(e)  Fluorescent and incandescent bulb replacement in the Common Areas.




(f)  Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any security whatsoever for the Complex, Common Areas, Parking Facility, the Premises and/or Tenant's business therein. Tenant does hereby acknowledge and agree that it shall provide and be solely responsible for its own security, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, as may be required for the operation of Tenant's business within the Premises and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, its employees, agents, invitees, or licensees for losses due to theft or burglary, or for damages done by unauthorized persons in the Premises, Common Areas, Parking Facility, or the Complex or for any injury, trauma or other harm to any person (except if caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents), and neither shall Landlord be required to insure against any such losses. Tenant shall be responsible for all repairs and replacements of damage and/or destruction of the Premises necessitated by burglary or attempted burglary, or any other illegal or forcible entry into the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges and agrees Landlord may, but will not be required to, adopt and provide security services for the Complex from time to time. Tenant shall cooperate fully in any efforts of Landlord to maintain security in the Complex and shall follow all rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord with respect thereto. However, any security services that are voluntarily undertaken by Landlord may be changed or discontinued from time to time in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, without liability to Tenant, its employees, agents, customers and invitees. Tenant waives any claims it may have against Landlord arising out of any security services provided by Landlord, or the inadequacy or absence thereof, specifically including Landlord's negligence with respect to the providing or failure to provide such services.




The failure by Landlord to any extent to furnish, or the interruption or termination of these defined services, in whole or in part, resulting from causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, shall not render Landlord liable in any respect nor be construed as an eviction of Tenant, nor work an abatement of rent, nor relieve Tenant from the obligation to fulfill any covenant or agreement hereof. Should any of the equipment or machinery used in the provision of such services for any cause cease to function properly, Tenant shall have no claim for offset or abatement of rent or damages on account of an interruption in service occasioned thereby or resulting therefrom.




Except as may be specifically provided for herein to the contrary, no abatement, diminution or reduction of Base Rent or any Additional Rent, or any other charges or compensation, shall be claimed by or allowed to Tenant, or any persons claiming under Tenant, under any circumstances, whether for inconvenience, discomfort, interruption of business or otherwise, arising from any cause or reason.

Landlord shall have the right at any time to change the name of the Building or the Complex and to install, affix and maintain any and all signs on the exterior and on the interior of the Building as Landlord may, in Landlord's sole discretion, desire. Tenant shall not use the name of the Building or use pictures or illustrations of the Building in advertising or other publicity or for any purpose other than as the address of the business to be conducted by Tenant in the Premises, without the prior written consent of Landlord (which will not be unreasonably withheld).

In no event shall Landlord be responsible for the maintenance or repair of improvements that are not composed of Building Grade construction or materials. It is further agreed that this Lease is made by Landlord and accepted by Tenant with the understanding that Landlord shall have the right and privilege to make and build additions, alterations and repairs to the Building, the Complex and Common Areas as it may deem wise and advisable without any liability to the Tenant therefor.

Tenant shall give Landlord a copy of the maintenance contract as requested by Landlord, and in any event Tenant shall give Landlord a copy of the maintenance contract prior to occupancy, and shall give LandlOrd a copy of a new maintenance contract or written evidence of the renewal or extension of the maintenance contract not less than 30 days prior to the expiration of same. Tenant shall give Landlord copies of all inspection reports for the HVAC systems within 10 days after receipt of same by Tenant. All repairs to such HVAC systems and equipment serving solely the Premises that are not covered by any such maintenance contracts shall be the responsibility of Tenant. Tenant's responsibilities hereunder shall include any repairs that are required to be made during the Lease Term by any Legal Authority having jurisdiction thereof whether the same is ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, or which are required to comply with any Legal Requirement (including, without limitation, the ADA) hereafter adopted or otherwise made applicable during the Lease Term, or which Landlord may deem reasonably necessary or desirable to prevent waste or deterioration in connection with the Premises.




(b)  Tenant agrees not to commit or allow to be committed any waste on any portion of the Premises or Complex and, at the termination of this Lease, to deliver up the Premises to Landlord in as good condition as at the date of delivery by Landlord of the Premises to Tenant, minus normal wear and tear and subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 11, 22, and 23 hereof. Tenant covenants and agrees with Landlord, at Tenant's own cost and expense, to repair or replace any damage done to the Premises, Building or Complex, or any part thereof, caused by Tenant or Tenant's agents, contractors, employees, invitees, or visitors, and such repairs shall restore the same to as good a condition as it was in prior to such damage, and shall be effected in compliance with all Legal Requirements.




