OFFICE LEASE AGREEMENT

THIS LEASE AGREEMENT, made and entered into by and between RADICE III, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Landlord”), and EDIETS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”):

WITNESSETH:

ARTICLE 1: PREMISES:

1.01 Premises. In consideration of the obligation of Tenant to pay rent and of the other terms, provisions and covenants hereof, Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord those premises (the “Premises”) described in the Basic Lease Information Rider (the “BLI Rider”) attached to the front of this Lease and incorporated into this Lease by this reference. The real property on which the Building is located is legally described in Exhibit A. The Premises are outlined on the plan attached as Exhibit B. The Building is part of a development (the “Development”) commonly known as Radice Corporate Center.

ARTICLE 2: TERM OF LEASE AND COMMENCEMENT

2.01 Term of Lease. The term of this Lease (the “Term”) is for the period of time set forth in the BLI Rider, commencing on the Lease commencement date set forth in the BLI Rider (“Commencement Date”) and ending on the Lease expiration date as set forth in the BLI Rider (“Expiration Date”).

2.02 Rent Commencement Date. The “Rent Commencement Date” shall be the earlier to occur of (x) “Completion Date” (as defined in Section 4.02(a)) notwithstanding that any Tenant finish work, special fixtures or decorative treatment has not been performed by Tenant, or (y) the date that Tenant first uses the Premises or any portion thereof for any purpose permitted under this Lease, or (z) October 1, 2006.

ARTICLE 3: BASE RENT, RENT ESCALATION AND SECURITY DEPOSIT

3.01 Base Rent. During the Lease Term, Tenant will pay as the base rent for the Premises (“Base Rent”) the amounts set forth in the BLI Rider, with same being payable without demand, setoff or deduction, in advance, on or before the first day of each month, in equal monthly installments of the amounts set forth in the BLI Rider plus applicable sales and other such taxes as are now or later enacted. In the event any monthly Base Rent and/or Additional Rent payment is not paid within five (5) business days after it is due, Tenant agrees to pay a late charge of five (5%) percent of the amount of the payment due. Tenant further agrees that the late charge assessed pursuant to this Lease is not interest, and the late charge assessed does not constitute a lender or borrower/creditor relationship between Landlord and Tenant, and may be treated by Landlord as Additional Rent owed by Tenant. The first full month’s rent is due at the time Tenant takes possession of the Premises

3.02 Security Deposit. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord within five (5) days after the date of execution of the Lease an irrevocable, unconditional letter of credit in the amount of $_$544,000.00 (the “Letter of Credit”). The Letter of Credit shall be addressed to Landlord, issued in a form and substance similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit G and by a financial institution located in Broward County, Florida approved by Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion, shall be freely transferable without fee, and having an expiration date falling no sooner than one hundred and twenty four (124) months and thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date. Subject to Tenants cure provisions contained herein or by law, Tenant agrees that upon any default by Tenant under the terms and provisions of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to receive payment under any Letter of Credit of the entire amount of such Letter of Credit at such time, and any such amounts received by Landlord shall be held by Landlord and applied in accordance with this Lease in the same manner as a Security Deposit. Provided Tenant is not then in default of the Lease and Tenant has provided Landlord with audited financial statements evidencing that during the quarter immediately prior to the commencement of the 4th Lease Year and 5th Lease Year (pursuant to the schedule set forth below) Tenant has positive cash flow from operations (excluding capital or financing transactions) on an annual basis, Tenant may substitute the Letter of Credit with a new Letter of Credit pursuant to the following schedule:

Years 1 – 3: Letter of Credit in an amount equal to $544,000.00 shall remain unchanged from the amount set forth above;

Year 4: Letter of Credit shall decrease by one third (1/3); to $362,668.00

Year 5: Letter of Credit shall decrease by an additional (1/3); to $241,779.00

End of the 5th Year of the Lease Term: Letter of Credit shall be in the amount of $80,593.00

