EXHIBIT 10.18

 

CVS CORPORATION

1996 DIRECTORS STOCK PLAN

(as amended and restated November 5,
2002)

 

1.                                       PURPOSE

 

The purpose of this Plan
is to afford present and future Directors of CVS Corporation (the “Company”) an
opportunity to secure a stock ownership in the Company, thereby encouraging
them to acquire a direct and long term interest in the growth and prosperity of
the Company and to have the outlook and consideration of an owner of the
Company.  This Plan also permits the
Company to compete with other organizations offering similar plans in
attracting and retaining the services of Directors of exceptional talent who
are able to make important contributions to the Company’s success.

 

2.                                       ADMINISTRATION
OF THE PLAN

 

This Plan shall be
administered by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Subject to the
provisions of the Plan, the Board shall be authorized to interpret the Plan, to
establish, amend, and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan
and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Plan; provided, however, that the Board shall have no
discretion with regard to the selection of individual Directors to receive
stock grants under the Plan.  The Board’s
interpretation of the terms and provisions of this Plan shall be final and
conclusive.  The Board may authorize an
appropriate officer or officers of the Company to execute, on behalf of the
Company, such agreements and other instruments as may be necessary to implement
this Plan.

 

3.                                       ELIGIBILITY

 

Participation will be
limited to individuals who are Eligible Directors as defined herein.  Eligible Director shall mean a Director of
the Company who at the relevant time is not, and, solely for purposes of
Section 5, has not been within the one year period immediately preceding such
time, an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or otherwise eligible for
selection to participate (on a discretionary basis) in any plan of the Company
or its subsidiaries that entitles the participant therein to acquire stock,
stock options or stock appreciation rights of the Company or its subsidiaries.

 

4.                                       SHARES
SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

 

(a)                                Subject
to the adjustments made pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 4, the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value, of the Company
(“Stock”) which may be issued under the Plan shall be 346,460 (after giving
effect to the Company’s June 1998 stock split).

 

(b)                               Any
shares of Stock to be delivered under the Plan shall be made available from
newly issued shares of Stock or from shares of Stock reacquired by the Company,
including such shares purchased in the open market.

 

(c)                                  In
the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock
split, stock dividend or other special, large, and non-recurring non-cash
dividend, or other change in corporate structure affecting the Stock, the
aggregate number of shares of Stock which may be issued under the Plan, the
number of shares automatically granted under the first and second sentences of Section
5, and the number of shares of Stock subject to the later issuance by reason of
previous deferral of payment shall be increased or decreased proportionately,
as the case may be; provided, said number of shares already has been adjusted
to reflect the Company’s June 1998 stock split.

 

5.                                       ANNUAL
STOCK GRANTS

 

Effective as of the end
of each annual meeting of shareholders of the Company, each person who is an
Eligible Director shall be granted an award of 1500 shares of Stock in respect
of the preceding Award Year except that if the Eligible Director was not a
Director of the Company for all of such Award Year, the size of the award shall
be pro rated based on the number of months in such Award Year during which such
Eligible Director was a Director of the Company.  If an

 

 

Eligible Director
retires, resigns, dies or otherwise ceases to be a Director of the Company
prior to the end of the annual meeting of shareholders of the Company, there
shall be granted, effective as of the first day of the month after such
person’s termination of service as an Eligible Director of the Company, an
award of 125 shares of Stock for each month during the Award Year such person
was an Eligible Director.  For purposes
of this Section 5, a part of a month shall be treated as a month and an Award
Year shall mean the period from the first day of the month after an annual
meeting of shareholders of the Company to the beginning of the next annual
meeting of shareholders of the Company.

 

6.                                       DIRECTOR
STOCK COMPENSATION

 

(a)                                  Unless
otherwise elected under paragraph 6(b) by an Eligible Director, the
compensation of each Eligible Director shall be paid one-half in Stock and,
unless otherwise elected under paragraph 6(b) by an Eligible Director, one-half
in cash.  Compensation for this purpose
means annual retainer fees, but shall not include supplemental retainer fees
for committee chair positions and Board and committee meeting fees unless
otherwise elected by the Eligible Director.

 

(b)                                 (i)                                     Each
Eligible Director may elect in accordance with rules established by the Board
and uniformly applied, to receive in Stock any part of such Eligible Director’s
compensation otherwise payable in cash. 
The number of shares of Stock to be issued in lieu of such cash shall be
determined by dividing the average of the high and low sales price of the
Company’s Common Stock on the date the cash is otherwise payable as reported on
the Composite Tape for such day into the cash amount elected to be received in
Stock.  Except to the extent deferred in
accordance with paragraph 6(c), such number of shares shall be rounded down to
the next whole number of shares.

 

(ii)                                  Each
Eligible Director may elect, in accordance with rules established by the Board
and uniformly applied, to receive all or part of such Eligible Director’s
compensation in the form of stock options. 
Each option shall be for a number of shares of Stock determined under a
methodology adopted by the Board, shall have a term of 10 years, shall have an
option price of at least 100% of the fair market value of a share of Stock
(determined by dividing the average of the high and low sales price of the
Company’s Common Stock on the trading date prior to the date of the option
grant), and shall have such other terms and conditions that are established by
the Board.

 

(c)                                  (i)                                     Each
Eligible Director may elect to defer the receipt of shares otherwise currently
payable to such Eligible Director under Sections 5 or 7 or paragraph 6(b)(i) of
this Plan until such Eligible Director terminates service as a Director or such
other date or event as permitted under rules established by the Board and
uniformly applied.  In that event, such
Eligible Director shall be granted an immediate award of share credits equal to
the number of shares of Stock elected to be deferred, including fractional
share credits to not less than three decimal places.

 

(ii)                                  As
soon as practicable after an Eligible Director has ceased being a Director of
the Company or such other date or event elected by an Eligible Director under
paragraph 6(c)(i), all awards shall be paid to the Eligible Director or, in the
case of the death of the Eligible Director, the Eligible Director’s designated
beneficiary or beneficiaries or in the absence of a designated beneficiary, to
the estate of the Eligible Director, in a single payment or installments as
elected by the Eligible Director.

 

(iii)                               (A)                              In
addition to the payment provided for in paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 6,
each Eligible Director (or beneficiary) entitled to payment under this
paragraph 6(c) shall receive at the same time the dividend equivalent amounts
calculated under subparagraph (B) below.

 

(B)                                The
dividend equivalent amount is the number of additional share credits
attributable to the number of share credits originally granted plus additional
share credits previously calculated hereunder. 
Such additional share credits shall be

 

1

 

determined and credited
as of each dividend payment date by dividing the aggregate cash dividends which
would have been paid had share credits awarded or credited (but not yet paid)
under this paragraph 6(c), as the case may be, been actual shares of Stock on
the record date for such dividend by the market price per share of Stock on the
dividend payment date.  For this
purpose, the market price on any day shall be the average of the highest and
lowest sales price of Stock as reported on the Composite Tape for such day,
unless the Board determines that another procedure for determining market price
would be more appropriate.  Fractional
share credits shall be calculated to not less than three decimal places.

 

(iv)                              Payments
pursuant to paragraphs (ii) and (iii) above shall be made in shares of Stock
except that there shall be paid in cash the value of any fractional share.

 

7.                                       RETIREMENT
BENEFITS CONVERSION

 

Each person who is an
Eligible Director as of the end of the annual meeting of shareholders of the
Company at which the Plan is approved shall have the right to elect within 30
days after such meeting on a form prescribed by the Company for such purpose to
waive any and all rights under the Directors Retirement Plan and to receive in
lieu of such rights a grant of shares of Stock.  Unless otherwise elected under paragraph 6(c) by an Eligible
Director, such shares shall be delivered to such Eligible Director as soon as
possible after the end of the 30 day election period.  The number of shares of Stock to be granted in lieu of an
Eligible Director’s benefit rights under the Directors Retirement Plan shall be
calculated by the Company’s actuarial consultants using assumptions that are
reasonable and uniformly applied.

 

8.                                       DELIVERY
OF SHARES; TRANSFER OF SHARES

 

No shares of Stock shall
be delivered under the Plan until the requirements of such laws and regulations
as may be deemed by the Board to be applicable thereto are satisfied.

 

9.                                       GENERAL
PROVISIONS

 

(a)                                  Designation
of Beneficiary.  Each
Eligible Director may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries and may change
such designation from time to time by filing a written instrument of
beneficiaries with the Board on a form to be prescribed by it, provided that no
such designation shall be effective unless so filed prior to the death of such
Eligible Director.

 

(b)                                 Nontransferability.

 

(i)                                     Except
as may be permitted by paragraph 9(a) or paragraph 9(b)(ii), no right to
receive Stock hereunder shall be subject in any manner to anticipation,
alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge and any
such alleged action shall be void and of no effect.

 

(ii)                                  The
right to receive Stock pursuant to a deferral election made in accordance with
paragraph 6(c) or an option granted pursuant to paragraph 6(b)(ii) may be
transferred, without receipt of consideration by the transferor, during the
lifetime of the Eligible Director to one or more transferees who are members of
the Eligible Director’s immediate family or to a trust or other entity
maintained for the benefit of such persons. 
For this purpose “immediate family” means the Eligible Director’s
spouse, parents, children, grandchildren and the spouses of such parents,
children and grandchildren.

