by reason of such default, and also any and all damages to the Demised Premises
caused by any act or neglect of the Tenant.

additional rent to Landlord, as the same shall become due and payable and before

charges, and charges of every kind and nature whatsoever, nonrecurring as well
as recurring, special or extraordinary as well as ordinary, foreseen and
unforeseen, and each and every installment thereof, which shall or may during
the term of the Lease be levied, assessed or imposed, or become due and payable
or become liens upon, or arise in connection with the use, occupancy or
possession of, or any interest in, the Demised Premises, or upon the rents,
issues, income and profits therefrom so as to prevent the same from becoming or
being an enforceable lien or claim against the property or the interest of
Landlord ("Expenses"). Landlord shall apply such payment by Tenant to the
payment of such Expenses, but in no event shall Landlord be required to pay such
Expenses early or during discount periods. Such Expenses shall include all real
estate taxes, assessments, water and sewer charges which may become liens upon
the Demised Premises or any part thereof. If Landlord requests Tenant to pay
such Expenses other than to Landlord, Tenant will furnish or cause to be
furnished to Landlord not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which
payment of the same would become delinquent, or subject to penalty or interest,
receipts or other evidence satisfactory to Landlord of the payment of all such
Expenses. If Landlord requests in writing, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, or as
Landlord may direct, such Expenses in advance in installments as estimated and
determined by Landlord, and deposited with Landlord, or as directed by Landlord,
for payment of all such Expenses when the same may become due and payable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be responsible for gross
receipts or other income taxes incurred by Landlord on the rents received
hereunder unless it is imposed in lieu of another charge for which Tenant is
responsible hereunder.
If the tenant deems excessive or illegal any such Expenses, with the
written consent of the Landlord, the Tenant may make payment under protest. Any
contest, whether before or after payment, may be made in the name of the
Landlord or the Tenant or both, with the written consent of the Landlord. If
requested by Tenant, Landlord may, but shall not be required to participate in
any such contest, but the Tenant shall be entitled to any refund of any such
Expenses, and any penalty or interest thereon which may have been paid by the
Tenant, but all costs in connection with such contest shall be borne by the
Tenant.
In case of failure of the Tenant to make any of the payments to be
made by Tenant for such Expenses, the Landlord may, but shall not be required
to, pay the amount of same, with penalty and interest thereon, if any. The
amount so paid by the Landlord, with interest thereon from the date of payment
thereof by the Landlord, shall be added to and become a part of the next
installment of rent.
If at any time during the term of this Lease the methods of taxation
prevailing at the commencement of the term hereof shall be altered so that in
lieu of or as a supplement to or a substitute for the whole or any part of the
real estate taxes or assessments now levied, assessed or imposed (1) a tax,
assessment, levy, imposition or charge, wholly or partially as a capital levy or
otherwise, on the rents received therefrom or (2) a tax, assessment, levy
(including but not limited to any municipal, state or federal levy), imposition
or charge measured by or based in whole or in part upon the premises and imposed
upon the Landlord, or (3) a license fee measured by the rent payable under this
Lease, then all such taxes, assessments, levies or impositions and charges, or
the part thereof so measured or based shall be deemed to be included in the
general real estate taxes and assessments payable by the Tenant pursuant hereto
the extent that such taxes, assessments, levies, impositions and charges would
be payable if the premises were the only property of the Landlord subject
thereto, and the Tenant shall pay and discharge the same as herein provided in
respect of the payment of general real estate taxes and assessments.

or hereafter erected upon the Demised Premises, together with Chattels therein,
insured for the benefit of Landlord against loss by fire and other causalities
and hazards usually covered by extended coverage insurance in an amount not less
than the replacement value of the Demised Premises (excluding foundations and
other parts below parts below the surface of the lowest floor), as determined
not more than once annually by an appraiser or rating bureau satisfactory to
Landlord. Tenant agrees that it will, throughout the Demised Term, pay and
discharge as additional rent, the cost incurred by Landlord in insuring the
Demised Premises as above stated. Insurance premiums at the beginning and end of
the term shall be apportioned. It is expressly understood and agreed that if for
any reason attributable to Tenant it shall be impossible to obtain Fire
insurance on the building and improvements on the Demised Premises in an amount
and in the form and with fire insurance companies acceptable to the Landlord,
the Landlord may, if the Landlord elects, (a) terminate this Lease and the term
thereof on giving to the Tenant fifteen (15) days' notice in writing of
Landlord's intention so to do and upon the giving of such notice this lease and
the terms thereof, shall terminate and come to an end; (b) compute the
additional costs for such insurance over and above the standard cost as if the
condition attributable to Tenant did not exist and Tenant shall be obligated to
pay all of such additional cost.

