the total rentable square footage of the Premises at any given time and a

Expenses shall be $6.88 per rentable square foot. This is an estimate of the

Expenses made by Tenant during such period. Any additional sum owed by Tenant to

and/or removal of Tenant's Property, and shall restore the Premises to the same
physical condition and layout as they existed at the time Tenant was given
possession of the Premises, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Any other items
of Tenant's Property which shall remain in the Premises after the Expiration
Date of this Lease, or after a period of five (5) days following an earlier
termination date, may, at the option of Landlord, be deemed to have been
abandoned, and in such case, such items may be retained by, or otherwise
disposed of by Landlord. Landlord may request Tenant to remove and pay to
Landlord the cost of repairing any damage to the Premises or the Building
resulting from any installation and/or removal of Tenant's Property and the cost
of restoring the Premises to the same physical condition and layout as they
existed at the time Tenant was given possession of the Premises, reasonable wear
and tear excepted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord has reviewed and
approved the GE Healthcare Financial Services Waiver form (the "Waiver")
provided by Tenant and shall execute same in conjunction with this Lease between
the parties as proposed herein. To the extent of any inconsistency between the
terms of this Lease and the terms of the Waiver relating to Tenant's PET
scanner, the terms of the Waiver shall control.

INSURANCE
Section 10.1 Tenant's Insurance.
(a) Tenant shall, at its cost and expense, obtain and maintain at all times
during the Term, for the protection of Landlord and Tenant, public liability
insurance (comprehensive general liability or commercial general liability)
including contractual liability insurance, with a combined personal injury and
property damage limit of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00)
(combined single limit), insuring against all liability of Tenant and its
representatives arising out of and in connection with Tenant's use or occupancy
of the Property. Landlord and Landlord's Superior Mortgagee (as their interest
shall appear) shall be named as additional insureds.
(b) Tenant shall, at its cost and expense, obtain and maintain at all times
during the Term, fire and extended coverage insurance on the Premises and its
contents, including any leasehold improvements made by Tenant in an amount
sufficient so that no co-insurance penalty shall be invoked in case of loss.
16
(c) Tenant shall increase its insurance coverage, as required, but not more
frequently than each calendar year if, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord or
any mortgagee of Landlord, the amount of public liability and/or property damage
insurance coverage at that time is not adequate.
Section 10.2 Landlord's Insurance. Landlord, at its expense, shall maintain
in force during the Term:
(a) comprehensive general public liability insurance, which shall include
coverage for personal liability, contractual liability, Landlord's legal
liability, bodily injury (including death) and property damage, all on an
occurrence basis with respect to the Property with coverage for any one
occurrence or claim of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (combined
single limit) or such higher amount as the Superior Mortgagee may from time to
time require, with Tenant being named as an additional insured; and
(b) fire and extended coverage insurance, with an agreed amount endorsement
and for the full replacement value of the Building for the replacement value of
the leasehold improvement to the Premises made by Landlord (whether or not
reimbursed by Tenant).
Section 10.3 Insurance Criteria. All insurance required under this Lease
shall be issued by insurance companies licensed to do business in the
jurisdiction where the Property is located. Such companies shall have a
policyholder rating of at least "B+" and be assigned a financial size category
of at least "Class VIII" as rated in the most recent edition of "Best's Key
Rating Guide" for insurance companies. Each policy shall contain an endorsement
requiring thirty (30) days written notice from the insurance company to Landlord
before cancellation or any change in the coverage, scope or amount of any
policy. Each policy, or a certificate showing it is in effect, together with
evidence of payment of premiums, shall be deposited with Landlord on or before
the Commencement Date, and renewal certificates or copies of renewal policies
shall be delivered to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration
date of any policy.
Section 10.4 Evidence of Insurance. Prior to the Commencement Date and upon
each renewal of its insurance policies, each party shall give certificates of
insurance to the other party. The certificate shall specify amounts, types of
coverage and the waiver of subrogation. The policies shall be renewed or
replaced and maintained by the party responsible for that policy. If either
party fails to give the required certificate within thirty (30) days after
written notice of demand for it, the other party may obtain and pay for that
insurance and receive reimbursement from the party required to have insurance,
plus interest on the amounts advanced at 18% simple interest per annum.
Section 10.5 Insurance Risk Increases. If any of Landlord's insurance
policies shall be canceled or cancellation shall be threatened or the coverage
thereunder reduced or threatened to be reduced in any way because of the use of
the Premises or any part thereof by Tenant or any assignee or subtenant of
17
Tenant or by anyone Tenant permits on the Premises where such usage is for other
than general office use and would, in the underwriter's reasonable opinion,
increase the risk of fire or other casualty (Landlord acknowledging that
Tenant's PET scanning equipment does not so increase any such risk), and if
Tenant fails to remedy the condition within a reasonable time after notice
thereof, Landlord may at its option, either terminate this Lease (but only after
written notice) or enter upon the Premises and attempt to remedy such condition,
and Tenant shall promptly pay the cost thereof to Landlord. Landlord shall not
be liable for any damage or injury caused to any property of Tenant or of others
located on the Premises from such entry.
