that are part of the corporate campus located at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx,

and the real property not subject to the Synthetic Lease (collectively, the
"Corporate Campus"). The parties further acknowledge and agree that, initially
hereunder, the Premises constitute 180,818 rentable square feet representing
approximately 69% ("Sublessee's Share") (including a load fact of 45%for
common/shared space) of the 261,536 rentable square feet of space in Building V,
it being understood that the parties anticipate that Sublessee's Share shall
fluctuate and change as and when the rentable square feet of space allocated and
leased to Sublessee hereunder changes.
1.2 REALLOCATIONS OF SPACE. Notwithstanding any other provision herein or
in any other agreement or instrument to the contrary, the parties understand and
acknowledge that Sublessor and Sublessee anticipate that there will be
reallocations of office space among Sublessor and Sublessee, including one or
more reallocations during calendar year 2007. The parties hereby agree that
Sublessee's Share may, by mutual agreement, increase or decrease from time to
time during the term of this Sublease, in which case the parties shall
memorialize the changes in (i) rentable square footage of the Premises, (ii)
Sublessee's Share and (iii) monthly Base Rent. In such event, Sublessee's Base
Rent and Additional Rent shall be re-calculated based on the rentable square
foot subleased and allocated to Sublessee, determined as a percentage of the
total rentable square foot of office space available at the Corporate Campus.
2. TERM. The initial term of this Sublease ("Initial Term") shall commence on
the date hereof ("Commencement Date") and terminate on December 31, 2007.
3. RENT.
3.1 BASE RENT. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor base rent ("Base Rent"), at
an annual rate of $31.71 per rentable square foot, in equal monthly installments
of $347,321.25 without prior notice or demand, in advance, on the first day of
each calendar month at such place as Sublessor may direct, in writing. If the
Term commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, Sublessee
shall pay to Sublessor, on or before the Commencement Date of the Term, a pro
rata portion of the monthly installment of Base Rent, such pro rata portion to
be based on the actual number of calendar days remaining in such partial month
after the Commencement Date of the Term. If the Term shall expire on other than
the last day of a calendar month, such monthly installment of Base Rent shall be
prorated for each calendar day of such partial month. If any portion of Base
Rent or other sum payable to Sublessor hereunder shall be due and unpaid for
more than fifteen (15) days after written notice from Sublessor to Sublessee
that such payment has not been received, it shall thereafter bear interest at a
rate equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum (the "Default Rate").
3.2 ADDITIONAL RENT. In addition to paying Base Rent, for each calendar
year commencing with calendar year 2006, Sublessee shall pay as additional rent
("Additional Rent"
2
and, together with Base Rent, collectively, the "Rent") Sublessee's Share of
Sublessor's reasonable estimate of operating expenses for the entire Corporate
Campus ("Operating Expenses") that are in excess of the Operating Expenses
applicable to the 2006 base year (the "Base Year"), which for the purposes of
this Sublease, the Sublessee's Share of Operating Expenses in the Base Year are
$23.05 per rentable square foot per year. Sublessor reasonably estimates
Sublessee's Additional Rent for the calendar year 2006 is $8.66 per rentable
square foot per year or $130,490.33 per month, which when combined with the Base
Rent shall result in a monthly Rent payment of $477,811.58, which is equal to
$31.71 per rentable square foot per year for 2006. Commencing January 1, 2005,
and otherwise as set forth herein, Sublessee shall pay Additional Rent at the
same times and in the same manner as Base Rent. Sublessor shall adjust
Additional Rent on an annual basis in 2006 and 2007 based on the same above
principles. Sublessee shall be liable to Sublessor for the entire cost (as
opposed to Sublessee's Share) of Sublessor's costs of providing any services or
materials exclusively to Sublessee.
3.2.1 Calculation and Payment. Sublessor shall deliver to Sublessee on
or before the first day of March following the end of each year following the
Base Year (an "Expense Year") a statement setting forth (i) the amount Sublessee
paid as Rent for the applicable Expense Year, and (ii) the actual amount of
Sublessee's Share of Operating Expenses for the applicable Expense Year. If the
amount Sublessee paid as Rent for the applicable Expense Year exceeds the actual
amount of Sublessee's Share of Operating Expenses for the applicable Expense
Year, then Sublessor shall credit such difference on Sublessee's next payment(s)
of Rent. If the amount Sublessee paid as Rent for the applicable Expense Year
was less than the actual amount of Sublessee's Share of Operating Expenses for
the applicable Expense Year, then Sublessee shall pay such difference as
Additional Rent to Sublessor on Sublessee's next payment of Rent. Sublessor's
failure to furnish such statement for any Expense Year in a timely manner shall
not prejudice Sublessor from enforcing its rights hereunder. Even if the
Sublease term has expired and Sublessee has vacated the Premises, if an excess
or shortfall exists when the final determination is made, Sublessee shall
immediately pay or receive a credit of such excess or shortfall.
