then the Monthly Installment of Basic Annual Rent and the Monthly Installment of
Additional Rent due for the first calendar month of the first Lease Year shall

Basis. On the Commencement Date and on the first day of each and every calendar
month during the term of this Lease, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord a
Monthly Installment of Basic Annual Rent for the then current Lease Year.

Annual Rent during the first Lease Year is in the amount stated in the Specific
Lease Provisions.(1)

of each Monthly Installment of Basic Annual Rent in each Lease Year after the
first Lease Year shall be computed by dividing the Basic Annual Rent for such
Lease Year by twelve.(2)

Lease which is or may appear to be the contrary, the Basic Annual Rent for any
Lease Year after the first Lease Year shall not be less than 102% or greater
than 108% of the Basic Annual Rent in the prior Lease Year.

Landlord shall send or deliver to the Tenant the letter attached hereto as
Exhibit "A", with the blank lines filled in with the correct information. Within
5 days of receiving the letter, the Tenant shall confirm the information set
forth therein by executing the letter and sending same back to the Landlord. In
the event that the Tenant shall fail to timely execute and send the letter to
the Landlord, the information contained in the letter presented to the Tenant
shall be conclusively deemed to be accurate in all respects and shall constitute
absolute evidence and proof of the matters set forth therein.
b. Additional Rent: Together with the obligation to pay Basic Annual Rent,
the Tenant is also obligated to pay Additional Rent during the term of the
Lease. The failure to timely pay Additional Rent is a failure to timely pay rent
under the provisions of all statutes and laws.
i. Monthly Installment of Additional Rent: The Tenant is obligated
to pay a Monthly Installment of Additional Rent on the Commencement Date and on
the first day of every calendar month during the term of this Lease. The Monthly
Installment of Additional Rent which the Tenant is obligated to pay is the
Tenant's Proportionate Share.
(1) Initial Amount: Until it is changed by the Landlord, the
amount of the Monthly Installment of Additional Rent is that which is set forth
in the Specific Lease Provisions.
(2) Adjusted Amount: The Landlord shall periodically review
its estimate of the Common Expenses. If the Landlord determines that its
estimate requires adjustment, the Landlord shall send Notice thereof to the
Tenant, and from and after the mailing or delivery of such Notice to the Tenant,
the Tenant is obligated to pay each Monthly Installment of Additional Rent in
the amount set forth in the Notice from the Landlord. The Landlord has the right
to adjust (by increase or decrease) the amount of the Monthly Installment of
Additional Rent as often as the Landlord reasonably determines is necessary, and
the Tenant is required to pay each Monthly Installment of Additional Rent in the
amount set forth in the then most recent Notice from the Landlord stating the
amount of the Monthly Installment of Additional Rent.
(3) Reconciliation: During the term of this Lease each year
the Landlord shall furnish the Tenant a statement which sets forth in reasonable
detail the actual Common Expenses for the prior calendar year.
(a) Greater than actual: If the Tenant paid greater than
the Tenant's Proportionate Share of the actual Common Expenses in the prior
calendar year, the difference shall be refunded by Landlord, or applied by
Landlord to amounts than due, or to become due, from the Tenant, at the option
of the Landlord.
(b) Less than actual: If the tenant paid less than the
Tenant's Proportionate Share of the actual Common Expenses in the prior calendar
year, then the difference between what the Tenant paid and Tenant's
Proportionate Share of the actual Common Expenses shall be due and payable to
the Landlord as Additional Rent and shall be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord
within 5 business days of demand.
ii. Other Amounts Due under Lease: All amounts except Basic Annual
Rent to be paid by Tenant under the Provisions Of This Lease are Additional
Rent, and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within 5 business days of demand
thereof.
iii. Payments by Landlord: If Landlord pays any money which is the
obligation of the Tenant according to the Provisions Of This Lease, or if the
Landlord incurs any expense, including reasonable attorney's fees, in the
enforcement of the Landlord's rights under this Lease or the performance of any
obligations otherwise imposed upon the Tenant under the Provisions Of This
Lease, then such money paid and such expense incurred is Additional Rent and
shall be paid to Landlord by Tenant within 5 business days of demand .
iv. Tenant's Excessive Use: If in the reasonable judgment of the
Landlord the Tenant's use of electricity, production of trash or garbage, or
other acts or omissions on the part of Tenant cause a disproportionate increase
in the Common Expenses, it is the responsibility of the Tenant to pay the entire
amount attributed to such increase in the Common Expenses as Additional Rent,
and Tenant shall pay same to Landlord upon each demand within 5 business days of
the demand.
3. Security Deposit: The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord without
interest thereon owing to Tenant, in a separate account or in any general
property management account established by Landlord and may be commingled with
other funds of the Landlord and other third parties. Each time the amount of the
Security Deposit is diminished by Landlord's use, retention or application
thereof, Tenant shall, within 3 days after Landlord's demand, deposit additional
money with Landlord sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original
amount. The obligations to make deposits to restore the Security Deposit are
obligations to make payments of Additional Rent. Landlord may use, apply or
retain the Security Deposit to the extent required for the payment of any sum as
to which Tenant is in default or for any sum which Landlord may expend by reason
of Tenant's default on any of the Provisions Of This Lease. If Tenant shall
comply with all of the Provisions Of This Lease, the Security Deposit shall be
returned to Tenant after the end term of this Lease and after the delivery of
possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord. Landlord has the right to
transfer the Security Deposit to any successor to Landlord's interest in the
Lease, and upon such transfer Landlord is hereby released by Tenant from all
liability for the return of such Security Deposit. The Landlord's rights to
recovery against the Tenant is not limited to the amount of the Security
Deposit.
4. Notices: All Notices shall be sent to Landlord at the Landlord's address as
set forth in the Specific Lease Provisions, or to such other address as the
Landlord shall inform the Tenant in writing. The Tenant shall also send a copy
of each Notice to such persons or entities designated by the Landlord from time
to time. Notice to the Tenant shall be sent to the Tenant's address as set forth
in the Specific Lease Provisions. Each Notice shall be deemed to have been
received 5 days after its deposit in to the United States Mail, certified return
receipt requested. After the Commencement Date, Notice to the Tenant may be
delivered to the Leased Premises, and is hereby deemed to have been received by
the Tenant upon the date delivered whether or not the Tenant actually receives
or is aware of the Notice.
5. Alterations by Tenant: Tenant shall not make any alterations or additions to
the Property, or any part thereof, without written consent of Landlord, which
consent may be withheld for any reason deemed acceptable to Landlord or which
consent may be conditioned upon Tenant performing as required by Landlord,
including the payment of any costs incurred by Landlord.
6. Permitted Uses: Tenant shall use the Leased Premises only for the Permitted
Uses, and then only to the extent that all governmental entities having
jurisdiction over the Property approve such uses. Landlord neither warrants nor

