Premises and if failure to secure such license or permit would in any way
adversely affect Landlord or the Premises, then Tenant, at its sole expense,
shall procure and deliver a copy of such license or permit to Landlord
13
and thereafter maintain such license or permit. Tenant shall at all times comply
with the provisions of each such license and permit.
7.3 Landlord's Obligations. During the Term, Landlord shall, at its sole
----------------------
cost and expense, comply with all Legal Requirements (including, without
limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act ("ADA")) that may require
structural or nonstructural modifications to be performed to the Premises,
including, but not limited to, modifications to air quality or power generation
in the Building; provided, however, that Tenant shall, at its sole cost and
expense, be responsible for compliance with all Legal Requirements in completing
the Tenant's Work (as defined in the Workletter) or where such Legal
Requirements specifically apply solely by reason of the Tenant's particular use
of the Premises or the installation by Tenant of any alterations to the
Premises. Landlord hereby represents and warrants that, as of the Substantial
Completion Date, the Premises shall fully comply with all existing Legal
Requirements.
7.4 Environmental Laws. Landlord represents and warrants that, to the
------------------
best of its knowledge solely based on the Report of Regulatory Review dated
December 1996, Report of Phase I Environmental Site Assessment dated December
1996 and Report of Limited Phase II Environmental Site Assessment dated February
1997, prepared by Law Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc. (the
"Reports"), and the representations and warranties of Tenant contained in that
certain Ground Lease between Tenant and Landlord dated the date hereof, the
Premises have not been used for the production, release or disposal of hazardous
or toxic wastes or materials as defined by any federal, state or local law,
ordinances or regulation relating to environmental conditions, including but not
limited to, soil and groundwater conditions, and that Landlord has not
generated, stored, handled or otherwise dealt with a hazardous or toxic waste,
substance or material. Tenant acknowledges that it is aware of the environmental
status, as described in the Reports, of the property being sold by Tenant to
Landlord pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Ground Lease discussed
immediately above, as well as the issues, to the extent described in the
Reports, regarding the Loral property. Landlord shall at its sole cost and
expense comply, and take all necessary actions to cause the Premises to comply,
with all applicable federal, state and local requirements relating to the
protection of public health, safety and welfare, and with all applicable
Environmental Laws relating to the Premises. Landlord is responsible for, and
agrees to hold harmless, indemnify and defend Tenant from any and all claims,
costs and liabilities related to the presence of toxic or hazardous substances
in or on the Premises or the Building caused by Landlord. Tenant shall comply,
and take all necessary actions to cause its operations on the Premises to
comply, with all applicable federal, state and local requirements relating to
the protection of public health, safety and welfare, and with all applicable
Environmental Laws relating to the Premises, and shall indemnify Landlord from
any and all costs, claims and liabilities related to the presence of toxic or
hazardous substances in or on the Premises or Building caused by Tenant, except
as may be provided in the Ground Lease.

SECTION 8
CONDITION OF PREMISES
8.1 Satisfactory Condition. Tenant's acceptance of the Premises on the
----------------------
Substantial Completion Date shall be conclusive evidence that the Premises were
in good order and satisfactory condition when Tenant took possession, subject to
Punch List Items for Landlord's Work not yet completed and latent defects not
discoverable from a visual inspection.
SECTION 9
BUILDING SERVICES
9.1 Basic Services. (a) Landlord shall furnish the following services:
--------------
(i) heating, ventilating and air conditioning to provide a temperature condition
and humidity control required for comfortable occupancy of the Building as
follows:
The external design conditions will be based on ASHRAE recommendations for
Sarasota, Florida: 92F dry bulb and 77F wet bulb for summer; 43F dry bulb
for winter. The interior design conditions will be based on 75F dry bulb
and 50% relative humidity for cooling operation and 70F for heating
operation. (Relative humidity is not controlled). Office average loads will
be based on: 2.0 xxxxx/SF for lighting; 6.0 xxxxx/SF for power; 90
SF/person of net office space at 250 Btuh sensible and 200Btuh latent per
person, 20 cfm of outside air per person. Office envelope elements: R20
roof insulation with light color membrane; R13 wall insulation with a
medium color finish. Glass at the exterior wall will have a minimum shading
coefficient of 0.17, except doors;
(ii) water for drinking, and water for any private restrooms or office kitchen
requested by Tenant; and (iii) passenger elevator service (in common with
Landlord and other tenants of the Building, if any), twenty-four (24) hours a
day, seven (7) days a week. Landlord shall allow Tenant access to the Premises
twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week.
(b) In the event that Landlord fails to perform as required under
Subsection 9.1(a) hereof, Landlord shall have fifteen (15) days after notice
from Tenant to commence performing such obligations. If Landlord shall fail to
commence to perform such obligations within such fifteen (15) day period, Tenant
may, upon notice to Landlord, perform such obligations of Landlord. In the event
Tenant performs such obligations, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Tenant's
reasonable costs thereof ("Tenant's Maintenance Costs") within thirty (30) days
after Tenant delivers to Landlord invoices for Tenant's Maintenance Costs or
such other supporting documentation as may be reasonably requested by Landlord.
In the event Landlord fails to so reimburse Tenant, Tenant may set off the
amount of unreimbursed Tenant's Maintenance Costs and interest thereon at the
Default Rate from the next due payment(s) of Rent becoming due hereunder;
provided, however, no offset amount may exceed fifteen percent (15%)
15
of the total Rent due Landlord in any single month. If, because of the foregoing
limit, Tenant cannot offset the entire amount of such judgment plus the interest
thereon prior to the expiration of the Term, the fifteen percent (15%) cap shall
not apply and Tenant shall deduct monthly from Rent an amount which shall
amortize the judgment and interest accruing thereon over the balance of the
Term.
9.2 Electricity. The Building shall be separately metered for electrical
-----------
use. Electricity shall be provided by the electric utility company serving the
Building; and Landlord shall permit Landlord's wire and conduits, to the extent
available, suitable and safely capable, to be used for such distribution. Any
additional feeders, risers or other equipment necessary to supply Tenant's
electrical requirements, upon written request of Tenant, will be installed by
Landlord, as part of Landlord's Work, at the sole expense of Tenant. Tenant
covenants and agrees that at all times its connected load shall never exceed the
capacity of the then existing risers or wiring installations allocable to the
Premises. In no event shall Tenant install any fixtures, equipment or machines
the use of which, if used in addition to facilities existing at the time of such
installation, would result in an overload of the electrical circuits servicing
the Building. All electricity used during the performance of janitor service, or
the making of any alterations or repairs in the Building or the operation of any
special air conditioning systems serving the Premises shall be billed to and
paid for by Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
Section 9.2 or elsewhere in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge
that legislative/regulatory changes have been proposed and may be enacted or
promulgated during the Term which will affect the utility industry and may
provide Landlord and Tenant with opportunities to reduce charges for electric
service through direct access to sources of power other than the current
electric utility. In the event Tenant desires to purchase power directly from
these alternative sources during the Term, Tenant shall have the right and
option to do so, and Landlord will use reasonable efforts to assist Tenant in
connection therewith, provided that such direct purchase shall not result in
capital costs to be incurred by Landlord. In general, Tenant shall pay for any
electricity, gas, water, sewer, heat, cable service or other utility or
telecommunication service used in the Premises.
9.3 Telecommunications. Tenant shall arrange for telecommunications service
------------------
directly with one or more of the companies providing such services and shall be
solely responsible for paying for such service. In no event does Landlord make
any representation or warranty with respect to telecommunications service in the
Building, and Landlord shall have no liability with respect thereto. Landlord
shall not charge any fees to any telecommunications services company chosen by
Tenant for access to or service in the Building.
9.4 Additional Services. Landlord shall not be obligated to furnish any
-------------------
services other than those stated above. If Landlord elects to furnish services
requested by Tenant in addition to those stated above (including services at
times other than those stated above), Tenant shall pay one hundred percent
(100%) of Landlord's actual cost to furnish such services. If Tenant shall fail
to make any such payment, Landlord may, without notice to Tenant and in addition
to all other remedies available to Landlord, discontinue any additional
services. No
16
discontinuation of any such additional service shall result in any liability of
Landlord to Tenant or be considered as an eviction or a disturbance of Tenant's
use of the Premises.
9.5 Tenant Approval Rights. With respect to all maintenance contracts to be
----------------------
entered into by Landlord for the Premises, Landlord shall obtain three (3) bids,
unless waived in writing by Tenant, for each such contract from contractors or
assembly approved by Tenant and shall select the service provider who, in the
opinion of the Manager, best combines the highest level of service with the
lowest price.
9.6 Failure or Delay in Furnishing Services.
---------------------------------------
(a) Landlord reserves the right to interrupt, reduce, curtail or suspend
the services furnished by Landlord when necessity therefor arises by reason of
required maintenance, accident, labor dispute, riot, insurrection, emergency,
mechanical breakdown, acts of God, or when required by any Legal Requirement, or
for any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. In non-emergency
situations, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with twenty-four (24) hour prior
notice of any reduction in services. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be
liable for damages for failure or delay in furnishing any service stated above
if such failure or delay is caused, in whole or in part, by any one or more of
the events stated in the foregoing sentence or other force majeure event
described in subsection 31.9 below, nor shall any such failure or delay be
considered to be an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use of the Premises, or
relieve Tenant from its obligation to pay any Rent when due or from any other
obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions contained in Subsection (a) above, or
elsewhere in this Lease, in the event that Building services are interrupted
rendering all or any portion of the Building untenantable and Tenant actually
ceases operations of its business in the affected portion of the Building as a
result thereof, then (i) if such condition continues for a period of more than
five (5) consecutive business days, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of
Rent until the earlier of the date on which (x) such services are restored in a
manner fit for Tenant's use of the Premises, and (ii) if such services are
interrupted for more than ninety (90) days for the entire Building, Tenant shall
have the absolute right to terminate this Lease, unless such interruption is the
result of casualty, in which case Section 15.2 below shall control.
9.7 Tenant's Services. Tenant shall contract and be responsible for all
-----------------
janitorial, window washing and landscaping services provided for the Premises.
Tenant shall also contact and be responsible for the security system and
security staff for the Building. Tenant may, at its discretion, install a guard
booth, security gates, landscape barriers or other security devices, the design
of which shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable approval. Any failure of
these services shall not apply to Section 9.6 above, it being expressly
recognized that Landlord shall have no liability in connection with services for
which Tenant is solely responsible.
17
9.8 Parking. Tenant shall have the right to designate parking spaces in
-------
any parking facilities serving the Building for special use vehicles, Tenant
guests or other organizational needs at Tenant's discretion.
SECTION 10
CERTAIN RIGHTS RESERVED TO LANDLORD
10.1 Landlord Rights. Landlord reserves the following rights: (a) to make
---------------
repairs, decorations, alterations, additions, or improvements, whether
structural or otherwise, in and about the Premises, and for such purposes to
enter upon the Premises, temporarily close doors, corridors and other areas in
the Building provided reasonable access to the Building is maintained; (b) to
retain at all times, and to use in appropriate instances, keys to all doors
within and into the Premises; and (c) to show or inspect the Premises at
reasonable times, provided Landlord, its agents or representatives shall provide

