certification of the amounts thereof  to Lessee.  If Lessee has underpaid its
share of Real Estate Taxes, or Operating Expenses for such calendar year, Lessee
shall pay the balance of its share of same within ten (10) days after the
receipt of such statement.  If Lessee has overpaid its share of Real Estate
Taxes, or Operating Expenses for such calendar year, Lessor shall either (i)
refund such excess, or (ii) credit such excess against the most current monthly
installments or installments due Lessor for its estimate of Lessee's share of

($13,080.00), receipt of which is acknowledged hereby by Lessor, which deposit
is to be held by Lessor, without liability for interest, as a security and
damage deposit for the faithful performance by Lessee during the term hereof or
any extension hereof.  Prior to the time when Lessee shall be entitled to the
return of this security deposit, Lessor may co-mingle such deposit with Lessor's
own funds and use such security deposit for such purpose as Lessor may
determine. In the event of the failure of Lessee to keep and perform any of the
terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease during the term hereof or any
extension hereof, the Lessor, either with or without terminating this Lease, may
(but shall not be required to) apply such portion of said deposit as may be
necessary to compensate or repay Lessor for all losses or damages sustained or
to be sustained by Lessor due to such breach on the part of Lessee, including,
but not limited to overdue and unpaid rent, any other sum payable by Lessee to
Lessor pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, damages or deficiencies in the
reletting of Demised Premises, and reasonable attorney's fees incurred by
Lessor.  Should the entire deposit or any portion thereof, be appropriated and
applied by Lessor in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, Lessee
upon written demand by Lessor, shall remit forthwith to Lessor a sufficient
amount of cash to restore said security deposit to the original sum deposited,
and Lessee's failure to do so within five (5) days after receipt of such demand
shall constitute a breach of this Lease.  Said security deposit shall be
returned to Lessee, less any depletion thereof as the result of the provisions
of this paragraph, at the end of the term of this Lease. Lessee shall have no
right to anticipate return of said deposit by withholding any amount required to
be paid pursuant to the provisions of this Lease or otherwise.

     4.02     In the event Lessor shall sell the Premises, or shall otherwise
convey or dispose of its interest in this Lease, Lessor may assign said security
deposit or any balance thereof to Lessor's assignee, whereupon Lessor shall be
released from all liability for the return or repayment of such security deposit
and Lessee shall look solely to said assignee for the return and repayment of
said security deposit.  Said security deposit shall not be assigned or
encumbered by Lessee without the written consent of Lessor, and any assignment
of encumbrance without such consent shall not bind Lessor.

Premises as described in Article 3.01 of this Lease.  Lessor agrees to uniformly
enforce all such rules and regulations upon all occupants of the building.


ARTICLE 6 - UTILITIES

     6.01     Lessee shall pay for all utilities used at the Demised Premises

resulting from any act or omission of the Lessor or any other cause whatsoever,
except where caused by the negligence of the Lessor.

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
Lessor of any defects in the HVAC system. If Lessee does not notify Lessor
within ten (10) days, Lessee is deemed to have accepted the premises in As Is
condition. Not withstanding the above, Lessor shall inspect the HVAC system
prior to Lessee's occupancy of the Premises and Lessor shall warrant the HVAC
system for a period of one (1) year from the scheduled Commencement date. In
addition, Lessee shall maintain, repair and replace, if necessary, all lighting
and plumbing fixtures and equipment, fixtures, motors and machinery, all
interior walls, partitions, doors and windows, including regular painting
thereof, all exterior entrances, windows, doors and the replacement of all

all such repairs made by the Lessee shall be equal in quality and class to the
original work. The Lessee shall keep and maintain all portions of the Demised
Premises and sidewalk and areas adjoining the same in a clean and orderly
condition, free of accumulation of rubbish.

b.   If Lessee fails, refuses or neglects to maintain or repair the Demised
Premises as required in this Lease within 30 days (or such longer period as is
reasonably necessary to complete the required work) after notice shall have been
given Lessee, in accordance with Article 17.02 of this Lease, Lessor may make
such repairs without liability to Lessee for any loss or damage that may accrue
to Lessee's merchandise, fixtures or other property or to Lessee's business by
reason thereof, except to the extent caused by Lessor's negligence or willful
misconduct, and upon completion thereof, Lessee shall pay Lessor all reasonable
costs plus 10% for overhead incurred by Lessor in making such repair upon
presentation to Lessee.  Lessor shall repair, at its expense, the structural
portions of the building, provided, however, where structural repairs are
required to be made by reason of the acts of Lessee, the costs thereof shall be
borne by Lessee and payable by Lessee to Lessor upon demand.