Upon the occurrence of a material default by Tenant and subject to Tenants cure provisions contained herein or by law, Landlord may, from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy, use such funds to the extent necessary to make good any arrears of rent or other payments due Landlord hereunder, and any other damage, injury, expense or liability caused by Tenant’s default; and Tenant shall


pay to Landlord on demand the amount so applied in order to restore the security deposit to its original amount. Although the security deposit shall be deemed the property of Landlord, any remaining balance of such deposit shall be returned by Landlord at such time after termination of this Lease when Landlord shall have determined that all Tenant’s obligations under this Lease have been fulfilled. Subject to the other terms and conditions contained in this Lease, if the Premises are conveyed by Landlord, said deposit may be turned over to Landlord’s grantee, and if so, Tenant hereby releases Landlord from any and all liability with respect to said deposit and its application or return. In no event is the security deposit to be returned until Tenant has vacated the Premises and delivered possession to Landlord. Landlord shall not be obligated to hold the security deposit in a separate fund, but may mix the security deposit with other funds of the Landlord.

3.03 Rent Abatement. Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be conditionally abated during the first four (4) months of the Term. Commencing with the first day of the fifth (5th) month of the Term, Tenant shall make Base Rent and Additional Rent payments as otherwise provided in the Lease. Notwithstanding such abatement of Base Rent and Additional Rent any increases in Base Rent set forth in the Lease shall occur on the dates scheduled mortgages.

The abatement of Base Rent and Additional Rent is conditioned upon Tenant’s full and timely performance of all of its obligations under the Lease. If at any time during the Term an Event of Default by Tenant occurs, then the abatement of Base Rent and Additional Rent provided shall immediately become void, and Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord, in addition to all other amounts due to Landlord under this Lease, the full amount of all Base Rent and Additional Rent herein abated.

ARTICLE 4: CONSTRUCTION OF PREMISES

4.01 The space plan of the Premises is attached as Exhibit C. The Premises are to be constructed by Tenant.

4.02 Completion. (a) The “Completion Date” shall be the date upon which the Premises shall have been substantially completed in accordance with the plans and specifications agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant (other than any work which cannot be completed on such date provided such in – completion will not substantially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises.

(b) Taking of possession by Tenant shall be deemed to establish conclusively that the Premises have been completed in accordance with the plans and specifications and that the Premises are in good and satisfactory condition as of when possession was so taken.

(c) Upon the Completion Date, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord and Landlord’s mortagee or prospective mortgagee a letter of acceptance of delivery of the Premises on Landlord’s standard form therefore which is attached as Exhibit E (the “Certificate”), acknowledging the Completion Date, the Rent Commencement Date, and the termination date of the Term. In the event of any dispute as to when and whether the work performed or required to be performed by Landlord has been substantially completed, the certificate of an A.I.A. registered architect or a temporary or final certificate of occupancy issued by the local governmental authority shall be conclusive evidence of such completion, effective on the date of the delivery of a copy of any such certificate to Tenant.

ARTICLE 5: PERMITTED USE.

5.01 Permitted Use. Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises for general office purposes and for no other use or purpose. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Building or injure or annoy them, nor use or allow the Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful, or objectionable purposes or for any business, use or purpose deemed to be disreputable or inconsistent with the operation of a first class office building, nor shall Tenant cause or maintain or permit any nuisance in, on, or about the Premises.

If, as a result of any change in the governmental laws, ordinances or regulations, the Premises must be altered to lawfully accommodate the use and occupancy thereof, such alterations shall be made only with the consent of Landlord, but the entire cost thereof shall be borne by Tenant; provided that the necessity of Landlord’s consent shall in no way create any liability against Landlord for failure of Tenant to comply with such laws, ordinances or regulations.

5.03 Compliance with Fire Prevention Code. Landlord has provided sprinklers within the Premises as required by the building code of the local government where the Premises are located. Tenant shall take whatever other actions are necessary so that the Premises and Tenant’s use thereof complies with the Fire Prevention Code of the National Fire Protection Association and any other fire prevention laws, ordinances, rules or regulations applicable to the Premises.


