1 Subject to one (1) month abatement as provided in Section 2(B) below
plus applicable state and local sales and use taxes due thereon, in advance, on or before the first day of each calendar month during the Term, except that Base Rent and Additional Rent (as herein defined) for the first full calendar month for which Base Rent shall be due, plus applicable state and local sales and use taxes due thereon, together with the Security Deposit, if any, shall be paid when Tenant executes this Lease. If the Term commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, or ends on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, Base Rent for such month shall be prorated on the basis of 1/30th of the monthly Base Rent for each day of such month. Base Rent, together with applicable state and local sales and use taxes due thereon, shall be paid without any prior demand or notice therefor, and shall in all events be paid without any deduction, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim, and without relief from any valuation or appraisement laws. Landlord may apply payments received from Tenant to any obligations of Tenant then accrued, without regard to such obligations as may be designated by Tenant. Tenant shall have the right to access the Premises during the last thirty (30) days of Landlord’s Work to the extent legally permissible for the installation of Tenant’s equipment, furniture and fixtures, including, but not limited to, phone lines and data wiring for computers and electronic equipment (“Early Access Period”), subject to the provisions of the Workletter (as defined in said Article 4). During the Early Access Period, Tenant agrees to comply with all of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease, excluding the covenant to pay Base Rent and Additional Rent.
(B)
Rent Abatement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 2 or in Article 3 below, and provided Tenant is not in default under this Lease after written notice and the expiration of the applicable cure period, the monthly Base Rent for the Premises and Tenant’s Prorata Share of Taxes and Operating Expenses shall be abated for the first thirty (30) days following the Commencement Date of the Lease (“Abatement Period”). Notwithstanding said abatement, Tenant shall remain obligated to pay all other charges under this Lease. If, however, at any time during the Abatement Period a default occurs and such default is not cured during the applicable notice and cure period, monthly Base Rent and Tenant’s Prorata Share of Taxes and Operating Expenses shall immediately become due and payable for the Abatement Period.
ARTICLE 3
Additional Rent
(A)
Taxes. Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to Tenant’s Prorata Share of Taxes plus applicable state and local sales and use taxes due thereon. The terms “Taxes” and “Tenant’s Prorata Share” shall have the meanings specified therefor in Article 24.
(B)
Operating Expenses. Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to Tenant’s Prorata Share of Operating Expenses plus applicable state and local sales and use taxes due thereon. The term “Operating Expenses” shall have the meaning specified therefor in Article 24 and shall be net of electricity and chilled water, which are metered separately, and net of janitorial for which tenants contract directly with janitorial service companies approved by Landlord.
(C)
Manner of Payment. Taxes and Operating Expenses shall be paid in the following manner:
(i)
Landlord may reasonably estimate in advance the amounts Tenant shall owe for Taxes and Operating Expenses for any full or partial calendar year of the Term. In such
2
event, Tenant shall pay such estimated amounts, on a monthly basis in installments equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual estimate plus applicable state and local sales and use taxes due thereon, on or before the first day of each calendar month, together with Tenant’s payment of Base Rent. Such estimate may be adjusted from time to time by Landlord, as it reasonably determines.
(ii)
Within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall provide a statement (the “Statement”) to Tenant showing: (a) the amount of actual Taxes and Operating Expenses for such calendar year, with a listing of amounts for major categories of Operating Expenses, (b) any amount paid by Tenant towards Taxes and Operating Expenses during such calendar year on an estimated basis, and (c) any revised estimate of Tenant’s obligations for Taxes and Operating Expenses for the current calendar year.
(iii)
If the Statement shows that Tenant’s estimated payments were less than Tenant’s actual obligations for Taxes and Operating Expenses for such year, Tenant shall pay the difference plus applicable state and local sales and use taxes due thereon. If the Statement shows an increase in Tenant’s estimated payments for the current calendar year, Tenant shall pay the difference between the new and former estimates, for the period from January 1 of the current calendar year through the month in which the Statement is sent, plus applicable state and local sales and use taxes due thereon. Tenant shall make such payments within thirty (30) days after Landlord sends the Statement.
(iv)
If the Statement shows that Tenant’s estimated payments exceeded Tenant’s actual obligations for Taxes and Operating Expenses, Tenant shall receive a credit for the difference against payments of Rent next due. If the Term shall have expired and no further Rent shall be due, Tenant shall receive a refund of such difference within thirty (30) days after Landlord sends the Statement.
(v)
So long as Tenant’s obligations hereunder are not materially adversely affected thereby, Landlord reserves the right to reasonably change, from time to time, the manner or timing of the foregoing payments. In lieu of providing one Statement covering Taxes and Operating Expenses, Landlord may provide separate statements, at the same or different times. No delay by Landlord in providing the Statement (or separate statements) shall be deemed a default by Landlord or a waiver of Landlord’s right to require payment of Tenant’s obligations for actual or estimated Taxes or Operating Expenses.
(D)
Proration. If the Term commences other than on January 1, or ends other than on December 31, Tenant’s obligation to pay estimated and actual amounts towards Taxes and Operating Expenses for such first or final calendar years shall be prorated to reflect the portion of such years included in the Term. Such proration shall be made by multiplying the total estimated or actual (as the case may be) Taxes and Operating Expenses for such calendar years, by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days of the Term during such calendar year, and the denominator of which shall be three hundred and sixty-five (365).
(E)
Landlord’s Records. Landlord shall maintain records respecting Taxes and Operating Expenses and determine the same in accordance with sound accounting and management practices, consistently applied. This Lease contemplates the computation of Taxes and Operating Expenses on a full accrual basis. Landlord reserves the right to change to a cash system of accounting and, in such event, Landlord shall make reasonable and appropriate adjustments to ensure that each calendar year includes substantially the same
3
recurring items. Tenant or its representative (which may be an independent certified public accountant, “CPA”) shall have the right to examine such records during Normal Business Hours at the place or places where such records are normally kept by sending a written request no later than thirty (30) days following the furnishing of the Statement. Tenant may take exception to matters included in Operating Expenses or Taxes, or Landlord’s computation of Tenant’s Prorata Share of either, by sending notice specifying such exception and the reasons therefor to Landlord no later than thirty (30) days after Landlord makes such records available for examination. Such Statement shall be considered final, except as to matters to which exception is taken after examination of Landlord’s records in the foregoing manner and within the foregoing times. Tenant acknowledges that Landlor d’s ability to budget and incur expenses depends on the finality of such Statement, and accordingly agrees that time is of the essence of this Section. If Tenant takes exception to any matter contained in the Statement within the time parameters set forth above, Landlord, subject to the provisions of the next sentence, shall refer the matter to a CPA, whose certification as to the proper amount shall be final and conclusive as between Landlord and Tenant, provided that the CPA designated by Landlord shall take into account any exceptions and the basis therefor raised by the CPA designated by Tenant. If Landlord has already retained, in response to another tenant’s exceptions, a CPA to certify one or more of the matters to which Tenant has taken exception, then, upon Landlord’s receipt of such CPA’s certification, Landlord shall provide a copy of the relevant portions thereof to Tenant and, based upon such certification, Landlord shall recalculate, to the extent applicable and for the peri od of time in question, the amount of those particular matters included in Tenant’s Prorata Share of Taxes or Operating Expenses to which Tenant took exception. Landlord shall allow Tenant a credit against Rent next due for the amount of any overpayment and Tenant shall promptly pay Landlord the amount of any underpayment plus applicable state and local sales and use taxes due thereon. Unless such CPA certification determines that Operating Expenses were overstated by more than five percent (5%), Tenant shall promptly pay the cost of such CPA certification. Compensation to any CPA shall not be determined or paid on a contingency, percentage, bonus or similar basis. Pending resolution of any such exceptions in the foregoing manner, Tenant shall continue paying Tenant’s Prorata Share of Taxes and Tenant’s Prorata Share of Operating Expenses in the amounts determined by Landlord, subject to adjustment after any such exceptions are so resolved.
