STANDARD LEASE
THIS LEASE ("Lease") is made as of the _____ day of August, 1998, by and
between BLUE LAKE, LTD., a Florida limited partnership ("Landlord") and CYBEAR,
INC., a Florida corporation, authorized to do business in the State of Florida
("Tenant").
W I T N E S S E T H:
1. PREMISES; BUILDING; AND COMMON AREAS.
A. PREMISES; BUILDING; AND COMMON AREAS. Landlord leases to
Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the Premises described in the Basic Lease
Information Rider (the "BLI Rider") attached to the front of this Lease and
incorporated into this Lease by this reference, and as more particularly
outlined on the floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and by this reference
incorporated herein ("Premises"). The parties hereby agree that the Premises
contain the number of Net Rentable Area set forth in the BLI Rider. The Premises
constitute a portion of the office building campus, including parking spaces,
driveways, walkways, drainage systems, utility systems, greenspace areas, and
other elements of the Blue Lake Corporate Center (collectively the "Building").
In addition to the Premises, Tenant has the right to use, in common with others,
the lobby, public entrances, public stairways, public areas and public elevators
of the Building (the "Common Areas"). The Common Areas serving the Building will
at all times be subject to Landlord's exclusive control and management in
accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease. In addition, the Tenant
shall be entitled to use during the term of this Lease, up to four thousand
square feet of raised flooring located in the Building and identified by
Landlord as available for the Premises. Such raised flooring shall be accepted
by the Tenant in its "as is, where is, with all faults" condition and Tenant
shall be solely responsible for removing the flooring from its current location
and installing such in the Premises. Tenant shall return the flooring to the
Landlord at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, in its current
condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
B. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Provided that no default beyond any
applicable notice and cure periods shall have occurred under this Lease, the
Landlord grants to the Tenant a right of first refusal, exercisable from the
date hereof and continuing through one (1) year prior to the expiration of the
term of this Lease, unless Tenant, prior to such one (1) year, elects to renew
the term hereof as provided in Paragraph 2B hereof, inclusive, to lease the
Expansion Premises as described on Exhibit "A-1" attached hereto and made a part
hereof upon the terms herein provided (the "Right of First Refusal Term"). If
during the Right of First Refusal Term the Landlord shall receive a BONA-FIDE
third-party offer to lease all or a portion of the Expansion Premises ("Third
Party Offer"), then Landlord shall advise Tenant, in writing, of Landlord's
intention to accept such Third Party Offer and shall furnish to Tenant all of
the basic terms and conditions of such Third Party Offer (the "Landlord's
Notice"). Tenant shall thereafter have the option, within ten (10) days
following Tenant's receipt of Landlord's Notice, to exercise its Right of First
Refusal to lease not less than all of the entire Expansion Premises
(notwithstanding a Third Party Offer for the lease of less than all of the
Expansion Premises) by giving notice of its election to exercise its Right of
First Refusal in writing to Landlord (the "Tenant's Acceptance"). If Tenant
timely exercises the right of first refusal, Landlord and Tenant shall, within
five (5) business days thereafter, enter into an amendment to this Lease
affirming the covenants and conditions contained in this Lease, except that the
amendment, with respect to the Expansion Premises shall contain the applicable
business terms and conditions as contained in the Third Party Offer. If Tenant
waives or fails to exercise its right of first refusal, the Landlord may then
lease all or such portion of the Expansion Premises to any other party,
including the third party offerer on the same terms and conditions set forth in
the Landlord's notice and the Right of First Refusal shall thereafter be
terminated on a self-
PAGE 1
----------
BLUE LAKE STANDARD LEASE
effectuating basis and be of no further force or effect until the third party
lease expires (after all elected renewal terms thereof) Notwithstanding the
immediately preceding sentence, Landlord may, additionally, request the Tenant
to execute a written certification of the lapse and termination of the Right of
First Refusal as herein contained.
C. NO RESERVATION. Nothing herein shall constitute a reservation
or other rights in or to the Expansion Premises or shall impose an obligation on
the Landlord to abstain from marketing the Expansion Premises for lease to third
parties, subject to this right of first refusal.
2. LEASE TERM; LEASE DATE
A. GENERAL. The lease term ("Lease Term") is for the period of
time set forth in the BLI Rider, commencing on the Lease Commencement Date set
forth in the BLI Rider ("Commencement Date") and ending on the Lease expiration
date set forth in the BLI Rider ("Expiration Date"). Tenant's obligation to pay
all rent, including Base Rent, Overhead Rent and Additional Rent, (collectively,
"Rent"), as such terms are hereafter defined, will commence on the Rent
Commencement Date. Tenant shall observe and perform all of its obligations under
this Lease (except its obligations to conduct business), from the earlier to
occur of the date that the Premises are delivered to Tenant for the purpose of
commencement of the Tenant's improvements to the Premises or the date Tenant
otherwise takes possession of the Premises (until the Commencement Date) in the
same manner as though the Lease Term began when the Premises were so delivered
to Tenant. Except as specifically provided in the BLI Rider, under no
circumstances, however, may Tenant enter into possession of the Premises prior
to the earlier to occur of the date that the Premises are delivered to Tenant
for the purpose of commencement of Tenant's improvements to the Premises or the
Commencement Date without the express written consent of Landlord and subject to
any reasonable terms of the consent. Tenant shall not be required to pay Rent
(as such term is hereinafter defined) for any period prior to the Rent
Commencement Date or as otherwise stated in the BLI. However, Tenant shall pay
for all utilities and services consumed by or on behalf of Tenant prior to the
Rent Commencement Date for construction, fixturing and move-in. Upon Landlord's
request, Tenant shall execute a "Rent Commencement/Expiration Certification
Rider" in the form attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "I".
B. RENEWAL OPTION. Landlord grants to Tenant an option (the
"Option") to extend the term of this Lease for one (1) additional period of five
(5) years (the "Renewal Term") under the terms set forth below. Tenant shall not
be entitled to exercise the Option unless each of the following conditions shall
be fully satisfied at the time of its exercise: (i) the Lease shall be in full
force and effect; (ii) the Tenant originally named in this Lease, or its
permitted assignees, shall be in possession of the entire Premises; and (iii)
Tenant shall not then be in default under any of the material terms, provisions,
covenants or conditions of the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure
periods. In order to exercise the Option, Tenant must first give written request
to Landlord, not less than twelve (12) months prior to the Expiration Date of
the Initial Lease Term for delivery of Landlord's determination of Market Rent,
as defined below. Base Rent for each Renewal Term shall be equal to the Market
Rent, as determined in accordance with this section ("Market Rent"). Within
thirty (30) days following its receipt of Tenant's request, Landlord shall
advise Tenant of Market Rent for each year of the respective Renewal Term.
Market Rent (including escalations for successive years of the Renewal Term)
shall be determined by Landlord in its reasonable judgment. Landlord's
determination of the Market Rent shall be based, as Landlord reasonably deems
appropriate, upon then current and projected rents for space in the Building,
adjusted for any special conditions applicable to such space and leases, for
location, length of term, amount of space and other factors Landlord deems
relevant in computing rents for space in the Building, including adjustments for
anticipated inflation. Tenant may exercise its option by notifying Landlord,
within 30 days from the date on which Tenant was first advised by Landlord of
its determination of Market Rent, that Tenant has elected to exercise the Option
at the Market Rent determined by Landlord or proceed as provided below. If
Tenant exercises the Option as provided, the Expiration Date of the Lease shall
be extended for the length of the Renewal Term and Base Rent shall be adjusted
to Market Rent. If Tenant shall fail to timely exercise the Option as provided,
Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to exercise the Option and to
occupy the Premises beyond the initial Term of the Lease or beyond any
previously exercised Renewal Term of this Lease. The Base Year for the Renewal
Term shall be the first Lease year of the Renewal Term. Upon a determination of
Base Rent for the First Lease Year of the Renewal Term, Landlord and Tenant
shall agree on a Base Rent schedule, in the same format set forth in the BLI
Rider for the Initial Lease Term, for the balance of the Renewal Term, based
upon the hereinabove prescribed formula. Landlord's determination shall be
based, as Landlord reasonably deems appropriate, upon then current and projected
rents for space in the Building, adjusted for any special conditions applicable
to such space and leases, for location, length of term, amount of space and
other factors Landlord deems relevant in computing rents for space in the
Building, including adjustments for anticipated inflation. Any agreement of
Landlord and Tenant regarding the amount of Market Rent shall be in writing
signed by them within thirty (30) days after the date Tenant was first advised
by Landlord of its initial determination of Market Rent, in which event Tenant
shall be deemed to have exercised the Option. If Landlord and Tenant are unable
to agree upon Market Rent in writing within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant
may nevertheless exercise its option
PAGE 2
----------
BLUE LAKE STANDARD LEASE
by notifying Landlord, within 30 days from the date on which Tenant was first
advised by Landlord of its initial determination of Market Rent, that Tenant has
elected to exercise the Option at the Market Rent determined by Landlord subject
to a reservation of Tenant's right to arbitrate Landlord's determination of
Market Rent in accordance with this Section. If Tenant exercises the Option as
provided, the termination date of the Lease shall be extended for a period of
five (5) years and Base Rent shall be adjusted to Market Rent. If Tenant shall
fail to timely exercise the Option as provided, Tenant shall be deemed to have
waived its right to exercise the Option and to occupy the Premises beyond the
initial term of the Lease. If the parties cannot agree in writing on Market Rent
and Tenant timely exercises the Option, then within thirty (30) days after
Tenant's exercise of the Option, Tenant and Landlord shall each select a
licensed real estate appraiser with at least ten (10) years substantial
commercial leasing expertise particularly in the this area of Palm Beach County,
Florida and notify the other party of such selection, and the selected
appraisers shall in turn select a similar third appraiser who will determine
Market Rent. If the appraisers are unable to agree on a third appraiser within
sixty (60) days after Tenant's exercise of the Option, Market Rent shall be
determined by suit for declaratory relief. The cost of the third appraiser and
any court costs shall be shared equally by the parties. If either party fails to
timely select a appraiser and notify the other party of such selection, the
other party's timely selected appraiser shall unilaterally determine Market
Rent. If Tenant elects to exercise the Option subject to its reservation to
contest Market Rent, Tenant shall nonetheless on the commencement of the Renewal
Term begin paying Base Rent at the Market Rate determined by Landlord. If Market
Rent is ultimately determined to be other than the amount initially determined
by Landlord, the next due payment or payments of Rent shall be appropriately
adjusted to reflect such overpayment or underpayment retroactive to commencement
of the Renewal Term.]
3. RENT
A. BASE RENT. Beginning on the Rent Commencement Date, and
continuing during the Lease Term, Tenant will pay to Landlord in lawful United
States Currency as the base rent for the Premises ("Base Rent") the amounts set
forth in the BLI Rider, with same being payable without demand, setoff or
deduction except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, in advance,
on or before the first day of each month, in equal monthly installments of the
amounts set forth in the BLI Rider, plus applicable sales and other such taxes
as are now or later enacted. All payments of Base Rent, Overhead Rent, (and
Security Deposits if subsequently applicable during the Lease Term), and any
other sums due from Tenant under this Lease shall be made by wire transfer to
such account as may be designated (or re-designated from time to time) by
Landlord's written notice. Such Rent shall be immediately payable to Landlord
upon written demand and any failure to so pay, subject to the grace provisions
set forth in Section 3, shall constitute an Event of Default.
B. OVERHEAD RENT Beginning on the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant
shall pay Tenant's Share, as defined in the BLI Rider, of (i) the total amount
of the annual Operating Expenses (as hereafter defined) and (ii) the total
amount of Taxes (as hereafter defined). As used herein, "Overhead Rent" means
the total of Tenant's allocated Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes.
B.1. "CAP" ON CONTROLLABLE OPERATING EXPENSES.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Tenant's share of the
Controllable Operating Expenses be increased by more than eight (8%) percent, on
a non-cumulative basis, from that charged to the Tenant, as part of Overhead
Rent, for the immediately preceding calendar year. Increases in Operating
Expenses that are not deemed "controllable" as defined hereunder shall not be
limited by the foregoing sentence. Controllable Operating Expenses do not
include (i) Taxes, (ii) utility charges and fees (including, but not limited to,
water, sewer, electrical, telephone, chilled water and ventilation and
air-conditioning charges, cable communications and the like), (iii) premiums for
any increases in insurance contracted for by Landlord to the extent that any
such increases shall be a commercially reasonable judgment by Landlord, and in
conformance with responsible management customary for a Building of the size,
nature and character of the Building; (iv) minimum wage changes, and (v) costs
resulting from changes in law, to the extent however that any such cost is
incurred as to an item which is otherwise chargeable as an Operating Expense and
is not otherwise an exclusion from Operating Expenses.
B.2. ESTIMATES OF OVERHEAD RENT. Prior to each subsequent
calendar year, beginning with the calendar year immediately following the Base
Year, Landlord shall, in advance, reasonably estimate for each such calendar
year the total amount of the Overhead Rent. One-twelfth (1/12) of the estimated
Overhead Rent shall be payable monthly, along with the monthly payment of the
Base Rent.
B.3. RECONCILIATION STATEMENT. It is estimated that on or
before March 31 following a calendar year for which Overhead Rent is payable
hereunder, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a reconciliation statement showing
the amount of the actual components of Overhead Rent for the immediately
previous calendar year only. Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately
preceding sentence, should Landlord fail to provide Tenant with a reconciliation
statement by June 30 for the immediately preceding calendar year, Tenant shall
have no further liability for any additional payment to Landlord that would
otherwise be reflected and required in the said reconciliation statement for the
preceding year. If the reconciliation statement reflects an underpayment in
either
PAGE 3
----------
BLUE LAKE STANDARD LEASE
component of Overhead Rent, Landlord shall also deliver to Tenant an invoice
which Tenant shall pay within thirty (30) days following receipt of such
invoice. If the reconciliation statement reflects an overpayment in either
component of Overhead Rent, Tenant shall be entitled to either, at Landlord's
option, to a credit against the next month's payment of Rent together with a
refund check from Landlord for the balance of such overpayment or a refund check
from the Landlord for the entire amount of such overpayment If the Lease has
expired, the overpayment shall be refunded. In no event shall the Base Rent
under this Lease be reduced by virtue of this Section. As used in this paragraph
3., the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(1) The term "Operating Expenses" shall mean (i) any and
all reasonable costs of ownership, management, operation, repair and maintenance
of the Building, including, without limitation, wages, salaries, professionals'
fees, taxes, insurance, benefits and other payroll burdens of all employees,
Building Management fee, Common Area janitorial, maintenance, guard and other
services, building management office rent or rental value, power, fuel, water,
waste disposal, chilled water and hearing, ventilating and air conditioning
charges, stand-by electric generator system maintenance, upkeep, monitoring and
refueling charges, landscaping care, lighting, garbage removal, window cleaning,
system maintenance, parking area care, fees and assessments paid to or on behalf
of the "Association" (as later defined herein), and any and all other utilities
not separately metered for the Premises or a portion thereof, materials,
supplies, maintenance, repairs, insurance applicable to the Building and
Landlord's personal property and depreciation on personal property, and (ii) the
cost (amortized over such reasonable period as Landlord shall determine together
with interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum on the unamortized
balance) of any capital improvements made to the Building by Landlord after the
date of this Lease that reduce in a commercially reasonable manner Operating
Expenses or made to the Building by Landlord after the date of this Lease that
are required under any governmental law or regulation; provided, however, that
Operating Expenses shall not include real property taxes, depreciation on the
Building, costs of tenants' improvements, marketing or advertising costs for the
rental or sale of the Building, costs of electricity or other utilities
separately metered for other tenant's spaces, executive or managerial salaries
or benefits above the level of management, consulting fees not related to
operation, management or repairs, market study fees, capital repairs or
replacements (except as provided above), real estate broker's commissions, costs
of repairs covered and paid by insurance (subject to deductibles paid by
Landlord), fines or penalties for Landlord's failure to pay taxes and
assessments before such became delinquent, or any other obligation on time,
points, fees and interest charges, principal payments or any other payments of
any kind related to Landlord's financing or refinancing of the Building as a
whole, transaction costs directly incurred in a sale or transfer of the
Building, expenses resulting from defective construction work performed by
Landlord, the initial acquisition and installation costs of the stand-by
electrical generator and related systems, interest and capital items other than
those referred to in subsection (ii) above. Landlord shall maintain accounting
books and records in accordance with sound accounting principles. Landlord
hereby agrees to deduct each calendar year from the amount of the Operating
Expenses the total amount of any and all sums, amounts or charges paid by Tenant
or other tenants of the Building directly to Landlord or its agent for specific
tenant requested services or specific utility charges, if applicable.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the definition of

6. ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES; LANDLORD'S WORK
Taking possession of the Premises by Tenant shall be conclusive
evidence that the Premises were in good and satisfactory condition when
possession was so taken subject to latent defects and Landlord's maintenance and
repair obligations provided in this Lease. Unless expressly stated herein to the
contrary, Landlord has no obligation to repair, improve, or add to the Premises
subsequent to Tenant's taking possession thereof and Tenant shall, at its sole
cost and expense and in compliance with the provisions of this Lease, be
responsible for any changes, alterations, replacements or repairs, maintenance
and decorations to the Premises. Except as may be specifically provided in this
Lease, Tenant shall not be required to make alterations to the structural or
base building improvements of the Building. Neither Landlord nor Landlord's
agents have made any representations or promises with respect to the physical
condition of the Building or the Premises, or any other matter or thing
affecting or relating to Premises except as herein expressly set forth, and no
rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Tenant by implication or
otherwise, except as expressly set forth in the provisions of this Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that
it has not received any notice that the Building is currently in violation of
any laws, regulations or ordinances. Any existing ceiling system and demountable
partitions are to remain in the Premises at the time of the delivery of the
Premises and may be utilized by Tenant without charge. Improvements, if any, to
be made to the Premises by Tenant shall be made in accordance with the Work
Letter. Landlord's published list of pre-approved general contractors and
architects for The Blue Lake Corporate Center, as may be amended from time to
time by Landlord at its sole option (except if Landlord has already approved a
general contractor or architect), shall have the exclusive right to bid for
Tenant's construction contracts. Improvements, if any, to be made to the
Premises by Landlord are specifically set forth in the Work Letter and there are
no others. All leasehold improvements (as distinguished from trade fixtures and
apparatus) installed in the Premises at any time, whether by or on behalf of
Tenant or by or on behalf of Landlord, shall not be removed from the Premises at
any time, unless such removal is consented to in advance by Landlord; and at the
expiration of this Lease (either on the Expiration Date or upon such earlier
termination as provided in this Lease), all such leasehold improvements shall be
deemed to be part of the Premises, shall not be removed by Tenant when it
vacates the Premises, and title thereto shall vest solely in Landlord without
payment of any nature to Tenant. All trade fixtures and apparatus (as
distinguished from leasehold improvements) owned by Tenant and installed in the
Premises shall remain the property of Tenant and shall be removable at any time,
including upon the expiration of the Term; provided that Tenant shall repair any
damage to the Premises caused by the removal of said trade fixtures and
apparatus and shall restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as
existed prior to the installation of said trade fixtures and apparatus. The
taking of possession by Tenant (or any permitted assignee or subtenant of
Tenant) of all or any portion of the Premises for the conduct of business will
be deemed conclusive evidence that Tenant has found the Premises, and all of
their fixtures and equipment, acceptable, subject to latent defects and
Landlord's maintenance and repair obligations provided in this Lease.
7. PARKING
A. RESERVATIONS. Landlord has and reserves the right to
reasonably alter the methods used to control parking and the right to reasonably
establish such controls and rules and regulations (such as parking stickers to

vehicles improperly parked, blocking ingress or egress lanes, or violating
parking rules, at the expense of the offending tenant and/or owner of the
vehicle.
B. CONDITIONS. Tenant's right to use, and its right to permit its
principals and guests to use, the parking facilities pursuant to this Lease are
subject to the following conditions: (i) Landlord reserves the right to
reasonably reduce the number of spaces in the parking area by not more than ten
percent (10%) of the then number of parking area spaces in the parking area
and/or reasonably change access thereto so long as such does not materially
reduce the number of parking spaces within reasonable proximity to the Premises;
and none of the foregoing shall entitle Tenant to any claim against Landlord or
to any abatement of Rent (or any part thereof); (ii) Landlord has no obligation
to provide a parking lot attendant and Landlord shall have no liability on
account of any loss or damage to any vehicle or the contents thereof except to
the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, or its

8. BUILDING SERVICES
A. GENERAL. In general, the services set forth below will be
provided by Landlord or Landlord's licensee or an independent contractor
contracted for by Landlord at a service level set, defined and regulated
consistent with office buildings of similar quality to and in the same immediate
geographic area as the Building. During the Lease Term, the regular business
hours ("Business Hours") of the Building (including the auditorium and
cafeteria) will be 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, except
holidays generally recognized by state and federal governments or as may be
shortened in accordance with applicable policies or regulations adopted by any
utility company servicing the Building or government. During periods other than
Business Hours chilled water will be available from Landlord or its energy
manager on prior request on an as-available basis at the per-ton-pricing from
time-to-time then in effect, except if such chilled water is separately metered
to the Premises, in which event Tenant shall pay the costs of such chilled water
as provided in below. Landlord reserves the right to increase the Business
Hours. The Building will be accessible to Tenant, its subtenants, agents,
servants, employees, contractors, invitees or licensees (collectively, "Tenant's
Agents") twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week except in the case of
temporary closure due to emergencies, repairs, casualty, governmental or
quasi-governmental requirements or as Landlord reasonably deems necessary in
order to prevent damage or injury to person or property. Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts not to materially disturb or interfere with Tenant's business
or Tenant's use of the Premises in connection with any such entry.

(a) Landlord is the exclusive vendee of electrical utility
services for the Project. There shall be installed, at Landlord's expense, in
conformance with the Work Letter, separate electric metering for the Premises.
Tenant shall pay all applicable security deposits required to secure electrical
services as provided in the BLI Rider. Landlord shall be solely responsible for
the expenses of all sub-metering for all other utility services to the Premises,
to the extent such may be reasonably sub-metered. In the event that sub-metering
is not available until completion of all demising work for the Premises prior to
the Rent Commencement Date electric power will be available through the auspices
of the Landlord or its utility vendor for the purpose of lighting and general
office equipment use in amounts consistent with Building Standard Electric
Capacities. Landlord reserves the right after business hours during non-Business
Hours to turn off all unnecessary lighting in the unoccupied areas of the
Building to minimize the energy consumption of the Building. Tenant will not,
without written consent of Landlord connect with electric current except through
existing electrical outlets in the Premises, any major apparatus or major device
for the purpose of using electric current, except for Tenant's ability to add a
supplemental package air-conditioning unit as provided in this Section 8.
(2) STAND-BY ELECTRIC GENERATOR RIDER. Tenant may participate in
the stand-by electric generator service program available to the Building by
executing the stand-by electric generator subscription rider attached hereto and
made a part hereof as Exhibit "G".
(3) AIR-CONDITIONING SERVICES:
Landlord agrees that either Landlord or its designated utility manager
(the "Utility Manager") shall provide, air-conditioning services to the Premises
which air-conditioning services (including chilled water) shall be separately
metered to the Premises and billed directly by either Landlord or the Utility
Manager directly to Tenant. During Business Hours, air conditioning consistent
with comparable buildings in the Boca Raton area shall be supplied to the
Premises for the purposes of comfort control in the Premises during regular
business hours consistent with comparable office buildings in the Boca Raton
area. Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord's air-conditioning system is not
designed to cool machinery and equipment. Tenant shall not re-direct, or in any
manner modify, the air-conditioning duct distribution to accommodate Tenant's
build-out unless any such modifications are first approved in writing by the
Landlord, which modifications shall be designed only by an engineer pre-approved
by the Landlord. If Tenant requires additional air-conditioning services for
comfort control during Business Hours, (i.e., in excess of Building Standard) or
during non-Business Hours Landlord shall, in response to Tenant's request for
any such additional air-conditioning service accommodate Tenant subject to
availability at the then prescribed per-ton hour basis which service shall be
billed to Tenant as Additional Rent. At the time of the execution of this Lease,
the per-ton hour charge for additional air-conditioning services is $.24. This
rate may be subject to change during the Lease Term as evaluated and determined
by FPL Services, the Utility Manager or a similar service. At Landlord's option,
Landlord may secure air-conditioning controls (thermostats) in lockable metal
boxes to regulate the efficiency and use of the system. The Landlord may, at its
option, contract with FPL Services, or such other provider of chilled-water
distribution system sources as the Landlord may reasonably elect.

