If Landlord fails to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant and substantially complete the improvements required by this Lease on or before July 31,2011 (the “Possession Date”), Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord; provided, however, that in the event Landlord determines the required improvements will not be substantially completed by the Possession Date, Landlord, at its option, may extend the Possession Date for thirty (30) days by written notice to the Tenant five (5) days prior to the Possession Date. Notwithstanding that the Term of the Lease commences on the Rent Commencement Date, this Lease shall be valid and binding on the parties from and after the Effective Date. The Tenant may extend the Term of this Lease for up to three (3) additional extension periods of sixty (60) full calendar months each, by written notice to Landlord given at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then current Term or extension thereof; provided that Tenant (consistent with this Lease) has properly exercised any prior extensions to the Lease Term.

Tenant shall have the exclusive right to use the parking lot on the Premises, which lot currently consists of twenty-six (26) parking spaces.

Except as otherwise provided, all additional payments are due thirty (30) days after delivery of an invoice. Tenant shall pay a late payment service charge, equal to five percent (5%) of the total delinquent amount or $100.00, whichever is greater, for each month for which payment of the Monthly Rent is not received by Landlord when due.

The interest of Landlord in the Premises shall not be subject to any liens, including, but not limited to, construction liens, for improvements made by Tenant or by persons claiming by, through or under it, and Tenant agrees it shall notify any person making any improvements on its behalf of this provision. This exculpation is made with express reference to Section 713.10, Florida Statutes.

No notice from Landlord shall be required in cases of emergency. Landlord and persons authorized by Landlord shall also have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice to show them to prospective purchasers, lenders, or anyone having a prospective interest in the Premises during the last six (6) months of the Term, to prospective tenants.

In the event that the Premises, or any substantial part thereof, shall be destroyed or substantially damaged by fire or casualty not covered by insurance, then this Lease may be terminated at the election of Landlord. Such election shall be made by the giving of notice by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of the casualty. For the purposes of this Section 12A, the phrase “substantially damaged” shall mean damage that cannot reasonably be expected to be repaired or restored within twelve (12) months from the date the repair or restoration work would commence.

In the event the Premises are destroyed or damaged by fire or casualty covered by insurance, and in the professional judgment of Landlord’s engineer cannot be repaired or restored within twelve months (12) from the time that repair or restoration work would be commenced, then Landlord shall promptly after the date of the casualty give notice thereof to Tenant, whereupon this Lease shall automatically terminate.

B. Restoration. If not terminated by either party as permitted above, this Lease shall continue in force without abatement of the Annual Fixed Rent or Other Charges during the period of restoration or re-construction (but in no event longer than twelve (12) months and after said twelve (12) month period the Annual Fixed Rent or Other Charges shall be suspended or abated) until the Premises, or what may remain thereof, shall be put by Landlord in substantially their condition at the time of such damage or destruction, in proper condition for use, which Landlord covenants to do with diligence to the extent permitted by the net proceeds of insurance monies recovered, and subject to zoning and building laws or ordinances then in existence. “Net proceeds” in the preceding sentence refers to the gross amount of such proceeds received less the reasonable expenses of Landlord incurred in connection with the collection of the same, including without limitation, fees and expenses for legal and appraisal services. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12 hereof, if Landlord shall not have commenced restoration within one hundred twenty (120) days after insurance proceeds are available, or complete the restoration within twelve (12) months of commencing the same, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving notice of such termination to Landlord (“Tenant’s Notice”), effective at the expiration of thirty

(30) days from the giving of such Tenant’s Notice; provided, however, that such termination shall be rendered ineffective if, prior to expiration of said thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall have completed such restoration or Landlord has commenced the restoration within the one hundred twenty (120) day period and is diligently pursuing the restoration to completion and such restoration is completed within thirty (30) days from the Tenant’s Notice, which thirty (30) day period may be extended by written agreement between the parties.

C. Award. All rights to damages or compensation for loss of the Property shall belong to Landlord (not including any awards specifically made to Tenant for its relocation costs and business interruption). Except for such awards specifically made to Tenant, Tenant hereby grants to Landlord all of Tenant’s rights to such damages and covenants to deliver such further assignments thereof as Landlord may from time to time request.