(F)
Confidentiality of Records. All information obtained through Tenant’s examination of Landlord’s records with respect to financial matters (including, without limitation, costs, expenses, income), as well as any compromise, settlement or adjustment reached between Landlord and Tenant relative to the results of Tenant’s examination shall be held in confidence by Tenant and its officers, agents, and employees and, except as may be required by applicable law or in connection with any court proceeding, arbitration, mediation or other proceeding where such information is relevant, shall not be divulged to any other person, firm, corporation, business organization, consultant, entity or occupant or tenant of the Complex at any time; and Tenant shall cause its accountant or consultant and any of its officers, agents and employees to be similarly bound.
(G)
Rent and Other Charges. Base Rent, Tenant’s Prorata Share of Taxes and Tenant’s Prorata Share of Operating Expenses, plus applicable state and local sales and use taxes due thereon, and any other amounts which Tenant is or becomes obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease or other agreement entered in connection herewith, are sometimes herein referred to collectively as “Rent,” and all remedies applicable to the non-payment of Rent shall be applicable thereto. Applicable state and local sales and use taxes on monthly installments of Rent shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord simultaneously with the monthly payment of Base Rent. All sums payable by Tenant under this Lease shall be paid to Landlord
4
in legal tender of the United States by wire transfer (in accordance with wire transfer instructions contained onSchedule 3(G) attached hereto and made a part hereof, as same may be amended from time-to-time in accordance with the notice provisions of this Lease) or by check drawn on a U.S. bank (subject to collection), at the address to which notices to Landlord are to be given or to such other party or such other address as Landlord may designate in writing. Landlord’s acceptance of Rent after it shall have become due and payable shall not excuse a delay upon any subsequent occasion or constitute a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights. With respect to such wire transfers, Tenant shall bear the full risk of receipt of funds by 2:00 pm on the date due at Landlord’s depository bank. In the event that Landlord’s lender imposes special collection and bank account procedu res on Landlord as a condition of Landlord’s financing, Tenant agrees to cooperate fully with Landlord, at no additional cost to Tenant, in assisting Landlord in complying with such requirements and such modified payment terms shall be deemed to be made a part of this Lease.
(H)
Operating Expense Cap. (i)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article, the Controllable Operating Expenses used for computing Tenant’s Prorata Share of Operating Expenses for any calendar year during the Term shall not exceed an amount equal to the Controllable Operating Expense Cap for such calendar year, which is 105% times the amount of the Controllable Operating Expenses taken into account in determining Tenant’s Prorata Share of Operating Expenses for the immediately prior calendar year plus the amount of the unused Controllable Operating Expense Cap, if any, for such prior calendar year. For purposes of this clause (H), the following terms have the meanings specified below: (1) “Controllable Operating Expenses” shall mean all Operating Expenses excluding “Non-Controllable Operating Expenses”; and (2) “Non-Controllable Operating Expenses& #148; shall mean the cost of insurance and utilities, and the cost, net of insurance recoveries, of repairs and restoration due to hurricanes and other extreme weather-related causes, provided that (i) Landlord shall endeavor to minimize the possibility of any shortfall by using commercially reasonable efforts to adequately insure the Building, and (ii) Landlord shall maintain commercially reasonable deductible limits consistent with the practice of other landlords of similar properties in south Florida.
As an example, if the Controllable Operating Expenses in Year 1 of the Lease are $100 and Controllable Operating Expenses for Year 2 are $109, then only $105 may be taken into account in determining Tenant’s Prorata Share of Controllable Operating Expenses for Year 2, and the Controllable Operating Expense Cap for Year 3 is $110.25 (105% times the $105 of Controllable Operating Expenses taken into account in calculating Tenant’s Prorata Share for Year 2).
ARTICLE 4
Commencement of Term and Delivery of Possession
(A)
Term Commencement. If, by July 1,2009, Landlord fails to substantially complete any improvements to the Premises required to be performed by Landlord (“Landlord’s Work”) under the terms and provisions of that certain workletter attached hereto asExhibit B (“Workletter”) and obtain a Certificate of Occupancy for the Premises, except to the extent that Tenant, its contractors, agents or employees materially and substantially contributed to such delay, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord any time thereafter until Landlord substantially completes any such improvements, obtains a Certificate of Occupancy for the Premises and delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant. Any delay in the Commencement Date shall not subject Landlord to liability for loss or damage resulting
5

Subject to Landlord’s obligations to “build out” the Premises, Tenant has inspected the Premises, Building, Complex, Systems and Equipment (as defined in Article 24), or has had an opportunity to do so, and agrees to accept the same “as is” without any agreements, representations, understandings or obligations on the part of Landlord to perform any alterations, repairs or improvements and no representations respecting the condition of the Premises, Building, Complex or Systems and Equipment have been made to Tenant by or on behalf of Landlord, except as expressly provided herein or in any Workletter attached hereto asExhibit B and signed by the parties.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord represents that (i) the Building and Complex are currently in compliance, in all material respects, with applicable Law, including The Americans With Disabilities Act, and Tenant shall not be responsible for any expense incurred to bring the Building (including the Premises) or Complex into compliance with applicable Law as of the Commencement Date; (ii) the Premises will be “built out” by Landlord in accordance with the Plans (as defined in the Workletter), and the improvements depicted in the Plans will comply with applicable Law; (iii) the mechanical systems, the roof and the structure of the Premises shall be delivered in good working order and condition and Landlord’s Work shall be completed in accordance with applicable Law; and (iv) all new common area corridors, restrooms and Building lobby will have been complete d in accordance with applicable Law.

With respect to the location of equipment within the Premises, Landlord shall have the right to review and approve such initial placement and any relocation thereof, with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(C)
Tenant shall not use the Premises for any unlawful purpose or in any manner that will constitute waste, nuisance or unreasonable annoyance to Landlord or any other tenant of the Building or Complex, or in any manner that will increase the number of parking spaces required for the Building or Complex at full occupancy or otherwise as required by Law.

With respect to any initial leasehold improvements to be installed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease, Landlord shall obtain the initial certificate of occupancy for the Premises. Any amended or substitute certificate of occupancy necessitated by Tenant’s particular use of the Premises or any Tenant Work or Alterations (as hereinafter defined) made by Tenant in the Premises following the Commencement Date shall be obtained by Tenant at Tenant’s sole expense; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed as Landlord’s consent to any Tenant Work or Alterations of the Premises.