(c)  Nothing contained in this Lease shall imply any duty on the part of Landlord to do any work that Tenant is required to perform nor shall it constitute a waiver of Tenant's default in failing to do the same. Notwithstanding any other terms of this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall have the right, in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, with notice to Tenant except in the case of emergency in Landlord's reasonable judgment, to perform any of the repairs, maintenance and/or replacements described in this Lease to be performed by Tenant (including Tenant's failure to properly perform such obligations in Landlord's sole opinion), whereupon Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord, as Additional Rent, in the performance thereof, upon Tenant's receipt of a bill therefor. Tenant shall have the obligation to make repairs, maintenance or replacements to any area of the Complex or to the Premises that are made necessary by any act, omission or negligence of Tenant, its agents, employees, assignees, concessionaires, contractors, invitees or licensees. Landlord's performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease shall be without liability to Tenant for any loss or damage that may accrue to Tenant's merchandise, fixtures or other property or to Tenant's business by reason thereof. The term "repairs," as used in this Lease, shall mean all maintenance, repairs, and replacements, of whatever kind.

  (b) Upon the occurrence of any of the Events of Default enumerated above, or any other event of default by Tenant under this Lease Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies: (i) terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord; (ii) terminate Tenant's right to occupy the Premises and re-enter and take possession of the Premises (without terminating this Lease); (iii) Landlord shall have the right, with or without terminating or canceling this Lease or Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, to declare all amounts and Rent due under this Lease for the remainder of the Lease Term (or any extension or renewal thereof) to be immediately due and payable, and thereupon all rents and other charges due hereunder to the end of the Lease Term (or any extension or renewal term, if applicable) shall be accelerated; but such accelerated amount shall be discounted to the then present value at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of the district within which the Premises is located; (iv) Landlord may elect to enter and repossess the Premises and relet all or part of the Premises for Tenant's account, for a term or terms which may, at Landlord's option, be equal to, less than, or greater than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease Term, holding Tenant liable in damages for all expenses incurred in any such reletting including, without limitation, any Tenant improvement allowance, expenditures in connection with renovation, maintenance, repairs and/or alterations for the new tenant, broker's commissions, legal fees, etc. and for any difference between the amount of rent received from such reletting and the Rent due and payable under the terms of this Lease; (v) enter upon the Premises and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease, and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for any expense which Landlord may incur in effecting compliance with Tenant's obligations under this Lease, and Tenant further agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting to the Tenant from such action; and (vi) exercise all other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, including, without limitation, injunctive relief of all varieties.
  In the event Landlord elects to re-enter or take possession of the Premises after Tenant's default, Tenant hereby waives notice of such re-entry or repossession. Landlord may make such alterations and/or decorations in the Premises as Landlord, in Landlord's sole discretion, considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of reletting, securing or maintaining the Premises. Landlord, in addition to all other rights and remedies it may have, shall have the right to keep in place and use all of the inventory, furniture, fixtures, equipment and other personal property in the Premises and/or remove any or all of Tenant's property from the Premises which may then be sold, disposed of, or stored at the cost of and for the account of Tenant. Landlord shall not be responsible for the care or safekeeping of any such property and Tenant waives any claim against Landlord relating thereto. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlord's part to terminate this Lease unless written notice of such intention is given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination of this Lease, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease. In any event, Landlord shall not be liable for, nor shall Tenant's obligations hereunder be diminished by reason of, any failure by Landlord to relet the Premises or any failure by Landlord to collect any sums due upon such reletting, and the refusal, failure or inability of Landlord to relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof shall not release or affect Tenant's liability for damages, the Tenant hereby specifically waiving any duty on the part of. Landlord to mitigate damages that may otherwise be imposed by law. Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying said Premises or any part thereof. In addition, the provisions of Paragraph 26 hereof shall apply with respect to the period from and after the giving of notice of such termination to Tenant. All of Landlord's remedies shall be (collectively, a "Mortgage"), and Tenant agrees that any Mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate such Mortgage to this Lease on such terms and subject to such conditions as Mortgagee may deem appropriate in its discretion. The terms of this Lease are subject to approval by Mortgagee, and such approval is a condition precedent to Landlord's obligations under this Lease. Landlord is hereby irrevocably vested with full power and authority to subordinate this Lease to any Mortgage now existing or hereafter placed upon the Premises, or the Building, the Complex or the Property, and Tenant agrees upon demand to execute such further instruments (collectively, "Subordination Instrument") subordinating this Lease or attorning to the holder of any such Mortgage as Landlord may request. In the event that Tenant should fail to execute the Subordination Instrument promptly as requested, Tenant hereby irrevocably constitutes Landlord as its attorney-in-fact to execute the Subordination Instrument in Tenant's name, place, and stead, it being agreed that such power is one coupled with an interest.
   18
  (b) If a Mortgagee, or any other person claiming under a Mortgage, succeeds to Landlord's interest in this Lease whether by purchase, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, power of sale, termination of lease or otherwise, Tenant will recognize and attorn to said Mortgagee or other person as its Landlord under this Lease. In the event of a termination of any Mortgage, foreclosure or deed in lieu (as applicable), any new owner shall not: (i) be liable for any act or omission of Landlord or with respect to events occurring prior to acquisition of ownership to the extent applicable to the period prior to the date such new owner succeeds to Landlord's interest under this Lease; (ii) be subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against Landlord to the extent applicable to the period prior to the date such new owner succeeds to Landlord's interest under this Lease; or (iii) be bound by prepayment of more than one month's Rent.