instance prior to its entry upon the Premises, except in cases of emergency. In
cases of emergency, Landlord shall use its best efforts to notify Tenant prior
to entering upon the Premises. Tenant shall have the right to accompany
Landlord, its agents or representatives upon any such entry upon the Premises.
Landlord's right to enter shall include the right to show the Premises to
prospective tenants in the last year of the Lease, and, if vacated or abandoned,
to prepare the Premises for reoccupancy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and
subject to the other provisions of this Lease, Landlord in connection with any
action taken pursuant to this Subsection 10.1, shall not materially interfere
with Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Premises. All Landlord employees or
agents entering into the Premises, except in an emergency, shall conduct
themselves in accordance with any of Tenant's rules of conduct, provided
Landlord has been given notice of such rules, and Tenant's security system.
SECTION 11
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
11.1 Tenant. Tenant, at its expense, shall maintain and keep the interior
------
of the Building in good order and repair at all times during the Term following
the Substantial Completion Date and perform the Tenant services set out in
Section 9.7. In the event of a default by Tenant of its obligations under the
foregoing sentence, Landlord shall, at Landlord's option, perform any
maintenance or make any repairs to the Building as Landlord shall deem necessary
or desirable. Landlord shall also (a) perform any maintenance or make any
repairs to the portions of the Premises other than the Building as Landlord
shall desire for the safety, operation or preservation of the Premises, and (b)
perform any maintenance or make any repairs to the Premises as Landlord (x)
shall deem necessary for the safety, operation or preservation of the Premises
or (y) may be required or requested to do by the County of Sarasota or by the
order or decree of any court or by any other proper authority. Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for any such maintenance or repairs of the Premises pursuant
to this Section 11.1. All repairs,
18
restorations and replacements performed by Tenant or at Tenant's direction shall
be in conformity with the provisions of this Lease and shall be of a quality and
class at least equal to the original work or installations or, if higher, the
then standards for the Premises established by Landlord and, in either case,
shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner. If Tenant, after written notice
from Landlord, fails to meet its obligations under this subsection, Landlord may
complete such obligations in a manner consistent with a first-class office
building in metropolitan Sarasota and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the
cost of completing same upon receipt of an invoice from Landlord for the work or
repairs, plus interest from the date of payment by Landlord until payment by
Tenant, at the Default Rate.
11.2 Landlord. Landlord shall maintain and repair the Building's exterior
--------
walls, the public areas of the Premises including parking lots and parking lot
lighting, the Building's structure, foundation and roof, the Building's systems,