freight elevators are subject to Landlord's reasonable rules and regulations.
(6) WINDOW WASHING:
Landlord will provide exterior window washing with reasonable
frequency.
B. INTERRUPTION OF SERVICES. Tenant understands and agrees that
Landlord does not warrant that any of the services referred to above, or any
other services which Landlord may supply, will be free from interruption. Tenant
acknowledges that any one or more of such services may be suspended by reason of
accident or repairs, alterations or improvements necessary to be made, or by
strikes or lockouts, or by reason of operation of law, or other causes beyond
the control of Landlord. No such interruption or discontinuance of service will
be deemed an eviction or a disturbance of Tenant's use and possession of the
Premises or any part thereof, or render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages or
abatement of Rent or relieve Tenant from the responsibility of performing any of
Tenant's obligations under this Lease. However, to the extent that electrical
service is interrupted for more than five (5) consecutive business days due to
the negligence or wilful act of the Landlord, its agents, employees or
contractors, and such interruption prevents the Tenant from occupying the
Premises for its business operations and Tenant does not occupy the Premises for
the duration of such interruption, Rent shall xxxxx to the extent that such
interruption continues beyond the five (5) consecutive business day period.
C. FIBER OPTICS. Tenant may contract with BellSouth, which has
been provided access through the underlying property by Landlord for
telecommunication service wiring and installation and which has been designated
by the Landlord as the vendor of choice at the Blue Lake Building, for
voice and data telecommunication wiring and services, and installing any
telecommunication products and, specifically, dual access points for Tenant's
fiber optic lines, at Tenant's sole expense. To the extent that such
installation requires the digging of a trench through the Property in order to
gain dual access points, the Tenant shall provide the Landlord with plans and
schematics for the referenced installation which plans and schematics shall be
subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Landlord and which installation
shall be further subject to the approval, as necessary, of the City of Boca
Raton or other agencies having jurisdiction thereon.
D. UTILITY DEREGULATION: Landlord has advised Tenant that
presently, Florida Power & Light ("Electric Service Provider") is the utility
company selected by Landlord to provide utility service for the Building.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if permitted by law, Landlord shall have the
right at any time and from time to time during the Lease Term to either contract
for service from a different company or companies providing electric service (a
such company shall hereinafter be referred to as an "Alternate Service
Provider") or continue to contract for service from the Electric Service
Provider. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord, the Electric Service Provider
and any Alternate Service Provider at all times and, as reasonably necessary,
shall allow Landlord, Electric Service Provider, and any Alternate Service
Provider reasonable access to the Building's electric lines, feeders, risers,
wiring and any other machinery within the Premises. Landlord shall be in no way
liable or responsible for any loss, damage or expense that Tenant may sustain or
incur by reason of change, failure, interference, disruption or defect in the
supply or character of the electric energy furnished to the Premises (except to
the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its
agents, employees or contractors), or if the quantity or character of the
electric energy supplied by the Electric Service Provider or any Alternate
Service Provider is no longer available or suitable for Tenant's requirements,
then no such change, failure, defect, unavailability or unsuitability shall
constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle
Tenant to any abatement or diminution of Rent, or relieve Tenant from any of its
obligations under the Lease.
9. SECURITY
With respect to security for the Building and the parking lot,
Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows: Security of the Premises is the
sole responsibility of the Tenant and that the Landlord has no liability for
breach of security to the Premises. Tenant may at Tenant's expense install a
security system to the Premises; provided, however, that Tenant, in addition to
access otherwise required hereunder, will provide Landlord adequate access to
the Premises in case of emergencies particularly regarding Premises that contain
fire sprinkler risers and equipment. Landlord will install in the Building, an
access device, such as a keypad or card reader, as Landlord may deem appropriate
for the Building, in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. All repairs
required to the Premises caused by security breaches are the responsibility of
the Tenant, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct
of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors, however, Landlord may elect
to effect such repairs, if appropriate to insure continued security, protection
of property, or safety of life. The cost of such repairs shall be Additional
Rent.
A. TENANT'S RESPONSIBILITY. Tenant shall: (1) abide by all
reasonable policies, procedures and rules and regulations for use of the access
system, (2) report promptly the loss or theft of all keys which would permit
unauthorized entrance to the Premises, Building or parking lot, (3) promptly
report to Landlord door-to-door solicitation or other unauthorized activity in
the Building or parking lot, and (4) promptly inform the Landlord's security
contractor in the event of a break-in or other emergency. In addition, Tenant

BLUE LAKE STANDARD LEASE
for Landlord's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The
Tenant shall deliver mechanic's lien releases prior to the initiation of the
work.
B. INTERRUPTION OF SECURITY. Tenant acknowledges that the above
security provisions may be suspended or modified at Landlord's sole discretion
or as a result of causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. No such
interruption, discontinuance or modification of security service will constitute
an eviction, constructive eviction, or a disturbance of Tenant's use and
possession of the Premises, and further, no interruption, discontinuance or
modification of security service will render Landlord liable to Tenant or
third-parties for damages, abatement of Rent, or otherwise, or relieve Tenant of
the responsibility of performing Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
C. HURRICANE SHUTTER OPTION. Tenant may, at Tenant's sole cost
and expense (which shall include all expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord
unless plans for hurricane shutters were incorporated as part of the initial
construction document review process) install protective hurricane shutters on
the interior of the windows of the Premises. Any such installation of hurricane
shutters shall be subject to the prior approval of the Landlord, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld. The hurricane shutters shall be approved by
the Landlord as to size, color, type of shutter, mode of attachment and such
other criteria as Landlord shall from time-to-time determine. The Tenant must
also receive the approval of the City of Boca Raton, Florida prior to the
installation of hurricane shutters.