ARTICLE 6: TENANT’S TAXES

6.01 Definition of Taxes. The term “Taxes” shall mean (a) the total of all real estate taxes, taxes attributable to improvements within the Development or any part thereof whether made by Landlord or any tenant, or attributable to the installation of fixtures, machinery, equipment, or other personal property, general and special assessments, water and sewer charges and other governmental impositions, levies and charges (of or by any federal, state, municipal or other government or governmental or public authority, including, without limitation, any school district) of every kind and nature whatsoever, extraordinary as well as ordinary, foreseen and unforeseen, and each and every installment thereof, which shall or may be levied, assessed, imposed, become due and payable, or arise in connection with the use, occupancy or possession of, or grow due or payable out of, or for, the Development or any part thereof, or any land, buildings or other improvements therein, (b) any payments to any ground lessor in reimbursement of tax payments made by such lessor, and (c) any and all costs, fees and expenses paid to attorneys, appraisers and consultants for the purpose of reviewing, negotiating, or contesting the amount of the Taxes, the valuation or assessment of the Development or any portion thereof for tax purposes and any and all costs, fees and expenses arising out of or by reason of any legal or administrative proceeding related to Taxes. In the event that any part of the Development is separately assessed for the purpose of real estate taxation, then, Landlord may, at any time and from time to time, elect, which election shall be subject to revocation, to exclude that portion of the Taxes allocable to any such separately assessed part of the Development from Taxes under this Article 6. The term “Excluded Parcel” shall mean such separately assessed parts of the Development during such period when its allocable share of Taxes is excluded from Taxes. For the purposes of calculating Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes as provided in Section 6.02 hereof, the denominator shall not include that portion of the rentable area of the Development contained within an Excluded Parcel.

6.02 Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes. For each real estate calendar year applicable to the Term (or any renewal or extension of such Term), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, its proportionate share of taxes levied for such calendar year as calculated on the basis of the ratio set forth in Section 8.01. Landlord may, at any time, deliver to Tenant its estimate (or revised estimate) of such amounts payable under this Section for each calendar year. On or before the first day of the next month and on or before the first day of each month thereafter, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent such amount as Landlord shall reasonably determine to be necessary to bring and keep Tenant current. As soon as practicable after the close of each calendar year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement showing the total amount payable by Tenant under this Section. If the statement shows an amount due from Tenant that is less than the estimated payments previously paid by Tenant, it shall be accompanied by a refund of the excess to Tenant or at Landlord’s option the excess shall be credited against the next monthly installment of rent. If the statement shows an amount due from Tenant that is more than the estimated payments previously paid by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord, as additional rent, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the statement. Any payment with respect to any partial calendar year in which the Term commences or ends shall be prorated.

6.03 Tenant’s Taxes. Tenant shall be responsible to pay before delinquency all franchise taxes, assessments, levies or charges measured by or based in whole or in part upon the rents payable hereunder or gross receipts of Tenant and all sales taxes and other taxes imposed upon or assessed by reason of the rents and other charges payable hereunder. The Florida sales tax imposed on rent and on other charges payable hereunder shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord with the payment of Tenant’s rental payments and other charges payable hereunder.

ARTICLE 7: OPERATING COSTS

7.01 Definition of Operating Costs. The term “Operating Costs” shall mean all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord or on Landlord’s behalf in connection with the ownership, leasing, management, repair, replacement, remodeling, maintenance and operation of the Building and the Development (including, without limitation, the costs of maintaining and repairing parking lots, parking structures, and easements, landscaping costs, property management fees, utility and janitorial costs, Radice Corporate Association fees and assessments and the Building’s share of costs of the Development), except the following:

(i) costs of alterations of tenants’ premises;

(ii) costs of capital improvements and costs of curing construction defects:

(iii) depreciation;

(iv) interest and principal payments on mortgages, and other debt costs (but any cost due to an increase in the interest rate over the initial rate on the original long term first lien mortgage shall be included);

(v) real estate brokers’ leasing commissions or compensation;

(vi) any cost or expenditure for which Landlord is reimbursed, whether by insurance proceeds or otherwise; and

(vii) cost of any service furnished to any other occupant of the Building which Landlord does not provide to Tenant hereunder.