mechanical systems, in a manner required to keep the Building and Premises in
accordance with all federal, state and local requirements and shall make all
necessary maintenance and structural repairs to the Building to keep the
Building in the condition of a first-class office building in the metropolitan
area of Sarasota, normal wear and tear excepted. If Landlord, after written
notice from Tenant, fails to meet its obligations under this subsection, Tenant
may complete such obligations as provided for in Section 9.1(b) above.
SECTION 12
ALTERATIONS
12.1 Requirements. (a) Tenant shall not make any replacement, alteration,
------------
improvement or addition to or removal from the Premises (collectively an
"alteration") without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Landlord shall respond to Tenant's
requests for approval for alterations from time to time within a reasonable
period of time (taking into consideration, among other factors, the complexity
and scale of the proposed alterations) and, if Landlord withholds consent to any
proposed alterations, Landlord shall provide a written response to Tenant
setting forth the reasons therefor. Notwithstanding anything contained to the
contrary herein, Tenant shall, without Landlord's consent, have the right to
make improvements or minor decorations within the Premises, employing
contractors selected by Tenant, provided such improvements or decorations are in
keeping with the standards of Tenant's existing Premises and do not affect the
structure of the Building or any Building systems for which Landlord has
maintenance responsibility. In the event Tenant proposes to make any alteration
requiring Landlord's consent hereunder, Tenant shall, prior to commencing such
alteration, submit to Landlord for prior written consent: (i) detailed plans and
specifications; (ii) the names, addresses and copies of contracts for all
contractors; (iii) all necessary permits evidencing compliance with all
applicable governmental rules, regulations and requirements; (iv) certificates
of insurance in form and amounts reasonably required by Landlord (including,
without limitation, workers' compensation
19
insurance and additional personal injury and property damage insurance over and
above the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to Subsection 13.1
hereof) naming Landlord, its managing agent, and any other parties designated by
Landlord as additional insureds; and (v) all other documents and information as
Landlord may reasonably request in connection with such alteration.
(b) Neither approval of the plans and specifications nor supervision
of the alteration by Landlord shall constitute a representation or warranty by
Landlord as to the accuracy, adequacy, sufficiency or propriety of such plans
and specifications or the quality of workmanship or the compliance of such
alteration with applicable law. Landlord may, as a condition of its approval,
require Tenant to remove any non-standard office fixtures or equipment at the
expiration of the Term. Tenant shall repair, at its sole cost and expense, any
damage caused by the removal of such non-standard office fixtures or equipment.
The provisions of subsection (e) below shall apply to all non-standard office
fixtures and equipment.
(c) Tenant shall pay the entire cost of the alteration.
(d) Each alteration shall be performed in a good and workmanlike
manner, in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord,
and shall meet or exceed the standards for construction and quality of materials
established by Landlord for the Building. In addition, each alteration shall be
performed in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and shall be
performed at such times and in such manner as Landlord may from time to time
reasonably direct. Each alteration shall be compatible with Building systems.
(e) Each alteration, whether temporary or permanent in character,
made by Landlord or Tenant in or upon the Premises (excepting only Tenant's
furniture, equipment and trade fixtures) shall become Landlord's property and
shall remain upon the Premises at the expiration or termination of this Lease
without compensation to Tenant. If Tenant installs any alteration without
Landlord's consent, or if a permitted condition of such consent was removal,
Landlord may, without waiving any other rights or remedies hereunder against
Tenant for such breach of the lease, also designate the removal of such
alterations at Tenant's expense.
(f) Upon completion of the work, other than decorations, Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord two complete sets of construction documents and plans (one
set being printed on Mylar) and all certificates indicating final approval
thereof from all governmental and insurance authorities having or asserting
jurisdiction from which approvals may be required.
12.2 Selection of Contractors and Subcontractors. Tenant's selection
-------------------------------------------
of a general contractor and any subcontractors to construct any alterations and
any replacement thereof from time to time, shall be subject to the reasonable
consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.
20
12.3 Liens. Upon completion of any alteration, Tenant shall promptly
-----
furnish Landlord with sworn owner's and contractors' statements and full and
final waivers of lien covering all labor and materials included in such
alteration if requested by Landlord. Tenant shall not permit any mechanic's lien
to be filed against the Premises, or any part thereof, arising out of any
alteration performed, or alleged to have been performed, by or on behalf of
Tenant. If any such lien is filed, Tenant shall within thirty (30) days
thereafter have such lien released of record or deliver to Landlord a bond in
form, amount, and issued by a surety satisfactory to Landlord, indemnifying
Landlord against all costs and liabilities including interest at the Default
Rate resulting from such lien and the foreclosure or attempted foreclosure
thereof. If Tenant fails to have such lien so released or to deliver such bond
to Landlord, Landlord, without investigating the validity of such lien, may pay
or discharge the same and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for the
amount so paid by Landlord, including Landlord's expenses and attorneys' fees
and interest at the Default Rate.
SECTION 13
INSURANCE
13.1 Tenant's Insurance. (a) Tenant, at its sole cost and expense but
------------------
for the mutual benefit of Landlord (when used in this Section 13 the term
"Landlord" shall include Landlord's partners, beneficiaries, officers, agents,
servants and employees and the term "Tenant" shall include Tenant's partners,
beneficiaries, officers, agents, servants and employees), agrees to purchase and
keep in force and effect during the Term hereof, including any renewal term, the
following insurance coverage:
(i) Comprehensive general liability insurance protecting against
personal injury and property damage. Any basic policy and any umbrella
policy evidencing Tenant's liability insurance shall be written (a) in an
aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000 combined single limit per

(including indemnifications) under this Lease; and (c) with an endorsement
naming Landlord and, if required, Landlord's agents, all Superior
Mortgagees and Superior Lessors as additional insureds;
(ii) casualty insurance covering the Building and all machinery,
equipment and other personal property used in connection with the Building