  28. Estoppel Certificates.Tenant agrees that it will from time to time within 10 days of each request by Landlord, execute and deliver to such persons as Landlord shall request, a statement (each, a "Tenant Estoppel Certificate") in recordable form certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as so modified), stating the dates to which Rent and other charges payable under this Lease have been paid, stating that Landlord is not in default hereunder (or if Tenant alleges a default, stating the nature of such alleged default), and further stating such other matters as Landlord shall reasonably require. Any Tenant Estoppel Certificate may be relied upon by Landlord or any prospective purchaser, Mortgagee, or prospective Mortgagee of the Complex or any portion thereof. If Tenant fails to return a Tenant Estoppel Certificate duly executed and acknowledged, or fails to object to its contents, within said 10 day period, the matters set forth therein shall conclusively be deemed to be correct.
  29. Parking.
  (a) During the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive use in common with Landlord, other Building tenants, other Complex tenants and/or other parties and their respective guests and invitees, of the driveways of and pedestrian access to the Parking Facility and the Property, subject to the Rules and Regulations promulgated by Landlord from time to time. During the Lease Term, Landlord shall at all times provide for: (i) the use of Tenant and its employees (including part-time employees), officers and directors the Parking Spaces in the Parking Facility; and (ii) for Tenant's guests and invitees (but not for Tenant's employees, officers or directors) non-exclusive use of the Parking Facility at the then current charges and fees, it being the intent of the parties that Tenant's employees, officers and directors may occupy no more than the number of unassigned Parking Spaces set forth in Paragraph 1(a) of this Lease. In no event shall Tenant or its employees, guests or invitees or any other party using the Parking Spaces utilize the Parking Spaces for anything other than the parking of vehicles, and no such party shall be entitled to have any maintenance performed on any vehicle while parked in the Parking Facility nor utilize any electrical supplies or any other utilities within the Parking Facility, whether for charging a vehicle or any other purpose. The Parking Spaces shall be subject to a monthly rental charge payable by Tenant to Landlord (or at Landlord's option, to Landlord's contractor managing the Parking Facility) in the initial amount equal to the Cost of a Parking Space for each of the Parking Spaces, the total amount of such parking rental to be payable to Landlord as Additional Rent at the same time and in the same manner as the monthly installments of the cumulative and not exclusive. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an event of default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the maintenance of any action or proceeding to recover possession of the Premises or any Rent or any other monies that may be due or become due from Tenant to Landlord shall not preclude Landlord from thereafter instituting and maintaining subsequent actions or proceedings for the recovery of possession of the Premises or of any other Rent or monies that may be due or become due from Tenant. Any entry or re-entry into the Premises by Landlord shall not be deemed to absolve or discharge Tenant from liability under this Lease.
  19
   25.  Peaceful Enjoyment.
  (a)  Tenant may peacefully have, hold, and enjoy the Premises, subject to the other terms of this Lease, provided that Tenant timely pays the Rent and other sums herein recited to be paid by Tenant, and timely performs all of Tenant's covenants and agreements contained in this Lease. Landlord shall be entitled to cause Tenant to relocate from the Premises to a comparable space (a "Relocation Space") within the Complex at any time upon 30 days prior written notice to Tenant. The costs of the physical relocation of Tenant shall be at the expense of Landlord or the third party tenant replacing Tenant in the Premises. Such a relocation shall not terminate or otherwise affect or modify this Lease except that from and after the date of such relocation, the "Premises" shall refer to the relocation space into which Tenant has been moved, rather than the original Premises as herein defined.
  (b)  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, should Landlord determine that an emergency exists that threatens the Complex, Building or any of the tenants or persons therein, or any of their property (e.g. an impending hurricane, a bomb threat to the Complex), including but not limited to emergencies caused by persons or natural conditions outside of Landlord's control, Landlord shall have the right to close the Complex and require all tenants, including Tenant, to evacuate the Complex until such emergency ceases to exist. Such closure shall not affect Base Rent, any other Rent or the Lease Term.
  26. Surrender; Holding Over.This Lease shall terminate at 11:59 p.m. on the day of the expiration of the Lease Term without the necessity of notice from either Landlord or Tenant. Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease (or such other time as Tenant may vacate the Premises, notwithstanding that so vacating may constitute a default), Tenant shall peacefully surrender, quit and vacate the Premises and deliver up same to Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Lease and in good order, condition and repair, as the same shall be on the date Tenant opens for business in the Premises, or the date any subsequent improvements to the Premises are completed, damage by fire or other insured casualty for which Landlord has received the applicable proceeds excepted, broom clean, with all trash removed. Tenant shall also deliver to Landlord all keys to the Premises and shall inform Landlord of all combinations and codes on any locks, alarms, safes and vaults in the Premises. In the event of holding over by Tenant after expiration or other termination of this Lease, or in the event Tenant continues to occupy the Premises after the termination of Tenant's right of possession, Tenant shall, throughout the entire holdover period, pay Rent equal to twice the Base Rent and Additional Rent which would have been applicable had the Lease Term continued through the period of such holding over by Tenant. No holding over by Tenant after the expiration of the Lease Term shall be construed to extend the term of this Lease, and Tenant shall be deemed to be a tenant-at-sufferance during such holdover period. If, as a result of Tenant's holding over in the Premises after expiration or other termination of this Lease, Landlord suffers damages or incurs additional obligations to any third party who has leased part or all of the Premises, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord to the extent of such damages or additional obligations, including without limitation Landlord's attorneys' fees.
