Premises is greater than the normal usage of other tenants within the Building,
Landlord reserves the right to charge Tenant for much additional consumption, or
cause Tenant to separately meter electrical service to the Premises at Tenant's
sole cost and expense. Tenant shall not install any equipment of any kind or
nature whatsoever which would or might necessitate any changes, replacements or
additions to the structural system, water system, plumbing system, heating

Areas in the Building as are customarily provided in first class office
buildings in Palm Beach County, Florida. Any and all additional or specialized
janitorial service desired by Tenant shall be contracted for by Tenant directly
and the cost and payment thereof shall be and remain the sole responsibility of
Tenant. The firm providing such janitorial service shall first be approved by
Landlord, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any reduction, abatement, or other
credit against its Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses on account of any
contract for additional or specialized janitorial services, whether or not
Landlord's janitorial services are continued by Tenant. Janitorial services are

Landlord, in addition to Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses, the
after hours air-conditioning fee determined by Landlord, in its sole and
absolute discretion to be a reasonable charge for said services, and such sums
shall be paid by Tenant as Additional Rent under this Lease.

separately charged to Tenant shall constitute Operating Expenses as defined in
Paragraph 5 above. Tenant 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. No interruption of
service shall ever be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant or render
Landlord liable to Tenant for damages by abatement of Rent or otherwise, or
relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, unless
Landlord, after reasonable notice, shall willfully and without cause fall or
refuse to take reasonable action within its control to restore such service.

transfer or encumber this Lease or any portion or Tenant's interest herein, or

Landlord's prior written consent thereto, which the parties agree may be
withheld for any reason whatsoever in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion.
If Landlord consents to any given assignment or subletting, such consent will
not be deemed a consent to any further subletting or assignment. Xxxx attempted
assignment, mortgage, sublease or other encumbrance of the Demised Premises in
violation of this paragraph shall be null and void. If Landlord consents to any
subletting or assignment, 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. Notwithstanding any consent by Xxxxxxxx to any subletting
or assignment, in the event of any subletting or assignment of the Demised
Premises, Tenant shall remain liable for all of the obligations of Tenant set
forth herein. The sale by Tenant of a controlling interest in the Tenant entity
shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease requiring the convent of Landlord as
specified above.