D. Last Year of Term. If the Building or the Premises or any material (as determined by Landlord) portion thereof is destroyed or materially (as determined by Landlord) damaged by fire or other casualty at any time during the last twelve (12) months of the Term or the last twelve (12) months of any Term extension (as described in Section 3), then Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant. If the Building or the Premises or any material (as determined by Landlord) portion thereof is destroyed or materially (as determined by Landlord) damaged by fire or other casualty at any time during the last twelve (12) months of the Term or the last twelve (12) months of any Term extension (as described in Section 3), then Tenant shall also have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Landlord (“Tenant’s Last Year Termination”). Tenant’s Last Year Termination shall only occur if the following conditions have been satisfied: (i) the Lease has not otherwise been terminated as permitted in this Section 12; (ii) the Building or the Premises, in the professional judgment of Landlord’s engineer, cannot be repaired or restored within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of destruction or material damage; and (iii) the Tenant has not exercised its option to renew the Term of the Lease.

13. CONDEMNATION: If any part of the Premises shall be condemned by eminent domain or acquired by private purchase in lieu of condemnation, then Landlord shall have the right, at its option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date upon which possession of the Premises is delivered to the condemning authority and the Monthly Rent shall be apportioned and paid to that date. If the whole or any substantial part of the Premises shall be condemned by eminent domain or acquired by private purchase in lieu of condemnation, this Lease shall terminate on the date upon which possession of the Premises is delivered to the condemning authority and Monthly Rent shall be apportioned and paid to that date. All compensation in connection with any condemnation or purchase in lieu thereof, including the value of the leasehold estate created hereby, shall belong to Landlord and Tenant shall have no claim for the value of any unexpired portion of the Lease Term, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any part of the condemnation award or private purchase price and hereby assigns any rights in same to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to claim and recover, provided Tenant asserts and pursues its claim against the condemning authority, compensation or damage representing Tenant’s moving and relocation expenses; provided, however, that no such claim shall diminish or otherwise affect Landlord’s award. If less than a substantial part of the Premises is condemned, this Lease shall not terminate, but the Monthly Rent shall xxxxx in proportion to the portion of the Premises condemned. A substantial portion of the Premises for purposes of this Section 13 shall be (i) twenty-five percent

(25%) or more of the gross square feet of the building or (ii) fifteen percent (15%) or more of the parking spaces within the Premises.

14. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE:

A. Tenant shall not mortgage or grant a security interest in its interest in this Lease or the Premises. Except as specifically permitted hereby, Tenant shall not sublease the Premises or any part thereof, assign this Lease or any part thereof, or permit any portion of the Premises to be occupied by third parties (each, a “transfer”) without Landlord’s consent in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed as determined under Section 14B below, except that the Tenant shall have the right to assign or sublease its interest under this Lease without Landlord’s consent in the any of the following instances (the “Assignment Exceptions”): (i) to an entity purchasing a majority of the Tenant’s outstanding shares or a third party acquiring the Tenant; or (ii) to a person or entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant and said person or entity has a net worth greater than or equal to Tenant’s net worth. Evidence of an assignee or sublessee’s net worth shall be provided to the Landlord by Tenant. The transfer of this Lease by operation of law as a result of a merger of Tenant shall not require the consent of Landlord. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any proposed transfer and, in addition, if Landlord consents to any transfer Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, an administration fee of $1,000.00 as a condition to Landlord’s consent. Tenant and any guarantor shall remain fully liable for all obligations under this Lease following any transfer except for the Assignment Exceptions. Consent by Landlord to a transfer shall not relieve Tenant from the obligation to obtain Landlord’s written consent to any further transfer, except for the Assignment Exceptions. Any attempted transfer by Tenant in violation of the terms and covenants of this Section shall be void ab initio.