   20
  27.  Subordination to Mortgage; Attornment.
  (a) Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease, or other lien presently existing or hereafter arising upon the Premises, or upon the Building, the Complex or the Property and to any renewals, refinancing and extensions thereof or of any ground leases Base Rent. The said monthly rental rate for the Parking Spaces shall be subject to change at any time and in the event of non-payment thereof, Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies provided hereunder with respect to a default by Tenant. The rental charge reflected by the Cost of a Parking Space is the rental amount charged by Landlord for each of the Parking Spaces and does not include reasonable fees related to the control of the ingress and egress of the Parking Facility, such as the cost of actual parking cards for Tenant's employees, invitees, guests, officers and directors which will be charged to Tenant in addition to the Cost of a Parking Space for each of the Parking Spaces. If Landlord implements a system whereby tenants of the Complex are provided the opportunity to acquire access cards to the Parking Facility, Tenant shall have the right to acquire, at the rates charged therefor by Landlord, no more access cards than the number of Parking Spaces designated in Subparagraph 1(a). If Tenant fails to pay for such parking charges when due, then, in addition to all rights and remedies provided Landlord in this Lease and/or at law and/or in equity, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, cease to provide any such access card(s) to Tenant. Such access card(s), if any, shall only be provided as a means of access to the Parking Facility by Landlord and Landlord does not guarantee the availability of parking space(s) (whether or not access cards are provided). Tenant shall provide Landlord with a current, complete and accurate list of automobile license numbers assigned to Tenant's cars and cars of its employees and shall forthwith provide Landlord an update thereof as and when any changes occur. In the event that Tenant or its employees and contractors park their cars in areas other than designated employee parking areas (which may be all or in part located in any off-site Parking Facility), then Landlord, after giving notice to Tenant of any such violation, shall have the right to charge Tenant $50.00 per day per car parked in any areas other than those designated. In the event Landlord deems it necessary to tow any cars parked in violation of this Paragraph 29, Tenant shall be responsible for all towing charges, impound fees, and all other charges and fees incurred in connection therewith, and Landlord shall not have, and Tenant does hereby expressly release Landlord of, any liability and/or claim in connection with any such towing. Tenant shall notify each of its employees of the provisions of this Paragraph prior to their commencing any employment at the Premises.
  (b)  In the event that for any reason whatsoever Landlord is not permitted by governmental law, ordinance, or otherwise to charge monthly rent for the Parking Spaces as provided in this Paragraph, then the Base Rent shall be increased by an amount equal to the total annual parking rental otherwise payable by Tenant.
  (c)  Landlord shall have a right to designate the location of Tenant's parking and alter such designation upon reasonable notice to Tenant. Landlord makes no guarantee that any of the Parking Spaces will be located in a covered parking area. Landlord shall also have the right to establish or modify the methods used to control parking in the Parking Facility, including, without limitation, the installation of certain control devices or the hiring of parking attendants or a managing agent or the installation of a valet parking system.
  (d)  Landlord shall have no liability for any property damage or personal injury which may occur as a result of, or in connection with, the use of the Parking Spaces or the Parking Facility by Tenant, its employees, agents, invitees, and licensees (except for damage or injury caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees or agents); and Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all costs, claims, expenses, or causes of action which Landlord may incur in connection with or arising out of Tenant's use of the Parking Spaces and the Parking Facility.
  (e)  In the event of a sale of Landlord's interest in the Parking Facility separate and apart from the remainder of the Complex to a successor in interest who expressly assumes the obligations of Landlord with respect to the Parking Spaces, Landlord shall be released and discharged from all of its covenants and obligations with respect to the Parking Spaces and Tenant agrees to look solely to such successor of Landlord for performance of such obligations. Landlord's sale, assignment or transfer of Landlord's interest in the Parking Facility shall in no manner affect Tenant's obligations.
   21
  30. Attorneys' Fees.If any action or proceeding is commenced in which Landlord intervenes or is made a party by reason of being the Landlord under this Lease or if Landlord shall deem it necessary to engage attorneys or institute any suit against Tenant in connection with the enforcement of Landlord's rights under this Lease, the violation of any term of this Lease, the declaration of Landlord's rights hereunder or the protection of Landlord's interests under this Lease, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord's costs and expenses incurred as a result thereof, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and paralegals' fees, provided that in the event of any litigation between the parties under this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the other party full reimbursement of such prevailing party's reasonable attorneys' and paralegals' fees and costs incurred therewith, whether such fees or costs are incurred before, during, or after any trial or administrative proceeding or on appeal or in bankruptcy.
  31.  No Implied Waiver.The failure of Landlord to insist at any time upon the strict performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein or to exercise any option, right, power, or remedy contained in this Lease shall not be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment thereof for the future. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly installment of Rent due under this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest Rent due hereunder, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter 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 right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy in this Lease provided.
  32.    Mortgagee Protection; Landlord's Liability.
