applicable had the terms of this Lease continued through the period of such
holding over by Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all claims,
damages, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such holding over, including,
without limitation, all claims by any other person or entity to which Landlord
may have leased all or any part of the Premises effective upon or after
expiration or termination of the Term. Acceptance of such rent by Landlord shall
in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default or an authorization of
Tenant’s holding over nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of its other
rights and remedies. For as long as Tenant remains a tenant at will, Tenant
shall remain bound by all terms and conditions under the Lease.

 

  3.8 Early Occupancy by Tenant: Notwithstanding anything herein contained or
implied to the contrary, if the Tenant shall use the Leased Premises for any
reason prior to the Commencement Date provided in Section 1.4 herein, then the
Commencement Date and Rental Commencement Date shall be the date the Tenant
first used the Leased Premises to conduct the Tenant’s Business, provided,
however, Tenant shall have access to the Leased Premises prior to the Rent
Commencement Date in order to install Tenant’s fixtures, furnishings and
equipment provided, Tenant has given Landlord written notice of its intent to
enter the Leased Premises prior to the Rent Commencement Date and Landlord has
consented thereto in writing.

 

  3.9 Stipulation to Commencement Date: Once the Commencement Date is
established as hereinabove provided, the Tenant, at Landlord’s request, shall,
together with Landlord, execute and deliver a written stipulation and agreement
confirming the actual date of commencement of the initial term of this Lease and
the actual date of termination of the initial term of this Lease. This
stipulation and agreement shall become a part of this Lease as though it was
included as part hereof originally.

  4.1 Tenant shall pay to Landlord during the initial and any extended or
renewal Term of this Lease, if any, without demand and without any setoff,
deduction or counterclaim whatsoever, the Base Annual Rent, the Rent for the

Parking Spaces, if any, and all such other money as shall become due hereunder
as Additional Rent, as they may be adjusted from time to time as herein
provided, together with all applicable sales or rental taxes thereon, all of
which are sometimes herein collectively called “Rent.” All Rent payable by
Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall be paid in lawful money of the United States.

 

  4.2

The Base Annual Rent for each calendar year or portion thereof during the
initial and any extended or renewal Term of this Lease, if any, and all

(12) equal monthly installments on the first day of each calendar month during

however, if the Commencement Date is other than the first day

 

Landlord’s Initial:                      Tenant’s Initial:                     

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

of a month, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord on the Commencement Date the
prorated amount of Rent attributable to and for the month in which the
Commencement Date occurs. Tenant agrees to pay all such sums in advance, and
without demand, deduction, setoff or counterclaim.

 

  4.3 Tenant shall pay such Rent and any adjustments thereto to Landlord at
Landlord’s address provided herein (or such other address as may be designated
by Landlord in writing from time to time).

 

  4.4 If the term of this Lease commences on a day other than the first day of a
calendar month, or terminates on a day other than the last day of a calendar
month, then the installments of Rent and any adjustments thereto for such month
or months, shall be prorated, based on the number of days in such month or
months.

 

  4.5 Any installment of Rent not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate
of twelve percent (12%) per annum, but in event higher than permissible under
Florida law. Any payments of Rent or other amounts to be paid by Tenant
hereunder received by Landlord more than ten (10) days after such payments are
due will also be assessed a late payment charge and penalty equal to five
percent (5%) of the amount due. The Landlord does not intend to charge the
Tenant any interest or late charges, which separately or in combination, exceed
the maximum lawful amounts permitted to be charged by Florida law. If such
interest or late charges, separately or in combination, paid to Landlord by
Tenant shall exceed the maximum lawful amounts allowable under Florida law, then
such excess shall be credited against the next installment of Rent due hereunder
or, if this Lease has then expired or been terminated, shall be promptly repaid
to Tenant. This provision shall not prevent Landlord from declaring the
non-payment of Rent when due or the non-payment of any other amounts to be paid
by Tenant hereunder when due an event of default.

 

  4.6 Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as Additional Rent upon demand all
charges for any services, goods or materials furnished by Landlord at Tenant’s
written request which are not required to be furnished by Landlord under this
Lease without separate charge or reimbursement.

 

  4.7 Intentionally Omitted.

 

  4.8 Tenant shall pay all sales, rental and other taxes levied or assessed
against all or any Rent payments due, payable or received under this Lease
simultaneously with the payment of each Rent payment required hereunder.