B. In connection with any proposed transfer (except for the Assignment Exceptions), Tenant shall submit in writing to Landlord, the following proposed transferee information, not later than fifteen (15) days before the anticipated transfer, (i) current name and address of the proposed transferee, (ii) the proposed form of transfer agreement (with an executed copy to be delivered when the transaction is consummated), (iii) reasonably satisfactory information as to the nature and type of business use/operation/activity proposed for the space to evaluate in accordance with the criteria set forth below, and (iv) banking, financial, or other credit information (including balance sheets and profit and loss statements for the three (3) years before the transfer, certified by the transferee, and a list of personal, banking, business, and credit references) reasonably sufficient to enable Landlord to determine financial responsibility and character of the proposed transferee. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed transfer provided the proposed transferee:

(i) Has a creditworthiness rating issued by a recognized national rating agency better than or equivalent to the rating assigned to Tenant by such agency;

(ii) In Landlord’s reasonable judgment, shall not diminish/impair the Premises’ rental value, or reputation;

(iii) Shall not use/occupy/conduct business in any part of the Premises in a manner that violates this Lease or the Declaration or local or State law;

(iv) Shall not materially increase the Other Charges for the Premises or the burden on building services, facilities, equipment or parking located on the Premises;

(v) Shall create no obligation for Landlord to alter or provide improvements to the Premises and/or building;

(vi) If an assignee, shall assume in writing all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease; and

(vii) Shall not be a person or entity currently occupying space in the Shopping Center, or that is actively negotiating with Landlord or has received a lease proposal from Landlord (in each case, directly or via a broker) for space in the Shopping Center during the six (6) months immediately prior to Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent.

C. Tenant waives all remedies for money damages based on a claim that Landlord unreasonably withheld consent to a proposed transfer. Tenant’s sole remedy for such a claim shall be to institute an action or proceeding seeking specific performance, injunctive relief, or declaratory judgment.

D. Any sublease shall be expressly subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease and likewise shall require the subtenant to comply with all applicable non-monetary terms and conditions to be performed by Tenant. The sublease shall stipulate that it will not survive a termination of this Lease (whether voluntary or involuntary) or resumption of possession of the Premises by Landlord following a default by Tenant, unless Landlord (by written notice to subtenant) elects otherwise, in which event the subtenant shall attorn to Landlord and continue to perform its obligations under its sublease as if this Lease had not been terminated and the sublease was a direct lease between Landlord and subtenant. Prior to any sublease, Tenant and the subtenant shall execute and deliver Landlord’s standard consent form. In no event shall Tenant be released or relieved of any liability under this Lease on account of any sublease.

E. The named Tenant under this Lease and any and all transferees shall have joint and several liability under this Lease and the joint and several liability under this Lease of Tenant, any guarantor of this Lease, and any successor in interest of Tenant (by assignment or otherwise), shall not in any way be discharged, released, or impaired by any (i) agreement that modifies any of the rights or obligations of the parties under this Lease, (ii) stipulation that extends the time within which any obligation under this Lease is to be performed, (iii) waiver of the performance of an obligation required under this Lease as to any one or more responsible parties, or (iv) failure to enforce any of the obligations set forth in this Lease.

15. SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT, AND ESTOPPEL: This Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to all mortgages that may now or hereafter affect the Premises or the building located on the Premises, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, and extensions of the mortgages provided that (i) any such mortgage now existing or hereafter placed upon the Premises or the building located on the Premises shall provide that so long as there

shall be outstanding no continuing event of default in any of the terms, conditions, covenants, or agreements of this Lease on the part of the Tenant to be performed, the leasehold estate of the Lease created hereby and Tenant’s peaceful and quiet possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed by any foreclosure of such mortgage, and (ii) the mortgagee, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a three party non-subordination and attornment agreement, which agreement shall be reasonably acceptable to Landlord’s lender, confirming that Tenant’s possession will not be disturbed in the event of foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, as long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any notice and opportunity to cure provided therein. Except as otherwise provided above, this Section shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be necessary. However, in confirmation of this subordination, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of Landlord’s written request, execute any certificate that Landlord may request.

From time to time, each party upon written request from the other no later than ten (10) days after such request, shall execute and deliver to the requesting party an estoppel certificate in favor of such party designated by the requesting party substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “C”, or such other form as the parties may mutually agree. If Tenant fails to execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate within such ten (10) day period, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per day for each day thereafter until the certificate is executed and delivered to Landlord.