Section 10.6 Waiver of Subrogation. All policies covering real or personal
property which either party obtains affecting the Property shall include a
clause or endorsement denying the insurer any rights of subrogation or recovery
against the other party to the extent rights have been waived by the insured
before the occurrence of injury or loss. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any
rights of subrogation or recovery against the other for damage or loss to their
respective property due to hazards covered or which should be covered by
policies of insurance obtained or which should be or have been obtained pursuant
to this Lease, to the extent of the injury or loss covered thereby assuming that
any deductible shall be deemed to be insurance coverage.
Section 10.7 Destruction of the Premises or Building. If, during the Term
hereof, the Premises are damaged by reason of fire or other casualty, Tenant
shall give immediate notice thereof to Landlord. Subject to the prior rights of
any mortgagee, Landlord shall restore the Premises to substantially the same
condition they were in immediately before said destruction. Landlord shall
provide its opinion within sixty (60) days of the casualty. If, in Landlord's
reasonable opinion, the restoration can be accomplished within 270 calendar days
after the date Landlord receives notice of the destruction, such destruction
shall not result in a termination of this Lease. If, in Landlord's reasonable
opinion, the restoration cannot be performed within the time stated in this
paragraph, then within thirty (30) days after the determination or the date the
determination was due that the restoration cannot be completed within said time,
Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days notice to the
other party. If Landlord fails to terminate this Lease and restoration is
permitted under existing laws, Landlord shall restore the Premises within a
reasonable period of time not exceeding 270 calendar days from the date of the
casualty, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. Rent shall be
abated during the period in which the Premises (or portion thereof on a prorated
basis) are rendered untenantable as a result of such damage, unless said damage
was caused by the negligence or intentional wrongful act of Tenant or its
officers, employees, agents or invitees. Should Landlord elect to terminate this
Lease, the entire insurance proceeds shall be and remain the outright property
of Landlord, subject to the prior rights of any mortgagee and except any
proceeds received for Tenant's Property, or proceeds received from Tenant's
business interruption insurance, if any.
18
In the event that the Building has been damaged or destroyed by fire or
other casualty to the extent that the cost of restoration of the Building will
exceed a sum constituting fifty percent (50%) of the total replacement cost
thereof, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease provided that
notice thereof is given to Tenant not later than sixty (60) days after such
damage or destruction and Landlord elects not to restore the Building and
terminates all other leases for space in the Building.
ARTICLE XI
ALTERATIONS AND MECHANIC'S LIENS
Section 11.1 Alterations by Tenant. No alterations shall be made by Tenant
after completion of the Initial Leasehold Improvements unless the following
conditions are met:
(a) Tenant shall provide a sealed set of plans prepared and certified by an
architect to Landlord, and Tenant shall have received the prior written consent
of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;
(b) All such alterations or improvements shall be performed by Landlord at
Tenant's expense, or by a licensed contractor approved by Landlord;
(c) Tenant shall have procured all permits, licenses and other
authorizations required for the lawful and proper undertaking thereof, and
immediately upon completion of any such alterations, Tenant shall obtain a
proper Certificate of Occupancy and deliver same to Landlord;
(d) All alterations when completed shall be of such a nature as not to (i)
reduce or otherwise adversely affect the value of the Premises; (ii) diminish
the general utility or change the general character thereof; (iii) result in an
increase of the Operating Expenses, or (iv) adversely affect the mechanical,
electrical, plumbing, security or other such systems of the Building or the
Premises;
(e) All such alterations made by Tenant shall remain on and be surrendered
with the Premises on expiration or termination of this Lease, except Landlord
may require that upon expiration or termination of the Lease that Tenant remove
any and all such alterations Tenant has made to the Premises; and
(f) Tenant shall be liable for any increase in the Building insurance costs
caused, in whole or part, by any alterations make by Tenant to the Premises.