(E)
Tenant shall comply with, and shall cause any subtenants, assignees, occupants, invitees, employees, contractors and agents to comply with, the rules set forth in Rider One attached hereto (the “Rules”).

The Rules shall be applied on a non-discriminatory basis, but nothing herein shall be construed to give Tenant or any other Person any claim, demand or cause of action against Landlord arising out of the violation of any Rules by any other tenant, occupant, or visitor of the Building or Complex, or out of the enforcement or waiver of the Rules by Landlord in any particular instance.

Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of the meter and installation thereof and the cost of Tenant’s HVAC and chilled water consumed in the Premises. Tenant shall have the ability to change its cooling days and hours at any time. Tenant shall be permitted to add variable air volume boxes (“VAV’s”) to the ductwork, at locations approved by Landlord, and at Tenant’s expense, to allow Tenant to cool only the Premises upon request. Landlord’s prior written approval shall be required to the plans and specifications for such VAV’s. Tenant shall have the right to install its own sup plemental HVAC unit in the Premises, which may run off of the local supplier’s riser, provided that the plans and location for installation of such supplemental HVAC unit are approved by Landlord in writing in advance and all metering and installation charges and costs for consumption shall be at Tenant’s expense.
(C)
Landlord may install and operate meters or any other reasonable system for monitoring or estimating any services or utilities which are not separately metered and are used
8
by Tenant in excess of those required to be provided by Landlord under this Article (including a system for Landlord’s engineer to reasonably estimate any such excess usage). If such system indicates such excess services or utilities, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable charges for installing and operating such system and any supplementary air-conditioning, ventilation, heat, electrical or other systems or equipment (or adjustments or modifications to the existing Systems and Equipment), and Landlord’s reasonable charges for such amount of excess services or utilities used by Tenant.
(D)
Landlord does not warrant that any services or utilities will be free from shortages, failures, variations, or interruptions caused by repairs, maintenance, replacements, improvements, alterations, changes of service, strikes, lockouts, labor controversies, accidents, inability to obtain services, fuel, steam, water or supplies, governmental requirements or requests, or other causes beyond Landlord’s reasonable control (each, a “Force Majeure Interruption”).

Landlord in no event shall be liable for damages by reason of loss of p rofits, business interruption or other consequential damages.

Landlord agrees to provide and maintain an electronically controlled access system for the Common Areas of the Building during the Term (“Electronic Access System”); provided, however, that no representation or warranty with respect to the adequacy, completeness or integrity of the Electronic Access System is made by Landlord, and except for losses attributable to Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, the risk that any such system or entrance may not be effective, or may malfunction, or be circumvented by a criminal, is assumed by Tenant with respect to Tenant’s property and interest, and Tenant shall obtain insurance coverage to the extent Tenant desires protection against such criminal acts and other losses. Landlord reserves the right to modify, supplement or revise the access system at any time in its reasonable judgment. Said access syste m is not intended to serve as security for the Premises or otherwise for individual tenant-occupied spaces or suites. Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of all access cards issued with respect to the Premises for the Electronic Access System.
(F)
Tenant shall have the right to provide and maintain a security system within the Premises in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Landlord in accordance with the approval process set forth in the Workletter, or, in the event that such system is installed after completion of the Tenant Work, in accordance with the approval of Alterations under
9
Article 8; provided that Tenant shall provide Landlord with either the necessary codes and keys to gain access to the Premises or an emergency contact person to provide access to the Premises on a 24-hour-a-day, 365-day-a-year basis. Except in the event of an emergency, Landlord shall not modify or suspend Tenant’s security system without Tenant’s prior written consent. In the event of an emergency, if the emergency contact person is not available when needed to provide access, Landlord will have the right to gain access to the Premises by whatever means is reasonably necessary provided that Landlord determines in its reasonable judgment that emergency conditions necessitate such access, and, in such event, Landlord shall not be responsible for any damage caused thereby. Tenant shall be solely responsible for repair of such damage at its sole cost and expense.
(G)
In the event that the Premises is not separately metered, Landlord shall have the exclusive right (i) to choose the company or companies to provide electrical service to the Complex, the Building and the Premises, (ii) to aggregate the electrical service for the Complex, the Building and the Premises with other buildings or properties, (iii) to purchase electrical service through an agent, broker or buyer’s group, and (iv) to change the electrical service provider or manner of purchasing electrical service from time to time. Landlord shall be entitled to receive a reasonable fee (over and above any management fees or other fees) for the services Landlord performs in connection with the selection of utility companies and the administration and negotiation of contracts for the provision of electrical service.
(H)
Landlord shall have no responsibility for the rendering of telephone service to the Premises and Tenant shall arrange for and shall pay directly to the company furnishing the same all charges for such services used in the Premises.
(I)
Subject to the terms contained herein, Landlord reserves the right to interrupt air conditioning, elevator, plumbing, or electrical service, when, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, such interruption is deemed necessary by reason of accident, emergency or for repairs, alterations, replacements or improvements thereto, provided that Landlord will notify Tenant in advance, except in the case of an emergency, of any such interruption and, if ascertainable, its estimated duration, and will undertake with reasonable diligence the work reasonably necessary to resume such service as promptly as reasonably possible and in a manner and at times so as not to unduly interfere with or impair Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises.
(J)
Upon Tenant’s request, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a Supplement to Lease for Emergency Standby Electric Power Service in the form of Exhibit C-1 attached hereto and made a part hereof pursuant to which Tenant shall contract for emergency standby electric power service in accordance with the rate schedule set forth in Exhibit C-2 attached hereto and made a part hereof.

(A)
Tenant shall make no additions, changes, alterations or improvements (the “Alterations”) to the Premises or the Systems and Equipment (as defined in Article 24) pertaining to the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may make non-structural, cosmetic Alterations which do not affect Systems and Equipment or cost in excess of $50,000 in any single instance without Landlord’s consent but otherwise in accordance with the provisions of the Lease. Landlord may impose reasonable requirements as a condition of such consent, including, without limitation, the submission of plans and specifications for Landlord’s
10
prior written approval, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, obtaining necessary permits, posting bonds, obtaining insurance, prior approval of contractors, subcontractors and suppliers, prior receipt of copies of all contracts and subcontracts, contractor and subcontractor lien waivers, affidavits listing all contractors, subcontractors and suppliers, use of union labor (if Landlord uses union labor), affidavits from engineers acceptable to Landlord stating that the Alterations will not adversely affect the Systems and Equipment or the structure of the Building or the Complex, and requirements as to the manner and times in which such Alterations shall be done. All Alterations shall be performed (i) in a good and workmanlike manner and all materials used shall be of a quality comparable to or better than those in the Premises and Building, (ii) in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Landlord, and (iii) in accordance with all applicable legal requirements and requirements of any insurance company insuring the Building or portion thereof. Landlord may require that all such Alterations be performed under Landlord’s supervision. In all cases, Tenant shall pay Landlord a reasonable fee not to exceed $1,000 to cover Landlord’s overhead in reviewing Tenant’s plans and specifications and performing any supervision of the Alterations. If Landlord consents or supervises, the same shall not be deemed a warranty as to the adequacy of the design, workmanship or quality of materials, and Landlord hereby expressly disclaims any responsibility or liability for the same. Landlord shall under no circumstances have any obligation to repair, maintain or replace any portion of the Alterations.
