W I T N E S E T H:
The
Landlord hereby leases and rents unto the Tenant and the Tenant hereby hires and takes from the
Landlord the “Leased Premises” (as defined below), to wit:
Space designated as Suites 101 through 105, comprising approximately 19,950 square feet, as
depicted on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Leased Premises”) and located at 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx
Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, on the real property more particularly described on Exhibit B
attached hereto (the “Property”), being a part of the building designated as “Building 8201” (the
“Building”), said Building, Property and any other building, improvements and facilities located
upon the Property forming a part of the Phase I complex and related facilities (the “Project”)
owned by the Landlord and being a part of the entire business park known as Cypress Point Business
Park at Cypress Plaza (the “Park”).
1. Upon the terms and conditions hereof, Tenant agrees to lease and hold the Leased Premises from
Landlord and Landlord agrees to lease the Leased Premises to Tenant for a term of sixty (60) months
beginning on the “Commencement Date” (as defined in Paragraph 4 below).
2. Rents.
(a) Base Rent. Beginning on the Commencement Date and for the first twelve (12) months of
this Lease, Tenant shall pay a monthly base rent of
$ 1 plus
applicable Florida sales tax of
$ 2 for
a monthly total of
$ 3. Thereafter, the base rent shall be increased annually by 4 per cent
(4%) per annum, to take effect at each anniversary date of this Lease. Such rent shall
be

2 | SEE ADDENDUM | |

4 | SEE ADDENDUM |
paid in lawful money of the United States monthly, in advance and without notice, set off,
deduction or demand, to Landlord at Landlord’s notice address set forth in this Lease.
(b) Additional Rent and Late Charges. Any and all amounts required to be paid by Tenant
hereunder except base rent and any charges or expenses incurred by Landlord on behalf of Tenant
under the terms of this Lease shall be deemed to be additional rent payable as rent reserved
hereunder (the “additional rent”).
In order to defray the additional expenses involved in collecting and handling delinquent payments,
Tenant shall pay on demand in addition to any base rent or additional rent due hereunder, a late
charge equal to the greater of five per cent (5%) of the base monthly rent or Fifty and No/100
Dollars ($50.00) when any installment of rent is past due more than fifteen (15) days after the due
date thereof. Tenant acknowledges that this charge is made to compensate Landlord for additional
costs incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s failure to pay when due, and is not a payment
for extension of the rent due date. The failure of Landlord to insist upon the payment of late
charges, whether isolated or repeated, shall not be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to collect
such charge for any future delinquencies.
In the event that this Lease either commences or terminates on a day other than the first or last
day of a month, then Tenant shall pay, in advance, base rent for the pro rata portion of said
partial month.
(c) Payment of Operating Costs. In each lease year, in addition to the rentals specified in
Paragraph 2 hereof, and as further additional rent, Tenant will pay to Landlord on the first day of
each month Tenant’s pro rata share (for purposes of this Lease, the term “pro rata share” shall be
equal to the square footage of the Leased Premises as set forth on Page 1 hereof divided by the
total leasable square footage of Building 8201 and 8211 and is initially agreed to be 30% of the
total Operating Costs) of the estimated annual Operating Costs (as hereinafter defined) of the
Project and the common facilities and services of the Park. Based upon Landlord’s most recent
estimation of the annual Operating Costs, Tenant’s initial share of such costs for calendar year
2000 will equal $ 5 per square foot, or $ 6 per month, plus applicable Florida Sales tax of $ 7, for
a monthly total of $
8. This figure shall be adjusted not less frequently than annually, on a
calendar year basis, based upon Landlord’s reasonable estimate of costs for the next ensuing year.
(d) “Operating Costs” Defined. For purposes of this paragraph, “Operating Costs” shall mean
the total cost and expenses actually incurred by Landlord, whether directly, indirectly,

landscaping; (iii) the cost of Landlord’s public liability insurance, property damage insurance,
fire with extended coverage insurance, rent loss insurance, unemployment insurance, workers
compensation insurance and such other premiums for insurance paid by Landlord from time to time;
(iv) all Project repairs except those which are the Landlord’s specific monetary obligation
pursuant to Paragraph 9(c) hereof; (v) line painting, bumpering, resurfacing and recurbing any
portion of the Project, regardless of the cause necessitating the need thereof; (vi) lighting for
common areas; (vii) electricity for common areas; (viii) security expenses, if any; (ix) removal of
trash, rubbish, garbage and other refuse from the common areas; (x) rental on machinery or
equipment used in such maintenance; (xi) the cost of personnel to implement such services, to
direct parking and to police or secure the common areas; (xii) property management fees and
expenses (it being expressly understood that Landlord may, but is not required to retain or
subcontract the property management to one of its subsidiary, parent or sister companies) provided
same do not exceed five percent (5%) of gross receipts as applicable to the Leased Premises for the
accounting period; (xiii) the costs, including interest amortized over its useful life, of any
capital improvement made to the Project by Landlord after the date of this Lease which is required
under any governmental law or regulation that was not applicable to the Project at the time it was
constructed; (xiv) the cost, including interest, amortized over its useful life, of the
installation of any device or other equipment which improves the operating efficiency of any system
within the Leased Premises or of the Project and thereby reduces Operating Costs of the Leased
Premises; (xv) all other expenses which would generally be regarded as operation or maintenance
expenses which would reasonably be amortized over a period not to exceed five (5) years; and (xvi)
all real property taxes and special assessments, including dues and assessments by means of deed
restrictions and/or currently existing owners associations or their successors, which accrue
against the Project during the term of this lease.
The term “Operating Costs” specifically excludes the following: (i) repairs specifically excluded
by Paragraph 9(c) hereof; (ii) repairs, restoration or other
work occasioned by fire, wind, the
elements, or other casualties; (iii) income and franchise taxes of Landlord; (iv) expenses incurred
in the procurement of Tenants, including, without limitation, legal fees and brokerage commissions;
(v) leasing commissions, advertising expenses and expenses for renovating space for new Tenants;
(vi) interest or principal payments on any mortgage or other indebtedness of Landlord except as
specified above; (vii) any depreciation allowance or expense; (viii) Operating Costs which are
otherwise the responsibility of Tenant; (ix) expenses which are properly allocable to a specific
building in the Project other than the Building; and. (x) expenses for services furnished to other
tenants that are beyond those that apply to all tenants of the Project generally. .Except for.the.
Landlord’s specific monetary obligations to repair and maintain the Leased Premises as set forth in
Paragraph 9(c) and the exclusions from the definition of the term “Operating Costs” set forth
above, all of Landlord’s expenses and costs associated with the operation, management, repairs or
maintenance of the Project shall be included as
Operating Costs, it being the intent of the parties that, except as herein qualified this is a
“triple net” lease for the Landlord (presuming one hundred per cent (100%) occupancy).