Building) insuring against the perils covered by fire and extended coverage
insurance, in an amount not less than the then current replacement value of
the Building;
(iii) Property insurance protecting against fire and other casualty
covering all alterations, additions, within the Premises, and on all
personal property located in the Premises. Any policy evidencing Tenant's
property insurance shall be written (a) with
21
endorsements for extended coverage, vandalism and malicious mischief; and
(b) insuring full replacement value;
(iv) Rent loss insurance covering a loss of rents equal to 100% of
Rent for a twelve (12) month period;
(v) Coverage for loss, liability, personal injury, damage or death
due to explosion of boilers or other pressure vessels; and
(vi) any other insurance reasonably required by the Superior
Mortgagee.
If Tenant fails to obtain any of the above policies or coverage, Landlord may
obtain such coverage at Tenant's expense.
(b) Tenant's liability insurance and Tenant's property insurance
shall be written by insurers of recognized responsibility licensed to do
business in the State of Florida. Such insurance may be evidenced by blanket
insurance policies of Tenant. Tenant may self-insure deductibles up to an amount
of $1,000,000 in the aggregate except for the coverage set forth in 13.1(a)(ii)
above.
(c) Tenant shall, promptly after the commencement of the Term,
furnish to Landlord certificates evidencing such coverage, which certificates
shall state that such insurance coverage may not be changed or canceled or
failed to be renewed without at least ten (10) days' prior written notice to
Landlord and Tenant.
(d) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Tenant shall
procure, maintain in force at all times, pay for and deliver to the Landlord all
of the insurance hereinabove referred to at such times and in such manner that
the Landlord's interest in the Premises shall at all times during the term
hereof be protected and evidenced by, and the Landlord shall be in possession
of, valid and binding insurance as herein required. All renewal binders or
policies shall be delivered to the Landlord not less than thirty (30) days prior
to the expiration of the policy or policies to be renewed.
(e) Unless and to the extent otherwise required by the Landlord at
the time of any loss, the loss, if any, under any or all of the policies
provided for under Section 13.1 hereof, shall be adjusted with the insurance
company or companies by and at the cost of the Tenant, but if the loss shall be
in excess of Twenty Thousand ($20,000.00) Dollars, no final adjustment shall be
made with the insurance company or companies without the written approval of the
Landlord of the amount of the adjustment. The proceeds of any insurance policy
shall, subject to the provisions of a Superior Mortgage, belong to the party
expending funds for restoration with any excess being payable to the named
insured.
22
13.2 Compliance with Insurance Requirements. Tenant shall not do or
--------------------------------------
permit to be done any act or thing in or upon the Premises which will invalidate
or be in conflict with the terms of any insurance policies covering the Premises
and the fixtures and property therein. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to
be done in or upon the Premises or bring or keep anything therein or use the
Premises in a manner which would result in the cancellation of any policy of
such insurance or the assertion of any defense by the insurer to any claim under
any policy of insurance maintained by Tenant and for the benefit of Landlord.
13.3 Risk of Loss. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the
------------
contrary or in this Section 13, Landlord and Tenant intend that the risk of loss
or damage as described above be borne by responsible insurance carriers to the
extent above provided, and Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to look solely to,
and to seek recovery only from, the insurance carriers in the event of a loss of
a type described above ("Insured Losses") to the extent that such coverage is
agreed to be provided hereunder. For this purpose, any applicable deductible
amount shall be treated as though it were recoverable under such policies.
Landlord and Tenant agree that applicable portions of all monies collected from
such insurance shall be used toward the full compliance with the obligations of
Landlord and Tenant under this Lease in connection with damage resulting from
fire or other casualty. Landlord and Tenant each hereby release and waive all
right of recovery against the other, and its respective agents, employees,
partners, officers, directors, shareholders and anyone claiming through or under
each of them for any loss or damage caused by fire or casualty, whether or not
such fire or casualty shall have been caused by the fault or negligence of the
other party.
13.4 Indemnification. (a) Subject to the limitations set forth above
---------------
in Section 13.3, Tenant shall indemnify and defend Landlord, its partners,
members, employees and agents and save them harmless from and against any and
all loss and against all claims, actions, damages, liability and expenses, in
connection with loss of life, bodily and personal injury, or property damage
arising from any occurrence in, upon or at the Premises or any part thereof, or
occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of Tenant, its agents,
contractors, employees or invitees or by anyone permitted to be on the Premises
by Tenant, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord, its partners, members, employees or agents. In case
Landlord, its partners, members, employees or agents shall be made a party to
any litigation commenced by or against Tenant, Tenant shall indemnify, defend
and hold them harmless and shall pay all costs, expenses, and reasonable
attorneys' fees incurred or paid by them in connection with such litigation. The
obligations assumed herein shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of
this Lease.
(b) Subject to the limitations set forth above in Section 13.3,
Landlord shall indemnify and defend Tenant, its partners, members, employees and
agents and save them harmless from and against any and all loss and against all
claims, actions, damages, liability and expenses, in connection with loss of
life, bodily and personal injury, or property damage arising from any occurrence
in, upon or at the Premises occasioned wholly or in part by the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of Landlord, its partners, members, agents, contractors,
23
employees or invitees or by anyone permitted to be on the Premises by Landlord,
except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
Tenant, its partners, members, employees or agents.
In case Tenant, its partners, members, employees or agents shall be made a
party to any litigation commenced by or against Landlord as a result of any
alleged act or omission by Landlord and not any alleged act or contributory
negligence of Tenant, Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold them harmless
and shall pay all costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred or
paid by them in connection with such litigation to the extent such costs are not
covered by insurance required herein.
The obligations assumed in this subsection (b) shall survive the expiration
or sooner termination of this Lease.
(c) If Landlord or Tenant or their respective agents, invitees or
employees are only partially responsible for any such liability, damage, expense
or cause of action, then the indemnification under this Section 13 shall apply
only to that portion of culpable conduct attributable to Landlord or Tenant (or
their respective agents, invitees or employees), as the case may be.
SECTION 14
TENANT'S AND LANDLORD'S RESPONSIBILITIES
Except as expressly provided in the Ground Lease, to the extent
permitted by law, Tenant shall assume the risk of responsibility for, have the
obligation to insure against, and indemnify Landlord and hold it harmless from,
any and all liability for any loss of or damage or injury to any person
(including death resulting therefrom) or property occurring in or on the
Premises, regardless of cause, except for any loss or damage caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, and its employees and agents, and
Tenant hereby releases Landlord from any and all liability for same.
SECTION 15
FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY
15.1 Substantial Destruction of the Building. If, following the
---------------------------------------
Substantial Completion Date, the Building should be substantially destroyed by
fire or other casualty, either party hereto may at its option, terminate this
Lease by giving written notice thereof to the other party within thirty (30)
days of such casualty. In such event, Rent shall be apportioned to and shall
cease as of the date of such casualty. As used herein "substantially destroyed"
shall mean the destruction of that portion of the Building which in the sole
discretion of Landlord and the Superior Mortgagee make reconstruction
impractical. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord
24
shall have no duty pursuant to this subsection to repair or restore any portion
of the alterations, additions or improvements owned or made by Tenant in the
Premises, or any personal property of Tenant, or to expend for any repair or
restoration amounts in excess of the insurance proceeds available for repair or
restoration provided that Tenant has maintained insurance in amounts not less
than the amounts required pursuant to Subsection 13.1 hereof. All insurance
proceeds paid to Tenant in connection with such casualty shall be placed in a
construction escrow at a title company acceptable to both parties and the
Superior Mortgagee until the disposition of such proceeds is decided in
accordance with the provisions of this Section.
(b) Notwithstanding the above, if any casualty to the Building occurs
during the last twelve (12) months of the Term of this Lease, either party
hereto shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of the
casualty, which right shall be exercised by written notice to be given by either
party to the other party within thirty (30) days therefrom. If this right is
exercised, Rent shall be apportioned to and shall cease as of the date of the
casualty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant has exercised a right to
renew the Lease prior to the occurrence of the casualty, Section 15.1 shall
apply.
(c) In the event Landlord undertakes reconstruction or restoration of
the Building and/or Premises, Landlord shall use reasonable diligence in
completing such reconstruction repairs, but in the event Landlord fails to
substantially complete the same within one hundred eighty (180) days from the
date of the receipt of insurance proceeds, except as a result of any of the
occurrences set forth in Subsection 31.9 below, Tenant may, at its option,
terminate this Lease upon giving Landlord thirty (30) days written notice to
that effect, unless the repairs are completed within said notice period,
whereupon Tenant shall assign all insurance proceeds to Landlord (except those
for Tenant's personally) and both parties shall be released from all further
obligations and liability hereunder. If the repairs are completed within the 30
day notice period, Tenant's election to terminate shall be null and void.
SECTION 16
CONDEMNATION
16.1 Full Taking. If, following the Substantial Completion Date, all
-----------
or substantially all of the Premises shall be taken, or a portion of the
Building shall be taken so as to prohibit the operation of Tenant's business
substantially as conducted prior thereto (a "Full Condemnation"), this Lease
shall cease and terminate on the date on which title to the portion of the
Premises so taken shall vest in the condemning authority. If this Lease so
terminates, Rent shall be paid through and apportioned as of the date of such
condemnation.
16.2 Partial Taking. If, following the Substantial Completion Date, a
--------------
portion of the Premises or Building shall be taken and, notwithstanding such
taking, Tenant can continue to operate its business substantially as conducted
prior thereto (a "Partial Condemnation"), this Lease shall continue in effect as
to the untaken portion and Tenant shall continue to pay all Rent
25
as required hereunder subject to a reduction in Base Rent and Adjustment Rent in
proportion to the portion of the Premises so taken. In the event of a Partial
Condemnation, Landlord shall promptly restore the portion not taken to the
extent reasonably possible to the condition existing prior to the condemnation.
In such event, however, Landlord shall not be required to expend an amount in
excess of the proceeds received by Landlord from the condemning authority.
16.3 Condemnation Awards. Following the Substantial Completion Date,
-------------------
Landlord reserves all rights to compensation for any Full Condemnation or
Partial Condemnation, except that Tenant may separately prosecute any claim it
may have for Tenant's alterations, fixtures and personal property within the
Premises and its moving expenses (if they are compensable) provided such
prosecution does not interfere with or reduce Landlord's compensation. Tenant
hereby assigns to Landlord any right Tenant may have to such compensation, and
Tenant shall make no claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for
compensation for termination of the leasehold interest of Tenant under this
Lease or interference with Tenant's business.
16.4 Temporary Taking. If, following the Substantial Completion Date,
----------------
the temporary use or occupancy of all or any part of the Premises shall be
lawfully taken by condemnation or in any other manner for any public or
quasi-public use or purpose during the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall be
entitled, except as hereinafter set forth, to receive that portion of the award
for such taking which represents compensation for the use and occupancy of the
Premises during the Term and, if so awarded, for the taking of Tenant's
alterations, fixtures and personal property within the Premises and for moving
expenses, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive that portion which
represents reimbursement for the use and occupancy of the Premises following the
expiration of the Term. This Lease shall be and remain unaffected by such taking
and Tenant shall continue to be responsible for all of its obligations hereunder
insofar as such obligations are not affected by such taking and shall continue
to pay in full the Base Rent and Adjustment Rent when due. All moneys received
by Tenant as, or as part of, an award for the temporary use and occupancy for a
period beyond the date to which the rents hereunder have been paid by Tenant
shall be delivered to Landlord and applied by Landlord in payment of the rents
falling due hereunder.
SECTION 17
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
17.1 Landlord's Consent. Tenant shall not, without the prior written
------------------
consent of Landlord (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed
as provided in Subsection 17.2 hereof): (a) assign, convey, or otherwise
transfer this Lease or any interest hereunder, or sublease the Premises, or any
part thereof, whether voluntarily or by operation of law; or (b) permit the use
of the Premises by any person other than Tenant and its partners, employees,
contractors and agents and permitted transferees. Any such transfer, sublease or
use described in the preceding sentence (a "Transfer") occurring without the
prior written consent
26
of Landlord shall be void and of no effect. For the purposes of this Section,
each of the following events shall be deemed to constitute a Transfer and shall
require the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance: (i) any
assignment or transfer of this Lease by operation of law; (ii) any
hypothecation, pledge or collateral assignment of this Lease; and (iii) any
involuntary assignment or transfer of this Lease in connection with bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership or otherwise. As to hypothecation, pledge or collateral
assignment of this Lease, Landlord's approval shall be at its sole discretion.
Landlord's consent pursuant to this subsection shall not relieve Tenant of its
liability under this Lease.
17.2 Standards for Consent. (a) If Tenant desires the consent of
---------------------
Landlord to a Transfer, then Tenant shall submit to Landlord, at least thirty
(30) days prior to the proposed effective date of the Transfer, a written notice
which includes such information as Landlord may reasonably require about the
proposed Transfer and the transferee, including, without limitation, the terms
of the proposed Transfer along with a schedule of all rent and other charges to
be paid by the transferee pursuant to such Transfer (collectively, "Transfer
Rent"). Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any assignment
or sublease, which consent or lack thereof shall be provided within thirty (30)
days of receipt of Tenant's notice. Landlord shall not be deemed to have
unreasonably withheld its consent if, in the judgment of the Landlord: (i) the
transferee is of a character or engaged in a business which is not in keeping
with the standards or criteria used by Landlord in leasing the Building; (ii)
the transferee is a governmental unit; (iii) Tenant is in Default under this
Lease; and (iv) in the judgment of the Landlord, such a Transfer would violate
any term, condition, covenant, or agreement of the Landlord involving the
Building. Tenant shall not effect any Transfer if the transferee's use violates
local zoning laws or ordinances, or if the transferee's use requires more
parking than provided on the Premises. Tenant shall pay to Landlord any
reasonable attorneys' or other fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in
connection with any proposed Transfer, whether or not Landlord consents to such
Transfer.
(b) The parties further agree that in lieu of Landlord's giving its
written consent to a sublease or assignment, where same is required, Landlord
may elect to recapture the Premises and release Tenant from this Lease, provided
Tenant desires to sublease all of the Premises or assign the Lease to a party
other than an entity described in Section 17.4 below. In the event that Landlord
exercises its election to release Tenant from this Lease, Tenant shall
thereafter be released from any further obligation under this Lease and shall be
deemed to have waived all rights for the payment of any monies due as of the
effective date of such release.
17.3 Excess Transfer Consideration. In addition to the other
-----------------------------
provisions of this Section 17 regarding the limitations on Tenant's rights to
consummate a Transfer, it shall be a condition to any Transfer hereunder that
Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of all Net Transfer
Consideration payable during the Term. For purposes hereof, "Net Transfer
Consideration" shall mean (a) with respect to subleases, the excess, if any, of
(x) the amount of all rent and additional rent or adjustment rent payable
according to the terms of the proposed sublease less (y) the amount of Base Rent
and Adjustment Rent payable hereunder which is
27
allocable to the portion of the Premises covered by the Transfer ("Transfer
Premises") and (b) with respect to assignments, the gross amount of any
consideration in respect of such assignment, less, in either such case (a) or
(b), (i) Tenant's actual out-of-pocket costs incurred in partitioning and
finishing the portion of the Transfer Premises or the provision of a tenant
allowance by Tenant, (ii) any brokerage commission paid by Tenant in connection
with such Transfer, (iii) any reimbursement amounts paid to Landlord pursuant to
Section 17.2 hereof and (iv) Tenant's attorneys' fees (which expenses identified
in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) shall be deducted from Net Transfer
Consideration as incurred). Payment of Net Transfer Consideration to Landlord
shall be made within ten (10) days after receipt thereof by Tenant for which
payment is due Landlord. If the Net Transfer Consideration received by Tenant is
not in cash or cash equivalent, Tenant shall nevertheless pay to Landlord 50% of
the value thereof in cash.
17.4 Transfers Permitted Without Landlord Consent. Notwithstanding any
--------------------------------------------
provision of this subsection to the contrary, but subject to all of the other
provisions of this Section 17, and provided that Tenant shall not be in default
of its obligations under this Lease:
(i) Tenant shall have the right, without the consent of Landlord, to
assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of the Premises to any entity
controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant or, any AWO
Affiliate, provided that no such assignee shall further assign this Lease
and no such sublessee shall assign or encumber its sublease or further
sublet all or any part of the Premises to any person other than an entity
controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant, except in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 17. As used in this Lease,
"AWO Affiliate" shall mean any entity which is a party to a Member Firm
Interfirm Agreement and is a member of the Xxxxxxxx Worldwide Organization;
and "Xxxxxxxx Worldwide Organization" shall mean AWO Affiliates
collectively and referred to in a consolidated manner.
(ii) Tenant shall have the right, without the consent of Landlord, to
assign this Lease to any entity succeeding to Tenant by merger or
consolidation in accordance with applicable statutory provisions for merger
or consolidation or by purchase of all or substantially all of Tenant's
assets, provided that each such entity succeeding to Tenant's interests
--------
hereunder shall have sufficient creditworthiness to perform its obligations
under this Lease and a minimum net worth of Fifty Million Dollars
($50,000,000). In connection with any purchase of all or substantially all
of Tenant's assets, and effective upon Tenant's compliance with the
foregoing, the assignor shall be released from further liability under this
Lease.
17.5 Conditions. No assignment or sublease shall be effective unless Tenant
----------
shall promptly (and in any event, no later than thirty (30) days after the
effective date of an assignment or the commencement of the term of a sublease,
as the case may be) deliver to Landlord (a) a duplicate original of the
instrument of assignment, containing a written assumption of this Lease by the
assignee, or a duplicate original of the sublease, as the case may be, and (b)
all other agreements between Tenant and such assignee or subtenant relating to
such
28
assignment or sublease or to any other arrangements between those parties
relating to the use and occupancy of all or any portion of the Premises or the
fixtures, furniture, equipment or services therein.
17.6 Legal Requirements. Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining all
------------------
permits and approvals required by any governmental or quasi-governmental agency
for any work or otherwise required in connection with any permitted assignment
of this Lease or any permitted sublease, and Tenant shall deliver copies of the
same to Landlord prior to the commencement of work if work is to be done.
17.7 No Waiver. The consent by Landlord to any assignment or
---------
subletting shall not be a waiver of or constitute a diminution of Landlord's
right to withhold its consent to any other assignment or subletting and shall
not be construed to relieve Tenant from its liability hereunder or from
obtaining Landlord's express written consent to any other or further assignment
or subletting.
17.8 Default by Tenant.
-----------------
(a) If the Premises or any part thereof be sublet or occupied by any
person or persons other than Tenant, whether or not in violation of this Lease,
Landlord may, after default by Tenant, collect rent from the subtenant or
occupant and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no
such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection of rent shall be deemed a
waiver of the covenants in this Section, nor shall it be deemed acceptance of
the assignee, subtenant or occupant as a tenant, or a release of Tenant from the
full performance by Tenant of all the terms, conditions and covenants of this
Lease.
(b) It shall be a condition to each sublease except to an AWO
Affiliate that, in the event of termination or cancellation of this Lease for
any reason whatsoever, or of the surrender of this Lease, whether voluntary,
involuntary or by operation of law, prior to the expiration date of such
sublease (as may be extended or renewed as provided therein), the subtenant
shall, if requested by Landlord and at Landlord's option, make full and complete
attornment to Landlord for the balance of the term of the sublease.
SECTION 18
LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO PERFORM
TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS
18.1 Landlord's Right to Perform Tenant's Obligations. If Tenant shall
------------------------------------------------
default in the performance of any term or covenant on its part to be performed
under this Lease, Landlord, without being under any obligation to do so and
without thereby waiving such default, may upon the expiration of the period
allowed for the cure of such default, if any, provided by this Lease (or with or
without such expiration in case of emergency) remedy such default.
29
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for all costs, expenses and reasonable
interest incurred by Landlord in the performance of Tenant's obligations
hereunder plus interest on the unpaid amount at Default Rate.
SECTION 19
SURRENDER
19.1 Condition Upon Surrender. Following the Substantial Completion
------------------------
Date and upon termination of the Term or Tenant's right to possession of the
Premises, Tenant shall return the Premises to Landlord in good order and
condition, ordinary wear and damage by fire or other casualty excepted.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 19 or elsewhere in this
Lease, Tenant shall not be required to remove any of the initial tenant
improvements in the Premises installed as part of Landlord's Work or any
subsequent alterations approved by Landlord, unless removal was a condition of
Landlord's approval thereof. Tenant shall remove its furniture, equipment, trade
fixtures and all other items of personal property from the Premises prior to
termination of the Term or Tenant's right to possession of the Premises. If
Tenant does not remove such items, Tenant shall be conclusively presumed to have
conveyed the same to Landlord without further payment or credit by Landlord to
Tenant; or at Landlord's sole option such items shall be deemed abandoned, in
which event Landlord may cause such items to be removed and disposed of at
Tenant's expense, which shall be 100% of Landlord's actual cost of removal,
without notice to Tenant and without obligation to compensate Tenant.
SECTION 20
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
20.1 Tenant Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall
--------------
constitute a default (a "Default") by Tenant under this Lease: (a) Tenant fails
to pay any Rent when due and such failure is not cured within five (5) days
after notice from Landlord, which Landlord shall not be obligated to provide
more frequently than once in every twelve (12) month period (which notice may be
in the form of a Landlord statutory five (5) day notice); (b) Tenant fails to
perform any other provision of this Lease and such failure is not cured within
thirty (30) days (or immediately if the failure involves a hazardous condition)
after notice from Landlord; provided, however, that with respect only to
Defaults which cannot be cured by the payment of money but which by their nature
can be cured, if a cure thereof cannot reasonably be effected within thirty (30)
days, then, so long as Tenant continues to diligently pursue such cure, such
cure period shall be extended for such period of time as is reasonably required
to effect such cure; (c) the leasehold interest of Tenant is levied upon or
attached under process of law; (d) Tenant shall commence proceedings for or take
any corporate or partnership action (or its equivalent) authorizing or providing
for its dissolution or liquidation; (e) Tenant shall effect a Transfer in
violation of the Lease; or (f) (i) Tenant shall commence any case, proceeding or
other action 1) under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction, domestic
or foreign, relating to bankruptcy,
30
insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, seeking to have an order for
relief entered with respect to it, or seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or
insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up,
liquidation, dissolution, composition or other relief with respect to it or its
debts, or 2) seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other
similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its assets, or
Tenant shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (ii)
there shall be commenced against Tenant any case, proceeding or other action of
a nature referred to in clause (i) above which 1) results in the entry of an
order for relief or any such adjudication or appointment, 2) remains
undismissed, undischarged or unbonded for a period of ninety (90) days or 3) in
the event of such a case, proceeding or other action which has been bonded
within said ninety (90) day period, if such case, proceeding or other action
does not remain so bonded thereafter until it is discharged or dismissed; or
(iii) there shall be commenced against Tenant any case, proceeding or other
action seeking issuance of a warrant of attachment, execution, distraint or
similar process against all or any substantial part of its assets, which results
in the entry of an order for any such relief which shall not have been vacated,
discharged, or stayed or bonded pending appeal within ninety (90) days from the
entry thereof or, in the event of such a case, proceeding or other action which
has been bonded or stayed within said ninety (90) day period, if such case,