its building manager and their officers, employees, agents and independent
contractors, from any and all suits, actions, damages, liability and expenses
(including reasonable attorney's fees and costs) in connection with loss of
income, loss of life, bodily or personal injury or property damage in or about
the Demised Promises arising from any cause whatsoever unless such loss of life,
injury, or property damage is the result of the willful and gross negligence of
Landlord, its building manager, or their officers, employees, agents and
independent contractors, and Landlord and said managers and their officers,
employees, agents and independent contractors shall not be liable ta Tenant for
any such damage or loss whether or not the result of their willful and gross
negligence.
14
X. Xxxxxx agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and its
building manager, and their employees, officers, agents and independent
contractors harmless of and from any and all loss, liability or expense
including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and costs Incurred by
Landlord in connection with any failure of Tenant to fully perform its
obligations under this Lease, and in connection with any personal injury or
damage to or loss of property of any type or nature resulting out of Tenant's
use of the Property, or caused by the negligence, misconduct or breach of this
Lease by Tenant, its employees, subtenants, invitees, contractors,
subcontractors, or any other person entering the Property under express or
implied invitation of Xxxxxx.
11. Public Liability and Business Interruption 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 Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) or such other amounts
as Landlord may reasonably require from time to time, upon thirty (30) days
prior written notice.
B. Tenant, 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, business interruption insurance payable in case of loss resulting from
damage to the Demised Premises or the Building by fire or other casualty. Such
insurance shall be maintained in an amount not less than the sum of all Minimum
Annual Rental and additional rent coming due for the then current calendar year
as estimated by Landlord.
X. Xxxxxx agrees to carry full replacement cost all risk fire and
extended coverage insurance in form satisfactory to Landlord on all improvements
to the Demised Premises. Tenant also agrees to carry such all risk insurance
covering Tenant's fixtures, furnishings, wall covering, carpeting, drapes,
equipment and all other items of personal property of Tenant located on or
within the Demised Premises.
D. All policies of insurance described above shall name Landlord and
any mortgages 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 written 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. In case of damage to the Demised Premises by fire or
other casualty, Tenant shall promptly give notice thereof to Landlord. In case
of damage to the Building, the Demised Premises or the Parking Facilities by
fire or other casualty, Landlord shall, unless Landlord elects to terminate this
Lease as described below, and subject to the rights of Landlord's Mortgagees,
thereupon undertake the repair and restoration of: (a) the Building, to
substantially the same condition as existed prior to the casualty; provided that
Landlord is not obligated to restore any portion of the Building or Parking
Facilities not necessary for Tenant's use of the Demised Premises (hereinafter
the "Excluded Area"); and (b) the Demised Premises, to substantially the
condition in which Landlord was obligated to deliver the Demised Premises to
Tenant on the Rental Commencement Date, at the expense of Landlord, subject to
delays which may arise by reason of adjustment of loss under insurance policies
and for delays beyond the reasonable control of Landlord; provided, however,
that Landlord shall not be obligated to restore the Demised Premises if adequate
insurance proceeds are not available to Landlord to complete such work. The
Minimum Annual Rent payable by Tenant hereunder shall be equitably apportioned
during the period of Landlord's repair and/or restoration of the Demised
Premises in accordance with the portion of the Demised Premises, which has been
rendered untenantable. If Landlord elects to make such
15
repairs, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after completion by Landlord of
such repair and/or restoration, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, commence to
repair or restore the remainder of the Demised Premises to the condition it was
in prior to such fire or casualty (which work shall be completed by Tenant
within one hundred twenty (120) days of commencement). In the event that
Landlord, in Xxxxxxxx's discretion, shall decide not to repair or rebuild the
Demised Premises, the Building or the Parking Facilities, Landlord shall deliver
written notice to Tenant of its election to terminate this Lease within ninety
(90) days after Landlord is notified of the casualty, and this Lease shall
terminate as of the date specified in such notice, which date shall not be more
than ninety (90) days thereafter, and the Rent (taking into account any
apportionment as aforesaid) shall be adjusted to the termination date, and
Tenant shall thereupon promptly vacate the Demised Premises.
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 became 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, contain an express waiver of any right of
subrogation by the insurance company, including but not limited to Xxxxxx's
workmen's compensation carrier, against Landlord or Tenant, whichever the case
may be. All public liability and property damage policies shall contain an
endorsement that Landlord, although named as an insured, shall nevertheless
entitled to recover for damages caused by the negligence of Tenant.
15. Eminent Domain.
A. If the whole of the Property, or 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 vast In the condemning authority.
B. If part of the Demised Premises shall be acquired or condemned as
aforesaid, and such acquisition or condemnation shall render the remaining
portion unsuitable for the business of Tenant (in the reasonable opinion of
Landlord), the term of this Lease shall cease and terminate as provided in
Paragraph 15(A) hereof, provided however, that diminution of rentable area shall
not in and of itself be conclusive as to whether the portion or 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 Minimum Annual Rental shall be reduced in the same
proportion that the rentable area of the Demised Premises taken bears to the
rentable 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 so as to render the portion or
the Building not taken a complete
16
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 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.
C. If part of the Building, but no part of the Demised Premises, is
taken or condemned as aforesaid, and, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord,
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 written
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 Tenant'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.
16. Events of Default. Each of the following events shall constitute an Event of
Default under this Lease:
A. If Tenant shall fail to pay Minimum Annual Rental, Additional Rent,
or any other sum payable to Landlord hereunder when due; or
B. If Tenant shall fail to perform or observe any of the other
covenants, terms or conditions contained in this Lease within ten (10) days
after written notice thereof by Landlord; or
C. If a receiver or trustee is appointed to take possession of all or a
substantial portion or the assets of Tenant, or any Guarantor and such receiver
or trustee is not dismissed within thirty (30) days; or
D. If Tenant or any Guarantor makes an assignment for the benefit of
creditors; or
E. If any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, creditor adjustment
or debt rehabilitation proceedings are instituted by or against Tenant or any
Guarantor under any state or federal law and the same are not dismissed within
thirty (30) days; or
F. If levy, execution, or attachment proceedings or other process of
law are commenced upon, on or against Tenant or any Guarantor or a substantial
portion of Tenant's or any Guarantor;s assets and the same are not dismissed
within thirty (30) days; or
G. If a liquidator, receiver, custodian, sequester, conservator,
trustee, or other similar judicial officer is applied for by Tenant or any
Guarantor; or
H. If Tenant or any Guarantor becomes insolvent in the bankruptcy or
equity sense; or
17
I. If the Demised Premises are vacated, abandoned or deserted during
the term hereof or Tenant removes or manifests an intention to remove its goods
and property from the Demised Premises other than in the ordinary course of its
business.
17. Remedies.
A. If Tenant fails to pay Minimum Annual Rental, Additional Rent, or
any other sum payable to Landlord hereunder when due, Tenant shall pay a late
charge in the amount of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) plus interest accruing on the
unpaid sums from the date such sums are due at a rate equal to the greater of
(a) eighteen percent (18%) per annum or (b) three percent (3%) per annum in
excess of the prime rate of interest paid by Landlord on sums borrowed by
Xxxxxxxx (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) Without obligation to relet the Demised Premises, to
accelerate the whole or any part. of the Minimum Annual Rental, the Additional