(B)
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 bill for work don e 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. Landlord has recorded or will record a notice of the foregoing in the Public Records of Palm Beach County, Florida, pursuant to the provisions of Section 713.10 Florida Statutes.
(C)
Tenant shall keep the Complex, the Building and the Premises free from any mechanic’s, materialman’s or similar liens or other such encumbrances in connection with any Alterations on or respecting the Premises not performed by or at the request of Landlord, and shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, costs, damages, liabilities, judgments, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of the same or in connection therewith. Tenant shall give Landlord notice at least twenty (20) days prior to the commencement of any Alterations on the Premises (or such additional time as may be necessary under applicable Laws), to afford Landlord the opportunity of posting and recording appropriate notices of non-responsibility. In all events Tenant will notify Landlord in writing, for Landlord’s approval, of the identities of any cont ractors or subcontractors Tenant proposes to use in the Premises at least ten (10) days prior to the beginning of work by any such contractors or subcontractors.
(D)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any mechanic’s or other lien shall be filed against the Premises, the Building or the Complex purporting to be for labor or materials furnished or to be furnished at the request of Tenant, then Tenant shall at its expense cause
11
such lien to be discharged by payment or posting of a cash or surety bond (in a manner and an amount, and with a bonding company, satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion), or other means satisfactory to Landlord within ten (10) days after written notice to Tenant thereof. If Tenant shall fail to take such action within such ten (10) day period, Landlord may cause such lien to be discharged by payment, bond or otherwise, without investigation as to the validity thereof or as to any offsets or defenses thereto (without limitation as to other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease), and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of discharging such lien plus interest thereon at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum, together with an administrative fee of Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars (“$2,500.00”). Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord agai nst any and all claims, costs, damages, liabilities, judgments, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which may be brought or imposed against or incurred by Landlord by reason of any such lien or its discharge, and all such sums shall be deemed to be Rent and immediately due and payable upon demand by Landlord.
(E)
Consent to an Alteration shall not constitute consent or authorization by Landlord to the placement of financing by Tenant relating to the Alterations that purports to create any security interest in the Building or that purports to subordinate this Lease to any such financing, and any such effort or agreement by Tenant shall constitute a Default.
(F)
During the construction of any Tenant Work or subsequent Alterations and in the course of the operation of the Building, Landlord shall have authority to reasonably coordinate access to loading areas, freight elevators (if any), the roof, shafts, space and other areas of the Building, and to adopt reasonable rules and regulations pertaining to same, and to approve such Tenant access in accordance with Landlord’s reasonable determination. Tenant will also cause its contractor(s) to coordinate their use of and access to the foregoing with Landlord’s base building contractor, which will have authority to approve such access during construction in accordance with Landlord’s reasonable determination.
ARTICLE 9
Repairs
(A)
Except for damage covered under Article 10 and Landlord’s responsibility to maintain the structural components of the Premises, Tenant shall keep the Premises in good and sanitary condition, working order and repair (including, without limitation, carpet, wall-covering, doors, plumbing and other fixtures, equipment, alterations and improvements whether installed by Landlord or Tenant). In the event that any repairs, maintenance or replacements are required for any item for which Tenant is responsible for under the Lease, Tenant shall promptly arrange for the same either through Landlord for such reasonable charges as Landlord may from time to time establish, or such contractors as Landlord generally uses at the Complex or at the Building or such other contractors as Landlord shall first approve in writing, and in a first class, workmanlike manner approved by Landlord in advance in writing. If Tenant does not promptly make such arrangements after five (5) business days prior written notice to Tenant, Landlord may, but need not, make such repairs, maintenance and replacements, and the costs paid or incurred by Landlord therefor shall be reimbursed by Tenant as Rent within five (5) business days after request by Landlord (together with a service charge for Landlord’s administrative services, in an amount equal to the charge customarily assessed by Landlord to other tenants of the Building for similar work, provided such charge shall in no event exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the actual cost to Landlord of such work). Except for repairs, maintenance and replacements to areas of the Building or the Complex outside the Premises, caused, in whole or in part, as a result of (a) moving any furniture, fixtures, or other property to
12
or from the Premises, or by Tenant or its employees, agents, invitees, licensees, subtenants, visitors or contractors, or (b) the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its employees, agents, invitees, licensees, subtenants, visitors or contractors, or for damage covered under Article 10, Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep the structure of the Premises, Building and Complex and Common Areas (as defined in Article 24) of the Building and Complex and the Systems and Equipment in a clean and good and sanitary condition, first-class working order and repair and in compliance with applicable Law (the cost of which shall be included in Operating Expenses, as described in Article 24, except as limited therein). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the cost of all repairs, and maintenance for the structural components of the Premises, Building and Complex as well as the mec hanical systems servicing the Premises shall not be passed through as Operating Expenses except as may be otherwise expressly permitted under this Lease.
(B)
Landlord, its employees, agents, and authorized contractors shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable hours (upon prior notice to Tenant delivered to the Premises except in an emergency) for the purpose of making such alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises as are otherwise permitted or required to be made by Landlord under this Lease or such alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Building or the Complex as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable. In the event of any work undertaken by Landlord in the Premises for the purpose of making alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Building or the Complex, Landlord agrees, at Tenant’s option, either to repair any physical damage directly caused by any such work to Tenant’s leasehold improvements, fixtures, merchandise and other physical property loc ated within the Premises or reimburse Tenant for the reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant in order to effect such repairs, provided that Landlord shall not be liable for any such repairs to the extent such repairs are covered by Tenant’s insurance or would be covered by insurance required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease. Landlord agrees to use reasonable means to minimize interference with Tenant’s business or damage to, or loss of, Tenant’s property in the Premises on account of such entry by Landlord. If representatives of Tenant shall not be present to open and permit entry into the Premises at any time when such entry by Landlord is necessary or permitted hereunder, Landlord, its employees and agents may enter by means of a master key (or forcibly in the event of an emergency) without liability to Tenant for such entry and without such entry constituting an eviction of Tenant or termination of this Lease. There shall be no abatement of Rent because of any repairs, alterations, a dditions or improvements to the Premises, Building or Complex, except as otherwise provided in Article 10 hereof.