Section 11.2 Mechanic's, Materialmen's and Laborer's Liens. Tenant agrees
that it will make full and prompt payment of all sums necessary to pay for the
cost of repairs, alterations, improvements, changes or other work done by Tenant
to the Premises and further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from
19
and against any and all such costs and liabilities incurred by Tenant, and
against any and all mechanic's, materialman's or laborer's liens arising out of
or from such work or the cost thereof which may be asserted, claimed or charged
against the Premises, the Building or the Property. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Lease, the interest of Landlord in the Property shall not
be subject to liens for improvements made by or for Tenant, whether or not the
same shall be made or done in accordance with any agreement between Landlord and
Tenant and it is specifically understood and agreed that in no event shall
Landlord or the interest of Landlord in the Property be liable for or subjected
to any mechanic's, materialmen's or laborer's liens for improvements or work
made by or for Tenant (excluding the Initial Leasehold Improvements to be
completed by Landlord for benefit of Tenant). THIS LEASE SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITS
THE SUBJECTING OF LANDLORD'S INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY TO ANY MECHANIC'S,
MATERIALMEN'S OR LABORER'S LIENS FOR IMPROVEMENTS MADE BY TENANT OR FOR WHICH
TENANT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYMENT UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LEASE (EXCLUDING THE
INITIAL LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS TO BE COMPLETED BY LANDLORD FOR BENEFIT OF
TENANT). ALL PERSONS DEALING WITH TENANT ARE HEREBY PLACED UPON NOTICE OF THIS
PROVISION. TENANT SHALL ADVISE ITS CONTRACTORS, SUBCONTRACTORS, MATERIALMEN AND
ANY OTHER LIENORS OF THIS PROVISION. In the event any notice or claim of lien
shall be asserted of record against the interest of Landlord in the Property on
account of or growing out of any improvement or work done by or for Tenant, or
any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, for improvements or work the
cost of which is the responsibility of Tenant (excluding the Initial Leasehold
Improvements completed by Landlord for benefit of Tenant), Tenant agrees to have
such notice of claim of lien canceled and discharged of record as a claim
against the interest of Landlord in the Property (either by payment or bond as
permitted by law) within ten (10) days after notice to Tenant by Landlord, and
in the event Tenant shall fail to do so, Tenant shall be considered in default
under this Lease.
ARTICLE XII
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Section 12.1 Tenant's Transfer.
(a) Tenant shall not voluntarily assign or encumber its interest in this
Lease or in the Premises, or sublease all or any part of the Premises, or allow
any other person or entity to occupy or use all or any part of the Premises,
without first obtaining Landlord's written consent, which consent may be
withheld in Landlord's reasonable discretion utilizing Landlord's leasing
criteria in effect at that time. Any assignment, encumbrance or sublease without
Landlord's prior written consent shall be voidable and, at Landlord's election,
shall constitute a default hereunder. No consent to any assignment, encumbrance,
or sublease shall constitute a future waiver of the provisions of this
subparagraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to
sublet to (a) an affiliated entity, (b) a professional corporation or (c) one or
20
more physician sublessees who will utilize the premises at certain designated
times to perform imaging procedures on their patients (any such sublessees in
clauses (b) or (c) being referred to herein as "Permitted Sublessees"), without
requiring Landlord's consent thereto. In any of these events, Tenant shall
remain fully liable for all obligations under this lease.
(b) If Tenant is a partnership, a withdrawal or change, voluntary,
involuntary, or by operation of law of any partner/or partners owning 50% or
more of the partnership, or the dissolution of the partnership, shall be deemed
a voluntary assignment, subject to the requirements of Paragraph 12.1(a) above.
(c) If Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, merger (other than a
reincorporation merger) or consolidation, or other reorganization of Tenant, or
the sale of or the transfer of controlling percentage of the capital stock of
Tenant, or the sale of 51% of the total combined voting power of all classes of
Tenant's capital stock issued, outstanding, and entitled to vote for the
election of directors in both of such instances, relating solely to a sale of
Tenant's business to a third party (as opposed to any equity or debt financing
transactions) shall be deemed a voluntary assignment, subject to the
requirements of Paragraph 12.1(a) above.
(d) In the event Landlord consents to the sublease of all or any part of
the Premises, such sublease shall be subject to the terms of this Lease.
Landlord shall be entitled to receive and Tenant hereby agrees to pay to
Landlord the total amount of any increased Rent provided for in said assignment
or sublease, including sales tax, paid by a sublessee or assignee.
(e) Any assignment consented to by Landlord shall be evidenced by a validly
executed assignment and assumption of lease agreement, upon such terms and
provisions as shall be approved by Landlord in its sole discretion.
(f) If, without the prior written consent of Landlord, this Lease is
transferred or assigned by Tenant, or if the Premises, or any part thereof, are
sublet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, whether as a result of any act
or omission by Tenant, or by operation of law or otherwise, Landlord may, in
addition to and not in diminution of, or substitution for, any other rights and
remedies under this Lease, or pursuant to law to which Landlord may be entitled
as a result thereof, collect and retain Rent directly from the transferee,
assignee, subtenant or occupant (other than any Permitted Sublessee) and apply
the net amount collected to the Rent due from Tenant to Landlord under this
Lease.