Rent, or any other sum payable to Landlord hereunder for the entire unexpired
balance of the Term of this Lease, as well as all other charges, payments, costs
and expenses herein agreed to be paid by Xxxxxx and for purposes of this
paragraph, the Minimum Annual Rental shall be deemed to be increased and
adjusted as described In Paragraphs 3C and 3D hereof, with the annual Cost of
Living Increase calculated as if the Adjustment Date was the month in which such
default occurred, and any Rent or 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 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 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, and Landlord shall be
entitled to all costs of collection, including attorney's fees and costs through
all appellate levels and post-judgment proceedings, and to interest on all such
amounts at the maximum rate allowed by law until such amounts are actually paid
to Landlord.
(2) To immediately re-enter the Demised Premises without
accepting surrender of the leasehold estate and remove all persons and all or
any property therefrom, with or without summary dispossess proceedings or by any
suitable action or proceeding at law, without being liable to indictment,
prosecution or damages therefore, 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 seen advisable and to
such person or persons as may in Landlord's discretion seem best. Upon each such
reletting all rents received by
18
Landlord from such reletting shall be applied first to the payment or 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, 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 accepting any surrender of the leasehold estate and 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 Xxxxxx's default in an amount equal to the amount of
the Rent reserved for the balance of the term of this Lease, as well as all
other charges, payments, costs and expenses herein agreed to be paid by Tenant,
all discounted at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum to their then present
worth, less the fair rental value of the Demised Premises for the remainder of
said term, also discounted at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum to its then
present worth, all of which amount shall be immediately due and payable from
Tenant to Landlord.
(4) Tenant covenants and agrees that if the rent and/or any
charges reserved in this Lease as rent (including all accelerations of rent
permissible under the provisions of this Lease) shall remain unpaid ten (10)
days after the same is required to be paid, then and in that event, Landlord may
cause Judgment to be entered against Tenant, and for that purpose Tenant hereby
authorizes and empowers Landlord or any Prothonotary, Clerk of Court or Attorney
of any Court of Record to appear for and confess judgment against Xxxxxx and
agrees that Landlord may commence an action pursuant to the laws of Florida for
the recovery from Tenant of all rent hereunder (including all accelerations of
rent permissible under the provisions of this Lease) and/or for all charges
reserved hereunder as rent, as well as fair interest and costs and reasonable
attorney's fees, for which authorization to confess judgment, this Lease, or a
true and correct copy thereof, shall be sufficient warrant. Such Judgment may be
confessed against Tenant for the amount of rent in arrears (including all
accelerations of rent permissible under the provisions of this Lease) and/or
fair all charges reserved hereunder or rent, as well as far interest and costs;
together with an attorney's fee of five percent (5%) of the full amount of
Landlord's claim against Tenant. Neither the right to institute an action
pursuant to the laws of Florida nor the authority to confess judgment granted
herein shall be exhausted by one or more exercises thereof, but successive
complaints may be filed and successive judgments may be entered for the
aforedescribed sums ten (10) days or more after they become due as well as after
the expiration of the original term and/or during or after expiration or any
extension or renewal of this Lease.
Tenant covenants and agrees that if this Lease shall be terminated
(either because of condition broken during the term of this Lease or any renewal
or extension thereof and/or when the term hereby created or any
19
extension thereof shall have expired) then, and in that event, Landlord may
cause a judgment in eviction to be entered against Tenant for possession of the
Demised Premises, and for that purpose Tenant hereby authorizes and empowers any
Prothonotary, Clerk of Court or Attorney of any Court of Record to appear for
Tenant and to confess judgment against Xxxxxx in Eviction for possession of the
herein Demised Premises, and agrees that Landlord may commence an action
pursuant to the laws of Florida for the entry of an order in Eviction for the
possession of real property, and Xxxxxx further agrees that a Writ of Possession
pursuant thereto may issue forthwith, for which authorization to confess
judgment and for the issuance of a writ or writs of possession pursuant thereto,
this Lease, or a true and correct copy thereof, shall be sufficient warrant.
Tenant further covenants and agrees, that if for any reason whatsoever, after
said action shall have commenced the action shall be terminated and the
possession of the premises demised hereunder shall remain in or be restored to
Tenant, Landlord shall have the right upon any subsequent default or defaults,
or upon the termination of this Lease as above set forth to commence successive
actions for possession of real property and to cause the entry of successive
judgments by confession in Eviction for possession of the premises demised
hereunder.
In any procedure or action to enter Judgment by Confession for Money
pursuant to Section 3.7 hereof, or to enter Judgment by Confession in Eviction
for possession of real property pursuant to Section 17 hereof, if Landlord shall
first cause to be filed in such action an affidavit or averment or the facts
constituting the default or occurrence of the condition precedent, or event, the
happening of which default, occurrence, or event authorizes and empowers
Landlord to cause the entry of judgment by confession, such affidavit or
averment shall be conclusive evidence of such facts' defaults, occurrences,
conditions precedent, or events; and if a true copy of this Lease (and or the
truth of which such affidavit or averment shall be sufficient evidence) be filed
in such procedure or action, it shall not be necessary to file the original as
evidence, any rule of court, custom, or practice to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Tenant hereby releases to Landlord and to any and all attorneys who may
appear for Tenant all errors in any procedure or action to enter Judgment by
Confession by virtue of the sections contained in this Lease, and all liability
thereof. Xxxxxx further authorizes the Prothonotary or any Clerk of any Court of
Record to issue a Writ of Execution or other process, and further agrees that
real estate may be sold on a Writ of Execution or other process. If proceedings
shall be commenced to recover possession of the Demised Premises either at the
end of the term or sooner termination of this Lease, or for non-payment of rent
or for any other reason, Tenant specifically waives the right to the statutory
notice periods, and agrees that ten (10) days' notice shall be sufficient in
either or any such case.
The right to enter judgment against Tenant by confession and to enforce
all of the other provisions of this Lease herein provided for may at the option
of any assignee of this Lease, be exercised by any assignee of 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.
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
determination of this Lease or the taking or recovering possession of the
premises shall deprive Landlord of any of its remedies or actions against the
Tenant for rent due at the time or which, under the terms hereof would in the
future become due as if there had been no determination, 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.
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.
20
D. In the event of a breach or threatened 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 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.
18. Quiet Enjoyment. Upon paying the Minimum Annual Rental, Additional Rent, and
other charges and sums herein provided for, 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.
19. 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.
20. Attornment and Subordination.
A. Subject to the provisions in subsection B hereof, this Lease, and
the rights of Tenant hereunder, shall be subject or subordinate to any mortgages
which now are or may hereafter be placed upon the Property or any portion
thereof (a "mortgage") or any interest therein or to any leases (hereinafter
called "underlying leases") of the Property as a whole which now exist or may
hereafter be made (any holder of any such mortgage, or landlord with respect to
any underlying lease being hereinafter called an "Interested Party"). The terms
of this Subordination shall be self-operative; provided, however, that Tenant
shall execute such documents as may be requested by Landlord in order to confirm
this Subordination from time to time. Any failure by Tenant to execute any such
documents shall be a default hereunder.
B. Upon the request of Xxxxxx, any Interested Party shall provide to
Tenant its written agreement providing substantially as follows: so long as
Tenant has not defaulted under this Lease (I) Tenant's rights shall not be