Leased Premises can be used for the Permitted Uses. Notwithstanding any other
statements in this Lease to the contrary, in no event shall the Tenant use the
Leased Premises, or suffer or permit the use of the Leased Premises, in any
manner such that the Leased Premises will be or become a place of public
accommodation under the terms of Title III of the ADA, 42 USC ss.1281, et. seq.,
or the rules and regulations issued thereunder. In its uses of the Property, the

sound and the Landlord's expense in doing same shall be included within the
Common Expenses, unless same is damaged by Tenant and in such event the Tenant
shall repair same at Tenant's expense. The Landlord may elect to maintain the
air conditioning systems in the Leased Premises, and if it so elects, the cost
of all such maintenance (including replacement if necessary) shall be part of
the Common Expenses. If the Landlord does not elect to maintain the air
conditioning systems, the maintenance thereof shall be the responsibility of the
Tenant and the Tenant shall bear all expenses related thereto. Landlord shall
not be required to commence any repair until a reasonable item after written
Notice from the Tenant that such repair is necessary, and thereafter shall have
a reasonable time to complete such repair, which shall in no event be less than
the time period provided by Florida Statutes 83.201. Landlord has no liability
to Tenant for damage or destruction to any real or personal property as a result
of Landlord's failure to repair, or as a result of the repair operations. The
Landlord has no other repair or maintenance obligations, but at its sole option
may elect to perform other repairs or maintenance, and all of the Landlord's
expenses and costs in doing same shall be included within the Common Expenses.
9. Interruption of Services: The Landlord makes no representations or warranties
as to the continuance or non-interruption of service to the Property, including
but not limited to elevator (if one is present on the Property as of the
Commencement Date), lighting, water, electricity, sewerage, cleaning and
maintenance. The Landlord will take such steps as it deems reasonable to provide
such services from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm on normal business days (not holidays or