proceeding or other action does not remain so bonded or stayed thereafter until
it is vacated or dismissed (any such action, proceeding or event described in
the foregoing clause (1), a "Bankruptcy Event"); or (iv) Tenant shall take any
action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or
acquiescence in, any of the acts set 20.1 forth in clause (i), (ii) or (iii)
above; or (v) Tenant shall generally not, or shall be unable to, or shall admit
in writing its inability to, pay its debts as they become due.
20.2 Termination of Lease. In the event of a non-monetary Default
--------------------
hereunder by Tenant and the expiration of all applicable grace or cure periods,
including the cure period set forth in Section 20.1(b) above, Landlord may serve
a written five (5) day notice of cancellation of this Lease upon Tenant, and
upon the expiration of said five (5) days, this Lease and the Term hereunder
shall end and expire as fully and completely as if the date of expiration of
such five (5) day period were the Expiration Date of this Lease. Tenant shall
then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord but Tenant shall remain liable
as hereinafter provided.
20.3 Equitable Relief. In the event of a breach or threatened breach
----------------
by Tenant of any of the covenants or provisions hereof, Landlord shall also have
the right to pursue any and all equitable rights available to it under Florida
law or otherwise, including, without limitation, specific performance.
20.4 Remedies Upon Default. In the event Landlord shall have given a
---------------------
notice of Default or Tenant shall otherwise be in Default hereunder:
(a) Landlord and Landlord's agents may, pursuant to Florida law
re-enter the Premises or any part thereof, and by summary proceedings or
otherwise, but not in violation of the Florida law of forcible detainer,
dispossess Tenant or the legal representative of Tenant or
31
other occupant of the Premises and remove their effects without liability for
damage thereto and hold the Premises as if this Lease had not been made but
Tenant shall remain liable hereunder as hereinafter provided. If permitted under
Florida law, Landlord may terminate Tenant's possession of the Premises without
terminating the Lease provided Landlord otherwise complies with the provisions
of this Section 20; and
(b) Landlord may, at its option, relet the whole or any part or parts
of the Premises from time to time, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise,
to such tenant or tenants, for such term or terms ending before, on or after the
Expiration Date, at such rental or rentals and upon such other conditions, which
may include concessions and free rent periods, as Landlord in its sole
discretion may determine. Landlord shall have no obligation to relet the
Premises or any part thereof and shall in no event be liable for refusal or
failure to relet the Premises or any part thereof, or, in the event of any such
reletting, for refusal or failure to collect any rent upon any such reletting,
and no such refusal or failure shall operate to relieve Tenant of any liability
under this Lease or otherwise to affect any such liability. Landlord, at
Landlord's option, may make such repairs, improvements, alterations, additions,
decorations and other physical changes in and to the Premises as Landlord
considers advisable or necessary in connection with any such reletting or
proposed reletting (but not changing the use), without relieving Tenant of any
liability under this Lease or otherwise affecting any such liability.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord shall take
reasonable measures to mitigate damages against Tenant.
(c) Unless expressly stated herein, Landlord shall have all remedies
available under Florida law so long as Landlord follows all required statutory
procedures. An election by Landlord under this Section 20.4 shall not be
construed as an election of remedies and Landlord may avail itself of any legal
and equitable remedies it may otherwise have arising out of Tenant's breach of
this Lease.
20.5 Damages. If this Lease shall terminate or if Landlord shall
-------
re-enter the Premises as provided in this Section:
(a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Rent to the date upon which this
Lease shall have been terminated or to the date of re-entry upon the Premises by
Landlord, as the case may be;
(b) Landlord shall be entitled to retain all monies, if any, paid by
Tenant to Landlord, whether as advance rent, security or otherwise, but such
monies shall be credited by Landlord against any rent due at the time of such
termination or re-entry or, at Landlord's option, against any damages payable by
Tenant;
(c) Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay to Landlord, as damages,
any deficiency between the Rent payable hereunder for the period which otherwise
would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term and the net amount, if
any, of rents collected under any reletting effected pursuant to the provisions
of Subsection 20.4(b) for any part of such period (first deducting from the
rents collected under
32
any such reletting all of Landlord's expenses in connection with the termination
of this Lease or Landlord's re-entry upon the Premises and in connection with
such reletting including all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal
expenses, alteration costs and/or tenant improvement contributions and other
expenses of preparing the Premises for such reletting);
(d) Any deficiency in accordance with Subsection 20.5(c) above shall
be paid in monthly installments by Tenant on the days specified in this Lease
for the payment of installments of Base Rent. Landlord shall be entitled to
recover from Tenant each monthly deficiency as the same shall arise and no suit
to collect the amount of the deficiency for any month shall prejudice Landlord's
right to collect the deficiency for any prior or subsequent month by a similar
proceeding. Alternatively, suit or suits for the recovery of such deficiencies
may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election;
(e) Whether or not Landlord shall have collected any monthly
deficiencies as aforesaid (but not in duplication of such amounts previously
collected), Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall
pay Landlord on demand, as and for liquidated and agreed final damages and not
as a penalty, a sum equal to, a sum of which at the time of such termination of
this Lease or at the time of any such re-entry by Landlord, as the case may be,
represents the then value (using a discount rate of eight percent (8%) per
annum) of the excess, if any, of
(i) the aggregate of the fixed annual Base Rent and Adjustment
Rent payable hereunder which would have been payable by Tenant (using
a reasonable estimate for Adjustment Rent) for the period commencing
with such earlier termination of this Lease and ending with the
Expiration Date, had this Lease not so terminated, over
(ii) the aggregate fair market rental value of the Premises for
the same period (assuming that any tenant shall pay Adjustment Rent).
(f) In addition to the other damages payable to Landlord as provided
herein, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord as damages an amount equal to the
reasonable expenses incurred in terminating this Lease and in re-entering the
Premises and in securing possession of the Premises, including attorneys' fees,
as well as the expenses of re-letting, including altering and preparing the
Premises for new tenants, brokers, commissions and attorneys' fees, rent
concessions, and all other expenses properly chargeable against the Premises and
the rental thereof. All such expenses shall be equitably prorated if the term of
the new lease extends beyond the termination date of this Lease. Anything in
this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, if Tenant is in default in any of
its obligations hereunder, Landlord shall not be entitled to receive from Tenant
any consequential costs or damages incurred by Landlord as a
33
result of such default. In addition, following Tenant's default Landlord shall
use reasonable measures to mitigate any damages arising from Tenant's default
(g) In no event shall Tenant be entitled (i) to receive any excess
of any rent under clause (d) over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord
hereunder or (ii) in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this
subsection, to a credit in respect of any rent from a reletting except to the
extent that such rent is actually received by Landlord prior to the commencement
of such suit. If the Premises or any part thereof should be relet in combination
with other space, then proper apportionment on a square foot area basis shall be
made of the rent received from such reletting and the expenses of reletting.
20.6 Covenants. (a) If this Lease shall terminate or if the Landlord
---------
shall re-enter the Premises:
(i) The Premises shall be, upon such earlier termination or
re-entry, in the same condition as that in which Tenant has agreed to
surrender them to Landlord on the Expiration Date;
(ii) Tenant, on or before the occurrence of any default hereunder,
shall have performed every covenant contained in this Lease for the making
of any alteration or for repairing any part of the Premises; and
(iii) For the breach of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) of this
subsection, or both, Landlord shall be entitled immediately, without notice
or other action by Landlord, to recover, and Tenant shall pay, as and for
agreed damages therefor, the then cost of performing such covenants, plus
interest thereon at the Default Rate for the period from the date of the
occurrence of any default to the date of payment.
20.7 Bankruptcy. (a) If this Lease is assigned to any person or
----------
entity pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. 101 et seq.
------
(the "Bankruptcy Code"), any and all monies or other considerations payable or
otherwise to be delivered in connection with such assignment shall be paid or
delivered to Landlord, shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord
and shall not constitute property of Tenant or of the estate of Tenant within
the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. Any and all monies or other considerations
constituting Landlord's property under the preceding sentence not paid or
delivered to Landlord shall be held in trust for the benefit of Landlord and be
promptly paid to or turned over to Landlord.
(b) If a trustee in bankruptcy shall assume this Lease and shall
propose to assign the same pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to
any person or entity who shall have made a bona fide offer to accept an
assignment of this Lease on terms acceptable to such trustee:
34
(i) Notice of such proposed assignment setting forth 1) the name
and address of such person, 2) all of the terms and conditions of such
offer, and 3) the adequate assurance to being provided Landlord to
assure such person's future performance under this Lease, including,
without limitation, the assurance referred to in section 365(b)(3) of
the Bankruptcy Code, shall be given to Landlord by such trustee no
later than twenty (20) days after receipt by such trustee, but in any
event no later than ten (10) days prior to the date that such trustee
shall make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for
authority and approval to enter into such assignment and assumption,
and Landlord shall thereupon have the prior right and option, to be
exercised by notice to Tenant given at any time prior to the effective
date of such proposed assignment, to accept an assignment of this
Lease upon the same terms and conditions and for the same
consideration, if any, as the bona fide offer made by such person,
less any brokerage commissions which may be payable out of the
consideration to be paid by such person for the assignment of this
Lease.
(ii) It is agreed that adequate assurance of future performance
by the assignee or transferee permitted under the Bankruptcy Code
shall mean the deposit of cash security with Landlord in an amount
equal to the sum of six months' Base Rent then reserved hereunder plus
an amount equal to one-half of all Adjustment Rent payable under
Section 3 hereof or other provisions of this Lease for the calendar
year preceding the year in which such assignment is intended to become
effective, which deposit shall be held by Landlord, in United States
Treasury Bills or Notes or in a certificate of deposit or savings
certificate (at Landlord's option) issued by a national bank in the
State of Florida, having assets of at least $500,000,000, for the
balance of the Term as security for the full and faithful performance
of all of the obligations under this Lease on the part of Tenant yet
to be performed. Interest earned on such deposit (less 1% per annum on
such deposit which shall be retained by Landlord as an administrative
fee) shall be paid to or credited to Tenant at the end of each
calendar year. In addition, adequate assurance shall mean that any
such assignee or transferee of this Lease shall have a net worth
(exclusive of goodwill) equal to at least five (5) times the aggregate
of the annual Base Rent reserved hereunder plus all Adjustment Rent.
(c) Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to
the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed without further act or
deed to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease on and
after the date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall, upon demand, execute
and deliver to Landlord an instrument in recordable form confirming such
assumption.
20.8 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies and rights provided for in this
-------------------
Lease are cumulative. Mention in this Lease of any particular remedy shall not
preclude Landlord from pursuing any other remedy at law or equity.
35
20.9 Waiver of Redemption. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all
--------------------
rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws.
20.10 No Waivers by Landlord. The failure of Landlord to seek redress
----------------------
for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or
condition of this Lease, shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have
originally constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of an
original violation except that Landlord shall not enforce any rules and
regulations in a manner which unfairly discriminates against Tenant. The receipt
or acceptance by Landlord of Rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant
of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No provision of this
Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord unless such waiver be in
writing signed by Landlord. No endorsement or statement on any check or any
letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent shall be deemed an accord and
satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to
Landlord's right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy
in this Lease.
20.11 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. LANDLORD AND TENANT WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY

SECTION 21
TENANT'S REMEDIES FOR LANDLORD'S DEFAULT
21.1 Tenant's Remedies for Landlord's Default. The occurrence of any of
----------------------------------------
the following shall constitute a default by Landlord under this Lease: (a)
Landlord fails to make any payment or apply any credit due Tenant when due and
such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice from Tenant; and
(b) Landlord fails to perform any other provision of this Lease and such failure
is not cured within thirty (30) days (or immediately if the failure involves a
hazardous condition) after notice from Tenant; provided, however that, with
respect only to defaults which cannot be cured by the payment of money but which
by their nature can be cured, if a cure thereof cannot reasonably be effected
within thirty (30) days, then, so long as Landlord continues to diligently
pursue such cure, such cure period shall be extended for such period of time as
is reasonably required to effect such cure. In addition to Tenant's rights
contained herein or available in law or at equity, in the event Landlord
neglects or fails to comply with any of Landlord's obligations contained in this
Lease, and Landlord has not cured within the applicable
36
cure period set forth above. Tenant may pursue all remedies against Landlord
arising out of Landlord's default. In the event Tenant obtains a final judgment
against Landlord on account of such default, Tenant may set off the amount of
the judgment (including attorneys' fees and expenses, and interest thereon at
the Default Rate) against the next due installments of Rent, provided no offset
amount may exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the total Rent due Landlord in any
single month. If, because of the foregoing limit, Tenant cannot offset the
entire amount of such judgment plus the interest thereon prior to the expiration
of the Term, the fifteen percent (15%) cap shall not apply and Tenant shall
deduct monthly from Rent an amount which shall amortize the judgment and
interest accruing thereon over the balance of the Term. Election by Tenant to
offset against Rent pursuant to this Section 21.1 shall not be construed as an
election of remedies and Tenant may avail itself of any legal and equitable
remedies it may otherwise have arising out of a breach of this Lease by
Landlord.
SECTION 22
ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
22.1 Tenant Estoppel Certificate. Tenant agrees that, from time to time
---------------------------
upon not less than fifteen (15) days' prior request by Landlord, Tenant shall
execute and deliver to Landlord a written certificate certifying that the
following items are true and correct (or if not true and correct, the reasons
therefor): (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if
there have been modifications, a description of such modifications and that this
Lease as modified is in full force and effect); (b) the dates to which Rent has
been paid; (c) that Tenant is in possession of the Premises, if that is the
case; (d) that Landlord is not in default under this Lease, or, if Tenant
believes Landlord is in default, the nature thereof in detail; (e) that Tenant
has no off-sets or defenses to the performance of its obligations under this
Lease (or if Tenant believes there are any off-sets or defenses, a full and
complete explanation thereof); (f) that the Premises have been completed in
accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, that Tenant has accepted the
Premises and the condition thereof and of all improvements thereto and has no
claims against Landlord or any other party with respect thereto; and (g) such
additional matters as may be requested by Landlord, it being agreed that such
certificate may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser, mortgagee, or other
person having or acquiring an interest in the Premises. The failure of Tenant to
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in accordance with the
provisions of this section within said fifteen (15) day period shall constitute
an acknowledgment by Tenant which may be relied on by any person who would be
entitled to rely upon any such statement, that such statement as submitted by
Landlord is true and correct provided that Landlord has also sent a second ten
(10) day notice requesting such statement.
37
SECTION 23
SUBORDINATION
23.1 Subordination. Provided that such Superior Mortgagee and/or
-------------
Superior Lessor shall have entered into an agreement with Tenant (on a form
consistent with the terms of this Section 23 and otherwise reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to each of such Superior Lessor or Superior
Mortgagee, on the one hand, and Tenant, on the other hand) providing that, in

