year, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent the difference between the amount of
estimated Tenant's Proportionate Share of Taxes paid by Tenant and the actual amount of Tenant's
Proportionate Share of Taxes. This Additional Rent payment shall be due and payable within thirty

Payment Act, Ch. 218, Fla. Stat. If the total amount of estimated payments made by Tenant in
respect of Tenant's Proportionate Share of Taxes paid by Tenant for any calendar or fiscal year shall
exceed the actual amount of Tenant's Proportionate Share of Taxes for such calendar or fiscal year,
then such excess amount shall be credited against the monthly installments of Additional Rent due
and payable from Tenant to Landlord hereunder with respect to Taxes, until such amount shall have
been refunded in full to Tenant, provided however, that any excess payments made by Tenant
during the Term that have not been so applied and are outstanding at the expiration or sooner
termination of the Term shall be paid to Tenant within thirty (30) days following such expiration or
sooner termination.
5.04 Payment of Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Costs
Commencing on the second anniversary of the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord on account of Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Costs and as Additional Rent, a
sum equal to one - twelfth (1 /12th) of the amount of Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Costs
for each calendar year allocable to the Term on or before the first day of each month of such
expense year, in advance, in an amount reasonably estimated by Landlord and billed by Landlord to
Tenant; provided that Landlord shall have the right initially to determine such monthly estimates,
and to reasonably revise such estimates from time to time. As soon as practicable after the end of
each fiscal year, Landlord shall prepare and furnish Tenant with Landlord's Statement setting forth

Within thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of Landlord's Statement, Tenant shall pay Tenant's
Proportionate Share of the Operating Costs (less the amount of estimated payments paid by Tenant
on account thereof) to Landlord as Additional Rent. If the actual amount of Tenant's Proportionate
Share of Operating Costs for such calendar year exceeds the estimated amount of Tenant's
Proportionate Share of Operating Costs paid by Tenant for said period, then Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the difference between the estimated amount of Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating
Costs paid by Tenant and the actual amount of Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Costs.
This Additional Rent payment shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days following delivery of
Landlord's Statement in compliance with Local Government Prompt Payment Act Ch. 218, Fla. Stat.
If the total amount of estimated payments made by Tenant in respect of Tenant's Proportionate
Share of Operating Costs for such calendar year shall exceed the actual amount of Tenant's
Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for said period, then such excess amount shall be credited
against the monthly installments of Additional Rent due and payable from Tenant to Landlord
hereunder with respect to Operating Costs until such amount shall have been refunded in full to
Tenant provided, however, any excess payments made by Tenant during the Term that have not
been so applied and are, outstanding at the expiration or sooner termination of the Term shall be
paid to Tenant within thirty (30) days following such expiration or sooner termination.
6. Landlord's Statements
6.01 Landlord's Statements shall be rendered to Tenant, but Landlord's failure to render
Landlord's Statement with respect to any fiscal year or Landlord's delay in rendering said Statement
beyond a date specified herein shall not prejudice Landlord's right to render a Landlord's Statement
with respect to that or any subsequent calendar or fiscal year. The obligations of Landlord and
Tenant under the provisions of this Article with respect to any Additional Rent incurred during the
Term shall survive the expiration or any sooner termination of the Term. If Landlord fails to give
Tenant a statement of projected Operating Costs prior to the commencement of any calendar or
fiscal year, Tenant shall continue to pay Operating Costs in accordance with the previous statement,
4
until Tenant receives a new statement from Landlord.
16E3

Landlord's books and records as applicable as more fully set forth below (each a "Tenant Audit ").
The Landlord shall cooperate with the Tenant with any verification effort and shall provide the
Tenant with copies of invoices and other evidence of costs /payments as the Tenant may reasonably

parties, the Tenant shall continue paying Additional Rent in the amounts determined by the
Landlord, subject to any adjustment after appropriate verification of the Additional Rent due and
payable by the Tenant or resolution of any dispute as set forth below. The Tenant Audit shall
commence by no later than ninety (90) calendar days after the Landlord's receipt of the Tenant's
notice thereof and shall be completed and a copy of the results of the Tenant Audit shall be
delivered to the Landlord within fifteen (15) business days after such commencement.
6.03 The Landlord shall maintain complete and accurate books and records of all Operating
Expenses paid or incurred by the Landlord and all payments of Operating Expenses received from
the Tenant or any other tenant or occupant of any portion of the Building. Such books and records
shall be kept at a location in the county in which the Building is located, or at Landlord's
headquarters in Westport, Connecticut, at Landlord's option. The Tenant, acting in the context of a
Tenant Audit shall have the right, to inspect, copy and audit such books and records at any time
during normal business hours subject to the conditions set forth in subsection 6.02 above. The
Landlord shall promptly repay the Tenant for any overpayments which Tenant's auditors identify. If
such overpayments exceed ten percent (10 %) of the Tenant's payments of Additional Rent for the
period, the Landlord shall pay for the reasonable thirds -party cost of the audit within ten (10) days
following receipt of the Tenant's invoice therefor. If the parties are unable to resolve their
differences as to the amount of any payment, the Tenant shall give notice to the Landlord
identifying a disinterested certified public accountant of recognized competency. Within ten (10)
days thereafter, the Landlord shall by written notice to the Tenant appoint a second disinterested
certified public accountant of recognized competency. The certified public accountants thus
appointed shall appoint a third disinterested certified public accountant of recognized competency
and such three certified public accountants shall as promptly as possible, determine such matter but
in no event later than thirty (30) days after the appointment of the third certified public accountant.
The determination of the majority of the certified public accountants shall be conclusive upon the
parties. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of the accountant appointed by such party and
shall share equally the fees and expenses of the third accountant.
6.04 If the Tenant fails to timely request the Tenant Audit, or the results of the Tenant
Audit are not timely delivered to the Landlord as required by subsection 6.02 hereof, then such
statement shall be deemed to have been approved and accepted by the Tenant as correct.

Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to a proposed subletting or assignment. The

sublet to or occupied by anybody other than the Tenant, the Landlord may, at the Landlord's option,
collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the
Rent herein reserved (and any sublease shall confirm such option by the Landlord), but no such
collection shall be deemed a waiver of the Tenant's obligations hereunder, or the acceptance of the
assignee, subtenant or occupants, or a release of the Tenant from the obligations and liabilities of
the Tenant under this Lease.
7.06.2 If the Tenant desires to assign this Lease or to sublease all or substantially all of the
Leased Premises in the aggregate, the Tenant shall first give written notice to the Landlord of the
proposed transaction which notice shall include (i) the name and address of the proposed transferee,

transferee certified by an officer, partner, member or owner thereof, (vi) such other information as

any other reason, Landlord may give to Tenant a notice of its intention to terminate this Lease at
the expiration of three (3) business days from the date of service of the notice as required by Florida

the Landlord's re -entry, the institution of summary proceeding, and the issuance of any warrants
with respect thereto.

the expenses to which the Landlord may be put in re- entering the Leased Premises; repossessing
the Leased Premises; making good any Default of the Tenant; putting the Leased Premises in proper

the sum of any leasing commissions paid by Landlord in connection with the Lease, each calculated

month, if any. Each payment shall be made to the Landlord at the Landlord's notice address or such
other address as the Landlord may designate by giving notice to the Tenant. Any suit brought by the
Landlord to enforce collection of Agreed Current Damages for any one month shall not prejudice the
Landlord's right to enforce the collection of Agreed Current Damages for any subsequent month, nor
preclude Landlord's right to enforce the collection of Agreed Final Damages, as Landlord chooses, in
its sole discretion.
15.04.4. The Landlord may relet all or any part of the Leased Premises for all or any part of
the unexpired portion of the then current term of this Lease or for any longer period and may accept
any Rent then obtainable; grant any commercially reasonable concessions of Rent; and agree to
paint or make any special repairs, alterations, and decorations for any new tenant as it may deem

elects by notice to the Tenant, the Tenant shall pay the Landlord "Liquidated and Agreed Final
Damages ". As used in this Article 15, "Liquidated and Agreed Final Damages" means the difference
between (a) (i) the Rent and all other charges which would have been payable by the Tenant from
the date of the election to the date when this Lease would have expired if it had not been so
cancelled, (ii) the expenses to which the Landlord may be put in re- entering the Leased Premises;
repossessing the Leased Premises; making good any Default of the Tenant; putting the Leased
Premises in proper repair; reletting the Leased Premises (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements, marshal's fees, tenant improvement allowance, fit -up costs, and brokerage

Landlord to Tenant, (iv) the full cost of any tenant improvements made by Landlord for the benefit
of Tenant, and (v) the sum of any leasing commissions paid by Landlord in connection with the
Lease, each calculated without regard to principles of depreciation or amortization; and (b) the "Fair
Rental Value" of the Leased Premises for the same period both discounted to present worth at an
annual interest factor of seven percent (7 %). Upon payment of Liquidated and Agreed Final
Damages pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 15.05, Tenant shall be under no
further liability with respect to the period after the date of cancellation. "Fair Rental Value" of the
Leased Premises for purposes of this Section 15.05 shall conclusively be determined to be as agreed
by the parties in writing for this purpose or, absent such agreement, the rent called for by any lease
entered into by the Landlord for the Leased Premises subsequent to Tenant's surrender or removal.
15.06 Waiver of Right of Redemption
The Tenant hereby waives (to the extent legally permissible), for itself and all persons
claiming by, through, or under it, any right of redemption or for the restoration of the operation of

charge equal to five percent (5 %) of the unpaid installment, payable as Additional Rent on or before
16
16E3

any Rent within ten (10) days of the date said payment is due, the Landlord shall be entitled, in
addition to the aggregate late charge described above, to interest on the outstanding balance from
the date on which the same was due to the date of payment at the annual rate equal to the lesser of
(i) ten percent (10 %), and (ii) the maximum amount allowable under Florida law.

