OFFICE LEASE
THIS LEASE made and entered into as of the 18th day of April, 1995 by
and between XXXXXX X. XXXXXXXXX, AS TRUSTEE UNDER F.S. 689.071, (hereinafter
referred to as "Landlord") and THE WACKENHUT CORPORATION (hereinafter referred
to as "Tenant").
W I T N E S S E T H:
1. DEMISED PREMISES.
A. Landlord is or will become the owner of a 7.7 acre tract of land
(the "Land") situated adjacent to I-95 at the corner of RCA Boulevard and
Northcorp Parkway, in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, more particularly described
in Exhibit "A" attached hereto. Landlord shall construct upon said Land a four
(4) story building to be known as "The Wackenhut Center" (hereinafter referred
to as the "Building"), together with two (2) other office buildings (the
"Adjacent Buildings") surrounding parking areas and driveways (collectively
called the "Parking Facilities") and curbs and sidewalks all as located on the
Site Plan attached hereto as Exhibit "B". The Land, along with the Building,
Adjacent Buildings, Parking Facilities and all other improvements presently or
hereafter located upon the Land, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Property". Landlord agrees that the aggregate square footage of the Building
and Adjacent Buildings shall not exceed One Hundred Twenty-Five (125,000) square
feet subject to the expansion provision contained in Paragraph 47.
B. Landlord, for the term and subject to the provisions and conditions
hereof, shall lease to Tenant, and Tenant shall accept from Landlord, certain
space more particularly described by the cross-hatched area on the floor plans
annexed hereto as Exhibit "C", which for all purposes hereof shall be deemed to
contain Ninety Thousand Five Hundred (90,500) square feet consisting of all of
the second through fourth (2nd - 4th) floors and a portion of the first floor of
the Building, (the "Demised Premises"), together with an exclusive license for
the duration of the term of the Lease to use the parking spaces (the "Parking
Spaces") described in the Parking Space Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit "D",
for parking of the passenger vehicles and service vans of Tenant and Xxxxxx's
invitees and employees and for no other purpose. Upon the Leasehold Improvements
Completion Date as hereinafter defined, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly
execute a revision to the Referenced Data containing the actual square footage
(which square footage of the Demised Premises shall be the Building Area less
1,500 square feet for which Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Rent and less
the portion of the Building not leased by Tenant pursuant to its Expansion and
Contraction Rights as defined below, which calculation shall be subject to the
reasonable verification of Tenant's architect) the actual Rent to be paid
hereunder and the actual Tenant Improvement Allowance (as hereafter defined).
The revised Referenced Data shall be incorporated into this Lease automatically
upon execution by the Parties. Tenant shall have the right to increase the
square footage of the Demised Premises by any amount up to the entire Building
Area, or decrease the square footage of the Demised Premises on the first floor
of the south portion of the Building by any amount up to 8,677 square feet (the
"Expansion and Contraction Rights"). Tenant shall be entitled to exercise its
Expansion and Contraction Rights up until such time as Tenant has provided
Landlord with its Preliminary Interior Plans (as defined in Paragraph 3.A.)
pursuant to Paragraph 3.A. If Tenant elects to change the square footage of the
Demised Premises, then in such event, the Annual Rent, Tenant's Proportionate
Share, the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (as hereafter defined),
and the actual square footage of the Demised Premises shall be modified upon the
Leasehold Improvements Completion Date. Any space in the Building which is not
leased by Xxxxxx ("Remaining
2
3
Space") shall be on the first floor of the south portion of the Building in a
reasonably leasable configuration. Tenant agrees that landlord may access any
such Remaining Space through Tenant's lobby at no expense to Landlord, or its
other tenants, except for the cost of any hallway required to be constructed by
Landlord to access the Remaining Space. Tenant shall have the right to approve
the location, size and appearance of any such hallway, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld. No portion of any hallway required to access the
Remaining Space shall be included in the Demised Premises. If the area of the
Remaining Space is more than 3,500 square feet, then the area of the lobby for
which Tenant is paying Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the relative
square footages of the Remaining Space and the Demised Premises to account for
the shared use of the lobby. For example, if the area of the Remaining Space is
4,000 square feet, the area of the Demised Premises is 90,956 square feet, the
Building Area is 94,956 square feet and the area of the lobby is 1,728 square
feet, then the portion of the lobby for which Tenant shall not pay Rent will be
72.79 square feet (4,000/94,956 x 1,728 = 72.79).
C. The Demised Premises shall be used for general business and office
purposes, including, but not limited to conference and computer facilities,
employee kitchen and lounge facilities, and any other legally permitted uses
under applicable laws, regulations and restrictions recorded among the Public
Records of Palm Beach County as of the date hereof, or as hereafter consented to
or created by Tenant and for no other purposes.
D. The use and occupation by Tenant of the Demised Premises shall
include the non-exclusive use (except for the exclusive parking spaces assigned
to Tenant pursuant to the Parking Space schedule), in common with other tenants
of the Building of the common facilities, employees' parking areas, service
roads, loading facilities, sidewalks and customer car parking areas
(collectively the "Common Areas") as such Common Areas now exist or as such
Common Areas may hereafter be constructed, and other facilities as may be
designated from time to time by Landlord, subject however to the terms and
conditions of this agreement and to the Rules and Regulations (as hereafter
defined) for the use thereof as prescribed from time to time by Landlord.
2. TERM.
A. This Lease shall be effective upon execution by Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx

facilities serving the Building and passing through the Demised Premises shall
have been completed; (4) the exterior of the Building shall be substantially
completed and enclosed, including all windows with the remaining work to be done
in the Building to be of such a nature so as to not materially interfere with
Tenant's installation of its furniture and systems,