of Tenant or Tenant's Agents, or (ii) the conduct of business in the Premises.
Should Landlord elect to make repairs or maintenance occasioned by the
occurrence of any of the foregoing, Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent all such
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord. Landlord shall have the
right to reasonably approve in advance all work, repair, maintenance or
otherwise, to be performed under this Lease by Tenant and all of Tenant's
repairmen, contractors, subcontractors and suppliers performing work or
supplying materials. Tenant shall
PAGE 10
----------
BLUE LAKE STANDARD LEASE
be responsible for all permits, inspections and certificates for accomplishing
the above. Tenant shall obtain lien waivers for all work done in or to the
Premises, by contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers retained by Tenant.
11. TENANT'S ALTERATIONS
A. GENERAL. During the Lease Term, Tenant will make no
alterations, additions or improvements in or to the Premises or the Building
envelope, structure, roof, mechanical and plumbing systems, electrical systems,
or any area in which asbestos has been located (as noted in the Environmental
Report (as hereinafter defined) or as identified in writing by the Landlord) ,
and will perform no work the cost of which is in excess of $20,000.00 in the
aggregate (any and all of such alterations, additions or improvements other than
those set forth in the Work Letter attached hereto are collectively referred to
in this Lease as the "Alteration(s)", and the foregoing Alterations collectively
referred to as "Major Alterations"), without the prior written consent of
Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant shall submit
to Landlord detailed drawings and plans of the proposed Major Alterations at the
time Landlord's consent is sought. Upon Landlord's consent to any proposed Major
Alterations by Tenant, such consent will be conditioned upon Tenant's agreement
to comply with all reasonable requirements established by Landlord, including
safety requirements and the matters referenced in Section 22 of this Lease. All
Alterations shall be done in compliance with all other applicable provisions of
this Lease and with all applicable laws, ordinances, directives, rules and
regulations of government or authorities having jurisdiction, including, without
limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Florida Accessibility
Code, and all laws dealing with the abatement, storage, transportation and
disposal of asbestos or other hazardous materials, which work, shall be effected
by contractors and consultants reasonably approved by Landlord and in compliance
with all applicable laws and with Landlord's rules and regulations. Tenant may
provide Landlord with a list of proposed contractors and consultants regularly
engaged by Tenant for minor Alterations such as carpeting, painting, and low
voltage wiring. Once such list has been approved by Landlord, the Tenant shall
not be required to obtain separate approvals for such contractors and
consultants for each such minor Alterations project. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Section, Tenant shall not penetrate or disrupt
the structural columns of the Building located within the Premises; and shall
not penetrate or disrupt any area within three (3) feet of any structural column
in performing any Alterations, without Landlord's prior written consent which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All Material Alterations shall be
performed by those pre-qualified architects and contractors designated by
Landlord as approved for the Blue Lake Corporate Center, a list of which are
attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "B-3", which list is subject
to amendment from time-to-time. If Tenant elects to remove any Major Alterations
at the expiration of the Lease, Tenant shall repair any and all damage caused to
the Premise by such removal. Additionally, prior to the commencement of any work
by or for Tenant, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord certificates evidencing the
existence of builder's risk, comprehensive general liability, and worker's
compensation insurance complying with the requirements of Insurance Section of
this Lease. Any damage to any part of the Building that occurs as a result of
any Alterations shall be repaired by Tenant, as soon as reasonably practicable,
to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord. Tenant and its contractor and all
other persons performing any Alterations shall abide by the Landlord's
reasonable job site rules and regulations and reasonably cooperate with
Landlord's construction representative in coordinating all of the work in the
Building including, without limitation, the hours of work, parking, and use of
the construction elevator. Landlord shall not charge any other fee to Tenant in
respect of Landlord's construction representative. All alterations will comply
with the requirements of any energy efficiency program offered by the electric
service provided to the Building to the extent practicable. All materials used
in any Major Alterations, including, without limitation, paint, carpet, wall or
window coverings, carpet glues, and any other chemicals shall be subject to
Landlord's prior written reasonable approval. All alterations shall be done in a
good and workmanlike manner. Tenant shall, prior to the commencement of any
Alterations, obtain and exhibit to Landlord any governmental permit required for
the Alterations. Within ten (10) days after completion of any Alteration, Tenant
shall deliver to the Landlord, copies of any plans and specifications for such
Alteration. All contractors, sub-contractors, mechanics, laborers and
materialmen shall be put on notice of and shall be subject to the fact that
Tenant is not authorized to subject Landlord's interest in the Building or the
Premises to any claim for construction, mechanics, laborer's and materialman's
liens and all persons dealing directly or indirectly with Tenant may not look to
the Landlord's interest in the Premises as security for payment, all as more
fully provided in Section 26 of this Lease.
B. ALTERATION COSTS.
(1) Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent (or to
its nominee or designated contractor, as Landlord may direct) in connection with
all Major Alterations (other than the initial tenant improvements) reasonable
fees and costs of Landlord's engineers, architects, and construction managers
for review and approval of all plans and specifications for such Major
Alteration, and for all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord
as a result of or in connection with each such Major Alteration, based on an
hourly fee and reasonable and customary hours expended for each such Major
Alteration.
(2) The Major Alteration costs shall be paid monthly
installments during the course
PAGE 11
----------
BLUE LAKE STANDARD LEASE
of the performance of the Major Alteration, within thirty (30) days from receipt
of Landlord's reasonably detailed invoice. Within thirty (30) days after
completion of the Major Alteration, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the entire
balance of the Major Alteration costs if not theretofore paid in full.
12. LANDLORD'S ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS
Landlord has the right to make changes in and about the Building and
parking areas, including, but not limited to, signs, entrances, address or name
of Building. Such changes may include, but not be limited to, rehabilitation,
redecoration, refurbishment and refixturing of the Building and expansion of or
structural changes to the Building. The right of Tenant to quiet enjoyment and
peaceful possession given under the Lease will not be deemed breached or
interfered with by reason of Landlord's actions pursuant to this paragraph so
long as such actions do not materially deprive Tenant of its use and enjoyment
of the Premises. If Landlord voluntarily changes the street address of the
Building, then Landlord will reimburse Tenant for all reasonable expenses
incurred by Tenant in connection with reprinting stationery, business cards, and
brochures due to such change (but not to exceed $5,000.00), unless Landlord
provides Tenant at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior written notice of
such change.
13. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
A. LANDLORD'S CONSENT REQUIRED. Except as provided below with
respect to assignment of this Lease following Tenant's bankruptcy, neither
Tenant, nor Tenant's legal representatives or successors-in-interest by
operation of law or otherwise will effect a "Transfer", as herein defined
without first obtaining the consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord shall
not unreasonably withhold or delay provided that all of the requirements of
paragraph B. of this Section 13 are satisfied. As used in this Section 13, any
of the following shall be deemed to be a Transfer ("Transfer"): assignment of
this Lease, in whole or in part; sublet of all or any part of the Premises; any
license allowing anyone other than Tenant to use or occupy all or any part of
the Premises; a pledge or encumbrance by mortgage or other instrument of
Tenant's interest in this Lease; any transfer of corporate shares as described
in paragraph C. of this Section 13; or any transfer of partnership interest as
described in paragraph D. of this Section 13. Consent by Landlord to any
transfer shall not constitute a waiver of the requirement for such consent to
any subsequent transfer. Upon such approved assignment, Tenant shall not be
released from its obligations hereunder arising after such assignment has been
accomplished, unless the approved assignee specifically assumes, in writing, for
the benefit of the Landlord, all such obligations, in which event Tenant shall
be released of all such obligations hereunder.
B. CONDITIONS FOR TRANSFER APPROVAL. Unless all of the following
conditions are satisfied, Landlord withholding of consent will be deemed
reasonable:
(1) In Landlord's reasonable judgment, the proposed
assignee or subtenant or occupant is engaged in a business or activity, which
(a) is in keeping with the then zoning requirements, (b) is limited to the use
of the Premises as set forth in the BLI Rider, and (c) will not violate any
negative covenant as to use contained in any other lease of office space in the
Building; (d) use of the Premises by the proposed transferee or assignee will
not violate or create any potential violation of any laws or any other
agreements affecting the Premises, the Building, the Landlord or other tenants;
(2) The proposed transferee is a reputable person of good
character, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, and has sufficient financial
wherewithal to discharge its obligations under this Lease and/or the proposed
Agreement of Assignment or the Sublease.
(3) The form of the proposed sublease or instrument of
assignment or occupancy shall be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and shall
comply with the applicable provisions of this Section;
(4) There shall not be more than a total of three (3)
occupying entities (including Tenant and any assignee or sublessee requiring
approval by Landlord hereunder) of the Premises; and
(5) The proposed subtenant or assignee or occupant shall
not be entitled, directly or indirectly, to diplomatic or sovereign immunity and
shall be subject to the service of process in, and the jurisdiction of the
courts of the State of Florida.
(6) Such transferee (if an assignment) shall assume in
writing, in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, all of Tenant's
obligations hereunder and Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of such
assumption/ transfer document;
(7) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all of its
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred with respect to the
transfer, not to exceed $5,000.00.
(8) Tenant to which the Premises were initially leased
shall continue to remain liable under this Lease for the performance of all
terms, including but not limited to, payment of Rental due under this Lease;
(9) Tenant's Guarantor, if any, shall continue to remain
liable under the terms of the Guaranty of this Lease and, if Landlord deems it
necessary, such guarantor shall execute such
PAGE 12
----------
BLUE LAKE STANDARD LEASE
documents necessary to insure the continuation of its guaranty;
(10) Each of Landlord's Mortgagees shall have consented in
writing to such transfer.
(11) Tenant shall give notice of a requested transfer to
Landlord, which notice shall be accompanied by (a) a conformed or photostatic
copy of the proposed assignment or sublease, the effective or commencement date
of which shall be at least thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice, (b)
a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the identity of the proposed
assignee or subtenant, the nature of its business and its proposed use of the
Premises, (c) current financial information with respect to the proposed
assignee or subtenant, including, without limitation, its most recent financial
report and (d) such other information as Landlord may reasonably request.
(12) The proposed use of the Premises by the Transferee
will not require increased services from the Landlord from that provided to
Tenant under the Lease.
(13) Then sublease or assignment will not violate any
exclusivity clause contained in any lease affecting any portion of the Building.
C. TRANSFER OF CORPORATE SHARES. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet all or
any portion of the Premises from time to time, without Landlord's consent, to
any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant, or to
any successor of Tenant resulting from a merger or consolidation of Tenant, or
as a result of a sale by Tenant of all or substantially all of its assets or
stock, provided that no such transfer shall relieve Tenant or the Guarantor from
any liability under this Lease, whether accrued to the date of such transfer or
thereafter accruing. In addition, any change in the controlling interest in the
stock of Tenant as a result of an initial public offering of Tenant's stock, and
any transfer of the capital stock of Tenant by persons or parties through the
"over-the-counter market" or through any recognized stock exchange, shall not be
deemed to be a transfer requiring Landlord's consent. Landlord shall not be
entitled to receive any portion of the Transfer consideration as described below
arising out of an assignment or sublease not requiring Landlord's consent.
Tenant shall provide written notice of such assignment or subletting, together
with the name and address of the assignee or subtenant, five (5) days prior to
the assignment or subletting to the extent permitted by law, but in no event
more than ten (10) days after such assignment or subletting.
D. ACCEPTANCE OF RENT FROM TRANSFEREE. The acceptance by Landlord
of the payment of Rent following any assignment or other transfer prohibited by
this Section shall not be deemed to be a consent by Landlord to any such
assignment or other transfer nor shall the same be deemed to be a waiver of any
right or remedy of Landlord hereunder. Following a permitted sub-lease, if
Tenant breaches any of the terms and provisions of this Lease, Landlord may
elect to receive directly from the Sub-tenant due or payable to Tenant by
Sub-Tenant pursuant to the Sub-Lease, and upon receipt of a written notice from
Landlord referencing this section, Sub-Tenant shall have to pay to Landlord any
and all sums becoming due or payable under the Sub-Lease. Tenant shall receive
from Landlord a corresponding credit for such sums against any payments then due
or thereafter becoming due from Tenant. Neither the giving of such written
notice to Sub-Tenant nor the receipt of such direct payments from the Sub-Tenant
shall cause the Landlord to assume any of Tenant's duties, obligations, and/or
liabilities under any sublease, nor shall such event impose upon Landlord the
duty or obligation to honor the sublease or subsequently to accept Sub-Tenant's
attornment.
E. If, this Lease is purported to be assigned, without the
consent of the Landlord, or the Premises are sublet or occupied by anyone other
than Tenant, Landlord may accept rents from the assignee, subtenant or occupant
and apply the net amount received to the Rent reserved in this Lease, but no
such assignment, subletting, occupancy or acceptance of Rent shall be deemed a
waiver of the requirement for Landlord's consent as contained in this section or
constitute a novation or otherwise release Tenant from its obligations under
this Lease.
F. If Landlord shall consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall in
consideration therefor, pay to Landlord as Additional Rent, an amount equal to
one hundred (100%) percent of the Transfer Consideration, or Landlord may elect
to recapture the Transferred portion of the Premises and terminate this Lease
with respect to that portion only. For purposes of this paragraph, the term
Transfer Consideration shall mean in any Lease Year (i) any rents, additional
charges or other consideration payable to Tenant by the transferee of the
Transfer which is in excess of the Base Rent and Overhead Rent accruing during
such Lease Year, net of the reasonable costs incurred by Tenant in connection
with the Transfer including but not limited to reasonable fees paid to Tenant's
attorneys and accountants with respect to the Transfer, broker commissions, and
advertising costs associated therewith, and improvement costs. Landlord shall
have the right to audit Tenant's books and records during normal business hours,
at a location in South Florida reasonably designated by Tenant, upon reasonable
notice to determine the amount of Transfer Consideration payable to Landlord. In
the event such audit reveals an understatement of Transfer Consideration in
excess of five percent (5%) of the actual Transfer Consideration due Landlord,
Tenant shall pay for the cost of such audit within ten (10) business days after
Landlord's written demand
PAGE 13
----------
BLUE LAKE STANDARD LEASE
for same otherwise, Landlord shall be solely responsible for the costs of such
audit.
G. Any permitted sublease shall provide: (i) the subtenant shall
comply with all applicable terms and conditions of this Lease to be performed by
Tenant (except as to Rent); (ii) the sublease is expressly subject to all of the
terms and provisions of this Lease; and (iii) unless Landlord elects otherwise,
the sublease will not survive the termination of this Lease (whether voluntarily
or involuntarily) or resumption of possession of the Premises by Landlord
following a default by Tenant. The sublease shall further provide that if
Landlord elects, the sublease shall further survive a termination of this Lease
or resumption of possession of the Premises by Landlord following a default by
Tenant, the subtenant will, at the election of Landlord, attorn to the Landlord
and continue to perform its obligations under its sublease as if this Lease had
not been terminated and the sublease were a direct lease between the Landlord
and subtenant. The sublease shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Landlord's lawyer. Any permitted assignment of lease shall
contain an assumption by the Assignee of all terms, covenants and conditions of
this Lease to be performed by the Tenant and shall otherwise be in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord's lawyer.
H. BUILDING DIRECTORY ADDITIONS. The listing or posting of any
name, other than that of Tenant, whether on the door or exterior wall of the
Premises, the Building's tenant directory in the lobby or elevator, or elsewhere
shall not (i) constitute a waiver of Landlord's rights to withhold consent of
any sublease or assignment pursuant to this Section 13; (ii) be deemed an
implied consent by Landlord to any sublease of the Premises or any portion
thereof, to any assignment or transfer of the Lease, or to any unauthorized
occupancy of the Premises, except in accordance with the express terms of that
Lease; or (iii) operate to vest any right or interest in the Lease or in the
Premises. Any such listing as described in this subsection shall constitute a
privilege extended by Landlord to Tenant and shall be immediately revokable at
Landlord's will by notice to Tenant.
14. TENANT'S INSURANCE COVERAGE
A. GENERAL. Tenant agrees that, at all times during the Lease
Term (as well as prior and subsequent thereto if Tenant or any of Tenant's
Agents should then use or occupy any portion of the Premises), it will keep in
force, with an insurance company licensed to do business in the State of
Florida, and at least A+IX-rated in the most current edition of Best's Insurance
Reports and acceptable to Landlord, (i) without deductible in excess of
$5,000.00, comprehensive general liability insurance, including coverage for