policy shall be furnished to Landlord and Landlord's first mortgagee.
Tenant at its own cost and expense will provide and keep in force
during the Demised Term of this Lease commercial general liability insurance
covering at least the hazards of "premises-operations", "elevators" (if
applicable) and "independent contractors", in which Landlord shall be included
as a named insured, in such other limits of liability as may be required by
landlord from time to time, but not less than One Million Dollars
($1,000,000.00) combined single limit, with a deductible not to exceed Five
Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00). Such insurance shall cover not only the Demised
Premises but shall also include all elevators, hoists, hallways, entranceways,
stairs or any other common areas (exterior or interior), streets, driveways,
alleys, lawns, parking and loading areas, sidewalks and curbs adjacent thereto.
All such policies shall contain provision for notice to the said
Landlord not less than ten (10) days in advance of any cancellation or material
change of such policy. In case of failure of the Tenant to make premium payments
when due, the Landlord may pay the amount of any such premiums, which amount
with interest thereon from the date of payment by Landlord shall be added to and
become part of the next installment of rent.
Copies of renewal policies or certificates for any insurance required
under this Paragraph shall be deposited by Tenant with Landlord at least ten
(10) days prior to the expiration of existing policies, and upon failure so to
do Landlord may immediately purchase, for the account of Tenant, the necessary
insurance from any reputable insurance company without notice to Tenant, and
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for cost thereof within ten (10) days after
demand.
All insurance required hereunder shall be issued by companies licensed
to do business in Florida and acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall have the
right to carry the insurance provided for in this Paragraph, or any portions of
such insurance under a blanket or comprehensive all-risks policy.

(a) In the event that the Demised Premises is totally destroyed or so
damaged by fire or other casualty not occurring through fault or negligence of
the Tenant or those employed by or acting for him, that, in Landlord's judgment,
the same cannot be repaired or restored within one hundred eighty (180) days,

Demised Premises for that purpose. The Landlord also reserves the right to enter
upon the Demised Premises whenever necessary to repair damage caused by fire or
other casualty to the building of which the Demised Premises is a part, even

thereof untenantable. In either event the rent shall be apportioned and
suspended during the time the Landlord is in possession, taking into account the
portion of the Demised Premises rendered untenantable and the duration of the
Landlord's possession. If a dispute arises as to the amount of rent due under
this clause, Tenant agrees to pay the full amount claimed by Landlord. Tenant
shall, however, have the right to proceed by law to recover the excess payment,
if any.

the Demised Premises within said thirty (30) day period, if the mortgagee
chooses to accelerate the mortgage due to damage by fire or other casualty to
the Demised Premises or the building of which the Demised Premises is a part,
Landlord shall have the right to rescind and/or cancel said election to repair
and shall have the right to elect not to repair the damaged to the Demised
Premises or the building of which the Demised Premises is a part, provided said
notification of election not to repair is given to Tenant within thirty (30)
days after date of the receipt of said notice of acceleration.
(e) Landlord shall not be liable for any damage, compensation or claim
by reason of inconvenience or annoyance arising from the necessity of repairing

