LEASE
ARTICLE 1 – Parties

THIS LEASE is made as of the date shown under Item 1 of Exhibit "F" between BRICKELL BAY TOWER LTD., INC., a company qualified to do business in the state of Florida, having its principal office at c/o Management Office, 1001 Brickell Bay Drive, Suite 1808, Miami Florida, 33131, hereinafter called "Landlord" and the Tenant shown under Item 2 of Exhibit "F", hereinafter called "Tenant". All capitalized terms not otherwise defined in the text are defined in Article 50 below.

ARTICLE 2 - Premises I

In consideration of the payments of rents and other charges provided for herein and the covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby hires from Landlord that certain space ("Premises") situated on the floor(s) shown under Item 3 of Exhibit "F", which the parties agree consist of square feet of Rentable Area as shown under Item 4 of Exhibit "F", and as shown on the diagram attached hereto as Exhibit "B", in the building known as Brickell Bay Office Tower, located at 1001 Brickell Bay Drive, Miami, Florida ("Building"). I

During the Term Tenant shall have the use of unreserved parking spaces for the number of cars in the Parking Levels as shown in Item 10 of Exhibit "F". Such parking spaces may be used only by Tenant and its employees. As consideration for the availability and use of these spaces, Tenant shall pay Landlord as Additional Rent Landlord's then current standard rates for such parking spaces as shown in Item 10 of Exhibit "F", as such standard rates may be adjusted from time to time.

ARTICLE 3 – Term

(a) The term of this Lease ("Term") and Tenant's obligation to pay rent hereunder shall commence on (i) the date when the Premises are ready for occupancy or (ii) the date when Tenant shall take possession of and occupy the Premises, or any portion thereof, whichever of said dates shall first occur ("Commencement Date"), and for the term of twenty four months. The parties shall execute a written agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "D" ("Supplemental Agreement") to confirm the Commencement Date, provided however, failure to do so shall neither delay the Commencement Date nor affect Tenant's obligations under this Lease.

ARTICLE 4 - Holding Over

If Tenant retains possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease by lapse of time or otherwise, Tenant shall pay Rent to Landlord, at twice the monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant for the last full month of the Term prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Term hereof, for each month or portion thereof Tenant thus remains in possession. The provisions of this Article shall not exclude Landlord's rights of reentry or any other right hereunder.

ARTICLE 5 - Rent

(a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord at its office specified in Article 1, or at such other address as Landlord shall designate to Tenant in writing from time to time, as yearly base rent, the sums shown in Item 6 of Exhibit "F" ("Base Rent"), payable on the first day of each calendar month in equal monthly installments (plus applicable taxes) in advance and without demand, beginning at the Commencement Date and continuing until the expiration of the Term. For purposes of Base Rent each year shall consist of twelve consecutive months and shall end on the last day of the month in which the first anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs. In the event the Term commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord, on or before the Commencement Date, a pro rata portion of the monthly installment of Base Rent, such pro rata portion to be payable at the monthly rate for the first year and based on the number of days remaining in such partial month after the Commencement Date.

(b) Tenant hereby further covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord, as and when due, all sums of money, charges or other amounts required to be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord or to another person under this Lease including without limitation, Rent Escalations as set forth below, sales tax on the amount of Rent due and parking charges (all such payments being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Additional Rent") in addition to the Base Rent provided for herein. Nonpayment of Additional Rent when due shall constitute a default under this Lease to the same extent, and shall entitle the Landlord to the same remedies, as nonpayment of Base Rent. All Rent shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord without set off or deduction, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease.

ARTICLE 6 - Rent Escalations - Intentionally omitted

ARTICLE 7 - Security Deposit

Tenant has deposited with the Landlord the sum shown in Item 8 of Exhibit "F" as security for the full and faithful performance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. In the event default shall be made in the payment of Base Rent or Additional Rent required to be paid by Tenant, or default shall be made by Tenant in the performance of any of the other covenants, agreements or conditions by it to be kept and performed hereunder, Tenant hereby authorizes Landlord, at its election, without notice to apply the funds so deposited in payment of Base Rent or Additional Rent due hereunder or in remedying any other default hereunder. Any action taken by Landlord under this Article shall not be construed to be a waiver of any of its other rights available under this Lease or by law, or in case of subsequent default, of
any of its rights to enforce any remedy available to Landlord by law or under the provisions of this Lease, including the remedies set forth in this Article. If the amount deposited as security as aforstated or any part thereof are used, applied or retained in curing any default, Tenant, upon demand, shall immediately deposit with Landlord an amount in cash equal to the amount so used, applied or retained and if Tenant shall fail to do so, such failure shall constitute a default under this Lease, affording Landlord the same remedies as a default in payment of Base Rent. Within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Term, provided Tenant shall not then be in default hereunder, Landlord shall return to Tenant, without interest, said deposit or such portion thereof then remaining on deposit with Landlord hereunder. The security deposit may be commingled with Landlord's funds and shall not bear interest to Tenant.