termination of such underlying lease; (II) in the event that the property
containing the Demised Premises is sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to any
right or power contained in or existing by reason of any such mortgage or the
bond, note or debt secured thereby, the purchaser thereof or other person
acquiring title thereto through or by virtue of such sale or other disposition
shall take title thereto subject to this Lease and all rights of Tenant
hereunder; (III) upon termination of any such underlying lease, that lessor
shall accept Tenant's attornment upon all the terms and conditions of this Lease
for the balance of the term hereof. Any such written agreement shall also
reserve to the Interested Party the rights specified in section D hereof.
21
C. Upon any foreclosure sale on any such mortgage or termination of any
underlying lease, if the holder of the mortgage or other purchaser at
foreclosure sale or any lessor with respect to any underlying lease shall so
request, Tenant shall attorn to such holder, purchaser or lessor as Tenant's
landlord under this Lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument
that such holder, purchaser or lessor may reasonably request to evidence such
attornment. Upon such attornment, this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect as a direct lease between such holder, purchaser or lessor and Tenant
upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Lease.
D. In the event that the holder of such mortgage or the lessor under
such underlying lease shall succeed to the interest of Landlord hereunder, such
Interested Party shall not be: (1) liable for any act or omission of any prior
landlord (including Landlord); (ii) liable for the return of any Security
Deposit not actually received by it; (iii) subject to any offsets or defenses
which Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord); (iv)
bound by any Rent or Additional Rent which Tenant might have paid for more than
the current month to any prior landlord (including Landlord); or (v) bound by an
amendment or modification of this Lease made without its written consent.
E. Within ten (10) days after written request from Landlord from time