 

(c)                                No
Segregation of Cash or Shares. 
The Company shall not be required to segregate any cash or any shares of
Stock which may at any time be represented by Stock grants, share credits or
dividend equivalents.  No Eligible
Director shall have voting or other rights with respect to shares of Stock
prior to the delivery of such shares. 
The Company shall not, by any provisions of this Plan, be deemed to be a
trustee of any Stock or any other property, and the liabilities of the Company
to any Eligible Director pursuant to the Plan shall be those of a debtor
pursuant to such contract obligations as are created by the Plan, and no such
obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or other
encumbrance on any property of the Company.

(d)                               Delaware Law
to Govern.  All questions
pertaining to the construction, regulation, validity and effect of the provisions
of the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware.

 

(e)                                  Withholding
of Taxes.  The Company shall
be authorized to withhold from any payment due under this Plan the amount of
withholding taxes, if any, due in respect of an award or payment hereunder,
unless other provisions satisfactory to the Company shall have been made for
the payment of such taxes.

 

10.                                 AMENDMENTS,
SUSPENSION OR DISCONTINUANCE

 

The Board of Directors
may amend, suspend, or discontinue the Plan, but except as permitted by Rule

                         STANDARD RETAIL LEASE AGREEMENT
                         -------------------------------

         THIS STANDARD RETAIL LEASE AGREEMENT (the "LEASE") is made and entered
into as of the date shown under Item 1 of the Basic Lease Information Rider (the
"BLI RIDER") attached hereto, by and between MARQUESA, INC., a Florida
corporation (the "LANDLORD"), whose address for purposes hereof is 404
Washington Avenue, Suite 120, Miami Beach, Florida 33139, and the tenant shown
under Item 2 of the BLI Rider (the "TENANT"), whose address for purposes hereof
until the commencement of the term of this Lease is the address shown under Item
2 of the BLI Rider and after commencement of the term of this Lease shall be the
"Building" (as hereinafter defined).

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         1. LEASED PREMISES. Subject to and upon the terms, provisions,
covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth, Landlord does hereby lease,
demise and let to Tenant and Tenant does hereby lease, demise and let from
Landlord the premises (the "LEASED PREMISES") in the Shops at Portofino located
at 500 South Pointe Drive, Miami Beach, Florida 33139 (which building, together
with all ancillary improvements appurtenant thereto, is herein called the
"BUILDING"), known by that certain Suite Number set forth in Item 3 of the BLI
Rider. A sketch of the Building is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The rentable
area of the Leased Premises is conclusively defined to be the number of square
feet set forth under Item 4 of the BLI Rider. In addition to the Leased
Premises, Tenant has the right to use the pedestrian walkways, loggia area,
corridors and other areas of the Building provided by Landlord for the general
use of all retail tenants, their officers, agents, employees, invitees,
visitors, licensees and customers (all of the foregoing sometimes referred to as
"COMMON AREAS"). The Common Areas will at all times be subject to Landlord's
exclusive control and management in accordance with the terms and provisions of
this Lease.

         2. TERM. The term of this Lease shall be for the period of time set
forth in Item 5 of the BLI Rider, commencing on the date (the "COMMENCEMENT
DATE") shown under Item 5 of the BLI Rider and ending on the date also shown
under Item 5 of the BLI Rider, unless such term shall sooner cease and expire as
hereinafter provided (herein sometimes called the "TERM" or the "LEASE Term").

         The term "Lease Year" is defined to mean a period of twelve (12)
consecutive calendar months, with the first Lease Year commencing on the
Commencement Date; provided, however, that (i) if this Lease commences on a day
other than the first day of a calendar month then the first Lease Year shall
consist of such fractional month plus the next succeeding twelve (12) full
calendar months, and (ii) the last Lease Year shall consist of the period
commencing from the end of the next preceding Lease Year and ending with the end
of the term of the Lease (whether by expiration of the term or otherwise).

         Upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall join in the execution of an
agreement stipulating to the Commencement Date and the date upon which this
Lease shall terminate. There shall be no delay in the commencement of the Term
and no delay in the payment of Rent (as hereinafter defined) where Tenant fails
to occupy the Leased Premises or if Landlord fails to

<PAGE>

complete any of the Tenant Improvements (as hereinafter defined), if any, nor
shall same operate or extend the Term beyond the agreed expiration date hereof.

         3. BASE RENT.
            ---------

                  (a) From the Rent Commencement Date shown under Item 8 of the
BLI Rider through the end of the Lease Term, Tenant will pay to Landlord as the
base rent for the Leased Premises ("BASE RENT") the amounts set forth in Item 6
of the BLI Rider (as adjusted each year commencing with the first anniversary of
the Rent Commencement Date pursuant to the provisions of the BLI Rider). Base
Rent shall be payable in advance on the first day of the calendar month in equal
monthly installments of the amount set forth in Item 6 of the BLI Rider. This is
a TRIPLE NET LEASE and such rent shall be payable without any offset, demand,
defense or deduction whatsoever, in lawful money of the United States of
America, at Landlord's management office in the Building or elsewhere as
designated from time to time by Landlord's written notice to Tenant. Landlord,
upon execution of this Lease by Landlord and Tenant, hereby acknowledges payment
by Tenant of the "Initial Payment" in the amount shown under Item 7 of the BLI
Rider, representing payment of Base Rent, together with sales tax thereon, for
the period of time set forth in the BLI Rider. The Initial Payment shall be
applied to the first MONTHLY INSTALLMENT(S) of Base Rent due hereunder, with any
shortfall to be paid by Tenant as otherwise provided herein. Base Rent due for
any partial month of occupancy at the beginning or end of the Lease Term will be
prorated, such proration to be based on the actual number of days in the partial
month.

                  (b) In addition to Base Rent, Tenant shall and hereby agrees
to pay to Landlord each month a sum equal to any sales tax, tax on rentals, and
any other governmental charges, taxes and/or impositions now in existence or
hereafter imposed based upon the privilege of renting the space leased hereunder
or upon the amount of Rent (as hereinafter defined) collected therefor. Nothing
herein shall, however, be taken to require Tenant to pay any part of any federal
and state taxes on income imposed upon Landlord.

                  (c) If any monthly payment of Base Rent remains unpaid for ten
(10) days after its due date, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord an
administrative charge in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the delinquent
payment, as liquidated damages to cover the extra expenses to Landlord of
handling such late payments. If the Tenant pays any installment of Base Rent or
any other sum by check to Landlord, then the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord,
on demand, a processing and administrative fee of $50.00 per returned check, or
five (5) percent of the amount of the check, whichever is greater. The Landlord,
at its option, may subtract any such processing fee from the Security Deposit
(as hereafter defined), if any, held by Landlord hereunder, and, in such event,
Tenant shall immediately deposit a like amount with the Landlord upon the
notification thereof. Provided, however, this provision shall not be construed
as requiring Landlord to accept any late payment of Rent or as a waiver of any
of Landlord's rights or remedies by virtue of Tenant's not making timely payment
of Rent hereunder, and Landlord's acceptance of late Rent and such
administrative charge shall not be construed as constituting a waiver by
Landlord of any rights or remedies available to it in the event that Rent is not
timely paid by Tenant on any one or more future occasions, including declaring
Tenant in default under this Lease and pursuing all remedies available to it
arising from such default.

                                       2

                  (d) Tenant shall pay Landlord interest on any Rent which
remains unpaid for five (5) days after its due date at a rate equal to the
lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum lawful rate, which
interest shall accrue from the due date. This provision shall not be construed
as requiring Landlord to accept any late payment of Rent or as a waiver of any
of Landlord's rights or remedies by virtue of Tenant not making timely payment
of Rent hereunder, and Landlord's acceptance of late Rent and such interest
shall not be construed as constituting a waiver by Landlord of any rights or
remedies available to it in the event that Rent is not timely paid by Tenant on
any one or more future occasions, including declaring Tenant in default under
this Lease and pursuing all remedies available to it arising for such default.

                  (e) For all purposes of this Lease, the term "RENT" shall
include all Base Rent (as adjusted and increased from time to time), charges or
impositions thereon, Additional Rent (as hereinafter defined) and any and all
other payments due or which may become due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder.

         4. CONSUMER PRICE INDEX ADJUSTMENT: Commencing with the second Lease
Year and continuing each successive Lease Year thereafter during the remainder
of the Term (and any extensions or renewals thereof), the annual Base Rent shall
be increased (but not decreased) in accordance with changes in the Consumer
Price Index - U.S. city average for urban wage earners and clerical workers,
1982-1984 equals 100, all items, as promulgated by the U.S. Department of Labor,
Bureau of Labor Statistics ("CPI"). The annual Base Rent shall be increased each
Lease Year by adding thereto an amount equal to the product of: (i) the annual
Base Rent and (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the CPI for the month
immediately preceding the first month of the applicable Lease Year minus the CPI
for the month immediately preceding the first month of the first Lease Year and
the denominator of which is the CPI for the month immediately preceding the
first month of the first Lease Year. In no event shall the annual Base Rent for
the applicable Lease Year as adjusted pursuant to this paragraph ever decrease
below the annual Base Rent as adjusted pursuant to this paragraph for the
immediately prior Lease Year. In the event of an adjustment to the annual Base
Rent in accordance with a change in the CPI, Landlord shall notify Tenant in
writing of the increase to the annual Base Rent for the applicable Lease Year
and the increased amount of the new monthly installments due with respect
thereto. Within ten (10) days of receiving such written notice, Tenant shall pay
to Landlord all increases to the annual Base Rent owed for all months which have
elapsed in the then current Lease Year.