  (a)  Ifany Mortgagee shall have given prior notice to Tenant that it isthe Mortgagee thereof and such notice includes the address at which notices to such party are to be sent, then Tenant shall give to said Mortgagee notice simultaneously with any notice given to Landlord to correct any default of Landlord as herein provided, and in such event the Mortgagee shall have an additional 60 days within which to cure or correct such default before Tenant may take any action under this Lease by reason of such default (or if such default cannot be cured or corrected within that time, than such additional time as may be necessary if such Mortgagee has commenced within such 60 days, and is diligently pursuing, the remedies or steps necessary to cure or correct such default, including without limitation commencement of foreclosure proceedings if necessary to effect such a cure) and if necessary to cure such default, shall have access to the Premises before such additional 60 day period shall commence. Any notice of default given Landlord shall be null and void unless simultaneous notice has been given to said Mortgagee. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default under this Lease with respect to any covenant, condition or obligation of Landlord under this Lease until the expiration of 60 days after receipt of written notice of such default from Tenant. If by the nature of such default, the default can not reasonably be cured within said 60 day period, if Landlord has commenced a good faith effort to cure such default within said 60 day period and diligently pursues such cure without interruption until completion, Landlord shall have such time as is reasonable to cure such default.
  (b)  The term "Landlord," as used in this Lease, shall mean only the owner or owners, at the time in question, of the fee title to the Building. In the event of any transfer of such title or interest, Landlord as named in this Lease (and in the case of any subsequent transfers, then the grantor) shall be relieved from and after the date of such transfer of all liability in respect of Landlord's obligations thereafter to be performed, provided that any funds in the hands of Landlord or the then grantor at the time of such transfer, in which Tenant has an interest, shall be delivered to the grantee. The obligations contained in this Lease to be performed by Landlord shall, subject to the above, be binding on Landlord's successors and assigns, only during their respective periods of ownership. The obligations of Landlord under this Lease do not constitute personal obligations of Landlord or the individual partners, shareholders, members, managers, directors, officers, and property managers, and Tenant shall look solely to Landlord's then existing interest in the Building, and to no other assets of Landlord, for satisfaction of any liability in respect of this Lease, and will not seek recourse against the individual partners, shareholders, members, managers, directors, officers, property managers, or any of their personal assets for such satisfaction. No other properties or assets of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution, or other enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of any judgment (or other judicial process) or for the satisfaction of any other remedy of Tenant arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, or Tenant's use of the Premises. Anything to the contrary contained in this Lease notwithstanding, Landlord shall under no circumstances be liable for injury to Tenant's business or for any loss of income, incidental or consequential damages, or profit therefrom or for punitive damages, all of which is expressly waived by Tenant.
   22
  33. Security Deposit.If Paragraph 1(a)(vii) sets forth an amount for the Security Deposit, then the Security Deposit shall be due upon execution of this Lease and shall be held by Landlord without liability for interest and as security for the performance by Tenant of Tenant's covenants and obligations under this Lease, it being expressly understood that the Security Deposit shall not be considered an advance payment of Rent or a measure of Tenant's liability for damages in case of default by Tenant. Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit with Landlord's other funds. Landlord may, from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy, use the Security Deposit to the extent necessary to make good any arrearages of Rent or to satisfy any other covenant or obligation of Tenant hereunder. Following any such application of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount so applied in order to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. If Tenant is not in default at the termination of this Lease, the balance of the Security Deposit shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant following settlement of Tenant's Proportionate Share of Taxes and Operating Expenses for the final calendar year of the Lease Term as provided in Exhibit"C" hereof. If Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises during the Lease Term, Landlord may assign the Security Deposit to the transferee and thereafter shall have no further liability for the return of such Security Deposit.
  34. Notice.Unless otherwise provided in this Lease, all notices and requests required or permitted under this Lease to Landlord or Tenant shall be in writing and shall be addressed to the addresses indicated in this Lease or to any other address that Landlord or Tenant may designate in a notice to the other party given at least 15 days in advance. All notices shall be deemed to be properly served if delivered to the appropriate address by registered or certified mail (with postage prepaid and return receipt requested), courier, express delivery service (such as FEDEX, D.H.L. or similar express services), or by facsimile transmission (provided that there is independent verification of delivery). Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no notice of default, termination or election of any right under this Lease by Tenant (collectively "Material Notices") shall be deemed delivered to, or received by, the receiving party if sent by the sending party only by facsimile. Such Material Notices, if sent by facsimile, must also be sent by any other notice method described in this Paragraph and shall only be deemed received by Landlord pursuant to the provisions applicable to such applicable non-facsimile notice method so utilized. The date of service of a notice served shall be the date of actual receipt or refusal of delivery. If any Mortgagee shall notify Tenant that it is the holder of a Mortgage affecting the Premises, no notice of default thereafter sent by Tenant to Landlord shall be effective unless and until a copy of the same shall also be sent to such Mortgagee in the manner prescribed in this Paragraph and to such address as such Mortgagee shall designate. Until further notice, the address for Tenant and Landlord shall be as set forth in Paragraph 1(a).
  Although the parties may communicate from time to time by email, email correspondence shall not be deemed to be effective notice under this Lease. Notices may be given on behalf of any party by such party's legal counsel. In the event of any litigation under this Lease, the foregoing notice provisions shall in no way prohibit notices from being given as provided in the rules of civil procedure of the State of Florida, as the same may be amended from time to time and any notice so given in any such litigation shall constitute notice herein.
  35. Severability.If any term or provision of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Lease shall be otherwise valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