 

  4.9

Chattel Pledge: Tenant hereby pledges with and assigns unto the Landlord all the
furniture and fixtures, goods and chattels of the said Tenant, which may be
brought or put on said Premises, as security for the payment of Rent herein
reserved, and agrees that the Landlord’s lien for the payment of Rent may be
enforced by distress, foreclosure or otherwise, at the option of the said
Landlord, and Tenant agrees that such lien is granted to the Landlord and vested
in said Landlord, and the Tenant further agrees that in case of the failure of
said Tenant to pay the Rent herein when the

 

Landlord’s Initial:                      Tenant’s Initial:                     

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

same shall become due, and it becomes necessary for the Landlord to collect Rent
by suit or through an attorney, or should Landlord employ an attorney because of
the breach of any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in this Lease,
the Tenant will pay the Landlord reasonable attorney’s fees, legal assistant
fees and paralegal fees, together with all costs and charges incurred by,
through or in connection with such collection or in any other suit or action or
appeal which may be brought in any Court because of a breach of any terms,
covenants or agreements contained in this Lease.

 

  4.10 Notwithstanding anything herein contained or implied to the contrary or
any omission herein (a) the Tenant shall pay the Landlord the Base Annual Rent,
the specified rent for any parking spaces rented by Tenant as provided for in
this Lease, and the Additional Rent for the entire period included with the
initial and any extended or renewal terms of this Lease, and (b) the Tenant’s
liability for all Rent, Additional Rent and other sums due Landlord hereunder
shall survive the early termination of this Lease as a result of Tenant’s
default.

 

5. ELECTRICITY AND EXTRA SERVICES:

 

  5.1 Tenant hereby agrees to pay Landlord for all costs and charges
attributable to its use of electric current at the Demised Premises within ten
(10) days of receipt of a statement setting forth such amount. Landlord shall
issue to Tenant a monthly statement of the charges reflecting Tenant’s electric
charges based upon the meters installed at the Building. Failure by Tenant to
pay to Landlord the amounts set forth on such statement within ten (10) days of
receipt shall (a) be a default hereunder (b) the amount owned shall bear
interest at the rate set forth in Section 4.5 above, and (c) shall entitle
Landlord to all remedies available to it under this Lease, at law or in equity.
Within ten (10) days of the date hereof, Tenant agrees to deposit with the
Landlord the sum of TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED and No/100 ($2,500.00) DOLLARS
(the “Electric Security”) as security for the any and all electric changes
payable by Tenant. In the event Tenant does not pay Landlord for its electric
charges as set forth above, Landlord may draw down on the Electric Security. In
the event Landlord draws down on the Electric Security, Tenant shall immediately
replenish such Electric Security so that it once again is in the amount of
$5,000.

 

  5.2 Any “extra services” provided by Landlord to Tenant such as security
occasioned by Tenant’s use of the Tenant’s Building in excess of the normal
business hours for the Tenant’s Building shall be paid for entirely by Tenant,
and the amount of the charges shall be determined by Landlord in Landlord’s
reasonable judgment and discretion.

 

  5.3 Tenant shall also pay for all additional costs and expenses paid or
incurred by Landlord as a result of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation,
rule, or other mandate from any governmental entity whatsoever, that forces
Landlord to make additional improvements or modifications to the Demised
Premises or to systems, machinery, appliances or equipment serving only the
Demised Premises. 5.4 The liability of the Tenant to the Landlord for all
amounts due under this Section 5 shall survive the expiration or termination of
this Lease.

9. ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS:

 

  9.1 No structural changes or non-structural changes in excess of $50,000,
alterations, improvements or additions shall be made to the Premises or Building
or any part thereof by Tenant without first obtaining the written consent of
Landlord which may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion and
judgment, and, if given may be given subject to such terms and conditions as
Landlord may deem necessary or desirable, in Landlord’s sole discretion and
judgment. Tenant hereby agrees that any alterations, improvements, or additions
to the Premises or Building shall be undertaken only by a general contractor
approved by Landlord in writing. All changes, alterations, additions and
improvements made or placed in or upon the Premises, and which by operation of
law would become a part of the real estate, shall immediately upon being made or
placed thereon become the property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be
surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof, at the termination by lapse of
time or otherwise, of the Term of this Lease. Any such changes, alterations,
improvements, or additions shall be done in strict conformity with the “Building
Standard Criteria” attached as Exhibit D. At Landlord’s request, at or prior to
termination of the Term, Tenant shall promptly remove all or any part of any
such changes, alterations, improvements or additions made by Tenant to the
Premises, promptly repair any damages resulting from such removal and restore
the Premises to their original condition as of the Commencement Date. Landlord
acknowledges that Tenant shall not be obligated to remove any Alterations,
fixtures or equipment which are affixed to the Demised Premises and were in
place on the Commencement Date.