provided to the Property, including but not limited to a failure as a result of
repairs, renewals, improvements, changes of service, alterations, strikes,
lockouts, labor controversies, inability to obtain fuel or power, accidents,
breakdowns, catastrophes, national or local emergencies, forces of nature, acts
of God and other conditions beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. The
Tenant is not entitled to any abatement of Basic Annual Rent or Additional Rent
for any interruption of, or failure to provide, services to the Property. The
Common Expenses shall include the cost of providing all such services to the
Property.
10. Sales or Lease Tax: Tenant shall pay Landlord any sales, use, excise and
lease taxes and all other similar charges or payments required as a result of
the existence of this Lease or as a result of the payments being made to
Landlord hereunder, which has been imposed or levied by any governmental entity

to this Lease. All such tax payments are due simultaneously with the amount from
which the tax arises or is based, and all such tax payments are Additional Rent.
11. Utilities: Tenant agrees to make all deposits and pay promptly when due all
charges for separately metered utilities supplied to the Leased Premises. Tenant
shall also promptly pay all charges for maintaining any such service, including
any charges for repairing mechanical systems and for installing, repairing and
setting meters.
12. Failure to Deliver Possession: Tenant recognizes that factors beyond the
reasonable control of Landlord may prevent Landlord from delivering the Leased
Premises to the Tenant on the Commencement Date, and Tenant is willing to accept
that risk. In the event that the Landlord fails to deliver possession of the
Leased Premises to the Tenant on the Commencement Date the Landlord shall have
no liability whatsoever to Tenant for such failure or any direct or
consequential damages arising therefrom, and this Lease shall remain in full
force and effect, however, there shall be no Basic Annual Rent or Additional
Rent due hereunder until the Landlord is able to deliver possession to the
Tenant. In the vent of a delay in delivery of possession to the Tenant, the

Tenant shall provide to Landlord, within ten (10) days after Landlord's request
therefor, adequate financial assurances that Tenant will effect such remediation
in accordance with the applicable Environmental Laws. Such financial assurances

and substance and in an amount equal to or greater than Landlord's reasonable
estimate of the anticipated cost of remedy and clean up.
c. Compliance with All Laws: The Tenant is responsible for compliance with
all Environmental Laws and is responsible for remedying any Environmental

attorney's fees and costs incurred by the Landlord thereby, upon delivery of
such information as the Landlord reasonably requests in relation thereto, and
upon receipt of a guarantee and indemnification acceptable to Landlord. If there
is an assignment or subleasing without the express written consent of Landlord,
Landlord may collect Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent from the assignee,
subtenant or occupant and apply the net amount collected to the amounts due
under this Lease; but such collection shall not be deemed a waiver of Landlord's
right to forbid the assignment or sublease and it shall not be deemed to be the
acceptance by Landlord of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as a Tenant
hereunder, or as a release of performance of the obligations of Tenant. Each
time that the Tenant submits a request for the consent of the Landlord to permit
the Tenant to assign or sublease, the Landlord has the option during the 90 day
period following such request to end the term of this Lease as of a date stated
by Landlord, and Landlord has no liability to the Tenant if the Landlord enters
into a lease or other agreement with the proposed subtenant or assignee prior
to, upon, or after such declaration by the Landlord.