  39. Time of Performance.Except as expressly otherwise herein provided, with respect to all required acts of Tenant, time is of the essence of this Lease.

Landlord has advised Tenant that Landlord has contracted with the Landlord's Broker as its broker, which entity may be related to Landlord, and Tenant has contracted with Tenant's Broker, which entity may be related to Tenant, and Landlord shall be responsible for any commission due Landlord's Broker and Tenant's Broker in connection with this transaction pursuant to a separate written agreement.
  41.  Effect of Delivery of This Lease.Landlord has delivered a copy of this Lease to Tenant for Tenant's review only, and the delivery hereof does not constitute an offer to Tenant or option to lease. This Lease shall not be effective until a copy executed by both Landlord and Tenant is delivered to and accepted by Landlord.
  42. Exhibits.All of the Exhibits are incorporated herein and made a part of this Lease for all purposes.
  43. Captions; Construction.The Paragraph captions used herein are for convenience and reference only and in no way add to or detract from the interpretation of the provisions of this Lease.

  (b)  Base Rent for each month during the Option Term shall be at a rate equal to the amount that a willing, comparable, renewal tenant with a renewal right at market would pay and a willing, comparable, landlord of a comparable office building in the market area would accept at arm's length, giving appropriate consideration to tenant improvements, brokerage commissions and other applicable terms and conditions of the tenancy in question (the "Prevailing Market Rate"). Within thirty (30) days following Tenant's delivery of the notice exercising the applicable Option Term, Landlord shall advise Tenant of the Prevailing Market Rate on a rentable square foot basis as of the beginning of the applicable Option Term. Within twenty (20) days of receipt of Landlord's notice and determination, Tenant shall advise Landlord, in writing, whether or not Tenant accepts or rejects the Prevailing Market Rate proposed by Landlord. Tenant's failure to accept or reject in writing the Prevailing Market Rate proposed by Landlord within such twenty (20) day period shall be deemed rejection by Tenant, and this Lease shall end on the expiration date of the then-current Lease Term. If Tenant rejects the rate specified by Landlord, \Tenant's rights under this section shall be null and void. If Tenant accepts such rate in writing, then the Base Rent during the applicable Option Term shall be said Prevailing Market Rate.
  (c)  The leasing of the Premises by Landlord to Tenant for any Option Term shall be upon and subject to all of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Lease, except that (i) once an Option Term is exercised by Tenant, the number of Option Terms remaining shall not include that Option Term, and if only one Option Term is granted or if Tenant exercises the last of multiple Option Terms, the renewal rights granted by this section shall not apply, so that in no event shall Tenant have the right to renew and extend this Lease beyond the last Option Term; (ii) the Base Rent payable during the applicable Option Term shall be the Prevailing Market Rate determined in accordance with the terms above; (iii) Tenant shall accept the Premises in their then "AS IS" condition, and Landlord shall not be required to perform any tenant finish or other work to the Premises or to provide Tenant any tenant finish allowance or other allowance or inducement with respect to the Premises; and (iv) the defined term "Lease Term" shall be deemed to include any Option Term when and if it becomes effective. Once Tenant shall exercise an Option Term in accordance with the terms and conditions of this section, such Option Term shall become effective as provided herein automatically and without the necessity of further documentation; but nevertheless, at Landlord's request, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute an amendment to this Lease in form and substance acceptable to both of them, reflecting the leasing of the Premises for the applicable Option Term. There shall be no renewal rights except as set forth in this section.