 

  9.2 Fixtures: Tenant may install or affix to the Premises such equipment and
trade fixtures as are reasonably necessary for the conduct of Tenant’s business
operations therein but only with Landlord’s prior written consent; and, upon
termination of this Lease for any reason, other than Tenant’s default, Tenant
may remove the same provided that, after such removal, Tenant immediately
restores the Premises at Tenant’s expense to the same condition as existed prior
to the installation of such equipment or fixtures normal wear and tear excepted.
It is understood and agreed, however, that any floor and wall coverings or other
appurtenances attached to the floor or any part of the Premises by Tenant shall
at the termination of this Lease or any renewal hereof, remain the property of
Landlord and shall not be removed. Tenant shall promptly pay and discharge and
shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless of and from, all tangible personal
and other property taxes and assessments now or hereafter taxed, assessed,
imposed, or levied by any lawful authority against or upon any fixtures,
equipment, or other personal property of Tenant located in or on the Premises
during the term of this Lease.

otherwise encumber this Lease or the leasehold interest granted hereby, or any
interest therein, or permit the use of the Premises or any part thereof by any

  15.1 Tenant shall provide, install and maintain, at its own cost and expense,
a sign on the facade of the Demised Premises, provided that such installation

roofing bond and/or other guarantee which shall then be in force and effect.
Such sign and/or any other exterior sign, advertisement or notice and its/their
placement on the Building must be approved by Landlord in writing before
installation and must conform to all applicable rules, regulations, codes and

exterior of the Tenant’s Building. However, Tenant agrees that only one business
or trade name may appear on the exterior of the Tenant’s Building and that the
execution of this Lease Agreement neither entitles Tenant to have its name
appear on the exterior of the Tenant’s Building nor does it entitle Tenant to
have the option of leasing such signage, which shall be made available to Tenant
on an availability basis and at Landlord’s sole discretion. Tenant’s continued
rent obligation and other obligations hereunder are not affected by the signage
on the exterior of the Tenant’s Building or the Building and Landlord may change
the signage on the Tenant’s Building or the Building at any time in Landlord’s
sole discretion without notice to Tenant.

the Leased Premises and the interior thereof, including without limitation all
interior partitions, floor coverings, wall coverings, fixtures and all doors,
interior and exterior, and all equipment serving the Premises, and shall, at
Tenant’s own cost and expense, keep them in good working order and sanitary
condition and repair and shall promptly make all repairs and replacements to the
same to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord, except for usual and ordinary
wear and tear by reasonable use and occupancy; and at the end or other
expiration of the Term, shall deliver up the Premises in the same condition as
received, ordinary wear and tear by ordinary use thereof only excepted. Landlord
may, but shall not be obligated to, make any repairs which are not promptly made
by Tenant and charge Tenant for the cost thereof as Additional Rent. Tenant, at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall operate, maintain, repair and replace all
systems within and serving only the Leased Premises including but not limited to
all utilities, HVAC, electrical and plumbing systems. Tenant shall contract with
a qualified HVAC service contractor to periodically service (which shall include
changing of filters) the HVAC system as recommended by the HVAC manufacturer.

 

  16.2 Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to the satisfaction of
Landlord, promptly repair any damage and replace any destruction to the
Premises, the Tenant’s Building, the Building or the Project or any part thereof
caused by Tenant or Tenant’s Representatives, agents, customers, clients,
patients, invitees or guests.

 

  16.3 Maintenance, Repair and Replacement of Common Areas: Landlord shall,
subject to and except as provided in Section 1.16, maintain, repair and replace
the Project Common Areas and the Building Common Areas and Service Areas in
good, clean, sanitary condition and repair. All costs and expenses of such
maintenance, repair and replacement shall either be part of the Project
Operating Costs and Expenses or Building Operating Costs and Expenses, as the
case may be, as defined by and except as otherwise provided in Section 5.
Landlord represents that the Building’s mechanical systems will be in good
working order on the Commencement Date and that it shall repair and replace such
systems subject to and except as provided in Section 16.1.