         If a substantial change is made in the method of establishing the CPI
or a change is made to the base year used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in
computing the CPI, then the CPI shall be adjusted to a figure as nearly
equivalent as possible to the figure that would have resulted had no change been
made in the method of establishing the CPI. In the event that the CPI (or a
successor or a substitute index) becomes unavailable, then a comparable index
published by a governmental or other nonpartisan entity evaluating the same
information theretofore used in establishing the CPI shall be used in lieu of
the CPI.

         5. ADDITIONAL RENT. In addition to the Base Rent, Tenant shall, during
each Lease Year, pay to Landlord as "ADDITIONAL RENT", "TENANT'S PROPORTIONATE
SHARE" of: the sum of "OPERATING EXPENSES" plus "TAXES" plus "INSURANCE". As
used herein the term:

                                       3
<PAGE>

                  (a) "TENANT'S PROPORTIONATE SHARE" shall mean for all purposes
of this Lease the percentage shown under Item 9 of the BLI Rider.

                  (b) "OPERATING EXPENSES" shall mean all expenses, costs and
disbursements, of every kind and nature, which Landlord shall pay or become
obligated to pay in connection with the maintenance and/or operation of the
Building and associated parking and landscaping areas and other Common Areas
computed on the accrual basis, but shall not include "Taxes" and "Insurance" (as
hereinafter defined), the cost of mortgage financing, individual tenant
improvements, commissions or fees paid in connection with Landlord's leasing
activities, or the replacement of capital investment items and new capital
improvements unless such items and/or improvements result in the decrease of the
operating cost of the Building, in which latter event the cost of said capital
investment item or new capital improvement shall be included by spreading such
cost over the period necessary to recover such cost from the savings
accomplished by the decreased operating cost of the Building. By way of
explanation and clarification, but not by way of limitation, Operating Expenses
will include the following:

                           (i)      Wages, salaries and benefits of all
                                    employees engaged in the operation and
                                    maintenance of the Building;

                           (ii)     Cost of all supplies and materials used in
                                    the operation and management of the
                                    Building;

                           (iii)    Cost of all utilities used by the Building
                                    and not charged directly to another tenant;
                                    and

                           (iv)     Cost of building management, janitorial
                                    services, accounting and legal services,
                                    trash and garbage removal and servicing and
                                    maintenance of all Building systems and
                                    equipment.

                  (c) "TAXES" shall mean all impositions, taxes, assessments
(special or otherwise), and other governmental liens or charges of any and every
kind, nature and sort whatsoever, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen and
unforeseen, and substitutes therefor (except only income taxes) attributable in
any manner to the Building, and/or the land on which the same are located or any
part thereof, or any use thereof, or any equipment, fixtures or other facility
located therein or thereon or used in conjunction therewith.

                  (d) "INSURANCE" shall mean the cost to Landlord of all
casualty (including all extended coverages), liability, flood hazard, workmen's
compensation and other insurance maintained by Landlord (in Landlord's sole
discretion) and applicable to the Building, associated parking areas, the land
upon which the same are located and/or Landlord's personal property used in
connection therewith.

The estimated amount of Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses,
Taxes and Insurance for the first Lease Year is $6.50, which sum shall be paid
in advance to Landlord in equal monthly installments during the first Lease Year
on the first day of each calendar month. Landlord shall notify Tenant within a
reasonable time after the end of each calendar year hereafter ensuing during the
Term hereof, 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

                                       4
<PAGE>

Share of Operating Expenses, Taxes and Insurance 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.

         Within ninety (90) days following the end of each calendar year during
the Term, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a certified statement showing an
itemized statement of all items comprising the amount of Operating Expenses,
Taxes and Insurance and the actual amount which should have been paid by Tenant
with respect to Operating Expenses, Taxes and Insurance 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. The statement shall become final and conclusive between the parties unless
Landlord receives written detailed objections with respect thereto within thirty
(30) days after receipt by Tenant of said statement, unless, within such thirty
(30) day period, Tenant provides Landlord with written notice, which (A)
disputes the mathematical accuracy of such amount and (B) designates an
appropriately licensed and reputable accountant, reasonably acceptable to
Landlord, who, at Tenant's cost and expense, will review the mathematical
accuracy of such amount with Landlord and/or its designated representative(s).
Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant's Additional Rent payment due
hereunder will not be subject to adjustment unless Tenant demonstrates that such
disputed amount contains a mathematical error in excess of five percent (5%) of
the total amount of Tenant's Additional Rent. Tenant shall pay all of Landlord's
costs and expenses in connection with such review, including attorneys' and
accountants' fees, unless the mathematical error exceeds five percent (5%) of
Tenant's Additional Rent. Irrespective of any dispute relating to Landlord's
computation of Additional Rent hereunder, Tenant shall nevertheless pay, or
accept the credit or refund of, Additional Rent in accordance with the terms
hereof until such time as the dispute is resolved. Any balance shown to be due
pursuant to said statement shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty
(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 Operating Expenses, Taxes and Insurance for the
next year, or, if by reason of any termination of this Lease no such future
obligation exists, refunded to Tenant. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, Tenant shall not delay or withhold payment of any balance shown
to be due pursuant to a statement rendered by Landlord to Tenant because of any
objection which Tenant may raise with respect thereto and Landlord shall
immediately credit or refund any overpayment found to be owing to Tenant as
aforesaid upon the resolution of said objection.

         The failure or inability of Landlord to timely furnish or deliver to
Tenant any information, estimates, budgets, statements, data or similar items
required to be furnished or delivered hereunder shall not relieve Tenant from
its obligation to make any payments or contributions which would be otherwise
due pursuant to the terms hereof had such information, estimate, budget,
statement, data or similar item been timely delivered by Landlord to Tenant.

         Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, it is
agreed that in the event the retail portion of the Building is not fully
occupied during any partial lease year or any full calendar year, an adjustment
shall be made in computing the Operating Expenses (except those for building
management) so that such Operating Expenses shall be computed for such period of
time as though the retail portion of the Building had been fully occupied.

                                       5

         Additional Rent due by reason of this paragraph for the final months of
this Lease is due and payable even though it may not be calculated until
subsequent to the termination date of the Lease; and shall be prorated according
to that portion of said calendar year that this Lease was actually in effect.
Tenant expressly agrees that Landlord, at Landlord's sole discretion, may apply
the Security Deposit specified in paragraph 6 hereof, in full or partial
satisfaction of any Additional Rent due for the final months of this Lease, but
nothing herein contained shall be construed to relieve Tenant of the obligation
to pay any Additional Rent due for the final months of this Lease, 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 or provisions of this Lease.

         6. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant, concurrently with the execution of this
Lease, has deposited with Landlord the sum shown under Item 10 of the BLI Rider
as the "Security Deposit" (the "SECURITY DEPOSIT"), the receipt of which is
hereby acknowledged by Landlord, which sum shall be retained by Landlord as
security for the payment by Tenant of the Rent and all other payments herein
agreed to be paid by Tenant, and for the faithful performance by Tenant of the
terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease. It is agreed that
Landlord, at Landlord's option, may at the time of any default by Tenant under
any of the terms, provisions, covenants or conditions of this Lease apply the
Security Deposit or any part thereof towards the payment of the Rent and all
other sums payable by Tenant under this Lease, and towards the performance of
each and every one of Tenant's covenants under this Lease, but such covenants
and Tenant's liability under this Lease shall thereby be discharged only to the
extent of the sums so applied by Landlord, and Tenant shall remain liable for
any amounts such sums shall be insufficient to pay and, in addition, shall be
obligated to immediately deposit with Landlord the amount necessary to increase
the Security Deposit to its original amount. Landlord may exhaust any and all
rights and remedies against Tenant before resorting to the Security Deposit, but
nothing herein contained shall require or be deemed to require Landlord so to
do. In the event the Security Deposit shall not be utilized for any of the
purposes set forth herein, then the Security Deposit shall be returned by
Landlord to Tenant by (i) thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Lease
Term, or (ii) the determination and payment of the amounts due elsewhere under
this Lease, whichever later occurs. Landlord shall not be required to pay Tenant
any interest on the Security Deposit nor to maintain the Security Deposit in a
separate account. In the event of a sale of the Building, the Landlord shall
have the right to transfer the Security Deposit to the purchaser and the
Landlord shall thereupon be released by the Tenant from all liability for the
return of such Security Deposit, and the Tenant agrees to look solely to the new
landlord for the return of said Security Deposit; and it is agreed that the
provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the Security
Deposit to a new landlord.