14. MISCELLANEOUS AGREEMENTS AND CONDITIONS.
(a) NON-WAIVER BY LANDLORD OR TENANT. The failure of the Landlord or
Tenant to insist upon strict performance of any of the covenants or conditions
to this Lease, or to exercise any option herein conferred in any one or more
instances, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future
of any such covenants or conditions of this Lease or option, but the same shall
be and remain in full force and effect.
(b) ACCORD AND SATISFACTION. No payment by Tenant or receipt by
Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly rent herein stipulated shall be
deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated rent, nor shall
any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check
or payment as rent 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 herein.
(c) JURISDICTION AND LAW. Tenant hereby subjects itself to the
jurisdiction of the Court of Brevard County, Florida. The laws of the State of
Florida shall be applicable to this lease and any interpretations thereof.
(d) The Landlord has let the Demised Premises, with the Building and
Improvements as required by Paragraph 5, and without any representations on the
part of Landlord, his officers, employees, servants and/or agents.
15. REMEDIES OF LANDLORD. If the Tenant:
(a) Does not pay within ten (10) days after it is due and all
installments of rent and/or any other charge or payment herein reserved,
included, or agreed to be treated or collected as rent and/or any other charge,
expense, or cost herein agreed to be paid by the Landlord; or
(b) Violates or fails to perform or otherwise breaks any non-monetary
covenant or agreement herein contained which is not corrected in compliance
within thirty (30) days after the notice; or
(c) Vacates the Demised Premises or removes or attempts to remove or
manifests an intention to remove any goods or property therefrom otherwise than
in the ordinary and usual course of business without having first paid and
satisfied the Landlord in full for all rent and other charges then due; or
(d) Files or has filed against it (and if against not dismissed in
thirty (30) days) a petition under Xxxxx 00, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code, Bankruptcy, as
now or hereafter amended or supplemented, whether under Chapter 7, 11 or 13 of
the aforesaid Bankruptcy Code; or if there is the commencement of any action or
proceeding under state or federal law for the dissolution or liquidation of the
Tenant in connection with bankruptcy or other insolvency, whether instituted by
or against (and if against not dismissed in thirty (30) days) the Tenant or for
the appointment of a receiver or trustee of all or substantially all of the
property of the Tenant; or if there is the taking of possession of the property
of the Tenant by any governmental officer or agency pursuant to statutory
authority for the dissolution, rehabilitation, reorganization or liquidation of
the Tenant; or if there is the making by the Tenant of an assignment for the
benefit of creditors;
Then and in any of said events, there shall be deemed to be a breach
of this Lease, and thereupon Landlord shall have the following rights:
(1) To accelerate the whole or any part of the Basic Rent and
additional rent (sometimes collectively referred to herein as "Rent") and other
charges, payments, costs and expenses herein agreed to be paid by Tenant for the
entire unexpired balance of the term of this Lease, and any Rent, other charges,
payments, costs and expenses if so accelerated shall, in addition to any and all
installments of Rent already due and payable and in arrears, and/or any other
charge, expense or cost herein agreed to be paid by Tenant which may be due and
payable and in arrears, be deemed due and payable as if, by the terms and
provisions of this Lease, such accelerated Rent and other charges, payments,
costs and expenses were on that date payable in advance, provided, however, that
Landlord agrees it will not exercise this remedy unless Tenant is in arrears for
a total of three (3) monthly installments of Base Rent under the Lease.
(2) To enter the Demised Premises and without further demand or notice
proceed to distrain and sell the goods, chattels and personal property there
found, to levy the Rent and Tenant shall pay all costs and officers'
commissions, including watchmen's wages and sums chargeable to Landlord, and in
such case all costs, officers' commissions and other charges shall immediately
attach and become part of the claim of Landlord for Rent, and any tender of rent
without said costs, commissions and charges made, after the issuance of a
warrant of distress, shall not be sufficient to satisfy the claim of Landlord.
(3) To re-enter the Demised Premises and remove all persons and all or
any property therefrom, either by summary dispossess proceedings or by any
suitable action or proceeding at law, without being liable to indictment,
prosecution or damages therefor, and repossess and enjoy the Demised Premises,
together with all alterations, fixtures, signs and other installations of
Tenant. Upon recovering possession of the Demised Premises by reason of or based
upon or arising out of a default on the part of Tenant, Landlord may, at
Landlord's option, either terminate this Lease or make such alterations and
repairs as may be necessary in order to relet the Demised Premises and relet the
Demised Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in Landlord's name or
otherwise, for a term or terms which may at Landlord's option be less than or
exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term
of this Lease and at such rent or rents and upon such other terms and conditions
as in Landlord's sole discretion may seem advisable and to such person or
persons as may in Landlord's discretion seem best; upon each such reletting all
rents received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied: first, to the
payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to
Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting,
including brokerage fees and attorney's fees and all costs of such alterations
and repairs; third, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the
residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent
as it may become due and payable hereunder. If such rentals received from such
reletting during any month shall be less than that to be paid during that month
by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord. Such
deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking
possession of the Demised Premises or the making of alterations and/or
improvements thereto or the reletting thereof shall be construed as an election
on the part of Landlord to terminate this Lease unless written notice of such
intention be given to Tenant. Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way
whatsoever for failure to relet the Demised Premises or, in the event that the
Demised Premises or any part or parts thereof are relet, for failure to collect
the rent thereof under such reletting. Tenant, for Tenant and Tenant's successor
and assigns, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Landlord as Tenant's
and Landlord's agent to collect the rents due and to become due under all
subleases of the Demised Premises or any parts thereof without in any way
affecting Tenant's obligation to pay any unpaid balance of Rent due or to become
due hereunder. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord
may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous
breach.
(4) To terminate this Lease and the term hereby created without any
right on the part of Tenant to waive the forfeiture by payment of any sum due or
by other performance of any condition, term or covenant broken. Whereupon
Landlord shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any and all sums and
damages for violation of Tenant's obligations hereunder in existence at the time
of such termination, damages for Tenant's default in an amount equal to the
greater of (i) amount of the Rent reserved for the balance of the Demised Term,
as well as all other charges, payments, costs and expenses herein agreed to be
paid by Tenant, also discounted at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum to
its then present worth or (ii) three (3) months' rent, all of which amount shall
be immediately due and payable from Tenant to Landlord as liquidated damages.
16. RIGHT TO INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. In the event of a breach or threatened
breach by Tenant of any of the covenants or provisions hereof, Landlord shall
have the right of injunction and the right to invoke any remedy allowed at law
or in equity, as if re-entry, summary proceedings and other remedies were not
herein provided for.
17. RIGHTS NOT EXCLUSIVE. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to Landlord 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.
18. WAIVERS BY TENANT. Tenant expressly waives the right to delay execution
on any real estate that may be levied upon to collect any amount which may
become due under the terms and conditions of this Lease and any right to have
the same appraised. Tenant agrees that said real estate may be sold on a writ of
execution or other process.
19. CALCULATIONS OF AMOUNTS DUE. For the purpose of calculating the
accelerated Rent payable under paragraph (1) of Paragraph 15(d) of this Article
and the "Rent reserved for the balance of the term" of this Lease for the
purposes of Paragraph (4) of Paragraph 15(d) of this Article, the amount payable
as Tenant's share of real estate taxes, Tenant's share of the cost of insurance
on the Demised Premises and Tenant's share of common area maintenance expenses
and any other charges for which Tenant is responsible hereunder for the balance
of the term hereof shall be equal to the sum of the highest amount paid or
payable by Tenant in any calendar year for each of the foregoing items
multiplied by the number of calendar years (including any fractional calendar
year) remaining in the term of this Lease.
20. RIGHT OF ASSIGNEE OF LANDLORD. The right to pursue the remedies herein
provided against Tenant and to enforce all of the other provisions of this Lease
may, at the option of any assignee of this Lease, be exercised by any assignee
of the Landlord's right, title and interest in this Lease in his, her or their
own name, any statute, rule of court, custom or practice to the contrary
notwithstanding.
21. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. All of the remedies hereinbefore given to Landlord
and all rights and remedies given to it by law and equity shall be cumulative
and concurrent. No termination of this Lease or the taking or recovering of the
Demised Premises shall deprive Landlord of any of its remedies or actions
against Tenant for rent or sums due at the time or which, under the terms