ARTICLE 10
Casualty Damage
(A)
If the Premises, or any Common Areas of the Building or of the Complex providing access thereto, shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall use available insurance proceeds to restore the same. Such restoration shall be to substantially the condition prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other Laws or by any Holder (as defined in Article 24), any other modifications to the Common Areas deemed desirable by Landlord (provided access, size and configuration to the Premises is not materially impaired), and except that Landlord shall not be required to repair or replace any of Tenant Work or any Tenant’s furniture, furnishings, fixtures, equipment or other personal property or any Alterations or other improvements in excess of any work performed by Landlord under the terms and provisions of the Workletter or any separate agreement therefor signed by the parties hereto. Landlord agrees to give Tenant written notice within sixty (60) days
13
of the date of the fire or other casualty of the estimated duration of the repair or restoration required or Landlord’s election to terminate the Lease if permitted under clauses (a) through (d) below. If the estimated time for repair or restoration exceeds two hundred seventy (270) days, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s original notice to Tenant. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof. However, Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Rent (Base Rent and Additional Rent) during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease and not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof (unless Tenant or its employees, age nts, or contractors caused the damage). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease if the Building or the Complex shall be materially damaged by Tenant or its employees, agents, or contractors or if the Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause such that: (a) repairs to the Premises and access thereto cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the casualty without the payment of overtime or other premiums, (b) more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises is affected by the damage, and fewer than twenty-four (24) months remain in the Term, or any material damage occurs to the Premises during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, (c) any Holder shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the Mortgage debt (or shall terminate the ground lease, as the case may be), or the damage is not fully covered by Landlord’s insurance policies, or (d) the cost of the rep airs, alterations, restoration or improvement work would exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the replacement value of the Building, or the nature of such work would make termination of this Lease necessary or convenient. Tenant agrees that Landlord’s obligation to restore, and the abatement of Rent and any other remedies provided herein, shall be Tenant’s sole recourse in the event of such damage, and waives any other rights Tenant may have under any applicable Law to terminate the Lease by reason of damage to the Premises, the Building or the Complex. If this Lease has not been sooner terminated by Landlord or Tenant and the repair or restoration is not completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of the fire or other casualty for any reason, including Force Majeure Delay, Tenant may terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days notice to Landlord, provided that if the repair or restoration is completed within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant’s termination of this Lease shall be null and void and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.
(B)
Landlord shall in no event be obligated to restore any Tenant Work or Alterations made by Tenant, all of which shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant to restore, at Tenant’s sole expense.
ARTICLE 11
Insurance, Subrogation, and Waiver of Claims
Tenant shall maintain during the Term commercial general liability insurance, with limits of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence and Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), in the aggregate, combined single limit for personal injury, bodily injury or death, or property damage or destruction (including loss of use thereof) for any one occurrence. Tenant shall also maintain during the Term worker compensation insurance as required by statute, business interruption insurance and “all-risk” property damage insurance covering any Tenant Work or Alterations, Tenant’s personal property, business records, fixtures and equipment for, damage or other loss caused by fire or other casualty or cause including, but not limited to, vandalism and malicious mischief, theft, water damage of any type, including sprinkler
14
leakage, bursting or stoppage of pipes, explosion, business interruption, and other insurable risks in amounts not less than the full insurable replacement value of such property and full insurable value of such other interests of Tenant (subject to reasonable deductible amounts). Neither the issuance of any insurance policy required hereunder nor the minimum limits specified herein with respect to Tenant’s insurance coverage shall be deemed to limit or restrict in any way Tenant’s liability arising under or out of this Lease. Landlord shall, as part of Operating Expenses, maintain during the Term commercial general liability insurance, with limits of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) combined single limit for personal injury, bodily injury or death, or property damage or destruction (including loss of use thereof) for any one occurrence. Landlord shall also, as part of Operating Expenses, maintain during the Term worker compensation insurance as required by statute, and primary, non-contributory, extended coverage or “all-risk” property damage insurance, in an amount equal to at least ninety percent (90%) of the full insurable replacement value of the Building (exclusive of the costs of excavation, foundations and footings, and such risks required to be covered by Tenant’s insurance, and subject to reasonable deductible amounts), or such other amount necessary to prevent Landlord from being a co-insured, and such other coverage as Landlord shall deem appropriate or that may be required by any Holder. Tenant agrees upon written request of Landlord, but not more frequently than one per calendar year, to increase the minimum limits of its respective insurance coverage described above from time to time as reasonably necessary in order to reasonably protect the interests of the parties hereto insured thereby, provided such increases are consistent with the increases of other landlords of comparable office building properties in the vicinity of the Complex.
Tenant shall provide Landlord with certificates evidencing such coverage (showing Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent, Landlord’s lender(s) as may exist from time to time, and any other person from time to time designated in writing by notice from Landlord to Tenant as additional insureds) prior to the Commencement Date, which shall state that such insurance coverage may not be changed or cancelled without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord, and shall provide renewal certificates to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of such policies. Except as provided to the contrary herein, any insurance carried by Landlord or Tenant shall be for the sole benefit of the party carrying such insurance. Any insurance policies hereunder may be “blanket policies” provided that the minimum limits of coverage required under thi s Article 11 are met. All insurance required hereunder shall be provided by responsible insurers and Tenant’s insurer shall be reasonably acceptable to Landlord. By this Article, Landlord and Tenant intend that their respective property loss risks shall be borne by responsible insurance carriers to the extent above provided, and Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to look solely to, and seek recovery only from, their respective insurance carriers in the event of a property loss to the extent that such coverage is agreed to be provided hereunder. The parties each hereby waive all rights and claims against each other for such losses, and waive all rights of subrogation of their respective insurers. The parties agree that their respective insurance policies are now, or shall be, endorsed such that said waiver of subrogation shall not affect the right of the insured to recover thereunder, so long as no material additional premium is charged therefor.
ARTICLE 12
Condemnation
If the whole or any material part of the Premises, the Building or the Complex shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be so taken or
15
condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such manner as to require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of any part of the Premises, the Building or the Complex, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days notice, provided such notice is given no later than ninety (90) days after the date of such taking, condemnation, reconfiguration, vacation, deed or other instrument. Tenant shall have reciprocal termination rights if the operation of Tenant’s business in the ordinary course as conducted immediately prior to the taking or access to the Premises is materially impaired, for the remainder of the Lease Term, as determined by Tenant in its commercially reasonable judgment. If neither condition exists, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as to the part of the Premises not condemned, except that as of the date title vests in such authority Tenant shall not be required to pay Base Rent and Additional Rent with respect to the part of the Premises condemned. All awards, damages and other compensation paid by such authority on account of such condemnation shall belong to Landlord, and Tenant assigns to Landlord all rights to such awards, damages and compensation. Tenant shall not make any claim against Landlord or the authority for any portion of such award, damages or compensation attributable to damage to the Premises, value of the unexpired portion of the Term, loss of profits or goodwill, leasehold improvements or severance damages. Nothing contained herein, however, shall prevent Tenant from pursuing a separate claim against the authority for the value of furnishings and trade fixtures installed in the Premises at Tenant’s expense and for relocation expenses, provided that such claim shall in no way diminish the aw ard, damages or compensation payable to or recoverable by Landlord in connection with such condemnation.