         7. USE. Tenant will use and occupy the Leased Premises for the use or
purpose shown under Item 11 of the BLI Rider, and for no other use or purpose.
In the event that Tenant uses the Leased Premises for any purpose not expressly
permitted herein, said use shall be deemed a default by Tenant hereunder, and
Landlord may, in addition to all other remedies available to it, terminate this
Lease or restrain said improper use by injunction.

         8. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Upon payment by Tenant of the Rent herein provided,
and upon the observance and performance of all terms, provisions, covenants and
conditions on Tenant's part to be observed and performed, Tenant shall, subject
to all of the terms, provisions,

                                       6
<PAGE>

covenants and conditions of this Lease, peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the
Leased Premises for the Term hereby demised.

         9. DELAY OF POSSESSION. If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of
the Leased Premises to Tenant within ninety (90) days after the date hereof,
then either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to cancel this Lease upon
written notice thereof delivered to the other party within ten (10) days after
the lapse of said ninety-day period; upon such cancellation, Landlord and Tenant
shall each be released and discharged from all liability under this Lease. There
shall be no delay in the payment of Base Rent or any other Rent where Tenant
fails to occupy the Leased Premises for any other reason.

         10. ACCESS. Tenant shall have access to the Leased Premises twenty-four
(24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week. Tenant, at Tenant's expense, may
install a security system in the Leased Premises, provided that Tenant provides
Landlord with a sufficient description of such system and method of installment
such that Landlord may fully exercise its rights under paragraph 36 hereof, and
obtains Landlord's advance written approval of same, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.

         Tenant shall use only those fixtures and equipment that operate on the
Building's standard electric circuits, but which in no event shall overload the
Building's standard electric circuits from which Tenant obtains electric
current. Any required installation of special circuits, cable, wire or equipment
to service Tenant's unusual electrical needs shall be at Tenant's expense and
only if prior approval therefor is given in writing by Landlord.

         11. UTILITIES. All utilities, including without limitation,
electricity, water, sewer, gas, fuel, etc., will be separately metered to the
Leased Premises and paid for by Tenant directly to the company providing service
upon same becoming due. Landlord will provide water at those points of supply
provided for general use of the Building's tenants at all times; provided,
however, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, install the necessary
piping and submetering equipment for the Leased Premises. Landlord is not
responsible for the provision of any services whatsoever to the Leased Premises.

         Landlord shall install on the roof of the Building all HVAC equipment
and systems necessary to service the Building, provided, however, Tenant, at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall be obligated to install all necessary
ductwork to connect to such HVAC systems and to service the Leased Premises.

         12. GARBAGE REMOVAL. If the Leased Premises are located on the ground
level, Tenant covenants and agrees to remove or cause to be removed all garbage
and solid waste from the Leased Premises on a regular basis and in a timely,
clean and sanitary manner, at Tenant's expense. Such garbage and solid waste
removal shall be carried out strictly in accordance with the Rules and
Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit B and in the manner shown on the sketch
attached hereto as Exhibit C. If Landlord is billed directly for garbage removal
services provided to the Leased Premises for any reason, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, within ten (10) days of Landlord's written demand therefor, all such
sums so billed to Landlord.

                                       7
<PAGE>

         13. RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant agrees to comply with all rules and
regulations Landlord may adopt from time to time for the operation, protection
and welfare of the Building, its tenants, visitors and occupants. The present
rules and regulations, which Tenant hereby agrees to comply with, entitled
"Rules and Regulations", are attached hereto as Exhibit B and are by this
reference incorporated herein. Any future rules and regulations shall become a
part of this Lease, and Tenant hereby agrees to comply with the same upon
delivery of a copy thereof to Tenant.

         14. GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS. Tenant and Landlord shall faithfully
observe in the use of the Leased Premises and the Building, respectively, all
municipal and county ordinances and codes and state and federal statutes now in
force or which may hereafter be in force, affecting the Leased Premises or any
part thereof, or the use thereof, including those for the correction, prevention
and abatement of nuisances and unsafe conditions, and those relating to the
handling and disposal of hazardous substances and any other environmental
concerns. Tenant agrees to comply with any requirement that the Leased Premises
be vacated during any smoke test or other governmental inspection of the
Building and that such interruption shall not be deemed a constructive eviction
or a disturbance of Tenant's use or possession of the Leased Premises, or shall
it render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages or abatement of Rent.

         15. IMPROVEMENTS TO LEASED PREMISES. Landlord's obligations as to work
to be performed for Tenant and improvements to be made to the Leased Premises,
if any, is solely as set forth in Item 12 of the BLI Rider. Tenant acknowledges
that upon taking possession of the Leased Premises such possession shall be
conclusive evidence that Tenant has received the Leased Premises in a condition
satisfactory to Tenant and that Landlord has satisfied any obligations to Tenant
with respect to the preparation of the Leased Premises for Tenant's use and
occupancy. Tenant further acknowledges that Landlord has a substantial economic
interest in maintaining a uniformity of materials and systems throughout the
Building, insuring that the appearance and the quality of any improvements to
the Leased Premises conform to the general nature, quality, style and design of
other portions of the Building, and insuring that any such improvements are
carried out in a good and workmanlike manner by qualified, licensed contractors
and are fully paid for. For this reason, alterations, improvements and work of
any kind performed by Tenant to the Leased Premises at any time shall be subject
to the following conditions and limitations:

                  (a) Prior to commencing any work, Tenant shall submit for
Landlord's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed, detailed plans and specifications for all Tenant
improvements and repairs to be made by Tenant. Landlord and its agents shall
have the right to review all plans and specifications. Tenant shall make any
changes recommended by Landlord or its agents, and resubmit such revised plans
and specifications for Landlord's approval.

                  (b) Landlord shall also have the right, in it's reasonable
discretion, to approve the contractor(s) to be used by Tenant and to require,
prior to the commencement of work, payment and performance bonds or other
similar security acceptable to Landlord.

                                       8
<PAGE>

                  (c) All of Tenant's work shall comply with the provisions of
all applicable governmental codes and regulations, and, prior to commencing any
work, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of all applicable governmental
permits and authorizations which may be required in connection with such work.

                  (d) Tenant shall (and shall require that all contractors)
comply with all applicable provisions of the Florida mechanics' liens laws, and
the provisions of paragraph 20. hereof.

                  (e) All of Tenant's work shall be subject to Landlord's
periodic review.

                  (f) All of Tenant's contractors must procure workmen's
compensation insurance covering all persons employed in connection with the work
who might assert claims for death or bodily injury; no work shall be commenced
until Landlord shall have received copies of certificates of insurance
confirming the existence of such insurance coverage.

                  (g) Prior to commencing any work, Tenant shall obtain, for the
benefit of Tenant, Landlord, any holder of a mortgage given by Landlord
encumbering the Building or the land thereunder, and any lessor under a ground
or underlying lease affecting the same, such additional liability and property
damage insurance as Landlord or such other party may reasonably require because
of the nature of the work to be done by Tenant.

                  (h) All such work, alterations, decorations, installations,
additions or improvements shall be done at Tenant's sole expense. Landlord shall
not be liable for any failure of any building facilities or services caused by
alterations, decorations, installations, additions or improvements made by
Tenant, and Tenant shall be responsible for and correct any such work causing
such failure (under Landlord's supervision). Tenant shall also make any and all
changes to the Leased Premises as may be necessary to insure that the Leased
Premises comply with all governmental requirements set forth in paragraph 14.
above after the completion of all such work. Upon Tenant's failure to correct
such work or to make such changes, Landlord may make such correction and change,
and charge Tenant for the cost thereof, together with an administrative charge
equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the cost of such work. Such sums due
Landlord shall be paid by Tenant promptly upon being billed therefor.

         16. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS.
             -----------------------

                  (a) Tenant will, at Tenant's own expense, keep the Leased
Premises in good repair and tenantable condition during the Lease Term and, in
furtherance thereof, will replace at its own expense any and all broken glass in
and about said Leased Premises. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall, at
its expense, maintain, repair and replace all electrical, plumbing, HVAC and
other systems and equipment within the Leased Premises or which exclusively
serve the Leased Premises, including, without limitation, the HVAC systems and
equipment installed by Tenant in accordance with the terms hereof. All aforesaid
repairs, restorations and replacements shall be in quality and class equal to or
exceeding the previously existing work or installations and shall be performed
under the direction and to the satisfaction of Landlord.

                  (b) If Landlord deems any repair which Tenant is required to
make hereunder to be necessary, Landlord may demand that Tenant make such repair
immediately. If Tenant

                                       9
<PAGE>

refuses or neglects to make such repair and to complete the same with reasonable
dispatch, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make such repair and
Tenant shall, on demand, immediately pay to Landlord the cost thereof, together
with an administrative charge equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the cost of
such work. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage that
may accrue to Tenant's business by reason of such work or its results.

                  (c) Except for the maintenance and repair of the Leased
Premises, which is the sole responsibility of Tenant as provided hereinabove,
Landlord shall, at its expense, maintain the Building and repair and replace the
roof and other structural portions thereof, which Landlord deems reasonably
necessary or desirable to keep the Building in good order and repair.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any damage to the Building is
caused by acts or omissions of Tenant, its agents, customers, employees or
invitees, Tenant shall make such repairs (under Landlord's supervision and to
its satisfaction) and shall bear the cost thereof. Tenant agrees to notify
Landlord of the necessity for any repairs of which Tenant may have knowledge and
for which Landlord may be responsible under the provisions of the first sentence
of this paragraph. In the event that Landlord is responsible for such repairs,
Landlord shall commence such repairs within a reasonable time after receiving
notification of same.