In case of a sale or transfer of the fee of the Building, or any cessation of Landlord's interest therein, whether in whole or in part, Landlord may pay over any unapplied part of said security to the succeeding owner of the Building and from and after such payment Landlord shall be relieved of all liability with respect thereto. The provisions of the preceding sentence shall apply to every subsequent sale or transfer of the Building, and any successor of Landlord may, upon such sale, transfer, or other cessation of the interest of such successor in the Building, whether in whole or in part, pay over any unapplied part of said security to the successor owner of the Building and shall thereupon be relieved of a liability with respect thereto.

ARTICLE 8 - Use of Premises

Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises only as shown in Item 9 of Exhibit "F". The foregoing use is material consideration to Landlord in entering into this Lease. Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises for any other purposes or business without the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall observe and comply with all applicable governing laws, statutes, ordinance, rules regulations and the Rules and Regulations. All such Rules and Regulations shall apply to Tenant and its employees, agents, licensees, invitees, subtenants, contractors, subcontractors and assignees.

Tenant agrees that it will, at its sole cost and expense, promptly fulfill and comply with all Requirements affecting the Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises or the business conducted therein, including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act and any law, order and regulation regarding the collection, recycling and sorting of any garbage, trash, waste produce or refuse (collectively "Waste") into specified categories. Any separately sorted Waste will be stored in containers approved by Landlord and otherwise in compliance with Requirements and shall be removed from the Premises at times prescribed by Landlord.

Landlord may refuse to collect or dispose of any Waste which is not separated and sorted in accordance with Requirements and may require that Tenant remove any Waste at its own expense through a contractor reasonably approved by Landlord. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any action, claim, suit, expense and inconvenience caused by Tenant's failure to comply with any Requirement, including, without limitation, those relating to Waste.

Tenant will not maintain or store any flammable or hazardous material in the Premises, will not generate, use, store or dispose of any hazardous or toxic materials or substances, as from time to time designated under applicable law (excepting only the use of customary household cleaning products and office equipment supplies, which shall be used, stored, handled and disposed of in full compliance with applicable legal Requirements), and will not make or permit to be made any use of the Premises or any part thereof which would violate any of the covenants, costs of decorating or redecorating the Premises and the Building occasioned by such improvements, installations, alterations, additions or changes. Upon completing such improvements, installations, alterations, additions or changes, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with contractor's affidavits and full and final waivers of lien and receipted bills covering all labor and materials expended and used. All such improvements, installations, alterations, additions or changes shall comply with all insurance requirements and with all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of all governmental authorities, and shall be constructed in good and workmanlike manner, and only grades of materials shall be used which conform to the existing quality of materials in the Building. Tenant shall permit Landlord to inspect construction operations in connection with such work. If Tenant desires signal, communication, alarm or other utility service connections installed or changed, the same may, at Landlord option, be provided by Landlord at the expense of Tenant.

ARTICLE 11 - Condition of Premises

Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly set forth in this Lease, there have been no representations, promises or warranties made by or on behalf of Landlord (including, without limitation, by any broker or agent or employee of Landlord) with respect to the Premises, the Land, Building, any work or alterations to be performed by Landlord, or with respect to the suitability of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant's business.

The taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant in its condition upon delivery shall conclusively establish that Landlord's work, if any, in the Premises were at such time in satisfactory condition, order and repair, excepting punch list items, if any, as to which Tenant notifies Landlord in writing within five (5) days thereafter.

ARTICLE 12 - Liens Against Premises

Tenant shall not permit to be created nor to remain undischarged any lien, encumbrance or charge arising out of any work of any contractor, mechanic, laborer or materialman in connection with work contracted for or requested by Tenant which might be or become a lien or encumbrance or charge upon the Premises, the Building, the Land or the income therefrom and Tenant shall not suffer any other matter or thing whereby the estate, right and interest of Landlord in the Premises, the Building or the Land might be impaired. Neither Landlord's interest in the Land or the Building nor the Land or the Building shall be subject to attachment. Tenant shall include in all contracts and subcontracts for work to be performed by Tenant at the Premises provisions wherein such contractor or subcontractor acknowledges that Landlord has no liability under such contracts and subcontracts and that such contractor or subcontractors waives any right it may have to lien or attach Landlord's interest in the Land or the Building, or the Land or the Building. If any lien or notice of lien on account of an alleged debt of Tenant or any notice of contract by a party engaged by Tenant or Tenant's contractor to work in the Premises shall be filed against the Premises or the Building or Land, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after notice of the filing thereof, cause the same to be discharged of record by payment, deposit, bond, order of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise. If Tenant shall fail to cause such lien or notice of lien to be discharged within the period provided, then Landlord, in addition to any other rights or remedies, may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same by either paying the amounts claimed to be due or by procuring the discharge of such lien by deposit or by bonding proceedings; and in any such event, Landlord shall be entitled, if Landlord so elects, to defend any prosecution of an action for foreclosure of such lien by the lienor or to compel the prosecution of an action for foreclosure of such lien by the lienor and to pay the amount of the judgment in favor of the lienor with interest, costs and allowances. Any amount paid by Landlord and all costs and expenses, including attomeys' fees, incurred by Landlord in connection therewith shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent within ten (10) days after demand. Nothing in this Lease shall be construed as in any way constituting a consent or request by Landlord, expressed or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer or materialman for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any material for any specific or general improvement, alteration or repair of or to the Premises or to any part thereof in connection with the work contracted for or requested by Tenant.