7.02 Taxes: Landlord shall pay all taxes applicable to the Property which are payable during the Lease Term. As used herein, the term “taxes” shall mean real estate taxes, assessments (whether general


or special), sewer rents, rates and charges, transit and transit district taxes, taxes based upon the receipt of Rent or other payments hereunder, and any other federal, state or local governmental charge, general, special, ordinary or extraordinary (but not including income or franchise taxes or any other taxes imposed upon or measured by Landlord’s income or profits, except as provided herein), which may now or hereafter be levied, assessed or imposed against the Property or Premises (“Taxes”). Additionally, Landlord shall have no obligation to protest Taxes, but if Landlord does protest Taxes, the cost of such protest shall also be deemed Taxes. If at any time during the term of this lease, the present method of taxation shall be changed so that in lieu of the whole or any part of any taxes, assessments or governmental charges levied, assessed or imposed on real estate and the improvements thereon, there shall be levied, assessed or imposed on Landlord a capital levy or other tax directly on the rents received therefrom and/ or a franchise tax, assessment, levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon such rents for the present or any future building or buildings on the premises, then all such taxes, assessments, levies or charges, or the part thereof so measured or based, shall be deemed to be included within the term “taxes” for the purposes hereof.

7.03 Insurance: Landlord shall provide insurance for the Property as set forth in Article 15.01(a). Should Landlord choose to self-insure, the cost of maintaining such self insurance shall be considered a part of Insurance. In no event will the cost exceed the cost of maintaining first dollar coverage

7.04 Other Operating Costs: Landlord shall provide for the following as they relate to the Property and the Premises:

(1) trash removal;

(2) landscaping;

(3) property management;

(4) all other labor costs, supply costs and other costs or services of any kind or nature deemed necessary or prudent by Landlord; and

(5) the maintenance, repair and/or replacement of the Property and improvements as follows:

(a) the roof;

(b) all interior and exterior components of the Property and improvements both structural or otherwise;

(c) parking lot,

(d) sidewalks, alleys and any and all access drives, including the removal of snow and ice therefrom;

(e) heating and air conditioning equipment, lines and fixtures;

(f) plumbing equipment, lines and fixtures, including but not limited to fire sprinkler and fire control systems (if any);

(g) electrical equipment, lines and fixtures;

(h) all other utility equipment, lines and fixtures;

(i) all ingress-egress doors to the Property;

(j) exterior plate glass;

(k) elevator equipment, lines and fixtures (if any); and

(l) any and all other maintenance, repairs and/or replacements to the Property and improvements deemed necessary or prudent by Landlord during the Lease Term.

(m) Daily janitorial services to the premises and common areas

7.05 Utilities: Landlord shall pay all utility bills incurred including but not limited to water, gas, electricity, fuel, light, heat and power bills, for the Building. In the event Tenant requests and Landlord provides any of the foregoing services or any other services to Tenant at times outside normal working hours (any time other than 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Saturday, specifically excluding Sundays and Holidays), then Landlord shall have the right to bill Tenant and Tenant agrees to pay for such additional services. For purposes of this provision”, “Holidays” shall include New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to furnish, or for any loss, injury or damage caused by or resulting from any variation, interruption or failure of utility services.

7.06 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, depreciation of any capital improvements which are intended to reduce Operating Costs, or are required under any governmental laws, regulations or ordinances which were not applicable to the Building or the Development at the time it was constructed, or are recommended by the N.F.P.A. Life Safety Code, shall be included in Operating Costs. The useful life of any such improvement shall be reasonably determined by Landlord. In addition, interest on the undepreciated cost of any such improvement (at the prevailing construction loan rate available to Landlord on the date the cost of such improvement was incurred) shall also be included in Operating Costs. If Landlord selects the accrual method of accounting rather than the cash accounting method for Operating Costs purposes, Operating Costs shall be deemed to have been paid when such expenses have accrued. Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time to time to elect, which election shall be subject to revocation, to exclude that portion of Operating Costs attributable to any separately assessed part of the Development and any separate building within the Development. During any period that Operating Costs attributable to any separately assessed part of the Development and/or separate building are so excluded from Operating Costs, then for the purposes of calculating Tenant’s proportionate share of Operating Costs as provided in Article 8, the denominator shall not include the rentable area of such separately assessed part of the Development and/or such separate building. In the event Landlord elects to self insure, insure with a deductible in excess of $1,000 or obtain insurance