4
and, upon completion thereof, its normal use and occupancy of the Demised
Premises for the conduct of its business. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that,
subject to Landlord meeting the foregoing conditions with respect to delivery of
the Demised Premises, Landlord may be working on completing the Demises
Premises, Building and Parking Facilities between January 16, 1996 and February
15, 1996, provided that by February 15, 1996, in addition to all of the
foregoing conditions with respect to delivery of the Demised Premises, Landlord
shall have obtained all required governmental approvals and inspections which
are necessary, when taken together with the work to be performed by Xxxxxx, to
allow Tenant to lawfully occupy the Demised Premises and Landlord shall have
complied with all legal requirements which are necessary for Tenant to use the
Demised Premises for the conduct of its business (provided Tenant applies for

determination as to whether or not the Demised Premises have been "delivered" as
defined above shall be made jointly by Xxxxxx's architect and the architect of
record who prepared and sealed the Interior Plans and Specifications after
consultation and a joint inspection of the Building using their reasonable
judgment. If Landlord delivers the Demised Premises to Tenant for the
installation of Tenant's furniture and systems after January 16, 1996, or if
Landlord fails to complete before February 15, 1996, any work being performed
after January 15, 1996, as described above the Rental commencement Date shall be
that day which is thirty (30) days after landlord has delivered the Demised
Premises to Tenant ready for the installation of Tenant's furniture and systems
or completed any of Xxxxxxxx's remaining work as applicable. If Tenant occupies
any portion of the Demised Premises for purposes of conducting its business
prior to the date which would otherwise be calculated to be the Rental
Commencement Date pursuant to this paragraph, Tenant shall immediately commence
paying Rent on the portion of the Demised Premises so occupied. If Catalfumo

deliver the Building and Demised Premises in the condition required above by
January 16, 1996, Landlord shall provide Tenant with two (2) days of Rent
abatement for every day of delay, said Rent abatement to commence on the Rental
Commencement Date.

Construction, Inc. construct the Leasehold Improvements, Rent shall be payable
commencing on February 15, 1996, regardless of whether or not the Leasehold
Improvements are completed or whether or not Tenant has occupied the Demised
Premises, provided that Landlord has turned over the first and second floors of
the Building to Tenant ready for the Tenant's selected contractor to immediately
commence construction of Tenant's Leasehold Improvements on or before October
15, 1995 and the balance of the Demised Premises by November 15, 1995

contractor other than Catalfumo Construction, Inc. construct the Leasehold
Improvements and Landlord fails to deliver the Completed Core Building (as

commence work by November 15, 1995, the Rental Commencement Date shall be that
date which is ninety (90) days after Landlord has delivered the Completed Core
Building and Tenant shall be provided with two (2) days of Rent abatement for

contractors; provided, however, that in no event shall the Core Building
Completion Date be deemed to have occurred until: (1) temporary power is
available to each floor; (2) the portion of the Demised Premises to be turned
over is water
4
5

the Demised Premises for themselves, their employees and invitees and, given
consideration to ongoing construction activities, such access is reasonably
clear, convenient and sufficient to permit Tenant to commence and carry on the
work on the Leasehold Improvements in accordance with good construction
practices. within 11 days of the Core Building Completion Date, Tenant shall
walk through the Building and prepare a "punch list" of items which are
incomplete or do not comply with the Building Plans and Specifications.
C. In no event shall Rent commence to be due unless there is available
to the Demised Premises: (1) required utility services, (2) elevator service
servicing the Demised Premises and (3) the completion of the parking spaces
serving the Demised Premises.
D. Anything in Paragraph 2.A. and B. to the contrary notwithstanding,
if Landlord fails to perform by the core Building or Leasehold Improvements
Completion Dates as applicable and such failure was in fact caused by any of the
following, Rent shall commence as if the delay had not occurred and the deadline
dates for the delivery of the Completed Core Building or Leasehold Improvements,
as applicable shall be extended by the number of days of delay, provided
Landlord shall have given Tenant prompt written notice of any delays which may
be caused by Tenant as provided in Paragraph 3.A.:

Improvements and Landlord has not delivered the Completed Core Building to
Tenant ready for Tenant's selected contractor to commence the Leasehold
Improvements as described in Paragraph 2. by February 15, 1996, then, and only
then, Tenant shall be entitled to terminate this Lease by providing written
notice of its election within fifteen (15) days thereafter, failing which,
Tenant shall be deemed to have elected not to terminate this Lease, provided
however, any election by Tenant not to terminate this Lease pursuant to this
Paragraph 2.E., shall not be deemed a waiver or modification of Tenant's right
to receive the Rent Abatement provided above or any other right or remedy
available to Tenant by reason of such failure by Landlord.
F. Upon delivery of the Demised Premises to Tenant for the installation
of Tenant's furniture and systems it shall be presumed that all work theretofore
performed by or on behalf of Landlord was satisfactorily performed in accordance
with and meeting the requirements of this Lease, excepting any items covered by

equal to Tenant's Proportionate Share of the amount by which the amounts paid by
Landlord for Taxes (as defined below), electric and insurance exceed $1.35,

If at any time during the term of this Lease the amounts paid by Landlord for
Taxes, electric or insurance for any calendar year are less than the base
amounts set forth in the preceding sentence, then the Rent shall be reduced by
the amount by which the actual cost for said expense item is less than the