c.   The Lessor shall be responsible for all outside maintenance of the Demised
Premises, including grounds and parking areas.  All such maintenance which is
the responsibility of the Lessor shall be provided as reasonably necessary to
the comfortable use and occupancy of the Demised Premises during business hours,
except Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, upon the condition that the Lessor shall
not be liable for damages for failure to do so due to causes beyond its control.
Notwithstanding the foregoing of this subparagraph, all outside maintenance
performed by Lessor shall be deemed "operating expenses" pursuant to Article
2.02 subparagraph b. Lessor shall conduct such maintenance and repairs at such
times and in such manner as will not unreasonably interfere with Lessee's
business or use of the Demised Premises.

     Except as hereinafter provided, Lessee shall not make any alteration,
additions, or improvements in or to the Demised Premises or add, disturb or in
any way change any plumbing or wiring therein without the prior written consent
of the Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  In
the event alterations are required by any governmental agency by reason of the
use and occupancy of the Demised Premises by Lessee,  Lessee shall make such
alterations at its own cost and expense after first obtaining Lessor's approval
of plans and specifications therefore and furnishing such indemnification as
Lessor may reasonably require against liens, costs, damages and expenses arising
out of such alterations. 

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
Alterations or additions by Lessee must be built in compliance with all laws,
ordinances and governmental regulations affecting the Demised Premises and
Lessee shall warrant to Lessor that all such alterations, additions, or
improvements shall be in strict compliance with all relevant laws, ordinances,
governmental regulations, and insurance requirements. Construction of such
alterations or additions shall commence only upon Lessee obtaining and
exhibiting to Lessor the requisite approvals, licenses and permits and
indemnification against liens. All alterations, installations, physical
additions or improvements to the Demised Premises made by Lessee shall be equal
in quality or better than original installation and shall at once become the
property of Lessor and shall be surrendered to Lessor upon the termination of
this Lease; provided, however, this clause shall not apply to movable equipment
or furniture owned by Lessee which may be removed by Lessee at the end of the
term of this Lease if Lessee is not then in default, nor shall it apply to any
fixtures and improvements installed at Lessee's expense if the removal of such
fixtures and improvements (a) is completed under Lessor's strict supervision
after the plan for removal and restoration has been reviewed and approved by
Lessor in writing, in its reasonable discretion, and (b) the actual removal and
restoration is completed by Lessee in conformance with the plan approved by
Lessor and the premises are then suitable for occupancy and use by another
tenant (i.e. with no holes in partitions, no floor areas without matching carpet
or flooring materials, electrical service and HVAC service to all portions of
the Demised Premises, etc.). Lessee shall have the right to install telephone
and computer cable within the Demised Premises as long as said cabling meets all
rules, codes and ordinances. Consent for Lessee to install HVAC and other
interior equipment shall not be unreasonably withheld by Lessor as long as the
equipment does not place unreasonable loads on any building systems.


ARTICLE 9 - POSSESSION AND LIENS

     9.01     POSSESSION:

     Except as hereinafter provided, Lessor shall deliver possession of the
Demised Premises to Lessee in the condition required by this Lease on or before

for work done at Lessee's request.


ARTICLE 10 - INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY


a.   Real and Personal Property Insurance.
     ------------------------------------ 

     (1) Lessor's property.  Except as noted below, Lessor shall bear all risks
         -----------------                                                     
of loss or physical damage to the building, the Demised Premises and the common

<PAGE>
 
damage to any alterations, additions or fixtures installed by Lessee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such loss sustained by Lessor is caused by
the negligence of Lessee, its agents, servants, employees, licensees, invitees
or guests, then Lessee shall be liable to Lessor for the amount of the
deductible under Lessor's insurance, up to a maximum of $25,000.