3.2.2 Items Included in Operating Expenses. Except as otherwise set
forth herein, the term "Operating Expenses" includes all expenses, costs, and
amounts of every kind that Sublessor pays or incurs during any Expense Year

insurance procured by Sublessor or Sublessee, covering direct or indirect
property loss, shall include a waiver of subrogation clause in favor of the
other party as the case may be.
8. UTILITIES. Sublessor and Sublessee agree that the Corporate Campus (including
the buildings located thereon) is already connected for sewer, water, gas, and
electricity. Subject to Sublessee's obligations to pay Sublessee's Share of the
cost Sublessor incurs in supplying utilities to the common areas, Sublessee
shall pay all utility expenses incurred by Sublessee in connection with
Sublessee's use of the Premises (collectively, "Sublessee's Utility Expenses").
In the event utility service is interrupted to the Premises due to the need for
maintenance and
7
repair to the utility lines, Sublessor shall immediately commence restoration
and repairs of the lines and conduits in order that said utility service shall
be resumed at the earliest possible time. If Sublessor shall fail to make such
repairs after written notice from Sublessee, Sublessee may do so at Sublessor's
expense. Additionally, should there be an interruption in the utilities for more

until the utilities are restored.
9. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. Structural portions of the Premises, including the
roof, foundation, exterior walls and load bearing interior walls, shall be
maintained and repaired by Sublessor except to the extent repairs are made
necessary by the acts of Sublessee. Except for the repairs and maintenance

maintain and keep the entire Premises including all partitions, doors, ceiling,
fixtures, equipment and appurtenances thereof in good order, condition and
repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted at the sole expense of Sublessee. To
the extent an HVAC system serves the Premises exclusively, Sublessee shall be
responsible for maintaining an HVAC service contract for routine filter changing
and general upkeep. Sublessor may disapprove the contractor, provided however,
its approval may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
10. COMMON AREA MAINTENANCE. Sublessor shall keep the common area in good repair
during the term or extension thereof, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
11. ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS. Sublessee shall have the right at any time
throughout the term of this Sublease and any extensions hereof, to make or cause
to be made, any alterations, additions, or improvements, or install or cause to
be installed any trade fixture, signs, floor covering, interior or exterior
painting or lighting, plumbing fixtures, shades or awnings, as Sublessee may
deem necessary or suitable with Sublessor's prior written approval, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed so long as the requested
improvements do not violate the terms and conditions of the Master Lease
Agreement. Upon the expiration of the Initial Term of this Sublease, Sublessee
shall have the option to remove such alterations, decorations, additions or
improvements made by it, provided any damage to Premises resulting from such
removal is repaired. Also, upon the expiration of the Initial Term of this
Sublease, Sublessee if requested by Sublessor shall remove any signs and repair
any damages to the Premises resulting from such removal. During the term,
Sublessee shall not make any alterations, additions, improvements, non-cosmetic
changes or other material changes to the Premises without the prior written
approval of Sublessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed so long as the request does not violate the terms and conditions of the
Master Lease Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublessee shall be
permitted to make Minor Alterations (as defined below) without Sublessor's prior
written consent. Minor Alterations, as used herein, shall be defined as any
alterations, improvements, etc. made to the Premises (excluding the facade
thereof) which do not affect the structure of the buildings, their systems or
equipment. If Sublessor approves any alterations, additions, improvements, etc.,
Sublessor shall notify Sublessee, in writing, along with Sublessor's approval
notice, of whether Sublessee shall, upon termination of this Sublease, either:
(i) remove any such alterations or additions and repair any damage to the
Premises (or the buildings in which the Premises are located) occasioned by
their installation or removal and restore the Premises to substantially the same
condition as existed prior to the time when any such alterations or
8
additions were made, or (ii) reimburse Sublessor for the cost of removing such
alterations or additions and the restoration of the Premises.
