W I T N E S S E T H:
THAT LANDLORD, in consideration of the rents and agreements hereafter promised and agreed by
Tenant to be paid and performed, does hereby lease to Tenant, and Tenant does hereby lease from
Landlord, the Premises described herein, subject to the following terms.
ARTICLE I
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY; TERM
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY; TERM
Section 1.1 Description of Property.
Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord 128,144 rentable
square feet of space identified as Building M (hereinafter referred to as the “Premises”)
approximately as shown on Exhibit “A” attached hereto, which is in “Sawgrass Technology Park”
located at 0000 XX 000xx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx X, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 (hereinafter
referred to as the “Building”) as depicted on the site plan attached hereto as Exhibit “B”. The
Building and the parcel of land on which it is located as legally described in Exhibit “C” is
collectively referred to herein as the “Property”. The “Common Areas” of the Property include such
areas and facilities as delivery facilities, walkways, landscaped and planted areas, and parking
facilities and are those areas designated by Landlord for the general use in common of occupants of
the Property, including Tenant. The Common Areas shall at all times be subject to the exclusive
control and management of Landlord. Landlord may grant third parties specific rights concerning
portions of the Common Areas. Landlord may increase, reduce, improve, or otherwise alter the
Common Areas, otherwise make improvements, alterations, reductions or additions to the Property,
and change the name by which the Property is known. Landlord may also temporarily close the Common
Areas to make repairs, provided that Tenant is provided with unimpeded ingress and egress to and
from the Premises. In addition, Landlord may temporarily close the Property and preclude access to
the Premises in the event of casualty, governmental requirements, acts of terrorism, the threat of
an emergency such as a hurricane or other act of God, or if Landlord otherwise reasonably deems it
necessary in order to prevent damage or injury to person or property. This Lease does not create,
nor will Tenant have any express or implied easement for, or other rights to, air, light, or view
over, from, or about the Property.
Section 1.2 Term.
Tenant shall have and hold the Premises for a term of Sixty Five and One Half (65.5) months
(hereinafter referred to as the “Term” or “Lease Term”), commencing on April 13, 2007
8
(hereinafter the “Commencement Date”), and expiring on September 30, 2012 (the “Expiration Date”).
Tenant agrees that on or prior to the Commencement Date, it will execute an Estoppel Certificate
certifying said dates. Tenant’s failure to execute the Estoppel Certificate shall not affect the
rights and/or obligations of Tenant hereunder or the establishment of the Commencement Date or the
Expiration Date of the Lease Term. Notwithstanding the fact that the Commencement Date of the
Lease Term commences after the date of the execution of this Lease, all of the representations,
warranties, covenants, indemnities and obligations of Landlord and Tenant shall, except as
expressly otherwise set forth in this Lease or unless the context clearly requires otherwise, be
effective and binding on Landlord and Tenant (and enforceable by either) as, of, from and after the
Effective Date of this Lease.
Section 1.3 Option to Renew.
(a) Tenant shall have the option (the “Renewal Option”) to extend the term of this Lease, for
one (1) additional period of five (5) years (being referred to herein as a “Renewal Term”) upon
the terms and conditions contained in this Section if each of the following conditions shall be
fully satisfied: (i) At the time of the exercise of the Renewal Option and at the commencement of
the Renewal Term, this Lease shall be in full force and effect, (ii) the Tenant named in this Lease
shall have continuously occupied the Premises, without interruption, sublease or assignment since
the original Commencement Date through the date of the commencement of the Renewal Term, (iii) no
event of default shall exist at the time of the exercise of the Renewal Option or at the
commencement of the Renewal Term, (iv) no facts or circumstances shall exist at the time of the
exercise of the Renewal Option or at the commencement of the Renewal Term which, with notice and/or
lapse of time, could constitute an event of default, (v) Tenant shall have provided written notice
to Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Lease of Tenant’s exercise of the Renewal Option
(a “Renewal Notice”) and such Renewal Notice shall actually be received by Landlord no later than
nine (9) months prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term, and (vi) prior to the commencement
of the Renewal Term, Tenant shall have executed and delivered to Landlord such documents as may
reasonably be requested by Landlord to evidence the extension of the expiration date of the Lease
in accordance with this Section 1.3. The Renewal Notice shall be irrevocable once given by Tenant
to Landlord. In the event the Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord the Renewal Notice as required
above, or if the other terms and conditions for the exercise of the Renewal Option have not been
satisfied, then the Renewal Option shall be null and void and this Lease shall expire or terminate
as otherwise provided in the Lease, without regard to any extension contemplated by this Section
1.3.
(b) In the event Tenant qualifies for and duly exercises the Renewal Option, (i) the five (5)
year Renewal Term shall commence on the day immediately following the original Expiration Date of
this Lease and the Expiration Date of the Lease shall thereafter be five (5) years after the
commencement of the Renewal Term, and (ii) all terms and conditions of the Lease shall continue to
be applicable to the Renewal Term except as follows: (A) Base Rent for the Renewal Term shall be as
provided in subsection (c) below, (B) Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any work, pay
any amounts (through the reimbursement of costs incurred by Tenant or otherwise), or incur any
liability in connection with the build-out, improvement, refurbishment, or modification of the
Premises, and (C) the Tenant shall have no further right to extend or renew this Lease.
9
(c) The Base Rent during the first year of the Renewal Term shall be at ninety-five (95%)
percent of the “fair market value”, but in no event shall the Base Rent be less than the proceeding
Lease Year. Upon Tenant notifying Landlord that it has exercised its Renewal Option in accordance
with this Section 1.3, Landlord shall notify Tenant of its determination of the then “fair market
value” for the Premises. If Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination of the fair market