coverage in which the premium fluctuates in proportion to losses incurred, then Landlord shall estimate the amount of premium that Landlord would have been required to pay to obtain insurance coverage (or insurance coverage without such provision) with a recognized carrier and such estimated amount shall be deemed to be an Operating Cost. Landlord may, in a reasonable manner, allocate insurance premiums for so-called “blanket” insurance policies which insure other properties as well as the Development and said allocated amount shall be deemed to be an Operating Cost.

7.07 Additional Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the estimate for Tenant’s Proportionate Share in equal monthly installments at the same time and place as Rent is to be paid. Landlord will furnish a statement of the actual Tenant’s Share no later than April 1 of each year during the Lease Term, including the year following the year in which the Lease expires or is otherwise terminated. In the event that Landlord is, for any reason, unable to furnish the statement of the actual Tenant’s Share within the time specified above, Landlord will furnish such statement as soon thereafter as practicable with the same force and effect as the statement would have had if delivered within the time specified above. Tenant will pay to Landlord any deficiency as shown by such statement within thirty (30) days of receipt of such statement. Provided Tenant is not in default of this Lease, Landlord will refund to Tenant any excess as shown by such statement within thirty (30) days of the date of the statement. Landlord will keep books and records showing the Operating Costs in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles In the event Landlord furnishes any utility or service which is included in Operating Costs to less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the rentable area of the Property because (i) the average occupancy of the Property for the year in question was not equal to or greater than ninety-five percent (95%), (ii) such utility or service is not required by or provided to one or more of the tenants of the Property, or (iii) any tenant occupant is itself obtaining or providing any such utility or services, then Operating Costs for such year shall be adjusted to include all additional costs, expenses and disbursements that Landlord reasonably determines would have been incurred if Landlord had provided such utilities and services to all tenants of the Property, and shall be allocated among the tenants by the Landlord to reflect those costs which would have occurred had the Property been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during the year in question and such utilities and services provided to all tenants. The intent of this section is to ensure that the reimbursement of Operating Costs is fairly and equitably allocated among the tenants receiving the utilities and services in question To the extent the Property is part of a larger project or development, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to allocate to the Property an appropriate portion of those Operating Costs which are incurred with respect to the project as a whole. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that certain of the costs of management, operation and maintenance of the Development may be allocated among all of the buildings in the Development using methods of allocation that are considered reasonable and appropriate for the circumstances.

20.01 Events of Default. The following events shall be deemed to be events of default by Tenant under this Lease.

(a) Tenant shall fail to pay when or before due any sum of money becoming due to be paid to Landlord hereunder, whether such sum be any installment of the rent herein reserved, any other amount treated as additional rent hereunder, or any other payment or reimbursement to Landlord required herein, whether or not treated as additional rent hereunder, and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) business days from the date such payment was due; Tenant receives written notice of such failure to pay. However, in the event Landlord sends two written notices to Tenant for failure to timely pay rent during the term of this lease, all further notices for failure to timely pay rent shall contain only a three (3) day grace period and Tenant shall be deemed to be in default after three (3) days written notice;

(b) Tenant shall fail to comply with any term, provision or covenant of this Lease other than by failing to pay when or before due any sum of money becoming due to be paid to Landlord hereunder, and shall not cure such failure within twenty (20) days (forthwith, if the default involves a hazardous condition) after written notice thereof to Tenant; or

(d) Tenant shall fail to immediately vacate the Premises upon termination of this Lease, by lapse of time or otherwise or upon termination of Tenant’s right to possession only; or

(e) The leasehold interest of Tenant shall be levied upon under execution or be attached by process of law or Tenant shall fail to contest diligently the validity of any lien or claimed lien and give sufficient security to Landlord to insure payment thereof or shall fail to satisfy any judgment rendered thereon and have the same released, and such default shall continue for ten (10) days after written notice thereof to Tenant; or