16. INDEMNIFICATION:

A. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, protect and defend Landlord and Landlord’s agents, employees, affiliates and successors in interest from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, fines, losses, costs, damages, expenses, judgments, liens and other liabilities (including, but not limited to, injury or loss of life to persons or damage to or loss of property, and reasonable attorneys’ and expert witness fees and other costs of defense) arising out of Tenant’s use of or the conduct of Tenant’s business on the Premises or the building, any work done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Premises or elsewhere, any other act, neglect, fault or omission of Tenant or its officers, employees, servants, agents, contractors, representatives, customers, visitors, guests or invitees occurring during any time Tenant or such other party has been provided access to the Premises or building for any purpose; provided, however that the forgoing shall not apply to the extent of any claims or damages arising from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Landlord. In the event any action or proceeding be brought against Landlord or Landlord’s agents, employees, affiliates or successors in interest by reason of any such claim or action of the type herein specified, Tenant upon notice from Landlord shall defend such claim, action or proceeding at Tenant’s cost and expense by counsel approved by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. This indemnity shall not require payment or expense by Landlord as a condition precedent to performance by or recovery from Tenant. In no event shall limits of any insurance be considered a limitation on Tenant’s obligations under this Section 16.A. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

B. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Landlord hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, protect and defend Tenant and Tenant’s agents, employees, affiliates and successors in interest from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, fines, losses, costs, damages,

expenses, judgments, liens and other liabilities (including, but not limited to, injury or loss of life to persons or damage to or loss of property, and reasonable attorneys’ and expert witness fees and other costs of defense) arising out of any work done by or at the direction of Landlord in or about the Premises, any other act, neglect, fault or omission of Landlord or its officers, employees, servants, agents, contractors, representatives occurring during any time Landlord or such other party has been provided access to the Premises or building for any purpose; provided, however that the forgoing shall not apply to the extent of any claims or damages arising from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Tenant. In the event any action or proceeding be brought against Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees, affiliates or successors in interest by reason of any such claim or action of the type herein specified, Landlord upon notice from Tenant shall defend such claim, action or proceeding at Landlord’s cost and expense by counsel approved by Tenant, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. This indemnity shall not require payment or expense by Tenant as a condition precedent to performance by or recovery from Landlord. In no event shall limits of any insurance be considered a limitation on Landlord’s obligations under this Section 16.B. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

17. INSPECTION PERIOD:

A. Tenant and its representatives shall have a period of forty-five (45) days from the Effective Date (“Inspection Period”) in which to enter on the Premises and inspect the physical condition thereof including, to determine that the Premises may be used as a branch banking facility and is in compliance with applicable building codes and ADA requirements. During the Inspection Period, Tenant shall obtain from its regulator approval to operate a Jacksonville Bank branch facility on the Premises (the “Approval”).

B. Prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Tenant, in its sole and absolute discretion, will have the absolute right to reject the Premises for any reason or for no reason and upon such rejection Tenant shall be released from this Lease and the Lease shall terminate, except that Tenant shall repair and restore any damage caused to the Premises by Tenant or its agents and contractors and Tenant’s obligations under Section 16 above shall survive any termination of this Lease. In addition, failure of the Tenant to obtain the Approval within the Inspection Period shall be cause for Tenant to terminate this Lease.

C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if upon expiration of the Inspection Period, Tenant has not obtained the Approval but is otherwise satisfied with the condition of the Premises and confirms to Landlord, in writing, that Tenant accepts the Premises, then upon written request by Tenant to Landlord no later than the expiration of the Inspection Period, Landlord shall grant to Tenant such additional period of time as Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree upon for Tenant to obtain the Approval (“Inspection Period Extension”). If Tenant shall have been unsuccessful in obtaining the Approval by the end of the Inspection Period Extension, despite its best efforts, then either Landlord or Tenant shall be entitled to terminate this Lease.