ARTICLE 13 - Building Services

Landlord shall provide in a manner befitting a first class office building in the Brickell
Avenue area, in the City of Miami, Florida, the following services and facilities:

(a) Air conditioning, ventilation and heating during the hours from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on normal business days other than Holidays and 8:00 a.m. to 12 noon on Saturdays other than Holidays and at other hours as Tenant may request, provided that such request shall be made prior to 12:00 o'clock noon in the case of after-hours service on Monday through Friday and prior to 12:00 o'clock noon on Friday for service on weekends. Requests shall be made in writing and delivered to the Building Manager's office in the Building. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, Landlord's cost for providing any after-hours service. Landlord will establish the hourly cost of such service, from time to time, including reasonable physical depreciation and administration costs based upon the anticipated operating life of the equipment as of the Commencement Date, which cost is presently estimated to be $40.00 per hour, and which may be increased from time to time. Landlord will render to Tenant and Tenant shall promptly pay monthly bills for such service.

Landlord will maintain the air conditioning systems, and will use all reasonable care to keep the same in proper and efficient operating condition; provided, however, Landlord will not be responsible for the failure of the air conditioning system to meet the requirements hereinbefore specified if such failure results from the occupancy of the Premises by more than an average of one person for each 100 square feet of Rentable Area or if Tenant installs and operates machines, appliances and lighting fixtures, excluding Building Standard lighting fixtures in the ceiling, which exceed a total of three (3) watts of connected load per square foot of usable area. Tenant agrees to cooperate fully with Landlord and to abide by all the regulations and requirements which Landlord may reasonably prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems. Tenant also agrees to abide by all governmental regulations regarding heating and cooling and agrees to indemnify Landlord for any liabilities imposed upon Landlord for Tenant failure to do so;

(b) Continuous passenger elevator service during normal business days and hours other than Holidays, and service via at least one car per elevator bank at all other times;

(c) Janitor services, including the removal of debris, cleaning of space, dusting of furniture, desks and pictures, window cleaning and vacuuming;

(d) Cold and hot water for Building restroom facilities and cold water for drinking fountains. If Tenant requires water for any additional purposes, Tenant shall pay the cost thereof as shown on a meter to be installed and maintained at Tenant's expense to measure such consumption;

(e) Relamping and reballasting in the common area of the Building and relamping and reballasting of Building Standard lamping in the Premises as required; and

(f) Electric current for Building Standard 277-volt lighting fixtures installed in the Premises and for normal small business machines connected to Building Standard 120-volt, single phase outlets during normal business days and hours. Tenant shall pay monthly to Landlord, as Additional Rent, for the consumption of electricity used in the Premises of a total connected load in excess of a total of 3 watts per square foot of Rentable Area, at a rate computed on Landlord's average cost per kilowatt hour, determined by dividing the total kilowatt hours used into the total cost of the electric company's invoices paid for the Building for the prior month. The amount of electrical consumption in the Premises for a total connected load in excess of 3 watts per square foot of Rentable Area shall be determined by Landlord's reasonable estimate, or, if requested by Tenant, by an engineering analysis and/or study, such analysis and/or study to be at Tenant's cost. Landlord shall not be liable for failure of and/or lack of supply in the electric current.

 
-5-

 
Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant and there shall be no abatement or diminution in Rent or Additional Rent in the event of the suspension, delay or stoppage of any of the services to be furnished and provided by Landlord under this Lease, whenever occasioned by reason of fire, storm, explosion, strike, lockout, labor dispute, casualty or accident, lack or failure of sources of supply or labor, energy or fuel (or inability in the exercise of reasonable diligence to obtain any required energy or fuel), acts of God or the public enemy, riots, interferences by civil or military authorities, compliance with the laws of the United States of America or with the laws, orders or regulations of any governmental authority, Landlord's negligence, or by reason of any other cause beyond Landlord's control, or for emergency, or for inspection, cleaning, repairs, replacements, alterations, or improvements which, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, are desirable or necessary to be made; and Landlord may suspend any such service until completion of any such work, which Landlord covenants and agrees to use reasonable efforts to complete in a timely manner.

ARTICLE 14 - Assignment and Subletting

(a) The identity and financial position of Tenant is a material consideration of Landlord in entering into this Lease. The Tenant shall not, and shall not have the power or authority, without the consent of Landlord, to:

1. assign, transfer, encumber, mortgage, dispose of or convey this Lease or any interest in it;

2. allow any assignment, subletting or transfer hereof or any lien upon the Tenant's interest by operation of law or by voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise, and in no event shall this Lease or any rights or privileges hereunder be an asset of Tenant under any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceedings;

3. sublet the Premises or any part thereof; or

4. permit the use or occupancy of the Premises or any part thereof by anyone other than the Tenant, its employees, or guests.