 

  16.4 Landlord shall attempt to perform such maintenance, repairs and
replacement with reasonable dispatch but shall not be liable to Tenant for any
damages direct, indirect or consequential or for damages for personal
discomfort, illness or inconvenience of Tenant by reason of failure of any
equipment, machinery, facilities, systems or utilities serving such areas of the
Premises or delays in the performance of such maintenance, repairs or
replacements unless caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of
Landlord, its employees, contractors or agents.

 

  16.5 No set-off: Tenant waives all rights (whether statutory or otherwise) to
make repairs at the expense of Landlord, to cure any alleged defaults by
Landlord in making repairs at the expense of Landlord, or to deduct the cost
thereof from rent or other sums due Landlord hereunder.

17. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION:

 

  17.1 In the event of damage or destruction of all or any portion of the
Demised Premises, Tenant shall immediately notify the Landlord thereof. If such
damage causes any material portion of the Demised Premises to be untenantable
for more than twenty (10) consecutive business days, then Tenant may terminate
this Lease upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Landlord.

 

  17.2 If the Demised Premises are damaged or destroyed by fire, or other cause
not resulting from an act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Representatives, to
the extent that such damages cannot be repaired or rebuilt within one hundred
twenty (120) days of casualty, Landlord shall have the option of either
(i) repairing, reconstructing and restoring such damage or destruction using all
available insurance proceeds or terminating this Lease or (ii) not rebuilding
and terminating of this Lease. Landlord shall notify Tenant of the option
selected by Landlord within thirty (30) business days after such damage or
destruction. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant of the selected option, Tenant
shall notify Landlord of such failure to select. If Landlord fails to select an
option within ten (10) days after such notice, such failure to select shall be
deemed an election to not rebuild and to therefore terminate this Lease. If
Landlord elects to terminate the Lease, all Rent, Additional Rent and other sums
due from Tenant hereunder shall be prorated as of the date of the casualty. In
the event Landlord elects to proceed with the repair, reconstruction and
restoration (a) all proceeds from insurance policies covering the Tenant’s
Improvements and maintained by Tenant shall be paid to Landlord and used in such
repair, reconstruction and restoration, and (b) all such work shall be completed
within one hundred eighty (180) business days from the date of Landlord‘s notice
to Tenant, subject to delays by causes beyond Landlord‘s reasonable control. If
Landlord exercises the option to repair, reconstruct and restore, the Demised
Premises shall be substantially restored to their prior condition and appearance
substantially in accordance with the initial plans and specifications subject to
changes required by changes in applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes,
rules and regulations. In the event of such damage or destruction and the
election by Landlord to repair, reconstruct and restore, then, provided Tenant
has not terminated the lease pursuant to Section 17.1, this Lease shall continue
in full force and effect, but if such damage or destruction shall be so
extensive that Tenant is unable to occupy all or any portion of the Demised
Premises and conduct Tenant’s business therein, then the Base Annual Rent, but
not the Additional Rent, shall equitably and proportionately abate until the
damage or destruction has been repaired by Landlord and possession of the
Demised Premises tendered to Tenant. In the event, however, Tenant can continue
to occupy and conduct its business in a portion of the Demised Premises, but is
deprived of the use and occupancy of a part or parts of the Demised Premises as
a result of such damage or destruction, then the Base Annual Rent, but not the
Additional Rent, shall be equitably abated, in proportion to the portion of the
Net Rentable Area of the Demised Premises that Tenant is unable to use and
occupy, until the damaged or destroyed portion of the Demised Premises is
repaired or restored.

  17.3 If the damage or destruction is caused by the act or omission of Tenant
or Tenant’s Representatives, then this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect and there shall be no abatement of Rent, Additional Rent or any other
sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder.

 

  17.4 In the event of insubstantial damage or destruction to the Demised
Premises or to the Building Common Areas or of insubstantial or substantial
damage to or destruction of the Project Common Areas or portions thereof, then
such damage or destruction shall be repaired, reconstructed and restored by
Landlord, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and there shall be
no abatement of Rent, Additional Rent or any other sums payable by Tenant to
Landlord hereunder.

 

  17.5 Damage to or destruction of other portions of the Building outside of the
Tenant’s Building, other than the availability of Tenant’s reserved parking
spaces as set forth on Exhibit J, shall not affect this Lease Agreement or
relieve Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder.