3
(e) Statement of Payment of Expenses. If the term of this Lease begins after January 1 or
ends prior to December 31, Tenant’s share of Operating Costs shown on the statement delivered at the
end of such year shall be reduced proportionately and paid as aforesaid. Within one hundred twenty
(120) days after the close of each calendar year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement
showing in reasonable detail Tenant’s share of the actual Operating Costs for the immediately
preceding calendar year. However, Landlord’s failure to make any adjustment contemplated herein or
to furnish a statement to Tenant shall not prejudice Landlord’s right to collect the full amounts
of additional rent payable hereunder or Tenant’s right to receive a refund of any excess additional
rent paid by Tenant. In the event Tenant’s share of such Operating Costs is less than the amount
previously anticipated and collected from Tenant by Landlord, Landlord shall refund to Tenant
within thirty (30) days after delivery of the statement the difference between Tenant’s estimated
and actual share of Operating Costs. Tenant’s share of Operating Costs scheduled for the current
calendar year shall be reduced proportionately or, in the event this Lease has terminated, any
excess shall be applied to sums owed to Landlord, and if none, then remitted to Tenant within ten
(10) days after the end of the one hundred twenty (120) day period. In the event Tenant’s share of
such Operating Costs is greater than the amount previously anticipated and collected from Tenant by
Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference between the sums paid by Tenant and the sums
actually due within ten (10) days of Tenant’s receipt of a statement for said amount from Landlord.
Tenant may at its option at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice inspect Landlord’s books
and records kept with respect to Operating Costs. Any such inspection shall be made within one
hundred eighty (180) days after Landlord furnishes the statement required in this Paragraph and
Tenant’s failure to inspect the records and contest the Operating Costs within the one hundred
eighty (180) day period shall be deemed a waiver of Tenant’s right to contest the Operating Costs
for the time period covered by the statement.
3. Use and Possession.
(a) Use. It is understood that the Leased Premises are to be used for general office uses
only and no other use is permitted without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may
be withheld in the absolute discretion of Landlord. Without qualifying the generality of the
foregoing, it is specifically understood that no retail use of the Leased Premises shall be
permitted and no hazardous substances, toxic wastes, asbestos, or petroleum products will be stored
or brought into the Leased Premises except those necessary for the customary maintenance of the
Leased Premises provided same are used, stored and disposed of in accordance with all applicable
laws, rules, ordinances and regulations.
(b) Possession. The Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to have the Leased Premises
completed and ready for possession on or before the Commencement Date barring strikes,
insurrection, acts of God and other casualties or unforeseen events beyond the control of the
Landlord. If Landlord is unable to give possession of the Leased Premises on the Commencement Date
by reason of the holding over of any prior Tenant or Tenants, incomplete construction, or for any
other reason excluding the unavailability of
funds or financing, or unless the same shall result from causes attributable to the Tenant, an
abatement or diminution of the rent to be paid hereunder,
4
for the period of time Landlord is unable to give possession, shall be allowed Tenant and the term
of this Lease shall be extended beyond the agreed expiration date by the number of days possession
was delayed and said abatement of rent shall be the full extent of Landlord’s liability to Tenant
for any loss or damage to Tenant on account of said delay in obtaining possession of the Leased
Premises except Landlord’s gross negligence. If, and only if, the Leased Premises have not been
tendered within sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date specified in this Lease, either
Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease after fifteen (15) days’ written
notice to the other party. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease
pursuant to this Paragraph 3 if Landlord tenders Possession of the Leased Premises in tenantable
condition as required by Paragraph 4 hereof at any time prior to Tenant’s exercise of its
termination right hereunder. In the event neither Landlord nor Tenant has terminated the Lease as
provided herein, the Commencement Date shall be extended by one (1) day for each day beyond the
stated Commencement Date delivery of possession has been delayed.
(c) Expiration of Term. At the expiration of the term hereof, Tenant shall deliver up the
Leased Premises in good repair and condition, ordinary wear and tear and damage resulting from
insured casualty only excepted.
4. Acceptance of Premises and Construction of Leasehold Improvements. Landlord shall, at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense unless otherwise agreed as set forth below, construct improvements
(the “Leasehold Improvements”) to the Leased Premises, in accordance with the plans and
specifications attached hereto as Exhibit C, and shall deliver possession of the Leased Premises to
Tenant on or before August 1, 2000 (the “Commencement Date”). If no work letter is attached,
Landlord shall have no obligation to construct the Leasehold Improvements except to “Building
Standard” finish, and Tenant shall (subject to the provisions of Paragraph 10) be responsible for
all improvements to the Leased Premises required to be made for Tenant’s occupancy thereof. Tenant
agrees to bear the cost of the Leasehold Improvements to the extent they exceed $24.00 per square
foot. The cost for the Leasehold Improvements and any modification thereto shall be set forth in
separate writings signed by Landlord and Tenant and dated the date hereof. Tenant acknowledges that
it has reviewed and accepted the drawings and specifications relative to the Leasehold Improvements
and that the Leased Premises, as improved, will be suitable for the uses specified herein. Upon
Tenant accepting possession of the Leased Premises after construction of the Leasehold Improvements
and subject to completion by Landlord of the punch list items identified by Tenant in writing at a
pre-possession walk-through of the Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Leased
Premises in its then “as is” condition.
5. Sales and Use Tax. Any sales, use or other tax, excluding State and/or Federal Income
Taxes imposed on Landlord, now or hereafter imposed on any payments required to be made under this
Lease by the United States of America, the State, or any political subdivision thereof, shall be
paid monthly or annually as required as additional rent by the Tenant notwithstanding the fact that
such statute, ordinance or enactment imposing the same may endeavor to impose the tax on the
Landlord. Landlord hereby places
Tenant on notice that the State of Florida currently imposes sales tax on the base rent and
additional rent due under this Lease from Tenant at the rate of six and
5
one-half percent (6.5%), which tax is to be paid to Landlord as and when said payments of base
rent and additional rent are made.
6. Notices. For the purpose of notice or demand, the respective parties shall be served in writing
either by personal delivery, by guaranteed overnight delivery service or by certified mail, return
receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the Tenant at the Leased Premises with a copy
addressed to the Tenant at its home office address if stated herein, or addressed to the Landlord
as shown on Page 1 hereof. Notice given by personal delivery or guaranteed overnight delivery shall
be deemed received when receipt is acknowledged or delivery refused by the intended recipient, or
on the third (3rd) business day following depositing of same in the U.S. Mail in the case of notice
by certified mail.