Excess Operating Expenses for Taxes which is are a direct result of a sale or
transfer of Landlord's interest in the Building or Property, or the placement of
a mortgage on the Building in excess of the then current market value of the
Building. In such event, the base amount for Taxes set forth in this paragraph
shall be increased by the amount of the increase in the Taxes caused by the
sale, transfer or mortgage. Tenant's Proportionate Share of such Excess
Operating Expenses shall be paid in accordance with the following procedure:
Within 120 days after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall
furnish to Tenant a written statement (the "Expense Statement") setting forth
the amount, if any, due from Tenant as a result of Excess Operating Expenses in
the amounts paid by Landlord for Taxes, electric and insurance calculated
pursuant to this Paragraph. Tenant's Proportionate Share of any such Excess
Operating Expenses shall be paid by Tenant with thirty (30) days of receipt of
the Expense Statement. For the purposes of this Paragraph, the term "Taxes"
shall be defined as all real estate taxes and assessments, ad valorem or
otherwise, transit Taxes, and any other federal, state, city, county or other
local governmental or quasi-governmental charges or charges by any school,
drainage, waste management, or other special improvement or service district, or
other public entity granted the power to assess the Property whether directly on
the ad valorem tax bill or otherwise, (but not including income taxes or any
other Taxes imposed upon or measured by Landlord's income or profits, unless the
same shall be imposed in lieu of real estate taxes or limited solely to income
from real property), general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or
unforeseen, which may now or hereafter be levied, assessed or
9
10
imposed upon the Property or with respect to the ownership thereof, excluding
the Taxes assessed against the Adjacent Buildings and excluding a prorated
portion of the Taxes assessed against the land which shall be determined by
multiplying the total Taxes assessed against the Land by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of gross square feet contained in the
Adjacent Buildings only and the denominator of which shall be the number of
gross square feet contained in all of the buildings located on the Land or if
the Adjacent Buildings are not constructed, then the denominator shall be one
hundred twenty-five thousand (125,000) square feet plus the area of any square
footage, if any, contained in the Proposed Building Expansion as defined in
Paragraph 47. Taxes shall also include any personal property taxes imposed upon
the furniture, fixtures, machinery, equipment, apparatus, systems and
appurtenances in proportion to the extent used in connection with the Building
for the operation thereof. If, due to a future change in the method of taxation,
any franchise, income, profit or other tax, however designated, shall be levied,
assessed or imposed in substitution, in whole or in part, for (or in lieu of)
any tax which would otherwise be included within the definition of Taxes, such
other tax shall be deemed to be included within Taxes as defined herein, Taxes
shall also include all of Landlord's expenses, including, but not limited to,
attorney's fees incurred by Landlord in any effort to minimize Taxes; provided,
however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to undertake any contest,
appeal or other procedure to minimize Taxes. Taxes shall be calculated taking
advantage, of the maximum possible discount. Tenant shall have the right (but
not the obligation) to contest the amount or validity of the Taxes which the
Tenant is required to pay hereunder, and for that purpose, the Tenant shall have
the right to file in the name of the Landlord all such protests or petitions and
to institute and prosecute such proceedings as the Tenant may deem necessary for
the purpose of such contest. Except as hereinafter provided, in the event a
refund of Taxes previously paid is obtained as a result of such contest by
Xxxxxx, Tenant shall pay the cost of prosecuting such contest. If payment of
some or all of the Taxes is necessary in order to avoid penalties or interest
accruing thereon, Tenant shall pay its proportionate share of such Taxes, and
Landlord shall pay the balance thereof prior to such protest or proceeding. Any
refund of any Taxes relating to periods during the Term of the Lease shall be
applied first to reimburse or pay actual expenses incurred in connection with
the tax contest or appeal and next to Landlord and Tenant in proportion to the
amount of Taxes each has previously paid for the tax periods on which the refund
is based. Tenant shall be entitled to audit the items included in the Additional
Rent for a period of two (2) years after the end of each calendar year. Landlord
shall maintain and make available to Tenant upon reasonable notice, the
supporting information used to calculate the Additional Rent. Landlord shall
either credit any overpayments discovered by Xxxxxx's audit to the next payments
of Rent coming due under the Lease, or if no further payments of Rent are due
under the Lease, Landlord shall promptly repay the overpayment to Tenant.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained hereinabove, Taxes shall not
include any maintenance fees or regular or special assessments imposed by the
RCA Boulevard Drainage Association, Inc. or otherwise pursuant to that certain
Declaration of Protective Covenants, Restrictions, Reservations and Servitude
recorded in ORB 7105 at Page 1765 of the Public Records of Palm Beach County as
the same may be hereafter amended.

Building systems which are not specifically set forth as the obligation of
Tenant. In the event that any repair is required by reason of the negligent or
willful acts of Tenant or its agents, employees or invitees, or of any other

13
14
X. Xxxxxx acknowledges that Landlord does not warrant that any of the
services referred to in this Paragraph 8 will be free from interruption from
causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. If Landlord fails to provide
any essential services or facilities for three (3) consecutive business days to
the extent that all or a portion of the Demised Premises is rendered
untenantable and Tenant cannot conduct its normal business in the Demised
Premises or a portion thereof, then Rent shall be abated for the portion of the
Demised Premises rendered untenantable retroactive to the first day that the
service or facility was unavailable, provided that there shall be no abatement
if the failure to provide service is as a result of an event of force majeure as
defined in Paragraph 36. In such event, Tenant shall be entitled to expend any
reasonable sums required to correct Landlord's failure and deduct the same from
the next Rent coming due.
X. Xxxxxxxx shall manage and maintain the Building and Property in a
first class fashion. If at any time during the term of the Lease, Tenant is
dissatisfied with the management and/or maintenance of the Building and
Property, and Xxxxxx provides written notice of such dissatisfaction to

of Xxxxxx's dissatisfaction. If Landlord fails to satisfy Tenant's reasonable
concerns, Tenant shall so notify Landlord and Landlord shall be required to

similar janitorial services, whichever is greater, shall be deducted from the
Rent being paid by Tenant.

withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant, without Landlord's
consent, shall be entitled to sublet the Demised Premises or assign in whole or
in part, its rights under the Lease to any affiliate or subsidiary of Tenant or
any parent of Tenant or any successor of Tenant resulting from a merger or
consolidation of Tenant into any entity under the "Common Control" of Tenant.
Should Tenant sublet or assign all or a portion of the Demised Premises for an
amount greater than the Rent Tenant is paying, whether or not such assignee or
subtenant is under the Common Control of Tenant, the excess shall be retained in
full by Tenant. If Landlord consents to any assignment or subletting, such
consent will not be deemed a consent to any further subletting or assignment.
Xxxx attempted assignments, mortgages, subleases or other encumbrances of the
Demised Premises in violation of this paragraph shall be null and void. If
Landlord consents to any subletting or assignment, or if Xxxxxxxx's consent is
not required it shall nevertheless be a condition to the effectiveness thereof
that a fully executed copy of the sublease or assignment be furnished to
Landlord and that any assignee assume in writing all obligations of Tenant
hereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to only use the Demised
Premises for the uses permitted hereunder. In the event of any subletting or
assignment of the Demised Premises, whether or not Landlord's consent is
required, Tenant shall remain liable for all of the obligations of Tenant set
forth herein. For the purposes of this paragraph, "Common Control" shall be
defined as the percentage of shares, or the voting rights to said shares, which
control the making of major corporate decisions.

