WHEREAS, Landlord is the owner of certain real property and improvements comprising a corporate campus located at 601 Riverside Drive, in the city of Jacksonville, county of Duval, state of Florida; and WHEREAS, Landlord previously entered into a Lease Agreement dated as of January 1, 2005 (the "FNF Lease") with Fidelity National Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("FNF"), for the leasing to FNF of a portion of Landlord's real property and improvements; and WHEREAS, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement of even date herewith between FNF and Tenant, Tenant has assumed, with the consent of Landlord, all of FNF's rights and obligations under the FNF Lease; and WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant wish to enter into a novation of the rights and obligations under the FNF Lease, as assumed by and assigned to Tenant, so that Tenant is the clear party in interest in the leasing of the applicable portion of Landlord's real property and improvements as more particularly described herein; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, conditions and promises set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows: 1. PREMISES. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant 121,076 rentable square feet of office space located on the ground floor, 4th, 10th, 11th and 12th floors of the 13-story office building located at 601 Riverside Avenue, Jacksonville, Florida and 218 rentable square feet of space in the building designated as Building 2 located at 601 Riverside Avenue, Jacksonville, Florida (collectively, the "Premises"). The parties acknowledge that the buildings in which the Premises are located are two of several buildings comprising a corporate campus at 601 Riverside Avenue, Jacksonville, Florida (the "Corporate Campus"). The parties further acknowledge and agree that, initially hereunder, the Premises constitutes 25% ("Tenant's Share") of the 484,586 rentable square feet of space at the corporate campus and for the purposes of this Lease, the term "Buildings" shall be deemed the entire corporate campus and not just the buildings in which the Premises are located. The parties understand and acknowledge that Tenant's Share may by mutual agreement increase or decrease from time to time during the term of this Lease, in which case the parties shall execute and deliver amendment(s) hereto memorializing corresponding changes in (i) rentable square footage of the Premises, (ii) Tenant's Share and (iii) monthly Base Rent. 2. TERM. The initial term of this Lease shall be for three (3) years commencing January 1, 2005 ("Commencement Date") and terminating on December 31, 2007 ("Initial Term"). 1 3. RENT. 3.1 BASE RENT. Tenant shall pay to Landlord base rent ("Base Rent"), at an annual rate of $23.05 per rentable square foot, in equal monthly installments of $232,566.81 without prior notice or demand, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month at such place as Landlord may direct, in writing. If the Term commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on or before the Commencement Date of the Term, a pro rata portion of the monthly installment of Base Rent, such pro rata portion to be based on the actual number of calendar days remaining in such partial month after the Commencement Date of the Term. If the Term shall expire on other than the last day of a calendar month, such monthly installment of Base Rent shall be prorated for each calendar day of such partial month. If any portion of Base Rent or other sum payable to Landlord hereunder shall be due and unpaid for more than fifteen (15) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant that such payment has not been received, it shall thereafter bear interest at a rate equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum (the "Default Rate"). 3.2 ADDITIONAL RENT. In addition to paying Base Rent, for each calendar year commencing with calendar year 2005, Tenant shall pay as additional rent ("Additional Rent" and, together with Base Rent, collectively, the "Rent") Tenant's Share of Landlord's reasonable estimate of operating expenses for the entire Buildings ("Operating Expenses") that are in excess of the Operating Expenses applicable to the 2004 base year (the "Base Year"), which for the purposes of this Lease, the Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses in the Base Year are $23.05 per rentable square foot per year. Landlord reasonably estimates Tenant's Additional Rent for the calendar year 2005 is $5.44 per rentable square foot or $54,887.79 per month, which when combined with the Base Rent shall result in a monthly Rent payment of $287,454.60, which is equal to $28.49 per rentable square foot for 2005. Commencing January 1, 2005, and otherwise as set forth herein, Tenant shall pay Additional Rent at the same times and in the same manner as Base Rent. Landlord shall adjust Additional Rent on an annual basis in 2006 and 2007 based on the same above principles. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for the entire cost (as opposed to Tenant's Share) of Landlord's costs of providing any services or materials exclusively to Tenant. 3.2.1 Calculation and Payment. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant on or before the first day of March following the end of each year following the Base Year (an "Expense Year") a statement setting forth (i) the amount Tenant paid as Rent for the applicable Expense Year, and (ii) the actual amount of Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses for the applicable Expense Year. If the amount Tenant paid as Rent for the applicable Expense Year exceeds the actual amount of Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses for the applicable Expense Year, then Landlord shall credit such difference on Tenant's next payment(s) of Rent. If the amount Tenant paid as Rent for the applicable Expense Year was less than the actual amount of Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses for the applicable Expense Year, then Tenant shall pay such difference as Additional Rent to Landlord on Tenant's next payment of Rent. Landlord's failure to furnish such statement for any Expense Year in a timely manner shall not prejudice Landlord from enforcing its rights hereunder. Even if the Lease term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, if an excess or shortfall exists when the final determination is made, Tenant shall immediately pay or receive a credit of such excess or shortfall. 2 3.2.2 Items Included in Operating Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the term "Operating Expenses" includes all expenses, costs, and amounts of every kind that Landlord pays or incurs during any Expense Year because of or in connection with the ownership, operation, management, maintenance, or repair of the Buildings, including: 3.2.2.1 Tax expenses (except for excess profits taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, federal and state income taxes, and other taxes applied or measured by Landlord's general or net income; 3.2.2.2 The cost of supplying utilities; 3.2.2.3 The cost of operating, managing, maintaining, and repairing utility, mechanical, sanitary, storm drainage, and elevators; 3.2.2.4 The cost of supplies and tools and of equipment, maintenance, and service contracts in connection with those systems; 3.2.2.5 The cost of providing telephone-related telecommunications services and equipment; 3.2.2.6 The cost of providing mail delivery services; 3.2.2.7 The cost of landscaping; 3.2.2.8 The cost of licenses, certificates, permits and inspections; 3.2.2.9 The cost of contesting the validity or applicability of government enactments that may affect the Operating Expenses; 3.2.2.10 The costs incurred in connection with the implementation and operation of a transportation program; 3.2.2.11 The cost of insurance carried by Landlord in amounts reasonably determined by Landlord; 3.2.2.12 The cost of parking area maintenance, repair, and restoration, including resurfacing, repainting, restriping, and cleaning; 3.2.2.13 The cost of providing security in and around the Buildings, including but not limited to the installation, operation, and maintenance of security equipment and the wages, salaries, and other compensation and benefits of all persons engaged in providing security in and around the Buildings; 3.2.2.14 The cost of building depreciation and common area furniture, fixtures, and equipment amortized over the useful life of such items including, but not limited to, such items located in the lobbies of the Building and the corporate gym and cafeteria located on the ground floor of the Building; and 3 3.2.2.15 Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2.3, below, the cost of items considered capital repairs, replacements, improvements and equipment under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied or otherwise ("Capital Items") amortized over the useful life of such items, including financing costs, if any, incurred by Landlord after the effective date of the Lease for any capital improvements installed or paid for by Landlord. 3.2.2.16 Any other costs of the Landlord included in the calculation of Operating Expenses for that calendar year and not otherwise specifically identified herein. 3.2.3 Items Excluded from Operating Expenses.

Certificates of all policies of insurance shall be delivered to the party requesting the certificates or parties designated by the party requesting the certificates upon written request. 7.2 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Both Tenant and Landlord agree to seek a waiver of subrogation clause from their respective insurers which establishes a waiver of the insurer's subrogation against Landlord or Tenant as the case may be for any property loss (real/personal property or improvements/betterments) caused by the other.