appearance and in safe operating condition, so that the entire Leased Premises
is always in substantially the same condition as upon the Commencement Date of
this Lease, reasonable wear excepted. The Tenant shall perform all repairs and
maintenance required of it without necessity of Notice from the Landlord,
however, the Tenant shall also complete all repairs and maintenance which the

any, and has determined that all parts of the Property comply with all
applicable statutes, laws, ordinances, regulations, rules and orders of every
kind and nature now in effect relating to or affecting any part of the Property,
and has not relied upon the representations, if any, of the Landlord in making

the Landlord and at the sole cost and expense of the Tenant. The Tenant is
responsible for all costs associated with compliance with the ADA, including but
not limited to the costs of any changes to the Leased Premises or otherwise

continuance of light or air over or into the Property or any property adjoining
the Property, or a guaranty to preserve any view from any part of the Property;
or a guaranty that access to and from the Property will remain as it is at the
Commencement Date, or a guaranty that the Property will be in any given
condition at any time during the term of this Lease. The Landlord reserves the
absolute right to change any part of the Building or surrounding areas in any
manner deemed acceptable to Landlord. The Landlord has the option, upon a single
payment or credit to the Tenant of twice the amount of the then current Monthly
Installment of Basic Annual Rent, to relocate the Tenant to any other space in
the Building which is of comparable size to that of the Leased Premises. In the
event the Landlord exercises the foregoing option, the Tenant shall surrender,
upon the date stated in the Notice to the Tenant of the Landlord's exercise of
this option, the Leased Premises in the condition otherwise required at the end
of the term of this Lease; and thereafter the Leased Premises shall refer to the
space to which the Tenant is relocated. If the space to which the Leased

the damage, unless the damage was caused by the Tenant, or the officers,
directors, employees, agents or invitees of the Tenant, and in such event the
Tenant at its expense shall immediately restore the Property to its condition
immediately preceding the damage. The Basic Annual Rent shall be abated for so
much of the Leased Premises as may be untenantable during the period of repair
and restoration, unless the damage was caused by the act or omission of the
Tenant and then there shall be no abatement. The Landlord has the option to end
the term of this Lease at a date stated in written Notice to the Tenant if in
the reasonable judgment of the Landlord the Property cannot be restored with the
available insurance proceeds, or if in the reasonable judgment of the Landlord
it is not financially beneficial to the Landlord to restore the Property.
Landlord's only obligation to repair or restore hereunder shall be limited to a
basic building and the replacement of any interior work which may have
originally been installed at Landlord's cost. The obligations of the Tenant to
restore and repair the Property as set forth in this part of the Lease entitled
"Damage to the Property" shall survive the end of the term of this Lease.

Property, materially affecting Tenant's use thereof, shall be acquired or
condemned by right of eminent domain or otherwise for any public or quasi-public

election, may end the term of this Lease by giving Notice of same to Tenant of
its election.

Tenant seeking any such relief;

the Landlord set forth in this part of the Lease entitled "Landlord's Remedies
in Case of Default" shall survive the end of the term of this Lease. If the

or more of the following remedies and rights upon default by the Tenant:
a. All Rights and Remedies Available: The Landlord may pursue all rights
and remedies afforded under the Law of the State of Texas;

thereafter, re-enter and resume possession of the Leased Premises and remove all
persons and property therefrom either by summary dispossession proceedings or by
a suitable action or proceeding, or by force or otherwise, without being liable
for any damages therefor. No re-entry by the Landlord shall be deemed an
acceptance of surrender of this Lease;
c. Relet: The Landlord may relet the whole or any part of the Leased
Premises for a period equal to, or greater, or less than the remainder of the
term of this Lease, at such rental and upon such terms and concessions as the

satisfactory and for any use and purpose which it may deem appropriate. In no
event shall the Landlord be liable in any respect for failure to relet the
Leased Premises, or in the event of such reletting, for failure to collect the
rent thereunder. Any sums or other consideration received by the Landlord on a
reletting in excess of the Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent provided for in
this Lease shall belong to the Landlord;
d. Recovery: If the term of this Lease is ended as a result of default by
the Tenant, whether or not the Leased Premises shall be relet, Tenant shall pay
to the Landlord upon demand the following amounts:

incurred by the Landlord in recovering possession of the Leased Premises;