value, it shall notify Landlord within ten (10) business days thereafter, and both Landlord and
Tenant shall engage the services of an independent third party broker to determine the fair market
value. If the fair market value of both brokers are within ten (10%) percent of each other
(utilizing the highest of the two rental rates for determination of the ten (10%) percent
determination), then the average of the two brokers will be binding fair market value. If the fair
market value submitted by the two brokers are not within ten (10%) percent of each other, then the
two brokers shall collectively select a third broker to determine the fair market value, and the
third broker’s determination, which must be equal to either of the two fair market values submitted
by the other two brokers, or in between the two, shall be the binding fair market value. All such
brokers shall be licensed in the state of Florida and knowledgeable of the rental rates in the
Western Broward market and the costs, if any, associated with the third broker’s determination
shall be shared equally between Landlord and Tenant.
The Base Rent during each year of the Renewal Term (excluding the first year thereof) shall
increase by three (3%) percent over the previous year’s Base Rent.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in the Lease, Tenant shall accept the
Premises in its then “AS IS” condition for the Renewal Term.
ARTICLE II
BASE RENT
BASE RENT
Section 2.1 Base Rent; Late Charge; Sales Tax.
Tenant agrees to pay Landlord Base Rent for the first year of the Lease Term following the
Base Rent Commencement Date (defined below) in the amount of Five and 00/100 Dollars ($5.00) times
the rentable square footage of the Premises as set forth in Section 1.1 above (the “Base Rent”),
payable in twelve (12) equal monthly installments due on or before the first day of each and every
month during the first year of the Lease Term, plus any partial month if the Commencement Date is
other than the first day of the month. In addition, Tenant shall, during the entire Lease Term,
and any renewal terms, be responsible for the payment of Operating Expenses (hereafter defined) as
provided in Article III below (the Base Rent and Operating Expenses shall be considered Rent as
that term is used in Florida Statute Chapter 83 and shall sometimes be collectively referred to as
the “Rent”). Unless otherwise expressly provided, all monetary obligations of Tenant to Landlord
under this Lease, of any type or nature, other than Base Rent, shall be designated as Additional
Rent. In the event the Commencement Date is a day other than the first day of the month, the first
payment of Rent shall be prorated accordingly and shall be due and payable on the Commencement
Date. In the event any monthly Rent payment is not paid within five (5) days after it is due,
Tenant agrees to pay a late charge of five (5%) percent of the amount of the payment due. Tenant
further agrees that the late charge imposed is fair and reasonable, complies with all laws,
regulations and statutes, and constitutes an agreement between Landlord and Tenant as to the
estimated
10
compensation for costs and administrative expenses incurred by Landlord due to the late payment of
Rent by Tenant. Tenant further agrees that the late charge assessed pursuant to this Lease is not
interest, and the late charge assessed does not constitute a lender or borrower/creditor
relationship between Landlord and Tenant, and may be treated by Landlord as Additional Rent owed by
Tenant. The late charge is not intended to cover Landlord’s attorneys’ fees and costs relating to
delinquent Rent. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default
with respect to such late payment by nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or
remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. Tenant shall, together with each payment of Rent,
pay to Landlord all sales, use or other taxes pertaining to the Rent which shall be remitted by
Landlord to the Florida Department of Revenue or other appropriate taxing authority. No security
or guaranty which may now or hereafter be furnished to Landlord for the payment of Rent due
hereunder or for the performance by Tenant of the other terms of this Lease shall in any way be a
bar or defense to any of Landlord’s remedies under this Lease or at law. Tenant’s covenant to pay
Rent and all other amounts due under this Lease (including, without limitation, Base Rent and
Operating Expenses) is independent of all other covenants contained in this Lease. Landlord agrees
to waive the late payment charge one time in each Lease Year.
Commencing on the first anniversary of the Base Rent Commencement Date (defined below) and
each and every anniversary thereafter, the Base Rent shall increase by eight (8%) percent over the
previous year’s Base Rent.
Section 2.2 Base Rent Abatement.
Landlord hereby agrees to xxxxx Tenant’s payment of Base Rent only during the first five (5)
months of the Lease Term (e.g. during the months of April 2007 — August, 2007, referred to as the
“Base Rent Abatement Period”). For purposes of this Lease, the Base Rent Commencement Date shall
be deemed to be September 1, 2007. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant hereby agrees to pay
Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses as set forth in Article III below during the
entire Term of the Lease, including the Base Rent Abatement Period described above. The entire
amount of Base Rent otherwise due and payable during the Base Rent Abatement Period shall become
immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of an event of material default by Tenant under the
Lease.
Section 2.3 Payment Without Notice or Demand.
The Rent called for in this Lease shall be paid to Landlord without notice or demand, and
without counterclaim, offset, deduction, abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction.
Tenant hereby waives all rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise to quit,
terminate or surrender this Lease or the Premises or any party thereof, or to any offset,
deduction, abatement, suspensions, deferment, diminution or reduction of the Rent on account of any
such circumstances or concurrence.
Section 2.4 Place of Payment.
All payments of Rent shall be made and paid by Tenant to N/S SAWGRASS OFFICE ASSOCIATES, LLC,
c/o Stiles Property Management Company, 000 XX 0xx Xxxxxx, Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 or
at such other place as Landlord may, from time to time, designate in
11
writing to Tenant. All Rent shall be payable in current legal tender of the United States, as the
same is then by law constituted. Any extension, indulgence, or waiver granted or permitted by
Landlord in the time, manner or mode of payment of Rent, upon any one (1) or more occasions, shall
not be construed as a continuing extension, indulgence or waiver, and shall not preclude Landlord
from demanding strict compliance herewith.
ARTICLE III