Subject to Tenant's obligations to pay Tenant's Share of the cost Landlord incurs in supplying utilities to the common areas, Tenant shall pay all utility expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with Tenant's use of the Premises (collectively, "Tenant's Utility Expenses"). In the event utility service is interrupted to the Premises due to the need for maintenance and repair to the utility lines, Landlord shall immediately commence restoration and repairs of the lines and conduits in order that said utility service shall be resumed at the earliest possible time. If Landlord shall fail to make such repairs after written notice from Tenant, 6 Tenant may do so at Landlord's expense. Additionally, should there be an interruption in the utilities for more than 24 hours due to the Landlord's gross negligence, rent shall be abated until the utilities are restored. 9. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. Structural portions of the Premises, including the roof, foundation, exterior walls and load bearing interior walls, shall be maintained and repaired by Landlord except to the extent repairs are made necessary by the acts of Tenant. Except for the repairs and maintenance Landlord is specifically obligated to make under this Section, Tenant shall maintain and keep the entire Premises including all partitions, doors, ceiling, fixtures, equipment and appurtenances thereof in good order, condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted at the sole expense of Tenant. To the extent an HVAC system serves the Premises exclusively, Tenant shall be responsible for maintaining an HVAC service contract for routine filter changing and general upkeep. Landlord may disapprove the contractor, provided however, its approval may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 10. COMMON AREA MAINTENANCE. Landlord shall keep the common area in good repair during the term or extension thereof, reasonable wear and tear excepted. 11. ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS. Tenant shall have the right at any time throughout the term of this Lease and any extensions hereof, to make or cause to be made, any alterations, additions, or improvements, or install or cause to be installed any trade fixture, signs, floor covering, interior or exterior painting or lighting, plumbing fixtures, shades or awnings, as Tenant may deem necessary or suitable with Landlord's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon the expiration of the Initial Term of this Lease, Tenant shall have the option to remove such alterations, decorations, additions or improvements made by it, provided any damage to Premises resulting from such removal is repaired. Also, upon the expiration of the Initial Term of this Lease, Tenant if requested by Landlord shall remove any signs and repair any damages to the Premises resulting from such removal. During the term, Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions, improvements, non-cosmetic changes or other material changes to the Premises without the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be permitted to make Minor Alterations (as defined below) without Landlord's prior written consent. Minor Alterations, as used herein, shall be defined as any alterations, improvements, etc. made to the Premises (excluding the facade thereof) which do not affect the structure of the Building, their systems or equipment. If Landlord approves any alterations, additions, improvements, etc., Landlord shall notify Tenant, in writing, along with Landlord's approval notice, of whether Tenant shall, upon termination of this Lease, either: (i) remove any such alterations or additions and repair any damage to the Buildings or the Premises occasioned by their installation or removal and restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as existed prior to the time when any such alterations or additions were made, or (ii) reimburse Landlord for the cost of removing such alterations or additions and the restoration of the Premises. 12. FIRE OR CASUALTY. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises or the use, occupancy or access to or of the Premises shall be destroyed in whole or in part by fire or other casualty, Tenant may in its reasonable discretion terminate this Lease. If less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises shall be destroyed in whole or in part by fire or casualty, the Rent 7 due during the remainder of the Lease term shall be reduced in proportion to the area destroyed, effective on the date of the casualty. Within thirty (30) days after the date of a fire or other casualty, Landlord must inform Tenant if the Premises and the office buildings will be rebuilt. If the Premises is to be rebuilt and Tenant elects not to terminate the Lease, the Premises and office buildings must be rebuilt and ready for occupancy within ninety (90) days of date of fire or other casualty. Landlord and Tenant agree and covenant that neither shall be liable to the other for loss arising out of damage to or destruction of the Premises or contents thereof when such loss is caused by any perils included within, and covered by, standard fire and extended coverage insurance policy of the state of Florida. This agreement shall be binding whether or not such damage or destruction be caused by negligence of either party or their agents, employees or visitors. Landlord agrees to carry fire and extended coverage to the extent required by its lender, and if there is no lender, in an amount satisfactory to Landlord. 13. EMINENT DOMAIN. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises (or the use, occupancy or access to or of the Premises) shall be taken or condemned by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose (including sale under threat of such a taking), or if the owner elects to convey title to the condemnor by a deed in lieu of condemnation, then Tenant may in its discretion terminate the Lease and be relieved from further liability hereunder. If less than twenty -five percent (25%) of the Premises (or the use, occupancy or access to or of the Premises) shall be taken or condemned by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose (including sale under threat of such a taking), or if Tenant elects not to terminate this Lease, the Rent due during the remainder of the Lease term shall be reduced in proportion to the area taken, effective on the date physical possession is taken by the condemning authority; provided, however, that in the event Tenant cannot reasonably operate its business at the Premises due to such partial taking, Tenant shall be permitted to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord. 14. TENANT'S DEFAULT. 