7. Ordinances and Regulations. The Tenant, at its sole expense, hereby covenants and agrees to
comply with all the rules and regulations of the Board of Fire Underwriters and Officers or Boards
of the City, County or State having jurisdiction over the Leased Premises, and with all ordinances,
regulations and governmental authorities wherein the Leased Premises are located, but only insofar
as any of such rules, ordinances and regulations pertain to the use Tenant is making of the Leased
Premises. Tenant shall not permit noxious or offensive odors to emanate from the Leased Premises or
otherwise engage in any activity or inactivity which would constitute a nuisance. Tenant
acknowledges that Landlord, its agents, representatives, and governmental authorities, including,
without limitation, Fire Marshals or Health Inspectors, may inspect the Leased Premises at any
reasonable time and, in the event that Tenant is deemed to be in non-compliance with this Paragraph
7 or any governmental rules, regulations or ordinances, then Tenant shall promptly remedy such
non-compliance, paying all costs, expenses, fees or fines associated therewith and, in the event
Tenant does not so promptly remedy such non-compliance, then Landlord may, but is under no
obligation to, remedy the same and recover all expenses relating thereto from Tenant unless such
remedy is required as a result of deficiencies in the initial construction of the Premises by
Landlord or its contractors. In the event that Landlord’s premium increases as a result of the
nature or manner of the use or occupancy of the Leased Premises by the Tenant, then Tenant shall
pay such increases as additional rent hereunder.
8. Signage. The Tenant will not place any signs or other advertising matter or materials on the
exterior or on the interior where they can be seen from any exterior portion of the Leased Premises
or the Project without the prior written consent of the Landlord which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Landlord may adopt from time to time uniform signage requirements for the
Project and construct such signage for the Project, in which event the costs and expenses
associated therewith shall be included in the Operating Costs.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant is required, after receiving Landlord’s
prior written approval, to place a sign on the Leased Premises identifying the name of Tenant’s
business no later than forty-five (45) days following the date of occupancy.
6
9. Utilities and Maintenance.
(a) Utilities. Tenant shall pay the cost of water, gas, electricity, fuel, light, heat, power and
all other utilities or services furnished to the Leased Premises or used by Tenant in conjunction
therewith, whether such utility costs are determined by separate metering or are billed by Landlord
to Tenant as Tenant’s proportionate share of the utility costs. In addition, Tenant shall pay its
pro rata share of all charges for trash collection services or other sanitary services rendered to
the Leased Premises or used by Tenant in connection therewith, unless Tenant has contracted
directly for such services which will be billed directly to and paid by Tenant. Tenant hereby
agrees not to place hazardous or toxic substances or materials in the trash collection facilities,
wastewater or sewage systems provided by Landlord. In no event shall Landlord be liable for any
interruption or failure in the supply of any such utilities to the Leased Premises unless such
interruption is due solely to the willful act or gross negligence of Landlord.
If Tenant shall require water in the Leased Premises or other unmetered utility in excess of that
usually furnished or supplied to the Leased Premises when used as general office space, or which
will in any way increase the amount of water or utilities usually furnished, Tenant will procure
written approval from Landlord and make arrangements to pay periodically for the additional direct
expense involved, including any installation costs thereof with said costs to be based on historic
evidence of water usage within the Building taking into consideration the uses made by its
occupants.
(b) Tenant’s Obligations of Maintenance, Repair and Replacement. Subject to the provisions of
Paragraphs 13 and 18(b)(vii) hereof, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, keep the
Leased Premises and every part thereof in its presently existing condition excepting only ordinary
wear and tear, and in good condition and repair except as hereinafter provided with respect to
Landlord’s obligations. Tenant’s obligations shall include, without limitation, the maintenance and
repair of any doors, window casements, window panes, glazing, plumbing, pipes, electrical wiring
and conduits, and the heating and air conditioning system servicing the Leased Premises. Tenant
shall not be held responsible for any plumbing or water line repairs or maintenance beyond the
lines that specifically service Tenant’s Premises. Tenant shall obtain a service contract in form
and substance acceptable to Landlord for the repair and maintenance thereof of the heating and air
conditioning system servicing the Leased Premises. A duplicate copy of such contract and any
amendments or renewals thereof shall be delivered to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after Tenant
first obtains such contract, renewal or amendment. Tenant’s obligations shall further include the
replacement of (i) doors, window casements, window panes, glazing and (ii) plumbing, pipes,
electrical wiring and conduits which are related to Tenant improvements but not those which are
part of the base building. The cost of all repairs and replacements to the Leased Premises caused
by the act, omission or negligence of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractor, shall be at
Landlord’s sole cost and expenses. If the Tenant refuses to properly carry out any maintenance,
repair and replacement as required pursuant to this Paragraph 9 to the reasonable satisfaction of
Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated, upon fifteen (15) days’ prior written
notice (except in the case emergency) perform such maintenance or repair without being liable for
any loss or damage
7
that may result to Tenant’s merchandise, fixtures or other property and Tenant shall pay to the
Landlord upon demand the Landlord’s costs relating to any such maintenance or repair. The Tenant
agrees that the making of any maintenance, repair and replacement by the Landlord pursuant to this
Paragraph 9 is not a re-entry or a breach of any covenant for quiet enjoyment contained in this
Lease.
(c) Landlord’s Obligations of Maintenance, Repair and Replacement. Subject to the conditions set
forth herein and the provisions of Paragraph 13 hereof and notwithstanding the preceding Paragraph
9(b), Landlord shall repair and maintain only the roof, foundation and load-bearing walls of the
Building and the Leased Premises, exterior wall assemblies, exterior weather walls, subfloor,
structural columns and beams, any sprinkler system installed by Landlord for the control of fire,
and underground utility, sewer pipes, water lines, electric lines to the Leased Premises (unless
such utilities and pipes are required to be maintained by a third party) plumbing, pipes,
electrical wiring and conduits which are part of the base building, HVAC duct work and replacement
of air handlers unless such maintenance and repair are caused in part or in whole by breaking or
entering or the act, omission or negligence of Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors, in
which event the maintenance, repair or replacement shall be paid by Tenant. None of such persons
shall be permitted upon the roof of the Leased Premises or other buildings in the Project for any
reason without the Landlord’s prior written consent except in the case of an emergency or unless
access is required by Tenant to repair or maintain a system installed by Tenant or on Tenant’s
behalf on the roof provided prior notice is given to Landlord, said repair does not involve
disturbing a roof penetration already made or installing a new roof penetration and said repair can
be undertaken and completed without damaging the roof. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify Landlord
for all damages suffered by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s use of the roof access rights granted
hereby and Landlord will have no obligations with respect to maintenance or repair of the roof if
Tenant, its agents, servants, employees or invitees enter upon the roof of the Leased Premises
without prior written consent as required hereby (except in an emergency) regardless of whether
such entry caused or necessitated the need for such repair or maintenance. Landlord shall not be
liable for any failure to make such repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall
persist for an unreasonable time after written notice of the need for such repairs or maintenance
is given to Landlord by Tenant. In the event Tenant fails to notify Landlord in accordance herewith
of any defective condition actually known to Tenant which Landlord is required to repair hereunder
and if Landlord does not have actual notice of the condition, Tenant shall be responsible to
Landlord for any extraordinary costs and expenses, as well as damages and liabilities incurred by
Landlord which are proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to so notify Landlord. Except in the case
of Landlord’s negligence, there shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by
reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the making of any
repairs, alterations, or improvements in or to any portion of the Leased Premises
or the Project or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein. Tenant waives the right
to make repairs at Landlord’s expense or to withhold rent for non-repair under any law, statute or
ordinance now or hereafter in effect except in the event of an
emergency. Except for the repair,
replacement and maintenance obligations of the Landlord relating to the foundation, load-bearing
walls, exterior wall assemblies or a weather wall, sub-flooring,
structural columns and beams, Landlord shall be entitled to
reimbursement for repair, maintenance and replacement made by
8
Landlord unless such expenses will be capitalized over a period of greater than five (5) years
under GAAP, this Lease otherwise constituting a “triple net” lease as between Tenant and Landlord.