     In order to properly insure against the risks described above, during the
term of this lease the following insurance coverage shall be carried and paid
for by Lessor as part of the operating expenses for the project;
          (a) Fire and extended coverage insurance covering the building and
Demised Premises against loss or damage by fire and against loss or damage by
other risks now or hereafter embraced by "all-risk coverage," in the amounts
equal to the full replacement cost of the building.

value due to any risk insured above, including extended coverage endorsement, in
an amount not less than 180 days of rental payments due for the building and the
Demised Premises.

     (2) Lessee's property.  All personal property belonging to Lessee or to
         -----------------                                                  
Lessee's agents, servants, employees, licensees, invitees or guests which is
located in or about the building or the Demised Premises shall be there at the
sole risk of Lessee or such other person.  Neither Lessor nor its agents shall
be liable for any damage to either the person or the property of Lessee, or for
the loss of or interruption to business, or for the loss of or damage to any
property of Lessee, by theft or from any other cause whatsoever including, but
not limited to, loss or damage  resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster,
steam, gas, electricity, water, rain or leaks from any part of the Demised
Premises or from the pipes, appliances or plumbing works, or from the roof,
street or subsurface or from any other place or by dampness or by any other
cause of whatsoever nature, unless caused by the negligence of Lessor, its
agents, servants, employees, licensees, invitees or guests.  Neither Lessor nor
its agents shall be liable for any loss or damage caused by other tenants, if
any, or persons in the Demised Premises, or caused by operations in the
construction of any private, public or quasi-public work. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any such loss sustained by Lessee is caused by the negligence of
Lessor, its agents, servants, employees, licensees, invitees or guests, then
Lessor shall be liable to Lessee for the amount of the deductible under Lessee's
insurance, up to a maximum of $25,000.  It is expressly agreed that it shall be
the sole obligation of Lessee to insure, at its expense, any and all property of
any nature whatsoever of Lessee's located on the Demised Premises.

     (3) Waiver of subrogation.  Except as provided above in respect to the
         ---------------------                                             
deductible under their respective insurance policies, Lessor and Lessee hereby
waive any and all rights which they may have against the other and hereby
release each other from all liability or responsibility to the other or anyone
claiming through or under them by way of subrogation or otherwise, for any loss
or damage to the Demised Premises, the Buildings, the Common Areas or any
property therein caused by fire or other casualty, even if such fire or other
casualty was caused by the fault or negligence of the other party, their
respective agents, servants, employees, licensees, invitees or guests.  All fire
and extended coverage insurance policies carried by the respective parties on
the Demised Premises, the Buildings, the Common Areas or any property therein
shall allow the insured to waive its right of subrogation against the other
party prior to loss.

b.   Public Liability Insurance.
     -------------------------- 

     (1) Lessee's liability.  Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify, protect, save
         ------------------                                                   
and hold harmless Lessor, its respective representatives,  agents, servants and
employees from and against any and all loss, cost and expense arising out of or
connected with the use or occupancy of the Demised Premises or the Common Areas
by Lessee and/or by any of Lessee's representatives, agents, servants,
employees, licensees, invitees or guests pursuant to this lease which use or
occupancy results in any injury, sickness or death, or alleged injury, sickness
or death whatsoever to third persons and/or their property.  In the event that
any such claim is alleged against Lessor and/or its successors or assigns by
anyone arising out of the use or occupancy of the Demised Premises or the Common
Areas by Lessee or by its representatives, agents, servants, employees,
licensees, 

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
invitees or guests, it is expressly understood and agreed that Lessee shall take
over the defense of each and every claim promptly and pay all attorneys' fees,
verdicts, judgements, settlement payments and all other costs and expenses
whatsoever incurred in connection with the defense of all such claims, without
exception, it being expressly understood that Lessee shall be and remain fully
responsible for all such claims and will hold the aforementioned indemnities
completely harmless from and against any cost or expense whatsoever in
connection herewith.