and employees, harmless from and against any
14
15
and all liability, claims, suits, demands, judgments, costs, damages, fines,
interest and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements)
incurred or suffered by Landlord, its agents and employees, by reason of any
breach, violation or nonperformance by Tenant, or its agents, employees,
licensees, invitees or contractors of any covenant or provision of this Lease,
or by reason of any damage to persons or property caused by moving property of
or for Tenant in or out of the Building, or by the installation or removal of
furniture or other property of or for Tenant or by reason of or arising out of
the acts, omissions, negligence or improper conduct of Tenant, or its agents,
employees, licensees, invitees or contractors in the preparation, alteration,
use or occupancy of the Demised Premises. Landlord shall indemnify, defend and
hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all liability, claims, suits,
demands, judgments, costs, damages, fines, interest and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred or suffered by Tenant by
reason of any breach, violation or non-performance by Landlord, or its agents,
employees or contractors, of any covenant or provision of this Lease, or by
reason of or arising out of the acts, omissions, negligence, or improper conduct
of Landlord, or its agents, employees, licensees, invitees or contractors in the
preparation, alteration, repair or maintenance of the Building; provided,
however, that such indemnification by Landlord shall not be enforceable against
any mortgagee in possession of the Building prior to a foreclosure or other
proceeding or process, whereby any such mortgagee may obtain fee title to the
Building. Where applicable, the indemnifying party shall have the right, at the
indemnifying party's own cost and expense, to resist or defend such action or
proceeding in the indemnified party's name, if necessary, and by such attorneys
as the indemnified party shall approve, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.
11. INSURANCE
X. Xxxxxx, at its own cost and expense, shall obtain and maintain in
full force and effect during the original term hereof, and any extensions or
renewals, single limit public liability and property damage insurance in an
amount at least equal to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) or such other
amounts as Landlord's lender may reasonably require from time to time upon
thirty (30) days prior written notice.
B. Landlord shall at all times during the term of the Lease and
extensions, maintain in effect a policy or policies of insurance covering the
Building and Property and providing protection against all perils included
within the classification "fire and extended coverage", business

and any other commercially reasonable coverages for similar buildings in the
amounts as reasonably required by Landlord's lender. In any event, Xxxxxxxx
agrees to carry with companies reasonably acceptable to Tenant, during the Term
hereof, all risk property insurance ("Landlord's Property Insurance") covering
fire and extended coverage, vandalism and malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage
and all other perils of direct physical loss or damage insuring the improvements
and betterments located in the Building, including the Demised Premises and all
appurtenances thereto (excluding Tenant's Property) for the full replacement
value thereof. If the Building is within a federally designated flood plain,
Landlord shall also carry flood insurance in the maximum amount available, not
to exceed the full insurable value of the Building, including the Demised
Premises. During construction of the Building, Landlord shall carry, at its own
expense, Builder's Risk Insurance in appropriate amounts. Landlord, upon
request, shall furnish Tenant certificates of the insurance required of Landlord
pursuant to this Paragraph. In addition, Landlord shall maintain on the Building
and Property, public liability and property damage insurance in amounts equal to
those required to be maintained by Tenant as set forth in Paragraph 11.A.
C. Tenant agrees to carry all risk insurance covering Xxxxxx's
fixtures, furnishings, wall covering, carpeting, drapes,
15
16
equipment and all other items of personal property of Tenant located on or