(g) If Tenant requests Landlord's consent to a sublease, then Landlord
shall have the option (to be exercised within ten (10) business days after
Landlord's receipt of Tenant's submission of written request for Landlord's
consent and all information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding the
proposed subtenant in connection therewith), exercisable by Landlord in its sole
and absolute discretion, to cancel this Lease as to the portion of the premises
21
to be demised under the proposed sublease as of the commencement date of the
proposed sublease, in which event this Lease, and the tenancy and occupancy of
Tenant thereunder, as to that portion of the premises to be demised under the
proposed sublease, shall terminate as if such termination date was the original
Expiration Date of this Lease. If Landlord should fail to notify Tenant in
writing of such election within such ten (10) business day period, Landlord
shall be deemed to have waived such termination right. With any termination of
this Lease (in whole or in part) pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph,
Tenant shall deliver up possession of the subject portion of the Premises in
accordance with the applicable provisions of this Lease and shall remove
Tenant's property therein in accordance with the applicable provision of this
Lease.
Section 12.2 Tenant's Liability. Notwithstanding any assignment or
sublease, and notwithstanding the acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any such
assignee or sublessee, Tenant shall continue to remain liable for the payment of
Rent hereunder and for the performance of all of the agreements, conditions,
covenants and terms herein contained.
ARTICLE XIII
OBLIGATION TO COMPLY
Section 13.1 Obligations of Tenant. Tenant shall, during the Term of this
Lease, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all valid laws, ordinances,
regulations, orders and requirements of any governmental authority which may now
or hereafter be applicable to the Premises or to its use, whether or not the
same shall interfere with the use or occupancy of the Premises, arising from (a)
Tenant's use of the Premises; (b) the manner or conduct of Tenant's business or
operation of its installations, equipment or other property therein; (c) any
cause or condition created by or at the instance of Tenant; or (d) breach of any
of Tenant's obligations hereunder, whether or not such compliance requires work
which is structural or non-structural, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or
unforeseen. Tenant shall pay all of the costs, expenses, fines, penalties and
damages which may be incurred by Landlord by reason or arising out of Tenant's
failure to fully and promptly comply with and observe the provisions of this
Section. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of any notice it receives
of the violation of any law or requirement of any public authority with respect
to the Premises or the use or occupation thereof. Tenant's obligation to comply
with laws shall include, without limitation, those laws and regulations
contemplated by Sections 24.2 below and Title III of the Americans With
Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended. In the event Tenant receives any notice
alleging violation of any of the aforementioned laws, ordinances, regulations,
orders, rules or requirements relating to any portion of the Property; or any
notice of regulatory action or investigation instituted in connection therewith,
Tenant shall provide written notice to Landlord thereof within five (5) days
after receipt of same by Tenant.
22
Section 13.2 Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall comply with all rules and
regulations now existing (See Exhibit "C"), or as may be published by Landlord
to tenants of the Building from time to time, provided that any such future
rules and regulations do not impose any material obligations or expenses upon
Tenant.
Section 13.3 Attorneys' Fees. With respect to any default, failure to
perform or any other dispute between Tenant and Landlord arising out of this
Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing
party all costs incurred, including reasonable attorney's costs and fees, which
shall include, but not be limited to, such costs and fees incurred prior to
institution of litigation or in litigation, including trial and appellate
review, and in arbitration, bankruptcy or other administrative or judicial
proceeding.
ARTICLE XIV
RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO PERFORM TENANT'S COVENANTS
Section 14.1 Payment or Performance. Landlord shall have the right, upon
ten (10) days prior written notice to Tenant (or without notice in case of
emergency or in order to avoid any fine, penalty, or cost which may otherwise be
imposed or incurred), to make any payment or perform any act required of Tenant
under any provision in this Lease, and in exercising such right, to incur
necessary and incidental costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's
costs and fees. Nothing herein shall imply any obligation on the part of
Landlord to make any payment or perform any act required of Tenant, and the
exercise of the right to do so shall not constitute a release of any obligation,
waiver of any default or obligation of Landlord to make any similar payment or
perform any similar act in the future.
Section 14.2 Reimbursement. All payments made, and all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with Landlord's exercise of the right set forth in
Section 14.1, shall be reimbursed by Tenant within ten (10) days after receipt
of a xxxx setting forth the amounts so expended. Any such payments, costs and
expenses made or incurred by Landlord shall be treated as Rent owed by Tenant.
ARTICLE XV
NON-LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
Section 15.1 Indemnification.
(a) Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, and its
respective agents and employees, from and against any and all liabilities,
claims, demands, costs and expenses of every kind and nature (including
attorney's fees and costs incurred at trial, on appeal or in bankruptcy
proceedings), including those arising from any injury or damage to any person
(including death), property or business (1) sustained in or about the Property
23
and resulting from the negligence or willful act of Tenant, its employees,
agents, servants, licensees or subtenants, or (2) resulting from the failure of
Tenant to perform its obligations under this Lease; provided, however, Tenant's
obligations under this Section shall not apply to injury or damage to the extent
resulting from the negligence or willful act of Landlord, its agents or
employees.