A. | Landlord shall furnish to Tenant within thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of each calendar year, including the first calendar year following the year in which the Commencement Date occurs, a budget setting forth Landlord’s estimate of Operating Expenses for the Property for the upcoming year. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on the first day of each month an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of Landlord’s estimate of the Operating Expenses for that calendar year. If there shall be any increase or decrease in the Operating Expenses for any year, whether during or after such year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a revised budget and the Operating Expenses shall be adjusted and paid or credited, as the case may be. If a calendar year ends after the expiration or termination of this Lease, the Operating Expenses payable hereunder shall be prorated to correspond to that portion of the calendar year occurring within the Term of this Lease. | ||
B. | Within 120 days after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant an operating statement showing the actual Operating Expenses incurred for the preceding calendar year. Upon request by Tenant, Tenant shall the right to review pertinent back up documentation evidencing the Operating Expenses, and |

may be provided with copies of same at Tenant’s expense. Tenant shall either receive a refund or be assessed an additional sum based upon the difference between Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the actual Operating Expenses and the Operating Expense payments made by Tenant during said year. Notwithstanding, Landlord agrees that Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Tenant’s Operating Expenses which are “Controllable” as hereinafter defined, shall not increase by more than five (5%) percent per calendar year over the preceding calendar year’s actual Operating Expenses. The “Controllable” Operating Expenses, shall be deemed to mean all Operating Expenses set forth Section 3.1 (C), with the exception of the following: (1) Real Estate Taxes; (18) Utilities; and (20) Insurance. Any additional sum owed by Tenant to Landlord shall be paid within ten (10) days of receipt of assessment. Any refund owed by Landlord to Tenant shall be credited toward Tenant’s next month’s rental payment. Tenant waives and releases any and all objections or claims relating to Operating Expenses for any calendar year unless, within 30 days after Landlord provides Tenant with the annual statement of the actual Operating Expenses for the calendar year, Tenant provides Landlord notice that it disputes the statement and specifies the matters disputed. If Tenant disputes the statement then, pending resolution of the dispute, Tenant shall pay the Operating Expenses in question to Landlord in the amount provided in the disputed statement. | |||
C. | The term “Operating Expenses” shall mean, without duplication, the total of all of the costs incurred by Landlord relating to the ownership, operation, and maintenance of the Property and the services provided tenants of the Property. By way of explanation and clarification, but not by way of limitation, Operating Expenses will include the costs and expenses incurred for the following: |

The term “Real Estate Taxes” shall mean all ad valorem and non-ad valorem taxes, assessments, and other charges by any governmental authority, including real and personal property taxes, transit and other special district taxes, franchise taxes, and solid waste assessments that are imposed on the Building or Property. If a tax shall be levied against Landlord in substitution in whole or in part for the Real Estate Taxes or otherwise as a result of the ownership of the Building or Property, then the other tax shall be deemed to be included within the definition of “Real Estate Taxes”. “Real Estate Taxes” shall also include all costs incurred by Landlord in contesting the amount of the assessment of the Building or Property made for Real Estate Tax purposes, including attorneys’, consultants’, and appraisers’ fees; | ||

time to utilize the services of a telephone or telecommunications provider whose equipment is not
then servicing the Building, no such provider shall be permitted to install its lines through other
equipment within the Building without first securing the prior written approval of Landlord, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Landlord’s approval, if given, shall
not be deemed any kind of warranty or representation by Landlord, including without limitation, any
warranty or representation as to the suitability, confidence, or financial strength of the
provider. If Landlord gives its approval, the following shall be applicable and the approval shall
be conditioned upon the compliance with following: (i) Landlord shall incur no expense whatsoever
with respect to any aspect of the provider’s provision of its service, including without
limitation, the cost of installation, materials and services; (ii) prior to commencement of any
work in or about the Building by the provider, the provider shall supply Landlord with such written

its discretion, that there is sufficient space in the Building for the placement of all of the

if any, that the provider use existing building conduits and pipes, use contractors approved by
Landlord, or use Landlord’s contractors; (vi) the provider must agree to deliver to Landlord
detailed, “as-built” plans immediately after the installation of the provider’s equipment is
complete; and (viii) all the foregoing matters must be documented in a written license agreement
between Landlord and the provider, the form and content of which shall be reasonably satisfactory
to Landlord and which shall be executed and delivered prior to the installation of any equipment or
material in the Building.

telephone or telecommunications provider shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of this Lease.

communications equipment (other than usual and customary cellular telephones), including antenna
and satellite receiver dishes, within the Premises or the Building, without Landlord’s prior
written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such consent may be
conditioned in such manner so as to protect Landlord’s financial interest and the interest of the
Building, in a manner similar to the arrangement described in the immediately preceding paragraphs.
Landlord reserves the right, at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense, to obtain a survey or require Tenant to obtain a survey, at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense, from a surveyor acceptable to Landlord, to determine the impact of any such installation

19
(g) Liability for Equipment Interference. In the event that telecommunications equipment,
wiring and facilities or satellites and antenna equipment of any kind installed by or at the
request of Tenant within the Premises, on the roof, or elsewhere within or on the Building causes
interference to equipment used by another third party, Tenant shall assume all liability related to
such interference. Tenant shall use reasonable efforts, and shall cooperate with Landlord and
other third parties to promptly eliminate such interference. In the event Tenant is unable to do
so, Tenant will substitute alternative equipment which remedies the situation. If such
interference persists, Tenant shall discontinue the use of such equipment, and at Landlord’s
discretion, remove such equipment according to specifications provided by Landlord. Tenant agrees
to and shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless for any liabilities and claims against Landlord
resulting from such interference.