Property Insurance"). Xxxxxxxx agrees it shall not have any right, title or
interest in and to Tenant's Property Insurance or any proceeds therefrom.
D. Except for Tenant's Property Insurance, all policies of
insurance described above shall name Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord as
named insureds, and shall include an endorsement providing that the policies
will not be cancelled or amended until after thirty (30) days, prior notice to
Landlord. All such policies of insurance shall be issued by a financially
responsible company or companies satisfactory to Landlord and authorized to
issue such policy or policies, and licensed to do business in the State of
Florida. Tenant shall deposit with Landlord duplicate originals of such
insurance on or prior to the Rental Commencement Date, together with evidence of
paid-up premiums, and shall deposit with Landlord renewals thereof at least
fifteen (15) days prior to expiration of any such policies.
12. FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY.
12.01 If the Building or the Demised Premises shall be partially or
totally damaged or destroyed by fire or other cause (and if this Lease shall not
have been terminated as in this Paragraph 12 hereinafter provided), Landlord
shall promptly repair the damage and restore and rebuild the Building and the
Demised Premises to substantially the same condition as existed prior to the
fire or other casualty, at its expense (without limiting the rights of Landlord
under any other provisions of this Lease), after notice to it of the damage or
destruction; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to repair or
replace any of Tenant's Property.
12.02 (a) if the Building or the Demised Premises shall be partially
damaged or partially destroyed by fire or other cause, then the rents payable
hereunder shall be abated to the extent that the Demised Premises shall have
been rendered untenantable or rendered inaccessible for the period from the date
of such damage or destruction to the date the damage shall be repaired or
restored. In the event that so much of the Demised Premises shall be damaged,
destroyed or rendered inaccessible that Tenant is unable to conduct its business
in a reasonable manner in the undamaged or non-destroyed portion of the Demised
Premises, then, if Tenant moves out of the entire Demised Premises until the
restoration work has been completed, the rent therefor shall be fully abated.
(b) if the Demised Premises or a major part thereof shall be totally
(which shall be deemed to include substantially totally) damaged or destroyed or
rendered completely (which shall be deemed to include substantially completely)
untenantable or inaccessible on account of fire or other cause, then the rents
shall xxxxx as of the date of the damage or destruction and until Landlord shall
repair, restore and rebuild the Demised Premises including access thereto,
provided, however, that should Tenant reoccupy a portion of the Demised Premises
for the conduct of business during the period the restoration work is taking
place and prior to the date that the same are made completely tenantable, rents
allocable to such portion shall be payable by Tenant from the date of such
occupancy.
(c) if the Demised Premises or a major part thereof shall be totally
(which shall be deemed to include substantially totally) damaged or destroyed or
rendered completely (which shall be deemed to include substantially completely)
untenantable on account of fire or other cause, then within ninety (90) days
after such damage or destruction to the Demised Premises, Landlord shall deliver
to Tenant a statement prepared by a reputable contractor setting forth such
contractor's estimate as to the time required to repair such damage. If the
estimated time period exceeds 180 days from the date of such statement, Tenant
may elect to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord not later than thirty
(30) days following receipt of such statement. If Tenant
16
17
makes such election, the term of this Lease shall expire upon the thirtieth
(30th) day after notice of such election is given by Xxxxxx, and Tenant shall
vacate the Demised Premises and surrender same to Landlord in accordance with
the provisions of Paragraph 7 hereof. If Tenant shall not have elected to
terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 12.02(c) (or is not entitled to
terminate this Lease pursuant to this Paragraph 12) and such repairs are not
made by Landlord within two (2) months after the expiration of the period
estimated for effecting such repairs, then Tenant may elect to terminate this
Lease by giving notice to Landlord not later than sixty (60) days following
expiration of the aforesaid restoration period. If tenant makes such election,
the term of this Lease shall expire on the thirtieth (30th) day after notice of
such election is given by Xxxxxx, and Tenant shall vacate the Demised Premises
and surrender the same to Landlord in accordance with the provisions of
Paragraph 7 hereof.
12.03 If the Building shall be so damaged or destroyed by fire or other
cause (whether or not the Demised Premises are damaged or destroyed) as to
require a reasonably estimated expenditure to restore of more than 25% of the
full insurable value of the Building immediately prior to the casualty, then
Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice to such effect within
ninety (90) days after the date of the casualty. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Landlord may not exercise such option unless it terminates, at the same time,
all leases of space in the Building. In such event, this Lease shall terminate
on the thirtieth (30th) day after the giving of such notice of termination and
the rents payable hereunder shall be apportioned as of the date of such
termination with respect to the undamaged portion of the Demised Premises and as
of the date of damage with respect to the damaged portion of the Demised
Premises (except as to those portions which were reoccupied by Tenant). Within
ninety (90) days after such damage or destruction to the Demised Premises,
Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement prepared by a reputable contractor
setting forth such contractor's estimate as to the time required to repair such
damage. If the estimated time period exceeds 180 days from the date of such
statement or if the remaining unexpired term of the Lease is less than two (2)
years, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord not later
than sixty (60) days following receipt of such statement. If Xxxxxx makes such
election, the term of this Lease shall expire upon the thirtieth (30th) day
after notice of such election is given by Xxxxxx, and Tenant shall vacate the
Demised Premises and surrender same to Landlord in accordance with the
provisions of Paragraph 7 hereof. If Tenant shall not have elected to terminate
this Lease pursuant to this Section 12.03 (or is not entitled to terminate this
Lease pursuant to this Paragraph 12) and such repairs are not made by Landlord
within two (2) months after the expiration of the period estimated for effecting
such repairs, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by giving notice to
Landlord not later than sixty (60) days following expiration of the aforesaid
restoration period. If Xxxxxx makes such election, the term of this Lease shall
expire on the thirtieth (30th) day after notice of such election is given by
Xxxxxx, and Tenant shall vacate the Demised Premises and surrender the same to
Landlord in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 7 hereof.
12.04 No damages, compensation or claim shall be payable by Landlord
for inconvenience, loss of business or annoyance arising from any repair or
restoration of any portion of the Demised Premises or of the Building pursuant
to this Paragraph, and the time periods provided to Landlord to complete repairs
or restoration shall be extended by the period of any delay beyond the control
of Landlord which arises by reason of adjustment of insurance. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Landlord shall be obligated to use all reasonable efforts in
order to effectuate an expeditious adjustment with its insurance carrier and to
proceed with due diligence in connection with such repair or restoration. Such
obligation on Landlord's part shall include the requirement, subject to its
lender's consent that Landlord seek a loan in order to finance such repair or
restoration based upon its anticipated
17
18
insurance settlement, if in Landlord's reasonable judgment same would be
commercially reasonable.
13. INCREASE IN PREMIUMS. Tenant shall not do, permit or suffer to be done any
act, matter, thing or failure to act in respect to the Property or the Demised
Premises or use or occupy the Property or the Demised Premises or conduct or
operate Tenant's business in any manner objectionable to insurance companies
whereby the fire insurance or any other insurance now in force or hereafter to
be placed on the Demised Premises or any part thereof shall become void or
suspended or whereby any premiums in respect of insurance maintained by Landlord
shall be higher than those which would normally have been in effect for the
occupancy contemplated under the permitted uses. In case of a breach of this
covenant, in addition to all other rights and remedies of Landlord hereunder,
Tenant shall (a) indemnify Landlord and hold Landlord harmless from and against
any loss which would have been covered by insurance which shall become void or
suspended because of such breach by Tenant, and (b) pay to Landlord any and all
increase of premiums on any insurance, including, without limitation, rent
insurance, resulting from any such breach.
14. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant waive, unless said waiver should
invalidate any insurance required or permitted hereunder, their right to recover
damages against each other for any reason whatsoever to the extent the damaged
party recovers indemnity from its insurance carrier. Any insurance policy
procured by either Tenant or Landlord which does not name the other as a named
insured shall, if obtainable at no extra cost, contain an express waiver of any
right of subrogation by the insurance company, including but not limited to
Xxxxxx's worker's compensation carrier, against Landlord or Tenant, whichever
the case may be.
15. EMINENT DOMAIN.
A. If the whole of the Property, Parking Facilities, or the whole of
the Demised Premises shall be taken or condemned for a public or quasi-public
use under any law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain or
private purchase in lieu thereof by any competent authority, this Lease shall
terminate and Rent shall xxxxx for the unexpired portion of the term of this
Lease as of the date the right to possession shall vest in the condemning
authority.
B. If part of the Demised Premises or a part of the Parking Facilities
shall be acquired or condemned as aforesaid, and such acquisition or
condemnation shall render the remaining portion unsuitable for the business of
Tenant the term of this Lease shall cease and terminate as provided in Paragraph
15(A) hereof, provided however, that diminution of area shall not in and of
itself be conclusive as to whether the portion of the Demised Premises
remaining after such acquisition is unsuitable for Tenant's business. If such
partial taking is not extensive enough to render the Demised Premises unsuitable
for the business of Tenant, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect
except that the Annual Rental shall be reduced in the same proportion that the
area of the Demised Premises taken bears to the area demised. Subject to the
rights of any mortgagee of Landlord's estate, Landlord shall, upon receipt of
the net condemnation award, make all necessary repairs or alterations to the
Building, Property and Parking Facilities so as to render the portion of the
Property not taken a complete architectural unit, but Landlord shall in no event
be required to spend for such work an amount in excess of the net amount
received by Landlord as damages for the part of the Building, Property and
Parking Facilities so taken. "Net amount received by Landlord" shall mean that
portion of the condemnation award in excess of any sums required to be paid by
Landlord to the holder of any mortgage on the property so condemned, and all
expenses and legal fees incurred by Landlord in connection with the condemnation
proceeding.