bodily injury and death, property damage and personal injury and contractual
liability as referred to below, in the amount of not less than the amount set
forth in the BLI Rider, combined single limit per occurrence for injury (or
death) and damages to property, (ii) with deductible of not more than Five
Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00), insurance on an "All Risk or Physical Loss" basis,
including sprinkler leakage, vandalism, malicious mischief, fire and extended
coverage, covering all improvements to the Premises, fixtures, furnishings,
removable floor coverings, equipment, signs and all other decoration or stock in
trade, in the amounts of not less than the full replacement value thereof, and
(iii) workmen's compensation and employer's liability insurance, if required by
statute. Such policies will: (i) include Landlord, Landlord's Lender, and
Landlord's affiliates, or such other parties as Landlord may reasonably
designate as additional insured's, (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 19 for bodily
injury and property damage, and (v) provide that it may not be canceled or
changed without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice from the company
providing such insurance to each party insured thereunder. Tenant will also
maintain throughout the Lease Term worker's compensation insurance with not less
than the maximum statutory limits of coverage.
B. EVIDENCE. The insurance coverages to be provided by Tenant
will be for a period of not less than one year. At least thirty (30) days prior
to the Commencement Date, Tenant will deliver to Landlord original certificates
of all such paid-up insurance; thereafter, at least thirty (30) 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. Any insurance required of Tenant under this Lease may be
furnished by Tenant under an umbrella or blanket policy carried by Tenant. Such
umbrella or blanket policy shall contain an endorsement that names Landlord as
an additional insured, references the Premises, and provides for a minimum limit
available for the Premises equal to the insurance amounts required in the Lease.
15. LANDLORD'S INSURANCE COVERAGE
A. GENERAL. Landlord will at all times during the Lease Term
maintain a policy or policies of insurance insuring the Building against loss or
damage by fire, explosion or other hazards and contingencies typically covered
by insurance for an amount acceptable to the mortgagees encumbering the
Building. Landlord reserves the right, in its reasonable business judgement, to
self insure in lieu of maintaining such policies.
B. TENANT'S ACTS. Tenant will not do or permit anything to be
done upon or bring or keep or permit anything to be brought or kept upon the
Premises which will increase Landlord's rate of insurance on the Building. If by
reason of the failure of Tenant to comply with the terms of this Lease, or by
reason of Tenant's occupancy (even though permitted or contemplated by this
Lease), the
PAGE 14
----------
BLUE LAKE STANDARD LEASE
insurance rate shall at any time be higher than it would otherwise be, Tenant
will reimburse Landlord for that part of all insurance premiums charged because
of such violation or occupancy by Tenant. Tenant agrees to comply with any
reasonable requests or recommendation made by Landlord's insurance underwriter
inspectors.
C. EXCLUSIONS. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord will not carry
insurance on tenant improvements, furniture, furnishings, trade fixtures,
equipment installed in or made to the Premises by or for Tenant, in accordance
with the Work Letter attached hereto, and Tenant agrees that Tenant, and not
Landlord, will be obligated to promptly repair any damage thereto or replace the
same.
16. WAIVER OF RIGHT OF RECOVERY
Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be
liable to the other for any damage to any building, structure or other tangible
property, or any resulting loss of income, or losses under worker's compensation
laws and benefits, even though such loss or damage might have been occasioned by
the negligence of such party, its agents or employees. The provisions of this
Section shall not limit the indemnification for liability to third parties
pursuant to Section 19. As used in this Section 16.A., "damage" refers to any
loss, destruction or other damage.
17. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION BY CASUALTY
A. LANDLORD'S ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO TERMINATE. If by fire or other
casualty the Premises or the Building is damaged or destroyed to the extent of
Twenty Five (25%) Percent or more of the insured value thereof but in the
reasonable estimation of Landlord made within thirty (30) days of the fire or
casualty cannot be restored in less than two hundred ten (210) days from the
date of Landlord's notice, Landlord or Tenant will have the option of
terminating this Lease or any renewal thereof by serving written notice upon the
other within ninety (90) days from the date of the casualty and any prepaid Rent
or Additional Rent will be prorated as of the date of destruction and the
unearned portion of such Rent will be refunded to Tenant without interest. If
neither party elects to terminate, Landlord shall promptly commence to restore
and diligently and continuously complete within such two hundred and ten (210)
days.
B. QUALIFIED RIGHT TO TERMINATE. In addition to the foregoing, if
this Lease is not cancelled and the Landlord undertakes such reconstruction or
repair but does not complete the reconstruction or repair within two hundred ten
(210) days after the date of the fire or other casualty, then the Tenant shall
have the additional right to terminate this Lease by written notice to the
Landlord delivered within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such two
hundred ten (210) day period.
C. OBLIGATION TO RESTORE. If by fire or other casualty either the
Premises or the Building is destroyed or damaged, but only to the extent of less
than Twenty-Five (25%) Percent of the insured value of the Premises or the
Building (as applicable), and more than one (1) year remains in either the
initial Lease Term or Renewal Term, as applicable, then Landlord will restore
the Premises within ninety (90) days of the date of the fire or other casualty
subject to events of force majeure.
D. RENT ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of restoration by Landlord, all
Base Rent and Additional Rent paid in advance shall be apportioned as of the
date of damage or destruction and all such Base Rent and Additional Rent as
above described, thereafter accruing, shall be equitably and proportionally
adjusted according to the nature and extent of the destruction or damage,
pending substantial completion of rebuilding, restoration or repair. In the
event the destruction or damage is so extensive as to make it impossible for
Tenant to conduct Tenant's business in the Premises, Rent and Additional Rent
will be fully abated until the Premises are substantially restored by Landlord
or until Tenant resumes use and occupancy of the Premises, whichever shall first
occur. In lieu of abating Rent and Additional Rent, as provided above, Landlord
shall have the right to temporarily or permanently relocate Tenant to another
space reasonably acceptable to Tenant. Landlord will not be liable for any
damage, whether proximate or consequential, to, or any inconvenience or
interruption of the business of Tenant or Tenant's Agents, occasioned by fire or
other casualty except to the extent caused by the negligence or its willful
misconduct of the Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors.
E. QUALIFICATIONS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's
obligation to restore exists (i) only if and/or to the extent, that the
insurance proceeds received by Landlord are sufficient to compensate Landlord
for its restoration costs and/or (ii) the area unaffected by the casualty may,
as determined by Landlord's reasonable business judgment, be restored as a
profitable, and self functioning unit.
18. CONDEMNATION AND EMINENT DOMAIN
A. ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO TERMINATE. If all or a material part of the
Premises or the Building or the parking spaces is taken for any public or
quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation or by right
of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof, and the taking would prevent
or materially interfere with the use of the Premises for the purpose for which
they are then being used, this Lease will terminate and the Rent will be abated
during the unexpired portion of this Lease effective on the date physical
possession is taken by the condemning authority and any unearned portion of Rent
prepaid will be refunded to Tenant. Tenant will have no claim to the
condemnation award, other
PAGE 15
----------
BLUE LAKE STANDARD LEASE
than as to its Tenant Improvements, trade fixtures, moving expenses, and other
out of pocket damages so long as such does not diminish the Landlord's award.
B. OBLIGATION TO RESTORE. In the event an immaterial part of the
Premises or the Building or the parking spaces is taken for any public or
quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by
right of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof, and this Lease is not
terminated as provided in subsection A above, then Landlord shall, subject to
the remaining provisions of this Section, at Landlord's expense, as soon as
reasonably practicable, restore the portion of the Premises (for which Landlord
receives the condemnation award pursuant hereto) and the Building to the extent
necessary to make them reasonably tenantable. The Rent payable under this Lease
during the unexpired portion of the Lease Term shall be adjusted to such an
extent as may be fair and reasonable under the circumstances. Tenant shall have
no claim to the condemnation award with respect to the leasehold estate but, in
a separate proceeding, may make a separate claim for trade fixtures and tenant
improvements installed in the Premises by and at the expense of Tenant and
Tenant's moving expense. In no event will Tenant have any claim for the value of
the unexpired Lease Term.
C. QUALIFICATIONS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's
obligation to restore exists (i) only if and/or to the extent, that the
condemnation or similar award received by Landlord is sufficient to compensate
Landlord for its loss and its restoration costs and/or (ii) the area unaffected
by the condemnation or similar proceeding may, as determined by Landlord's
reasonable business judgment, be restored as a profitable, and self functioning
unit.
19. LIMITATION OF LANDLORD'S LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION
A. PERSONAL PROPERTY. All personal property placed or moved into
the Building will be at the sole risk of Tenant or other owner. Landlord will
not be liable to Tenant or others for any damage to person or property arising
from theft, vandalism, air-conditioning malfunction, the bursting or leaking of
water pipes, any act or omission of any cotenant or occupant of the Building or
of any other person, or otherwise, except to the extent caused by the negligence
or willful misconduct of the Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors.
B. LIMITATIONS. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this
Lease: (i) Tenant will look solely (to the extent insurance coverage is not
applicable or available) to the interest of Landlord (or its successor as
Landlord hereunder) in the Building (including proceeds of sale, insurance and
condemnation) for the satisfaction of any judgment or other judicial process
requiring the payment of money as a result of any negligence or breach of this
Lease by Landlord or its successor or of Landlord's managing agent (including
any beneficial owners, partners, corporations and/or others affiliated or in any
way related to Landlord or such successor or managing agent) and Landlord has no
personal liability hereunder of any kind.
C. INDEMNITY. Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Landlord and its agents from and against all claims, causes of actions,
liabilities, judgments, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, including appellate proceedings and
bankruptcy proceedings, incurred or suffered by Landlord and arising from or in
any way connected with the Premises or the use thereof or any acts, omissions,
neglect or fault of Tenant or any of Tenant's Agents, including, but not limited
to, any breach of this Lease or any death, personal injury or property damage
occurring in or about the Premises or the Building or arising from Environmental
Concerns, as hereafter defined, except to the extent caused by the Landlord, its
agents, employees, or contractors. Tenant will reimburse Landlord upon request
for all costs incurred by Landlord in the interpretation and enforcement of any
provisions of this Lease and/or the collection of any sums due to Landlord under
this Lease, including collection of agency fees, and reasonable attorneys' fees
and costs, regardless of whether litigation is commenced, and through all
appellate actions and proceedings, including bankruptcy proceedings, if
litigation is commenced. The foregoing claims, causes of actions, liabilities,
judgments, damages, losses, costs and expenses shall include but not be limited
to any of same arising from Tenant's failure to comply with any of the
requirements of Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") or Florida Accessibility
Code ("FAC") within the Premises and/or any and all claims or liability arising
from the performance of the repair, renovation, and/or maintenance described
above. This indemnity shall include, but not be limited to, claims or
liabilities asserted against Landlord based upon negligence, strict liability or
other liability by operation of law to any third party or government entity, and
all costs, attorney's fees, expenses, and liabilities incurred by Landlord in
the defense of any such claim. Landlord shall defend any such claim at Tenant's
expense by counsel selected by Landlord. Tenant shall not alter, cut, drill,
penetrate, remove or damage any portion of the Premises in which Landlord has
identified to Tenant the presence or suspected presence of asbestos, without
Landlord's prior written consent. Tenant indemnifies Landlord from and against
any and all damages, liabilities, fines, costs and expenses, including without
limitation reasonable attorneys fees and costs, from Tenant's violation or
breach of this covenant.
20. RELOCATION OF TENANT
A. GENERAL. Recognizing that the Building is large and the needs
of tenants as to space may vary from time to time, and in order for Landlord to
accommodate Tenant and prospective tenants,
PAGE 16
----------
BLUE LAKE STANDARD LEASE
Landlord expressly reserves the right, prior to and/or during the Lease Term, at
Landlord's sole expense, to move Tenant from the Premises and relocate Tenant in
other comparable space of Landlord's choosing of approximately the same
dimensions and at least the same size within the Building (or additions to the
Building or new construction related to the Building or the campus in which
Building is located), which other space will be decorated by Landlord at its
expense. Landlord shall, in exercising its right to relocate the Tenant, make
said decision in full consideration and deference to the nature of Tenant's
business which business operates (including Tenant's on-line computer network)
on a twenty-four (24) hour basis, seven (7) days per week. Landlord may use
decorations and materials from the existing Premises, or other materials, so
that the space in which Tenant is relocated will be comparable in its interior
design and decoration to the space from which Tenant is removed.
B. NO INTERFERENCE. During the relocation period Landlord will
use reasonable efforts not to unduly interfere with Tenant's business activities
(recognizing that such business operations may only be shut down for a de
minimus period of time during the relocation, and will not limit Tenant's access
to the Premises prior to such relocation. Landlord agrees to substantially
complete the relocation within a reasonable time under all then existing
circumstances.
C. PREMISES. This Lease and each of its terms and conditions will
remain in full force and effect and be applicable to any such new space and such
new space will be deemed to be the Premises demised hereunder; upon request
Tenant will execute such documents which may be requested to evidence,
acknowledge and confirm the relocation (but it will be effective even in the
absence of such confirmation).
D. COSTS. Landlord's obligation for expenses of removal and
relocation will be the actual cost of relocating and decorating Tenant's new
space, moving expenses, telephone and computer relocation and all other
reasonable costs arising directly from such relocation, and Tenant agrees that
Landlord's exercise of its election to remove and relocate Tenant will not
release Tenant in whole or in part from its obligations hereunder for the full
Lease Term. No rights granted in this Lease to Tenant, including the right of
peaceful possession and quiet enjoyment, will be deemed breached or interfered
with by reason of Landlord's exercise of the relocation right reserved herein.
E. NOTICE. If Landlord exercises its relocation right under this
paragraph, Tenant will be given ninety (90) days prior notice in writing.
21. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND PROCEDURES
A. COMPLIANCE. Except as otherwise provided herein, Tenant, at
its sole cost, will promptly comply with all applicable laws, guidelines, rules,
regulations and requirements, whether of federal, state, or local origin,
applicable to the Premises, including, but not limited to, the Americans with
Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. ss. 12101 et seq, the FAC (as to the interior of the
Premises), and those for the correction, prevention and abatement of nuisance,
unsafe conditions, or other grievances arising from or pertaining to the use or
occupancy of the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that (i) the Premises and the
parking facilities may contain potentially hazardous substances, including, but
not limited to, asbestos containing materials, radon gas, mineral fibers, and
other like materials (all of such materials are referred to herein as
"Environmental Concerns") and (ii) Tenant has been advised that the Premises and
the Building do contain either encapsulated or non-friable asbestos containing
materials. Accordingly, Tenant agrees that Tenant and Tenant's Agents shall
comply with all operation and maintenance programs and guidelines implemented or
promulgated from time to time by Landlord or its consultants, including, but not
limited to, those matters set forth in subsections B and C below, in order to
reduce the risk to Tenant, Tenant's Agents or any other tenants of the Building
of injury from Environmental Concerns. Except as otherwise provided herein,
Tenant at its sole cost and expense shall be solely responsible for taking any
and all measures which are required to substantially comply with the
requirements of the ADA and the FAC within the Premises. Landlord shall be
responsible for causing compliance of the Building, other than the Premises,
with the requirements of the ADA and the FAC, the cost of such compliance being
an Operating Expense hereunder. Any Alterations to the Premises made by or on
behalf of Tenant for the purpose of complying with the ADA and FAC or which
otherwise require compliance with the ADA and FAC shall be done in accordance
with this Lease; provided, that Landlord's consent to such Alterations shall not
constitute either Landlord's assumption, in whole or in part, of Tenant's
responsibility for substantial compliance with the ADA and FAC, or
representation or confirmation by Landlord that such Alterations comply with the
provisions of the ADA and FAC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall be
solely responsible at its sole cost and expense, for making any changes or
improvements which are required pursuant to the terms of this Lease, to the
condition of the Premises delivered by Landlord to Tenant.
B. NOTICE PRIOR TO WORK. Except as provided in Section 11, Tenant
shall provide thirty (30) days notice to Landlord prior to the performance by
Tenant, Tenant's Agents or contractors of any repairs, renovation and/or major
structural or mechanical systems maintenance, to the Premises. Such notice shall
include a detailed description of the work contemplated. Tenant shall not
perform, or cause to be performed, any such repair, renovation and/or
maintenance without the written consent of Landlord, and, if such consent is
granted, the repair, renovation and/or maintenance must be performed in
accordance with the terms of Landlord's consent.