 

  17.6 Notwithstanding anything herein contained or implied to the contrary
(a) if Landlord is obligated to or elects to repair, reconstruct or restore the
Demised Premises after damage or destruction Landlord shall be obligated, at
Landlord’s expense, to repair, reconstruct or restore only those portions or
parts of the Demised Premises that were originally constructed or provided by
Landlord at Landlord’s expense and Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall be
obligated to pay for the cost of repairing, reconstructing or restoring those
portions or parts of the Demised Premises that were originally constructed or
provided at Tenant’s expense; and (b) Landlord shall not be obligated to repair,
reconstruct or restore the Demised Premises, if the damage or destruction occurs
during the last eight months of the initial or any extended or renewal term of
this Lease (unless the term has been properly extended or renewed by Landlord
and Tenant prior to the casualty) or if any mortgagee fails or refuses to make
insurance proceeds or any part of insurance proceeds available to Landlord for
the repair, reconstruction or restoration.

 

  17.7 Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, Tenant’s Representatives or
others for any damage (compensatory, consequential or otherwise) that they or
any of them may suffer or incur as a result of any such damage or destruction to
the Demised Premises, the Tenant’s Building, the Building or the Project Common
Areas.

thereof which is not released or transferred within five (5) days of notice ; or

 

  j. Any transfer, assignment, subletting or encumbering of Tenant’s interest
under this Lease or the Premises, by operation of law or otherwise without the
prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall be in the sole and
absolute discretion of Landlord; or

as is reasonably necessary provided Tenant is diligently pursuing a cure.

 

19. REMEDIES:

 

  Upon the occurrence of any event or events of default, whether enumerated in

law, at Landlord’s election pursue any one or more of the following remedies
which are not mutually exclusive and are consistent with the laws of the State
of Florida:

this Lease immediately due and payable forthwith and take action to recover and
collect the same either by distress or otherwise.

 

Landlord’s Initial:                      Tenant’s Initial:                     

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  19.2 Terminate Tenant’s right to possession under this Lease and re-enter and
take possession of the Premises, and relet or attempt to relet the Premises, or
any part thereof, on behalf of and as the agent of Tenant, at such rental and
under such terms and conditions as Landlord may, in the exercise of Landlord’s
sole and absolute discretion, deem best under the circumstances for the purpose
of reducing Tenant’s liability, and Landlord shall not be deemed to have thereby
accepted a surrender of the Premises, and Tenant shall remain liable for all
rental, additional rent and all other sums due under this Lease and for all
damages suffered by Landlord because of Tenant’s breach of any of the covenants
of this Lease. Landlord shall apply any rentals received from such reletting
first to the expenses of Landlord, if any, incurred by re-entering and placing
the Premises in condition for reletting, and then to the payment of rentals due
hereunder and other obligations of Tenant to Landlord arising under this Lease.
If Landlord is successful in reletting the Premises at a rent in excess of that
agreed to be paid by Tenant, Landlord and Tenant each mutually agree that Tenant
shall not be entitled, under any circumstances, to such excess rent, and Tenant
does hereby waive any claim to such excess rent. At any time during such
repossession or reletting, Landlord may, by delivering written notice to Tenant,
elect to exercise its option under the following subparagraph to accept a
surrender of the Premises, terminate and cancel this Lease, and retake
possession and occupancy of the Premises on behalf of Landlord.

 

  19.3 Termination and Possession: Declare this Lease terminated, whereupon the
term herein granted and all right, title, and interest of Tenant in and to the
Premises shall end. Such termination shall be without prejudice to Landlord’s
right to enforce the collection of any rental, additional rental or other sums
due or accrued at the termination thereof, and for such time as shall be
required to evict Tenant, together with all other damages suffered by Landlord
as a result of Tenant’s default. Upon such termination Landlord shall have the
right immediately to re-enter the Premises and take possession thereof, and
Tenant shall thereupon be deemed to have surrendered the Premises to Landlord.

 

  19.4 Tenant’s Account: Pay or perform any obligation of Tenant for Tenant’s
account, without prejudice to any other right or remedy of Landlord. All
damages, costs and expenses so incurred by Landlord, including any interest,
penalties and attorneys’ fees, shall be due and payable to Landlord on demand.

 

  19.5 Landlord’s Lien: Enforce by any available procedure a Landlord’s lien
upon any or all of Tenant’s equipment, furnishings, furniture trade fixtures,
inventory, and other personal property of Tenant situated on, affixed to, or
kept on the Premises; Tenant hereby grants Landlord an express Landlord’s lien
upon all such property for the furtherance thereof, Tenant agrees to execute and
record such UCC-1 financing statements as Landlord may deem necessary to perfect
its Landlord’s lien.