19
C. If part of the Building or Parking Facilities, but no part of the
Demised Premises, is taken or condemned as aforesaid, and, such partial
acquisition or condemnation shall render Landlord unable to comply with its
obligations under this Lease, or shall render the Demised Premises unsuitable
for the business of Tenant, the term of the Lease shall cease and terminate as
provided in Paragraph 15.A. hereof, by Landlord sending notice to such effect to
Tenant, whereupon Tenant shall immediately vacate the Demised Premises.
D. In the event of any condemnation or taking as hereinbefore provided,
whether whole or partial, Tenant shall not be entitled to any part of the award,
as damages or otherwise, for such condemnation and Landlord is to receive the
full amount of such award, and Tenant hereby expressly waives any right or claim
to any part thereof. Although all damages in the event of any condemnation are
to belong to the Landlord whether such damages are awarded as compensation for
diminution in value of the leasehold or the fee of the Demised Premises, Tenant
shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority, but not
from Landlord, such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by
Xxxxxx in Tenant's own right on account of any damage to Xxxxxx's Property,
Xxxxxx's business by reason of the condemnation and for or on account of any
cost or loss to which Tenant might be put in removing Xxxxxx's merchandise,
furniture, fixtures, and equipment, or the loss of Tenant's business or decrease
in value thereof.

covenants, terms or conditions contained in this Lease within thirty (30) days

law are commenced upon, on or against Tenant or a substantial portion of

17. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES.
A. If Tenant fails to pay Annual Rental, Additional Rent, or any other
sum payable to Landlord hereunder within five (5) days of the date when due,
Tenant shall pay a late charge in the amount of five percent (5%) of the amount
of the delinquent payment plus interest accruing on the unpaid sums from the
date such sums are due at a rate equal to the rate of interest paid by Landlord
on sums borrowed by Landlord (the "Late Charge"). The Late Charge shall be
Additional Rent under the terms of this Lease. In no event however shall any
interest or other charge on any delinquent payments exceed the amount allowed to
be charged under the usury laws of the State of Florida, it being acknowledged
and agreed that any amount in excess of such limitation shall be refunded to
Tenant by Landlord by means of a credit against the next installment(s) of Rent
coming due hereunder, or if no such Rent payments remain to be paid, then the
excess shall be refunded in cash. The Late Charge shall be in addition to, and
shall not in any way limit any other rights or remedies available to Landlord
under the terms of this Lease or at law and in equity.
B. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may, at any
time thereafter, and in addition to any other available rights or remedies at
law and/or in equity, elect any one or more of the following remedies:
(1) Intentionally Omitted.
(2) To immediately re-enter the Demised Premises, including
Xxxxxx's exclusive Parking Facilities, without accepting surrender of the
leasehold estate and remove all persons and all or any property therefrom, with
or without summary dispossession 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
additions, alterations and improvements. 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 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 any 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 Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx's
successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Landlord as
Xxxxxx's agent to collect the rents due and to become due under all subleases of
the Demised Premises or any part thereof without in any way affecting Xxxxxx's
obligation to pay any unpaid balance of Rent due or to become due hereunder.
Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination,
20
21
Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such
previous breach.
(3) 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, any and all sums and damages
for violation of Xxxxxx's obligations hereunder accrued and unpaid or which have
arisen at the time of such termination.
C. 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.
D. In the event of a breach by Tenant of any of the covenants or
provisions hereof, Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, 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 in law or in equity.
E. No waiver by Landlord of any breach by Tenant of any of Tenant's
obligations, agreements or covenants herein shall be a waiver of any subsequent
breach or of any obligation, agreement or covenant, nor shall any forbearance by
Landlord to seek a remedy for any breach by Tenant be a waiver by Landlord of
any rights and remedies with respect to such or any subsequent breach.
F. If Tenant defaults under any of the covenants or provisions of this
Lease, Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion and in addition to any
other available rights or remedies, may elect to cure Tenant's default in which
event any sums advanced and any costs incurred by Landlord in curing such
default shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord upon demand together with
interest thereon from the date the sums are advanced or the costs are incurred
until paid to Landlord.
X. Xxxxxxxx shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages in the
event of any default by Tenant hereunder.
18. LANDLORD'S DEFAULT/TENANT'S REMEDIES. If Landlord shall fail to perform any
provision of this Lease or breach any covenant contained on the part of
Landlord, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice thereof, and Landlord shall
have thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's notice to remedy the failure or
breach, unless the failure or breach is of such a nature that it may not be
cured within thirty (30) days in which event, Landlord shall commence to cure
the failure or breach within said thirty (30) day period and diligently pursue
the cure to completion. If Landlord fails to cure its default within said thirty
(30) day period, or commence the cure and diligently complete same as
applicable, Tenant shall be entitled to remedy Landlord's default and deduct the
reasonable cost of doing so from the next payment of Rents then coming due under
the Lease. If the default is of such a nature that it may not be remedied by
Xxxxxx, Tenant shall be entitled to seek equitable relief in order to compel
Landlord's cure of the default. In such event, Tenant shall be entitled to
recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs in seeking such equitable
remedy.
19. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Upon paying the Rent, and upon Xxxxxx's observance and
keeping of all the covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease, Tenant
shall quietly have and enjoy the Demised Premises during the term of this Lease
without hindrance or molestation by anyone claiming by or through Landlord;
subject, however, to the terms, exceptions, reservations and conditions of this
Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that this provision shall be deemed a covenant
remaining with the Land, which shall bind Landlord's successors and/or assigns.
21
22
20. NO WAIVER. The failure of either party to insist in any one or more
instances upon the strict performance of any one or more agreements, terms,
covenants, conditions, or obligations of this Lease, or to exercise any right,
remedy or election therein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or
relinquishment for the future of the performance of such one or more obligations
of this Lease or of the right to exercise such right, remedy or election, with
respect to any subsequent breach, act, or omission. The manner of enforcement or
the failure of Landlord to enforce any of the covenants, conditions, rules and
regulations set forth herein or hereafter adopted, against any tenant in the
Building shall not be deemed a waiver of any such covenants, conditions, rules
and regulations.

Landlord, Tenant will in writing, subordinate its right hereunder to the

force against the Land and Building of which the Demised Premises is a part, and
upon any building hereafter placed upon the land of which the Demised Premises

possession of the Demised Premises or its rights under this Lease will not be
diminished on account thereof.
B. In the event any proceedings are brought for foreclosure, or in the
event of the exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage or deeds of trust,

purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease, provided Xxxxxx's right to
possession continues unabated and Xxxxxx's rights under this Lease continue
undiminished.