any times, in any order, to any extent, and as often as the Landlord deems advisable without regard
to whether the exercise of one right or remedy precedes, concurs with or succeeds the exercise of
another.
15.09.2 A single or partial exercise of a right or remedy shall not preclude a further exercise
thereof or the exercise of another right or remedy from time to time.

limiting the Landlord's right of distress and covenants and agrees that notwithstanding any such
statutes, all of the trade fixtures, goods and chattels of the Tenant on the Leased Premises at any

the sum of the last monthly Annual Base and Additional Rent payment made prior to such
expiration, and Tenant waives any further notice or demands for rent due upon hold over.

and Tenant shall pay the Additional Rent set forth on such Landlord's Statement (less the amount of

year, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent the difference between the amount of
estimated Tenant's Proportionate Share of Taxes paid by Tenant and the actual amount of Tenant's
Proportionate Share of Taxes. This Additional Rent payment shall be due and payable within thirty

Payment Act, Ch. 218, Fla. Stat. If the total amount of estimated payments made by Tenant in
respect of Tenant's Proportionate Share of Taxes paid by Tenant for any calendar or fiscal year shall
exceed the actual amount of Tenant's Proportionate Share of Taxes for such calendar or fiscal year,
then such excess amount shall be credited against the monthly installments of Additional Rent due
and payable from Tenant to Landlord hereunder with respect to Taxes, until such amount shall have
been refunded in full to Tenant, provided however, that any excess payments made by Tenant
during the Term that have not been so applied and are outstanding at the expiration or sooner
termination of the Term shall be paid to Tenant within thirty (30) days following such expiration or
sooner termination.
5.04 Payment of Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Costs
Commencing on the second anniversary of the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord on account of Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Costs and as Additional Rent, a
sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the amount of Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Costs
for each calendar year allocable to the Term on or before the first day of each month of such
expense year, in advance, in an amount reasonably estimated by Landlord and billed by Landlord to
Tenant; provided that Landlord shall have the right initially to determine such monthly estimates,
and to reasonably revise such estimates from time to time. As soon as practicable after the end of

Within thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of Landlord's Statement, Tenant shall pay Tenant's
Proportionate Share of the Operating Costs (less the amount of estimated payments paid by Tenant
on account thereof) to Landlord as Additional Rent. If the actual amount of Tenant's Proportionate
Share of Operating Costs for such calendar year exceeds the estimated amount of Tenant's
Proportionate Share of Operating Costs paid by Tenant for said period, then Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the difference between the estimated amount of Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating
Costs paid by Tenant and the actual amount of Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Costs.
This Additional Rent payment shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days following delivery of
Landlord's Statement in compliance with Local Government Prompt Payment Act Ch. 218, Fla. Stat.
If the total amount of estimated payments made by Tenant in respect of Tenant's Proportionate
Share of Operating Costs for such calendar year shall exceed the actual amount of Tenant's
Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for said period, then such excess amount shall be credited
against the monthly installments of Additional Rent due and payable from Tenant to Landlord
hereunder with respect to Operating Costs until such amount shall have been refunded in full to
Tenant provided, however, any excess payments made by Tenant during the Term that have not
been so applied and are outstanding at the expiration or sooner termination of the Term shall be
paid to Tenant within thirty (30) days following such expiration or sooner termination.
6. Landlord's Statements
6.01 Landlord's Statements shall be rendered to Tenant, but Landlord's failure to render
Landlord's Statement with respect to any fiscal year or Landlord's delay in rendering said Statement
beyond a date specified herein shall not prejudice Landlord's right to render a Landlord's Statement
with respect to that or any subsequent calendar or fiscal year. The obligations of Landlord and
Tenant under the provisions of this Article with respect to any Additional Rent incurred during the
Term shall survive the expiration or any sooner termination of the Term. If Landlord fails to give
Tenant a statement of projected Operating Costs prior to the commencement of any calendar or
fiscal year, Tenant shall continue to pay Operating Costs in accordance with the previous statement,

until Tenant receives a new statement from Landlord.

Landlord's books and records as applicable as more fully set forth below (each a "Tenant Audit").
The Landlord shall cooperate with the Tenant with any verification effort and shall provide the
Tenant with copies of invoices and other evidence of costs/payments as the Tenant may reasonably
request. Pending resolution of any verification request made by the Tenant or dispute between the