force and effect, or is in full force and effect as modified and stating the
modifications; (ii) the amount of Minimum Annual Rent and the date to which
Minimum Annual Rent and Additional Rent have been paid in advance; and (iii)
that Landlord is not in default hereunder or, if Xxxxxxxx is claimed to be in
default, stating the nature of any claimed default; (iv) the amount of Security
Deposit Landlord is holding and (v) any options to renew or purchase that Tenant
may have. Within ten (10) days after written request from Tenant from time to
time, Landlord shall execute and deliver to Tenant, or Xxxxxx's designee, a
written statement certifying, (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full
force and effect, or is in full force and affect as modified and stating the
modification; (ii) the amount of Minimum Annual Rent and the date to which
Minimum Annual Rent and Additional Rent have been paid in advance; and (iii)
that Tenant is not in default hereunder, or if Xxxxxx is claimed to be in
default, stating the nature of any claimed default.
21. Notices. All bills, statements, notices or communications which either party
hereto may desire or be required to give to the other shall be deemed
sufficiently given or rendered if in writing and either hand delivered to
Landlord or Tenant or sent by registered or certified mail or overnight courier,
postage prepaid, addressed to Landlord or Tenant at the address set forth on the
first page hereof or any other address pursuant to notice given as herein set

overnight courier or three (3) days after depositing in the mail, as the case
may be.
22. Holding Over. Should Tenant continue to occupy the Demised Premises after
expiration of the term of this Lease or any renewals thereof, or after a
forfeiture incurred such tenancy shall (without limitation on any of Landlord's
rights or remedies therefore) be one at sufferance from month to month at a
minimum monthly rent equal to twice the rent payable for the previous month of
the term of this Lease.
23. Brokers. Tenant represents and warrants that it has not employed any broker
or agent as its representative in the negotiation for or the obtaining of this
Lease other than Landlord's leasing agent, and agrees to indemnify and hold
Landlord harmless from and against any and all cost or liability for
compensation claimed by any broker or agent other than Landlord's leasing agent
with whom it has dealt or claimed to have been engaged by Xxxxxx.
22
24. 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 entire Property or, if different, the party holding and exercising the
right, as against all others (except space tenants of Building) to possession of
the entire Property. 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no mortgagee or ground lessor which shall succeed to the interest of Landlord
hereunder (either in terms of ownership or possessory rights) shall: (1) be
liable for any previous act or omission of a prior landlord; (2) be subject to
any rental offsets or defenses against a prior landlord; (3) be bound by any
amendment of this Lease made without its written consent, or by payment by
Tenant of rent in advance in excess of one (1) month's rent; or (4) be liable
for any Security Deposit not actually received by it. 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 Property. 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 Property, 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.
25. 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
this Lease, in whole or in part, unless such agreement is in writing and signed
by the party against whom enforcement of the change, modification, discharge or
abandonment is sought.
26. Captions. The caption of the paragraphs in this Lease are inserted and
included solely for convenience and shall not be considered or given any affect
in construing the provisions hereof.
27. Construction of Lease. If any term of this Lease, or the application thereof
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.
23
28. Mechanic's Liens, etc.
X. Xxxxxx, shall comply with the Mechanic's Lien Law of the State of
Florida as set forth in Florida Statutes, Chapter 713. Tenant will not create or
permit to be created or remain as a result of any action or work done or
contracted for by Tenant, and will discharge, any lien, encumbrance or charge
(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
impaired; provided that any mechanic's, laborer's or materialmen's lien may be
discharged in accordance with Subparagraph B of this Paragraph 28.
B. If any mechanic's, 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 Tenant,
Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after notice of the filing thereof, will cause
it to be discharged or 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, expanses, 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
competent jurisdiction or otherwise, together with interest thereon, at the
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
Additional Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord upon demand.
C. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed in any
way as constituting the consent or request of Landlord, express or implied by
inference or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer or materialman
for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials 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 Mechanic's Lien Law of the State of Florida
in any way, it being expressly understood that Landlord's estate shall not be
subject to any such liability.
D. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this
Lease, it is expressly understood and agreed that the interest of the Landlord
shall not be subject to liens for improvements made by Tenant in and to the
Demised Premises, Tenant shall notify each and every contractor making any such
improvements of the provision set forth in the preceding sentence of this
paragraph. The parties agree to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord
without charge a Xxxxxxxx's 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.