         17. ALTERATIONS TO BUILDING. Tenant acknowledges and makes this Lease
with the distinct understanding and agreement that Landlord shall have the right
and privilege to make any additions to the Building of which the Leased Premises
are a part, and to make such alterations, structural changes, refurbishments,
renovations and repairs to said Building and the Common Areas as it may deem
desirable and advisable without any liability to Tenant therefor, so long as
neither ingress nor egress to the Leased Premises from the streets and sidewalks
abutting the Leased Premises are materially and adversely affected.

         18. COMMON AREAS/PARKING. Landlord shall have the right to exclusive
control and management of the Common Areas, to shall have the right to close
temporarily all or any portion of the Common Areas and to do and perform such
other acts in and to said areas as Landlord shall determine to be advisable in
its sole judgment. Landlord will operate and maintain the Common Areas in such
manner and with such personnel as Landlord shall determine from time to time.
Tenant shall have the option of renting up to a maximum of eight (8) parking
spaces at an initial cost of Seventy Five Dollars ($75.00) per space per month.
The Leased Premises shall not otherwise include the right to use any particular
parking space or spaces; provided, however, parking spaces shall be generally
available for the use of Tenant, its customers, employees or invitees, together
with the other tenants of the Building and their respective customers, employees
or invitees, at a location to be determined by Landlord from time to time, which
location may change from time to time in accordance with the terms and
conditions of that certain Development Order recorded in Official Records Book
18598, Page 2851 of the Public Records of Miami-Dade County, Florida. Tenant and
its employees, guests and invitees may park only in those spaces which are
designated by Landlord for the retail portion of the Building to the extent
spaces are available and subject to the prevailing parking charges established
by the Landlord. Any charges incurred by Tenant for the use of parking spaces in
connection with the Lease shall be included in the term "Rent" as defined herein
and shall be subject to increase from time to time. The use of the parking lot
or other facility shall be governed by rules and regulations adopted from time
to time by Landlord.

                                       10

         19. NOISE. Business machines and mechanical equipment belonging to
Tenant which cause noise, vibration or any other nuisance that may be
transmitted to the structure or other portions of the Building or to the Leased
Premises to such a degree as to be objectionable to Landlord, or which interfere
with the use or enjoyment by other tenants of their premises, shall be placed
and maintained by Tenant at Tenant's cost and expense, in settings of cork,
rubber or spring type vibration eliminators, or other similar sound barriers,
sufficient to eliminate noise or vibration, as approved by Landlord.

         20. INDEMNIFICATION AGAINST LIENS. In accordance with the applicable
provisions of the Florida Construction Lien Law and specifically Florida
Statutes, Section 713.10, no interest of Landlord whether personally or in the
Leased Premises, or in the underlying land or Building of which the Leased
Premises are a part or the leasehold interest aforesaid shall be subject to
liens for improvements made by Tenant or caused to be made by Tenant hereunder.
Further, Tenant acknowledges that Tenant, with respect to improvements or
alterations made by Tenant or caused to be made by Tenant hereunder, shall
promptly notify the contractor making such improvements to the Leased Premises
of this provision exculpating Landlord's liability for such liens.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any mechanic's lien or other lien,
attachment, judgment, execution, writ, charge or encumbrance is filed against
the Building or the Leased Premises or this leasehold, or any alterations,
fixtures or improvements therein or thereto, as a result of any work, action or
inaction done by or at the direction of Tenant, Tenant will discharge same of
record within twenty (20) days after the filing thereof, failing which Tenant
will be in default under this Lease. In such event, without waiving Tenant's
default, Landlord, in addition to all other available rights and remedies,
without further notice, may discharge the same of record by payment, bonding or
otherwise, as Landlord may elect, and upon request Tenant will reimburse
Landlord for all costs and expenses so incurred by Landlord.

         21. ESTOPPEL STATEMENT. Tenant agrees that from time to time, upon not
less than ten (10) days prior request by Landlord, Tenant will deliver to
Landlord a statement in writing certifying (a) that this Lease is unmodified and
in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that the Lease
as modified is in full force and effect and stating the modifications); (b) the
dates to which the rent and other charges have been paid; (c) that Landlord is
not in default under any provisions of this Lease, or, if in default, the nature
thereof in detail; (d) whether or not Tenant is in occupancy of the Leased
Premises, and (e) such other information pertaining to this Lease and Tenant as
Landlord, its mortgagee or prospective mortgagee may reasonably request. Failure
by Tenant to so reply within said ten (10) days shall be deemed confirmation by
Tenant that all parties are in good standing under the Lease.

         22. SUBORDINATION OF LEASE. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate
to any mortgage or ground lease (including all renewals, modifications and
extensions thereof) now or hereafter encumbering or affecting the Building or
the land thereunder or Landlord's interest therein. This provision shall be
self-operative without the execution of any further instruments. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, however, Tenant hereby agrees to execute the Subordination,
Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement in form attached hereto as Exhibit D or
any other instrument(s) which Landlord, its mortgagee or prospective mortgagee
may deem desirable to evidence the subordination of this Lease to any and all
such mortgages or ground leases.

                                       11
<PAGE>

Additionally, Tenant hereby constitutes and appoints Landlord as Tenant's
attorney-in-fact to execute any such instrument or instruments on behalf of
Tenant. If, in connection with providing financing for the Building, any
prospective mortgagee shall request reasonable modifications of this Lease as a
condition to such financing, Tenant agrees that Tenant will not unreasonably
withhold, delay or defer the execution of any agreement of modification of this
Lease, provided such modifications do not increase the financial obligations of
Tenant hereunder or materially adversely affect the leasehold interest hereby
created or Tenant's reasonable use and enjoyment of the Leased Premises.

         23. ATTORNMENT. If the interests of Landlord under this Lease shall be
transferred voluntarily or by reason of the termination of any ground or
underlying leases or by reason of foreclosure or other proceedings for
enforcement of any mortgage on the Leased Premises, Tenant shall, at the
election of such transferee, be bound to such transferee (herein sometimes
called the "SUCCESSOR LANDLORD") for the balance of the term hereof remaining,
and any extensions or renewals thereof which may be effected in accordance with
the terms and provisions hereof, with the same force and effect as if the
Successor Landlord were Landlord under this Lease, and Tenant does hereby agree
to attorn to the Successor Landlord, including the mortgagee under any such
mortgage or the lessor under any such ground lease if it be the Successor
Landlord, as its landlord under this Lease upon the then existing terms of this
Lease. The foregoing attornment shall be effective and self-operative without
the execution of any further instruments, upon the Successor Landlord succeeding
to the interest of Landlord under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
however, Tenant hereby agrees to execute any instrument(s) which Successor
Landlord or its prospective mortgagee may deem desirable to evidence said
attornment by Tenant. Tenant hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints
Landlord as Tenant's attorney-in-fact to execute any such instrument for and on
behalf of Tenant. In the event of such transfer of Landlord's interests,
Landlord shall be released and relieved from all liability and responsibility
thereafter accruing to Tenant under this Lease or otherwise and Landlord's
successor by acceptance of Rent from Tenant hereunder shall become liable and
responsible to Tenant in respect to all obligations of "Landlord" arising during
the period of such successor Landlord's ownership of Landlord's interest
hereunder, and not for any obligations of Landlord or any prior successor
Landlord or any claim by or cause of action of Tenant arising or accruing prior
to such successor Landlord's becoming the owner of Landlord's interest under
this Lease.

         24. ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING. Without the written consent of Landlord
first obtained in each case, Tenant shall not assign, transfer, mortgage,
pledge, or otherwise encumber or dispose of this Lease or sublet the Leased
Premises or any part thereof or permit the Leased Premises to be occupied by
other persons. Landlord's exercise of its consent shall be in its sole
discretion (sole discretion shall be deemed to mean that Landlord need not be
reasonable in granting or withholding its consent). In furtherance thereof, in
the case of a subletting, Landlord's consent may be predicated, among other
things, upon Landlord becoming entitled to collect and retain all Rent and any
other economic consideration payable under the sublease, and in the case of an
assignment, Landlord's consent may be predicated, among other things, upon
Landlord's right to increase Base Rent and the Security Deposit, and to require
additional guaranties of payment and performance of the obligations of "Tenant"
under this Lease, and further upon Landlord's becoming entitled to collect and
retain any economic consideration for said assignment paid or payable by the
prospective assignee to Tenant. Tenant shall pay all

                                       12
<PAGE>

attorneys' fees and costs incurred by Landlord pursuant to this paragraph in
connection with Landlord's review of any proposed assignment or sublease. If
this Lease be assigned, or if the Leased Premises or any part thereof be sublet
or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may, after default by Tenant,
collect or accept Rent from the assignee, subtenant, or occupant and apply the
net amount collected or accepted to the Rent herein reserved, but no such
collection or acceptance shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant or the
acceptance of the assignee, subtenant, or occupant as Tenant, nor shall it be
construed as, or implied to be, a release of Tenant or any guarantor of the
Lease from the further observance and performance by Tenant of the terms,
provisions, covenants and conditions herein contained.