 OPERATING EXPENSES
  I.Payment of Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses.
  A. In addition to the Base Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as "Additional Rent" an amount equal to Tenant's Proportionate Share of the sum of the Operating Expenses (hereinafter defined) and the Taxes (hereinafter defined) in excess of the Base Year Expense Stop for each calendar year, which amount shall be prorated for any partial calendar year at the beginning or end of the Lease Term.
  As used herein the term:
  (i) "Operating Expenses" means all expenses, costs and disbursements, of every kind and nature which Landlord shall pay or become obligated to pay because of or in connection with the ownership, operation, leasing, securing, maintenance and management of the Building, the Complex and Common Areas (excluding such expenses to the extent they relate solely to the Parking Facility) and land on which all of the foregoing are located. By way of explanation and clarification, but not by way of limitation, these Operating Expenses will include the following:
  (a)  Wages and salaries of all employees engaged in operation, maintenance, and security of the Building and the Complex, employer's social security taxes, unemployment taxes or insurance, and any other taxes which may be levied on such wages and salaries, the cost of disability and hospitalization insurance, pension or retirement benefits, and any other fringe benefits for such employees;
  (b)  All supplies and materials used in operation and maintenance of the Building or the Complex;
  (c)  Cost of all utilities, including without limitation water, sewer, electricity, gas and fuel oil used by the Building or the Complex and not charged directly to another occupant;
  (d)  Cost of Building and Complex management, including management fees and office rental, janitorial services, accounting and legal services, rental and other payments under the Ground Lease or any other ground lease, trash and garbage removal, servicing and maintenance of all systems and equipment including, but not limited to, elevators, plumbing, heating (if provided), air conditioning, ventilating, lighting, electrical, security, fire and other alarms, fire pumps, fire extinguishers and hose cabinets, mail chutes, guard service, alarm system, painting, window cleaning, landscaping and gardening, any maintenance or service agreements, landscape maintenance, elevator, and heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning service;
  (e) Cost of all insurance relating to the Building and the Complex and Landlord's personal property used in connection therewith including, without limitation, casualty and liability insurance applicable to the Building and the Complex and Landlord's personal property used in connection therewith;
  (f)   Cost of capital improvements to the extent they are depreciated over their deemed useful life; and,
  (g)   Costs arising from implementation of Legal Requirements of Legal Authorities.
   