Landlord, subject to any adjustment after appropriate verification of the Additional Rent due and
payable by the Tenant or resolution of any dispute as set forth below. The Tenant Audit shall
commence by no later than ninety (90) calendar days after the Landlord's receipt of the Tenant's
notice thereof and shall be completed and a copy of the results of the Tenant Audit shall be
delivered to the Landlord within fifteen (15) business days after such commencement.
6.03 The Landlord shall maintain complete and accurate books and records of all Operating
Expenses paid or incurred by the Landlord and all payments of Operating Expenses received from
the Tenant or any other tenant or occupant of any portion of the Building. Such books and records
shall be kept at a location in the county in which the Building is located, or at Landlord's
headquarters in Westport, Connecticut, at Landlord's option. The Tenant, acting in the context of a
Tenant Audit shall have the right, to inspect, copy and audit such books and records at any time
during normal business hours subject to the conditions set forth in subsection 6.02 above. The
Landlord shall promptly repay the Tenant for any overpayments which Tenant's auditors identify. If
such overpayments exceed ten percent (10%) of the Tenant's payments of Additional Rent for the
period, the Landlord shall pay for the reasonable thirds-party cost of the audit within ten (10) days
following receipt of the Tenant's invoice therefor. If the parties are unable to resolve their
differences as to the amount of any payment, the Tenant shall give notice to the Landlord
identifying a disinterested certified public accountant of recognized competency. Within ten (10)
days thereafter, the Landlord shall by written notice to the Tenant appoint a second disinterested
certified public accountant of recognized competency. The certified public accountants thus

mortgage or encumber this Lease, or sublease all or any part of the Leased Premises, or suffer or
permit the Leased Premises or any part thereof to be subleased to or used by others, without the
prior written consent of the Landlord in each instance. As provided in subsection 7.06.3 below, the
Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to a proposed subletting or assignment. The
transfer (or transfers in the aggregate) of more than a 30% interest in the Tenant to one not an
owner of the Tenant on the date hereof, shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease for the
purposes of this Section. If this Lease be assigned, or if the Leased Premises or any part thereof be
sublet to or occupied by anybody other than the Tenant, the Landlord may, at the Landlord's option,
collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the
Rent herein reserved (and any sublease shall confirm such option by the Landlord), but no such
collection shall be deemed a waiver of the Tenant's obligations hereunder, or the acceptance of the
assignee, subtenant or occupants, or a release of the Tenant from the obligations and liabilities of
the Tenant under this Lease.
7.06.2 If the Tenant desires to assign this Lease or to sublease all or substantially all of the
Leased Premises in the aggregate, the Tenant shall first give written notice to the Landlord of the
proposed transaction which notice shall include (i) the name and address of the proposed transferee,
(ii) the proposed effective date of the transaction, which shall be no less than forty-five (45) days
nor more than 180 days after the date of delivery of the Tenant's notice, (iii) all of the terms of the
proposed transaction and the consideration therefor, (iv) a copy of all existing and/or proposed
documentation pertaining to the proposed transfer, (v) current financial statements of the proposed
transferee certified by an officer, partner, member or owner thereof, (vi) such other information as
the Landlord may reasonably require. The Landlord shall have the right, by notice to the Tenant
within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Tenant's notice, to terminate this Lease. If the Tenant
desires to sublease less than substantially all of the Leased Premises in the aggregate, the Tenant
shall first give notice to the Landlord as aforesaid, and the Landlord shall have the right, by written
notice to the Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Tenant's notice, to terminate this
Lease with respect to the portion of the Leased Premises proposed to be subleased. If the Landlord
exercises its right to terminate this Lease with respect to such portion of the Leased Premises, then
the Annual Base Rent and Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be proportionally reduced, and an
adjustment shall be made for amounts, if any, paid in advance and applicable to the portion of the
Leased Premises no longer leased by the Tenant.
7.06.3 If the Landlord elects not to so terminate this Lease, then Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold its consent to the proposed subletting or assignment. The Tenant shall pay
to the Landlord as Additional Rent, within ten (10) days after receipt of payments from a subtenant
6
CAS)'
16E 3
or assignee, any "Profit" on a subletting or assignment. For purposes of this subsection, the term
"Profit" shall mean the excess of consideration of any type received by the Tenant from the
subtenant or assignee, over (in the case of a sublease only) a pro rata portion of the Rent payable
by Tenant hereunder. Whether or not the Landlord shall grant its consent, Tenant shall pay
Landlord's review and processing fees, as well as any reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the
Landlord, within ten (10) days after written demand by the Landlord. The Landlord shall not in any
event be obligated to approve of or consent to any proposed assignment or subletting unless:
(a) in the reasonable judgment of the Landlord the proposed assignee or subtenant is of
a character and engaged in a business such as are in keeping with the standards of
the Landlord in those respects for the Building and its occupancy;
(b) the proposed assignee or subtenant is of a financial strength and creditworthiness as
the Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems sufficient to meet the
monetary obligations of the Lease or sublease, as the case may be;
(c) in the reasonable judgment of the Landlord the purposes for which the proposed
assignee or subtenant intends to use the Leased Premises sublet or assigned to it are
such as are in keeping with the standards of the Landlord for the Building and its
occupancy, it being understood and agreed that any such written request for consent
to a subletting or assignment shall specify the purpose for which the assignee or
subtenant intends to use the Leased Premises so assigned or sublet and the Landlord
shall not be required to consent to the use of the Leased Premises for such specified
purposes should such proposed use be prohibited by this Lease, be a violation of
applicable law, or violate any provision of the lease of any other tenant;
(d) if any space is available in the Building at the time of the proposed assignment or
sublet, the proposed per square foot rental rate of the assignment or sublet equals or
exceeds 110% of the rental rate at which the Landlord is offering the available space.
(e) the proposed assignee or subtenant shall not be a then-existing tenant or occupant of
the Building, or a person or entity with whom the Landlord or its representatives is
then dealing with regard to leasing space in the Building, or with whom the Landlord
or its representatives has had any dealings within the past six months with regard to
leasing space in the Building.
7.06.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing, without Landlord's consent and without being subject
to Landlord's rights under subsections 7.06.2 and 7.06.3 above but upon sixty (60) days' prior
notice to the Landlord, this Lease may be assigned, or the Leased Premises may be sublet, to any
entity which is an "Affiliate" or "Successor" of the Tenant provided that (i) such entity has assets
and a net worth at least equal to that of the Tenant on the date of such acquisition or corporate
transaction, (ii) the Tenant shall not then be in default with respect to any of the Tenant's
obligations under this Lease, and (iii) such transaction shall be made for a valid business purpose
other than (and not principally for) the purpose of transferring the leasehold estate created hereby.
Within ten (10) days after the execution of any such assignment or sublease, the Tenant shall
deliver to the Landlord (i) a complete copy of the documentation pertaining to the transfer, and (ii)
current financial statements of the Affiliate or Successor certified by an officer, partner, member or
owner thereof. For the purposes of this Section, an "Affiliate" means any entity controlling,
controlled by or under common control with the Tenant. A "Successor" means any entity which
acquires all or substantially all of the assets of the Tenant or which survives a statutory merger or
consolidation with the Tenant. If, at any time thereafter, the transferee shall no longer be an
Affiliate of the Tenant, that shall be deemed a new assignment or sublease, as the case may be,
subject to this Section.
7.06.5 No assignment, sublease or other transfer of this Lease, whether with or without the
Landlord's consent, shall relieve the Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease from its obligations and
liabilities under this Lease or any guaranty including, without limitation, the obligation to pay Rent
and the obligation to obtain the Landlord's consent to any further assignment, subletting or other
transfer.