     (2) Lessee's insurance.  During the term of this Lease, and any extension
         ------------------                                                   
thereof, Lessee shall, at its own cost and expense, maintain and provide general
liability insurance coverage for the benefits and protection of Lessee, Lessor
and Lessor's managing agents, as their interests may appear, in an amount no
less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for personal injury, bodily injury
and property damage, or in such greater amounts of insurance coverage as Lessor
may from time to time reasonably require, against liability of Lessee and its
authorized representatives arising out of or in connection with Lessee's use or
occupancy of the Demised Premises or the Common Areas.  Lessor and Lessor's
managing agents shall be named as additional insured parties in all such
insurance policies, as their respective interests may appear.  Such insurance
shall be with a company or companies reasonably acceptable to Lessor and
admitted to do business in the state in which the building is located.  All such
insurance policies shall be maintained by Lessee in full force and effect during
the entire term of this lease and certificates indicating such policies are in
full force and providing for 30 days' written notice to Lessor prior to
cancellation or material change shall be provided to Lessor.  Should Lessee fail
to carry such insurance and furnish Lessor with the required insurance
certificates after notification from Lessor to do so, Lessor shall have the
right to obtain such insurance and Lessee shall pay the cost thereof to Lessor
upon demand.

     (3) Lessor's Liability.  Lessor hereby agrees to indemnify, protect, save
         ------------------                                                   
and hold harmless Lessee, its respective representatives, agents, servants and
employees from and against any and all loss, cost and expense arising out of or
connected with the Buildings, other than Lessee's use or occupancy of the
Demised Premises or the Common Areas by Lessee and/or by any of Lessee's
representatives, agents, servants, employees, licensees, invitees or guests
pursuant to this Lease, which use or occupancy results in any injury, sickness
or death, or alleged injury, sickness or death whatsoever to third persons
and/or their property.  In the event that any such claim is alleged against
Lessee and/or it successors or assigns by any one, other than a claim arising
out of the use or occupancy of the Demised Premises or the Common Areas by
Lessee or by it representatives, agents, servants, employees, licensees,
invitees or guests, it is expressly understood and agreed that Lessor shall take
over the defense of each and every claim promptly and pay all attorneys' fees,
verdicts, judgments, settlement payments and all other costs and expenses
whatsoever incurred in connection with the defense of all such claims, without
exception, it being expressly understood that Lessor shall be and remain fully
responsible for all such claims and will hold the aforementioned indemnities
completely harmless from and against any cost or expense whatsoever in
connection herewith.


ARTICLE 11 - CONSENT REQUIRED

     11.01    Lessee shall not assign this Lease in whole or in part, nor sublet
all or any part of the Demised Premises nor permit others to use the Demised
Premises, without the prior written consent of Lessor, said consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Consent by Lessor to any assignment or
subletting shall not constitute a waiver of Lessor's right to consent to future
subletting.  Notwithstanding any assignment or sublease, Lessee and guarantors
of this Lease, if any, shall remain fully liable on this Lease and shall not be
released from performing any of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this
Lease unless released in writing by the Lessor.

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
ARTICLE 12 - DEFAULT OF LESSEE

     12.01    If Lessee shall default in the payment of the rent reserved
herein, or in the payment of any item of additional rent or other monies due
hereunder or any part of same, then this Lease and the term hereof shall, at the
option and election of the Lessor, wholly cease and terminate upon three (3)
days written notice, unless Lessee cures the payment default within this three
(3) day period.

     12.02    If Lessee shall violate or default any of the other covenants,
agreements, stipulations, or conditions herein, and such violation or default
shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice of such
violation or default shall have been given by Lessor to Lessee, then it shall be
optional for Lessor to declare this Lease forfeited and the said term ended.

     12.03    If Lessor shall declare this Lease forfeited and terminated as
provided for in the preceding paragraphs, at Lessor's option, Lessor may
terminate and end this Lease and re-enter upon the property, whereupon the term
thereby granted, and at the Lessor's option, all right, title and interest in or
under it shall end and Lessee shall become a tenant at sufferance, or else said
Lessor may, at Lessor's option, elect to declare the entire rent for the balance
of the term, or any part thereof, due and payable forthwith, and may proceed to
collect the same either by distress or otherwise, and thereupon said term shall
terminate at the option of the Lessor, or else the said Lessor may take
possession of the premises and rent the same for the account of the Lessee, the
exercise of any of which options herein contained shall not be deemed the
exclusive Lessor's remedy.  The expression entire rent for the balance of the
term as used herein shall mean all of the rent prescribed to be paid by the
Lessee unto the Lessor for the full term of this Lease, excluding any
unexercised options to renew, and less, however, any payments that have been
made on account of and pursuant to the terms of said Lease.