charges required to be paid by the Tenant under this Lease, less the rent, if
any, collected by the Landlord on reletting the Leased Premises which amount
shall be due and payable by the Tenant to the Landlord on the dates on which
Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent and other charges would have become due
and payable had the term of this Lease not been ended.
e. Separate suits: Separate actions may be instituted by the Landlord
against the Tenant from time to time for the recovery of damages then accrued,
and the Landlord need not wait until the end of the term of this Lease to file
such action(s). Neither the institution of suit nor the entering of judgment
therein shall bar the Landlord from bringing a subsequent suit. Forbearance on
the part of the Landlord in the institution of any suit or entry of judgment
shall in no way serve as a defense against nor prejudice a subsequent action by
Landlord. The Tenant hereby waives any rights it may have to claim a merger of
such subsequent action in any previous suit or in the judgment entered therein.
Claims for Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent may be regarded by the
Landlord, if it so elects, as separate claims capable of being assigned.
f. Landlord's Option: The Landlord, at its election, which shall be
exercised by the service of a written Notice on the Tenant at any time, may
collect from the Tenant and the Tenant shall pay in lieu of the sums otherwise
becoming due under the Provisions Of This Lease after the service of such
Notice, an amount equal to the total of the Basic Annual Rent and Additional
Rent due under this Lease to the End Date, using the then current amount of the
Common Expenses, assuming that the CPI will increase at the rate of 3% per year,
and discounting to present value at a rate of 6%. The Tenant shall be obligated
to pay the foregoing amount, together with the other costs and expenses incurred
by the Landlord as a result of the default by the Tenant.
36. Additional Remedy of Landlord: Notwithstanding and other provision of this
Lease, if Tenant shall fail to timely make any payment due under the Provisions
Of This Lease, or if Tenant shall otherwise fail to timely perform under the
Provisions Of This Lease, then without demand, and without ending the term of
this Lease, Landlord may institute an action or actions against the Tenant from
time to time to recover any of the aforesaid sums, or to compel performance,
which prior to the final judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding shall
then have become due or payable. Neither the institution of such actions nor
entering of judgment therein shall end the term of this Lease, nor shall it bar
the Landlord from bringing subsequent actions. The Tenant hereby expressly
waives any right to claim a merger of such subsequent actions in any previous
action or in judgments entered therein.
37. Landlord's right to injunctive and other relief: In the event of a breach or
threatened breach by Tenant of any of the Provisions Of This Lease, Landlord
shall have the right of injunction and the right to invoke any remedy allowed at
law or in equity as if re-entry, summary proceeding and other remedies were not
herein provided for. Mention in this Lease of any particular remedy shall not
preclude Landlord from any other remedy, in law or in equity. Tenant hereby
expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any
present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed for
any cause, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of Leased Premises,
by reason of default by Tenant under this Lease, or otherwise.

Rent or Additional Rent, the Tenant shall owe to the Landlord and shall pay upon
demand the sum of $250 ("late payment charge") or the maximum lawful charge for
each payment which was due and not timely paid. The late payment charge is not a
penalty, but is the agreed upon liquidation sum that represents the cost to the
Landlord as a result of the late payment. The Landlord's demand for, and
acceptance of, the late payment charge shall not constitute a waiver of the
Landlord's other rights and remedies as provided in this Lease.
39. Interest on unpaid amounts: All amounts due under this Lease which are not
timely paid shall bear interest at the maximum lawful rate, or eighteen percent
per annum, whichever is less, from the time when the amount became due until the

payment. There is no further right to cure, and there is no additional grace

charge provided for in this Lease.
b. Non-monetary defaults: If Tenant default son any of the Provisions Of
This Lease, except for the obligation to make any payments of money to the

time.

by Tenant of any of Tenant's obligations under the Provisions Of This Lease, or
the Landlord's failure to exercise and option herein contained, is not a waiver
or relinquishment for the future of any such option or obligation. The receipt
by Landlord of Basic Annual Rent or Additional Rent, with the knowledge of
Tenant's default, shall not be deemed a waiver of such default. No waiver by the
Landlord of any Provisions Of This Lease shall have been made unless expressed
in writing and signed by the Landlord.