(b) Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Tenant, and its
respective agents and employees, from and against any and all liabilities,

property or business (1) sustained in or about the Property and resulting from
the negligence or willful act of Landlord, its employees, agents, servants or
licensees, or (2) resulting from the failure of Landlord to perform its
obligations under this Lease; provided, however, Landlord's obligations under
this Section shall not apply to injury or damage to the extent resulting from
the negligence or willful act of Tenant, or its respective agents or employees.
Section 15.2 Right of Recovery. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable
to the other or to an insurance company (by way of subrogation or otherwise)
insuring the other party for any loss or 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,
to the extent such loss or damage is covered by insurance benefiting the party
suffering such loss or damage or was required to be covered by insurance
pursuant to this Lease.
Section 15.3 Independent Obligations; Force Majeure. The obligations of
Tenant hereunder shall not be affected, impaired or excused, nor shall Landlord
have any liability whatsoever to Tenant, because: (a) Landlord is unable to
fulfill, or is delayed in fulfilling, any of its obligations under this Lease by
reason of strike, other labor trouble, governmental action or inaction, controls
or shortages of fuel, supplies, labor or materials, acts of God or any other
cause, whether similar or dissimilar, beyond Landlord's reasonable control
assuming prudent practices; or (b) of any failure or defect in the supply,
quantity or character of electricity, HVAC or water furnished to the Premises,
by reason of any requirement, act or omission of the public utility or others
serving the Building with electric energy, steam, oil, gas or water, or for any
other reason whether similar or dissimilar, beyond Landlord's reasonable
control.
ARTICLE XVI
DEFAULT
Section 16.1 Events of Default. Tenant shall be in default under this Lease
if any one or more of the following events shall occur:
24
(a) Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of the Rent or any other
expenses called for hereunder within five (5) business days after the same shall
become due and payable; or
(b) Tenant shall default in the performance of or compliance with any of
the other terms or provisions of this Lease, and such default shall continue for
a period of fifteen (15) days after the giving of written notice thereof from
Landlord to Tenant, or, in the case of any such default which cannot, after
making a diligent effort, be cured within said fifteen (15) days, Tenant shall
fail to proceed within said fifteen (15) day period to cure such default and
thereafter to prosecute the curing of same with all due diligence (it being
intended that as to a default not susceptible of being cured with due diligence
within such period of fifteen (15) days, the time within which such default may
be cured shall be extended for such period as may be necessary to permit the
same to be cured with bona fide due diligence). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if at any time Landlord reasonably determines that such default may have a
material adverse effect on the Property, then Landlord shall notify Tenant and
the cure period shall terminate and Landlord may pursue its remedies for said
default as provided in Article XVII; or
(c) Tenant shall assign, transfer, mortgage or encumber this Lease or
sublet the Premises in a manner not permitted by Article XII; or
(d) Tenant shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or any Order for
Relief be entered against it, or shall file any petition or answer seeking any
arrangement, reorganization, composition, re-adjustment or similar relief under
any present or future bankruptcy or other applicable law, or shall seek or
consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver, or
liquidator of Tenant of all or any substantial part of Tenant's properties; or
(e) If any creditor of Tenant shall file a petition in bankruptcy against
Tenant or for reorganization of Tenant, under state or federal law, and if such
petition is not discharged within ninety (90) days after the date on which it is
filed; or
(f) Tenant shall vacate or abandon the Premises;
then, and in any such event, or during the continuation thereof Landlord may, at
its option elect any remedy available under Florida Law or as provided in
Article XVII.
Section 16.2 Holding Over. If Tenant does not vacate the Premises upon the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant will be a tenant at
sufferance for the holdover period and all of the terms and provisions of this
Lease will be applicable during that period, except that Tenant will pay
Landlord (in addition to Additional Rent and any other sums payable under this
Lease) as Base Rent for the period of such holdover an amount equal to two times
the Base Rent which would have been payable by Tenant had the holdover period
been a part of the original term of this Lease (without waiver of Landlord's
25
right to recover damages as permitted by law). Upon the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease, Tenant agrees to vacate and deliver the Premises, and
all keys thereto, to Landlord upon delivery to Tenant of notice from Landlord to
vacate. The rental payable during the holdover period will be payable to
Landlord on demand. No holding over by Tenant, whether with or without the
consent of Landlord will operate to extend the term of this Lease. Tenant
indemnifies Landlord against all claims made by any tenant or prospective tenant
against Landlord resulting from delay by Landlord in delivering possession of
the Premises to such other tenant or prospective tenant due to Tenant's failure
to timely vacate the Premises.