12. FIRE OR CASUALTY. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises or
the use, occupancy or access to or of the Premises shall be destroyed in whole
or in part by fire or other casualty, Sublessee may in its reasonable discretion
terminate this Sublease. If less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises
shall be destroyed in whole or in part by fire or casualty, the Rent due during
the remainder of the Sublease term shall be reduced in proportion to the area
destroyed, effective on the date of the casualty. Within thirty (30) days after
the date of a fire or other casualty, Sublessor must inform Sublessee if the
Premises and the buildings in which the Premises are located will be rebuilt. If
the Premises is to be rebuilt and Sublessee elects not to terminate the
Sublease, the Premises (including the office buildings in which the Premises are
located, must be rebuilt and ready for occupancy within ninety (90) days of date
of fire or other casualty. Sublessor and Sublessee agree and covenant that
neither shall be liable to the other for loss arising out of damage to or
destruction of the Premises or contents thereof when such loss is caused by any
perils included within, and covered by, standard fire and extended coverage
insurance policy of the state of Florida. This Sublease shall be binding whether
or not such damage or destruction is caused by negligence of either party or
their agents, employees or visitors. Sublessor agrees to carry fire and extended
coverage to the extent required by its lender, and if there is no lender, in an
amount satisfactory to Sublessor.
13. EMINENT DOMAIN. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises (or
the use, occupancy or access to or of the Premises) shall be taken or condemned
by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority for any public or
quasi-public use or purpose (including sale under threat of such a taking), or
if the owner elects to convey title to the condemnor by a deed in lieu of
condemnation, then Sublessee may in its discretion terminate the Sublease and be
relieved from further liability hereunder. If less than twenty -five percent
(25%) of the Premises (or the use, occupancy or access to or of the Premises)
shall be taken or condemned by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority
for any public or quasi-public use or purpose (including sale under threat of
such a taking), or if Sublessee elects not to terminate this Sublease, the Rent
due during the remainder of the Sublease term shall be reduced in proportion to
the area taken, effective on the date physical possession is taken by the
condemning authority; provided, however, that in the event Sublessee cannot
reasonably operate its business at the Premises due to such partial taking,
Sublessee shall be permitted to terminate this Sublease by written notice to
Sublessor.
14. SUBLESSEE'S DEFAULT.
14.1 Any other provisions in this Sublease notwithstanding, it shall be an
event of default ("Event of Default") under this Sublease if: (i) Sublessee
fails to pay any installment of rent or any other sum payable by Sublessee
hereunder when due and such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days
after written notice from Sublessor to Sublessee that such payment has not been
received, or (ii) Sublessee fails to observe or perform any other material
covenant or agreement of Sublessee herein contained and such failure continues
after written notice given by or on behalf of Sublessor to Sublessee for more
than thirty (30) days, provided, however, that if such non-monetary Event of
Default by Sublessee cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day
period, and provided further that Sublessee is proceeding with due diligence to
effect a
9
cure of said Event of Default, no Event of Default hereunder shall be declared
by Sublessor if Sublessee continues to proceed with diligence to cure said Event
of Default, but in no event shall such cure period extend beyond ninety (90)
days following notice from Sublessor of such violation, default or breach, or
(iii) Sublessee files a petition commencing a voluntary case, or has filed
against it a petition commencing an involuntary case, under the Federal
Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code), as now or hereafter in
effect, or under any similar law, or files or has filed against it a petition or
answer in bankruptcy or for reorganization or for an arrangement pursuant to any
state bankruptcy law or any similar state law, and, in the case of any such
involuntary action, such action shall not be dismissed, discharged or denied
within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof, or Sublessee consents or
acquiesces in the filing thereof, or (iv) a custodian, receiver, trustee or
liquidator of Sublessee or of all or substantially all of Sublessee's property
or of the Premises shall be appointed in any proceedings brought by or against
Sublessee and, in the latter case, such entity shall not be discharged within
sixty (60) days after such appointment or Sublessee consents to or acquiesces in
such appointment, or (v) Sublessee shall generally not pay Sublessee's debts as
such debts become due, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors,
or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they
become due. The notice and grace period provisions in clauses (i) and (ii) above
shall have no application to the Events of Default referred to in clauses (iii)
through (v) above.