ARTICLE 13
Return of Possession
At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession to the Premises, Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises in the condition required under Article 9, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and shall surrender all keys, any key or access cards, and any parking stickers or cards, to Landlord, and advise Landlord as to the combination of any locks or vaults then remaining in the Premises, and shall remove all trade fixtures and personal property. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, all improvements, fixtures and other items in or upon the Premises (except trade fixtures, furniture, equipment and other personal property belonging to Tenant), whether installed by Tenant or Landlord, shall be Landlord’s property and shall remain upon the Premises, all without compensation, allowance or credit to Tenant. However, Tenant shal l promptly remove any items for which Landlord specifically required removal as a condition to the granting of its approval, provided, however, Landlord shall not require removal of customary office improvements installed by Tenant. If Tenant shall fail to perform any repairs or restoration, or fail to remove any items from the Premises or the Complex required hereunder, Landlord may do so, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof upon demand with interest at the Default Rate (as hereinafter defined) from the date funds are expended until reimbursement by Tenant. All property removed from the Premises or the Complex by Landlord pursuant to any provisions of this Lease or any Law may be handled or stored by Landlord at Tenant’s expense, and Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof. All property which is not removed from the Premises or which is not retaken from storage by Tenant within thirty (30) days after expiration or earlier termination of th is Lease or of Tenant’s right to possession to the Premises, shall at Landlord’s option be conclusively deemed to have been conveyed by Tenant to Landlord as if by bill of sale without payment by Landlord. Unless prohibited by applicable Law,
16
Landlord shall have a lien against such property for the costs incurred in removing and storing the same.
ARTICLE 14
Holding Over
Tenant shall have no right to occupy the Premises or any portion thereof after the Expiration Date or after termination of this Lease or of Tenant's right to possession pursuant to Article 22 hereof. If Tenant, or any party claiming by, through or under Tenant, does not immediately surrender the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, Tenant shall become a tenant by the month and the rent shall be increased to equal the greater of (a) fair market rent for the Premises, or (b) double the Base Rent, Additional Rent and other sums (plus applicable state and local sales and use taxes due thereon) that would have been payable pursuant to the provisions of this Lease if the Term of this Lease had continued during such holdover period (the “Applicable Rent”), together with all damages sustained by Landlord on account thereof. The Applicable R ent shall be computed on a monthly basis and shall be payable on the first day of such holdover period and the first day of each calendar month thereafter during such holdover period until the Premises have been vacated. In addition, at any time while Tenant remains in possession, Landlord may also elect, by written notice to Tenant and not otherwise, to have such retention of possession constitute an extension of this Lease for one (1) year at two hundred percent (200%) of the Applicable Rent. Landlord’s acceptance of such rent shall not constitute consent by Landlord to Tenant’s holdover possession and shall not in any manner adversely affect Landlord’s other rights and remedies, including Landlord’s right to evict Tenant and to recover damages. Landlord’s acceptance of such rent or any lesser sum shall be construed as a payment on account and not in satisfaction of damages for such holding over. In addition, Landlord may exercise any and all remedies available to it at law or in equity to recover possession of the Premises, and for damages.
ARTICLE 15
No Waiver
No provision of this Lease will be deemed waived by either party unless expressly waived in writing signed by the waiving party. No waiver shall be implied by delay or any other act or omission of either party. No waiver by either party of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed a waiver of such provision with respect to any subsequent matter relating to such provision, and Landlord’s consent or approval respecting any action by Tenant shall not constitute a waiver of the requirement for obtaining Landlord’s consent or approval respecting any subsequent action. Acceptance of Rent by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of any breach by Tenant of any term or provision of this Lease. No acceptance of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to receive the full amount due, nor shall any endorsement or state ment on any check or payment or any letter accompanying such check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the full amount due. The acceptance of Rent or of the performance of any other term or provision from any Person other than Tenant, including any Transferee, shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to approve any Transfer.
17
ARTICLE 16
Attorneys’ Fees and Jury Trial
(A)
In the event of any litigation between the parties, the prevailing party shall be entitled to obtain, as part of the judgment, all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with such litigation, except as may be limited by applicable Law.
(B)
Landlord and Tenant waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding, claim or counterclaim brought in connection with any matter arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the landlord-tenant relationship, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises or any claim of injury or damage. Tenant consents to service of process and any pleading relating to any such action at the Premises; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed as requiring such service at the Premises. Landlord and Tenant waive any objection to the venue of any action filed in any court situated in the jurisdiction in which the Building is located and waive any right under the doctrine of forum non conveniens or otherwise, to transfer any such action filed in any such court to any other court.
ARTICLE 17
Personal Property Taxes, Rent Taxes and Other Taxes
Tenant shall pay, within thirty (30) days of notice thereof, but in any event before delinquency, any personal property, business, rent or other taxes or fees that are now or hereafter levied, assessed or imposed upon Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, the conduct of Tenant’s business in the Premises or Tenant’s equipment, fixtures, furnishings, inventory or personal property. If any such tax or fee is enacted or altered so that such tax or fee is levied against Landlord or so that Landlord is responsible for collection or payment thereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent the amount of such tax or fee (plus applicable state and local sales and use taxes due thereon) within thirty (30) days of its having been assessed, but in no event in a fashion as to constitute a delinquency in the payment of such taxes, fees or assessments. Tenant shal l also promptly pay any sales or use tax or other local tax now or hereafter in existence that is imposed. Any sales or use taxes imposed on Rent shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord simultaneously with the monthly payment of Base Rent. All tax obligations hereunder shall be deemed Additional Rent.
ARTICLE 18
Subordination, Attornment and Mortgagee Protection
Subject to the provisions contained herein, this Lease is subject and subordinate to all Mortgages (as defined in Article 24) now or hereafter placed upon the Building or the Complex, provided such Mortgage holder shall agree to provide a non-disturbance instrument in customary form by which such Mortgage holder accepts this Lease and Tenant’s rights hereunder and shall not disturb Tenant’s quiet possession in the event of a foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, so long as Tenant does not default and fail to cure within the time permitted hereunder. If any foreclosure proceedings are initiated by any Holder or a deed in lieu is granted, Tenant agrees to attorn and pay Rent to any Holder which is a successor to Landlord hereunder or a purchaser at a foreclosure sale and to execute and deliver any instruments necessary or appropriate to evidence or effectuate su ch attornment (provided such Holder or purchaser shall agree to accept this Lease and not disturb Tenant’s occupancy, so long as
18
Tenant does not default and fail to cure within the time permitted hereunder). Any Holder may elect to make this Lease prior to the lien of its Mortgage, by written notice to Tenant, and if the Holder of any prior Mortgage shall require, this Lease shall be prior to any subordinate Mortgage. Tenant shall execute such documentation as Landlord may reasonably request from time to time, in order to confirm the matters set forth in this Article in recordable form. As long as any Mortgage is outstanding, Tenant agrees that Tenant shall not cancel, surrender, terminate, assign, amend or modify, or enter into any agreement to cancel, surrender, terminate, assign, amend or modify the Lease, without the prior written approval of such holder. A cancellation or surrender of this Lease without the prior written consent of the Holder (except as may be specifically contemplated under this Lease) which is in violation of the foregoing prohibition shall be voidable. In the event of any default on the part of Landlord arising out of or accruing under this Lease, whereby the validity or the continued existence of this Lease might be impaired or terminated by Tenant, or Tenant might have a claim for partial or total eviction or abatement of rent, Tenant shall not pursue any of its rights with respect to such default or claim, and no notice of termination of this Lease as a result of such default shall be effective, unless and until Tenant has given written notice of such default or claim to the applicable Holder simultaneously with its notice to Landlord (provided that Landlord has provided Tenant in writing with the appropriate notice address for such Holder) and granted to such Holder the period of time granted to Landlord under the Lease to cure or to undertake the elimination of the basis for such default or claim; it being expressly understood that such Holder’s right to cure any such default or claim sha ll not be deemed to create any obligation for such Holder to cure or to undertake the elimination of any such default or claim and will not toll any cure periods provided for under the Lease.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article 18, Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the Holder of the current Mortgage on the Complex, a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto and made a part hereof (“SNDA”) within thirty (30) days of the execution of this Agreement. If, notwithstanding Landlord’s commercially reasonable efforts to do so, Landlord is unable to obtain the SNDA by September 1, 2008, Tenant, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may terminate this Lease whereupon neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, provided that (i) Landlord shall promptly return any prepaid Rent and the Security Deposit to Tenant, and (ii) all provisions of this Lease which expressly survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms.