hereof, would in the future become due as if there has been no termination; nor
shall the bringing of any action for rent or breach of covenant, or the resort
to any other remedy herein provided for the recovery of rent be construed as a
waiver of the right to obtain possession of the premises.
22. CONDEMNATION. If at any time during the Demised Term or any renewal or
extension thereof the Demised Premises, or any portion thereof, be lawfully
condemned or conveyed in lieu or condemnation, the Landlord shall be entitled
to, and shall receive the award or payment therefor, and the Tenant shall
assign, and does hereby assign and transfer to the Landlord such award or
payment as may be made therefor, and in no event and under no circumstances
shall the Tenant be entitled to receive or retain any award or payment of any
part thereof. This Lease shall, as to the part so taken terminate as of the date
title shall vest in the condemnor, and rent shall xxxxx in proportion to the
square feet of the leased space taken or condemned.
23. EXECUTION OF ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. At any time, and from time to time,
upon the written request of Landlord or any first mortgagee, Tenant within
twenty (20) days of the date of such written request agrees to execute and
deliver to Landlord and/or such first mortgagee, without charge and in a form
satisfactory to Landlord and/or such mortgagee, a written statement: (a)
ratifying this Lease; (b) confirming the commencement and expiration date of the
term of this Lease and the minimum annual rental rate payable during the lease
term; (c) certifying that Tenant is in occupancy of the Demised Premises, and
that the Lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified, assigned,
supplemented or amended except by such writings as shall be stated; (d)
certifying that all conditions and agreements under this Lease to be satisfied
or performed by Landlord have been satisfied and performed except as shall be
stated; (e) certifying that Landlord is not in default under the Lease and there
are no defenses or offsets against the enforcement of this Lease by Landlord or
stating the defaults and/or defenses claimed by Tenant; (f) reciting the amount
of advance rent, if any, paid by Tenant and the date to which such rent has been
paid and, if requested by Landlord and/or Mortgagee, agreeing that Tenant shall
not pay rent to Landlord more than thirty days in advance; (g) reciting the
amount of security deposited with Landlord, if any; (h) certifying that Tenant
has no option or right of first refusal to purchase the Demised Premises or
option to extend the term of the Lease (unless specifically set forth to the
contrary in the Lease); (i) if requested by Landlord and/or Mortgagee, agreeing
that the Lease will not be modified without the prior written consent of the
Mortgagee; (j) certifying that tenant will not generate, store, handle or
otherwise deal with any amount of any hazardous substances or hazardous waste
(as defined in federal, state and local law) in or about the Demised Premises,
in excess of those levels or quantities specified for regulatory purposes; (k)
agreeing, if requested by Mortgagee, that Tenant will give Mortgagee such notice
of any default by Landlord and reasonable opportunity to cure such default, not
in excess of thirty (30) days, unless the default cannot be cured within said
time, before exercising Tenant's remedies under the Lease; and (l) any other
information which Landlord or the mortgagee shall require.
24. FAILURE TO EXECUTE ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. The failure of Tenant to
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord and/or any first mortgagee a
statement in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 23 above within the
said twenty (20) day period shall constitute acknowledgment by Tenant which may
be relied upon by any person holding or intending to acquire any interest
whatsoever in the Demised Premises that this Lease has not been assigned,
amended, changed, or modified, is in full force and effect and that the Basic
Rent and additional rent have been duly and fully paid not beyond the respective
due dates immediately preceding the date of the request for such statement and
shall constitute as to any persons entitled to rely on such statements a waiver
of any defaults by Landlord or defenses or offsets against the enforcement of
this Lease by Landlord which may exist prior to the date of the written request,
and Landlord at its option, may treat such failure as a deliberate event of
default.
25. SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT. Tenant agrees:
(a) that, except as hereinafter provided, this Lease is, and all of
Tenant's rights hereunder are and shall always be, subject and subordinate to
any first mortgage ("First Mortgage"); and
(b) That if the holder of any such First Mortgage ("Mortgagee") or if
the purchaser at any foreclosure sale or at any sale under a power of sale
contained in any Mortgage shall at its sole option so request, Tenant will
attorn to, and recognize such mortgagee or purchaser, as the case may be as
Landlord under this Lease for the balance then remaining of the term of this
Lease, subject to all terms of this Lease; and
(c) That the aforesaid provisions shall be self-operative and no
further instrument or document shall be necessary unless required by any such
First Mortgagee or purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
above, any First Mortgagee may at any time subordinate its Mortgage to this
Lease, without Tenant's consent, by notice in writing to Tenant, and thereupon
this Lease shall be deemed prior to such Mortgage without regard to their
respective dates of execution, delivery and/or recording and in that event such
First Mortgagee shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as though
this Lease had been executed and a memorandum thereof recorded prior to the
execution, delivery and recording of the Mortgage and as though this Lease had
been assigned to such First Mortgagee. Should Landlord or any First Mortgagee or
purchaser desire confirmation of either such subordination or such attornment,
as the case may be, Tenant upon written request, and from time to time, will
execute and deliver without charge and in form satisfactory to Landlord, the
First Mortgagee or the purchaser all instruments and/or documents that may be
requested to acknowledge such subordination and/or agreement to attorn, in
recordable form.
(d) Landlord agrees that is shall procure from the mortgagee who has
agreed to provide a commitment for a five-year permanent mortgage on the
Property the mortgagee's consent to a non-disturbance agreement, in form
reasonably satisfactory to Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld. If Landlord is unable to produce said agreement from such mortgagee
prior to the closing of the construction mortgage, then Tenant shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement within five (5) days after receipt of such
advice from Landlord.
Landlord further agrees that it shall use reasonable efforts to obtain
a similar agreement from any successor first mortgagee.
26. FAILURE TO EXECUTE INSTRUMENTS AND DOCUMENTS. In the event Tenant fails
to execute and deliver the instruments and documents as provided for in
Paragraphs 23 and 25 within twenty (20) days after request in writing by
Landlord or such First Mortgagee or purchaser, as the case may be, Tenant does
hereby make, constitute and appoint Landlord or such First Mortgagee or
purchaser, as the case may be, as Tenant's attorney-in-fact and in its name,
place and stead to do so, or Landlord may treat such failure as a deliberate
event of default. The aforesaid power of attorney is given as coupled with an
interest and is irrevocable.
27. QUIET ENJOYMENT; EVICTION BY FORECLOSURE. Tenant, on paying the rent
reserved, and performing all the covenants and conditions hereof, shall at all
times during the Demised Term, peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the
Demised Premises; provided, however, eviction of the Tenant by reason of the
foreclosure of any First Mortgage now or hereafter on the Demised Premises shall
not be construed as a breach of this covenant, nor shall any action by reason
thereof be brought against the Landlord; and provided further, that no eviction
of the Tenant for any reason whatsoever, after the Landlord shall have conveyed
the fee of the Demised Premises shall be construed as a breach of this covenant,
and no action therefor shall be brought against the Landlord.
28. TERMINATION OF LEASE.
It is hereby mutually agreed that either party hereto may terminate this
Lease at the end of the Demised Term or at the end of either option period by
giving to the other party written notice thereof at least 180 days prior
thereto, but in default of such notice, this Lease shall continue upon the same
terms and conditions in force immediately prior to the expiration of the Demised
Term hereof as are herein contained except for Basic Rent which shall be
adjusted to reflect the then current market rates for space comparable to the
Demised Premises as determined by Landlord based upon other of Landlord's rental
properties for Melbourne, Florida, for a further period of one years and so on
from year to year unless or until termination by either party hereto, giving the
other one hundred eighty (180) days written notice for removal previous to
expiration of the then current term; PROVIDED, however, that should this Lease
be continued for a further period under the terms herein-above mentioned, any
allowances given Tenant on the Basic Rent during the original term shall not
extend beyond such original term. In the event that Tenant shall give notice, as
stipulated in this Lease, of intention to vacate the Demised Premises at the end
of the Demised Term, or any renewal or extension thereof, and shall fail or
refuse so to vacate the same on the date designated by such notice, then it is
expressly agreed that Landlord shall have the option either:
(a) To disregard the notice so given as having no effect, in which
case all the terms and conditions of this Lease shall continue thereafter, as
set forth above, with full force precisely as if such notice has not been given,
or
(b) Landlord may, at any time within thirty days after the Demised
Term or any renewal or extension thereof, as aforesaid, give the said Tenant
fifteen (15) days' written notice of his intention to terminate the said Lease;
whereupon the Tenant expressly agrees to vacate said premises at the expiration
of the said fifteen (15) day period.
All powers granted to Landlord by this lease may be exercised and all
obligations imposed upon Tenant by this Lease shall be performed by Tenant as
well during any extension of the Demised Term of this Lease as during the
Demised Term itself.

