NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, which shall be deemed to be incorporated herein as an integral part of this Agreement and not mere recitals hereto, and of the mutual covenants and agreements and the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, and other good and valuable consideration the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 1. TERM. (a) INITIAL AND RENEWAL TERMS. Lessee shall have the right to occupy and utilize the Leased Premises (as described in Exhibit "A") for an Initial Term commencing at 12:00 A.M. on July 1, 2003 (the "Commencement Date") and expiring June 30, 2008 (the "Initial Term"), unless this Lease is sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. This Lease will be automatically renewed for an additional term of five (5) years (the "Renewal Term"), unless at least one year prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, Lessor or Lessee shall have provided written notice to the other stating that they do not intend to renew this Lease for a Renewal Term. (b) HOLDING OVER. If Lessee or anyone claiming under Lessee shall remain in possession of the Leased Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term without any agreement in writing between the Lessor and Lessee with respect thereto, prior to acceptance of rent by Lessor, the person remaining in possession shall be deemed a tenant at sufferance, and, after acceptance of rent by Lessor, the party remaining in possession shall be deemed a tenant from month to month, subject to the provisions of this Lease. The rental during any such period shall equal to one hundred one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the rental in effect immediately preceding such expiration. 2. RENT AND OTHER PAYMENTS AND SERVICES (a) RENT. Lessee covenants and agrees to pay Lessor for the Leased Premises, monthly Rent in the amount of Sixteen Thousand, Seven Hundred Dollars and Zero Cents ($16,700.00) ("Rent"), plus applicable Florida state sales tax, for the period beginning with the month first following the Commencement Date and continuing for twelve months thereafter. Upon each successive annual anniversary date of the Commencement Date for the Initial Term the Rent to be paid by Lessee to Lessor for the following twelve-month period shall be increased by an amount determined by multiplying the Rent by the percentage increase, if any, in the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Revised All-Cities Consumer Price Index for the Tampa/St. Petersburg/Clearwater, Florida area (the "CPI") published immediately prior to each successive anniversary date over the CPI published immediately prior to the Commencement Date. In no event shall the annual Rent to be paid by Lessee during the Initial Term or any Renewal Term be less than the Rent. If the CPI ceases to exist or is substantially changed, Lessor and Lessee shall agree to substitute a similar index. (b) OPERATING EXPENSES. Lessee shall pay the following Operating Expenses: all taxes, assessments, and other governmental charges, all utility charges, all premiums on insurance policies required by the terms hereof, and all other expenses and charges which, during the term hereof, shall arise, be levied, assessed, charged or imposed upon or with respect to, or be incurred in connection with, the ownership, possession, use, occupation, operation, maintenance, repair or alteration of the Leased Premises, (excluding income taxes) it being the purpose and intent of the Lessor and the Lessee that the rent shall be absolutely net to the Lessor so that this Lease shall yield, net to Lessor, the rent specified in each year during the term hereof and all renewal terms, if any. The Lessee agrees to indemnify and save the Lessor harmless from and against all damages, liability, costs and expenses which may be incurred or sustained by Lessor by reason of the nonpayment of the additional rent by Lessee. (c) PAYMENT. All monthly payments of Rent, Operating Expenses, or other sums due Lessor hereunder shall be sent to or made at the offices of Lessor designated in Section 17 hereof, or such other place as may be designated by Lessor from time to time. Rent shall be due in advance on the first day of each month; Operating Expenses and all other sums due Lessor shall be due within twenty (20) days of receipt of Lessor's invoice. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, installments of Rent during the Initial Term shall be paid in advance in United States Dollars (without prior notice or invoice by Lessor). 2 (d) SERVICES. Lessee shall provide, as additional consideration hereunder, uplink and assembly services for one channel of Lessor's satellite delivered programming. Lessee agrees to share with Lessor, at no additional cost to Lessor, its satellite uplinking equipment located at the Leased Premises including transponder time on the satellite used by Lessee for the PAX Programming Service, unless and to the extent the sharing of such equipment or transponder time is a default or breach under any equipment or satellite services provider agreement with Lessee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee's use of the uplink facility and the transponder time will be superior to any use by Lessor of these items and Lessee's obligations under this Section 2(d) shall cease without any liability to Lessor if and when Lessee, in its sole discretion, at any time during the term hereof, decides to discontinue the operation and distribution of the PAX Programming Service from the Lease Premises. Except, and to the extent the same is prohibited under the terms of any agreement between Lessee and any equipment or satellite service provider, Lessee will uplink one channel of Lessor's programming (in a standard definition format with accompanying audio) on a 24 hour, seven days per week basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Lessee be liable in any way, including direct or consequential damages, to Lessor for any failure in providing distribution, uplink or assembly services for Lessor's satellite delivered programming, except to the extent such failure is the result of intentional misconduct or gross negligence of Lessee. 3. USE OF ASSETS (a) Lessee shall have the right to use the Leased Premises only for the purpose of television production primarily for PAX Programming Services and associated activities and for the operation of satellite transmit and receive antennas, uplinks and associated equipment related to Lessee's operations (the "Business").

Lessor shall have a right of access to the Leased Premises at all reasonable times, for examination, inspection, emergency repair or replacement of Lessee's equipment, provided, however, that (except as may be provided elsewhere in this Lease) Lessor shall take reasonable efforts to see that such access and activity by Lessor does not interfere with the use of the Leased Premises by Lessee or any other tenant, or interrupt or otherwise adversely affect the continued broadcast operation of PAX Programming Service and the Business.

(b) Before Lessee may make any Alterations to the Leased Premises in accordance with the rights granted by Subsection 5(a) hereof, Lessee shall submit to Lessor written specifications for such Alterations that are proposed for Lessor's approval. Lessor, within thirty (30) days after receipt by it of the written specifications, shall notify Lessee whether it approves such Alterations. If Lessor fails to notify Lessee in writing within such thirty (30) day period that it disapproves of such Alterations, Lessee may proceed to cause the Alterations to be made. 6. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. If the Leased Premises shall be partially damaged by fire or other cause without the fault or neglect of Lessee or its employees, agents, visitors or licensees, the Lessor shall proceed forthwith to replace or to repair the Leased Premises with reasonable diligence at the expense of Lessor; provided, if the Leased Premises are to be replaced or repaired and are untenantable in whole or in part following such damage, the rent payable hereunder during the period in which they are unusable shall be adjusted 4 equitably; provided further, however, if the Leased Premises are totally damaged or rendered wholly unusable by fire or other cause, including, but not limited to, condemnation, and Lessor shall decide not to replace the same, then, within ninety (90) days after such fire, casualty or condemnation, Lessor may give Lessee notice in writing of the decision not to replace, whereupon the Term of this Lease shall terminate, Lessee shall surrender the Leased Premises to Lessor, and rent shall be abated for the unexpired portion of this Lease, effective as of the date of said written notice from Lessor, and Lessor shall have no further obligation or liability to Lessee.