         Landlord shall have a right of first refusal with regard to any
proposed sublease or assignment on the same terms and conditions as contained in
such proposed sublease or agreement to assign, which right of first refusal
shall be exercisable by Landlord giving notice of its intention to do so within
thirty (30) business days after receipt of any proposed sublease or assignment.

         The consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting hereunder shall
not be construed as releasing Tenant from any liability hereunder or as
constituting the consent by Landlord to any subsequent assignment or subletting,
which subsequent assignment or subletting shall require the prior written
approval of Landlord as provided herein in each instance. In the event an
assignment is permitted by Landlord, contemporaneously with the granting of
Landlord's consent, Tenant shall cause the assignee to expressly assume in
writing and agree to perform all of the covenants, duties and obligations of
Tenant hereunder and such assignee shall be jointly and severally liable
therefor along with Tenant (but any assignee who does not expressly assume such
obligations in writing shall nevertheless be deemed to have assumed such
obligations by acceptance of any such assignment). Any assignment, subletting,
hypothecation, pledging or other disposition of Tenant's interest hereunder, in
violation of the terms hereof shall be deemed null and void, and shall
constitute an act of default hereunder.

         If Tenant is not an individual, any direct or indirect change in the
ownership (legal or equitable) of a controlling and/or a majority interest of
Tenant, whether such change in ownership occurs at one time or as a result of
sequential incremental changes, and whether said change is by sale, assignment,
hypothecation, bequest, inheritance, operation of law, merger or consolidation,
or otherwise, shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease subject to the consent
of Landlord, the failure of which shall be deemed a default hereunder.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this paragraph shall
not, however, be applicable to an assignment of this Lease by Tenant to a
wholly-owned subsidiary or controlling corporation, provided (and it shall be a
condition of the validity of any such assignment) that such wholly-owned
subsidiary or controlling corporation agree directly with Landlord to be bound
by all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder, including, without limitation,
the obligation to pay Rent and other amounts provided for under this Lease, and
the covenant against further assignment; but such assignment shall not relieve
the Tenant herein named of any of its obligations hereunder, and Tenant shall
remain fully liable therefor. Furthermore, it is specifically understood and
agreed that said assignment to a wholly-owned subsidiary or controlling
corporation shall be valid only for such period of time as said wholly-owned
subsidiary or controlling corporation remains a wholly-owned subsidiary or
controlling

                                       13
<PAGE>

corporation of Tenant; and in the event Tenant shall ever sell or
otherwise transfer said controlling interest in said wholly-owned subsidiary to
another person or entity, or if said controlling corporation shall cease to
control Tenant, unless Landlord shall have specifically assented thereto, the
same shall be deemed to be a material breach of this Lease entitling Landlord
forthwith to terminate this Lease.

         25. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All terms, provisions, covenants and
conditions to be observed and performed by Tenant shall be applicable to and
binding upon Tenant's respective heirs, administrators, executors, successors
and assigns, subject, however, to the restrictions as to assignment or
subletting by Tenant as provided herein. All expressed covenants of this Lease
shall be deemed to be covenants running with the land.

         26. HOLD HARMLESS OF LANDLORD. In consideration of the Leased Premises
being leased to Tenant for the above Rent, Tenant agrees: that Tenant, at all
times, will indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from all losses, damages,
liabilities and expenses, which may arise or be claimed against Landlord and be
in favor of Tenant or any other person for any injuries or damages to the person
or property of Tenant, or such other person, consequent upon or arising from the
use or occupancy of said Leased Premises by Tenant, or consequent upon or
arising from any acts, omissions, neglect or fault of Tenant, its agents,
servants, employees, licensees, visitors, customers, patrons or invitees, or
consequent upon or arising from a breach of this Lease (including without
limitation paragraph 58 hereof) or Tenant's failure to comply with any laws,
statutes, ordinances, codes or regulations as required herein (including without
limitation any present or future federal, state or local laws, rules,
regulations or ordinances pertaining to hazardous substances, environmental
concerns, and occupational safety and health requirements), unless caused solely
by the gross negligence or willful misconduct, whether by omission or
commission, of Landlord its employees or guests. Landlord shall not be liable to
Tenant for any damages, losses or injuries to the persons or property of Tenant,
its invitees, licensees or patrons, which may be caused by the acts, neglect,
omissions or faults of any person or which may result from fire, wind,
explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain or leaks from
any part of the Building or from the pipes, appliances or plumbing works, or
from the road, street or subsurface, or from any other place, or by any cause
whatsoever, unless caused solely by the gross negligence or willful misconduct,
whether by omission or commission, of Landlord its employees or guests. All
personal property placed or moved into the Leased Premises or the Building shall
be at the risk of Tenant or the owner thereof, and Landlord shall not be liable
to Tenant for any damage to said personal property, unless caused solely by the
gross negligence or willful misconduct, whether by omission or commission, of
Landlord its employees or guests.

         In case Landlord shall be made a party to any litigation commenced
against, by or through Tenant, then Tenant shall protect and hold Landlord
harmless and shall pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees
incurred or paid by Landlord in connection with such litigation and any appeal
thereof, unless caused solely by the gross negligence or willful misconduct,
whether by omission or commission, of Landlord its employees or guests. In case
Tenant shall be made a party to any litigation commenced against, by or through
Landlord, then Landlord shall protect and hold Tenant harmless and shall pay all
costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred or paid by Tenant in
connection with such litigation and any appeal

                                       14
<PAGE>

thereof, unless caused solely by the gross negligence or willful misconduct,
whether by omission or commission, of Tenant its employees or guests.

         27. INSURANCE COVERAGE.
             ------------------

                  (a) Tenant, at its sole expense, shall obtain and keep in
force during the Lease Term (as well as prior and subsequent thereto if Tenant
should then use or occupy any portion of the Leased Premises), with an insurance
company licensed to do business in the State of Florida, and acceptable to
Landlord, the following insurance coverage: (i) without deductible,
comprehensive general liability insurance, including coverage for bodily injury
and death, property damage and personal injury and contractual liability as
referred to below, in an amount not less than the amount set forth in Item 13 of
the BLI Rider, combined single limit per occurrence for injury (or death) and
damage to property, (ii) insurance on an "all risk" basis, including sprinkler
leakage, vandalism, malicious mischief, fire, flood and extended coverage,
covering all improvements to the Leased Premises, fixtures, furnishings,
removable floor coverings, equipment, signs and all other decorations or stock
in trade, inventory and personal property of Tenant, in amounts not less than
the full replacement value thereof, and (iii) workman's compensation and
employer's liability insurance, if required by statute, with not less than the
maximum statutory limits of coverage. Such policies will (i) include Landlord
and such other parties, as Landlord may reasonably designate, as additional
insureds, (ii) be considered primary insurance, (iii) include within the terms
of the policy or by contractual liability endorsement coverage insuring Tenant's
indemnity obligations under paragraph 26., and (iv) provide that it may not be
cancelled or changed without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice from
the company providing such insurance to each party insured thereunder.

                  (b) The insurance coverage to be provided by Tenant will be
for a period of not less than one (1) year. At least fifteen (15) days prior to
the Commencement Date, Tenant will deliver to Landlord original certificates of
all such insurance, together with proof of payment of the premium therefor;
thereafter, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of any policy,
Tenant will deliver to Landlord such original certificates as will evidence a
paid-up renewal or new policy to take the place of the one expiring.

                  (c) If Landlord's insurance premiums exceed the standard
premium rates because of the nature of Tenant's use of the Leased Premises, then
Tenant shall, upon receipt of appropriate invoices from Landlord, reimburse
Landlord for such increase in premiums. It is understood and agreed between the
parties hereto that any such increase in premiums shall be considered as Rent
due and shall be included in any lien for Rent. Tenant shall comply with any and
all requirements of Landlord's insurer(s).

                  (d) Each party will look first to any insurance in its favor
before making any claim against the other party for recovery for loss or damage
resulting from fire or other casualty, and to the extent that such insurance is
in force and collectible and to the extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby
waives and releases all rights of subrogation under Tenant's insurance policies
discussed above and Tenant will cause each such insurance policy to be properly
endorsed to evidence such waiver and release of subrogation in favor of
Landlord.