mechanic's lien or any notice of intention to file a mechanic's lien shall at
any time be filed against the Demised Premises Tenant shall at Tenant's cost,
within fourteen (14) days after knowledge or notice of the filing of any
mechanic's lien cause the same to be removed or discharged of record by payment,
bond, order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise.
(b) LANDLORD'S REMEDY FOR TENANT'S BREACH. If Tenant shall fail to
remove or discharge any mechanic's lien or any notice of intention to file a
mechanic's lien within the prescribed time, then in addition to any other right
or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may, at its option, procure the removal or
discharge of the same by payment or bond or otherwise. Any amount paid by
Landlord for such purpose, together with all legal and other expenses of
Landlord in procuring the removal or discharge or such lien or notice of
intention and together with interest thereon at the highest permissible rate
shall be and become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent,
and in the event of Tenant's failure to pay therefor within fifteen (15) days
after demand, the same shall be added to and be due and payable with the next
month's rent.
(c) NON-CONSENT OF LANDLORD TO FILING OF LIENS. Nothing contained in
this Lease shall be construed as a consent on the part of Landlord to subject
Landlord's estate in the Demised Premises to any lien or liability arising out
of Tenant's use or occupancy of the premises.
31. LEASE CONTAINS ALL AGREEMENTS. It is expressly understood and agreed by
and between the parties hereto that this Lease sets forth all the promises,
agreements, and conditions or understandings between Landlord or his Agent and
Tenant relative to the Demised Premises, and that there are no promises,
agreements, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between them