1. | Commercial General Liability. Commercial general liability insurance, including contractual liability, on an occurrence basis, on the then most current Insurance Services Office (ISO) form, with combined single limits of $5 million per occurrence for death, bodily injury, and property damage, which coverage limits may be effected with umbrella coverage; provided, however, that any such umbrella policy shall specify therein, or Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a written statement from the insurer or its agent specifying, the amount of the total insurance allocated to the Premises and confirmation that losses occasioned by Tenant at other facilities will not diminish the amount of insurance coverage available for the Premises below the amount required herein. | ||
2. | Property. Property insurance on the ISO causes of loss—special form, in an amount adequate to cover 100% of the replacement costs, without co-insurance, of all of Tenant’s property at the Premises naming Landlord and its mortgagee as loss payees as their interests may appear. | ||
3. | Business Interruption. Business income and extra expense insurance covering the risks to be insured by the property insurance described above, on an actual loss sustained basis, but in all events in an amount sufficient to prevent Tenant from being a co-insurer of any loss covered under the applicable policy or policies. | ||
4. | Workers’ Compensation. Workers’ compensation insurance covering Tenant and its employees for all costs, statutory benefits, and liabilities under state workers’ compensation, disability, and similar laws. | ||
5. | Other Insurance. Such other insurance as may be reasonably required by Landlord. |

rating of at least “A-” and a financial size category of at least “Class XII” as rated in the most
recent edition of “Best’s Key Rating Guide” for insurance companies. The commercial general
liability insurance policy shall name Landlord and Landlord’s directors, members, officers,
partners, agents, employees, property manager and managing agent as additional insureds and shall
provide that they may not be terminated or modified in any way that would materially decrease the
protection afforded Landlord under this Lease without 30 days’
21

form acceptable to Landlord) including specifically a dated endorsement from Tenant’s insurance
company for the applicable coverage period. Coverage amounts for the commercial general liability

shall reasonably determine that an increase is necessary for adequate protection.
Section 10.2 Waiver of Subrogation and Waiver of Claims.
Landlord and Tenant each expressly, knowingly, and voluntarily waive and release any claims
that they may have against the other or the other’s employees, agents, or contractors for damage to
its properties and loss of business (specifically including loss of Rent by Landlord and business
interruption by Tenant) as a result of the acts or omissions of the other party or the other
party’s employees, agents, or contractors (specifically including the negligence of either party or
its employees, agents, or contractors and the intentional misconduct of the employees, agents, or
contractors of either party), to the extent any such claims are covered (without regard to losses
not compensated as a result of such things as coinsurance adjustments or deductibles) by the
workers’ compensation and property insurance described in this Lease, the ISO forms of business
income and extra expense insurance policies, even if not maintained by Tenant, or other property
insurance that either party may carry at the time of an occurrence. Landlord and Tenant shall
each, on or before the earlier of the Commencement Date or the date on which Tenant first enters

reconstruction of the Building shall, in Landlord’s opinion, be required (whether or not the
Premises shall have been damaged by the casualty); or (b) the Premises shall be partially damaged
by casualty during the last one year of the Lease Term, and the estimated cost of repair exceeds
25% of the Base Rent then remaining to be paid by Tenant for the balance of the Lease Term;
Landlord may, within 90 days after the casualty, give notice to Tenant of Landlord’s election to
terminate this Lease, and the balance of the Lease Term shall automatically expire on the fifth day
after the notice is delivered. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall
proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Building and the Premises to substantially the
same condition they were in immediately before the happening of the casualty. However, Landlord
shall not be required to restore any unleased premises in the Building or any portion of Tenant’s
property. Rent shall xxxxx in proportion to the portion of the Premises not useable by Tenant as a
result of any casualty covered by insurance carried or required to be carried by Landlord under
this Lease, as of the date on which the Premises becomes unusable. Landlord shall not otherwise be
liable to Tenant for any delay in restoring the Premises or any inconvenience or annoyance to
Tenant or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from the damage or the repairs, Tenant’s
sole remedy being the right to an abatement of Rent.

Tenant, Tenant shall cause the same to be cancelled or discharged of record by bond or otherwise
within sixty (60) days after notice to Tenant by Landlord, or within thirty (30) days after notice
to Tenant by Landlord if at the time of such notice Landlord anticipates a sale or refinancing of
the Property closed within sixty (60) days after said notice (and if Landlord includes that fact in

within the time provided pursuant to this Section, Landlord may, at its sole option, cancel or

suit), losses, liabilities, or cause of action arising out of or relating to any alterations,
additions, or improvements made by Tenant to the Leased Premises, including, but not limited to,

transfer of ownership or control of the business entity comprising Tenant, or permit any portion of