ARTICLE XVII
REMEDIES/DAMAGES
In the event Tenant is in default under this Lease as provided in Article XVI,
Landlord may elect, in addition to any and all remedies provided by Florida Law,
any or all of the following remedies:
Section 17.1 Termination of Lease. By written notice to Tenant, designate a
date upon which the Lease shall terminate ("Termination Date"), and thereupon,
on the Termination Date, this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall
terminate. Such termination by Landlord shall not affect the obligations of
Tenant arising under the Lease prior to the Termination Date or the other
remedies of Landlord.
Section 17.2 Termination of Tenant's Possession. Landlord may elect to
terminate Tenant's possessory rights, without terminating the Lease, and upon
such election, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord, and Landlord, at
any time after such termination, may, without further notice, re-enter and
repossess the Premises without being liable to any prosecution or damages
therefore, and no person claiming through or under Tenant or by virtue of any
statute or of any order of any court shall be entitled to possession of the
Premises. At any time or from time to time after any such termination of
Tenant's possession, Landlord may relet the Premises or any part thereof, in the
name of Landlord or otherwise, for such term or terms and on such conditions as
Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine, and may collect and receive the
rents therefore. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for any failure to
relet the Premises or any part thereof or for any failure to collect any rent
due upon any such reletting. The termination of Tenant's possession shall not
relieve Tenant of its liability and obligations under this Lease, including the
obligation to pay Rent, and such liability and obligations shall survive any
such termination. Any Rent or other monetary obligation of Tenant that has been
abated, deferred or forgiven by Landlord in this Lease or any amendment thereto,
and that portion of the Landlord's Allowance determined by multiplying such
allowance by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months elapsed
during the Term hereof and the denominator of which is 120 shall immediately
become due and payable upon the occurrence of an event of default by Tenant
under this Lease. If Landlord, at its option shall relet the Premises during
said period, Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents received by
26
Landlord from such reletting, such net rents to be determined by first deducting
from the gross rents, as and when received by Landlord, the expenses incurred or
paid by Landlord in terminating this Lease and in securing possession thereof,
as well as the expenses of reletting, including, without limitation, the
alteration and preparation of the Premises for new tenants, brokers'
commissions, attorneys' fees and all other expenses properly chargeable against
the Premises and the rental therefrom. It is hereby understood that any such
reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Term of this
Lease but in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of such net
rents over the sum payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, nor shall Tenant be
entitled in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant hereto to a credit
in respect of any net rents from a reletting, except to the extent that such
rents are actually received by Landlord.
Section 17.3 Damages. Landlord may elect, whether this Lease or Tenant's
possession is terminated or not, to recover damages from the Tenant in
accordance with either of the following provisions:
(a) The present value of the entire amount of the Rent which would become
due and payable during the remainder of the Term of this Lease, in which event
Tenant agrees to pay the same at once, together with all Rent theretofore due,
at Landlord's address as provided herein; provided, however, that such payment
shall not constitute a penalty or forfeiture or liquidated damages, but shall
constitute payment in advance of the Rent for the remainder of the Term. Such
present value shall be determined utilizing a discount rate of six percent (6%).
The acceptance of such payment by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of any
failure of Tenant thereafter occurring to comply with any term, provision,
condition or covenant of this Lease. If Landlord elects the remedy given in this
Section 17.3(a), then same shall be Landlord's sole remedy for such default; or
(b) Sums equal to the Rent which would have been payable by Tenant in
accordance with the Lease payable upon the due dates as set forth in the Lease
through the Expiration Date of this Lease.
Lawsuits for the recovery of such damages, or any installments thereof, may
be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when
the Term of this Lease would have expired, nor limit or preclude recovery by
Landlord against Tenant of any sums or damages which, in addition to the damages
particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason or any
default hereunder on the part of Tenant. All remedies of Landlord provided for
herein, or otherwise at law or in equity, shall be cumulative and concurrent.
27
ARTICLE XVIII
EMINENT DOMAIN
Section 18.1 Substantial Taking. If all or a substantial part of the
Property are taken for any public or quasi-public use under any Governmental
Requirement, or by right of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof and,
in Landlord's reasonable judgment, such taking would prevent or materially
interfere with the use of the Premises for the purpose for which it is then
being used, then, at the option of either Landlord or Tenant, this Lease will
terminate, effective on the date physical possession is taken by the condemning
authority.