10. Alterations. Tenant shall not make additions, alterations, changes or improvements in or to the
Leased Premises or any part thereof (excluding trade fixtures and typical office partitions)
without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
with respect to alterations, changes or improvements which do not affect the structure, tenant
improvements, or outward appearance of the Leased Premises. In the event that Landlord consents to
such additions, alterations, changes or improvements, then all additions, alterations, changes or
improvements shall be constructed at Tenant’s sole expense and shall, upon completion thereof,
become the property of Landlord; provided, however, Landlord may, at its option, require Tenant, at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to remove any such additions, alterations, changes or improvements
at the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, and to repair any damages to the Leased
Premises caused by such removal provided Landlord has informed Tenant of such requirement at the
time of Landlord’s approval. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and defend Landlord against, and
shall keep the Leased Premises, Building, Project and Park free from all mechanics’ liens and other
such liens arising from any work performed, material furnished, or obligations incurred by Tenant
or at the direction of Tenant in connection with the Leased Premises, and agrees to obtain the
discharge of any lien which attaches as a result of such work immediately after such lien attaches
or payment for the labor or material is due. Notice is hereby given to all Tenant’s contractors,
subcontractors, materialmen or suppliers that Landlord is not liable
for any labor or materials
furnished to Tenant on credit and no mechanics’ or other liens shall attach to or affect Landlord’s
interest in the Project, Building, Leased Premises, or Park as a result thereof. Landlord hereby
reserves the right at any time and from time to time, during the term hereof, to make any
additions, alterations, changes or improvements (including without limitation, building additional
stories) on, in, or to the Building and Project, and to build additional structures adjoining
thereto, provided same does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises.
Any of Tenant’s alterations, additions, changes or improvements shall be made at such times and in
such manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the occupation, use and enjoyment of the
remainder of the Project by the other tenants thereof.
11. Quiet Enjoyment. The Landlord covenants and agrees that Tenant, upon paying the rent and
performing the covenants herein required, shall and may peaceably and quietly
hold and enjoy the Leased Premises for the term aforesaid subject, nevertheless, to the terms of
this Lease and to any mortgages, leases, agreements and encumbrances to which this Lease is or may
be made subordinate. Tenant agrees to occupy and use the Leased Premises in such a manner so as to
not disturb the quiet enjoyment of any other part of the Project or Park by the other owners and
tenants thereof.
12. Landlord’s Right to Inspect and Enter. The Landlord shall have the right upon twelve (12)
hours’ advance notice (which may be oral and may be given to a representative of Tenant at the
Leased Premises), at reasonable times during the term of this Lease (or at any time in the event
of
9
an emergency), to enter the Leased Premises, Building and Project for the purpose of examining or
inspecting same and of making such repairs or alterations therein as the Landlord shall deem
necessary, and may, at any time within six (6) months immediately preceding the expiration of the
specified term, show the Leased Premises to others for the purpose of rental or at any time show
the Leased Premises, Building and Project to a prospective purchaser and may affix to suitable
parts of the Leased Premises, Building and Project a notice of Landlord’s intention to lease or
sell same.
13. Fire or Casualty. If the Leased Premises or Building are damaged by fire or other casualty,
Landlord will to the extent that the insurance proceeds available to Landlord are adequate to fully
pay the costs of such repair and restoration, promptly repair the damage and restore the following
portions of the Leased Premises and Building to their condition existing immediately prior to the
occurrence of the casualty: the roof, load-bearing demising walls, foundation, utility
infrastructure originally provided by Landlord, exterior wall assemblies, exterior weather walls,
subfloor, structural columns and beams, and the Leasehold Improvements made by Landlord pursuant to
Paragraph 4 of this Lease. If the reasonable time for completing any such restoration or repair is
longer than one hundred twenty (120) days, either party shall have the option to terminate this
Lease by giving notice of termination to the other party, which notice shall be given within thirty
(30) days after the date of the casualty or given by Tenant within thirty (30) days after notice
from Landlord that restoration will take longer than one hundred twenty (120) days. In the event
Landlord repairs and restores those portions of the Leased Premises and Building which it is
required to repair or restore pursuant to this Paragraph 13, Tenant shall promptly make, at its
sole cost and expense, all other repairs and replacements to the Leased Premises which are required
to restore the Leased Premises to substantially the same condition existing immediately prior to
such casualty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the damage or destruction to the
Leased Premises occurs within one (1) year of the expiration of the then existing term of the Lease
or if the damage or destruction to the Leased Premises or the Building is so substantial that it
has destroyed the Leased Premises or said Building to the extent of fifty per cent (50%) or more of
the replacement cost of either the Leased Premises or the Building, either Landlord or Tenant shall
have the option to terminate the Lease by giving written notice to the other within thirty (30)
days after the date of the casualty. The base rent shall xxxxx from the date of the casualty in
proportion to the impairment of the use that Tenant can reasonably make of the Leased Premises
until the Leased Premises
are restored or until the Lease is terminated in accordance with this Paragraph 13, provided the
insurance proceeds under Landlord’s Rent Loss insurance policy will cover the amount of the
abatement. The Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or interruption of the business
of the Tenant occasioned by fire or other casualty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Lease, Landlord shall have no obligation to insure the Project, the Leased Premises, the
Building, or any portions thereof or any contents, property or other items located thereon or
therein, either presently or in the future.
