Operating Statement, then the matter may be referred to arbitration.

settled by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of
the American Arbitration Association as amended and in effect on the date notice
is given of the intention to arbitrate. The determination of the arbitrators
shall be final, binding and conclusive on all the parties, and judgement may be
rendered thereon by any court having jurisdiction, upon application of either
Landlord or Tenant.
If the Building is not fully occupied during any given Escalation Year, the
Operating Expenses and the Operating Expense Stop shall be equitably adjusted so
that such of those expenses as constitute variable rather than fixed costs (as
determined in accordance with sound accounting practices and principles) shall
be adjusted to reflect vacancies in the Building by projecting such variable
costs as though the Building were 95% occupied throughout such Operating Year;
provided, however, that in no event shall Landlord, by reason of any such
adjustment, be entitled to receive more than 100% of the actual Operating
Expenses.
All amounts, other than the Base Rent, which Tenant is required to pay pursuant
to this Lease, including the Additional Rent, shall constitute additional rent
under this Lease, and if Tenant shall fail to pay any such amounts, Landlord
shall have all the rights, powers and remedies with respect thereto as are
provided herein or by law in the case of nonpayment of rent

knowledge, there are no hazardous substances or petroleum products disposed of

negligence and/or intentional misconduct for failure to furnish any service in a
timely manner due to any causes described in Section 12 and 13, or as a result
of Unforeseen Causes. Any failure or delay as a result of these reasons shall
not be considered an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's quiet enjoyment, use or
possession of the Premises
Tenant's Actions: If Tenant provides written notice to Landlord of an event or
circumstance which requires the action of Landlord with respect to an obligation
of Landlord under the terms of this Lease (hereinafter, a "Required Action"),
and Landlord fails to proceed to take such action as required by the terms of
this Lease within ten (10) business days or less in the event of an Emergency
(defined below), (and thereafter to proceed with due diligence to complete the
Required Action), then Tenant may proceed to take the Required Action upon
delivery of an additional fifteen (15) business days notice or one (1) business
day notice in event of an Emergency to Landlord specifying that Tenant is taking
such Required Action, and if such action was required under the terms of this
Lease to be taken by Landlord, then Tenant shall be entitled to prompt
reimbursement by Landlord of Tenant's reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and
expenses in taking such action plus interest at the Interest Rate (defined
below). In the event Tenant takes such action and such work will affect the
systems and equipment structure of the Project or exterior appearance of the
Project, Tenant shall use only those contractors used by Landlord in the Project
for such work unless such contractors are unwilling or unable to perform such
work, in which event Tenant may utilize the services of any other qualified
contractor which normally and regularly performs similar work in
6 of 15
Comparable Buildings. For purposes of this Section, the term "Emergency" shall
mean the occurrence of a situation or circumstance which threatens to cause
imminent harm to the health or safety of any of the occupants of the Premises or
to the property located in the Premises.
10. ALTERATIONS: Tenant accepts the Premises as being in good repair and
condition, and Tenant shall maintain the Premises in good repair and condition,
reasonable use, wear and tear excepted. Tenant shall not make any alterations,
additions or cosmetic improvements in excess of $1,500.00 annually (provided
such improvements will not be made to any structures or systems) to the Premises
without Landlord's prior written consent and shall permit no lien or claim for
lien of a mechanic, laborer, or supplier or any other lien to be filed against
the Property arising out of work performed, or alleged to have been performed
by, or at the direction of, or on behalf of Tenant
The interest of Landlord in the Property shall not be subject to liens for
improvements made by Tenant or by persons claiming by, through or under it, and
Tenant agrees it shall notify any person making any improvements on its behalf
of this provision Upon request of Landlord, Tenant will execute a short form of
this Lease which may be recorded which states that the terms of this Lease
expressly prohibit any liability to Landlord or its property for any
improvements made by, through or under Tenant
11. RIGHT OF ENTRY: Landlord shall endeavor to provide, at least twenty-four
(24) hours in advance, notice to Tenant, except in the event of an emergency.
Landlord and its agents shall have the right, at all reasonable times during the
Term of this Lease, to enter and inspect the Premises and to make repairs and
alterations Landlord deems necessary, with reasonable notice, except in cases of
emergency. In such cases, no notice shall be required Landlord has the right to
show the Premises to prospective tenants during the last 90 days of the lease
term or at any time after a lease cancellation notice is received. Landlord
shall have the right at all times to alter, renovate, and repair portions of the
Building which do not include the Premises, notwithstanding any temporary
inconvenience or disturbance to Tenant
12. DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES: If a fire or other casualty (collectively,
"Casualty") which damages the Premises or the Building occurs and materially
affects the use of the Premises, Landlord shall employ a Florida licensed Class