Any attempted assignment, subletting, mortgaging, encumbrance or transfer in violation of the foregoing provision shall constitute a default hereunder and shall be void and of no effect whatsoever;

(b) If Tenant is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, then any transfer of this Lease from Tenant by merger, consolidation or liquidation, or any change in ownership or power to vote of a majority of its outstanding voting stock, partnership interests or membership interests from the owners of such stock or partnership or membership interests or those controlling the powers to vote of such stock, partnership interests or membership interests as of the date of this Lease, shall constitute an assignment for the purpose of this Lease. The foregoing provision shall not apply to a corporate Tenant if, and so long as, all the outstanding voting stock of such corporation is listed on a National Securities Exchange as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(c) In the event that Tenant requests permission to either assign this Lease, or to sublet the whole or any part of the Premises, or this Lease is deemed to be assigned pursuant to Paragraph (b) of this Article, then Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to consent or withhold consent. Without otherwise limiting the Landlord's right to approve or disapprove any assignment or subletting, Landlord intends, at its option, to withhold its consent to any subletting of the Premises or any part thereof if (i) such proposed subletting be to any person, firm, association or corporation which shall then be a tenant or sub-tenant of Landlord or an occupant of any part of the Building provided that there is a comparable space available to lease in the Building or (ii) such proposed subletting is at a rental rate less than 90% of the rental rates then being charged under leases being entered into by Landlord for comparable space in the Building, or (iii) such subletting is to an agency of any federal, state or local government or to an employment or personnel agency or school. The acceptance of rent from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the provisions of this Lease or to be a consent to the assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Premises.

 
-6-

 
(d) If the Landlord shall consent to any assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing all obligations of Tenant hereunder and neither Tenant 110r any assignee shall be relieved of any liability hereunder, and in the event of default by the assignee in the performance of any of the terms hereof, no notice of such default or demand of any kind need be served on Tenant or the assignee to hold such parties liable to Landlord. Notwithstanding any assignment or sublease, whether or not with Landlord's consent, Tenant shall remain fully liable and shall not be released from performing any of the terms of this Lease and no written consent or approval, if granted, shall be deemed to permit any subsequent assignment or subletting, and each and every subsequent assignment or subletting shan require the express written approval of Landlord. In the event of default by any assignee or any successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such assignee or successor. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments of this Lease or sublettings or amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees of Tenant, immediate or remote, without notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto and such action shall not relieve Tenant or any assignee of liability under this Lease.

In responding to Tenant's request for consent to a proposed (i) assignment, or (ii) subletting of all of the Premises, or (iii) a subletting of part of the Premises for substantially all of the Term, Landlord, in addition to any other rights it may have hereunder, may in the case of a proposed assignment or subletting referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) elect to terminate this Lease and the Term hereof, or in the case of a'proposal referred to in clause (iii) terminating this Lease as to the portion of the Premises covered by the proposed sublease, in each case, effective at the end of the third month from the date when the request was received.

(e) If the Landlord shall give its consent to any assignment of this Lease or to any sublease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent:

(i) In the case of an assignment, an amount equal to all sums and other considerations paid to Tenant by the assignee for or by reason of such assignment (including, but not limited to, sums paid for the sale of fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture, furnishings or other personal property, less, in the case of a sale thereof, the then net unamortized or undepreciated cost thereof determined on the basis of Tenant's federal income tax return); and

(ii) In the case of a sublease, any rents, additional charges or other consideration payable under the sublease to Tenant by the subtenant which is in excess of the Base Rent and Additional Rent accruing during the term of the sublease in respect of the subleased space (at the rate per square foot then and thereafter payable by Tenant hereunder) pursuant to the terms hereof (including, but not limited to, sums paid for the sale of or rental of Tenant's fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture or other personal property, less, in the case of the sale thereof, the then net unamortized or undepreciated cost thereof determined on the basis of Tenant's federal income tax return). The sums payable under this subparagraph shall be paid to Landlord as and when paid by the subtenant to Tenant.

(f) With respect to each and every sublease consented to by Landlord under the provisions of this Lease, it is further agreed that each sublease shall provide that (i) 110 rent due and payable under the sublease shall be based in whole or in part on the income or profits derived from the subleased premises (except, with respect to retail-tenants, for percentage rent based on gross (not net) receipts or sales), (ii) if Mortgagee (as hereinafter defined) succeeds to the Landlord's interest under the Lease and is advised by its counsel that all or any portion of the rent payable under the Lease is or may be deemed to be unrelated business income within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code or regulations issued thereunder, Mortgagee may elect to amend unilaterally the calculation of rent so that none of the rent payable to Mortgagee under the Lease will constitute unrelated business income, but the amendment will not increase Tenant's payment obligations or other liability under the Lease or reduce the Landlord's obligations under the Lease, and (iii) subtenant will execute any document Mortgagee deems necessary to consent to the amendment of the sublease.