Section 18.2 Partial Taking. Following a taking of any part of the Property
for any public or quasi-public use under any Governmental Requirement or by
right of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof, if this Lease is not
terminated as provided in Section 18.1 above, then Landlord will, to the extent
of condemnation proceeds (excluding any proceeds for land) actually received by
Landlord, restore the Property and other improvements on the Property to the
extent necessary to make the Premises reasonably tenantable. The Base Rent
payable under this Lease during the period for which the Premises are
untenantable will be reduced to an amount determined by multiplying the Base
Rent that otherwise would be payable but for this provision by the ratio that
the partial Gross Leasable Area of the Premises not rendered untenantable bears
to the total Gross Leasable Area of the Premises prior to the taking. If
Landlord fails to substantially complete such restoration within 180 days of the
date of the physical possession by the condemning authority, Tenant may at its
option terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to
Landlord.
Section 18.3 Condemnation Proceeds. All compensation awarded for any taking
(or the proceeds of private sale in lieu thereof), whether for the whole or a
part of the Premises, will be the property of Landlord (whether such award is
compensation for damages to Landlord's or Tenant's interest in the Premises) and
Tenant hereby assigns all of its interest in any such award to Landlord;
provided, however, Landlord will have no interest in any award made to Tenant
for loss of business or for taking of Tenant's fixtures and other property
within the Premises if a separate award for such items is made to Tenant.
Section 18.4 Partial Taking. In the event of any taking of less than the
whole of the Building or Premises which does not result in termination of this
Lease, then: (a) subject to the prior rights of a Superior Mortgagee, Landlord,
at its expense, shall proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the remaining
parts of the Building and the Premises (other than those parts of the Premises
which are Tenant's Property) to substantially their former condition to the
extent that the same is feasible (subject to reasonable changes which Landlord
shall deem desirable), so as to constitute a complete and tenantable Building
and Premises; and (b) Tenant, at its expense, shall proceed with reasonable
diligence to restore the remaining parts of the Premises which are deemed
Tenant's Property pursuant hereto, to substantially their former condition to
the extent feasible, subject to reasonable changes which Tenant shall deem
28
desirable and Landlord shall approve. THE LANDLORD HAS THE RIGHT TO REVIEW AND
APPROVE ALL IMPROVEMENTS TO THE BUILDING PRIOR TO THEIR CONSTRUCTION. Such work
by Tenant shall be deemed alterations as described in Section 11.1 hereinabove.
In the event of any partial taking, Tenant shall be entitled to a reduction in
Rent for the remainder of the Lease Term following such partial taking based
upon the percentage of Premises taken relative to the original Premises leased.
ARTICLE XIX
QUIET ENJOYMENT
Section 19.1 Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord agrees that Tenant, upon paying all
Rent and all other charges herein provided for and observing and keeping the
covenants, agreements, terms and conditions of this Lease and the rules and
regulations of Landlord affecting the Premises on its part to be performed,
shall lawfully and quietly hold, occupy and enjoy the Premises during the Term
hereof, expressly subject to the terms, limitations and conditions contained in
this Lease.
ARTICLE XX
SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT
Section 20.1 Subordination, Attornment and Non-Disturbance. This Lease, and
all rights of Tenant hereunder, are and shall be subordinate to any mortgage,
long-term lease such as a master lease, ground lease, deed of trust or other
encumbrance, whether now of record or recorded after the date of this Lease,
affecting all or any part of the Property. Such subordination is self-operative
without any further act of Tenant. Any mortgage, long-term lease such as a
master lease, ground lease, deed of trust or other encumbrance to which this
Lease is subject and subordinate is hereinafter referred to as a "Superior
Mortgage", and the holder of a Superior Mortgage is hereinafter referred to as a
"Superior Mortgagee". If any Superior Mortgagee shall succeed to the rights of
Landlord hereunder, whether through deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, foreclosure
action or delivery of a new lease or deed, then, at the request of such party
(hereinafter referred to as "Successor Landlord"), Tenant shall attorn to and
recognize such Successor Landlord as Tenant's Landlord under this Lease and
shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument such Successor Landlord may
reasonably request to evidence such attornment subject to reasonable approval by
Tenant. Upon such attornment, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect
as a direct Lease between Successor Landlord and Tenant, upon all terms,
conditions, and covenants as set forth in this Lease, except that the Successor
Landlord shall not: (a) be liable for any previous act or omission of Landlord
under this Lease; (b) be subject to any offset; or (c) be bound by any previous
29
modification of this Lease or by any previous prepayment, unless such
modification or prepayment shall have been previously approved in writing by
such Successor Landlord if such approval was required. Further, upon such
attornment, Landlord shall be released from any future obligation hereunder.
Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of a request by Landlord, execute and deliver
any documents or instruments that may be required by Superior Mortgagee or
Landlord to confirm such subordination or attornment. So long as Tenant is not
in default under this Lease, Tenant's possession of the Premises and Tenant's
rights and privileges under this Lease shall not be diminished or interfered
with by any Successor Landlord during the Term of this Lease. This particular
provision shall be binding upon any assigns or successors in interest to
Landlord. Notwithstanding the subordination and attornment of this Lease to any
Superior Mortgagee which presently exists or which may hereafter be made, or to
any renewal, modification, replacement or extension hereafter of any Superior
Mortgagee, such Superior Mortgagee, by separate recordable agreement, shall
agree that so long as this Lease is in effect and not in default, Tenant's
leasehold interest under this Lease shall not be terminated or disturbed. Such
non-disturbance agreement shall also include subordination and attornment
provisions satisfactory to Superior Mortgagees.