affiliate of Tenant shall mean an entity that owns Tenant or is owned by or is under common control
with Tenant or into or with which Tenant may be merged or consolidated, provided that (a) the
merger is not part of a sale or transfer of Tenant’s business or assets to an entity that was not
an affiliate of Tenant before the transfer, and (b) the resulting entity shall own all or
substantially all of the assets of Tenant. Consent by Landlord to a transfer shall not relieve
Tenant from the obligation to obtain Landlord’s consent to any further transfer. Tenant shall
remain fully liable for all obligations under this Lease following any such transfer. The joint
and several liability of Tenant and any successor in interest of Tenant (by assignment or
otherwise) under this Lease shall not in any way be affected by any agreement that modifies any of
the rights or obligations of the parties under this Lease or any waiver of, or failure to enforce,
any obligation under this Lease. If Landlord consents to any transfer, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, on demand, an administrative fee of $1,000 which will be used to reimburse Landlord for
all of Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs associated with Landlord’s consent. Any
transfer by Tenant in violation of this article shall, at Landlord’s option, be void. In the event
Landlord consents to the sublease of all or any part of the Premises, Landlord shall be entitled to
receive the 50% of the amount of any increased Rent provided for in said sublease, including sales
tax, paid by a sublessee or assignee.
Section 12.2 Landlord’s Right of Recapture.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Tenant notifies Landlord of its
desire to effectuate a transfer, other than with respect to the transfer of ownership or control of
the business entity comprising Tenant which shall not trigger the Landlord’s Right of Recapture as
provided herein, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease, or to reduce the Premises by the area
requested to be subleased or assigned if the area is less than the entire Premises. If Landlord’s
election is to terminate or to reduce the area of the Premises as provided herein Tenant shall have
ten (10) days from receipt of Landlord’s notice of same to notify Landlord that Tenant has elected
either (i) to accept such termination or reduction or (ii) to remain in possession of the Premises
under this Lease for the remainder of the Term. If less than the entire Premises is recaptured by
Landlord, at its option, may demise the Premises and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as Additional
Rent, all costs associated therewith.

such alleged default, or such additional time as is necessary to cure such default, provided that
Landlord commences and continues with due diligence to cure such alleged default.