32. HEIRS AND ASSIGNEES. All rights and liabilities herein given to, or
imposed upon, the respective parties hereto shall extend to and bind the several
and respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of said
parties; and if there shall be more than one Tenant, they shall all be bound
jointly and severally by the terms, covenants and agreements herein, and the

more than one Tenant, any notice required or permitted by the terms of this
Lease may be given by or to any one thereof, and shall have the same force and
effect as if given by or to all thereof. The words "his" and "him" or "its"
wherever stated herein, shall be deemed to refer to the "Landlord" or "Tenant"
whether such Landlord or Tenant be singular or plural and irrespective of
gender. No rights, however, shall inure to the benefit of the assignee of Tenant
unless the assignment to such assignee has been approved by Landlord in writing
as aforesaid.
33. SECURITY DEPOSIT. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

Lease.

withhold any consent required of it under this Lease.
38. SEVERABILITY. If a provision of this Lease Agreement is held invalid,
it is hereby agreed that all valid provisions that are severable from the
invalid provision remain in effect. If a provision in this Lease Agreement is
held invalid in one or more of its applications, the provision remains in effect
in all valid applications.
39. LANDLORD'S LIABILITY. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding,
Landlord's liability for any damages or assessments hereunder shall be limited
solely to Landlord's interest in the Demised Premises or land and building of