                                       15
<PAGE>

         28. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION. In the event the Leased Premises (or a
material portion thereof) shall be destroyed or so damaged or injured by fire or
other casualty during the term of this Lease, whereby the same shall be rendered
untenantable, then Landlord may, within sixty (60) days of such occurrence,
terminate this Lease or any renewal thereof as of the date of casualty. If
Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall cause the Leased
Premises to be repaired (except as to any improvements made by Tenant) within
one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of casualty. If said Leased Premises
are not rendered tenantable within said time (subject to any delay caused by a
force majeure), either party shall have the option to cancel this Lease by
written notice to the other. Landlord shall notify Tenant promptly after a
casualty as to whether Landlord elects to cancel the Lease or to cause the
Leased Premises to be repaired. In the event the Lease is terminated or
cancelled as herein provided, Rent shall be paid only to the date of such fire
or casualty. During any time that the Leased Premises are untenantable due to
causes set forth in this paragraph, the Rent or a just and fair proportion
thereof shall be abated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should the cause of such
damage, destruction or injury to the Leased Premises originate from the Leased
Premises or occur by reason of the negligence of Tenant or any employee, agent,
licensee, patron or invitee of Tenant, Tenant shall not have the right to cancel
this Lease and no abatement of Rent shall occur. As to such tenant damage,
Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to render the Leased
Premises tenantable. If Landlord elects to repair said damage and render the
Leased Premises tenantable, all available insurance proceeds for the cost
thereof shall be paid to Landlord, and the balance of the cost of such repairs
shall be paid by Tenant when due. If Landlord elects not to repair such tenant
damage, Tenant shall make such repairs pursuant to paragraph 15. and shall be
entitled to any insurance proceeds received in respect to the cost thereof.
Landlord shall have no liability for loss or interruption of business, or any
inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant occasioned by the casualty or arising from
any repair of any portion of the Building or the Leased Premises, unless caused
solely by the gross negligence or willful misconduct, whether by omission or
commission, of Landlord its employees or guests.

         29. EMINENT DOMAIN. In the event that the Leased Premises or any
material part thereof is taken for any public or quasi-public use by
condemnation or by right of eminent domain, or purchase in avoidance or
settlement of a condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, Landlord and Tenant
agree that this Lease shall be cancelled. In the event a material portion of the
Building (but not the Leased Premises) is taken for any public or quasi-public
use by condemnation or similar proceeding or purchase in avoidance or settlement
thereof, then Landlord shall have the option to cancel this Lease; provided,
however, if such taking of a material portion of the Building materially and
adversely affects Tenant's use of the Leased Premises, then either Landlord or
Tenant shall have the option to cancel this Lease All sums awarded (or agreed
upon between Landlord and the condemning authority) for the taking of the
interest of Landlord and/or Tenant, whether as damages or as compensation and
whether for partial or total condemnation shall be the property of Landlord. If
this Lease should be terminated under the provisions of this paragraph, Rent
shall be payable up to the date that possession is taken by the taking
authority, and Landlord shall refund to Tenant any prepaid unaccrued Rent less
any sum or amount then owing by Tenant to Landlord.

         30. DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an "event of
default" under this Lease:

                                       16
<PAGE>

                  (a) If Tenant fails to make any payment of Rent when due
hereunder; or

                  (b) If Tenant fails to keep in force the insurance policies
required by Tenant pursuant to paragraph 27. in the manner and on such terms as
provided for therein; or

                  (c) If Tenant violates the provisions of paragraph 24 by
attempting to make an unpermitted assignment or sublease; or

                  (d) If Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease shall become
insolvent or unable to pay its debts as such become due, or file any debtor
proceedings or if Tenant or any guarantor shall take or have taken against
either party in any court pursuant to any statute either of the United States or
of any state, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or
for the appointment of a receiver for Tenant's property or for a guarantor's
property, or if Tenant or any such guarantor makes an assignment for the benefit
of creditors, or petitions or enters into an arrangement for the benefit of
creditors;

                  (e) If Tenant shall, for a period of five (5) consecutive
days, abandon or vacate the Leased Premises, or remove the major portion of the
goods, wares, equipment or furnishings usually kept on said Leased Premises, or
cease doing business in the Leased Premises (except in the case of a permitted
assignment or subletting); or

                  (f) If Tenant fails to take possession of the Leased Premises
on the Commencement Date; or

                  (g) If Tenant permits anything to be done which creates a lien
upon the Leased Premises and fails to discharge such lien as required by
paragraph 20.; or

                  (h) If Tenant fails to perform any other term, provision,
covenant or condition of this Lease on Tenant's part to be performed, and Tenant
fails to cure such default within 30 days after written notice thereof (or if
such default cannot be reasonably cured within 30 days, then within 60 days
after such notice, provided that Tenant has commenced such cure within 30 days
and diligently pursues same to completion).

         31. REMEDIES. If an event of default has occurred under this Lease,
Landlord may, at its option, in addition to such other remedies as may be
available at law and in equity (which remedies shall be cumulative and not
mutually exclusive), (i) terminate this Lease and Tenant's right of possession;
or (ii) terminate Tenant's right to possession but not the Lease and/or proceed
in accordance with one or more of the following provisions:

                  (a) Landlord may without further notice reenter the Leased
Premises either by force or otherwise and dispossess Tenant by summary
proceedings or otherwise, as well as the legal representatives of Tenant and/or
other occupants of the Leased Premises, and remove their effects and hold the
Leased Premises as if this Lease had not been made, and Tenant hereby waives the
service of notice of intention to reenter or to institute legal proceedings to
that end. Any and all property which may be removed from the Leased Premises by
Landlord pursuant to the authority of this Lease or of law, to which Tenant is
or may be entitled, may be handled, removed or stored by Landlord at the risk,
cost and expense of Tenant, all without service of notice or resort to legal
process, and without being deemed guilty of trespass, eviction or forcible

                                       17
<PAGE>

entry or detainer, and without relinquishing Landlord's rights to Rent or any
other right given to Landlord hereunder or by operation of law; or

                  (b) All Rent for the balance of the Lease Term will, at the
election of Landlord, be accelerated and the present worth of same for the
balance of the Lease Term, net of amounts actually collected by Landlord, shall
become immediately due thereupon and be paid; or

                  (c) Landlord may relet the Leased Premises or any part
thereof, with or without any furniture that may be therein, as the agent of
Tenant to any person for such Rent for such time and upon such terms as Landlord
in Landlord's sole discretion shall determine. Landlord may make repairs,
alterations and additions in or to the Leased Premises and redecorate the same
to the extent deemed by Landlord necessary or desirable, and Tenant shall, upon
demand, pay the cost thereof, together with any other expenses, such as (by way
of illustration and not limitation) attorneys', brokerage and advertising fees
and costs; or

                  (d) Tenant or its legal representatives will also pay on
demand to Landlord as liquidated damages any deficiency between the Rent hereby
reserved and/or agreed to be paid in the Lease and the net amount, if any, of
the Rent and other sums collected on account of the Lease or leases of the
Leased Premises for each month of the period which would otherwise have
constituted the balance of the Lease Term.

         32. INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

         33. WAIVER OF DEFAULT. Failure of Landlord to declare any default
immediately upon occurrence thereof, or delay in taking any action in connection
therewith, shall not waive such default, but Landlord shall have the right to
declare any such default at any time and take such action as might be lawful or
authorized hereunder, in law and/or in equity. No waiver by Landlord of a
default by Tenant shall be implied, and no express waiver by Landlord shall
affect any default other than the default specified in such waiver and that only
for the time and extension therein stated. No waiver of any term, provision,
condition or covenant of this Lease by Landlord shall be deemed to imply or
constitute a further waiver by Landlord of any other term, provision, condition
or covenant of this Lease.

         34. NON-PERFORMANCE BY LANDLORD.
             ---------------------------

                  (a) In the event of any claim by Tenant that Landlord has
defaulted under this Lease, Tenant shall, prior to taking any action, deliver a
notice to Landlord, specifying the nature of such default, and thereafter
Landlord shall have thirty (30) days, or such longer period as may be
reasonable, not to exceed an additional sixty (60) days, to cure any such
default for which Landlord is liable. At Landlord's request and provided
Landlord has provided Tenant with an address therefor, Tenant shall
simultaneously deliver any such notice of default, in the manner provided in
paragraph 37., to any holder of a mortgage or ground lease affecting the
Building or the land thereunder. Such mortgagee or lessor shall have the right
(but not the obligation) to cure such default during the period that is
permitted to Landlord hereunder, plus an additional thirty (30) days, and Tenant
will accept such cure (if any) with the same effect as if such action had been
taken by Landlord.

                                       18
<PAGE>

                  (b) Whenever and to the extent that Landlord shall be unable
to fulfill, or shall be delayed or restricted in the fulfillment of any
obligation, or the curing of a default, under any provision of this Lease by
reason of strike, lock-out, war or acts of military authority, rebellion or
civil commotion, fire or explosion, flood, wind, water, earthquake, acts of God
or other casualty or by reason of being unable to obtain any materials, goods,
equipment, services, utilities or labor required to enable Landlord to fulfill
such obligation or to cure such default or by reason of any statute or law or
any regulation or order passed or made pursuant thereto or by reason of any
order or direction of any administrator, controller, board or any governmental
department or officer or other authority, or by reason of Landlord's inability
to obtain any permission or authority required thereby, or by reason of any
other cause beyond Landlord's control or not wholly or mainly within Landlord's
control, whether of the foregoing character or not, Landlord shall, so long as
any such impediment exists, be relieved from the fulfillment of such obligation
and Tenant shall not be entitled to compensation for any damage, inconvenience,
nuisance or discomfort thereby occasioned.