shall cause the rate of insurance on the Building to be increased, and that if the rate of insurance on
the Building shall be so increased by reason of anything done or omitted by the Tenant or by anyone
permitted by the Tenant to be upon the Leased Premises, the Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent
the amount of the such increase.
7.09 Tenant's Insurance
The Tenant shall take out and keep in force during the Term:
7.09.1 Insurance with respect to fire and such other perils as are from time to time defined
in the usual extended coverage endorsement (including flood, plate glass and malicious damage

procure the discharge thereof as a matter of record by bonding or otherwise. Except with respect to
the Landlord's Work, the interest of the Landlord shall not be subject to liens for improvements
made by the Tenant and the Tenant shall notify any contractor making any improvements of this
provision. Tenant understands that the knowing or willful failure of the Tenant to provide such
9

the option of the contractor. Prior to the commencement of any work requiring a permit, Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord (i) plans of such alterations, installations or improvements in form and

consents to such changes or alterations, shall be made by the Landlord at the Tenant's cost and
expense. The Landlord reserves the right to reasonably and temporarily stop the service of said air
conditioning or heating equipment when necessary, by reason of accident or repairs, alterations or
improvements, in the judgment of the Landlord desirable or necessary to be made, until such
repairs, alterations or improvements shall have been completed (and which the Landlord shall
complete diligently), and the Landlord shall further have no responsibility or liability for failure to
supply said air conditioning or heating service when stopped as aforesaid or when prevented from so
doing by strikes or by any cause beyond the Landlord's reasonable control, or by orders or
regulations of any federal, state or municipal authority, or by failure of electric current, steam water
or other suitable power supply, or by inability upon the exercise of reasonable diligence to obtain
such electric current, steam, water or other suitable power supply for the operation of the said
equipment. The Landlord shall not be liable for direct, indirect, consequential damage or economic
loss or for damages arising from personal discomfort in each case by reason of the operation or non-

from the other party, or from the other party's employees, agents, contractors, customers, invitees,
or business visitors, for any and all loss or damage to the Leased Premises or the remainder of the
Building or to the contents thereof, to the extent such loss or damage is insured or is required to be
insured by it under the terms of this Lease, whichever amount of coverage is greater, regardless of
whether such loss or damage is due to the negligence of such other party or its agents, employees,
contractors, customers, invites, or business visitors. Landlord and Tenant will cause their respective
insurers to issue or provide for appropriate waiver of subrogation endorsements or provisions to all

fashion.
9. Fixtures
Any trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and personal property placed in the Premises that
are removable without damage to the Building or the Premises, whether the property of Tenant or
leased by Tenant, are herein sometimes called "Tenant's Property". Any of Tenant's Property not