14.1 Any other provisions in this Lease notwithstanding, it shall be an event of default ("Event of Default") under this Lease if: (i) Tenant fails to pay any installment of rent or any other sum payable by Tenant hereunder when due and such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant that such payment has not been received, or (ii) Tenant fails to observe or perform any other material covenant or agreement of Tenant herein contained and such failure continues after written notice given by or on behalf of Landlord to Tenant for more than thirty (30) days, provided, however, that if such non-monetary Event of Default by Tenant cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, and provided further that Tenant is proceeding with due diligence to effect a cure of said Event of Default, no Event of Default hereunder shall be declared by Landlord if Tenant continues to proceed with diligence to cure said Event of Default, but in no event shall such cure period extend beyond ninety (90) days following notice from Landlord of such violation, default or breach, or (iii) Tenant files a petition commencing a voluntary case, or has filed against it a petition commencing an involuntary case, under the Federal Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code), as now or hereafter in effect, or under any similar law, or files or has filed against it a petition or answer in bankruptcy or for reorganization or for an arrangement pursuant to any state bankruptcy law or any similar state law, and, in the case of any such involuntary action, such action shall not be dismissed, discharged or denied within sixty (60) days after the 8 filing thereof, or Tenant consents or acquiesces in the filing thereof, or (iv) a custodian, receiver, trustee or liquidator of Tenant or of all or substantially all of Tenant's property or of the Premises shall be appointed in any proceedings brought by or against Tenant and, in the latter case, such entity shall not be discharged within sixty (60) days after such appointment or Tenant consents to or acquiesces in such appointment, or (v) Tenant shall generally not pay Tenant's debts as such debts become due, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due. The notice and grace period provisions in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall have no application to the Events of Default referred to in clauses (iii) through (v) above. 14.2 If Tenant shall fail to make any payment of rent when due or if Tenant shall fail to keep and perform any express written covenant of this Lease and shall continue in default for a period of ten (10) days after Tenant has received written notice of such default and demand of performance from Landlord, Landlord may commence judicial proceedings, provided, however, if any default shall occur (other than in the payment of rent) which cannot be cured within a period of thirty (30) days and Tenant, prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days from and after the giving of notice as aforesaid, commences to eliminate such default and proceeds diligently to take steps to cure the same, Landlord shall not have the right to declare the term ended by reason thereof for an additional period of sixty (60) days. 14.3 In the event of any such Event of Default, Landlord at any time thereafter may at its option exercise any remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, including, without limitation, one or more of the following remedies: (i) Termination of Lease. Landlord may terminate this Lease, by written notice to Tenant, without any right by Tenant to reinstate its rights by payment of rent due or other performance of the terms and conditions hereof. Upon such termination Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord, and Landlord shall immediately become entitled to receive from Tenant an amount equal to the difference between the aggregate of all rent reserved under this Lease for the balance of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, and the fair rental value of the Premises for that period, determined as of the date of such termination, and reduced by the amount Landlord may obtain upon reletting, discounted to present value at the rate of ten percent (10%). (ii) Reletting. With or without terminating this Lease, as Landlord may elect, Landlord may, by summary proceedings, re-enter and repossess the Premises, or any part thereof, and lease them to any other person upon such terms as Landlord shall deem reasonable, for a term within or beyond the term of this Lease; provided, that any such reletting prior to termination shall be for the account of Tenant, and Tenant shall remain liable for (i) all rent and other sums which would be payable under this Lease by Tenant in the absence of such expiration, termination or repossession, less (ii) the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting effected for the account of Tenant after deducting from such proceeds all of Landlord's actual expenses, attorneys' fees, employees' expenses, reasonable alteration costs, expenses of preparation for such reletting and all other actual costs and expenses incurred as a result of Tenant's breach of this Lease. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises. If the Premises are at the time of default sublet or leased by Tenant to others, Landlord may, as Tenant's agent, collect rents due from any subtenant or other tenant and apply such rents to the 9 rent and other amounts due hereunder without in any way affecting Tenant's obligation to Landlord hereunder. (iii) Injunction. In the event of breach by either party of any provision of this Lease, the other party shall have the right of injunction and the right to invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity in addition to other remedies provided for herein. (iv) No Exclusive Right. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord or Tenant is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy herein or by law provided, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy given herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. (v) Expenses. In the event that either Landlord or Tenant exercises any of the remedies provided herein, the wrongful party shall pay to the other all actual expenses incurred in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys' fees. 15. LANDLORD'S DEFAULT. If Landlord shall be in default or shall fail or refuse to perform or comply with any of his obligations under this Lease and shall continue in default for a period of thirty (30) days after Tenant has given Landlord written notice of such default and demand of performance, Tenant may remedy the same and deduct the cost thereof from subsequent installments of rent or terminate the Lease and recover from Landlord any and all damages Tenant may have incurred due to such default or failure. Upon any default by Landlord under this Lease, Tenant may, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease to the contrary, exercise any of its rights provided at law or in equity. 