ARTICLE 15 - Access to Premises

Landlord, its employees and agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times upon reasonable notice and in emergency situations without notice for the purposes of examining or inspecting the same, showing the same to prospective purchasers, mortgagees, or tenants of the Building (but as to prospective tenants only in the last nine (9) months of the Term), performing cleaning and maintenance, and making such alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the Building which may be, in Landlord's reasonable discretion, necessary or desirable. If representatives of Tenant shall not be present to open and permit entry into the Premises at any time when such entry by Landlord is necessary or permitted hereunder, Landlord, its employees and agents may enter by means of a master key (or forcibly in the event of any emergency), without liability of Landlord to Tenant and without such entry constituting any eviction of Tenant or termination of this Lease, so long as the Landlord, its employees and agents act reasonably under the circumstances. In all cases, Landlord will use reasonable efforts in exercising its rights under this Article so as to minimize any unreasonable interference with Tenant's use of the Premises.

ARTICLE 16 – Repairs

Landlord shall make all repairs necessary to maintain the plumbing (excluding sinks and similar facilities serving only the Premises), air conditioning (excluding any supplemental units serving only the Premises) and electrical systems, windows, floors (excluding floor coverings) and walls (other than paint or wall covering) and except repairs of Tenant's trade fixtures and property and installations which Tenant was obligated to make or which were performed by Landlord or others at Tenant's request. It is provided, however, that Landlord shall not be obligated for any of such repairs and shall not be deemed to be in default of its obligations under this Lease until the expiration of a reasonable period of time after receipt of written notice from Tenant that such repairs are needed and as long as Landlord is making a diligent effort to make said repair. In no event shall Landlord be obligated under this Article to repair any damage caused to the Premises or any part thereof by any act, omission or negligence of the Tenant or its employees, agents, invitees, licensees, subtenants, subcontractors or assignees. Tenant shall take good care of the Premises and the fixtures and appurtenances therein and make all repairs and replacements needed to keep them in first class order and condition, except for those repairs and replacements required to be performed by Landlord. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair and replace all damage or injury to the Premises and Building and to fixtures and equipment caused by Tenant or its employees, agents, invitees, licensees, subtenants, contractors, or subcontractors, or assignees as the result of all or any of them moving in or out of Building or by installation or removal of furniture, fixtures or other property, which repairs and replacements shall be in quality and class equal to the original undamaged condition immediately prior to the damage caused by Tenant or such parties. If Tenant fails to make such repairs or replacements, the same may be made by Landlord (but without any obligation on Landlord's part to do so) and such expense shall be collectible as Additional Rent and paid by Tenant within fifteen (15) days after rendition of a bill therefor.


 
-8-

 
Landlord shall not be liable by reason of any inconvenience, injury to, or interference with Tenant's business arising from the making or any repairs, alterations or improvement in or to the Premises or the Land and Building or to any appurtenances or equipment therein unless such inconvenience, or injury or interference shall be occasioned by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Landlord, its agents, servants and/or employees. There shall be no abatement of Rent because of such repairs, alterations, additions or improvements, except as may be specifically provided in Article l3 hereof Landlord covenants to use reasonable effort to implement such repairs, alterations, additions or improvements in a timely and expeditious manner.

ARTICLE 17 - Surrender of Premises

At termination of this Lease by lapse of time or otherwise, Tenant shall surrender the Premises together with all alterations, additions and improvements thereto, in broom-clean condition and good order and repair, except for ordinary wear and tear and damage for which Tenant is not obligated to make repairs under this Lease. Upon such termination all installations, alterations, additions, hardware and improvements, including partitions which may have been installed by either Landlord or Tenant upon the Premises shall remain upon the Premises and shall be Landlord's property, all without compensation, allowance or credit, except that Tenant's trade fixtures and furniture shall remain Tenant's property and Tenant shall prior to such termination remove the same. It is further provided, however, that (i) if prior to such termination or within (15) days thereafter Landlord so directs by notice to Tenant, Tenant shall promptly remove any installations, alterations, additions, hardware or improvements placed in the Premises after the Commencement Date (or any personal property of Tenant) and designated in the notice, failing which Landlord may remove the same and Tenant shall pay the cost of such removal and of any necessary restoration of the Premises; and (ii) Tenant shall promptly repair any damage to the Premises caused by any such removal by Tenant and shall restore the Premises to the condition in which they were prior to the installation of the items so removed. It is specifically agreed that Tenant's covenants set forth in sub-sections (i) and (ii) above shall survive the termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 18 - Waiver of Claims

Tenant agrees, to the extent not expressly prohibited by law, that Landlord, its agents, employees and servants shall not be liable for, and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord, its agents, employees and servants for injury to person or damage to property sustained by Tenant or any other person occurring in or about the Land and Building or the Premises, resulting directly or indirectly from any existing or future condition, defect, matter or thing in the Premises, the Land and Building or any part thereof or from equipment or appurtenances becoming out of repair or from accident, or from any occurrence or act, or omission of any tenant or occupant of the Building, or of any other person, other than occasioned solely by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Landlord, its agents, servants and/or employees.

Tenant agrees to commence such work within ten(10) days after the date of such damage or destruction or the date Landlord completes any reconstruction required to be completed by it pursuant to the above, whichever date is later, and Tenant shall diligently pursue such work to its completion.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding subsection (a) or elsewhere in this Lease, Landlord, at its option, may terminate this Lease on thirty (30) days notice to Tenant, if given within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of any damage or destruction if:

ARTICLE 21 - Radon Gas

Radon is naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from the county public health unit.