BLUE LAKE STANDARD LEASE
22. RIGHT OF ENTRY
Landlord and its agents will have the right to enter the Premises
during all reasonable hours to make necessary repairs to the Premises upon
reasonable prior notice. In the event of an emergency, Landlord or its agents
may enter the Premises at any time, without notice (except that Landlord shall
make a good faith effort to contact Tenant's designated representative by
telephone prior to such entry), to appraise and correct the emergency condition.
Said right of entry will, after reasonable prior notice, likewise exist for the
purpose of removing placards, signs, fixtures, alterations, or additions which
do not conform to this Lease. Landlord or its agents will have the right to
exhibit the Premises at any time to prospective tenants within one hundred and
eighty days (180) before the Expiration Date of the Lease.
23. DEFAULT
A. EVENTS OF DEFAULT BY TENANT. The following shall, upon the
giving of notice to Tenant of the nature of the default and the expiration of
any applicable grace period afforded Tenant hereunder as set forth in Section
23.B. constitute an Event of Default under this Lease. If (1) Tenant fails to
make any payment of Rent when due (a "Monetary Default"); or (2) Tenant fails to
fulfill any of the terms or conditions, covenants, agreements or any rules and
regulations attached to this Lease, as Exhibit "C" or promulgated by Landlord
under this Lease which shall in all instances be reasonable and have as close to
equal application to all tenants of the Building as is practicable (a
"Non-Monetary Default"); or (3) the appointment of a trustee or a receiver to
take possession of all or substantially all of Tenant's assets occurs, and such
appointment is not dismissed within thirty (30) days after appointment, or if
the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of all or substantially all
of Tenant's assets located at the Premises, or of Tenant's interest in this
Lease, occurs; or (4) Tenant or any of its successors or assigns or any
guarantor of this Lease ("Guarantor"), if any, should file any voluntary
petition in bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement, or an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or for similar relief under any present or future statute,
law or regulation relating to relief of debtors; or (5) Tenant or any of its
successors or assigns or any Guarantor should be adjudicated bankrupt or have an
involuntary petition in bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement filed against
it and such proceeding is not dismissed within thirty (30) days of filing; or
(6) Tenant, before the expiration of the Lease Term and without the prior
written consent of Landlord, vacates the Premises or abandons possession of the
Premises, and fails to pay Rent on a timely basis; or (7) Tenant shall permit,
allow or suffer to exist any lien by or through Tenant, judgment, writ,
assessment, charge, attachment or execution upon Landlord's or Tenant's interest
in this Lease or to the Premises, and/or the fixtures, improvements and
furnishings located thereon, whether claimant or holder thereof has acquired its
right by or through Tenant, unless such lien, judgment, writ, assessment,
charge, attachment or execution is discharged of record or transferred from the
Property by bond within ten (10) days following notice to Tenant.
X. XXXXX PERIOD. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease
to the contrary, Tenant shall have (i) a period of three (3) calendar days after
written notice from Landlord of a Monetary Default with respect to payment of
Base Rent or Overhead Rent; (ii) a period of ten (10) days after notice from
Landlord of a Monetary Default , other than as to payment of Base Rent or
Overhead Rent; and (iii) a period of twenty (20) days after notice from Landlord
of a Non-Monetary Default in which to cure the Event of Default. In addition,
provided that the Event of Default does not involve an emergency that must be
addressed in a shorter time frame, the grace period for Non-Monetary Defaults
shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary to complete such cure
if the Event of Default is of a nature that it cannot be completely cured within
the twenty (20) day period solely as a result of nonfinancial circumstances
outside of Tenant's control, provided that Tenant has promptly commenced all
appropriate actions to cure the default after notice and those actions are
thereafter diligently and continuously pursued by Tenant in good faith. However,
if the Non-Monetary Default is not cured prior to a maximum of ninety (90) days
from the date of the notice of the Non-Monetary Default, then Landlord may
pursue all of its remedies. The notice of a Non-Monetary Default to be given
under this subsection may be combined with the notice required under Section
83.20(3), Florida Statutes or any successor statute and this Lease shall not be
construed to require Landlord to give two separate notices to Tenant before
proceeding with any remedies.
C. REPEATED LATE PAYMENT. Regardless of the number of times of
Landlord's prior acceptance of late payments and/or late charges, (i) if
Landlord notifies Tenant four (4) times in any 12-month period that Rent has not
been paid when due, then any other late payment within such 12-month period
shall automatically constitute an event of default hereunder and (ii) the mere
acceptance by Landlord of late payments of Rent in the past shall not,
regardless of any applicable laws to the contrary, thereafter be deemed to waive
Landlord's right to strictly enforce this Lease, including Tenant's obligation
to make payment of Rent on the exact day same is due, against Tenant.
24. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES FOR TENANT'S DEFAULT
A. LANDLORD'S OPTIONS. Upon an Event of Default by Tenant under
this Lease, Landlord may, at its option exercise any of the remedies enumerated
below, in addition to such other remedies as may be available under Florida law:
(1) terminate this Lease and Tenant's right of possession
by notice to Tenant; or
PAGE 18
----------
BLUE LAKE STANDARD LEASE
(2) terminate Tenant's right to possession but not the
Lease and/or proceed in accordance with any and all provisions of paragraph B
below.
B. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES. If there is an Event of Default by Tenant
under this Lease (subject to applicable notice and cure periods), in addition to
all other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord may:
(1) Terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant and retake
possession of the Premises;
(a) Terminate Tenant's right of possession by
notice to Tenant without terminating this Lease and retaking possession of the
Premises and relet the Premises or any part of the Premises in the name of
Landlord, or otherwise, as Tenant's agent, for a term shorter or longer than the
balance of the Lease Term, and may grant concessions or free rent to the new
tenant, thereby terminating Tenant's tenancy in the Premises and right to
possess the Premises, without terminating Tenant's obligations to pay (a) the
entire balance of all forms of Base Rent and Additional Rent for the remainder
of the Lease Term, plus (b) the Reletting Expenses, and (c) the unamortized
balance of any brokerage commissions paid by Landlord in connection with this
Lease, any allowances granted to Tenant under this Lease, and the cost of any
Tenant Improvements made by Landlord. Landlord shall have no obligation to relet
the Premises, and its failure to do so, or failure to collect rent on reletting,
shall not affect Tenant's liability under this Lease. Landlord shall not, in any
event, be required to pay Tenant any surplus of any sums received by Landlord on
a reletting of the Premises in excess of the rent provided in this Lease. If
Landlord decides to relet the Premises or a duty to relet is imposed by law,
Landlord shall only be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to relet
the Premises. Commercially reasonable efforts shall not require Landlord to: (i)
use any greater efforts than Landlord then uses to lease other properties
Landlord or its affiliates owns or manages; (ii) relet the Premises in
preference to any other space in the Building; (iii) relet the Premises to any
party that Landlord could reasonably reject as a transferee under the Assignment
or Subletting section of this Lease; (iv) accept rent in an amount which is less
than the fair market rental for the Premises; (v) perform any tenant
improvements, grant any tenant improvement allowances, grant any "free rent," or
otherwise pay any sums or grant any monetary concessions in order to obtain a
new tenant; (vi) observe any instruction given by Tenant about the reletting
process or accept any tenant offered by Tenant unless the offered tenant leases
the entire Premises and the criteria of this subsection are otherwise fully met.
Any entry or reentry by Landlord, whether had or taken under summary proceedings
or otherwise, shall not absolve or discharge Tenant from liability under this
Lease so long as Landlord's actions are not in violation of applicable laws.
"Reenter" and "re-entry" as used in this Lease are not restricted to their
technical legal meaning. No reentry or taking possession of the Premises by
Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlord's part to accept a
surrender of the Premises unless a notice of such intention is given to Tenant;
(2) Stand by and do nothing, and hold Tenant liable
for all Base Rent and additional rent payable under this Lease through the
remainder of the Lease Term;
(3) Institute any action as provided by law;
(4) Obtain injunctive and declaratory relief,
temporary or permanent, or both, against Tenant or any acts, conduct or
omissions of Tenant, and further to obtain specific performance of any term,
covenant, or condition of this Lease;
(5) After regaining possession of the Premises,
remove all or any part of Tenant's Property from the Premises and any property
removed may be stored at the cost of, and for the account of, Tenant, and
Landlord shall not be responsible for the care or safekeeping of Tenant's
Property whether in transport, storage, or otherwise, and Tenant waives any and
all claims against Landlord for loss, destruction, damage or injury that may be
occasioned by any acts taken by Landlord under this subsection. Landlord may
retain possession of Tenant's Property until all storage charges and all other
amounts owed by Tenant to Landlord under this Section 23 have been paid in full.
Nothing set forth in this subsection shall limit Landlord's rights to enforce
any lien or security interest in favor of Landlord against Tenant's Property or
Landlord's rights under the End of Term section of this Lease; and
(6) If all or any part of the Premises is then
assigned, sublet, transferred, or occupied by someone other than Tenant,
Landlord, at its option, may collect directly from the assignee, subtenant,
transferee, or occupant all rent becoming due to Tenant by reason of the
assignment, sublease, transfer, or occupancy. Any collection directly by
Landlord from the assignee, subtenant, transferee, or occupant shall not be
construed to constitute a novation or a release of Tenant from the further
performance of its obligations under this Lease.
C. ACCELERATION. If Landlord exercises the remedies provided in
Subsections (2), (3) or (4) above, Landlord may declare the entire balance of
all forms of Rent due under this Lease for the remainder of the Lease Term to be
forthwith due and payable and may collect the then present value of the rents
(calculated using a discount rate equal to the yield then obtainable from the
United States Treasury Xxxx or Note with a maturity date closest to the date of
expiration of the Lease Term) by distress or otherwise, provided, however that
Landlord shall
PAGE 19
----------
BLUE LAKE STANDARD LEASE
utilize commercially reasonable attempts to mitigate its damages. The
accelerated additional rent for expenses shall be calculated by multiplying the
highest additional rent amount for Expenses payable by Tenant in any calendar
year times the number of calendar years (including any fractional calendar year)
remaining in the Lease Term following the date of default. If Landlord exercises
the remedy provided in Subsection (2) above and collects from Tenant all forms
of rent owed for the remainder of the Lease Term, Landlord shall account to
Tenant, at the date of the expiration of the Lease Term for amounts actually
collected by Landlord as a result of reletting, net of the Tenant's obligations
under Subsections 24 B. 2(a)-(c).
D. GUARANTY. In addition to the remedies of the Landlord
contained in this Section 24, a separate action or actions may, at Landlord's
option, be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor, if any, whether or not
any action is first or subsequently brought against Tenant or whether or not
Tenant is joined in any such action. The Landlord may, at its sole option,
proceed against the Tenant without first seeking recourse against the Guarantor
and may pursue any other remedy in Landlord's power whatsoever and the Tenant
waives any right to complain of delay in enforcement of Landlord's rights under
this Lease.
E. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary
contained in this Lease, any and all rights and remedies of Landlord and Tenant
set for forth in this Lease shall be exercisable only to the extent permitted by
Florida law at the time of exercise. Any waivers by Tenant of damages or
liability shall be applicable only to the extent Landlord's actions are in
material accordance with applicable law and only to the extent that Landlord or
its agents, employees or contractors are not negligent or willfully at fault.
F. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default of this Lease
unless and until Landlord fails to cure any default within thirty (30) days
after written notice from Tenant; provided, however, that if such default
reasonably requires more than thirty (30) days to cure, Landlord shall have a
reasonable time to cure such default, provided Landlord commences to cure within
such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to
completion. In the event of an uncured default by Landlord, Tenant shall have
the right to exercise any available legal and equitable remedies.
25. LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO PERFORM FOR TENANT'S ACCOUNT.
Should Tenant fail to observe or perform any term or condition of
this Lease within a provided grace period following notice, Landlord may at any
time thereafter, perform the same for the account of Tenant in a commercially
reasonable manner. If Landlord makes any expenditure or incurs any obligation
for the payment of money in connection with such performance for Tenant's
account (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs in instituting,
prosecuting and/or defending any action or proceeding through appeal), the sums
paid or obligations incurred, with interest at Twelve Percent (12%) per annum,
will be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after rendition of a
xxxx or statement to Tenant. In the event Tenant, in the performance or
non-performance of any term or condition of this Lease, should cause an
emergency situation to occur or arise within the Premises or in the Building,
Landlord will have all rights set forth in this paragraph immediately without
the necessity of providing Tenant any advance notice.
26. LIENS
A. GENERAL. 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 Premises, or in the
underlying land or Building of which the 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 shall have no power or
authority to create any lien or permit any lien to attach to the present estate,
reversion, or other estate of Landlord in the Premises or in the Building, and
all mechanics, materialmen, contractors, artisans and other parties contracting
with Tenant or its representatives or privies as to the Premises or any part of
the Premises are hereby charged with notice that they must look to the Tenant to
secure payment of any xxxx for work done or material furnished or for any other
purpose during this Lease term. The foregoing provisions are made with express
reference to Section 713.10 of the Florida Statutes. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions, Tenant, at its expense, shall cause any liens filed
against the Premises or the Building for work or materials claimed to have been
furnished to Tenant to be discharged of record or properly transferred to a bond
under Section 713.24 of the Florida Statutes within ten (10) days after notice
to Tenant. Landlord has recorded a notice of the foregoing in the Public Records
of Palm Beach County, Florida, pursuant to the provisions of Section 713.10
Florida Statutes.
B. DEFAULT. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any construction
lien or other lien, attachment, judgment, execution, writ, charge or encumbrance
is filed against the Building or the 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 or any of Tenant's
Agents, Tenant will discharge same of record within ten (10) days after the
filing thereof and written notice from either Landlord or the lienor, failing
which Tenant will be in default under this Lease. Further, Tenant agrees to
indemnify, defend and save Landlord harmless from and against any damage or
loss, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Landlord as a result of
any liens or other claims arising out of or related to work performed in the
Premises by or on behalf of Tenant. In such event, without waiving
PAGE 20
----------
BLUE LAKE STANDARD LEASE
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 plus
interest thereon at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum.
27. NOTICES
Notices to Tenant under this Lease will be in writing (unless
otherwise specifically provided herein) addressed to Tenant and mailed or
delivered to the address set forth for Tenant in the BLI Rider. Notices to
Landlord under this Lease (as well as the required copies thereof) will be in
writing and addressed to Landlord (and its agents) and mailed or delivered to
the address set forth in the BLI Rider. Notices will be personally delivered or
given by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested. As used herein,