Hazardous Materials are required to be used by Tenant in the ordinary course of
its business, Tenant shall send at least five (5) days' advance written notice
to Landlord of the uses of such substances, including any identification of such
substances or materials. Landlord may deny or restrict Tenant's use or manner of
use of such Hazardous Materials in or around the Demised Premises; however,
Landlord's failure to deny or restrict Tenant's use of Hazardous Materials or to
advise Tenant of an objection to Tenant's use or manner of use of same in the
Demised Premises does not indicate Landlord's approval of such use and, in any
event, Tenant shall remain strictly responsible and liable for any and all
consequences, direct or indirect, resulting from the use of such Hazardous
Materials in or around the Demised Premises.
(b) Tenant shall conduct all of its operations at the Premises in
compliance with all federal, state and local statutes (including, but not
limited to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et. seq., as amended by the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986, Pub. L. No. 99-499, 100 Stat. 1613 (October 17,
1986) ("CERCLA"); the Resources Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. Section
6901 et. seq. ("RCRA"), Florida Air and Water Pollution Control Act and
regulations enacted thereunder), ordinances, regulations, orders and
requirements of common law, regarding, but not limited to, (i) discharges to the
air, soil, surface or groundwater; and (ii) handling, utilizing, storage,
treatment or disposal of any hazardous substances or toxic substances as defined
therein ("Environmental Statues"). Tenant shall obtain all permits, licenses or
approvals and shall make all notifications and registrations required by
Environmental Statues and shall submit to Landlord, upon request, for inspecting
and copying all documents, permits, licenses, approvals, manifests and records

the Landlord, Landlord's mortgage lender or a governmental agency shall require
testing by an environmental testing entity of its choice, to ascertain whether
there has been a release of Hazardous Materials by Tenant, its agents, servants,
employees or business invitees, in or around the Demised Premises, the
reasonable costs of such testing shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord as
Additional Rent. Tenant shall execute affidavits or representations, at
Landlord's request, stating that, to the best of Tenant's knowledge and belief,
since the time that Tenant took possession of the Demised Premises, there have
been no and there presently are no Hazardous Materials present in the Demised
Premises.
(e) Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify Landlord and to hold Landlord
harmless of, from and against any and all expense, loss, cost, fines, penalties,
loss of value or liability suffered by Landlord by reason of Tenant's breach of
any of the provisions of this section.

Tenant's tenancy or of this Lease.
42. OPTION TO RENEW
Tenant shall have the right to extend the term of this lease for two
(2) additional terms of five (5) years each ("Extended Terms #1 and #2),
commencing (#1) the first day after the Expiration Date and (#2) the first day
after the last day of Extended Term #1 ("Renewal Day"), upon the following terms
and conditions:
a. On or before the day one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the
applicable Renewal Day, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing by certified
mail, return receipt requested, of Tenant's election to extend the term of the
Lease, under the terms and provisions of Paragraph 44 of the Lease;
b. At the time of the exercise of such rights and thereafter until
either Extended Term shall commence, Tenant shall not be in breach of the
performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease, which