NON-LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
NON-LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
Section 15.1 Non-Liability of Landlord.
Neither Landlord, nor any joint venture partner, members, managing agents, officer, director,
agent, servant, or employee of Landlord, nor any Superior Mortgagee (as defined in Article XX
below), shall be liable to Tenant for any loss, injury, or damage to Tenant or to any other person,
or to its property, irrespective of the cause of such injury, damage or loss, unless caused by or
resulting from the gross negligence of Landlord, in the operation or maintenance of the Premises or
the Building, subject to the doctrine of comparative negligence in the event of negligence on the
part of Tenant or any of its subtenants, licensees, employees, invitees, officers, agents or
contractors. Tenant agrees that any Superior Mortgagee will not be liable to Tenant for injury,
damage or loss caused by or resulting from the negligence of Landlord. Further, neither Landlord,
nor any Superior Mortgagee, nor any joint venture partner, director, officer, agent, servant, or
employee of Landlord shall be liable; (a) for any damage caused by other tenants or persons in,
upon or about the Building, or caused by operations in construction of any private, public or
quasi-public work; or (b) for incidental or consequential damages or lost profits arising out of
any loss of use of the Premises or any equipment or facilities therein by Tenant or any person
claiming through or under Tenant. Tenant shall not hold Landlord liable for any latent defect in
the Premises, the Property or the Building, nor shall Landlord be liable for injury or damage to
person or property caused by fire, theft, or resulting from the operation of elevators, heating or
air conditioning or lighting apparatus, or from falling plaster, or from steam, gas, electricity,
water, rain, or dampness, which may leak or flow from any part of the Building or Property, or from
the pipes, appliances or plumbing work of the Building, Premises or Property.
26
Section 15.2 Indemnification.
Landlord and Tenant shall each indemnify, defend, and save harmless the other party and the
other party’s employees, agents, and contractors from and against any and all loss, damage, claim,
demand, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from claims by third
parties and based on any acts or omissions (specifically including negligence and the failure to
comply with this Lease) of the indemnitor, its employees, agents, and contractors in connection
with the Property and only to the extent caused in whole or in part by acts or omissions of the
indemnitor, its employees, agents, and contractors, regardless of whether or not the claim is
caused in part by any of the indemnified parties. When any claim is caused by the joint acts or
omissions of the indemnitor and the indemnified parties, the indemnitor’s duties under this article
shall be in proportion to the indemnitor’s allocable share of the joint liability.
Section 15.3 Impossibility of Performance.
For purposes of this Lease, the term “Unavoidable Delay” shall mean any delays due to strikes,
lockouts, civil commotion, war or warlike operations, terrorism, bioterrorism, invasion, rebellion,
hostilities, military or usurped power, sabotage, government regulations or controls, inability to
obtain any material, utility, or service because of governmental restrictions, hurricanes, floods,
or other natural disasters, acts of God, or any other cause beyond the direct control of the party
delayed. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if Landlord or Tenant shall be
delayed in the performance of any act required under this Lease by reason of any Unavoidable Delay,
then provided notice of the Unavoidable Delay is given to the other party within ten (10) days
after its occurrence, performance of the act shall be excused for the period of the delay and the
period for the performance of the act shall be extended for a reasonable period, in no event to
exceed a period equivalent to the period of the delay. The provisions of this article shall not
operate to excuse Tenant from the payment of Rent or from surrendering the Premises at the end of
the Lease Term, and shall not operate to extend the Lease Term. Delays or failures to perform
resulting from lack of funds or the increased cost of obtaining labor and materials shall not be
deemed delays beyond the direct control of a party.
ARTICLE XVI
DEFAULT
DEFAULT
Section 16.1 Events of Default.
Each of the following shall be an event of default under this Lease:
A. | Tenant fails to make any payment of Rent or any other monetary amount when due (“Monetary Default”); or | ||
B. | Tenant fails to perform any other obligation under this Lease (“Nonmonetary Default”); or | ||
C. | Tenant or any Guarantor for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease becomes bankrupt or insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or takes the benefit of any insolvency act, or if any debtor proceedings be taken by or |
27
against Tenant or any Guarantor; or | |||
D. | Tenant abandons the Premises; or | ||
E. | Tenant transfers this Lease in violation of the Assignment or Subletting article; or | ||
F. | Tenant fails to deliver an estoppel certificate within the time period required by the Estoppel Certificates article of this Lease. |
Section 16.2 Grace Periods.
A. | Monetary Defaults. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall have a period of five (5) days after notice from Landlord of a Monetary Default in which to cure the default. | ||
B. | Nonmonetary Defaults. Provided the default does not involve an emergency that must be addressed in a shorter time frame, Tenant shall have a period of 15 days after notice from Landlord of a Nonmonetary Default in which to cure the default. In addition, provided that the default does not involve an emergency that must be addressed in a shorter time frame, this grace period shall be extended if the default is of a nature that it cannot be completely cured within such grace period solely as a result of nonfinancial circumstances outside of Tenant’s control, provided that Tenant has promptly commenced all appropriate actions to cure the default within such cure period and those actions are thereafter diligently and continuously pursued by Tenant in good faith. In no event, however, shall the grace period exceed a total of 90 days. If the Nonmonetary Default is not cured before the expiration of the grace period, as extended, then Landlord may pursue any or all of its remedies. | ||
C. | Statutory Notices. The notices of defaults to be given under this section may be the same as the notice required under Section 83.20, Florida Statutes or any successor statute and this Lease shall not be construed to require Landlord to give two separate notices to Tenant before proceeding with any remedies. | ||
D. | Default Status. Tenant shall not be considered in default under this Lease until any applicable grace period has expired without the applicable event of default having been cured. |
Section 16.3 Remedies.
In addition to all remedies provided by law, if Tenant defaults, Landlord may terminate this
Lease or Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises (without terminating this Lease) by notice to
Tenant. If Landlord terminates this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession, Tenant shall remain
liable for all Rent owed for the full Lease Term. In addition, Landlord may declare the entire
balance of all forms of Rent due under this Lease for the remainder of the Lease Term to be
forthwith due and payable and may collect the then present value of the Rents (calculated using a
discount rate equal to the discount rate of the branch of the Federal Reserve Bank closest to the
Premises in effect as of the date of the default). In the event that Landlord re-lets the
Premises to another tenant during any portion of the remaining Lease Term, Landlord shall account
to
28
Tenant, at the date of the expiration of the Lease Term, for the net amounts (after deduction
of any or all of the following: marketing/advertising costs, legal expenses, brokerage commissions,
“free rent”, moving costs, or other incentives granted, and the cost of alterations or improvements
to the Premises required by any replacement tenant, together with any tenant improvement allowances
granted to any replacement tenant) actually collected by Landlord as a result of a re-letting;
provided, however, under no circumstances shall Landlord have any duty to re-let the Premises or
attempt to re-let the Premises. Further, under no circumstances shall Tenant be entitled to any
recovery by Landlord for the re-letting of the Premises which is in excess of the full amount of
Rent for which Tenant is otherwise obligated to pay Landlord under the terms of this Lease.
Landlord shall be entitled to any/all remedies provided under common Law and/or specifically
provided under the terms of this Lease, which remedies may be exercised at any time or times by
Landlord, as it so chooses, and such remedies are cumulative to one another.
Section 16.4 Presumption of Abandonment.
It shall be conclusively presumed that Tenant has abandoned the Premises if Tenant fails to
keep the Premises open for business during regular business hours for twenty (20) consecutive days
while in monetary default. Any grace periods set forth in this article shall not apply to the
application of this presumption.
Section 16.5 Multiple Defaults.
Tenant acknowledges that any rights or options of first refusal, or to extend the Lease Term,
to expand the size of the Premises, to delete space from the Premises, to purchase the Premises or
the Property, or other similar rights or options that have been granted to Tenant under this Lease
are conditioned on the prompt and diligent performance of the terms of this Lease by Tenant.
Accordingly, should Tenant, on three or more occasions during any 12-month period, (a) fail to pay
any installment of Rent within ten (10) days of the due date; or (b) otherwise materially default
under this Lease, then, in addition to all other remedies available to Landlord, all such rights
and options shall automatically, and without further action on the part of any party, expire and be
deemed canceled and of no further force and effect.
Section 16.6 Right of Redemption.
Intentionally deleted
ARTICLE XVII
NOTICE OF SURRENDER/HOLDOVER
NOTICE OF SURRENDER/HOLDOVER
Section 17.1 Notice of Surrender/Holdover.
At least ninety (90) days before the last day of the term hereof, Tenant shall give to
Landlord a written notice of intention to surrender the Premises on that date, but neither this
Section 17.1 nor any failure by Landlord to protest the lack of such notice by Tenant shall be
construed as an extension of the term or as a consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant.
29
Should Tenant hold over and remain in possession of the Premises at the expiration of any Term
hereby created, Tenant shall, by virtue of this Section, become a tenant-at-sufferance and shall
pay Landlord One Hundred Fifty (150%) percent of the Base Rent per month of the last monthly
installment of Base Rent above provided to be paid. Said tenancy shall be subject to all the
conditions and covenants of this Lease as though the same had been a tenancy-at-sufferance instead
of a tenancy as provided herein, and Tenant shall give to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior
written notice of any intention to vacate the Premises, and shall be entitled to ten (10) days
prior notice of Landlord to remove Tenant from the Premises in the event Landlord desires
possession of the Premises; provided, however, that said tenant-at-sufferance shall not be entitled
to ten (10) days notice in the event the said Rent is not paid in advance without demand, the said
ten (10) days written notice being hereby expressly waived. Nothing herein shall be deemed to
permit Tenant to retain possession of the Premises after the expiration of earlier termination of
this Lease. Tenant will pay to Landlord, upon request, all damages that Landlord may suffer on
account of Tenant’s failure to surrender possession of the Premises as required under this Lease
upon the expiration or termination of this Lease and will indemnify Landlord against all
liabilities, costs and expenses (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of
Tenant’s delay in so delivering possession, including claims of any succeeding tenant.
ARTICLE XVIII
EMINENT DOMAIN
EMINENT DOMAIN
Section 18.1 Condemnation.
If the whole or any substantial part of the Premises shall be condemned by eminent domain or
acquired by purchase in lieu of condemnation, this Lease shall terminate on the date on which
possession of the Premises is delivered to the condemning authority or the deed is delivered to the
purchaser and Rent shall be apportioned and paid to that date. If no portion of the Premises is
taken but a substantial portion of the Property is taken, at Landlord’s option, this Lease shall
terminate on the date on which possession of such portion of the Property is delivered to the
condemning authority and Rent shall be apportioned and paid to that date. Tenant shall have no
claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired portion of the Lease Term, nor shall Tenant
be entitled to any part of the condemnation award or purchase price. If this Lease is not
terminated as provided above, Rent shall xxxxx in proportion to the portion of the Premises
condemned. Tenant shall be permitted to to puruse its own own award separate and apart from
Landlord, provided that any such award does not reduce the award that would otherwise have been
paid to Landlord.
ARTICLE XIX

