ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Tenant shall not assign, mortgage or encumber this Lease, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably or in bad faith withheld, delayed or conditioned. Tenant shall have the right to sublease all or a portion of the Premises, with the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably or in bad faith withheld, delayed or conditioned, provided that the proposed sublessee meets the then current reasonable credit criteria of Landlord (which credit criteria shall not be more stringent than that which is customarily utilized by similarly situated lessors of similar commercial properties in Xxx County, Florida), including, without limitation, a minimum net worth of not less than the minimum net worth of Tenant as of the Commencement Date of this Lease, with comparable business experience and reputation.

If this Lease is assigned or if the Premises or any part thereof are occupied by any party other than Tenant in violation of this Section, Landlord may collect Rent from the assignee, or occupant and apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, underletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this provision or an acceptance of the assignee, undertenant or occupant as lessee, or as a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of the provisions on its part to be observed or performed herein. Notwithstanding any assignment or sublease, or Landlord's consent thereto, Tenant shall remain fully liable and shall not be released from performing any of the terms of this Lease.

In furtherance of this section, Landlord and Tenant agree that this Lease shall act as a subordination agreement and shall automatically subordinate this Lease to any such mortgage, deed to secure or other security interest. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver any further instruments, acts, things or documents to evidence such subordination within ten (10) days after Landlord's request therefore; provided that the then existing mortgagee agrees to provide the Non-Disturbance Agreement contemplated herein.

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER.
|
(a)
|
If, at any time after the Commencement Date of the Lease, any additional space (the "Additional Space") within the Office Building shall become vacant and available for leasing to the general public, Landlord shall first offer the Additional Space to Tenant by delivering written notice to Tenant of the availability of the Additional Space. Tenant shall have ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord's notice within which to elect to lease the Additional Space at the same rental rate in effect for the Premises, based upon the then current average rental rate in effect, and on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Lease, except that the term of the lease for the Additional Space shall expire contemporaneously with the expiration of the term of the Lease for the Premises. Further, Landlord shall have no obligation to construct any leasehold improvements on behalf of Tenant, and Tenant shall accept the Additional Space in its then current condition. Upon delivery of the Additional Space, the Lease shall be automatically amended to include the Additional Space, and each party shall, at the request of the other party, execute and deliver an amendment to the Lease to confirm the inclusion of the Additional Space.

(b)
|
In the event that Tenant does not timely elect to lease the Additional Space, then Landlord shall be free to offer the Additional Space for lease to any third party at a rental rate (after taking into account any rent or other lease concessions) no less than that offered to Tenant, without regard to the right of first offer granted to Tenant hereunder; provided, however, that Tenant shall retain the right of first offer for any other space within the Office Building that may subsequently become available during the term of the Lease. Nothing herein shall require Landlord to deny to any tenant the right to renew or extend its lease at the expiration of the term thereof. Further, the right of first offer set forth herein shall not apply during the last twenty-four (24) months of the Lease Term or if Tenant has, at any time, exercised either the early termination option set forth in Section 5 of this Addendum to Lease or the relocation option set forth in Section 6 of this Addendum to Lease.

EXPANSION SPACE.

|
In the event that Tenant shall, at any time during the first three (3) Lease years, determine that Tenant will require any additional space, but in no event less than 5,000 sq. ft. and in no event more than 30,000 sq. ft. (the "Expansion Space"), then Tenant shall so notify Landlord. Tenant's notice shall identify the amount of Expansion Space required by Tenant and shall identify any special needs that Tenant may have for the Expansion Space. Upon receipt of Tenant's notice, Landlord shall endeavor to provide Tenant with suitable Expansion Space, reasonably acceptable to Tenant, within the Office Building or, within a building(s) to be constructed by Landlord within the Xxxxxxxxx Center Professional Park.
|
(b)
|
The Base Rent for the Expansion Space shall be calculated based upon the market rental rate for comparable space within the general vicinity of the Expansion Space (the "Market Rate").

Any appraisal costs shall be borne equally by the parties.

(c)
|
Upon delivery of the Expansion Space to Tenant, the Lease shall be automatically amended to include the Expansion Space, and each party shall, at the request of the other party, execute and deliver an amendment to the Lease to confirm the inclusion of the Expansion Space.

In the event that Tenant elects to terminate the Lease, then Tenant shall return the Premises to Landlord in the condition required by the Lease, within ninety (90) days after delivery of Tenant's notice. Provided that Tenant returns the Premises to Landlord in the condition required by the Lease, Tenant shall be entitled to the return of its security deposit and shall be discharged from any further obligation under the Lease from and after the termination date.