     12.04    Neither this Lease, nor any interest therein, nor any estate
thereby created shall pass to any trustee, receiver or assignee for the benefit
of creditors or otherwise by operation of law.  In the event the estate created
hereby shall be taken in execution or by other process of law, or if Lessee
shall be adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt pursuant to provisions of any state
or federal insolvency or bankruptcy act, or if a receiver or trustee of the
property of Lessee shall be appointed by reason of Lessee's insolvency or
inability to pay its debts, or if any assignment shall be made of Lessee's
property for the benefit of creditors, or if any reorganization preceding under
the federal laws be instituted by or filed against Lessee, then and in any of
such events, Lessor may, at its option, terminate this Lease and all rights of
Lessee herein by giving to Lessee notice in writing of the election of Lessor so
to terminate. In the event of an involuntary bankruptcy, there shall be no
default if such appointment of a trustee or receiver is vacated within thirty
(30) days after such appointment.

     12.05    Lessee hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption
granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Lessee being
evicted or dispossessed for any cause or in the event of Lessor obtaining
possession of the Demised Premises by reason of the violation by Lessee of any
of the covenants or conditions of this Lease or otherwise.

     12.06    ATTORNEY'S FEES:

     The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all reasonable attorney's
fees incurred by him in and about the enforcement or defense of this Lease and
the parties' Lessor/Lessee relationship.

ARTICLE 13 - ACCESS BY LESSOR

     13.01    Lessor or Lessor's agent shall have the right to enter the Demised
Premises at all times, upon reasonable notice of not less than twenty-four (24)
hours, excluding emergency situations, to examine the same and to show them to
prospective purchasers or lessees of the building, and to make such repairs,
alterations, improvements, or additions as Lessor may reasonably deem necessary
or desirable, and Lessor shall be allowed to take all material into and upon
said Demised Premises that may be required thereof without the same constituting
an eviction of Lessee or otherwise.  During the six (6) months prior to the
expiration of the term of this Lease, or any renewal term, Lessor may exhibit
the premises to prospective lessees or purchasers and place upon the Common
Areas (away from the main entrance to the Demised Premises) the usual notices
"TO LET or "FOR SALE", or similar wording, which notices Lessee shall permit to
remain thereon without molestation.  If Lessee shall not be personally present
to open and permit entry into said premises at any time, when for any reason an
entry therein shall be necessary in an emergency, Lessor or Lessor's agents with
reasonable and prudent judgment may enter the same by forcibly entering the same
without rendering Lessor or such agent liable therefore and without in any
manner affecting the obligations and covenants of this Lease.  Nothing herein
contained, however, shall be deemed or construed to impose upon Lessor any
obligation, responsibility, or liability whatsoever, for the care, maintenance,
or repair of the building, or any part thereof, except as otherwise herein
specifically provided.


ARTICLE 14 - LESSEE'S PROPERTY

     14.01    TAXES ON LESSEE'S LEASEHOLD:

     Lessee shall be responsible for and shall pay before delinquency, all
municipal, county, state, and federal taxes assessed during the term of this
Lease against personal property of any kind owned by or placed in, upon, or
about the Demised Premises by the Lessee.

     14.02    NOTICE BY LESSEE:

     Lessee shall give immediate oral and written notice to Lessor in case of
fire or other casualty, or accidents in the Demised Premises, or in the
building, or of defects therein or in any fixtures or equipment. Lessor agrees
to promptly notify Lessee of any such situations discovered or reported by other
tenants which may effect Lessee or its employees.


ARTICLE 15 - HOLDING OVER

     15.01    This Lease and the tenancy hereby created shall cease and
terminate at the end of the original term hereof, or any extension or renewal
thereof, without the necessity of any notice from either Lessor or Lessee to
terminate the same, and Lessee hereby waives notice to vacate the Demised
Premises and agrees that the Lessor shall be entitled to the benefit of all
provisions of law respecting the summary recovery of possession of the Demised
Premises from a Lessee holding over to the same extent as if statutory notice
had been given.

     15.02    Any holding over after the expiration of the term hereof with the
consent of the Lessor shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month at
a rent thirty percent (30%) greater than the base 

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
rent and additional rent herein specified (prorated on a monthly basis), and
shall otherwise be on the terms and conditions hereby specified, so far as
applicable.