14.2 If Sublessee shall fail to make any payment of rent when due or if
Sublessee shall fail to keep and perform any express written covenant of this
Sublease and shall continue in default for a period of ten (10) days after
Sublessee has received written notice of such default and demand of performance
from Sublessor, Sublessor may commence judicial proceedings, provided, however,
if any default shall occur (other than in the payment of rent) which cannot be
cured within a period of thirty (30) days and Sublessee, prior to the expiration
of thirty (30) days from and after the giving of notice as aforesaid, commences
to eliminate such default and proceeds diligently to take steps to cure the
same, Sublessor shall not have the right to declare the term ended by reason
thereof for an additional period of sixty (60) days.
14.3 In the event of any such Event of Default, Sublessor at any time
thereafter may at its option exercise any remedies available to Sublessor at law
or in equity, including, without limitation, one or more of the following
remedies:
(i) Termination of Sublease. Sublessor may terminate this Sublease, by
written notice to Sublessee, without any right by Sublessee to reinstate its
rights by payment of rent due or other performance of the terms and conditions
hereof. Upon such termination Sublessee shall immediately surrender possession
of the Premises to Sublessor, and Sublessor shall immediately become entitled to
receive from Sublessee an amount equal to the difference between the aggregate
of all rent reserved under this Sublease for the balance of the Initial Term or
Renewal Term, as the case may be, and the fair rental value of the Premises for
that period, determined as of the date of such termination, and reduced by the
amount Sublessor may obtain upon reletting, discounted to present value at the
rate of ten percent (10%).
(ii) Reletting. With or without terminating this Sublease, as
Sublessor may elect, Sublessor may, by summary proceedings, re-enter and
repossess the Premises, or any part thereof, and lease them to any other person
upon such terms as Sublessor shall deem reasonable, for a term within or beyond
the term of this Sublease; provided, that any such reletting prior to
10
termination shall be for the account of Sublessee, and Sublessee shall remain
liable for (i) all rent and other sums which would be payable under this
Sublease by Sublessee in the absence of such expiration, termination or
repossession, less (ii) the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting effected for
the account of Sublessee after deducting from such proceeds all of Sublessor's
actual expenses, attorneys' fees, employees' expenses, reasonable alteration
costs, expenses of preparation for such reletting and all other actual costs and
expenses incurred as a result of Sublessee's breach of this Sublease. Sublessor
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises. If the Premises
are at the time of default sublet or leased by Sublessee to others, Sublessor
may, as Sublessee's agent, collect rents due from any subtenant or other tenant
and apply such rents to the rent and other amounts due hereunder without in any
way affecting Sublessee's obligation to Sublessor hereunder.
(iii) Injunction. In the event of breach by either party of any
provision of this Sublease, the other party shall have the right of injunction
and the right to invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity in addition to
other remedies provided for herein.
(iv) No Exclusive Right. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to Sublessor or Sublessee is intended to be exclusive of any other
right or remedy herein or by law provided, but each shall be cumulative and in
addition to every other right or remedy given herein or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute.
(v) Expenses. In the event that either Sublessor or Sublessee
exercises any of the remedies provided herein, the wrongful party shall pay to
the other all actual expenses incurred in connection therewith, including
reasonable attorneys' fees.
15. SUBLESSOR'S DEFAULT. If Sublessor shall be in default or shall fail or
refuse to perform or comply with any of his obligations under this Sublease and
shall continue in default for a period of thirty (30) days after Sublessee has
given Sublessor written notice of such default and demand of performance,
Sublessee may remedy the same and deduct the cost thereof from subsequent
installments of rent or terminate the Sublease and recover from Sublessor any
and all damages Sublessee may have incurred due to such default or failure. Upon
any default by Sublessor under this Sublease, Sublessee may, except as otherwise
specifically provided in this Sublease to the contrary, exercise any of its
rights provided at law or in equity.