notices given by mail will be deemed to have been given forty-eight (48) hours
after the time said properly addressed notice is placed in the mail. Each party
may change its address from time to time by written notice given to the other as
specified above.
28. MORTGAGE ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE; SUBORDINATION
Landlord has the unrestricted right to convey, mortgage and
refinance the Building, or any part thereof. Tenant and Landlord agree, within
ten (10) days after notice but not more than twice in any calendar year, to
execute and deliver to the other or its mortgagee or designee such instruments
as the other or its mortgagee may reasonably require, certifying (i) whether
this Lease is in full force and effect (or if there shall have been any
modification, that the Lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating
the modification, (ii) the amount of any prepaid rent paid under this Lease,
(iii) the dates to which the rents and other charges have been paid, (iv)
whether or not Tenant claims any defenses or offsets concerning its obligations
under this Lease and whether or not the other is in default in the performance
of any covenant, agreement, or condition contained in this Lease on its part to
be performed, and if so, specify each defense, offset or default of which the
party may have knowledge, and (v) such other matters as may be reasonably
required by institutional lenders or purchasers in similar estoppel
certificates. Nothing contained in this Section shall constitute a waiver by
Landlord of any default in payment of rent or other charges existing as of the
date of any notices or certificates under this Section. Subject to the
provisions hereof, this Lease is and at all times will be subject and
subordinate to all present and future mortgages or ground leases which may
affect the Building and/or the parking lot, and to all recastings, renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements, and extensions of any such
mortgage(s), and to all increases and voluntary and involuntary advances made
thereunder. The foregoing will be self-operative and no further instrument of
subordination will be required. However, in confirmation of this subordination,
Tenant shall execute promptly any certificate that Landlord may request provided
that, without limiting Landlord's right of specific performance and right to
injunctive relief, the Tenant's failure to do so shall constitute an Event of
Default under the Lease. In the event that the holder ("Lender") of any
encumbrance ("Mortgage") on the Building or any other person acquires title to
the Building pursuant to the exercise of any remedy provided for in the Mortgage
or by reason of the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure (the Lender, any
other such person and their participants, successors and assigns being referred
to herein as the "Purchaser"), Tenant covenants and agrees to attorn to and
recognize and be bound to Purchaser as its new Landlord, and except as provided
below, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct Lease
between Tenant and Purchaser, except that, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein or in the Lease. It is an express condition of the subordination
of this Lease set forth herein, that so long as Tenant is not in material
default under any provision of this Lease beyond any applicable notice or cure
period, and no event has occurred that has continued to exist for a period of
time (after notice, if any, required by this Lease) as would entitle Landlord to
terminate this Lease or would cause without further action by Landlord, the
termination of this Lease or would entitle Landlord to dispossess the Tenant
thereunder:
A. The right of possession of Tenant to the Premises and Tenant's
rights hereunder shall not be terminated or disturbed by any steps or
proceedings taken by Lender or anyone claiming by or through Lender in the
exercise of any of its rights under the Mortgage or the indebtedness secured
thereby;
B. This Lease shall not be terminated or affected and Tenant's
possession, use, and enjoyment of the Premises shall not be disturbed by said
exercise of any remedy provided for in the Mortgage, and any sale by Lender of
the Building pursuant to the exercise of any rights and remedies under the
Mortgage or otherwise, shall be made subject to this Lease and the rights of
Tenant hereunder.
C. In no event shall Lender or any other Purchaser be:
(1) liable for any act or omission of Landlord or any
prior landlord (except to the extent such continue without cure after
acquisition of the Building by the Lender and such may be cured by Lender with
its reasonable efforts;
(2) subject to any offsets or defenses that the Tenant
might have against Landlord or any prior landlord;
PAGE 21
----------
BLUE LAKE STANDARD LEASE
(3) bound by any payment or rent or additional rent that
Tenant might have paid to Landlord or any prior landlord for more than the
current month unless the same is delivered to the Lender or the Purchaser; or
(4) bound by any material amendment or modifications of
the Lease made without Lender's or such other Purchaser's prior written consent,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
D. Provided that Landlord has previously notified Tenant of
Lender's address for notice, Tenant agrees to give written notice to Lender as
soon as reasonably practicable of any default by Landlord that would entitle
Tenant to cancel this Lease, and agrees that notwithstanding any provision of
this Lease, no notice of cancellation thereof given on behalf of Tenant shall be
effective unless Lender has received said notice and has failed within 30 days
of the date of receipt thereof to cure Landlord's default, or if the default
cannot be cured within 30 days, has failed to promptly commence and to
diligently pursue the cure of Landlord's default which gave rise to such right
of cancellation. Tenant further agrees to give such notices to any successor of
Lender, provided that such successor shall have given written notice of Tenant
of its acquisition of Lender's interest in the Mortgage and designated the
address to which such notices are to be sent.
E. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may execute and deliver to
Lender an Assignment of Leases and Rents conveying the rentals under this Lease
as additional security for the loan secured by the Mortgage, and Tenant hereby
expressly consents to such Assignment.
F. Within ten (10) days after the execution of this Lease, and as
a condition to the effectiveness of this Lease, Landlord shall obtain, for the
benefit of Tenant, a Subordination, Non-disturbance and Attornment Agreement
from each and every Lender as of the date of this Lease, such Subordination,
Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement to be in form substantially similar to
that attached hereto as Exhibit "J". Landlord represents and warrants to Tenants
that, as of the date of this Lease, it is the fee simple owner of the Building,
and that, as of the date hereof, there are no (i) ground leases of all or any
part of Landlord's interest in the Building, or (ii) mortgages with respect to
the Building, other than with Lenders providing such Subordination,
Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreements to Tenant.
G. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Lease, after the date of this Lease, any subordination of this Lease to a
mortgage or any ground lease shall be conditioned on Tenant obtaining a
Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement from the applicable
Lender and ground lessor, such Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment
Agreement in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit
"J".
29. ATTORNMENT AND MORTGAGEE'S REQUEST
A. ATTORNMENT. Subject to the provisions of Section 28, if any
mortgagee of the Building comes into possession or ownership of the Premises, or
acquires Landlord's interest by foreclosure of the mortgage or otherwise, upon
the mortgagee's request Tenant will attorn to the mortgagee.
30. TRANSFER BY LANDLORD
If Landlord's interest in the Building terminates by reason of a
bona fide sale or other transfer, Landlord will, upon assumption by the new
owner of the Landlord's obligations hereunder from and after the date of
transfer, thereupon be released from all further liability to Tenant under this
Lease. At the expiration or termination of the Lease Term, Tenant shall deliver
to Landlord all keys to the Premises and make known to Landlord the location and
combination of all safes, locks and similar items.
31. SURRENDER OF PREMISES; HOLDING OVER
A. SURRENDER. Tenant agrees to surrender the Premises to Landlord
on the Expiration Date (or sooner termination of the Lease Term pursuant to
other applicable provisions hereof) in as good condition as they were at the
commencement of Tenant's occupancy, ordinary wear and tear, and damage by fire
and windstorm excepted.
B. RESTORATION. In all events, Tenant will promptly restore all
damage caused in connection with any removal of Tenant's personal property.
Tenant will pay to Landlord, upon request, all damages that Landlord may suffer
on account of Tenant's failure to surrender possession as and when aforesaid and
will indemnify Landlord against all liabilities, costs and expenses (including
all reasonable attorneys' fees and costs if any) arising out of Tenant's delay
in so delivering possession, including claims of any succeeding tenant.
C. REMOVAL. Upon expiration of the Lease Term, at Landlord's
option, Tenant may not be required to remove from the Premises, Building
Standard Items (as defined in the Work Letter), all of such Building Standard
Items are the property of Landlord or tenant improvements installed prior to the
Rent Commencement Date unless Landlord shall require such removal during the
review and approval of the plans and specifications as provided in the Work
Letter.
D. HOLDOVER. In the event of a holding-over by Tenant, after the
expiration of the Lease or the early termination of the Lease without the
written consent of Landlord, Tenant shall, in
PAGE 22
---------
BLUE LAKE STANDARD LEASE
addition to being responsible for any liquidated damages provided by Florida
statute, also indemnify Landlord against all claims for damages by any other
tenant to whom Landlord may have leased all or any part of the Premises covered
hereby effective after the termination of this Lease so long as Landlord has
previously provided Tenant notice of such lease. No payments of money by Tenant
after the expiration of the Lease Term of the earlier termination of this Lease
will reinstate, continue or extend the Term; reduce the liability of Tenant to
Landlord for damages; or affect any termination notice given by Landlord to
Tenant. No extension of the Lease Term will be valid unless and until the same
will be reduced to writing and signed by both Landlord and Tenant.
E. NO SURRENDER. No offer of surrender of the Premises, by
delivery to Landlord or its agent of keys to the Premises or otherwise, will be
binding on Landlord unless accepted by Landlord, in writing, specifying the
effective surrender of the Premises. At the expiration or termination of the
Lease Term, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord all keys to the Premises and make
known to Landlord the location and combinations of all locks, safes and similar
items.
32. NO WAIVER, CUMULATIVE REMEDIES
A. NO WAIVER. No waiver of any provision of this Lease by either
party will be deemed to imply or constitute a further waiver by such party of
the same or any other provision hereof. The rights and remedies of Landlord and
Tenant under this Lease or otherwise are cumulative and are not intended to be
exclusive and the use of one will not be taken to exclude or waive the use of
another, and Landlord and Tenant will be entitled to pursue all rights and
remedies available under the laws of the State of Florida.
B. RENT PAYMENTS. No receipt of money by Landlord from Tenant at
any time, or any act, or thing done by, Landlord or its agent shall be deemed a
release of Tenant from any liability whatsoever to pay Rent, Additional Rent, or
any other sums due hereunder, unless such release is in writing, subscribed by a
duly authorized officer or agent of Landlord and refers expressly to this
Section. Any payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of less than the entire
amount due at such time shall be deemed to be on account of the earliest sum
due. No endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any
check or payment shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction. In the case of such
a partial payment or endorsement, Landlord may accept such payment, check or
letter without prejudice to its right to collect all remaining sums due and
pursue all of its remedies under the Lease.