of each Superior Mortgage, unless such Superior Lease or Superior Lessor or
Superior Mortgage or Superior Mortgagee expressly provides or elects that the
Lease shall be superior to such Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage. In
addition, as a condition to Tenant's obligations under this Lease, and prior to
the execution of this Lease, each and every existing Superior Mortgagee or
Superior Lessor shall execute a non-disturbance agreement in favor of Tenant
providing that, in the event of a foreclosure of the Superior Mortgage or a
termination of the Superior Lease, as the case may be, such Superior Mortgagee
or Superior Lessor shall not terminate this Lease and shall recognize Tenant as
the direct tenant of such landlord in accordance with to the terms of this Lease

Landlord under this Lease;
(iv) liable for any security deposited pursuant to this Lease unless

mortgage, should ground lessor or mortgagee elect such superiority.
SECTION 24
QUIET ENJOYMENT
24.1 Tenant's Right to Quiet Enjoyment. As long as no Default exists,
---------------------------------
Tenant shall peacefully and quietly have and enjoy the Premises for the Term,
free from interference by Landlord, subject, however, to the provisions of this
Lease. The loss or reduction of Tenant's light, air or view will not be deemed a
disturbance of Tenant's occupancy of the Premises nor will it affect Tenant's
obligations under this Lease or create any liability of Landlord to Tenant.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Landlord hereby
covenants that (a) the Building shall be operated in a manner consistent with
first-class office buildings in the Sarasota, Florida area and (b) so long as
Tenant is not in default under this Lease, Tenant shall

comprised of more than one entity, each such entity shall be jointly and
severally liable for Tenant's obligations under this Lease (subject to the
foregoing limitation on liability with respect to individual partners, managers
and employees of Tenant). The provisions of this subsection may not be waived by
any partner, manager or employee of Tenant or by any actions or inaction of
Tenant.

-------------------------
and regulations in effect from time to time, Tenant shall have exclusive
Building and monument signage privileges. Landlord shall, at the direction of

equipment used in connection with the Building may be unable to recognize and
perform properly date-sensitive functions involving dates after December 31,
46
1999). Based on such review, Landlord represents and warrants to Lessee that no
material systems, facilities, services, products and equipment relating to the
Building will be affected by the Year 2000 Problem on, before or after January
1, 2000, and that all Building services and operations will continue without

Tenant.

------------------------
Premises after the expiration or termination of the Term or Tenant's right to
possession of the Premises, Tenant shall pay Base Rent during such holding over
an amount equal to one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the rate in effect
immediately preceding such holding over computed on a daily basis for each day
that Tenant remains in possession. Such amount shall be Landlord's sole and
exclusive damages remedy upon Tenant's holding over; provided, however, that

over.

allocable share of the operating expenses and real estate taxes of the building,
excluding therefrom any market concessions such as work performed by landlord, a
tenant improvements allowance or leasing commissions or the other costs and
expenses for the lease transaction because Landlord is not incurring those costs
upon a renewal) but including, any tenant improvement allowance to be received
by Tenant, generally in effect for comparable first class office buildings of
age similar to the Building located in the Sarasota commercial office market

disagreement. The failure of Tenant to deliver Tenant's Rent Notice to Landlord
within thirty (30) days following Tenant's receipt of Landlord's Rent Notice
shall be deemed Tenant's acceptance of Landlord's determination of the Net
Effective Rent and such determination conclusively shall be deemed to be the
basis for the Base Rent payable by Tenant for the period in question for
purposes of subsection 32.1 or 32.2, as the case may be. If Tenant timely
delivers to Landlord Tenant's Rent Notice, then Net Effective Rent shall be
determined as follows:
(i) Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint a licensed real
estate broker who has been actively engaged in the leasing of office
space in comparable office buildings in the Sarasota real estate
market for not less than ten (10) years immediately preceding the date
of appointment and shall not be a sole practitioner (each an
"Appraiser" and collectively, the "Appraisers"). Within thirty (30)
days following receipt of Tenant's Rent Notice (the "Appraisal
Period") the Appraisers shall each make an independent determination
of Net Effective Rent. If the difference between the Appraisers'
values is equal to or less than five percent (5%), then the Net
Effective Rent shall be the average of the sum of the Appraisers'
values.
(ii) If the difference between the Appraisers' values is greater
than five percent (5%), then the Appraisers shall jointly and promptly
choose a third real estate broker, having the same qualifications as
those set forth above for Appraisers (the "Arbiter") to whom the
Appraisers shall submit in writing their respective determinations of
Net Effective Rent. Within thirty (30) days after being retained, the
Arbiter shall offer the Arbiter's determination of Net Effective Rent.
If the Net Effective Rent determined by the Arbiter lies between the
Appraisers' values, then Net Effective Rent shall be the average of
the sum of (A) the Arbiter's value and (B) the Appraiser's value
nearest to the Arbiter's value. If the Arbiter's determination of Net
Effective Rent is either higher or lower than both of the Appraisers'
values, then Net Effective Rent shall be the average of the sum of the
two nearest values.
(iii) If the Appraisers cannot agree on an Arbiter within ten
(10) business days after the expiration of the Appraisal Period, then
either party may apply to the American Arbitration Association office
in Sarasota, Florida (or the nearest such office to Sarasota) in
charge of real estate valuation arbitrations for appointment of the
Arbiter.
(iv) If neither the Appraisers nor the Arbiter have finally
determined Net Effective Rent prior to the date on which Base Rent
based upon such Net Effective Rent is to go into effect pursuant to
Subsection 32.1 or 32.2, as the case may be, Tenant shall pay Base
Rent based upon Landlord's Rent Notice (the "Minimum Rent"), subject
to adjustment upon final determination of the Net
49
Effective Rent. In the event the Net Effective Rent, as finally
determined by the above procedure, is (i) in excess of the
Minimum Rent, Tenant, within thirty (30) days following such
final determination, shall pay over to Landlord all such
accumulated excess and (ii) less than the Minimum Rent, Landlord,
within thirty (30) days following such final determination, shall
pay over to Tenant all such accumulated excess or shall allow
Tenant a credit equal to such excess against Base Rent next
coming due hereunder.
(v) Landlord and Tenant each shall be responsible for and
shall pay the fees and expenses of their respective Appraiser and
shall share equally the fees and expenses of the Arbiter.
(vi) In no event shall the Base Rent for any Renewal Period
be less than Two Million Fifty Thousand, One Hundred and Fifty
Two Dollars ($2,050,152) per year.
32.4 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to
-------------------
the exercise by Tenant of any Renewal Option.
32.5 Termination. The termination or cancellation of this Lease
-----------
shall terminate any rights of Tenant pursuant to this Section 32.
SECTION 33

less than six (6) months prior to the Expiration Date, Tenant may elect to
purchase the Premises on the Expiration Date for the sum of $25,148,000.00.
33.3 Purchase Contract. If Tenant exercises either of the

options set forth in subsections 33.1 or 33.2, the parties shall enter into the
Purchase Contract for the sale of the Premises attached hereto as Exhibit D.
---------
