         D. Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

         E. Tenant shall vacate or abandon the Leased Premises for a period of
thirty (30) days.

     29. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES: Upon default by Tenant, Landlord, at its
         -------------------
discretion, may then exercise any one or more of the following options:

         A. Terminate this Lease, remove all persons and property from the
Leased Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise, and take possession of the
Leased Premises, all without prejudice to Landlord's right to collect from
Tenant any Base Rental, or other sum which became payable to Landlord prior to
such termination, together with all damages suffered by Landlord resulting from
Tenant's default hereunder;

         B. Re-enter and take possession of the Leased Premises by any lawful
means, make alterations and repairs to the Leased Premises, and relet or attempt
to relet the Leased Premises, on behalf of Tenant and for Tenant's account, at
such rent and under such terms and conditions as Landlord may deem best under
the circumstances for the purpose of, in good faith, reducing Tenant's liability
hereunder, and Landlord shall not be deemed to have thereby accepted a surrender
of the Leased Premises, and Tenant shall remain liable for all damages suffered
by Landlord because of Tenant's default under this Lease; it being understood
that at any time during such repossession or reletting, Landlord may, by
delivering written notice to Tenant, elect to exercise its option to accept a
surrender of the Leased Premises, terminate this Lease, and retake possession of
the Leased Premises on behalf of Landlord;

         C. Landlord may declare the entire remaining unpaid rent and other
charges due hereunder (discounted to the net present value computed with a ten
(10%) percent discount rate) to be immediately due and payable, and take such
action available to Landlord to recover and collect same and seek to mitigate
Tenant's damages by reletting as described in Paragraph B above; or

         D. Exercise any and all rights and privileges and pursue any remedy
that Landlord may have under the laws of the State of Florida. No default
whatsoever of this Lease shall be deemed waived or any term, condition or
covenant herein varied, nor shall the Landlord's failure or delay to take
advantage of any default constitute a waiver of the Landlord's right thereby nor
any subsequent or continued breach of any requirement of this Lease. All
remedies provided for in this Lease shall be in addition to, and not in
substitution for, any remedies otherwise available to Landlord, at law or in
equity, including, but without limitation, any and all rights of Landlord to a
lien for Rent upon Tenant's furniture, fixtures, equipment and Leasehold
Improvements.

     30. LIENS:
         -----

         A. Tenant agrees that Tenant, after the date of initial occupancy, will
pay all liens of contractors, subcontractors, mechanics, laborers, materialmen
and other liens of like character, and will indemnify Landlord against all legal
costs and charges arising by virtue of Tenant repairing, altering, adding to, or
improving the Premises, bond premiums for release of liens, including reasonable
attorneys fees reasonably incurred (whether litigation is necessary or not) and
discharging the Leased Premises or any part thereof from any liens, judgments,
or encumbrances caused or suffered by Tenant. It is understood and agreed
between the parties hereto that the costs and charges above referred to shall be
considered as additional rent. The foregoing shall not be deemed to authorize
any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements by Tenant.

<PAGE>

         B. The Tenant herein shall not have any authority to create any liens

installation, alteration, or repair of improvements on or to the Leased
Premises, and all materialmen, contractors, mechanics, and laborers are hereby
charged with notice that they must look to the Tenant to secure the payment of
any bill for work done or material furnished during the rental period created by

party is in default and/or such other information regarding the Lease as may be
reasonably appropriate and factual, upon which any third parties to whom such
estoppel certificates are provided may rely. If requested by the holder of any
mortgage on the Building, Tenant agrees to give written notice to such lender of
any default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease together with a reasonable
period of time to cure such default.

     34. DEFAULT BY LANDLORD: In the event Landlord shall default hereunder,
         -------------------
Tenant shall not be authorized to withhold rent or terminate this Lease unless
otherwise authorized herein, or unless Landlord has been adjudicated in default
by a court of competent jurisdiction, and Tenant has obtained a final,
non-appealable judgment against Landlord, in which event Tenant shall be
authorized to withhold rent and offset its rent payments against the amount due
and owing Tenant by Landlord pursuant to the judgment. Tenants remedies
hereunder shall be limited to the institution of suit against Landlord for any
damages resulting from such default.

     35. ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This Lease and the Exhibits attached hereto

<PAGE>

extensions or renewal hereof which may be affected in accordance with the terms

without the execution of any further instruments upon the Transferee succeeding