ARTICLE 22 - Subordination and Attornment

This Lease is and shall at all times be and remain subject and subordinate to the terms and the lien of any mortgage or mortgages or deeds of trust or ground leases now or hereafter existing or placed upon Landlord's interest in the said Premises and on the Land and Building of which said Premises are a part, or upon any buildings hereafter placed upon the Land on which the Premises are located (the holder of any such mortgages or deeds of trust or the landlord under any such ground lease being hereinafter referred to as "Mortgagee") and to any and all advances to be made under any such mortgages or ground lease, and all renewals, modifications, extension, consolidations and replacements thereof.

Although the foregoing subordination provision is self operative, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver, upon demand, within ten (10) days of request thereof such further instrument or instruments subordinating this Lease on the foregoing basis to the lien and terms of any such mortgage or mortgages as shall be desired by the Landlord and any Mortgagee or proposed Mortgagee and Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord the attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute and deliver such instrument or instruments for and in the name of Tenant in the event Tenant shall fail to execute such instrument or instruments within ten (10) days after written notice to do so.

Tenant shall, in the event of the sale or assignment of Landlord's interest in the Land and/or Building, or in the event of any proceedings brought for the foreclosure of, or in the event of the exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage covering the Land and Building, attorn to and recognize such purchaser or mortgagee as Landlord under this Lease, and in any such events, Landlord named herein shall not thereafter be liable on this Lease.
Landlord and Tenant agree that no rent due and payable under this Lease shall be based in whole or in part on the income or profits derived from the Premises (except, with respect to retail tenants, for percentage rent based on gross (not net) receipts or sales). Landlord and Tenant agree that if Mortgagee succeeds to the Landlord's interest under the Lease and is advised by its counsel that all or any portion of the rent payable under the Lease is or may be deemed to be unrelated business income within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code or regulations issued thereunder, Mortgagee may elect to amend unilaterally the calculation of rent so that none of the rent payable to Mortgagee under the Lease will constitute unrelated business income, but the amendment will not increase Tenant's payment obligations or other liability under the Lease or reduce the Landlord's obligations under the Lease. Tenant further covenants and agrees to execute any document Mortgagee deems necessary to effect the amendment of the Lease.

ARTICLE 23 - Eminent Domain/Condemnation

If the Land and/or Building, or any portion thereof which includes a substantial part of the Premises or which prevents the operation of the Building as an integral unit in the sole judgment of Landlord, shall be taken or condemned by any competent authority for any public use or purpose, the term of this Lease shall end upon, and not before, the date when the possession of the part so taken shall be acquired by the condemning authority for such use or purpose, and without apportionment of the condemnation award. Current Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination. If any condemnation proceeding shall be instituted in which it is sought to take or damage any part of the Land and/or Building, Landlord shall have the right to cancel this Lease upon not less than sixty (60) days notice. No money or other consideration shall be payable by Landlord to Tenant for the right of cancellation. Tenant shall have no right to share in the condemnation award or any judgment for damages caused by such taking or change of grade, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all Tenant's interest, if any, in any such award.

 
-13-

 
However, provided that the amount can be definitely ascertained in such proceedings, and be awarded separate and apart, and not in diminution of any award to Landlord, nothing hereinabove provided shall preclude Tenant from appearing, claiming, providing and receiving in the condemnation proceedings, Tenant's separate claim for Tenant's moving expenses, the value of Tenant's fixtures or equipment, or Tenant's moveable installations and improvements which do not become part of the Building.

ARTICLE 24 - Estoppel Certificate

Lease by Landlord, or stating the defaults and/or defenses claimed by Tenant; (f) reciting the amount of advance Rent, if any, paid by Tenant and the date to which Rent has been paid; (g) reciting the amount of security deposited with Landlord, if any; and (h) any other information which Landlord or the Mortgagee shall require; it being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant to this Article may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or Mortgagee of the Land and Building or any part thereof.

ARTICLE 25 - Bankruptcy

If at any time after the execution of this Lease, Tenant or any surety or guarantor of this Lease shall commence, in any court pursuant to any statute either of the United States or of any State, an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding (including, without limitation, a proceeding for liquidation, reorganization or for adjustment of debts of an individual with regular income), or if such a proceeding is commenced against Tenant or any surety or guarantor of this Lease and either an order for relief is entered against such party or such party fails to secure a discharge of the proceeding within thirty (30) days of the filing thereof, or if Tenant or any surety or guarantor of this Lease becomes insolvent or is unable or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or petitions for or enters into an arrangement with its creditors or a custodian is appointed or takes possession of Tenant's or any such surety's or guarantor's property, whether or not a judicial proceeding is instituted in connection with such arrangement or in connection with the appointment of such custodian (each of the foregoing events are hereinafter referred to as an "act of bankruptcy"), then Landlord besides other rights or remedies it may have, shall have the immediate right to terminate this Lease or re-enter and attempt to relet without terminating this Lease and remove all persons and property from the Premises and such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of, Tenant, all without service of notice or resort to legal process and without being deemed guilty of trespass, or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby and Landlord may retain as liquidated damages any rent or money received by Landlord from Tenant or others on behalf of Tenant. In the event of a proceeding involving Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code, 11 D.S.C. 101 et seq., as amended from time to time, if this Lease is assumed by Tenant's trustee in bankruptcy (after such trustee has cured all existing defaults, compensated Landlord for any loss resulting therefrom and provided adequate assurance of future performance), then this Lease may not be assigned by the trustee to a third party, unless such party (a) executes and delivers to Landlord an agreement in recordable form whereby such party assumes and agrees with Landlord to discharge all obligations of Tenant under this Lease, including, without limitation, the provisions of Article 8 relating to the permitted use of the Premises and the manner of operation thereof; (b) has a net worth and operating experience at least comparable to that possessed by Tenant named herein and any surety or guarantor of this Lease as of the execution of this Lease; and (c) grants Landlord to secure the performance of such party's obligations under this Lease, a first priority security interest in such party's merchandise, inventory, personal property, fixtures, furnishings, and accounts receivable (and the proceeds of all of the foregoing) with respect to its operations in the Premises, and in connection therewith, such party shall execute such security agreements, financing statements and other documents (the forms of which are to be designated by Landlord) as necessary to perfect such lien.