OPTION TO PURCHASE.
Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the following options to purchase the
Demised Premises. Said options are personal to Tenant and may not be assigned by
Tenant with or without the assignment of the Lease and are under and subject to
the following terms and conditions:
a. Said options shall be exercised, if at all:
(i) at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the
fifth year of the Demised Term of the Lease, by written notice from
Tenant to Landlord by certified mail at Landlord's last known address
("Option A"); or
(ii) at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the
expiration of the tenth year of the Demised Term of the Lease, with
written notice by Tenant to Landlord by certified mail at Landlord's
last known address ("Option B").
(b) The purchase price for the Demised Premises shall be its fair
market value (but in no event less than the outstanding mortgage
balance against said Property) as determined by appraisal conducted in
the following manner:
(i) Tenant shall include with its notice of exercise of the
option its name, address and qualifications as set forth in paragraph
b(iv) hereof of its nomination for an appraiser.
(ii) Within ten (10) days thereafter, Landlord shall advise
Tenant in writing of the name, address and qualifications as set forth
in paragraph b(iv) hereof its selected appraiser.
(iii) The two appraisers shall select, within the next ten (10)
days, a third appraiser. If the appraisers selected by Tenant and
Landlord are unable to reach an agreement as to the identity of the
third appraiser within said time period, the appraiser shall be
determined in accordance with the procedures established by the
American Arbitration Association for the selection of an arbitrator,
except that the appraiser selected must meet the qualifications for an
appraiser as hereinafter set forth in (b)(iv) hereof.
(iv) In order to qualify as an appraiser in accordance with the
provisions of this paragraph, the appraiser must qualify as an M.A.I.
Appraiser, be licensed as a real estate broker in accordance with the
laws of the State of Florida, which license is in good standing and
has not been revoked, and it must have substantial experience in the
sale and leasing of commercial and industrial real estate in the area
of Melbourne, Florida.
(v) The third appraiser selected shall actually conduct the
appraisal and determine the fair market value. In determining fair
market value, the appraiser shall appraise the building as being
vacant and available for occupancy by a third party.
(vi) Both Landlord and Tenant may submit to the Appraiser such
information as they believe appropriate for the determination of the
appraisal price. The appraiser may or may not hold a meeting of
Landlord's and Tenant's representatives, as such appraiser deems
desirable;
(vii) Within twenty (20) days after his appointment, the
appraiser shall make his determination of the fair market value,
determined in accordance with the foregoing standards. Said decision
shall be final and binding and not subject to appeal.
(viii) Unless written objection is made to the other party within
five (5) days after the selection of the identity of the appraiser,
the objection to the qualifications of the appraiser shall be deemed
waived. If objections are made to the selection of an appraiser, the
party whose nominee it is will have ten (10) days in which to select
the identity of a new appraiser.
(ix) Tenant and Landlord shall pay the fees and expenses of the
appraiser each has chosen. The parties shall equally divide the fees,
compensation and expenses of the third appraiser.
c. Tenant shall purchase the premises "as is" and Landlord shall not
be responsible for the condition of the building, the infrastructure, the
land or the necessity for any repairs thereto, whether or not structural.
d. The Demised Premises shall be conveyed, subject to title exceptions
appearing on Exhibit "E" attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference. Said title exceptions include a reference to a certain
Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions by and between
Xxxxxxxxx Holding Company and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx Organization, recorded of
record in the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court in and for Brevard
County, Florida, at Book #2652, Page #2739, et. seq., on December 2, 1985.
e. Title shall be free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and
easements, except those set forth in Exhibit "E" attached hereto. Landlord
shall have the affirmative obligation to discharge before or at the time of
settlement all liens which can be discharged by the payment of money, the
total of which shall not be in excess of the net proceeds of the sale. If
Landlord is unable to provide good and marketable title and such as would
be insured by title insurance and at regular rates, subject only to the
exceptions set forth in Exhibit "E", then Tenant's sole remedy shall be to
terminate its Option or to accept such title as Landlord is able to convey,
without abatement of the Purchase Price.
f. Settlement shall be made on said Purchase under subparagraph (a)(1)
hereof during the last month of the fifth year of the Demised Premise, upon
ten (10) days' written notice from Tenant to Landlord of under paragraph
(a)(2), during the last month of the tenth year of the Demised Term, again
settlement being on ten (10) days' written notice from Tenant to Landlord.
Settlement shall be held at the office of title insurer, and if there is no
title insurer, at the office of seller.
g. Time is of the essence of this Agreement in exercising the option
and in consummating closing.
h. At the time of closing, the purchase price shall be payable by
certified check, cashier's check or wire transfer to Landlord's account
pursuant to the written instructions of Landlord.
i. Documentary stamps on the deed and recording corrective instruments
shall be paid by Landlord. Documentary stamps and intangible tax on the
mortgage, if any, shall be paid by Landlord. Documentary stamps and
intangible tax on the mortgage, if any, shall be paid by Tenant. Taxes,
assessments, rent, interest, insurance and other expenses and revenue of
property shall be pro rated through day before closing. Cash at closing
shall be increased or decreased as may be required by pro-rations. Taxes
shall be pro rated based on the current year's tax, with due allowance made
for maximum allowance discount, homestead and other exemptions. If closing
occurs at a date when the current year's millage is not fixed, and current
year's assessment is available, taxes will be pro-rated based upon such
assessment in a prior year's millage. If current year's assessment is not
available, then taxes will be pro-rated on the prior year's tax. Any tax
pro ration based on an assessment may, at request of either Tenant or
Landlord, be subsequently readjusted upon receipt of tax xxxx on condition
that a statement to that effect is in the closing statement.
j. The deed shall be a special warranty deed which shall be recorded
upon clearance of funds.
k. If Tenant fails or refuses to consummate closing on the purchase
within the time specified, and at Landlord's option, the Tenant shall be
liable to Landlord for ten percent (10%) of the purchase price as agreed
upon liquidated damages, and in full settlement of any claims whereupon
Tenant and Landlord shall be relieved of all further obligations under the
exercised option to purchase; or Landlord, at Landlord's option, may
proceed in equity to enforce Landlord's rights under this Agreement for
consummation of the exercise to Purchase. If for any reason other than
failure of Landlord to make Landlord's title marketable after diligent
effort, Landlord fails or neglects or refuses to perform this Contract, the
Tenant may seek specific performance, which shall be Tenant's only remedy.
l. From the time of exercise of the Option to Purchase until the time
of Closing, Tenant on the Lease for the property to be purchased may not be
in default in any of the provisions of its Lease. In the event the Option
to Purchase is rescinded due to Tenant default in its Lease, Seller may
retain the deposit money as liquidated damages, and Tenant shall have no
further options to purchase the Demised Premises.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Rider to the
Lease the day and year first above written.