ARTICLE 19
Estoppel Certificate
Landlord and Tenant shall each from time to time (in such capacity, “Responding Party”), within ten (10) business days after written request from the other party (“Requesting Party’), execute, acknowledge and deliver a statement certifying that (i) this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease as so modified, is in full force and effect (or if this Lease is claimed not to be in force and effect, specifying the ground therefor) and any dates to which the Rent has been paid in advance, and the amount of monthly installments of Base Rent and Additional Rent, plus applicable state and local sales and use taxes due thereon, and any Security Deposit, (ii) there are not, to the Responding Party’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of the Requesting Party hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, (iii) Tenant is in possession of the Premises, if that is the case; (iv) the Responding Party has no off-sets or
19
defenses to the performance of its obligations under this Lease (or if the Responding Party believes there are any off-sets or defenses, a full and complete explanation thereof); (v) the Premises have been completed in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof or the Workletter, Tenant has accepted the Premises and the condition thereof and of all improvements thereto and has no claims against Landlord or any other party with respect thereto; and (vi) certifying as to such other matters as the Requesting Party may reasonably request, or as may be requested by the Requesting Party’s current or prospective Holders, insurance carriers, auditors, and prospective purchasers. Any such statement may be relied upon by any such parties. If the Responding Party shall fail to execute and return such statement within the time required herein, the Responding Party shall be deemed to have agreed with the matters set forth therein.
ARTICLE 20
Assignment and Subletting
(A)
Transfers. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, as further described below: (i) assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise, (ii) sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or (iii) permit the occupancy of the Premises by any Persons (as defined in Article 24) other than Tenant and its employees (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as “Transfers” and any Person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “Transferee”). If Tenant shall desire Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice shall include: (a) the proposed eff ective date (which shall not be less than thirty (30) nor more than one hundred and eighty (180) days after Tenant’s notice), (b) the portion of the Premises to be Transferred (herein called the “Subject Space”), (c) the terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, and (d) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, and any other information to enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility, character, and reputation of the proposed Transferee, nature of such Transferee’s business and proposed use of the Subject Space, and such other information as Landlord may reasonably require. If Landlord requests additional information, Tenant’s notice will not be deemed to have been received and Landlord may withhold consent to such Transfer until Landlord receives and has a reasonable op portunity to review such additional information. Any Transfer made without complying with this Article shall, at Landlord’s option, be null, void and of no effect, or shall constitute a Default under this Lease. Whether or not Landlord shall grant consent, Tenant shall pay $1,000.00 towards Landlord’s review and processing expenses, as well as any reasonable legal fees incurred by Landlord, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord.
(B)
Approval. Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in Tenant’s notice and will endeavor to respond to Tenant’s request (accompanied by all documentation required under Section 20(A) above) within fifteen (15) business days of submission. The parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable Law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following applies (without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent): (i) the Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Complex, or would be a significantly less prestigious occupant of the Complex than Tenant, (ii)
20
the Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease, (iii) the Subject Space is not regular in shape with appropriate means of ingress and egress suitable for normal renting purposes, (iv) the Transferee is either a government (or agency or instrumentality thereof) or an occupant of the Complex, (v) the proposed Transferee does not have a reasonable financial condition in relation to the obligations to be assumed in connection with the Transfer, (vi) Tenant has committed and failed to cure a Default at the time Tenant requests consent to the proposed Transfer, (vii) in the judgment of Landlord, such a Transfer would violate any term, condition, covenant, or agreement of the Landlord involving the Complex or any other tenant’s lease within it; or (viii) any other basis which Landlord reasonably deems appropriate. If Landlord wrongfully with holds its consent to any Transfer, Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy therefor shall be to seek specific performance of Landlord’s obligation to consent to such Transfer.
(C)
Transfer Premium. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, and as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any Transfer Premium derived by Tenant from such Transfer. “Transfer Premium” shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration paid by such Transferee in excess of the Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease (on a monthly basis during the Term, and on a per rentable square foot basis, if less than all of the Premises is transferred), after deducting therefrom (on a monthly basis) the reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant, amortized over the balance of the Term, for any changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises, any other economic concessions or services provided to the Transferee, and any customary brokerage commissions paid in connection with the Transfer if accep table written evidence of such expenditures is provided in advance to Landlord. If part of the consideration for such Transfer shall be payable other than in cash, Landlord’s share of such non-cash consideration shall be in such form as is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. The percentage of the Transfer Premium due Landlord hereunder shall be paid within ten (10) days after Tenant receives any Transfer Premium from the Transferee. The provisions of this Section 20(C) shall not be applicable to a Tenant Affiliate.
(D)
Recapture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice of any proposed Transfer, to recapture the Subject Space. Such recapture notice shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to the Subject Space as of the date stated in Tenant’s notice as the effective date of the proposed Transfer (or at Landlord’s option, shall cause the Transfer to be made to Landlord or its agent, in which case the parties shall execute the Transfer documentation promptly thereafter). If this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises, this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. The provisions of this Section 20(D) shall not be applicable to a Tenant Affiliate.
(E)
Terms of Consent. If Landlord consents to a Transfer: (a) any Transfer shall be made only if, and shall not be effective until, the Transferee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord whereby the Transferee shall assume the obligations of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed, (b) the terms and conditions of this Lease, including among other things, Tenant’s (or any Transferee’s) liability for the Subject Space, shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified and the original named Tenant (and any Transferee, as the case may be) shall remain fully liable for the payment of Rent and additional Rent and for the
21
other obligations of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed, (c) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee, (d) except as otherwise provided in this Lease, no Transferee shall succeed to any rights provided in this Lease to terminate this Lease prior to the Expiration Date, such right being deemed personal to Tenant, (e) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and (f) Tenant shall furnish upon Landlord’s request a complete statement, certified by an independent certified public accountant, or Tenant’s chief financial officer, setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer Premium Tenant has derived and shall derive from such Transfer. Landlord or its authorized r epresentatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof. If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall within thirty (30) days after demand pay the deficiency, and if understated by more than two percent (2%), Tenant shall pay Landlord’s costs of such audit. Any sublease hereunder shall be subordinate and subject to the provisions of this Lease, and if this Lease shall be terminated during the term of any sublease, Landlord shall have the right to: (i) treat such sublease as canceled and repossess the Subject Space by any lawful means, or (ii) require that such subtenant attorn to and recognize Landlord as its landlord under any such sublease. If Tenant shall Default and fail to cure within the time permitted for cure under Section 22(A), Landlord is hereby irrevocably authorized, as Tenant’s agent and attorney-in-fact, t o direct any Transferee to make all payments under or in connection with the Transfer directly to Landlord (which Landlord shall apply towards Tenant’s obligations under this Lease) until such Default is cured.
