3.3 HOLDING OVER. If Tenant continues in possession of the Premises
after expiration of the Term without the written consent of Landlord, Tenant
shall be deemed a tenant at sufferance. Landlord's acceptance of payments from

monthly installments in advance on the first day of each month. The Base Rent
for the Term is as follows:

published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of
Labor with adjustments being determined by using as a basis the index number for
the then last preceding October, compared to the same index for the month
preceding the Rental Commencement Date of this Lease. For example, Base Rent for
2002 shall be computed by comparing the index for December, 2001 with the index
for December, 1999.

the rent for June 1, 2001 through May 30, 2002.

substantial change in the method of computing the index, the index to be used
will be the "Index Number of Wholesale Prices of All Commodities Revised"
published by the United States Department of Labor; if the aforementioned index
also become unavailable or its method of computation is substantially changed,
the index to be used is the "Index of the General Price Level" issued by the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York. In the event that the parties are unable to
agree with regard to the amount of such increase, either party may at any time
submit the controversy to arbitration in Orange County, Florida, according to
the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The cost incurred by such
determination shall be shared equally by the parties and the award therefrom may
be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Tenant shall not
withhold rent if there is a misunderstanding or problem determining the
adjustment.

extend the Term is exercised, the Base Rent for the shall be adjusted and

results in the largest Base Rent:

17.6 LANDLORD'S REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any of such events of
default, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the
following remedies without any notice or demand whatsoever;
(a) Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately
surrender the Premises to Landlord. Landlord may, without
prejudice to any other remedy which it may have, enter upon
and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant
and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any
part thereof, by force, if necessary, without being liable for
prosecution or any claim of damages therefore.
(b) Not terminate this lease but rather enter upon and take
possession of the Premises and, if Landlord so elects, make
such alterations and repairs as may be necessary to relet the
Premises, and relet the Premises or any part thereof, as the
agent of Tenant, at such rent and for such term and subject to
such terms and conditions as Landlord may deem advisable and
receive the rent therefore. Upon each such reletting all
rentals received by the Landlord from such relenting 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 loss and expenses of such relenting, including
brokerage fees and attorneys' fees and 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 the same may
become due and payable hereunder, and Tenant agrees to pay to
Landlord on demand any deficiency that may arise by reason of
such relenting. Notwithstanding any such relenting without
termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to
terminate this lease for such previous breach.
(c) Should Landlord at any time terminate this lease for any
breach, in addition to any other remedies it may have, it may
recover from Tenant all damages it may incur by reason of such
breach, including the cost of recovering the Premises
reasonable attorneys' fees, and the worth at the time of such
termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of rent and
charges equivalent to rent, reserved in this lease for the
remainder of the Term over the then reasonable rental value of
the Premises for the remaining portion of the Term, all of
which amounts shall be immediately due and payable from Tenant
to Landlord. In determining the rent which would be payable by
Tenant hereunder, subsequent to default, the annual rent for
each year of the unexpired term shall be equal to the average
Minimum Guaranteed Rental and percentage rent paid by Tenant
from the Rental Commencement Date to the time of default or
during the preceding two (2) calendar years, whichever period
is shorter.
(d) Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude
pursuit of any of the other remedies herein provided or any
other remedies provided by law, nor shall pursuit of any
remedy herein provided constitute a forfeiture or waiver of
any rent due to Landlord hereunder or of any damages accruing
to Landlord by reason of
20
the violation of any of the covenants and provisions herein
contained. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of
the remedies herein provided upon an event of default shall
not be deemed or construe to constitute a waiver of such
default.
17.7 LEGAL FEES. If, because of any breach or default hereunder, it
shall become necessary for the Landlord to employ an attorney to enforce or
defend any of the rights remedies hereunder, the Tenant agrees to pay any such
fees or costs incurred by the Landlord.

Advance Deposit, which shall be applied to rent due for April and May, 1997.
Landlord further acknowledges receipt from Tenant of the Security Deposit, which
shall be held by Landlord without interest as security for this lease, it being
expressly understood that such deposit is not an advance payment of rent or a
measure of Landlord's damages in case of default by Tenant. Upon the occurrence
of any event of default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without
prejudice to any other remedy provided herein, or provided by law, use the
Security deposit to the extent necessary to make good any arrears of rent and
any other damage, injury, expense or liability caused to Landlord by such event
of default. Following any such application of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord on demand the amount so applied in order to restore the Security
Deposit to its original amount. If Tenant is not then in default hereunder, any
remaining balance of the Security Deposit shall be returned by Landlord to
Tenant upon termination of this lease.