25. DEFINITIONS OF LANDLORD AND TENANT.
A. The word "Tenant" as used in this Lease shall be construed to mean
tenants in all cases where there is more than one tenant, and the necessary
grammatical changes required to make the provisions hereof apply to
corporations, partnerships, or individuals, men or women, shall in all cases be
assumed as through in each case fully expressed. Each provision hereof shall
extend to and shall, as the case may require, bind and inure to the benefit of
Tenant and its heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns, provided
that this Lease shall not inure to the benefit of any assignee, heir, legal
representative, transferee or successor of Xxxxxx except upon the express
written consent or election of Landlord, except as herein otherwise provided.
B. The term "Landlord" as used in this Lease shall mean the fee owner
of the Building or, if different, the party holding and exercising the right, as
against all others (except space tenants of Building) to possession of the
Building. In the event of voluntary or involuntary transfer of such Ownership or
right to a successor in interest of Landlord, Landlord shall be freed and
relieved of all liability and obligation hereunder which shall thereafter accrue
(and, as to any unapplied portion of Tenant's security deposit, Landlord shall
be relieved of all liability therefore upon transfer of such portion to its
successor in interest) and Tenant shall look solely to such successor in
interest for the performance of the covenants and obligations of Landlord
hereunder which shall thereafter accrue, provided that such successor in
interest agrees to assume and be bound by the terms of this Lease. Subject to
the foregoing, the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of
Landlord. In no event shall the liability of Landlord to Tenant hereunder exceed
Xxxxxxxx's interest in the Building. Xxxxxx agrees that no judgment arising from
any default of Tenant's agreements under the terms of this Lease or by reason of
any willful or negligent act of Landlord and its building manager, and their
employees, officers, agents and independent contractors, shall attach against
any property of Landlord other than the Building, and in no event shall any such
judgment constitute a lien upon any other lands or properties owned by Landlord
wheresoever located. Neither shall any such judgment attach or constitute a lien
against any property of any principal or partner of the Landlord, or of their
heirs, executors, administrators, successors or assigns.
26. PRIOR AGREEMENTS; AMENDMENTS. Neither party hereto has made any
representations or promises except as contained herein. No agreement hereinafter
made shall be effective to change, modify, discharge or effect an abandonment of

by the party
23
24
against whom enforcement of the change, modification, discharge or abandonment
is sought.
27. CAPTIONS. The captions of the Paragraphs in this Lease are inserted and

to any person or circumstances, shall to any extent, be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term to
persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or
unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term of this Lease shall
be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Florida as set forth in Florida Statutes, Chapter 713. Tenant will not create or

(levied on account of any imposition or any mechanic's, laborer's or
materialman's lien) which might be or become a lien, encumbrance or charge upon
the Property, the Demised Premises or any part thereof or the income therefrom,
whether or not the same shall have any priority or preference over or ranking on
a parity with the estate, rights and interest of Landlord in the Property, the
Demised Premises or any part thereof, or the income therefrom, and tenant will
not suffer any other matter or thing whereby the estate, rights and interest of
Landlord in the Property, the Demised Premises or any part thereof might be

discharged in accordance with Subparagraph B of this Paragraph 29.
B. If any construction, laborer's or materialman's lien shall at any
time be filed against the Building, the Demised Premises or any part thereof as
a result of any action or work done on behalf of or contracted for by Xxxxxx,
Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after notice of the filing thereof, will cause
it to be discharged of record by payment, deposit, bond, order of the court of
competent jurisdiction or otherwise. If Tenant shall fail to cause such lien to
be discharged within the period aforesaid, then in addition to any other right
or remedy, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge it either by
paying the amount claimed to be due or by transferring same to security, and in
any such event, Landlord shall be entitled, if Landlord so elects, to compel
prosecution of any action for the foreclosure of such lien by the lienor and to
pay the amount of the judgment in favor of the lienor with interest costs and
allowances. Any amount so paid by Landlord and all costs, expenses, and fees
including without limitation attorneys' fees, incurred by Landlord in connection
with any mechanic's, laborer's or materialman's lien, whether or to the same has
been discharged of record by payment, deposit, bond, order of the court of

maximum rate permitted by law, from the respective dates of Landlord's making of
the payments and incurring of the costs and expenses, shall constitute

for any alteration, addition, improvement or repair to the Property, the Demised
Premises or any part thereof, nor as giving Tenant any right, power or authority
to contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any
materials that would give rise to the filing of any lien against the Property,
the Demised Premises or any part thereof, nor to subject Landlord's estate in
the Property to liability under the Construction Lien Law of the

Demised Premises, including the Leasehold Improvements, Tenant shall notify each
and every contractor making any such improvements of the provision set forth in
the preceding sentence of this Paragraph, and shall require each such contractor

in connection with the improvements. The parties agree to execute, acknowledge
and deliver to Landlord without charge a Construction Lien Notice, in recordable
form, containing a confirmation that the interest of the Landlord shall not be
subject to liens for improvements made by Tenant to the Property or the Demised
Premises.

Majeure. "Force Majeure" shall mean any and all causes beyond the reasonable
control of a party, including, without limitation, governmental restrictions,

of the Rental Commencement Date to lease up to an additional Three Thousand Two
Hundred Eighty (3,280) square feet, on the first floor of the Building, or such
greater amount of square footage which has not been leased by Tenant if Tenant
elects to reduce the size of the Demised Premises as set forth in Paragraph 1.B.
or if Landlord increases the size of the Building pursuant to Paragraph 47. (The
portions of the adjacent square footage on which Tenant shall hold options
hereunder and any space leased by Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 39 below, shall
be defined herein as the "Additional Space"). Tenant shall only be entitled to
lease the Additional Space in increments to be determined by the size of the
existing office suites developed in the Additional Space. The per square foot

under this Lease for the Demised Premises with the exception that Landlord shall
provide Tenant with an improvement allowance for the Additional Space equal to
the then "Fair Market" (as defined in the attached Exhibit "K") for such
improvement allowances. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on a "Fair market"
improvement allowance, the improvement allowance matter will be resolved via
arbitration pursuant to the procedure set forth in Exhibit "K". Tenant shall
provide Landlord with nine (9) months prior written notice of its election to
expand into the Additional Space in accordance with the option granted in this
Paragraph 38, failing which, the option shall be deemed waived and of no further
force and effect. Upon delivery of possession of the Additional Space to Tenant,
Tenant shall have ninety (90) days to construct its leasehold improvements to
the Additional Space with Rent to commence for the Additional Space on the