  19.6 Legal Proceedings:

 

  a. THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL, AND THEY HEREBY DO, WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THE PARTIES HERETO
AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY
CONNECTED WITH, THIS LEASE, THE PROJECT, THE DEMISED PREMISES AND/OR ANY CLAIM
OF INJURY OR DAMAGE;

 

  19.7 Acceptance of Late Payments: The receipt and acceptance by Landlord of
delinquent rent shall not constitute a waiver of any other default, and it shall
constitute only waiver of timely payment for the particular rent payment
involved. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than
the rent, additional rent, holdover rent (if permitted hereunder) or other sums
due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated
amounts so due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any
letter or other writing accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an
accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without
prejudice to Landlord’s rights to recover the balance of such rent or to pursue
any other right or remedy provided herein or at law or in equity.

 

  19.8 Cumulative Remedies: The remedies of Landlord herein are cumulative and
the election to proceed by forfeiture or surrender or otherwise shall not
preclude the exercise of any other remedies herein described or otherwise
provided by statute or general law, including at law or in equity, at the same
time or in subsequent times or actions.

taxes and assessments that may be levied or assessed against Tenant’s personal
property located in, on or about the Premises and will cause such personal
property to be assessed directly to Tenant. If for any reason said personal

valuation.

of enforcement of this Lease and of collection of any sums due hereunder,
including without limitation attorneys’ fees, legal assistant fees, paralegal
fees, expert witness fees and costs, which may be paid or incurred by prevailing
party; and both parties further agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, legal assistant fees, paralegal fees,
expert witness fees, which may be paid or incurred by the prevailing party in
obtaining a declaration of any of the rights or remedies of the prevailing party
or obligations of such party, whether arising under this Lease or granted,
permitted or imposed by law or otherwise.

 

23. PRIOR AGREEMENTS:

 

  This Lease Agreement supersedes and revokes any and all prior or other oral or
written agreements between the parties relating to the Premises, and all such
agreements between the parties relating to the Premises are hereby merged into
this lease; and no amendment, modification, waiver, release or variation of this
Lease or of any terms or provisions of this Lease, shall be effectual, binding
or valid unless and until the same is reduced to writing and signed by the party
to be charged thereby. No notice, request or demand in this Lease provided for
may be waived except by written waiver thereof signed by the party waiving the
same.

 

24. FLOOR PLANS:

 

  Any floor plan or other plan, drawing or sketch which is attached to or made
part of this Lease, such as Exhibits A or B, is used solely for the purpose of a
reasonable approximate identification and location of the Demised Premises, and
any markings, measurements, dimensions or notes of any kind contained therein
(other than the outline of the Premises as an approximate identification and
location thereof) have no bearing with respect to the terms and conditions of
this Lease. The design, layout, materials, structure or other aspects of the
Buildings and Project may be altered hereafter without affecting Tenant’s
obligations hereunder. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent
or employee of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to
the Premises, the Tenant’s Building, the Building or the Business Park or with
respect to the suitability of the Premises for Tenant’s intended use unless such
are expressly set forth in this Lease. Tenant further acknowledges that no
representations or warranties as to the state of construction or repair of the
Premises, nor promises to alter, remodel, improve, repair, decorate or paint the
Premises, have been made by Landlord, except as specifically set forth herein.

25. NO AUTOMATIC RENEWAL:

 

  There shall be no automatic extension or renewal of the terms of this Lease
except as expressly otherwise agreed in writing by the parties hereto. Tenant
shall have no right to hold over and, if Tenant does so with Landlord’s consent,
same shall be a tenancy from month-to-month terminable at will by either
Landlord or Tenant.

 

26. BUILDING STANDARD CRITERIA:

 

  The Building Standard Criteria are set forth in Exhibit D annexed hereto.

 

27. CONDEMNATION:

 