Section 20.2 Notice to Landlord and Superior Mortgagee. If any act or
omission of Landlord would give Tenant the right, immediately or after the lapse
of a period of time, to cancel this Lease or to claim a partial or total
eviction, Tenant shall not exercise such right: (a) until it has given written
notice of such act or omission to Landlord and any Superior Mortgagee of whom
Landlord has notified Tenant of such mortgagee's name and mailing address, and
(b) until a reasonable period of time for remedying such act or omission shall
have elapsed following the giving of such notice and following the time when
such Superior Mortgagee shall have become entitled under such Superior Mortgage
to remedy the same. In the event any Superior Mortgagee shall request reasonable
modifications to this Lease as a condition to financing or refinancing, Tenant
shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or defer in providing its consent
thereto, provided that Landlord pays any costs incurred by Tenant in connection
therewith and any such modification does not create any additional obligations
of Tenant or materially adversely affect Tenant's rights under this Lease.
ARTICLE XXI

eviction.

first Renewal Term. The terms, covenants and conditions during the initial Term
(the "Initial Term"), shall be continued and carried over into each Renewal
Term, except as specifically set forth hereinafter.
(a) The Base Rent during the Renewal Term shall be the then Market Rent (as
defined in clause (b) below).
(b) "Market Rent" shall mean the "fair market rent" for the Premises, as of
the commencement date of each Renewal Term (the "Determination Date"), based

expenses, real estate taxes, CPI), the extent of liability under the escalation
clauses (e.g., whether determined on a "net lease" basis or by increases over a
particular base year or base dollar amount), length of the term, size, location
and condition of premises being leased, and other generally applicable terms and
conditions of tenancy for the space in questions. Such market rent shall be
determined and agreed upon by the parties within thirty (30) days of Tenant's
notice to Landlord of its exercise of its option to renew, or such option to
renew shall become null and void.
Section 24.15 Option Conditions. Tenant's option to renew, as provided in
Section 24.14 above, shall be strictly conditioned upon and subject to each of
the following:
36
(a) Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of Tenant's exercise of its
option to renew at least nine (9) months, prior to the expiration of the Initial
term;
(b) At the time Landlord receives Tenant's notice as provided in (a) above,
and at the expiration of the Initial Term, Tenant shall not be in default under
the terms or provisions of this Lease and the Tenant named on the first and last
page of this Lease or any permitted sublessee of Tenant or an affiliate thereof
(as provided in Section 12.1(a) shall be in occupancy of the option Premises;
(c) Tenant shall have no further renewal options other than the two (2)
options to extend for the Renewal Term of five (5) years each as set forth in
Section 24.14 above;
(d) These options to renew shall be deemed personal to the Tenant named on
the first and last page of this Lease or an affiliate thereof and may be
assigned subject to the provisions of this Lease; and
(e) Landlord shall have no obligation to do any work for the Renewal Terms
with respect to the Premises or the Building, which Tenant agrees to accept in
their then "as is" condition.

event that after-hours usage is requested by Tenant of Landlord or Landlord's
agent for after-hours electricity or for heating, ventilation, and
air-conditioning for business hours beyond the current business hours of the
Building as set forth in Exhibit C, then Landlord or its' agent shall xxxx
Tenant for each hour of usage at a rate currently established at $25.00 per hour
per unit activated. This rate may be adjusted should utility costs imposed by
Florida Power and Light increase. Any after-hours billing shall be prepared by
Landlord's agent and delivered monthly to Tenant. Reimbursement to Landlord
shall be made by Tenant within five (5) days of receipt of invoice.
Landlord acknowledges Tenant's intent to have installed its own auxiliary air
conditioning unit in the scanning room within the Leased Premises as part of the
Initial Leasehold Improvements to the Premises. Tenant shall be solely liable
for the costs associated with operating such individual unit(s) as charged by
the local utility company by way of a separate meter.
Section 24.17 Exclusive Use Clause. During the Term of this Lease or any
Renewal Terms, Landlord will not lease space in Concourse I, II or III to any
tenant operating an outpatient medical diagnostic imaging center.
Section 24.18 Entire Agreement. This Lease constitutes the entire
understanding between the parties and shall bind the parties, their successors
and assigns. No representations, except as herein expressly set forth, have been
made by either party to the other, and this Lease cannot be amended or modified
except by a writing signed by Landlord and Tenant.