ARTICLE 16 - EMINENT DOMAIN

     In the event of any eminent domain or condemnation proceeding or private
sale in lieu thereof in respect to the premises during the term thereof, the
following provisions shall apply.

     16.01    If the whole of the premises shall be acquired or condemned by
eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, then the term of
this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date possession shall be taken in
such proceeding and all rentals shall be paid up to that date.

     16.02    If any part constituting less than the whole of the premises shall
be acquired or condemned as aforesaid, and in the event that such partial taking
or condemnation shall materially affect the Demised Premises so as to render the
Demised Premises unsuitable for the business of the Lessee in the reasonable
opinion of the Lessor, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect but
with a proportionate abatement of the Base Rent and Additional Rent based on the
portion, if any, of the Demised Premises taken. Lessor reserves the right, at
its option, to restore the Building and the Demised Premises to substantially
the same condition as they were prior to such condemnation.  In such event,
Lessor shall give written notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days following the
date possession shall be taken by the condemning authority of Lessor's intention
to restore.  Upon Lessor's notice of election to restore, Lessor shall commence
restoration and shall restore the Building and the Demised Premises with
reasonable promptness, subject to delays beyond Lessor's control and delays in
the making of condemnation or sale proceeds adjustments by Lessor, and Lessee
shall have no right to terminate this Lease except as herein provided.  Upon
completion of such restoration, the rent shall be adjusted based upon the
portion, if any, of the Demised Premises restored.

     16.03    In the event of any condemnation or taking as aforesaid, whether
whole or partial, Lessee shall not be entitled to any part of the award paid for
such condemnation and Lessor is to receive the full amount of such award, the
Lessee hereby expressly waiving any right or claim to any part thereof.

     16.04    Although all damages in the event of any condemnation shall belong
to the Lessor, whether such damages are awarded as compensation for diminution
in value of the leasehold or to the fee of the Demised Premises, Lessee shall
have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority, but not from
Lessor, such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Lessee
in Lessee's own right on account of any and all damage to Lessee's business by
reason of the condemnation and for or on account of any cost or loss to which
Lessee might be put in removing Lessee's merchandise, furniture, fixtures,
leasehold improvements and equipment.  Lessee, however, shall have no claim
against Lessor, nor make any claim with the condemning authority for the loss of
its leasehold estate, any unexpired term or loss of any possible renewal or
extension of said Lease or loss of any possible value of said Lease, or any
unexpired term, renewal or extension.

ARTICLE 17 - MISCELLANEOUS

     17.01    ENTIRE AGREEMENT:

     This Lease and exhibits attached hereto and forming a part hereof set forth
all of the covenants, promises, agreements, conditions or understandings,
whether oral or written between Lessor and Lessee, and no terms or conditions
apply other than those herein set forth.  Except as herein otherwise provided,
no subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Lease shall be
binding upon Lessor or Lessee unless reduced to writing and signed by them.

     17.02    NOTICES:

     Any notice, demand, request, or other instrument which may be or is
required to be given under this Lease shall be delivered in person or sent by

address as the Lessee shall designate by written notice, and (b) if to Lessor,
c/o Garcia, Meyers & Co., 15950 Bay Vista Drive, Suite 250, Clearwater, Florida

the U.S. Postal Service.

     17.03    This Lease shall be construed according to the laws of the State
of  Florida.

     17.04    VENUE:

     Lessee and Lessor hereby agree that in the event either party files a suit
to protect their rights under this Lease, that venue shall be in the Circuit
Court for Pinellas County, Florida. Lessee and Lessor waive any venue rights to
institute suit in a jurisdiction other than in the Circuit Court for Pinellas
County, Florida.

     17.05    RADON GAS:

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


ARTICLE 18 - DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES

     In the event of any damage or destruction to the Premises by fire or other
cause during the term hereof, the following provisions shall apply.

     18.01    If the Building is damaged by fire or any other cause to such
extent that the cost of restoration, as reasonably estimated by Lessor, will
equal or exceed forty percent (40%) of the replacement value of the Building
(exclusive of foundations) just prior to the occurrence of the damage, then
Lessor may, no later than the ninetieth (90th) day following the damage, give
Lessee written notice of Lessor's election to terminate this Lease.  If Lessor
chooses to repair and restore, then Lessor shall do so pursuant to the terms of
Article 18.03.