                  (c) In the event of a default by Landlord of its obligations
under this Lease which default is not cured within the applicable grace period
(as same may be extended pursuant to the preceding paragraph), Tenant's sole
right and remedy shall be to sue Landlord for damages directly resulting from
such default and Tenant expressly waives any other right or remedy, including
without limitation the right to terminate this Lease. Notwithstanding any other
provision contained herein to the contrary, Landlord's liability hereunder, in
the event of any uncured default by Landlord, shall be limited to Landlord's
equity interest in the Building, it being understood that no other assets of
Landlord shall be subject to any judgment against Landlord hereunder.

movable property, furniture and furnishings other than those affixed to the
Leased Premises shall remain the property of Tenant (except in the case of a
default by Tenant). Tenant shall remove all such property prior to the date

without limitation disposing of same at Tenant's expense. If Tenant, during the
Lease Term, installs or causes to be installed fixtures, trade fixtures or any
tenant improvements, Landlord shall have the option of retaining same or
requiring Tenant to remove same; provided, however, Tenant understands and
agrees that it shall be obligated to remove the bank vault installed by Tenant
upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. All costs associated
with the removal of the bank vault and any damage caused to the Leased Premises
or the Building by the installation or removal of the bank vault shall be the
sole responsibility of Tenant. Should Landlord elect to cause Tenant to remove
such items, the cost of removal of same, upon Landlord's election and notice to
Tenant, shall be borne by Tenant. Landlord has no obligation to compensate
Tenant for any items which are required hereunder to remain on or with the
Leased Premises.

         39. HOLDING OVER. Tenant agrees that if Tenant does not surrender said
Leased Premises to Landlord at the end of the Term of this Lease then Tenant
will pay to Landlord, to the extent permitted by law, one hundred fifty percent
(150%) of the amount of the Rent paid by Tenant for the last month of the Lease
Term for each month or portion thereof that Tenant holds over plus all damages
that Landlord may suffer on account of Tenant's failure to so surrender to
Landlord possession of said Leased Premises, and will indemnify and save
Landlord harmless from and against all claims made by any succeeding tenant of
said Leased Premises against Landlord on account of delay of Landlord in
delivering possession of said Leased Premises to said succeeding tenant so far
as such delay is occasioned by failure of Tenant to so surrender said Leased
Premises in accordance herewith or otherwise.

Lease or the service of any notice of commencement of any suit or final judgment
for possession shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term of this Lease or
affect any such notice, demand, suit or judgment, or otherwise limit or affect
any other remedies available to Landlord hereunder.

         40. SURRENDER. No act or thing done by Landlord or its agents during
the Term of this Lease shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the
Leased Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender of the Leased Premises
shall be valid unless it be made in writing by a duly authorized officer or
agent of Landlord.

         41. OCCUPANCY TAX. Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay before
delinquency all municipal, county or state taxes assessed during the Term of
this Lease against any occupancy interest or personal property of any kind,

Tenant's expense and in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances and
regulations. Landlord shall have the unrestricted right to install signs on the
interior or exterior of any portion of the Building and/or change the Building's
name or street address. Any signs installed by Tenant without Landlord's consent
may be removed by Landlord at Tenant's sole cost and expense.

         43. TRIAL BY JURY. It is mutually agreed by and between Landlord and
Tenant that the respective parties hereto shall and they hereby do waive trial
by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the
parties hereto against the other on any matters arising out of or in any way
connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, and Tenant's
use or occupancy of the Leased Premises. Tenant further agrees that it shall not
interpose any non-compulsory counterclaim or counterclaims in a summary
proceeding or in any action based upon nonpayment of Rent or any other payment
required of Tenant hereunder.

         44. INVALIDITY OF PROVISION. If any term, provision, covenant or
condition 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, provision, covenant or condition to persons or
circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable
shall not be affected thereby and each term, provision, covenant or condition of
this Lease shall be valid and be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by
law.

enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida.

         47. MISCELLANEOUS. The terms "Landlord" and "Tenant" as defined in this
Lease shall include their respective heirs, successors, executors,
administrators, personal representatives and/or assigns wherever the context so
requires or admits (but nothing in this

                                       21
<PAGE>

paragraph shall constitute a consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting

singular shall include the plural, words in the plural shall include the
singular and pronouns of any gender shall include all other genders. Paragraph
headings contained in this Lease are solely for convenience and shall not affect
its construction. All references in this Lease to paragraphs or exhibits refer

another document. All references in this Lease to the term "person" shall be
deemed to include individuals, children, firms, associations, joint ventures,
partnerships, estates, trusts, business trusts, syndicates, fiduciaries,
corporations, and all other groups or combinations. The rentable area of the
Leased Premises has been determined in accordance with Landlord's own method of
calculation, which may attribute a percentage of unleasable space and Common
Areas in the Building to each office and retail suite. This Lease shall be
construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction
against the party who drafted the Lease.

         48. EFFECTIVE DATE. Submission of this instrument for examination does
not constitute an offer, right of first refusal, reservation of or option for

This instrument becomes effective as a Lease upon execution and delivery by both
Landlord and Tenant.

         49. COUNTERPARTS. This Lease may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute but one instrument.

         50. NO RECORDING. Neither this Lease, any short form of this Lease nor
any instrument which makes any reference to this Lease may be recorded by Tenant
in the Public Records of Miami-Dade County, Florida. Any such recording shall
constitute a default hereunder.

         51. LIABILITY OF CO-TENANTS. If two or more persons execute this Lease
as Tenant, the liability of each such person hereunder shall be joint and
several. In like manner, if Tenant is made up of a person (as applicable for
purposes of the definition of person provided herein), the members of which are
by virtue of statutory or general law subject to personal liability, the
liability of each such member shall be joint and several.

         52. AUTHORITY. If Tenant signs as a corporation, execution hereof shall
constitute a representation and warranty by Tenant that Tenant is a duly
organized and existing corporation, that Tenant has been and is qualified to do
business in the State of Florida and in good standing with the State of Florida,
that the corporation has full right and authority to enter into this Lease, and
that all persons signing on behalf of the corporation were authorized to do so
by appropriate corporate action. If Tenant signs as a partnership, trust, or
other legal entity, execution hereof shall constitute a representation and
warranty by Tenant that Tenant has complied with all applicable laws, rules and
governmental regulations relative to Tenant's right to do business in the State
of Florida, that such entity has the full right and authority to enter into this
Lease and that all persons signing on behalf of Tenant were authorized to do so

assignment of this Lease upon the same terms and conditions and for the same
consideration, if any, as the bona fide offer made by such person, less any
brokerage commissions which may be payable out of the consideration to be paid
by such person the assignment of this Lease.

nonperformance by Landlord's agent of any act pursuant to Landlord's direction.

                              OPTION TO RENEW RIDER
                              ---------------------

         A. Landlord hereby grants Tenant the option to renew (the "Renewal
Option") the initial Lease Term (not to include, for purposes of this Rider
only, any Renewal Term, as hereinafter defined) for one (1) additional term of
five (5) years (the "Renewal Term"), commencing as of the date immediately
following the expiration of the Lease Term, such option to be subject to the
covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth.

         B. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice (the "Renewal Notice") of
Tenant's election to exercise its Renewal Option not later than one hundred
eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Lease Term. Tenant's failure to
give the Renewal Notice by said date, whether due to Tenant's oversight or
failure to cure any existing defaults or otherwise, shall render the Renewal
Option null and void.

         C. Tenant shall not be permitted to exercise the Renewal Option if
Tenant is in default under the Lease, subject to applicable notice and grace
periods (if any). If Tenant fails to cure any default under the Lease prior to
the commencement of the Renewal Term, subject to applicable notice and grace
periods, the Renewal Term shall be immediately cancelled, unless Landlord elects
to waive such default, and Tenant shall forthwith deliver possession of the
Leased Premises to Landlord as of the expiration or earlier termination of the
Lease Term.

         D. Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Leased Premises in
"as-is" condition as of the commencement of the Renewal Term, subject to any
other repair and maintenance obligations of Landlord under the Lease, it being
understood and agreed that Landlord shall have no additional obligation to
renovate or remodel the Leased Premises or any portion of the Building as a
result of Tenant's renewal of the Lease.

         E. The covenants and conditions of the Lease in force during the
original Term, as the same may be modified from time to time, shall continue to
be in effect during the Renewal Term, except as follows:

                 (1) The "Commencement Date" and "Rent Commencement Date" for
the purpose of the Lease shall be the first day of the Renewal Term.

                 (2) The Base Rent for the first year of the Renewal Term shall
be Base Rent for the final Lease Year of the initial Lease Term, as calculated
in accordance with the terms of the Lease, plus the applicable CPI increase for
such year.

                 (3) Base Rent for each Lease Year of the Renewal Term after the
first Lease Year shall increase in accordance with the terms of paragraph 4 of
the Lease. However, in no event shall Base Rent for any year of the Renewal Term
be less than the amount of Base Rent for the immediately prior year.

                 (4) Following expiration of the Renewal Term as provided
herein, Tenant shall have no further right to renew or extend the Lease.

         F. Tenant's option to renew the Lease shall not be transferable by
Tenant to any assignee or subtenant.

<PAGE>

         G. Tenant shall not be permitted to exercise the Renewal Option with
respect to the ATM Premises if the Lease Term for the Leased Premises is not
extended as well.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have signed this Option to
Renew Rider as of this 25th day of June, 2002.