18. DEFAULT:

A. Each of the following shall be an event of default under this Lease: (i) Tenant fails to make any payment of the Monthly Rent or the Other Charges within (5) five days after written

notice from Landlord (except that Landlord shall not be required to give such written notice more than one time in any calendar year); or (ii) Tenant fails to perform any other obligation under this Lease or the Declaration within fifteen (15) days after written notice to Tenant specifying the default (provided however that if such default cannot reasonably be cured within such fifteen (15) day period, Tenant shall not be in default as long as it commences such cure within such fifteen (15) day period and diligently pursues the cure to completion within a reasonable time); or (iii) Tenant becomes bankrupt or insolvent or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or takes the benefit of any insolvency act (including filing any petition or similar pleading), or if any debtor proceedings be taken by or against Tenant; or (iv) Tenant transfers this Lease in violation of the Assignment and Sublease Section; or (v) Tenant fails to deliver an estoppel certificate within the time period required by the estoppel provisions of this Lease; or (vi) if Tenant is self-insuring as permitted in Section 6.E.(xii) above and Tenant’s net worth falls below the net worth established in Section 6.E.(xii) above and Tenant fails to provide the insurance policies required under Section 6.E above.

B. If Tenant defaults, in addition to all other legally available remedies, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts in good faith to mitigate its damages, provided, however, that Landlord shall be under no obligation to mitigate its damages. Landlord may pursue any one or more of the following remedies:

(i) Landlord may terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant, in which event this Lease shall expire and terminate on the date specified in such notice of termination, with the same force and effect as though the date so specified were the date herein originally fixed as the expiration date of the Term of this Lease, and all rights of Tenant under this Lease and in and to the Premises shall expire and terminate, and Tenant shall remain liable for all obligations under this Lease arising up to the date of such termination, and Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord on the date specified in such notice; and/or

(ii) Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right to occupy the Premises and re-enter and take possession of the Premises without terminating or canceling this Lease; and Landlord may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, either recover all rent as it becomes due or relet the Premises or any part thereof on terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion may deem advisable with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Premises in connection with such reletting. If Landlord elects to relet the Premises, then rents received by Landlord from such reletting will be applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due thereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any cost of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of any alterations and repairs to the Premises incurred in connection with such reletting; fourth, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder and the residue, if any, will be held by Landlord and applied to payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. Should that portion of such rents received from such reletting during any month, which is applied to the payment of rent hereunder, be less than the rent payable during that month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant agrees to pay such deficiency to Landlord immediately upon demand therefor by Landlord. Such deficiency will be calculated and paid monthly; and/or

(iii) Landlord may take no action and recover from Tenant all rent as it comes due or for all rent upon expiration of the Term.

(iv) Landlord may enter the Premises and remove all property from the Premises to a warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of Tenant, all without being deemed guilty of trespass or becoming liable for any loss, damage or damages which may be occasioned thereby.

C. In the event of any actions relating to enforcing Landlord’s rights under this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, both at trial and on appeal.

D. In the event of a default hereunder beyond applicable periods of notice and cure, Landlord may declare Tenant in default under any or all other agreements between Landlord and Tenant or any affiliate of Tenant, whether in effect now or following the date of this Lease.

E. All Monthly Rent or Other Charges under this Lease that are not received within five (5) days of the date due shall bear interest at the rate of the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the highest amount permitted by law, from the date due until paid.

19. SURRENDER OF PREMISES: Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord at the expiration or sooner termination of the Term (as it may be extended) in as good a state of and condition and repair as the same was in on the Effective Date, broom-clean, except for reasonable wear and tear. All alterations and improvements, including HVAC equipment, wall coverings, carpeting and other floor coverings, ceiling tiles, window treatments, lighting fixtures, built-in or attached shelving, built-in furniture, millwork, countertops, cabinetry, all doors (both exterior and interior), bathroom fixtures, sinks, kitchen area improvements, and wall mirrors, made by Landlord or Tenant or their contractors to the Premises, and any wiring or cables in the Building serving the Premises, shall become Landlord’s property upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Term with no compensation to Tenant and shall remain in the Premises and Building upon the expiration or termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to remove either during the Term (or any extension thereof), or upon termination of the Lease any trade fixtures which are removable and which were installed by Tenant (including without limitation automated teller machines, computer equipment, safety deposit boxes), provided that Tenant shall repair any damage caused by such removal, at its expense, in a good and workmanlike manner with, within twenty (20) days of written request by Landlord delivered to Tenant either during or after the Term. If Tenant fails to perform such removal in accordance with the foregoing terms, Landlord may perform such work and in such event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the costs thereof within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of a written demand from Landlord, and if Tenant fails to pay such costs when due the amount due shall bear interest at the amount set forth in Section 19F above. On the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, Tenant, at its expense, shall remove from the Premises all moveable trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, including moveable communications equipment and moveable office equipment, that are installed in the Premises by Tenant without expense to Landlord, and all moveable trade fixtures, furniture, furnishings, and other articles of moveable personal property owned by Tenant and located in the Premises. Any items of Tenant’s property that shall remain in the Premises after the expiration or sooner