                                       15
<PAGE>
 
     18.02    If the cost of restoration as estimated by Lessor will equal or
exceed forty percent (40%) of said replacement value of the Building, and if the
Demised Premises are not suitable as a result of said damage for the purposes
for which they are demised hereunder in the reasonable opinion of Lessee, then
Lessee may, no later than the ninetieth (90th) day following the damage, give
Lessor a written notice of election to terminate this Lease.

     18.03    If the cost of restoration as estimated by Lessor shall amount to
less than forty percent (40%) of said replacement value of the Building, or if,
despite the cost, Lessor does not elect to terminate this Lease, Lessor shall
restore the Building and the Demised Premises with reasonable promptness and
within 180 days, subject to delays beyond Lessor's control and delays in the
making of insurance adjustments by Lessor, and Lessee shall have no right to
terminate this Lease except as herein provided.  Lessor shall not be responsible
for restoring or repairing leasehold improvement of the Lessee.

     18.04    In the event of either of the elections to terminate, this Lease
shall be deemed to terminate on the date of the receipt of the notice of
election and all rentals shall be paid up to that date. Lessee shall have no
claim against Lessor for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease.

     18.05    In any case where damage to the Building shall materially affect
the Demised Premises so as to render them unsuitable in whole or in part for the
purposes for which they are demised hereunder, then, unless such destruction was
wholly or partially caused by the negligence or breach of the terms of this
Lease by Lessee, its employees, agents, contractors or licensees, a portion of
the rent based upon the amount of the extent to which the Demised Premises are
rendered unsuitable in Lessor's reasonable opinion shall be abated until
repaired or restored.  If the destruction or damage was wholly or partially
caused by negligence or breach of the terms of this Lease by Lessee as aforesaid
and if Lessor shall elect to rebuild, the rent shall not abate and the Lessee
shall remain liable for the same.


ARTICLE 19 -  SUBORDINATION

     19.01    This Lease shall be subordinated to any mortgages that may exist
or that may hereafter be placed upon the Demised Premises and to any and all
advances made thereunder, and to the interest upon the indebtedness evidence by
such mortgages, and to all renewals, replacements and extensions thereof. Lessor
shall require any holder or holders thereof to execute a non-disturbance
agreement and Lessee agrees to execute a subordination agreement with the holder
thereof which agreement shall provide as follows.

     19.02    Such holder shall not disturb the possession and other rights of
Lessee under this Lease so long as lessee is not in default hereunder.

     19.03    In the event of acquisition of title to the Demised Premises by

Lessee shall, upon receipt of a request from Lessor therefore, execute and
deliver to Lessor or to any proposed purchaser of the Premises, a certificate in
recordable form, certifying that this Lease is in full force and effect, and
that there are no offsets against rent nor defenses to Lessee's performance
under this Lease, or setting forth any such offsets or defenses claimed by

Premises, or the Building in which the Demised Premises are located or in this
Lease, or if the Premises come into custody or possession of a mortgagee or any
other party, whether because of a mortgage foreclosure or otherwise, Lessee
shall attorn to such assignee or other party and recognize such party as Lessor
hereunder; provided, however, Lessee's peaceable possession will not be
disturbed so long as Lessee faithfully performs its obligations under this Lease
and shall not be in default hereunder.  Lessee shall execute on demand  any
attornment agreement required by any such party to be executed, containing such
provisions and such other provisions as such party may require.

Premises, shall cause to be included in this agreement of sale and purchase a
covenant whereby the purchaser of the Demised Premises assumes and agrees to
carry out all of the covenants and obligations of Lessor herein.

     21.02    The Lessee agrees to any time and from time to time upon not less
than five (5) days prior written request by the Lessor to execute, acknowledge
and deliver to the Lessor a statement in writing certifying that this Lease is
unmodified and in full force and effect and if modified, stating the
modifications and the dates to which the basic rent and other charges have been

pursuant to this paragraph may be relied upon by any  prospective purchaser of
the fee or mortgagee or assignee of any mortgage upon the fee of the Demised
Premises.