14. Condemnation. If any part of the Leased Premises or Building is taken by eminent domain or
condemnation or voluntarily transferred to such authority under the threat thereof, Landlord may,
at its sole option, terminate the Lease by giving written notice to Tenant within forty-five (45)
days after the taking, or if by reason of such taking of the Leased Premises, Tenant’s
10
operation on or access to the Leased Premises is substantially and materially impaired, Tenant
shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Landlord within
forty-five (45) days after the taking. After such taking and as of such date, the rent will be
adjusted in proportion to the impairment of the use that Tenant can reasonably make of the balance
of the Leased Premises. If the Leased Premises are damaged or if access to the Leased Premises is
impaired by reason of such taking and neither Landlord nor Tenant elects to terminate this Lease as
provided herein, Landlord will promptly rebuild or repair the damage to the extent possible within
the limitations of the available condemnation award. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it may
have in all condemnation awards including, without limitation, loss of or damage to its leasehold
estate, and hereby assigns said claims to Landlord except such awards as are separately and
specifically awarded to Tenant for its separate personal property, moving expenses and business
damages.
15. Assignment and Sublease. Tenant may assign its interest in the Lease or sublet all or any
portion of the Leased Premises at any time to any party without Landlord’s consent, but such
assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant of its obligations hereunder. Tenant may assign
this Lease and shall be relieved of liability hereunder which accrues subsequent to the assignment
if the assignee assumes the obligations herein, has a favorable business reputation and has a GAAP
net worth equal to or greater than the Tenant immediately preceding the transfer. Tenant agrees to
obtain from a proposed assignee and furnish to Landlord all information reasonably required by
Landlord to make said determination. Tenant may not otherwise transfer, hypothecate, mortgage or
pledge its interest in the Lease without Landlord’s prior written consent which may be arbitrarily
withheld.
16. Holdover. Any holding over by the Tenant after the expiration of this Lease shall be construed
as a tenancy at sufferance month to month, upon the same terms and conditions of this Lease, except
at a base rent for such holdover period of one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the base rent
rate in effect for the month preceding such holdover. Acceptance by the Landlord of rent after such
termination shall not constitute a renewal.
17. Subordination. This Lease shall be subject and subordinated at all times to the terms of any
and all ground or underlying leases which now exist or may hereafter be executed affecting the
Leased Premises, Building, or the Project and to the liens of any and all mortgages or deeds of
trust in any amount or amounts whatsoever, whether now existing or hereafter created, encumbering
all or any combination of the Leased Premises, the Building or the Project, without the necessity
of having further instruments executed by the Tenant to effect such subordination. In furtherance
thereof, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall not have the authority without first obtaining the
written consent of any mortgagee, to consent to the cancellation or surrender of this lease, or
accept prepayment of rents, issues or profits under the lease, other than as provided for in this Lease,
nor to modify this Lease so as to shorten the term, decrease the rent, accelerate the payment of
rent, or change the terms of any renewal option, and any such purported assignment, cancellation,
surrender, prepayment or modification made without the written consent of the mortgagee shall be
void as against the mortgagee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant has executed the Subordination
Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D and covenants and agrees to
11
execute and deliver upon demand such further instruments, evidencing such subordination of this
Lease to such ground or underlying leases and to the lien of any and all such mortgages or deeds of
trust as may be reasonably requested by Landlord. If Tenant shall fail to execute and deliver such
instruments within fifteen (15) days of Landlord’s request, Landlord is hereby granted power of
attorney to execute such instruments in the name of Tenant as the act and deed of Tenant, and this
authorization is hereby declared to be coupled with an interest and is irrevocable during the term
of this Lease. In the event of termination, for any reason whatsoever, of any underlying lease, or
if the Leased Premises, Building or Project is sold to a purchaser, or any mortgage holder or
holder of deed of trust succeeds to ownership of the Leased Premises, Building or Project by reason
of a foreclosure, deed in lieu therefor or otherwise, then Tenant shall, at such successor’s
request, be and become the tenant of such underlying landlord, purchaser, mortgagee or holder of
deed of trust and shall attorn to same under this Lease.
18. Indemnity, Waiver and Insurance.
(a) (i) Tenant’s Indemnity. Tenant will indemnify, defend and save Landlord, its employees, agents
and contractors, harmless from and against any and all actions,
damages, liability and expenses in
connection with the loss of life, personal injury, property damage, or loss or damage of whatever
nature, to third parties caused by or resulting from, or claimed to have been caused by or to have
resulted from, wholly or in part, any act, omission or negligence of Tenant or anyone claiming
under Tenant (including, but without limitation, Tenant’s subtenants, concessionaires, agents,
employees, servants and contractors). This indemnity, defense and hold harmless agreement shall
include indemnity against all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any such
injury, loss or damage or any such claim, or any proceedings brought thereon or the defense thereof
including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. If Tenant or anyone
claiming under Tenant or the whole or any
part of the property of Tenant shall be injured, lost or damaged by theft, fire, water or steam or
in any other way or manner whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, no part of said injury,
loss or damage is to be borne by the Landlord or its agents unless caused by the negligence of
Landlord. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant
for any injury, loss, or damage caused by or resulting from the act, omission, default or
negligence of any persons occupying adjoining premises or any other part of the Building or Project.
In case the Landlord shall, without fault on its part, be made a party to any litigation commenced
by or against Tenant, the Tenant shall protect, indemnify, and defend with counsel reasonably
acceptable to Landlord, and hold Landlord harmless and shall pay all costs, expenses and reasonable
attorneys’ fees incurred or paid by Landlord in connection with such litigation. Landlord agrees to
give Tenant timely notice of any claims for which indemnity will be sought. The obligations set
forth in this paragraph shall survive the expiration or sooner termination
of the Lease.
(ii) Landlord’s Indemnity. Landlord will indemnify, defend and save Tenant, its employees, agents
and contractors, harmless from and against any and all actions, damages, liability and expenses in
connection with the loss of life, personal injury, property damage, or loss or damage of whatever
nature, to third parties caused by or resulting from, or claimed to have been
12
caused by or to have resulted from, wholly or in part, any act, omission or negligence of Landlord
or anyone claiming under Landlord (including, but without limitation, Landlord’s subtenants,
concessionaires, agents, employees, servants and contractors). This indemnity, defense and hold
harmless agreement shall include indemnity against all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in
connection with any such injury, loss or damage or any such claim, or any proceedings brought
thereon or the defense thereof including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’
fees. In case the Tenant shall, without fault on its part, be made a party to any litigation
commenced by or against Landlord, the Landlord shall protect, indemnify, and defend with counsel
reasonably acceptable to Tenant and hold Tenant harmless, and shall pay all costs, expenses and
reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred or paid by Tenant in connection with such litigation. Tenant
agrees to give Landlord timely notice of any claims for which indemnity will be sought. The
obligations set forth in this paragraph shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the
Lease.