damage can reasonably be repaired by the Landlord within 180 days from the date of the damage
(90 days in the case of damage within the last twelve (12) months of the Term), then the damage
shall be diligently repaired by and at the expense of the Landlord (to the extent of net insurance
proceeds actually received by the Landlord for restoration), subject to the Landlord's obligations
under any mortgage, applicable law and insurance requirements, and the Rent until such repairs
shall be made shall be apportioned according to the part of the Leased Premises which is tenantable.
10.02. If the Building is destroyed or rendered wholly untenantable by fire or other cause, or
if the Building shall be so damaged that it cannot reasonably be repaired by the Landlord within 180
days (90 days in the case of damage within the last twelve (12) months of the Term) from the date
of the damage, or if the Landlord shall elect not to restore the same but to demolish it or rebuild it,
then in any of such events the Landlord may, within sixty (60) days after such casualty, give the
Tenant a notice in writing of intention to terminate this Lease, and thereupon the Term shall expire,
effective the date of the casualty, and the Tenant shall vacate the Premises and surrender the same
13
1-6-E 3
to the Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of the Landlord's notice. If the Landlord does not
elect to terminate this Lease, the provisions of subsection 10.01 shall govern.
11. Condemnation
11.01 The Tenant shall have no right to the proceeds arising from any condemnation by the
power of eminent domain unless part or all of the Leased Premises are condemned or access
thereto is materially and adversely affected thereby in which event Tenant's right to proceeds
shall be limited to the extent expressly attributable to Tenant's leasehold interest and to the
extent they do not diminish Landlord's proceeds.

the Leased Premises is physically reduced, then from and after the date of such physical reduction

adjusted on the basis of the Rentable Area set out therein.
12. Damage to Property
The Landlord shall not be liable or responsible in any way for any loss of or damage or injury
to any property belonging to the Tenant or to employees of the Tenant or to any other person while
such property is on the Leased Premises or in the Building whether or not such property has been
entrusted to employees of the Landlord and without limiting the generality of the foregoing the
Landlord shall not be liable for any damage to any such property caused by steam, water or rain
which may leak into, issue or flow from any part of the Building or from the water, steam or
drainage pipes or plumbing works of the Building or from any other place or quarter or for any
damage caused by or attributable to the condition or arrangement of any electric or other wiring or
for any damage caused by anything done or omitted by the Landlord or by other tenant of the
Building. All property of the Tenant kept or stored on the Leased Premises shall be so kept or stored
at the risk of the Tenant only and the Tenant shall defend and indemnify the Landlord and save it
harmless from any claim arising out of damage to the same. Under no circumstances shall Tenant
have any obligation to pay Landlord for damages otherwise compensated by insurance.
13. Exculpation
The Landlord and, in case the Landlord shall be a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-
common, association or other form of joint ownership, the members of any such joint venture,
partnership, tenancy-in-common, association or other form of joint ownership, shall have absolutely
no personal liability with respect to any provision of this Lease or any obligation or liability arising
from this Lease or in connection with this Lease in the event of a breach or default by the Landlord
of any of its obligations. The Tenant shall look solely to the equity of the Landlord in the Building for
the satisfaction of Tenant's remedies requiring the payment of money. Such exculpation of liability
shall be absolute and without any exception whatsoever.
14. Impossibility of Performance
Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, whenever and to the extent that either party
shall be unable to fulfill or shall be delayed or restricted in the fulfillment of any obligation

administrative function or the making of any repairs, by reason of being unable to obtain the
material, information, goods, equipment, service, utility or labor required to enable it to fulfill such
obligation or by reason of any statute, law or executive order or any regulation or order passed or
made pursuant thereto or by reason of the order or direction of any administrator, controlled or
board, or any governmental department or officer or other authority, or by reason of not being able
to obtain any permission or authority required thereby, or by reason of any other cause beyond its
control, whether of the foregoing character or not, such party shall be entitled to extend the time for
fulfillment of such obligation by a time equal to the duration of such delay or restriction and the
other shall not be entitled to any compensation for any inconvenience, nuisance or discomfort
thereby occasioned or to cancel this Lease, except that financial incapacity shall not give rise to any
such extension.