 
-14-

 

ARTICLE 26 - Defaults and Remedies

(a) All rights and remedies of Landlord herein enumerated shall be cumulative, and none shall exclude any other rights or remedies allowed by law or in equity. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:

1. Tenant shall fail, neglect or refuse to pay (i) any installment of Base Rent or Additional Rent at the time and in the amount as herein provided, or (ii) any other monies agreed by it to be paid promptly when and as the same shall become due and payable under the terms hereof; or if

2. Tenant shall abandon or vacate the Premises, or shall remove or attempt to remove or express or declare any intention to remove any of the goods and chattels from the Premises (other than in the normal course of business), or shall fail, neglect or refuse to keep and perform any of the other covenants, conditions, stipulations or agreements herein contained, and in the event any such default shall continue for a period of more than ten (10) days after notice thereof is given in writing to Tenant by Landlord (provided, however, that if the cause for giving such notice involves the making of repairs or other matters reasonably requiring a longer period of time than said ten (10) day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have complied with such notice so long as it has commenced to comply with said notice within said ten (10) day period and is diligently prosecuting compliance of said notice and ultimately completes compliance); or if

3. Tenant shall repeatedly be late in the payment of Base Rent or Additional Rent or other sums or charges due Landlord under this Lease or shall repeatedly default in the keeping, observing or performing of any other covenants or agreements herein contained to be kept, observed or performed by Tenant (provided notice of such payment or other defaults shall have been given to Tenant, but irrespective of whether or not Tenant shall have timely cured any such payment or other defaults of which notice was given);

(b) In the event of any such default or breach of this Lease by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right and option (without further notice, including any statutory notice that might otherwise be required, all of which are hereby waived by Tenant) to (i) declare the entire Rent due for the balance of the Term together with the costs of suit and reasonable attorneys' fees immediately due and payable by Tenant, and Landlord shall have any and all of the remedies herein set forth and (ii) cancel this Lease at once or at any time thereafter and re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and their property therein, and such property may be stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of the Tenant, all without service of notice or resort to legal process and without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass and without prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise be used by Landlord.


 
-15-

 
The Landlord may, however, at its option, at any time after Tenant's default or violation of condition or covenant, re-enter and take possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease, and remove any property contained therein. Such re-entry shall not constitute a forfeiture of the Rent to be paid and the covenants, agreements and conditions to be kept and performed by Tenant for the Term of this Lease. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event of such re-entry, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to divide or subdivide the Premises in any manner Landlord may determine and to lease or let the same or portions thereof for such periods of time and at such rentals and for use and upon such covenants and conditions as Landlord may elect, and at its sale discretion, applying the net rentals from such letting first to the payment of Landlord's expenses incurred in dispossession of Tenant and the cost and expense of making such improvements, alterations and repairs in the Premises as may be necessary in order to enable Landlord to relet the same, and to the payment of any brokerage commissions or other necessary expenses of Landlord in connection with such reletting. The balance, if any, shall be applied by Landlord, from time to time, on account of the payment due at payable by Tenant hereunder with the right reserved to Landlord to bring such action or proceedings for the recovery of any deficits remaining unpaid as Landlord may deem favorable from time to time without obligation to await the end of the Term hereof for the final determination of Tenant's account. The failure or refusal of Landlord to relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof shall not release or affect Tenant's liability for damages.

Landlord may make such alterations, repairs, replacements and/or decoration in the Premises as Landlord, in Landlord's sale judgment, considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of reletting the Premises; and the making of such alterations, repairs, replacements, and/or decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Landlord shall, in no event, be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to relet the Premises, or, in the event the Premises are relet, for failure to collect the rent due from such reletting.

In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of the covenants or provisions of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right of injunction and the right to invoke any remedy allowed by law or in equity as if re-entry, summary proceedings and other remedies were not herein provided for. Mention in this Lease of any particularly remedy shall not preclude Landlord from any other remedy, in law or in equity. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant's being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Landlord's obtaining possession of the Premises, by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this Lease or otherwise; and further expressly waives service of any notice of Landlord's intention to re-enter.