  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following expenses shall not be Operating Expenses:
  (a)  The cost of mortgage financing, interest or amortization payments on any mortgage payment;
  (b)  the costs of repairs incurred by reasons of fire or other casualty or condemnation to the extent that Landlord is compensated therefor through proceeds of insurance or condemnation awards;
  (c)  all other expenses for which Landlord has received reimbursement (such as by insurance and by other tenants of the Building) except as additional rent under comparable provisions in this Subparagraph of this Exhibit to the Lease;
  (d)  income or franchise taxes or such other taxes imposed upon or measured by Landlord's net income for the operation of the Building;
  (e)  electricity costs or overtime HVAC costs, if charged separately to and actually
  paid by any other tenant in the Building;
  (f) Taxes;
  (g)  the cost of any additions to the Building that result in a larger building; and
  (h)  Taxes and insurance costs associated with the Parking Facility, effective from and after the date, if at all, Landlord sells the Parking Facility to a third party and excludes same from the Complex, except to the extent Landlord retains any obligations therefor, including without limitation costs of maintenance of common areas between the Complex and the Parking Facility.
  (ii) "Taxes" means all impositions, taxes, surcharges, assessments (special or otherwise), water and sewer charges and rents, and other governmental liens or charges of any and every kind, nature and sort whatsoever, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen, including all taxes whatsoever (except only those taxes of the following categories: any inheritance, estate succession, transfer or gift taxes imposed upon Landlord or any income taxes specifically payable by Landlord as a separate tax paying entity without regard to Landlord's income source as arising from or out of the Complex) attributable in any manner to the Complex, or the rents receivable therefrom or any part thereof, or any use thereof, or any facility located therein or thereon or used in conjunction therewith or any charge or other payment required to be paid to any governmental authority. Pursuant to the Ground Lease, Landlord is obligated to increase its payments under the Ground Lease if and to the extent that the Property is exempted from any tax obligations because of the fact that the Property is owned by the City of Miami Beach, and the term "Taxes" shall be deemed to mean and include all such increases in Ground Lease payments.
  Landlord shall notify Tenant within 60 days after the end of each calendar year hereafter ensuing or earlier during the Term, of the amount which Landlord estimates (as evidenced by budgets prepared by or on behalf of Landlord) will be the amount of Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes for the then current calendar year and Tenant shall pay such sum in advance to Landlord in equal monthly installments, during the balance of said calendar year, on the first day of each remaining month in said calendar year commencing on the first day of the first month following Tenant's receipt of such notification. Following the end of each calendar year during the Term hereof, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a statement showing the actual amount which should have been paid by Tenant with respect to Operating Expenses and Taxes for the past calendar year, the amount thereof actually paid during that year by Tenant and the amount of the resulting balance due thereon, or overpayment thereof, as the case may be. Within 30 days after receipt by Tenant of said statement, Tenant or its designee shall have the right in person to inspect Landlord's books and records, at Landlord's office, during Normal Business Hours, after 4 days' prior written notice, showing the Operating Expenses and Taxes for the Complex for the calendar year covered by said statement. Said statement shall become final and conclusive between the parties, their successors and assigns as to the matters set forth therein unless Landlord receives written objections with respect thereto within said 30 day period. Any balance shown to be due pursuant to said statement shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within 30 days following Tenant's receipt thereof and any overpayment shall be immediately credited against Tenant's obligation to pay expected additional rent in connection with anticipated increases in Operating Expenses and Taxes or, if by reason of any termination of the Lease no such future obligation exists, refunded to Tenant.
  
 In determining the amount of Operating Expenses, for the purpose of this Section, if less than 95% of the Complex shall have been occupied by tenants and fully used by them, at any time during the year, Operating Expenses shall be increased to an amount equal to the like operating expense which would normally be expected to be incurred had such occupancy been 95% and had such full utilization been made during the entire period.
  B.  Additional Rent due by reason of the provisions of paragraph A above and this paragraph B for the final months of the Lease is due and payable even though it may not be calculated until subsequent to the termination date of the Lease; the Operating Expenses and Taxes for the calendar year during which the Lease terminates shall be prorated according to that portion of said calendar year that the Lease was actually in effect. Tenant expressly agrees that Landlord, at Landlord's sole discretion, may apply the Security Deposit, if any, in full or partial satisfaction of any additional rent due for the final month of the Lease by reason of the provisions of paragraph A above and this paragraph B. If said Security Deposit is greater than the amount of any such additional rent and there are no other sums or amounts owed Landlord by Tenant by reason of any other terms, provisions, covenants or conditions of the Lease, then Landlord shall refund the balance of said Security Deposit to Tenant as provided in Paragraph 32 of the Lease. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to relieve Tenant, or imply that Tenant is relieved, of the liability for or the obligation to pay any Additional Rent due for the final month of the Lease by reason of the provisions of paragraph A above and this paragraph B if said Security Deposit is less than such, additional rent, nor shall Landlord be required to first apply said Security Deposit to such additional rent if there are any other sums or amounts owed Landlord by Tenant by reason of any other terms, provisions, covenants or conditions of the Lease.
  C.  Any reference in the Lease or any exhibit to the Lease to "Rent" or "rent" includes Base Rent and Additional Rent. Any term that is not defined in any exhibit shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Lease.
  EXHIBIT "D"
  WORK LETTER AGREEMENT
  Tenant accepts the Premises in their "as is, where is" condition and Landlord shall not be obligated to perform any construction of any kind whatsoever within the Premises or the Building or Complex.
  Provided, however, Landlord shall provide Tenant with an allowance in the amount of $14,380.00 (the "Allowance") to be used by Tenant for the sole purpose of replacing the carpet within the Premises and painting the interior walls within the Premises.