(f) Tenant shall become insolvent, admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition in bankruptcy or a petition to take advantage of any insolvency statute, make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, make a transfer in fraud of creditors, apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver of itself or of the whole or any substantial part of its property, or file a petition or answer seeking reorganization or arrangement under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now in effect or hereafter amended, or any other applicable law or statute of the United States or any state thereof; or

(g) A court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an order, judgment or decree adjudicating Tenant a bankrupt, or appointing a receiver of Tenant, or of the whole or any substantial part of its property, without the consent of Tenant, or approving a petition filed against Tenant seeking reorganization or arrangement of Tenant under the bankruptcy laws of the United States, as now in effect or hereafter amended, or any state thereof, and such order, judgment or decree shall not be vacated or set aside or stayed within thirty (30) days from the date of entry thereof.

20.02 Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence of any uncured events of default described in Section 20.01 hereof or elsewhere in this Lease, and subject to Tenants cure provisions contained herein or provided for by law, Landlord shall have the option to pursue anyone or more of the following remedies:

(i) Landlord may, at its election, terminate this Lease or terminate Tenant’s right to possession only, without terminating the Lease;

(ii) Upon any termination of this Lease, or upon any termination of Tenant’s right to possession without termination of the Lease. Tenant shall surrender possession and vacate the Premises immediately, and deliver possession thereof to Landlord, and Tenant hereby grants to Landlord full and free license to enter into and upon the Premises in such event with or without process of law and to repossess Landlord of the Premises as of Landlord’s former estate and to expel or remove Tenant and any others who may be occupying or within the Premises and to remove any and all property therefrom, without being deemed in any manner guilty of trespass, eviction or forcible entry or detainer, and without incurring any liability for any damage resulting therefrom, Tenant hereby waiving any right to claim damage for such re-entry and expulsion, and without relinquishing Landlord’s right to rent or any other right given to Landlord hereunder or by operation of law;

(iii) Upon any termination of this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to recover as damages, all rent, including any amounts treated as additional rent hereunder, and other sums due and payable by Tenant on the date of termination, plus the sum of (x) an amount equal to the then present value of the rent, including any amounts treated as additional rent hereunder, and other sums provided herein to be paid by Tenant for the residue of the stated Term, less the fair rental value of the Premises for such residue (taking into account the time and expense necessary to obtain a replacement tenant or tenants, including expenses hereinafter described in subsection

(iv) Relating to recovery of the Premises, preparation for reletting and for reletting itself), which the parties agree shall in no event exceed sixty percent (60%) of the then present value of the rent for the period and (y) the cost of performing any other covenants which would have otherwise been performed by Tenant) Landlord, in addition to all rights and remedies provided in the Lease, may declare the entire


amount of the Annual Base Rental which would have become due and payable during the remainder of the Term of this Lease, as adjusted from time to time, to be due and payable immediately, along with the Additional Rent as defined in the Lease due for the remainder of the term of the Lease. The projected operating costs due for the remainder of the lease term, shall be actual operating costs due for the year of the default, multiplied by the remaining term of the Lease. Tenant agrees to pay the accelerated annual base rent, and additional rent charges to Landlord at once, it being agreed that such payment shall constitute payment in advance of the rent stipulated for the remainder of the Term. In the event Landlord collects the accelerated rent from Tenant, Tenant shall be credited for rents received if the premises are relet. It is expressly understood that Landlord shall have no obligation to relet the Demised Premises. The acceptance by Landlord of the payment of the accelerated rent shall not constitute a waiver of any default then existing or thereafter occurring hereunder.

(v) In the event Landlord elects to repossess the Premises by eviction proceedings or otherwise, he may do so with or without terminating this Lease, and shall have the option of accelerating the annual base rent and additional rent charges as set forth herein, in addition to pursuing any of the other remedies set forth in the Lease or permitted by law.

(vi) Upon any termination of Tenant’s right to possession only without termination of the Lease

(A) Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, enter into the Premises, remove Tenant’s signs and other evidences of tenancy, and take and hold possession thereof as provided in subsection (ii) above, without such entry and possession terminating the Lease or releasing Tenant, in whole or in part, from any obligation, including Tenant’s obligation to pay the rent, including any amounts treated as additional rent, hereunder for the full Term. In any such case Tenant shall pay forthwith to Landlord if Landlord so elects, a sum equal to the entire amount of the rent, including any amounts treated as additional rent hereunder, for the residue of the stated Term plus any other sums provided herein to be paid by Tenant for the remainder of the Term.