(b) Insurance Required of Tenant. Tenant will carry and maintain, at its sole cost and expense, the
following types of insurance with respect to the Leased Premises, in the amounts specified and in
the form hereinafter provided for:
(i) Comprehensive General Liability Insurance. Comprehensive general liability insurance
with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence and
$1,000,000.00 aggregate for bodily injury and property damage insuring against legal
liability of the insured with respect to said Leased Premises or arising out of the
maintenance, use or occupancy thereof.
Said insurance shall include, but not be limited to, independent contractor liability,
products and completed operations coverage, and the Broad Form Comprehensive General
Liability Endorsement, including personal injury and advertising liability, contractual
liability and premises medical payments.
(ii) Comprehensive Automobile Liability Insurance. Comprehensive automobile liability
insurance with a limit of not less than $500,000.00 per occurrence for bodily injury and

occurrence.
(iv) Property Insurance. “All Risk” property insurance including plate glass
coverage on a replacement cost basis, with coverage equal to not less than ninety per cent (90%) of
the full replacement value of all personal property, decorations, trade fixtures, furnishings,
equipment, alterations, leasehold improvements and betterments made by Tenant, and all other
contents located or placed therein. In the event any casualty occurs, Tenant agrees to pay the
difference between the insurance coverage required to be maintained by this subparagraph 18(b)(iv)
and an insurance policy offering coverage of one hundred per cent (100%) of the full replacement
value of the property described in this subparagraph.
13
(v) Workers’ Compensation Insurance. If required by law, Workers’ Compensation
Insurance covering the employees of Tenant.
(vi) Policy Form. All policies of insurance provided for herein shall be issued by
insurance companies with general policyholders’ rating of not less than “A” Class VI as rated in
the most current available “Best’s Insurance Reports” and licensed to do business in the State of
Florida and in good financial standing, and general liability and umbrella liability policies shall
be issued in the names of Landlord, Tenant and other such persons or firms as Landlord specifies
from time to time. Such policies shall be for the mutual and joint benefit and protection of
Landlord, Tenant and others specified in this Lease, and certificates of insurance enumerating the
above coverages and naming Landlord as an additional insured shall be delivered to the Landlord
within ten (10) days after delivery of possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant and thereafter
within ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the term of each such policy. As often as any such
policy shall expire or terminate, renewal or additional policies shall be procured and maintained
by the Tenant in like manner and amounts and to like extent. All certificates delivered to the
Landlord must contain a provision that Tenant’s Insurer will endeavor to give thirty (30) days’
notice in writing in advance of any cancellation or lapse or the effective date or any material
change in coverage. All public liability, property damage and other casualty policies shall be
written as primary policies, not contributing with and not as excess coverage to that which the
Landlord may carry.
The
minimum limits of the liability policies of insurance set forth in subparagraphs 18(b)(i) -
(iii) above shall be subject to reasonable increase at any time, and from time to time provided the
total coverages required to be maintained by Tenant are either required by its mortgagee or are not
substantially greater than the limits generally required to be maintained by tenants occupying
similar space for comparable uses in the City of Jacksonville, Florida. Within thirty (30) days
after demand therefor by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with evidence of Tenant’s
compliance with such demand.
Tenant agrees, at its own expense, to comply with all rules and regulations of the Fire Insurance
Rating Organization having jurisdiction of the Demised Premises and to comply with all requirements
imposed by Landlord’s insurance carrier, if any. If gas is used in the Demised Premises, Tenant
shall install, at its expense, both manual and automatic gas cut-off devices.
(vii) Failure of Tenant to Obtain Insurance. In the event that Tenant fails to timely
procure and/or continuously maintain any insurance required by this Section 18, or fails to carry
insurance required by law or governmental regulation, Landlord may (but without obligation to do so
and without notice to Tenant) at any time and from time to time, and in addition to all
other remedies available to Landlord, procure such insurance and pay
the premiums therefor, in which
event Tenant shall repay the Landlord all sums so paid by Landlord, together with interest thereon
at the Default Rate, and any incidental costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in connection
therewith, within ten (10) days following Landlord’s written demand to Tenant for such payment.
14
(viii) Waiver of Liability. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable to each other or to
any insurance company insuring the other party (by way of subrogation or otherwise) for any loss or
damage to their respective properties including, without limitation, any building, structure or
other real or personal property, or any resulting loss of income, or losses under workers’
compensation laws and benefits, even though such loss or damage might have been occasioned by the
negligence of the other party, its agents, employees or contractors. Tenant and Landlord shall,
upon obtaining any policies of insurance, give notice to the insurance carrier or carriers that the
foregoing mutual waiver is contained in this Lease.
19. Access and Operation. Tenant shall have access to the Leased Premises at all hours of
the day or night, provided however, Landlord shall have the right to adopt reasonable rules and
regulations governing access to the Project or Park after normal business hours and to assess any
costs associated with respect to such access as a part of Operating Costs. Tenant understands and
agrees that Landlord shall have no duty to provide security services to Tenant, the Building,
Project or the Leased Premises and Tenant shall look to the public police force, independent
security services or the like, for security protection. If Landlord, from time to time, provides
security services, the costs of such shall be borne by the tenants of the Project as a part of
Operating Costs.
20. Default.
(a) Events of Default. It is mutually agreed that in the event (i) Tenant shall fail to
make payment of base rent or additional rent herein reserved within fifteen (15) days after written
notice that same is delinquent (provided, however, Landlord shall not be required to give notice of
any monetary defaults more often than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period and, in such
event, any subsequent failure to pay any sum when due shall, at Landlord’s option, be an incurable
Event of Default); or (ii) if Tenant shall fail to perform any of the material terms, covenants,
conditions, or provisions of this Lease other than Tenant’s requirement to pay base rent or
additional rent, and to cure such failure within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from
Landlord, unless longer than thirty (30) days is required to reasonably cure such default and
Tenant commences to cure during said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues such
cure to completion; or (iii) if Tenant shall file a voluntary petition under any bankruptcy, or
insolvency law; or (iv) an involuntary petition shall be filed against Tenant under any bankruptcy
or insolvency law and such proceeding is not dismissed within sixty (60) days of the commencement
date; or (v) if a receiver is appointed for Tenant’s property and such proceeding is not dismissed
within sixty (60) days of the commencement date; or (vi) if, whether voluntarily or involuntarily,
Tenant takes advantage of any debtor relief proceedings under any present or future law, whereby
the base rent or additional rent or any part thereof is, or is proposed to be, reduced or payment
thereof deferred; or (vii) if Tenant makes an assignment for benefit of creditors; or (viii) if the
majority of Tenant’s personal property located in the Leased Premises shall be levied upon or
attached under process against Tenant; or (ix) if Tenant abandons or discontinues its occupancy or
use of the Leased Premises and Tenant is otherwise in default of any other of its obligations under
this Lease; then, in any of said events, default shall be deemed to occur hereunder and Landlord, at
its option, may at once or at any time
15
thereafter, proceed according to one or more of the following courses of action, to the fullest
extent permitted by law.