street address of the Building.
24

Premises used for shafts, pipes, conduits, fan rooms, ducts, electric or other
utilities, sinks or other facilities are reserved to Landlord.
F. Common Areas and Parking Facilities. The exclusive right to manage
the Common Areas and the Parking Facilities.
30. Landlord's Lien. In addition to any statutory Landlord's Lien, Landlord
shall have, at all times, a valid security interest to secure payment of all
Minimum Annual Rental, Additional Rent, and other sums of money becoming due
hereunder from Tenant, and to secure payment of any damages or loss which
Landlord may suffer by reason of the breach by Tenant of any covenant, agreement
or condition contained herein, upon all goods, wares, equipment, fixtures,
furniture, types, improvements and other personal property of Tenant presently
or which may hereinafter be situated in the Demised Premises, and all proceeds
therefrom, and such property shall not be removed therefrom without the consent
of Landlord until all arrearages in Minimum Annual Rental, Additional Rent, and
all other sums of money then due to Landlord hereunder shall first have been
paid and discharged and all of the covenants, agreements, and conditions hereof
have been fully complied with and performed by Xxxxxx. In consideration of this
Lease, upon the occurrence of any event of default by Tenant, Landlord may, in
addition to any other remedies provided herein, enter upon the Demised Premises

improvements and other personal property of Tenant situated on or in the Demised
Premises, without liability for trespass or conversation, and sell the same at
public or private sale, with or without having such property at the sale, after
giving Tenant reasonable notice of the time and place or any public sale or of
the time after which any private sale is to be made, at which sale the Landlord
or its assigns may purchase the above described Property unless otherwise
prohibited by law. Unless otherwise provided by law, and without intending to
exclude any other manner of giving Tenant reasonable notice, the requirement of
reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is given in the manner prescribed
in Paragraph 20 of this Lease at least five (5) days before the time of sale.
The proceeds from any such disposition, less any and all expenses connected with
the taking of possession and selling of the property (including reasonable
attorney's fees and other expenses) shall be applied as a credit against the
indebtedness secured by the security interest granted in this Paragraph 29. Any
surplus shall be paid to Tenant or as otherwise required by law, and Tenant
shall pay any deficiencies upon demand. Upon request by Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx agrees
to execute and deliver to Landlord a financing statement in form sufficient to
perfect the security interest of Landlord in the aforementioned property and
proceeds thereof under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code in force in
the state of Florida. Any statutory lien for Rent is not hereby waived, the
security interest herein granted being in addition and supplementary thereto.
25
31. Rules and Regulations. Tenant covenants and agrees that it shall comply with
and observe all nondiscriminatory, uniformly applied reasonable rules and
regulations ("Rules and Regulations") which Landlord shall from time to time

MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE,
TENANT'S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE DEMISED PREMISES, THE BUILDING OR THE PARKING
FACILITIES AND/OR ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE.
33. Radon Gas. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has
accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to
persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of Radon that exceed federal and
state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional information
regarding Radon and Radon testing may be obtained from your county public health
unit.
34. No Option. The submission of this Lease to Tenant for examination does not
constitute a reservation of or option for the Demised Premises and this Lease
becomes effective as a lease only upon execution and delivery thereof by the
Landlord and Tenant.
35. Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
Landlord shall not be deemed in default with respect to the delivery of the
Demised Premises or any other obligation of Landlord hereunder, if Xxxxxxxx's
inability to perform is due to any strike, lockout, civil commotion, warlike
operation, invasion, rebellion, hostilities, military or usurped power,
governmental regulation, moratoriums or controls, acts of God or any other cause
beyond the control of Landlord, provided that such cause is not due to the
willful act or negligence of Landlord.
Landlord and Tenant understand, agree, and acknowledge that: This Lease
has been freely negotiated by both parties; and that, in any controversy,
dispute, or contest over the meaning, interpretation, validity, or
enforceability of this Lease or any of its terms or conditions, there shall be