(B) Landlord may, but need not, relet the Premises or any part thereof for such rent and upon such terms as Landlord, in its sole discretion, shall determine (including the right to relet the Premises for a greater or lesser term than that remaining under this Lease, the right to relet the Premises as a part of a larger area, and the right to change the character or use made of the Premises). If Landlord decides to relet the Premises or a duty to relet is imposed upon Landlord by law, Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord shall only be required to use the same efforts Landlord then uses to lease other properties Landlord owns or manages (or if the Premises is then managed for Landlord, then Landlord will instruct such manager to use the same efforts such manager then uses to lease other space or properties which it owns or manages); provided, however, that Landlord (or its manager) shall not be required to give any preference or priority to the showing or leasing of the Premises over any other space that Landlord (or its manager) may be leasing or have available and may place a suitable prospective tenant in any such available space regardless of when such alternative space becomes available; provided, further, that Landlord shall not be required to observe any instruction given by Tenant about such reletting or accept any tenant offered by Tenant unless such offered tenant has a creditworthiness acceptable to Landlord, leases the entire Premises, agrees to use the Premises in a manner consistent with the Lease and leases the Premises at the same rent, for no more than the current term and on the same other terms and conditions as in this Lease without the expenditure by Landlord for tenant improvements or broker’s commissions. In any such case, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, make repairs, alterations and additions in or to the Premises and redecorate the same to the extent Landlord deems necessary or desirable, and Tenant shall, upon demand, pay the cost thereof, together with Landlord’s expenses of reletting, including, without limitation, any broker’s commission incurred by Landlord. If the consideration collected by Landlord upon any such reletting plus any sums previously collected from Tenant are not sufficient to pay the full amount of all rent, including any amounts treated as additional rent hereunder and other sums reserved in this Lease for the remaining portion of the Term, together with the costs of repairs, alterations, additions, redecorating, and Landlord’s expenses of reletting and the collection of the rent accruing therefrom (including attorney’s fees and broker’s commissions), Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such deficiency upon demand and Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums falling due under this subsection from time to time;

(vii) Any and all property which may be removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the authority of the Lease or of law, to which Tenant is or may be entitled, may be handled, removed and stored, as the case may be, by or at the direction of Landlord at the risk, cost and expense of Tenant, and Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, any and all expenses incurred in such removal and all storage charges against such property so long as the same shall be in Landlord’s possession or under Landlord’s control. Any such property of Tenant not retaken by Tenant from storage within thirty (30) days after the removal from the Premises shall conclusively be presumed to have been conveyed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease as a bill of sale without further payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant.

(viii) In the event Tenant fails to pay any installment of rent, including any amount treated as additional rent hereunder, or other sums hereunder as and when such installment or other charge is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a late charge in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such installment or other charge overdue in any month and five percent (5%) each month thereafter until paid in full to help defray the additional cost to Landlord for processing such late payments, and such late


charge shall be additional rent hereunder and the failure to pay such late charge within ten ( 10) days after demand therefore shall be an additional event of default hereunder. In the event Tenant fails to cure a non-monetary default within the time period set forth in Article 20.01(b) Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a late charge of $250.00 per occurrence to help defray the additional cost to Landlord for processing such default. Failure to pay such late charge shall be an additional default hereunder. The provision for such late charge shall be in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord’s remedies in any manner.