of all terms, provisions, covenants and conditions on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed,
Tenant shall, subject to all of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease,
peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Premises for the Lease Term against all
persons claiming by, through or under Landlord.

Section 20.1 Subordination.
This Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to all mortgages that may now or hereafter
affect the Building or Property, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements,
and extensions of the mortgages. This article shall be self-operative and no further instrument
of subordination shall be necessary. However, in confirmation of this subordination, Tenant shall
execute promptly any certificate that Landlord may request. If the interest of Landlord under this
Lease is transferred by reason of or assigned in lieu of foreclosure or other proceedings for
enforcement of any mortgage, or if this Lease is terminated by foreclosure of any mortgage to which
this Lease is subordinate, then Tenant will, at the option to be exercised in writing by the
purchaser or assignee, (a) attorn to it and will perform for its benefit all the terms of this
Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed with the same force and effect as if the purchaser or
assignee were the Landlord originally named in this Lease, or (b) enter into a new lease with the
purchaser or assignee for the remainder of the Lease Term and otherwise on the same terms as
provided in this Lease. At such time, Landlord shall provide a Subordination and Non-Disturbance
Agreement in favor of Tenant from the Landlord’s current lender or any future lender in form and
content reasonably satisfactory to tenant, but which shall provide that so long as Tenant is not in
default under this Lease, it shall not be disturbed in its possession of the Premises.

equipment thereof, as well as in or to the street entrances, doors, halls, passages, elevators,

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. The foregoing disclosure is provided to comply with state law
and is for informational purposes only. Landlord has not conducted radon testing with respect to

Premises.

concerning the leasing of the Premises. Each party agrees to indemnify the other against and from
any claims for any brokerage commissions (except those payable to Broker and Co-Broker) and all
costs, expenses and liabilities in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses, for any breach by it of the foregoing representation.

institutional lenders and certified to Landlord and any mortgagee or prospective mortgagee or
purchaser of the Property.
Section 24.5 No Recordation.

or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder
of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. The table of contents, captions, headings and
titles in this Lease are solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect its
interpretation. This Lease shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other rule
requiring construction against the party causing this Lease to be drafted. Each covenant,
agreement, obligation, or other provision of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed, shall be
deemed and construed as a separate and independent covenant of Tenant, not dependent on any other
provision of this Lease. All terms and words used in this Lease, regardless of the number or
gender in which they are used, shall be deemed to include any other number and any other gender, as
the context may require.

venture between Landlord and Tenant, or to create any other relationship between the parties other

and is duly qualified to do business in the state in which the Property is located, (c) Tenant has
full corporate, partnership, trust, association or other appropriate power and authority to enter
into this Lease and to perform all Tenant’s obligations hereunder, and (d) each person (and all of
the persons if more than one signs) signing this Lease on behalf of Tenant is duly and validly
authorized to do so.
Section 24.11 Landlord’s Liability.
None of Landlord’s officers, employees, members, managing agents, managers agents, directors,
shareholders, partners, or affiliates shall ever have any personal liability to Tenant under this
Lease. No person holding Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall have any liability after such
person ceases to hold such interest, except for any liability accruing while such person held such