16. ASSIGNMENT AND SUB-LETTING. Tenant shall not have the right to assign, sublet, transfer, or encumber this Lease or its rights hereunder or any part thereof at any time without the Landlord's prior written consent, except for the Permitted Transfers (defined below). A "Permitted Transfer" means an assignment or sublet to (i) any entity controlled by, controlling, or under common control with Tenant (a "Tenant Affiliate") or a Tenant Affiliate, including without limitation FNF, or (ii) any entity with which Tenant or a Tenant Affiliate may merge or consolidate, which acquires all or substantially all of the assets or shares of stock of Tenant or a Tenant Affiliate, or (iii) any entity that is the successor in the event of a reorganization. In instances other than Permitted Transfers, Landlord agrees not to withhold or delay its written consent if to do so would be commercially unreasonable. In the event of any assignment of this Lease by Tenant, Tenant shall not be and is not relieved of any liability under any and all of its covenants and obligations contained in or derived from this Lease arising out of any act, occurrence or omission occurring after said assignment; provided, however that the Tenant's assignee assumes all obligations of Tenant hereunder and attorns to Landlord for such obligations. Landlord may assign this Lease in connection with the sale or financing of the Demised Premises provided that (i) no such assignment may impose upon Tenant any obligations greater than set forth in the Lease; and (ii) Landlord gives notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days following the effective date of the assignment which contains the assignee's name, address, telephone number, and the name of the individual handling the affairs relating to this Lease. Any rents received by Landlord hereunder, which in fact belong to the assignee of Landlord, shall be held in trust by Landlord and forwarded immediately to the assignee of Landlord. In the event of any assignment or sublease, Tenant shall remain responsible for the 10 payment of rent and for the performance of all terms, covenants and conditions undertaken by Tenant pursuant to this Lease unless otherwise agreed to by Landlord in writing. 17. HOLDING OVER. In the event Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration of the Initial Term or a Renewal Term without executing a new Lease, Tenant shall occupy the Premises from month to month at a rental rate of 150% of the applicable rental rate during the last month of the term, subject to all of the covenants of this Lease insofar as consistent with such a tenancy. The provisions of this Section 17 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. 18. SIGNAGE. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that FNF has retained and shall retain, throughout the term of the Lease, the signage rights it presently has on the exterior of the Buildings, the monument signage at Riverside Avenue, directory and suite entry signage. Landlord and Tenant agree that the only other signage that may appear on the exterior of the Buildings and on the exterior monument signage during the term hereof shall be that of Landlord, Tenant or FNF. Until such time as Landlord is a publicly traded company or experiences a change of control (i.e., another person or entity other than FNF possesses, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of Landlord, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise), any proposed change by Landlord of the monument and building signage as it exists on the Commencement Date of this Lease shall require Tenant's prior written consent, which may be withheld by Tenant in its sole and absolute discretion, and Landlord if granted such consent shall solely bear the cost of any such change. Until such time as Landlord is a publicly traded company or experiences a change of control (as defined above), Landlord agrees that it shall not, without Tenant's prior written consent (which may be withheld in Tenant's sole and absolute discretion), cause any impairment to the visibility of Tenant's existing signage, if any, or install any additional signage on the monument or any of the Buildings. Beginning within a reasonable time of prior to Landlord becoming a public company or experiencing a change of control, Landlord and Tenant shall discuss and agree upon reasonable Landlord signage rights so that as of the date that Landlord is a public company or experiences a change of control it will be able to affix its name and/or logo in one or more locations on the building and monuments in a manner that is reasonably acceptable to Tenant. 19. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Landlord and Tenant agree to indemnify and hold harmless the other from any and all claims, damages, fines, judgments, penalties, costs, liabilities or losses (including, without limitation, any and all sums paid for settlement of claims, attorneys fees, consultant and expert fees) arising during or after the lease term from or in connection with the presence or suspected presence of hazardous substances in, on or beneath the Premises, unless the hazardous substances are present as the result of negligence, willful misconduct or other acts of the party otherwise so indemnified, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees. Without limitation of the foregoing, this indemnification shall include any and all costs incurred due to any investigation by a federal, state or local agency or political subdivision, unless the hazardous substances are present solely as the result of negligence, willful misconduct or other acts of the party otherwise so indemnified, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees. This indemnification shall specifically include any and all costs due to hazardous substances which flow, diffuse, migrate or percolate into, ontoor under the Premises after the Commencement Date. Each of the parties agree to comply with all laws, codes, rules, and regulations of the 11 United States, the State of Florida. Tenant agrees that it will not store, keep, use, sell, dispose of or offer for sale in, upon or from the Premises any article or substance which may be prohibited by any insurance policy in force from time to time covering the Buildings nor shall Tenant keep, store, produce or dispose of on, in or from the Premises or the Buildings any substance which may be deemed a hazardous substance or infectious waste under any state, local or federal rule, statute, law, regulation or ordinance as may be promulgated or amended from time to time.