(ix) Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any of the other remedies herein provided or any other remedies provided by law (all such remedies being cumulative), nor shall pursuit of any remedy herein provided constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any rent due to Landlord hereunder or of any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained. No act or thing done by Landlord or its agents during the Term shall be deemed a termination of this Lease or an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to terminate this Lease or accept a surrender of said Premises shall be valid unless in writing signed by Landlord. No waiver by Landlord of any violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained. Landlord’s acceptance of the payment of rental or other payments hereunder after the occurrence of an event of default shall not be construed as a waiver of such default, unless Landlord so notifies Tenant in writing. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an event of default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default or of Landlord’s right to enforce any such remedies with respect to such default or any subsequent default. If, on account of any breach or default by Tenant in Tenant’s obligations under the terms and conditions of this Lease, it shall become necessary or appropriate for Landlord to employ or consult with an attorney concerning or to enforce or defend any of Landlord’s rights or remedies hereunder, Tenant agrees to pay any attorney’s fees so incurred.

ARTICLE 21: RIGHTS RESERVED TO LANDLORD

21.01 Rights Reserved to Landlord. Landlord reserves and may exercise the following rights without affecting Tenant’s obligations hereunder:

(g) To take any and all measures, including inspections, repairs, alterations, decorations, additions, and improvements to the Premises or the Building, and identification and admittance procedures for access to the Building as may be necessary or desirable for the safety, protection, preservation or security of the Premises or the Building or the Landlord’s interest, or as may be necessary or desirable in the operation of the Building; and

(h) To change the arrangement and/or location of entrances and corridors in and to the Building and to add, remove or modify buildings, roadways, parking areas, walkways, landscaping, lakes, grading and other improvements in or to the Development.

ARTICLE 25: SUBORDINATION

25.01 Subordination. Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage and/or deed of trust now or at any time hereafter constituting a lien or charge upon the Development, the Building, or the Premises without the necessity of any act or execution of any additional instrument of subordination; provided, however, that if the mortgagee, trustee. or holder of any such mortgage or deed of trust elects to have Tenant’s interest in this Lease superior to any such instrument, then by notice to Tenant from such mortgagee, trustee or holder, this Lease shall be deemed superior to such lien, whether this Lease was executed before or after said mortgage or deed of trust. Tenant shall at any time hereafter on demand execute any instruments, releases or other documents which may be required by any mortgagee for the purpose of evidencing the subjection and subordination of this Lease to the lien of any such mortgage or for the purpose of evidencing the superiority of this Lease to the lien of any such mortgage, as may be the case.

ARTICLE 26: MECHANICS’ AND OTHER LIENS.

26.01 Mechanics and Other Liens. Tenant shall have no authority, express or implied to create or place any lien or encumbrance of any kind or nature whatsoever upon, or in any manner to bind, the interest of Landlord in the Premises or to charge the rentals payable hereunder for any claim in favor of any person dealing with Tenant, including those who may furnish materials or perform labor for any construction or repairs, and each such claim shall affect and each such lien shall attach to, if at all, only the leasehold interest granted to Tenant by this instrument. Tenant covenants and agrees that it will pay or cause to be paid all sums legally due and payable by it on account of any labor performed or materials furnished in connection with any work performed on the Premises on which any lien is or can be validly and legally asserted against its leasehold interest in the Premises or the improvements thereon and that it will save and hold Landlord harmless from any and all loss, cost or expense based on or arising out of asserted claims or liens against the leasehold estate or against the right, title and interest of Landlord in the Premises or under the terms of this Lease. Tenant will not permit any mechanic’s lien or liens or any other liens which may be imposed by law affecting Landlord’s or its mortgagees’ interest in the Development to be placed upon the Development, and in case of the filing of any such lien Tenant will promptly pay same. If any such lien shall remain in force and effect for twenty (20) days after written notice thereof, Landlord shall have the right and privilege at Landlord’s option of paying and discharging the same or any portion thereof without inquiry as to the validity thereof, and any amounts so paid, including expenses and interest, shall be so much additional indebtedness hereunder due from Tenant to Landlord and shall be repaid to Landlord immediately on rendition of a bill therefore. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to contest any such lien in good faith and with all due diligence so long as any such contest, or action taken in connection therewith, protects the interest of Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagee in the Premises and Landlord and any such mortgagee are, by the expiration of said twenty (20) day period, furnished such protection and indemnification against any loss, cost or expense related to any such Lien and the contest thereof as are satisfactory to Landlord and any such mortgagee. Tenant shall notify all potential lienors with which it deals of the contents of this Section 26.01.