termination of the Term, may, at the option of Landlord, be deemed to have been abandoned, and in that case, those items may be retained by Landlord as its property to be disposed of by Landlord, without accountability to Tenant or any other party, in the manner Landlord shall determine, at Tenant’s expense. The provisions of this Section 20 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

20. HOLDING OVER: Any hold over by Tenant beyond the expiration of the Term (as may be extended) shall be a tenancy at will and there shall be no renewal of this Lease by operation of law. During any holdover, Tenant shall pay one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Monthly Rent rate and other payments due hereunder which are in effect at the end of the Lease Term, for each month or portion of a month Tenant holds over, and Tenant shall comply with all other terms of this Lease (including, without limitation, payment of Tenant’s Other Charges and Operating Costs, as set forth in this Lease) during any such holdover. In addition, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all damages, including consequential damages, that Landlord may suffer by reason of any holding over by Tenant, and Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and save Landlord harmless against all costs, claims, losses, or liabilities resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises, including any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded on any delay.

21. LANDLORD’S INTEREST: 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 interest. No shareholder, director, officer, employee, agent, or partner (general or limited) of Landlord shall have any personal liability under any provision of this Lease. If Landlord defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall look solely to Landlord’s interest to the Premises and not to the other assets of Landlord for satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in no event shall Landlord be in default under this Lease unless Tenant has notified Landlord in writing setting forth the specific failure of Landlord under this Lease and Landlord has failed to cure such alleged failure within thirty (30) days of such notice, or if the failure is not susceptible to cure within thirty (30) days Landlord shall not be in default so long as Landlord promptly commences the cure within such thirty (30) day period and diligently pursues it to completion. Landlord and Tenant each waive all rights to consequential damages or punitive or special damages of any kind (except as set forth herein).

22. NOTICES: Any notice to be given under this Lease may be given by either party or its attorney or agent and shall be in writing and delivered by hand, by nationally recognized overnight air courier services (such as Federal Express), or by United States Postal Service, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, in each case addressed to the respective party at the address specified in Section 1F or such other address as designated in writing by either party. A notice shall be deemed effective upon receipt or the date sent if it is returned to the addressor because it is refused, unclaimed, or the addressee has moved.

23. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS: This Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of the heirs, personal representatives, administrators, and, except as otherwise provided, the successors or assigns of the parties to this Lease. Nothing contained in this Lease shall in any manner restrict Landlord’s right to assign or encumber this Lease in its sole discretion. If Landlord assigns this Lease, Landlord shall be released from its obligations.

24. BROKER: Tenant represents and warrants that it neither consulted nor negotiated with any broker or finder regarding the Premises, except the Leasing Broker(s) listed in Section 1G. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and save Landlord harmless from and against any claims for commissions from any real estate broker related to this Lease (other than Landlord’s Broker listed in Section 1G above).