allowance determined in accordance with Exhibit "J". Tenant shall have ten (10)
days from receipt of written notice from Landlord that Additional Space is or
will become vacant in the Building to exercise its right under this paragraph.
Landlord shall give Tenant ninety (90) days prior notice with respect to
Additional Space which is to become vacant as a result of the expiration of the
stated term of another tenant's lease and use its best efforts to give Tenant as
much notice as possible with respect to any unscheduled vacancies. If Tenant
exercises its right to lease
26
27
Additional Space pursuant to this Paragraph, Tenant shall have sixty (60) days
from receipt of "as built" plans for the Additional Space to design any
leasehold improvements Tenant desires to make to the Additional Space and ninety
(90) days to construct the leasehold improvements. Rent shall commence for any
Additional Space leased under this Paragraph on the earlier of (a) the date of
occupancy of all or a portion of the Additional Space by Tenant, (b) completion
of construction of the leasehold improvements to the Additional Space as
evidenced by a Certificate of occupancy thereof, or (c) ninety (90) days from
the delivery of the Additional Space to Tenant for construction of Tenant's
leasehold improvements. If Tenant leases any space under this Paragraph the term
of the Lease for the Additional Space shall run concurrently and end
coterminously with the balance of the term of the Lease for the Demised
Premises.

time of exercise or at the time of commencement of any of the renewal options
referred to herein, Tenant shall have three (3) five (5) year options to extend
the Term of the Lease after the expiration of the original Term. To exercise
each of the options, Tenant must give Landlord written notice of its intention
to exercise the option not less than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration
of the original Term of the Lease or the applicable renewal Term. If Tenant
fails to give twelve (12) months notice of its intention to exercise the option,
and if Landlord has not committed the space to another prospect as evidenced by
a signed Letter of Intent for the Demised Premises or a portion thereof, Tenant
shall be entitled to elect to exercise the option on or before that day which is
nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the original Term of the Lease or the
then applicable renewal Term. If Tenant elects to exercise any of its renewal
options pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph, the per square foot rental for

per square foot, plus any Excess Operating Expenses to be paid by Tenant as

subsequent options shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.
41. STORAGE SPACE. Tenant shall be granted the use of three thousand (3,000)
square feet of storage space in the Building at no additional Rent, if, through
collaboration with Xxxxxx's architect, Landlord is able to design such space
into the Building at no additional construction cost.

logoon the Building in the following locations:

(1) year from the issuance of the Certificate of occupancy for the Building. If
Tenant exercises its option to purchase, the purchase price shall be Thirteen
million one Hundred Fifteen Thousand Ten and 00/100 ($13,115,010) (based on

forth in Paragraph 47, the purchase price shall be increased accordingly). If
Landlord has applied for or closed permanent financing prior to Tenant
exercising its option to purchase the Building, Tenant shall pay, in addition to
the purchase price, any and all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in
connection with the permanent financing (but not the construction loan financing
the costs of which shall be borne solely by Landlord) including, without
limitation, documentary stamps, intangible taxes, title insurance costs,
recording costs, prepayment penalties, assumption fees, loan application fees,
and commitment fees. If Tenant elects to exercise its option, it shall execute
and deliver to Landlord a Contract containing the terms set forth herein and
those customarily contained in contracts for the sale of similar commercial real
estate in Palm Beach County Florida which are not inconsistent with the terms
hereof including the obligation of Landlord to pay for the cost of the

days from the date of full execution of the Contract, but in no event prior to
issuance of a Certificate of occupancy for the Demised Premises. Any sale
contemplated hereby, shall be all cash to Landlord. Xxxxxxxx agrees to notify
Tenant of any and all potential costs to be incurred by Xxxxxx as a result of
Landlord obtaining permanent financing prior to Landlord attempting to obtain
permanent financing on the Building and shall provide Tenant with copies of the
executed loan documents within a reasonable period of time after closing such
permanent financing.
45. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL TO PURCHASE THE BUILDING. If the Landlord shall
determine at any time during the term of the Lease to sell the Building and if
Landlord receives a bonafide offer to purchase from a third party, which
Landlord desires to accept, Landlord shall give Tenant ten (10) business days to
exercise its right of the first refusal to purchase the Building on the same
terms and conditions as set forth in the bonafide third party offer. If Tenant
elects to exercise the right of first refusal to purchase the Building, the
purchase shall be closed in accordance with the provisions of the bonafide third
party offer. A sale of the Building shall include any transfer (whether in a
single or a series of transactions) of a majority of the interests in Landlord.
46. NON-COMPETE. Landlord shall not lease, or allow any assignment or sublease
to, or sell any premises within the Building or the Property to any competitor

47. EXPANSION OF BUILDING. Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord and Tenant
shall use their best good faith efforts to design Tenants Leasehold Improvements

footage permitted to be contained in the Building and Adjacent Buildings.
48. DIVISION OF PROPERTY. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the

subdivide the Building and the portion of the Land on which the Building is
located from the entire tract which comprises the Land. Accordingly, Landlord
and Tenant agree that should Tenant elect to exercise its option to purchase the
Building under Paragraph 44 or its right of first refusal under Paragraph 45,
then Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate with one another using their best
efforts to obtain an exemption from the platting requirement to enable the
subdivision of the Land. Landlord and Tenant agree to execute such cross
easement agreements and other agreements as may be reasonably necessary to
accomplish the subdivision of the Land. If an exemption cannot be obtained, then
the Building, Adjacent Buildings and Land shall be submitted to a commercial
condominium form of ownership and the Building shall be designated as a separate
unit from the Adjacent Buildings. The Land and Parking Facilities, landscaping,
access roads and signage shall be designated as Common Areas to be maintained by
the owners of the Building and Adjacent Buildings sharing the cost on a prorata
basis. Prior to closing any purchase contemplated in Paragraph 44 and 45,
Landlord and Tenant agree to execute any and all documentation necessary in
order to complete the subdivision of the Land or conversion to the commercial
condominium form of ownership in the event such conversion is necessitated by

collectively own directly or indirectly a majority or controlling interest
provided that reasonably acceptable evidence of such ownership is furnished to

and written agreement whereby this Lease is assigned to and assumed by such
entity.