(b) Landlord’s Right to Cure. Landlord may, with or without terminating this Lease,
immediately or at any time thereafter, reenter the Leased Premises and perform, correct or repair
any condition which shall constitute a failure on Tenant’s part to keep, observe, perform,
satisfy, or abide by any term, condition, covenant, agreement, or obligation of Tenant under this
Lease, and Tenant shall fully reimburse and compensate Landlord on demand for all reasonable costs
and expenses incurred by Landlord in such performance, correction or repairing including, without
limitation, interest at the Default Rate.
(c) Demand for Possession. Landlord may, with or without terminating this Lease,
immediately or at any time thereafter, demand in writing that Tenant vacate the Leased Premises
and, unless otherwise requested by Landlord, thereupon Tenant shall vacate the Leased Premises and,
unless otherwise requested by Landlord, remove therefrom all property thereon belonging to or
placed in the Leased Premises by, at the direction of, or with the consent of Tenant, within three
(3) days of receipt by Tenant of such notice from Landlord (which notice may be given by U.S. mail,
certified mail, hand delivery, guaranteed overnight delivery service or, if Tenant is absent from
the Leased Premises, by posting), whereupon Landlord shall have the right to reenter and take
possession of the Leased Premises. Any such demand, reentry and taking possession of the Leased
Premises by Landlord shall not of itself constitute an acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of
this Lease or of the Leased Premises by Tenant and shall not of itself constitute a termination of
this Lease by Landlord.
(d) Reletting. Landlord may, with or without terminating this Lease, immediately or at any
time thereafter, relet the Leased Premises or any part thereof for such term, at such rental and
upon such other terms and conditions as may be commercially reasonable, and Landlord may make any
alterations or repairs to the Leased Premises which it may deem necessary or proper to facilitate
such reletting; and Tenant shall pay all commercially reasonable costs of such reletting including,
but not limited to, the cost of any such alterations and repairs to the Leased Premises, attorneys’
fees, and brokerage commissions; and if this Lease shall not have been terminated Tenant shall
continue to pay all base rent and additional rent and all other charges due under this Lease up to
and including the date of beginning of payment of rent by any subsequent tenant of part or all of
the Leased Premises, and thereafter Tenant shall pay monthly during the remainder of the term of
this Lease the difference, if any, between the rent and other charges collected from any such
subsequent tenant or tenants and the base rent and additional rent and other charges reserved in
this Lease, but Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any excess of any such rents collected over
the base rent and additional rent reserved herein except that such excess, if any, shall be applied
against the costs incurred by Landlord as a result of the defaults.
(e) Termination. Landlord may immediately, or at any time thereafter, terminate this Lease,
and this Lease shall be deemed to have been terminated upon receipt by Tenant of written notice of
such termination. Upon such termination, Landlord shall recover form Tenant all damages
16
Landlord has suffered or may suffer by reason of such termination including, without limitation,
unamortized sums expended by Landlord for construction of tenant improvements, all arrearages in
base rent and additional rent, costs, charges, and reimbursements, the cost (including court costs
and reasonable attorneys’ fees) of recovering possession of the Leased Premises and the cost of any
alteration of or repair to the Leased Premises which is necessary or proper to prepare the same for
reletting. In addition thereto, Landlord, at its election, shall have and recover from Tenant
either (i) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the total amount of all base rent and
additional rent to be paid by Tenant for the remainder of the term of this Lease over the then
reasonable rental value of the Leased Premises for the remainder of the term of this Lease, reduced
to present value, or (ii) the base rent and additional rent and other charges which Landlord would
be entitled to receive from Tenant pursuant to the provisions of subparagraph 20(d) hereinabove if
this Lease were not terminated. Such election shall be made by Landlord by serving written notice
upon Tenant of its choice of one of the two immediately preceding alternative recoveries within
thirty (30) days of the notice of termination by Landlord to Tenant as described in this Paragraph
20(e).
(f) Acceleration. Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, accelerate all sums to become
due under this Lease for the remainder of the term in conjunction with the exercise of any remedy
available to it in this Lease or otherwise.
If Landlord reenters the Leased Premises or terminates this Lease pursuant to any of the provisions
of this Lease, Tenant hereby waives all claims for damages which may be caused by such reentry or
termination by Landlord. No such reentry or termination shall be considered or construed by Tenant
to be a forcible entry.
(g) Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. In the event litigation arises out of or under the terms of
this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to collect from the non-prevailing party all
costs incurred by the prevailing party including, without limitation, court costs, investigation
costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether same are incurred before trial, at trial or on
appeal.
(h) No Waiver by Landlord. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to be a waiver by
Landlord of its statutory lien to rent, and the remedies, rights and privileges of Landlord in the
case of default of Tenant as set forth above shall not be exclusive and in addition thereto
Landlord may also exercise and enforce all its rights at law or in equity which it may otherwise
have as a result of Tenant’s default hereunder. Landlord is herein specifically granted all of the
rights of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Property in
which Landlord has been granted a security interest by Tenant.
21. Notice of Termination Not Required. Notwithstanding the provision of law or any
judicial decision to the contrary, the term hereof shall expire on the date herein provided without
notice being required from either party.
22. Security
Deposit. The Tenant, concurrently with the execution of this
Lease, has deposited with the Landlord the sum of Eighteen Thousand Two Hundred Eighty-Seven and 50/100
17
Dollars ($18,287.50), the receipt being hereby acknowledged, which sum shall be retained by the
Landlord as security for the payment by the Tenant of the rent herein agreed to be paid and for the
faithful performance of the covenants of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the
security deposit is not an advance payment of rent or a measure of Landlord’s damages in case of
default hereunder by Tenant. If at any time the Tenant shall be in default in any of the provisions
of this Lease, the Landlord, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to apply said deposit, or
such portion thereof as may be necessary, in payment of any rent in default as aforesaid and/or in
payment of any expense incurred by the Landlord in and about the curing of any default by Tenant,
and/or in payment of any damages incurred by the Landlord by reason of such default of the Tenant
and/or against the Tenant’s last month’s rent or, at the Landlord’s option, the same may be
retained by the Landlord in liquidation of part of the damages suffered by the Landlord by reason
of the default of the Tenant. Landlord shall be entitled to deposit, apply or otherwise utilize
Tenant’s security deposit as Landlord shall deem appropriate. In no event shall Tenant be entitled
to interest on said deposit, except to the extent required by applicable law. Tenant agrees, upon
Landlord’s request, to deposit such additional monies with Landlord as are required from time to
time to maintain the security deposit at the amount equal to the amount initially deposited by
Tenant with Landlord.