25. ENVIRONMENTAL: Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that Tenant shall not cause or permit any “Hazardous Substances” (as hereinafter defined) to be generated, placed, held, stored, used, located or disposed of on the Premises or any part thereof, or on any part of the Premises, except for Hazardous Substances as are commonly and legally used or stored as a consequence of using the Premises for general office and administrative purposes, but only so long as the quantities thereof do not pose a threat to public health or to the environment, and so long as Tenant strictly complies or causes compliance with all applicable governmental rules and regulations concerning the use or production of such Hazardous Substances. For purposes hereof, “Hazardous Substances” includes any hazardous wastes and toxic substances, including, without limitation, those regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended in 1984; (42 U.S.C. Sec. 6901 et seq.); the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended in 1986; (42 U.S.C. Sec. 9601 et seq.); the Federal Toxic Substances Control Act; (15 U.S.C. Sec. 2601 et seq.); the Clean Air Act; (42 U.S.C. Sec. 7401 et seq.); the Pollutant Spill Prevention and Control Act; (F.S, Chapter 376 et seq.); and any other state, federal or local statutes or ordinances pertaining to environmental contamination, together with all rules, regulations, orders and the like, applicable to the same. The obligations of Tenant under this Section shall survive any expiration or termination of this Lease.

26. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL: Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a right of first refusal to purchase all of the Premises on the same terms and conditions as contained in any bona fide written offer to purchase all or any portion of the Premises that is received by Landlord during the Term, including any extensions or renewals (“Offer”). Upon receipt of an acceptable Offer, Landlord shall deliver a true and correct copy of the Offer to Tenant who shall thereafter have ten (10) days from receipt of the Offer to advise Landlord as to whether Tenant shall purchase the Premises at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as stated in the Offer (“Tenant’s Offer”). If Tenant delivers Tenant’s Offer to Landlord within ten (10) days from Tenant’s receipt of the Offer, then Landlord shall accept the Tenant’s Offer and the parties shall promptly enter into a purchase contract containing substantially the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Offer. The foregoing right of first refusal shall commence on the Rent Commencement Date and shall remain applicable throughout the Term. If Tenant shall not exercise its right of first refusal within the ten (10) day time period specified above, men Landlord may accept the Offer and convey the Premises to the purchaser named in the Offer, or such purchaser’s assignee, in accordance with the terms thereof. In such event, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, however, the right of first refusal contained in this Section 26 shall automatically terminate as of such conveyance. If, however, the sale contemplated by the Offer shall not be consummated, the right of first refusal set forth in this paragraph shall not be terminated, but shall continue to be applicable to any subsequent bona fide offer submitted during the Term.

27. MISCELLANEOUS:

A. This Lease and the Exhibits and any Riders or Addenda attached to it contain the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant and there are no other agreements, either oral or written. This Lease shall not be modified or amended except by a written document signed by Landlord and Tenant which specifically refers to this Lease. The captions in this Lease are for convenience only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or intent of the provisions of this Lease. The words “including” and “include” when used in this Lease shall be deemed to mean “including, but not limited to,” or “including without limitation.”

B. If any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Lease is or are ultimately determined by a court of law to be in violation of any local, state or federal law, or public policy, and if such court shall declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Lease to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent both of Landlord and Tenant that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this Lease shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not contained herein, and that the rights, obligations and interests of Landlord and Tenant under the remainder of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, unless the amounts due from Tenant to Landlord is thereby decreased, in which event Landlord may terminate this Lease.

C. 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. The receipt by Landlord of any Monthly Rent after default on the part of Tenant (whether the Monthly 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 Monthly 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 Monthly Rent. No endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment of Monthly 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 Section modify the common law rules of waiver and estoppel and the provisions of any statute which might dictate a contrary result.

D. Landlord and Tenant agree to record a memorandum of this Lease giving notice of the Term, the right of first refusal and the exclusive uses in the public records of the County where the Premises are located. The memorandum shall provide that it shall expire and no longer be an encumbrance on the Premises upon the recording by Landlord of a sworn statement that this Lease and Tenant’s rights hereunder have terminated.

E. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Unavoidable Delay” shall mean any delays due to strikes, 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, interruption of utility services by a utility provider, or any other cause beyond the direct control of the party delayed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if Landlord shall be delayed in the performance of any act required under this Lease by reason of any Unavoidable Delay, then the period for the performance of the act shall be extended for a time period reasonably related to the actual delays resulting from the occurrence. The provisions of this Subsection shall not operate to extend the 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.

F. State required disclosure: Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas which, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your county public health unit. Tenant acknowledges this disclosure by signing this Lease.