  If the whole or any part of the Premises shall be taken for public or
quasi-public use by a governmental or other authority having the power of
eminent domain or shall be conveyed to such authority in lieu of such taking,
and if such taking or conveyance shall cause the remaining part of the Premises
to be untenantable and inadequate for use by Tenant for the purpose for which
they were leased, then either Landlord or Tenant may, at its option, terminate
this Lease as of the date Tenant is required to surrender possession of the
Premises by giving written notice of such to the other party within sixty
(60) days of the notice of the taking. Failure to give such notice is waiver of
the rights of termination. If a part of the Premises shall be taken or conveyed
but the remaining part is tenantable and adequate for Tenant’s use, then this
Lease shall be terminated as to the part taken or conveyed as of the date Tenant
surrenders possession; Landlord shall make such repairs, alterations and
improvements as may be necessary to render tenantable the part not taken or
conveyed; and the rent shall be reduced in proportion to the part of the
Premises taken or conveyed. All compensation awarded for such taking or
conveyance shall be the property of Landlord without any deduction therefrom for
any present or future estate of Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord
all of its right, title and interest in and to any such award. However, Tenant
shall have the right to recover from such authority, but not from Landlord, such
compensation as may be separately awarded to Tenant on account of moving and
relocation expenses, depreciation to and removal of Tenant’s property and
Tenant’s business damages.

 

28. SUBORDINATION TO MORTGAGES:

 

  28.1 This Lease is hereby made expressly subject and subordinate at all times
to any and all mortgages or deeds of trust, ground or underlying leases
affecting the Premises, the Building and/or the Project which have been executed
and delivered or which will hereafter be executed and delivered and any and all
extensions and renewals thereof and all modifications thereof, substitutions
therefor and to any and all advances made or to be made under or upon mortgages,
or deeds of trust and notes secured thereby and such, ground or underlying
leases. Provided Tenant has been furnished with a suitable non-disturbance
agreement, Tenant agrees to execute any instrument or instruments which Landlord
may deem necessary or desirable to effect the subordination of this Lease to any
or all such mortgages, deeds of trust, ground or underlying leases provided any
such instrument is true, accurate and not misleading, and in the event that
Tenant shall refuse, after reasonable notice, to execute such instrument or
instruments which Landlord may deem necessary or desirable to effect the
subordination of the Lease to any or all such

 

Landlord’s Initial:                      Tenant’s Initial:                     

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       mortgages, deeds of trust, ground or underlying leases and in the event
that Tenant shall refuse, after reasonable notice, to promptly execute such
instrument or instruments, Landlord may, in addition to any right or remedy
accruing hereunder, terminate this Lease without incurring any liability
whatsoever to Tenant for damages or otherwise and the tenancy hereby granted is
expressly limited accordingly.

 

  28.2 Landlord shall use its best efforts to furnish Tenant with a
non-disturbance agreement from all present and future mortgagees of the Project
in a form approved by the mortgagee(s) and their counsel.

 

  28.3 Tenant shall, in the event of the sale or assignment of Landlord’s
interest in the Tenant’s Building or in the event of any proceedings brought for
the foreclosure of, or in the event of exercise of the power of sale under, any
mortgage made by Landlord coveting the Premises, attorn to the purchaser and
recognize the purchaser as Landlord under this Lease, provided such new Landlord
agrees to assume all Landlord’s obligations under this Lease.

 

       In no event shall any lender or purchaser acquiring the Tenant’s Building
or Project through foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, exercise of the
power of sale, or purchase from Landlord be:

 

  (a) liable for any act or omission of Landlord or any prior landlord;

 

  (b) intentionally omitted;

 

  (c) subject to any offsets or defenses that Tenant might have had against the
Landlord or any prior landlords;

 

  (d) bound by any payment or rent or additional rent that Tenant might have
paid to Landlord or any prior landlords for more than the current month; or

 

     Tenant acknowledges that, prior to entering into an amendment or
modification of this Lease, Landlord must seek Lender’s consent to such
amendment or modification.

 

  28.4 Provided that Landlord has previously notified Tenant of any Lender’s
address for notice, Tenant agrees to give prompt written notice to Lender of any
default by Landlord that would entitle Tenant to cancel this Lease, and agrees
that notwithstanding any provision of this Lease, no notice of cancellation
thereof given on behalf of Tenant shall be effective unless Lender has received
said notice and has failed within thirty (30) days of the date of receipt
thereof to cure Landlord’s default, or if the default cannot be cured within
thirty (30) days, has failed to commence and diligently pursue the cure of
Landlord’s default which gave rise to such right of cancellation. Tenant further
agrees to give such notices to any successor of Lender, provided that such
successor shall have given written notice of Tenant of its acquisition of
Lender’s interest in the Mortgage and designated the address to which such
notices are to be sent.

  28.5 Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may execute and deliver to any Lender
an Assignment of Leases and Rents pledging this Lease and the rent and other
sums due under this Lease as additional security for the loan secured by the
Mortgage, and Tenant hereby expressly consents to such Assignment.