"A" contractor ("Contractor") to determine whether the Premises are rendered
substantially untenantable and make an initial estimate of the time needed to
complete necessary repairs to the Building and Premises, Within 10 business days
after the Casualty, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of Contractor's
determinations ("Landlord's Notice") as follows:
A. If Landlord's Notice states that the Premises are rendered substantially
untenantable by the Casualty and Contractor's initial estimate of the time
needed for repair exceeds 120 days, Landlord or Tenant may, by written notice,
terminate this Lease as of the date of the Casualty. If Landlord's Notice states
that the Premises are rendered substantially untenantable by the Casualty but
Contractor's initial estimate of the time needed for repair is 120 days or less,
Landlord will proceed with the restoration of the Premises and Building as set
forth in 12D below. Landlord will use reasonable efforts to make other office
space owned by Landlord available to Tenant for the operation of Tenant's
business or to make other alternate arrangements which are suitable to Tenant
during the time the Premises are being restored If the work is not completed
within 120 days or alternate arrangements are not provided, Tenant may terminate
this Lease as of the date of the Casualty by providing written notice to
Landlord, given no later than 150 days after the date of the Casualty
B. If Landlord's notice states that the Contractor has determined that the
Premises are still substantially tenantable after the Casualty, then neither
Landlord nor Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease provided that
Tenant is able to operate its day to day business in a manner consistent with
its operations prior to the Casualty and Tenant's day to day business operations
have not changed prior to the Casualty.
C. Either party may terminate this lease if the Casualty occurs within the last
6 months of the Lease and Contractor's estimate of the time needed to repair the
damage caused by the Casualty exceeds more than 20% of the remaining term of the
Lease.
D. Written notice of Landlord's or Tenant's election to terminate the Lease
pursuant to A and C above will be given by the 15th business day after receipt
of Landlord's Notice or as otherwise provided in 12(A). Unless the Lease is
terminated, Landlord will repair the Premises and Building (other than leasehold
improvements installed
7 of 15
by Tenant and personal property) to substantially the same condition as existed
immediately prior to the Casualty Tenant shall relocate, at Tenant's expense,
all personal property from the Premises prior to and during the repairs.
E. If the Premises are damaged by Casualty and the Lease is not terminated, the
Rent shall xxxxx for that part of the Premises which is rendered untenantable
and not occupied by Tenant on a per-diem and proportionate area basis from the
date of the Casualty until the date on which Landlord has substantially
completed the required work. In the event that the portion of the Premises
rendered untenantable prevents the Tenant from conducting its business, rent
shall completely xxxxx from the date of the Casualty until the date on which
Landlord has substantially completed the required work. If Landlord makes other
space available to Tenant, Rent for the substitute premises shall be payable as
mutually agreed by both parties, but no more than the Base Rent per square foot
provided herein.
F. Tenant shall carry insurance covering all of Tenant's furniture, fixtures,
machinery, equipment and other personal property located within the Premises and
any leasehold improvements constructed at Tenant's expense in an amount not less
than the full replacement cost thereof, providing coverage on a broad form basis
insuring against all risks of direct physical loss. Unless this Lease is
terminated, the proceeds of such policy shall be used for the repair or
replacement of the insured property. Tenant waives all right of recovery against
Landlord for all losses covered by the insurance policy required to be carried
hereunder and shall cause such policy to contain a waiver of subrogation clause
13. CONDEMNATION: If all or part of the Building is taken or condemned by any
authority for any public use or purpose (including a deed given in lieu of
condemnation), which renders the Premises substantially untenantable, this Lease
shall terminate as of the date title vests in such authority, and the Rent shall
be apportioned as of such date
If any part of the Building is taken or condemned but the Premises are still
substantially tenantable (including a deed given in lieu of condemnation), this
Lease shall not terminate If the taking reduces the leased area in the Premises,
Rent shall be equitably reduced for the period of such taking by an amount which
bears the same ratio to the Rent then in effect as the leased area so taken or
condemned bears to the Leased Area set forth in Section 1B Landlord, upon
receipt and to the extent of the award in condemnation or proceeds of sale,
shall make necessary repairs and restorations (inexclusive of leasehold
improvements and personal property installed by Tenant) to restore the Premises
remaining to as near their former condition as circumstances will permit, and to
the Building and the Property to the extent necessary to constitute the portion
not so taken or condemned as complete.
Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire price or award from any sale,
taking or condemnation without any payment to Tenant. Tenant shall have the
right separately to pursue against the condemning authority an award in respect
to the loss, if any, to leasehold improvements paid by Tenant without any credit
or allowance for Landlord and for any loss for injury, damage, or destruction of
Tenant's business resulting from such taking. Under no circumstances shall