agreements, provisions, conditions or Rules and Regulations on the part of the Tenant to be kept,
observed or performed hereunder and such breach, nonobservance or non-performance shall
continue for fifteen (15) days after receipt by Tenant of notice thereof (provided, however, that if
such matter cannot reasonably be cured within fifteen (15) days, Tenant shall not be deemed to be
in Default if Tenant shall have commenced to cure such matter within such fifteen (15) days and is
diligently proceeding therewith).
15.02 Right of Termination
This Lease is subject to the limitation that, if a Default shall occur for nonpayment of Rent or
any other reason, Landlord may give to Tenant a notice of its intention to terminate this Lease at
the expiration of three (3) business days from the date of service of the notice as required by Florida
statute §83.20. At the expiration of the three (3) business days, the Landlord may then terminate
the term of this Lease. Upon such termination, the Lease shall expire and all of the right, title and
interest Tenant shall have under this Lease shall end. The Tenant shall then quit and surrender the
Leased Premises to the Landlord. The Tenant's liability under all of the provisions of this Lease shall
continue notwithstanding any expiration and surrender and notwithstanding any re-entry,
repossession or dispossession under Section 15.03.
15.03 Right of Re-entry
If the term of this Lease shall expire, the Landlord or its agents or employees may
immediately or at any time thereafter lawfully reenter the Leased Premises and lawfully remove the
Tenant, Tenant's agents, any subtenants, any licensees, any concessionaires and any invites, and
any of its or their property from the Leased Premises. Re-entry and removal may be effectuated by
summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law, by lawful force or
otherwise. If the term of this Lease shall expire, the Landlord may repossess and enjoy the Leased
Premises. The Landlord shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of law respecting the speedy
recovery of lands and tenements held over by the Tenant or proceedings in forcible entry and
detainer. The Tenant waives any right to the service of any notice of the Landlord's intention to re-
enter provided for by any present or future law. The Landlord shall not be liable in any way in
connection with any lawful action it takes pursuant to this clause. The Tenant's liability shall survive
the Landlord's re-entry, the institution of summary proceeding, and the issuance of any warrants
with respect thereto.
15.04 Deficiency
15.04.1 If this Lease shall be cancelled under clause 15.02, the Tenant shall remain liable for
all Rent and all other charges the Tenant would have been required to pay until the date this Lease