pay the cost of such audit. Tenant will reasonably cooperate with Landlord, at

entering into this Lease; (ii) any assumption of this Lease by a proposed
assignee shall not adversely affect Landlord's relationship with any of the
remaining tenants in the Building taking into consideration any and all other
"use" clauses and/or "exclusivity" clauses which may then exist under their

company as a result of the use of the Premises whether or not the same is a
Permitted Use under this Lease.

reasonable discretion, require the Tenant to have delivered a bond by a surety
acceptable to Landlord to guaranty any financial undertakings of any
indemnification in connection with a special event.
43. MISCELLANEOUS

Event of Default by Tenant under such lease beyond applicable notice and cure
periods will constitute a default hereunder.

thereof to any person or circumstance is, to any extent, invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term or
condition to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held

condition of this Lease is to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by law. This Lease will be construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Florida.

indemnify the other party against all resulting liabilities, costs, expenses,
claims, demands and causes of action, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs through all appellate actions and proceedings, if any. The foregoing will
survive the end of the Lease Term.

being expressly understood and agreed that neither the method of computation of
Rent nor any other provisions contained in this Lease nor any act of the parties
hereto shall be deemed to create any relationship between Landlord and Tenant
other than the relationship of landlord and tenant.
J. Whenever in this Lease the context allows, the word

reduce or alter the obligations to be performed by Landlord as set forth in this
Lease.
N. It is acknowledged that each of the parties hereto has been
fully represented by legal counsel and that each of such legal counsel has
contributed substantially to the content of this Lease. Accordingly, this Lease

provisions hereof.
O. If more than one person or entity is named herein as Tenant,
their liability hereunder will be joint and several. In case Tenant is a

general or managing partners in said partnership have executed this Lease on
behalf of Tenant, or that this Lease has been executed and delivered pursuant to

partner in Tenant, to the extent that Tenant is a partnership, shall be and

liability of such partner under the terms of this Lease unless and until
Landlord shall have consented in writing to such release.
P. Landlord has made no inquiries about and makes no
representations (express or implied) concerning whether Tenant's proposed use of
the Premises is permitted under applicable law, including applicable zoning law;
should Tenant's proposed use be prohibited, Tenant shall be obligated to comply
with applicable law and this Lease shall nevertheless remain in full force and
effect. Landlord covenants that the Building is zoned to permit corporate
headquarters office use as contemplated in the BLI Rider.
Q. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if

events. Events beyond either party's control include, but are not limited to,
hurricanes and floods and other acts of God, war, civil commotion, labor
disputes, strikes, fire, flood or other casualty, shortages of labor or
material, government regulation or restriction and weather conditions. Nothing

other than those in this Lease. This Lease supersedes and revokes all previous
negotiations, arrangements, letters of intent, offers to lease, lease proposals,
brochures, Representations and information conveyed whether oral or in writing,

documentation in support of Incentive Program. In any instance in which an
Incentive Program is applied for and secured, Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns

of Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver such assignment(s), confirmations
with supporting documentation as may from time-to-time be required by Landlord

with hazardous or toxic materials or with petroleum products.
c. EMERGENCY SERVICE USE. The Generators are only intended for
limited emergency backup use and are not designed for, nor does the Generators'
fuel storage tank have sufficient capacity for, more than temporary, limited use
of the Generators.
d. STARTUP DELAY. In the event of a power failure ("Outage"), the
Generators are designed to start up over [A PERIOD OF ONE TO THIRTY MINUTES].
The Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Landlord shall not be liable or
responsible for any resulting direct, indirect, consequential, or special
damages that may occur due to an interruption of Tenant's business or business
operations, or to Tenant's Equipment, or to Served Systems or any of the
Premises due to any delay in the startup of the Generators. Tenant shall be
responsible to provide for its own backup uniform power supply ("UPS") to its
Premises and the Served Systems to address any startup delay of the Generators.

event of an Outage or other emergency and shall be required to be available to
Landlord in the event of an emergency or an Outage. Tenant shall provide to

Representatives, including but not limited to home addresses and telephone
numbers, cellular telephone numbers and pager numbers. Notices to Tenant under

together with their contact information as provided above. The Emergency
Representative(s) shall participate in emergency drills and, in the event of an
emergency or an Outage, shall be available to meet with Landlord and the
emergency representatives of other tenants to address emergency procedures
implemented by Landlord as a result thereof.
e. GENERATOR OPERATION DURING EXTENDED OUTAGE. For the purposes
hereof, any Outage lasting more than one hour shall be referred to as an
"Extended Outage". Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, at the contemplated
total capacity of the Generators, the Generators' fuel storage capacity for the
Blue Lake Corporate Center is not sufficient for continuous or extended use of
the Generators at the capacity of the Power Program (as may be increased as
Generator capacity is increased from time to time) for all potential Subscribing
Tenants. In the event of an Extended Outage or a series of Outages, Landlord
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to regulate, reduce, and limit the
availability of Standby Power to Subscribing Tenants, including but not limited
to Tenant in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, to essential needs in
order to meet the Federal Emergency Management Agency's ("FEMA") [seven (7)] day
generator recommendations, the safety of tenants of the Center, the availability
of fuel, or the operating conditions and requirements of the Generators.
In order to manage the Power Program in the best interests of the
Center, the Landlord has established the following rules, procedures and
protocols for responding to an Extended Outage:
(1) DEFINITIONS:
LEVEL ONE OUTAGE: An Extended Outage lasting more than one hour,
but anticipated by Landlord, in Landlord's sole judgement and
discretion, to last less than three (3) hours.
LEVEL TWO OUTAGE: An Extended Outage lasting or anticipated by
Landlord, in Landlord's sole judgement and discretion, to last
more than, three (3) hours, but less than 24 hours.
LEVEL THREE OUTAGE: An Extended Outage lasting or anticipated by
Landlord, in Landlord's sole judgement and discretion, to last
more than 24 hours.
(2) EXTENDED OUTAGE PROTOCOLS:
In the event of an Extended Outage, the Landlord has established
the following emergency protocols ("Protocols") for each level of
Extended Outage. Tenant shall comply with the Protocols as
invoked by Landlord from time to time.
LEVEL ONE OUTAGE: Tenant's Served Systems may operate as
anticipated under this Supplement. The Landlord shall notify the
Tenant of the occurrence of a Level One Outage.
LEVEL TWO OUTAGE: Tenant's Served Systems may operate as
anticipated under this Supplement. Tenant shall turn off or
disconnect all non-Served Systems within one (1) hour from
Landlord's notice of Level Two Outage. Tenant's personnel not
required in the operation of the Served Systems may be required
by the Landlord to immediately leave the Premises and the Center,
and Tenant shall comply with Landlord's emergency procedures and
rules promulgated from time to time in accordance with the Lease.
The Landlord may, in Landlord's sole discretion, (i) reduce or
eliminate Center AC, (ii) reduce or eliminate non-emergency
Common Area systems and services (including but not limited to
operation of the Food Court, conference centers, and other
services provided by the
PAGE 51

Landlord to the Center), and (iii) require that Tenant turn off
or disconnect non-essential Served Systems, which shall be
accomplished within one (1) to three (3) hours from Landlord's
request to Tenant. The Landlord shall regularly update the
Tenant's Emergency Representative on the changes in status and
anticipated duration of the Level Two Outage.
LEVEL THREE OUTAGE: Only essential Served Systems may operate as
anticipated under this Supplement. Tenant shall turn off or
disconnect all non-essential Served Systems and non-Served
Systems within one (1) hour from Landlord's notice of a Level
Three Outage. Tenant's personnel not required in the operation of
the Served Systems shall immediately leave the Premises and the
Center, and Tenant shall comply with Landlord's emergency
procedures and rules promulgated from time to time in accordance
with the Lease. The Landlord may, in Landlord's sole discretion,
(i) reduce or eliminate Center AC, (ii) reduce or eliminate
non-emergency Common Area systems and services (including but not
limited to operation of the Food Court, conference centers, and
other services provided by the Landlord to the Center), and (iii)
require that Tenant turn off, reduce, or disconnect all Served
Systems as the availability of necessary fuel supply may require.
During a Level Three Outage, the Landlord shall regularly report
to Tenant as to the status of the Extended Outage, anticipated
actions by Landlord, and the availability of fuel supplies, and
shall use all reasonable efforts to notify Tenant of an impending
shut down of Standby Power at least sixty (60) minutes prior to
such shut down.
The Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, upon Landlord's request, the
Tenant will immediately disconnect all non-essential Served Systems from the
Standby Power. Further, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of a
Level Three Outage, fuel may become exhausted and additional fuel unavailable,
and, therefore, the Generators will be shut down and Standby Power discontinued
to the Premises, Served Systems and all Tenant Equipment. Tenant agrees to
cooperate with Landlord in maximizing the fuel supplies and in obtaining
deliveries of additional fuel supplies.
Tenant hereby waives, releases and holds harmless the Landlord, its
partners, affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, employees, and agents from all
claims, demands, damages, liability, costs and expenses with respect to the
Landlord's regulation, reduction, limitation, and discontinuation of the Standby
Power, Landlord's decisions, acts and omissions relating thereto, or the
inability to deliver the Standby Power hereunder.

a service agreement for the maintenance of the Generators with a generator
maintenance company selected by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion.

accordance with the National Fire Protection Agency Level 2 standards for
emergency generators. Copies of the maintenance and repair records for the
Generators shall be kept at the offices of Blue Lake Management, Inc.
("Management") for inspection by the Tenant upon reasonable written notice
during business normal hours.
6. EXCESS DEMAND LOAD. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Landlord
is providing Standby Power to other Subscribing Tenants and that Tenant may not
exceed its Capacity Reservation during any Outage. If the Tenant exceeds its
Capacity Reservation during an Outage ("Excess Demand"), Landlord may, in
Landlord's sole and absolute discretion: (i) require that Tenant immediately
disconnect non-essential Served Equipment and reduce the actual load to the
Capacity Reservation, (ii) if Tenant fails to do so immediately, Landlord may
reduce Standby Power to the Premises so that the actual load is at the Capacity
Reservation, or (iii) if there is sufficient Generator capacity for other
Subscribing Tenants, as Landlord shall determine in its sole and absolute
discretion, charge the Tenant an additional fee for the Excess Demand equal to
200% of the then current Capacity Reservation Fee prorated for the actual load
in excess of the Capacity Reservation ("Excess Demand Fee"). All of the
foregoing are in addition to Landlord's other rights and remedies under this
Supplement and at law or in equity, and, further, are in addition to Protocols
implemented by Landlord in the event of an Extended Outage. Such Excess Demand
Fee shall be billed by Landlord and paid by Tenant as Additional Rent under the
Lease.