16. ASSIGNMENT AND SUB-LETTING. Sublessee shall not have the right to assign,
sublet, transfer, or encumber this Sublease or its rights hereunder or any part
thereof at any time without the Sublessor's prior written consent, except for
the Permitted Transfers (defined below). A "Permitted Transfer" means an
assignment or sublet to (i) any entity controlled by, controlling, or under
common control with Sublessee (a "Sublessee Affiliate") or a Sublessee
Affiliate, or (ii) any entity with which Sublessee or a Sublessee Affiliate may
merge or consolidate, which acquires all or substantially all of the assets or
shares of stock of Sublessee or a Sublessee Affiliate, or (iii) any entity that
is the successor in the event of a reorganization. In instances other than
Permitted Transfers, Sublessor agrees not to withhold or delay its written
consent if to do so would be commercially unreasonable so long as the proposed
assignment or sublet does not violate the terms and conditions of the Master
Lease Agreement. In the event of any assignment of this Sublease by Sublessee,
Sublessee shall not be and is not relieved of any liability under any and all of
its covenants and obligations contained in or derived from this
11
Sublease arising out of any act, occurrence or omission occurring after said
assignment; provided, however that the Sublessee's assignee assumes all
obligations of Sublessee hereunder and attorns to Sublessor for such
obligations. Sublessor may assign this Sublease in connection with the sale or
financing of the Demised Premises provided that (i) no such assignment may
impose upon Sublessee any obligations greater than set forth in the Sublease;
and (ii) Sublessor gives notice to Sublessee within thirty (30) days following
the effective date of the assignment which contains the assignee's name,
address, telephone number, and the name of the individual handling the affairs
relating to this Sublease. Any rents received by Sublessor hereunder, which in
fact belong to the assignee of Sublessor, shall be held in trust by Sublessor
and forwarded immediately to the assignee of Sublessor. In the event of any
assignment or sublease, Sublessee shall remain responsible for the payment of
rent and for the performance of all terms, covenants and conditions undertaken
by Sublessee pursuant to this Sublease unless otherwise agreed to by Sublessor
in writing.
17. HOLDING OVER. In the event Sublessee remains in possession of the Premises
after the expiration of the Initial Term or a Renewal Term without executing a
new Sublease, Sublessee shall occupy the Premises from month to month at a
rental rate of 150% of the applicable rental rate during the last month of the
term, subject to all of the covenants of this Sublease insofar as consistent
with such a tenancy. The provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to limit
or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Sublessor provided
herein or at law.
18. SIGNAGE. Sublessor and Sublessee hereby agree that Sublessee shall retain,
throughout the term of the Sublease, the signage rights on the exterior of
Building V, as well as joint signage rights with Sublessor to the monument
signage at Riverside Avenue, the directory and the suite entry signage.
Sublessor and Sublessee agree that the only other signage that may appear on the
exterior of Building V (or any other buildings or properties that may become a
part of or otherwise included in this Sublease) and on the exterior monument
signage during the term hereof shall be that of Sublessor or Sublessee.
Sublessor and Sublessee agree that, other than the addition of Sublessee's name
to the exterior of Building V, any proposed change of the monument and building
signage from that existing on the Commencement Date of this Sublease shall
require the mutual agreement of both Sublessor and Sublessee. If the parties are
unable to reach agreement on any such proposed change to the monument or
building signage, then the matter shall be referred to (i) so long as the
Executive Chairman of each of Landlord and Tenant are the same individual, to
the Executive Chairman, (ii) if the Executive Chairman of each of Landlord and
Tenant are not the same individual, then to the Chief Executive Officers of each
of Landlord and Tenant.
19. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Sublessor and Sublessee agree to indemnify and hold
harmless the other from any and all claims, damages, fines, judgments,
penalties, costs, liabilities or losses (including, without limitation, any and
all sums paid for settlement of claims, attorneys fees, consultant and expert
fees) arising during or after the sublease term from or in connection with the
presence or suspected presence of hazardous substances in, on or beneath the
Premises, unless the hazardous substances are present as the result of
negligence, willful misconduct or other acts of the party otherwise so
indemnified, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees. Without limitation
of the foregoing, this indemnification shall include any and all costs incurred
due to any investigation by a federal, state or local agency or political
subdivision, unless the hazardous substances are present solely as the result of
negligence, willful misconduct or other
12
acts of the party otherwise so indemnified, its agents, employees, contractors
or invitees. This indemnification shall specifically include any and all costs
due to hazardous substances which flow, diffuse, migrate or percolate into, onto
or under the Premises after the Commencement Date. Each of the parties agrees to
comply with all laws, codes, rules, and regulations of the United States and the
State of Florida. Sublessee agrees that it will not store, keep, use, sell,
dispose of or offer for sale in, upon or from the Premises any article or
substance which may be prohibited by any insurance policy in force from time to
time covering the buildings in which the Premises are located, nor shall
Sublessee keep, store, produce or dispose of on, in or from the Premises or the
buildings in which the Premises are located any substance which may be deemed a
hazardous substance or infectious waste under any state, local or federal rule,
statute, law, regulation or ordinance as may be promulgated or amended from time
to time. As used herein, "hazardous substance" means any substance which is
toxic, ignitable, reactive, or corrosive and which is regulated by any local
government, the state in which the Premises is located, or the United States
government or poses a threat to human health or the environment, and includes
any and all material and substances which are defined as "hazardous waste",
"toxic substances" or a "hazardous substance" pursuant to state, federal or
local governmental law, including, but not restricted to, asbestos,
polychlorobiphenyls and petroleum.
20. AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT. Each of Sublessor and Sublessee represents
and warrants that any alterations, modifications, upfit or construction
performed by it shall be performed in compliance with the ADA.
21. SUBORDINATION. Subject to the covenant given by Sublessor in this paragraph
to obtain nondisturbance and attornment agreements with any mortgage or
beneficiary of a deed of trust encumbering the property, Sublessee agrees that
this Sublease is and shall remain subject and subordinate to any mortgage given
by Sublessor on the property or the buildings in which the Premises are located,
and Sublessor's interest in this Sublease may be assigned as security for any
present and future mortgages or deeds of trust attaching the property and all
renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions thereof. However, Sublessor
shall enter only into financing and mortgage agreements which allow Sublessee to
retain its leasehold interest in the Premises provided Sublessee is not in
default under this Sublease and which obligates Sublessee to abide by all the
terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease in the event the mortgagee
takes title to the Premises through foreclosure or accepts a deed in lieu of
foreclosure. At any time and from time to time upon not less than fifteen (15)
days' prior notice by Sublessor to Sublessee, Sublessee shall, without charge,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Sublessor a statement prepared by Sublessor,
in a form for Sublessee to fill in and sign, certifying whether (i) this
sublease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been
modifications, whether the same is in full force and effect as modified and
stating the modifications), (ii) the Term has commenced and Base Rent and
Additional Rent have become payable hereunder and, if so, the dates to which
they have been paid, (iii) whether or not, to the knowledge of the signer of
such certificate, Sublessor is in default in performance of any of the terms of
this Sublease and, if so, specifying each such default of which the signer may
have knowledge, (iv) Sublessee has accepted possession of the Premises, (v)
Sublessee has made any claim against Sublessor under this Sublease and, if so,
the nature thereof and the dollar amount, if any, of such claim, (vi) Sublessee
then claims any offsets or defenses against enforcement of any of the terms of
this Sublease upon the part of Sublessee to be performed, and, if so, specifying
the same, and (vii) such further information with respect to the Sublease or the
Premises as Sublessor may
13
reasonably request. Any such statement delivered pursuant hereto may be relied
upon by any prospective purchaser of the Premises or any part thereof or of the
interest of Sublessor in any part thereof, by any mortgagee or prospective
mortgagee thereof, by any lessor or prospective lessor thereof, by any lessee or
prospective lessee thereof, or by any prospective assignee of any mortgage
thereof.
22. ATTORNEY'S FEES. In connection with any litigation arising out of this
Sublease, the prevailing party, Sublessee or Sublessor, shall be entitled to
recover all costs incurred, including reasonable attorney's fees.
23. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. Neither party is liable to the other for under this
sublease for any special, incidental, punitive or consequential damages of any
kind or nature, including, without limitation, any lost profits or loss of
business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Sublessor is not liable for
flood water damage unless Sublessor is grossly negligent or willful misconduct.
Sublessor shall not be liable to Sublessee or to Sublessee's employees, agents
or invitees, or to any other person or entity, whomsoever, for any injury to
person or damage to or loss of property on or about the Premises or the common
area caused by the negligence, acts or omissions, or misconduct of Sublessee,
its employees, or of any other person entering the buildings in which the
Premises are located under the express or implied invitation of Sublessee, or
arising out of the use of the Subleased Premises by Sublessee and the conduct of
its business therein, or arising out of any breach or default by Sublessee in
the performance of its obligations under this Sublease or resulting from any
other cause whatsoever, except Sublessor's gross negligence; and Sublessee
hereby agrees to indemnify Sublessor and hold it harmless from any loss, cost,
expense or claims arising out of any such damage or injury.
24. SERVICES PROVIDED BY SUBLESSOR.

they pertain to the Premises. This may include, but not be limited to, proper
display of security badges, maintaining accurate employee access rosters, and

agrees to provide Sublessee with the same security services that Sublessor
provides throughout the Corporate Campus, subject to Sublessee's compliance with
Sublessor's security procedures and subject to Sublessee's obligation to pay
Sublessee's share of the cost thereof.