In the event any installment of Rent shall become overdue for a period in excess of five (5) days, a one time "Late Charge" in the amount of four percent (4%) of such overdue installment may be charged to Tenant by Landlord for the purpose of defraying the expenses incident to handling such delinquent payments. This charge shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedy Landlord may have and shall be in addition to any reasonable fees and charges of any agents or attorneys which Landlord is entitled to employ on any default hereunder, whether authorized herein, or by law.
 
 

 
-16-

 

In addition to the above described Late Charge, at Landlord's option, any payment required to be made by Tenant under the provisions of this Lease not made by Tenant when and as due shall thereupon be deemed to be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord with interest thereon at 2% per annum above the then prime rate of interest at Citibank N.A. from the date when the amount became due to the date of payment thereof to Landlord (but in any event taken together with any Late Charges, not in excess of the maximum lawful amount permitted to be charged).

ARTICLE 27 - Intentionally omitted

ARTICLE 28 - Non-waiver

The failure or delay on the part of either party to enforce or exercise at any time any of the provisions, rights or remedies in this Lease shall in no way be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Lease or any part thereof, or the right of the party to thereafter enforce each and every such provision, right or remedy. No waiver of any breach of this Lease shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. The receipt and acceptance by Landlord of Base Rent or Additional Rent at a time when the payment of such Base Rent or Additional Rent is in default under this Lease shall not be construed as a waiver of such default. The receipt and acceptance by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Base Rent or Additional Rent due shall not be construed to be other than a payment on account of the Base Rent or Additional Rent then due, nor shall any statement on Tenant's check or any letter accompanying Tenant's check be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of the Base Rent or Additional Rent due or to pursue any other remedies available under law or provided in this Lease. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord's agents or employees during the term of this Lease shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such a surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord. If there be any agreement between Landlord and Tenant providing for the cancellation of this Lease upon , certain provisions or contingencies, the occurrence of such provision or contingency shall also terminate all rights or options to renew the Lease. Any right of renewal or expansion granted to Tenant or the execution of a renewal or expansion agreement between Landlord and Tenant prior to the expiration of the Term of this Lease shall not be considered a vested right in Tenant to such further term or expansion space so as to prevent Landlord from canceling this Lease and any such extension or expansion thereof pursuant to Landlord's exercising any remedies provided herein or at law in the event of a default by Tenant during the remainder of the Term hereby granted. Such right of termination, if and when so exercised by Landlord, shall cancel and terminate this Lease and any such renewal or extension or expansion previously entered into between Landlord and Tenant or the right of Tenant to any such renewal or extension or expansion. Any right herein contained on the part of Landlord to cancel this Lease shall continue during any extension or renewal or expansion hereof. Any option on the part of Tenant herein contained for an extension of renewal hereof shall not be deemed to give Tenant any option for a further extension beyond that expressly set forth in this Lease, if any.

In the event of any such relocation, Landlord will pay: (a) all the reasonable expenses of preparing and decorating the new premises, so that they will be substantially similar to the Premises; and (b) the reasonable expenses of moving Tenant's furniture and equipment' to the relocated premises.

ARTICLE 31 - Quiet Enjoyment

If and so long as Tenant pays the Base Rent and Additional Rent reserved hereunder and observes and performs all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on Tenant's part to be observed and performed hereunder, Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the entire term hereof free from the claims of anyone claiming by, through or under Landlord, but subject to all provisions of this Lease.

ARTICLE 32 - Sprinklers

If the Building sprinkler system or any of its appliances shall be damaged or injured by reason of any act or omission of Tenant, or Tenant's agents, servants, employees, licensees or visitors, Tenant shall forthwith restore the same to good working condition at its own expense. If by reason of alterations by Tenant after the initial occupancy or changes in either Tenant's business or contents of the Premises (i) the fire insurance rating organization or any Governmental Authority shall require or recommend that any changes modifications, alterations or additional sprinkler heads or other equipment be made or supplied or (ii) if any changes,

 
-18-

 

modifications, alterations, additional sprinkler heads or other equipment, become necessary to prevent the imposition of a penalty charge against the full allowance for a sprinkler system in the first insurance rate as fixed by a fire insurance company insuring the Building, Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, promptly make and supply such changes, modifications, alterations, additional sprinkler heads or other equipment as required to comply with such requirement or recommendation, or to prevent the imposition of a penalty.

ARTICLE 33 - Unavoidable Delay

In the event that either party shall be delayed or hindered in, or prevented from the performance of any work, service or other acts required under this Lease to be performed by such party, and such delay or hindrance is due to strike, lockouts, acts of God, governmental restrictions, enemy act, civil commotion, fire or other casualty, or other cause of a like nature beyond the control of the party so delayed or hindered, then performance of such work, service of other act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay. In no event shall such delay constitute a termination of this Lease, or an extension thereof. The provisions of this Article shall not operate to excuse Tenant from the prompt payment of Base Rent and/or Additional Rent, including such pro rata payments of Base Rent and/or Additional Rent as may be due under any Article hereof after the Commencement Date.