notwithstanding re-entry or repossession of the Leased Premises by the Landlord.
15.04.2. If this Lease shall be cancelled under subsection 15.02, the Tenant shall pay
"Agreed Current Damages" to the Landlord. As used in this Article 15 "Agreed Current Damages"
means the difference between (a) the sum of (i) Rent as set forth in subsection 15.04.1, above; (ii)
the expenses to which the Landlord may be put in re-entering the Leased Premises; repossessing
the Leased Premises; making good any Default of the Tenant; putting the Leased Premises in proper
repair; reletting the Leased Premises (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements,
marshal's fees, tenant improvement allowance, fit-up costs, and brokerage commissions, in so
doing); (iii) the full amount of any tenant improvement allowances provided by Landlord to Tenant,
(iv) the full cost of any tenant improvements made by Landlord for the benefit of Tenant, and (v)
the sum of any leasing commissions paid by Landlord in connection with the Lease, each calculated
without regard to principles of depreciation or amortization; and (b) the proceeds of any reletting of
the Leased Premises actually received by the Landlord.
15.04.3. At the end of each month, the Tenant shall pay Agreed Current Damages for that
month, if any. Each payment shall be made to the Landlord at the Landlord's notice address or such
other address as the Landlord may designate by giving notice to the Tenant. Any suit brought by the
Landlord to enforce collection of Agreed Current Damages for any one month shall not prejudice the
Landlord's right to enforce the collection of Agreed Current Damages for any subsequent month, nor
preclude Landlord's right to enforce the collection of Agreed Final Damages, as Landlord chooses, in
its sole discretion.
15.04.4. The Landlord may relet all or any part of the Leased Premises for all or any part of
the unexpired portion of the then current term of this Lease or for any longer period and may accept
any Rent then obtainable; grant any commercially reasonable concessions of Rent; and agree to
paint or make any special repairs, alterations, and decorations for any new tenant as it may deem
advisable in its sole and absolute (but reasonable) discretion and in all cases the Tenant's liability
for Rent shall continue.
15.05 Agreed Final Damages
If this Lease shall be cancelled in accordance with subsection 15.02 and the Landlord so
elects by notice to the Tenant, the Tenant shall pay the Landlord "Liquidated and Agreed Final
Damages". As used in this Article 15, "Liquidated and Agreed Final Damages" means the difference
between (a) (i) the Rent and all other charges which would have been payable by the Tenant from
the date of the election to the date when this Lease would have expired if it had not been so
cancelled, (ii) the expenses to which the Landlord may be put in re-entering the Leased Premises;
repossessing the Leased Premises; making good any Default of the Tenant; putting the Leased
Premises in proper repair; reletting the Leased Premises (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements, marshal's fees, tenant improvement allowance, fit-up costs, and brokerage
commissions, in so doing); (iii) the full amount of any tenant improvement allowances provided by
Landlord to Tenant, (iv) the full cost of any tenant improvements made by Landlord for the benefit
of Tenant, and (v) the sum of any leasing commissions paid by Landlord in connection with the
Lease, each calculated without regard to principles of depreciation or amortization; and (b) the "Fair
Rental Value" of the Leased Premises for the same period both discounted to present worth at an
annual interest factor of seven percent (7%). Upon payment of Liquidated and Agreed Final
Damages pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 15.05, Tenant shall be under no
further liability with respect to the period after the date of cancellation. "Fair Rental Value" of the
Leased Premises for purposes of this Section 15.05 shall conclusively be determined to be as agreed
by the parties in writing for this purpose or, absent such agreement, the rent called for by any lease
entered into by the Landlord for the Leased Premises subsequent to Tenant's surrender or removal.
15.06 Waiver of Right of Redemption
The Tenant hereby waives (to the extent legally permissible), for itself and all persons
claiming by, through, or under it, any right of redemption or for the restoration of the operation of
this Lease under any present or future law in case the Tenant shall be dispossessed for any cause,
or in case the Landlord shall obtain possession of the Leased Premises as herein provided.
15.07 Waiver of Trial by Jury
Each of Landlord and Tenant hereby waives all right to trial by jury in any claim, action,
proceeding or counter-claim by either the Landlord or the Tenant against each other on any matters
arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of the Landlord and the Tenant,
and/or the Tenant's use or occupancy of the Leased Premises.
15.08 Late Fee
Any Rent not paid by Tenant by the date said payment is due shall incur an aggregated late
charge equal to five percent (5%) of the unpaid installment, payable as Additional Rent on or before
16
16E_ _ 3
the first day of the succeeding month and every month thereafter. If the Tenant shall fail to pay
any Rent within ten (10) days of the date said payment is due, the Landlord shall be entitled, in
addition to the aggregate late charge described above, to interest on the outstanding balance from
the date on which the same was due to the date of payment at the annual rate equal to the lesser of
(i) ten percent (10%), and (ii) the maximum amount allowable under Florida law.
15.09 Additional Remedies Waivers Etc.
15.09.1 The rights and remedies of the Landlord set forth herein shall be in addition to any
other right and remedy now and hereafter provided by law. All rights and remedies shall be
cumulative and not exclusive of each other. The Landlord may exercise its rights and remedies at
any times, in any order, to any extent, and as often as the Landlord deems advisable without regard
to whether the exercise of one right or remedy precedes, concurs with or succeeds the exercise of
another.
15.09.2 A single or partial exercise of a right or remedy shall not preclude a further exercise
thereof or the exercise of another right or remedy from time to time.
15.09.3 No delay or omission by the Landlord in exercising a right or remedy shall exhaust or
impair the same or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence to Default.
15.09.4 No waiver of Default shall extend to or affect any other Default or impair any right or
remedy with respect thereto.
15.09.5 No waiver of Default shall be effective unless it is in writing.
16. Distress
In the event Tenant fails to cure any Default within the time frame set forth herein and shall
abandon the Leased Premises, leaving trade fixtures, goods and chattels thereon, then, in that event
only, the Tenant waives and renounces the benefit of any present or future statute taking away or
limiting the Landlord's right of distress and covenants and agrees that notwithstanding any such
statutes, all of the trade fixtures, goods and chattels of the Tenant on the Leased Premises at any
time during the Term shall be subject to levy by distress for rent and all other charges payable
under this Lease that are in arrears.
17. Overholding
If the Tenant shall continue to occupy the Leased Premises after the expiration of this Lease
without the consent of the Landlord and without any further written agreement, the Tenant shall be
a hold over tenant at sufferance with a monthly rental rate of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of
the sum of the last monthly Annual Base and Additional Rent payment made prior to such
expiration, and Tenant waives any further notice or demands for rent due upon hold over.
18. Recovery of Adjustments
The Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of the Landlord) the same
rights and remedies in the event of Default by the Tenant in payment of any amount payable by the
Tenant as provided in this Lease, as the Landlord would have in the case of Default in payment of
Annual Base rent.

mortgage, and shall notify the Tenant of the name and address of the mortgagee, then,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no default or termination notice intended for the Landlord
shall be deemed binding on such mortgage unless a copy of the notice is simultaneously sent to the
mortgagee by certified mail, return receipt requested. If any mortgagee shall perform any obligation
that the Landlord is required to perform under this Lease, the performance by the mortgagee shall
be deemed to be performance on behalf of the Landlord insofar as the Tenant is concerned, and the

obligations of the Landlord under this Lease. In such case, the Landlord shall without further written
agreement be freed and relieved of liability thereafter arising for such covenants and obligations.

Premises or the Building in whole or in part, whether or not any such mortgage, charge or deed of

renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. Tenant, whenever
requested, at any time and from time to time by the Landlord or by any mortgagee (including any
trustee under a deed of trust or mortgage) shall promptly (i) attorn to and become the tenant of
such mortgagee, trustee (or any purchaser from such mortgagee, or trustee in the event of an

or deeds of trust) for the then unexpired residue of the Term of this Lease on all terms and
conditions contained herein and the Tenant shall not disaffirm this Lease or any of its obligations
under this Lease, or (ii) postpone and subordinate this Lease to such mortgage or deed of trust to

had been executed and recorded and the money thereby secured had been advanced before the
execution of this Lease (and notwithstanding any authority or consent of such mortgagee or trustee,