23. Hazardous Substances.
(a) Tenant covenants and agrees that it shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Substances (the
“Hazardous Substances” as hereinafter defined) to be installed, placed, stored, held, located,
released or disposed of in, on, at, or under the Leased Premises, the Building, or the Project
without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be unreasonably, and in Landlord’s sole
discretion, withheld. Tenant further covenants and agrees to indemnify Landlord for any loss, cost,
damage, liability or expense (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and other costs of
legal representation) that Landlord might ever incur because of Tenant’s failure to comply with the
provisions of the immediately preceding sentence. This indemnification is to survive the expiration
or other termination of this Lease. Based on investigations performed by third parties, the
Premises are not contaminated by Hazardous Substances as of the date of this Lease.
(b) For the purposes of this Paragraph 23, Hazardous Substances shall mean and include all those
substances, elements, materials or compounds that are included in any list of hazardous or
restricted substances adopted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) or
any other substance, element, material or compound defined or restricted as a hazardous, toxic,
radioactive or dangerous substance, material or waste by the EPA or by any other ordinance,
statute, law, code, or regulation of any federal, state or local governmental entity or any agency,
department or other subdivision thereof, whether now or later enacted, issued, or promulgated.
24. Rules and Regulations. The rules and regulations pertaining to the Building and Project
attached hereto as Exhibit E and all reasonable rules and regulations which Landlord may hereafter
from time to time adopt for the management of the Leased Premises, Building or Project are hereby made a part of this Lease and shall during the term of
this Agreement be in all respects
18
observed and performed by Tenant and Tenant’s employees, servants, agents, invitees and guests.
Tenant agrees to abide by, uphold and fully comply with the rules and regulations and with such
reasonable modifications thereof and additions thereto as Landlord may make. Tenant further agrees
that Landlord shall have the right to waive any or all such rules in the case of any one or more
tenants in the Building or Project without affecting Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the failure of any other tenant to comply with the
rules and regulations.
25. Rubbish Removal. Tenant shall keep the Leased Premises clean, both inside and outside,
unless such rubbish removal is provided by the Landlord, and will remove all refuse from the Leased
Premises. Tenant shall not burn any materials or rubbish of any description upon the Leased
Premises. Tenant agrees to keep all accumulated rubbish in covered containers and to have same
removed regularly. In the event Tenant fails to keep the Leased Premises in proper condition,
Landlord may cause the same to be done for and on account of Tenant and Tenant hereby agrees to pay
the expense thereof, together with interest at the Default Rate and an administrative fee equal to
ten per cent (10%), on demand as additional rent.
26. Waiver of Liability. Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant
agrees that it shall look solely to the estate and interest of the Landlord in the Project (subject
to prior rights of any mortgagee of the Project) for the collection of any judgment (or other
judicial process) requiring the payment of money by Landlord in the event of any default or breach
by Landlord, with respect to any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be
observed and/or performed by Landlord, and no other assets of Landlord shall be subject to levy,
execution or other procedures for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies.
27. Sale by Landlord. In the event of any transfer or transfers of Landlord’s interest in
the Property other than a transfer for security purposes only, the transferor shall be
automatically relieved of any and all obligations and liabilities on the part of Landlord accruing
from and after the date of such transfer provided the successor landlord assumes Landlord’s
obligations under this Lease arising as of the date of the transfer; provided, however, that any
funds in the hands of Landlord at the time of such transfer in which Tenant has an interest shall
be turned over to the successor landlord and any amounts then due and payable to Tenant by Landlord
under any provision of this Lease shall be paid to Tenant, it being intended hereby that the
covenants and obligations contained in this Lease on the part of Landlord shall, subject as
aforesaid, be binding on Landlord, its successors and assigns, only during and in respect of their
respective successive periods of ownership.
28. Estoppel Letters. Within fifteen (15) days of the request of Landlord, any lender or
prospective lender of the Building or Project, or at the request of any purchaser or prospective
purchaser of the Building or Project, Tenant shall deliver an estoppel certificate, attaching a
true and complete copy of this Lease, including all amendments relative thereto, and certifying
with particularity, among other things, (i) when the last rent was paid; (ii) when the next rent is due and in what amount; (iii) stating whether the Tenant
has prepaid any rent and; if so how much; (iv)
19
stating whether either the Landlord or the Tenant is in default under the Lease and, if so,
summarizing such default(s); and (v) stating whether Tenant or Landlord has any offsets or claims
against the other party and, if so, specifying with peculiarity the nature and amount of such
offset or claim. Landlord shall likewise deliver a similar estoppel certificate within fifteen (15)
days of the request of Tenant, any lender or prospective lender of Tenant, or assignee approved by
Landlord.
29. Late Charges and Default Interest. Any amount of base rent or additional rent not paid
when due hereunder shall earn interest from the date of delinquency at a rate equal to the lesser
of four (4) percentage points above the prime or “standard” rate of interest charged by Chase
Manhattan Bank, New York, New York, or the highest rate allowed by law (the “Default Rate”).
30. Intentional Deleted.
31. Successors and Assigns. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 15 and 27 of this
Lease, this Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
successors, heirs, and assigns of the
parties hereto.
32. Relationship of the Parties. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed as
creating the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or joint venture between the
parties hereto; it being understood and agreed that the method of computing rent, any provision
contained herein, or any acts of the parties hereto shall not be deemed to create any relationship
between the parties other than that of Landlord and Tenant.
33. Entire Agreement. It is agreed between the parties that neither Landlord nor Tenant nor
any of their agents have made any statements, promises or agreements, verbally or in writing, in
conflict with the terms of this Lease. Any and all representations by either of the parties or
their agents made during negotiations prior to the execution of this Lease and which
representations are not contained in the provisions hereof shall not be binding upon either of the
parties hereto. It is further agreed that this Lease contains the entire agreement between the
parties, and no rights are to be conferred upon either party until this Lease has been executed by
Tenant and Landlord.
34. Construction of Language. Words of any gender used in this Lease shall be held to
include any other gender, and words in the singular number shall be held to include the plural when
the sense requires. The paragraph headings and titles are not a part of this Lease and shall have
no effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part hereof.

provision of this Lease shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

the same to be recorded.
39. Law and Venue. This Lease shall be enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of
Florida. The agreed upon venue is Jacksonville, Xxxxx County, Florida.

Property (said portion being hereinafter called the “Leased Premises”); and
WHEREAS, a copy of the Lease has been delivered to Mortgagee, the receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged; and
WHEREAS, Mortgagee is unwilling to make said loan to the Landlord unless the Lease is