satisfaction of any right or remedy of Tenant under this Lease, and no other assets of Landlord
shall be subject to levy, execution, or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of
Tenant’s rights or remedies under this Lease, or any other liability of Landlord to Tenant of
whatever kind or nature. Tenant waives any claims against Landlord that Tenant does not make in
writing within 30 days of the onset of the cause of such claim. Landlord and Tenant each waive all
rights (other than rights under the Section 17.1 — Notice of Surrender/Holdover) to consequential
damages, punitive damages, or special damages of any kind.
Section 24.12 Jury Waiver/Counterclaims.
LANDLORD AND TENANT KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY, AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM INVOLVING ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY
CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE. TENANT FURTHER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO INTERPOSE ANY PERMISSIVE
COUNTERCLAIM OF ANY NATURE IN ANY ACTION TO OBTAIN POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES.
Section 24.13 NonDisclosure of Lease Terms.
Tenant agrees that the terms of this Lease are confidential and constitute proprietary
information of Landlord, and that disclosure of the terms hereof could adversely affect the ability
35
of Landlord to negotiate with other tenants. Tenant hereby agrees that Tenant and its partners,
officers, directors, employees, agents, real estate brokers and sales persons and attorneys shall
not disclose the terms of this Lease to any other person without Landlord’s prior written consent,
except to any accountants of Tenant in connection with the preparation of Tenant’s financial
statements or tax returns, to an assignee of this Lease or sublessee of the Premises, or to an
entity or person to whom disclosure is required by applicable law or in connection with any action
brought to enforce this Lease.
Section 24.14 Reserved Rights.
Landlord retains and shall have the rights set forth below, exercisable without notice and
without liability to Tenant for damage or injury to property, person or business and without
effecting an eviction, constructive or actual, or disturbance of Tenant’s use or possession of the
Premises or giving rise to any claim for rent abatement:
(a) To grant to anyone the exclusive right to conduct any business or render any service in or
to the Building and its tenants, provided that such exclusive right shall not operate to require
Tenant to use or patronize such business or service or to exclude Tenant from its use of the
Premises expressly permitted herein.
(b) To perform, or cause or permit to be performed, at any time and from time to time,
including during Business Hours, construction in the common areas and facilities or other leased
areas in the Property.
(c) To reduce, increase, enclose or otherwise change at any time and from time to time the
size, number, location, lay-out and nature of the common areas and facilities and other tenancies
and premises in the Property and to create additional rentable areas through use or enclosure of
common areas.
Section 24.15 No Waiver.
The failure of a party to insist on the strict performance of any provision of this Lease or
to exercise any remedy for any default shall not be construed as a waiver. The waiver of any
noncompliance with this Lease shall not prevent subsequent similar noncompliance from being a
default. No waiver shall be effective unless expressed in writing and signed by the waiving party.
No notice to or demand on a party shall of itself entitle the party to any other or further notice
or demand in similar or other circumstances. The receipt by Landlord of any Rent after default on
the part of Tenant (whether the Rent is due before or after the default) shall not excuse any
delays as to future Rent payments and shall not be deemed to operate as a waiver of any then
existing default by Tenant or of the right of Landlord to enforce the payment of any other Rent
reserved in this Lease or to pursue eviction or any other remedies available to Landlord. No
payment by Tenant, or receipt by Landlord, of a lesser amount than the Rent actually owed under the
terms of this Lease shall be deemed to be anything other than a payment on account of the earliest
stipulated Rent. No endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or
payment of Rent will be deemed an accord and satisfaction. Landlord may accept the check or
payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of the Rent or to pursue any
other remedy. It is the intention of the parties that this article modify the common law rules of
waiver and estoppel and the provisions of any statute which might dictate a contrary
result.
36
Section 24.16 Light and Air.
Tenant agrees that no diminution of light, air or view by any structure which may hereafter be
erected (whether or not by Landlord) shall entitle Tenant to any reduction of rent hereunder,
result in any liability of Landlord to Tenant, or in any other way affect this Lease.
Section 24.17 Adjacent Excavation and Shoring.
If an excavation shall be made, or shall be authorized to be made, upon land adjacent to the
Property, Tenant shall, upon notice, afford to the person causing or authorized to cause such
excavation license to enter upon the Premises for the purpose of doing such work as such person
shall deem necessary to preserve the wall or the Building from injury or damage and to support the
same by proper foundations. In connection with such license, Tenant shall have no right to claim
any damages or indemnity against Landlord, or diminution or abatement of Rent provided that Tenant
shall continue to have access to the Premises.
Section 24.18 Name and Image of Building.
Tenant shall not use pictures of the Building in advertising or other publicity, without
Landlord’s prior written consent. Landlord reserves the right to change the name of the Building
at any time in its sole discretion by written notice to Tenant and Landlord shall not be liable to
Tenant for any loss, cost or expense on account of any such change of name.
Section 24.19 Entire Agreement; Modifications.
This Lease constitutes the entire understanding between the parties and shall bind the
parties, their successors and assigns. No representations, except as herein expressly set forth,
have been made by either party to the other, and this Lease cannot be amended or modified except by
a writing signed by Landlord and Tenant. Submission of this instrument for examination and
signature by Tenant does not constitute an offer to lease or a reservation of or option for lease,
and is not effective as a lease or otherwise until execution and delivery by both Landlord and
Tenant. Landlord and Tenant intend that faxed signatures constitute original signatures binding on
the parties. This Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of the heirs, personal
representatives, and, except as otherwise provided, the successors and assigns of the parties to
this Lease. Any liability or obligation of Landlord or Tenant arising during the Lease Term shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