 

  28.6 Tenant agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of
Lender, do any of the following, and any such purported action without such
consent shall be void as against Lender:

 

  (a) modify this Lease or any extensions or renewals thereof in such a way as
to reduce the Rent, accelerate Rent payments, shorten the original term or
change any renewal option;

 

  (b) terminate this Lease except as provided by its terms; or

 

  (c) tender or accept a surrender of this Lease or make prepayment in excess of
one month of rent thereunder.

 

  28.7 The foregoing provisions shall be self-operative and effective without
the execution of any further instruments on the part of any Lender or Tenant.
However, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to any Lender or to any person to
whom Tenant herein agrees to attorn such other instruments as either shall
request to effectuate said provisions.

 

  28.8 If Tenant should fail to execute any subordination or other agreement
required by this Section, promptly as requested, Tenant hereby irrevocably
appoints Landlord as its attorney-in-fact to execute such instrument in Tenant’s
name, place and stead, it being agreed that such power is one coupled with an
interest.

 

29. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

 

  29.1 Within fifteen (15) days after request of Landlord, Tenant shall deliver
to Landlord a duly executed certificate stating the Termination Date, the
Monthly Rent, the amount of any prepaid rent and security deposits, the fact
that this Lease is in full force and effect, the fact that this Lease is
unmodified (or if modified, the date and specific terms of the modification),
the fact that Landlord is not in default (or if a default exists, the specific
nature thereof) and such other true, accurate and non-misleading facts as
Landlord may reasonably request and acknowledgments of any provision of the
Lease. Failure to timely deliver same shall be conclusive evidence that the
Termination Date and Monthly Rent are as set forth herein, no rent has been paid
in advance, there is no security deposit, and that there are no modifications or
Landlord’s defaults. Such certificate will be relied on by Landlord, lenders,
prospective lenders or prospective purchasers.

  Landlord agrees that Tenant, upon paying the Monthly Rent, all Additional Rent
and all other sums and charges then due and upon performing all the covenants,
agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease to be performed by
Tenant, shall enjoy peaceful and quiet possession of the Premises during the
term of this Lease without any manner of hindrance from Landlord or persons
claiming by, through and under Landlord.

 

31. PARKING SPACES:

 

  31.1 Tenant shall have the right to use the Base Number of Unreserved Parking
Spaces in common with the other tenants in the Business Park. The Base Number of
Unreserved Parking Spaces Tenant may use shall be determined by the Net Rentable
Area of the Demised Premises. Landlord estimates that Tenant shall be entitled
to use four (4) Unreserved Parking Spaces per one thousand (1,000) square feet
of Net Rentable Area of the Demised Premises. Tenant shall not be entitled to
use any Unreserved Parking Spaces for any increment of Net Rentable Area of less
than one thousand (1,000) square feet.

 

  31.2 Additional Unreserved Parking Spaces, beyond the number of Unreserved
Parking Spaces allotted to Tenant as specified in Section 31, may be able to be
leased by Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that the availability of such additional
parking spaces is limited and that additional parking spaces shall be offered to
Tenant on an as available basis only, in Landlord’s sole discretion.

 

  31.3 Tenant may be able to lease Reserved Parking Spaces. The Reserved Parking
Spaces may be made available to Tenant only on an as available basis and will be
leased to Tenant in Landlord’s sole discretion. Tenant agrees that each Reserved
Parking Space that Tenant leases shall proportionately reduce the number of
Parking Spaces that Tenant is entitled to use under Section 31.1 hereinabove.
Tenant acknowledges that it has been allotted 308 Reserved Parking Spaces, as
more fully described in Exhibit J attached hereto and which may be adjusted in
Landlord’s sole discretion from time to time, provided such change shall not
materially alter the location and number of parking spaces, and, therefore, the
Base number of Unreserved Parking Spaces has been reduced to zero (0). Landlord
represents that in the event that up to twenty (20) parking spaces become
available at a location in the Project south or west of the Demised Premises,
such spaces shall be designated for Tenant’s use.

 

32. LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO ALTER COMMON AREAS:

 

  Without abatement or diminution in Rent, Landlord reserves and shall have the
right upon fifteen (15) days advance notice to Tenant to change the street
address and/or the name of the Project, the Building or the Tenant’s Building
and/or change or alter the entrances, passageways, doors, doorways, corridors,
stairs, toilets, or other common or service areas of the Tenant’s Building, the
Building or the Project without liability to Tenant.

the earliest stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any
check or any letter accompanying a payment as rent be deemed an accord and