(F)
Certain Transfers. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Transfer” shall also include (a) if Tenant is a partnership or a limited liability company, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of a majority of the partners or members, as the case may be, or a transfer of a majority of partnership interests or membership interests, as the case may be, within a twelve month period, or the dissolution of the partnership or the limited liability company, as the case may be, and (b) if Tenant is a corporation whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through an exchange or over the counter, the dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, or within a twelve month period: (i) the sale or other transfer of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares of Tenant (other than to immediate fa mily members by reason of gift or death), (ii) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of Tenant’s net assets, or (iii) the issuance of shares by the corporation to any new shareholders, provided that any of the foregoing results in a change of a “control” of Tenant.
(G)
Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 20, Tenant may permit the Premises to be used by, or may sublease the Premises or assign this Lease to (i) Tenant’s parent company, (ii) any party which is wholly owned or controlled by Tenant of which owns or controls Tenants or which is owned by a company which owns of controls Tenant, or (iii) any party into which Tenant is merged, consolidated or reorganized, or to which all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets or stock are sold, without Landlord’s consent, provided: (a) Landlord shall receive a copy of the executed transfer document promptly after execution, (b) Tenant shall remain liable under this Lease, (c) the Transferee shall expressly assume and agree to perform all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, (d) Tenant is not then in Default beyond any applicable cur e period, and (e) the resulting Transferee, in the case of a party described in clause (G)(ii) above, shall have a net worth which is equal to, or greater than, the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such Transfer; such Transferee being herein referred to a “Tenant Affiliate”. No Tenant Affiliate who is an assignee shall further assign this
22
Lease and no Tenant Affiliate who is a sublessee shall assign or encumber its sublease or further sublet all or any part of the Premises to any Person other than to an entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant, except in accordance with the provisions of this Article 20 (other than this Section 20(G)) and any event resulting in such Tenant Affiliate ceasing to be an entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant shall be deemed to be a Transfer of this Lease requiring the prior consent of Landlord, and Tenant shall thereupon be required to comply with all provisions of this Article 20 (other than this Section 20(G)). For purposes of the immediately foregoing, “control,” means ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the issued and voting stock of a corporation, or membership interest of a limited liability company or the power to control the same, or general partnership control of a partnership. It is Landlord’s intent to permit assignment of this Lease and subletting pursuant to this Section 20(G) exclusively as an accommodation to the bona fide and legitimate business needs of Tenant, and notwithstanding the provisions hereof, no assignment of this Lease or sublease of the Premises without Landlord’s consent hereunder shall be permitted where the sole or primary purpose of such assignment or subletting is to Transfer this Lease or to permit occupancy of the Premises by a third party in avoidance of Landlord’s consent, or in the case of a purchase or other acquisition by any corporation or other entity of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets, where this Lease constitutes all or a substantial portion of such assets.
ARTICLE 21
Rights Reserved By Landlord
In connection with entering the Premises to exercise any of the rights reserved by Landlord under this Article 21, Landlord shall (a) provide reasonable advance written or oral notice to Tenant’s on-site manager or other appropriate person (except in emergencies, or for routine matters), and (b) take reasonable steps to minimize any interference with Tenant’s business. Except to the extent expressly limited by the provisions of this Article 21, Landlord reserves full rights to control the Complex (which rights may be exercised without subjecting Landlord to claims for constructive eviction, abatement of Rent, damages or other claims of any kind subject to the terms contained in the Lease), including more particularly, but without limitation, the following rights. Further, all such rights by Landlord shall be exercised by Landlord in a commercially reasonable manner as to not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s operation of its business or its access thereto:

(B)

If Tenant shall abandon the Premises at any time, or shall vacate the same during the last three (3) months of the Term, without, in either instance,
23
written notice of its intention to re-enter and resume operations in the Premises, upon prior written notice to Tenant, Landlord may decorate, remodel, repair, or alter the Premises.
(C)
To limit or prevent access to the Complex and the Building or any parts thereof, shut down elevator service, activate elevator emergency controls, or otherwise take such action or preventive measures deemed necessary by Landlord for the safety of tenants or other occupants of the Complex or the protection of the Complex and other property located thereon or therein, in case of fire, invasion, insurrection, riot, civil disorder, public excitement or other dangerous condition, or threat thereof.
(D)
To decorate and to make alterations, additions and improvements, structural or otherwise, in or to the Complex or any part thereof, including the Building, and to any adjacent building, structure, parking facility, land, street or alley (including without limitation changes and reductions in corridors, lobbies, toilets, stairs, parking facilities and other public areas and the installation of kiosks, planters, sculptures, displays, escalators, mezzanines, and other structures, facilities, amenities and features therein, and changes for the purpose of connection with or entrance into or use of the Building or the Complex in conjunction with any adjoining or adjacent building or buildings, now existing or hereafter constructed). In connection with such matters, or with any other repairs, maintenance, improvements or alterations, in or about the Building and the Complex, Landlor d may erect scaffolding and other structures reasonably required, and during such operations may enter upon the Premises and take into and upon or through the Premises, all materials required to make such repairs, maintenance, alterations or improvements, and may close public entry ways, other public areas, restrooms, stairways or corridors and Tenant agrees to pay Landlord for overtime and similar expenses incurred if such work is done other than during ordinary business hours at Tenant’s request.
(E)
To substitute for the Premises other premises (herein referred to as the “Relocation Premises”) at the Complex, subject to the following terms, conditions and qualifications: (i) the Relocation Premises shall be similar to the Premises in area, configuration and accessability, (ii) Landlord shall give Tenant prior written notice as early as practicable but in no event less than ninety (90) days before making such change, and the parties shall execute an amendment to the Lease confirming the change within thirty (30) days after either party shall request the same; (iii) if Tenant shall already have taken possession of the Premises: (a) Landlord shall pay reasonable expenses of Tenant in moving from the Premises to the Relocation Premises, including movers, electrical work, computer systems and wiring, reinstalling the Tenant’s personal property and equipment in the Relocation Premises, replacing stationery and business cards rendered unusable by such relocation, and improving the Relocation Premises so that they are substantially similar to the Premises in all material respects, including the quality of materials used in the initial build-out of the Premises, and, (b) such move shall be made during evenings, weekends, or otherwise so as to incur the least inconvenience to Tenant; and (iv) the relocation is necessary to accommodate either (a) an existing tenant of the Complex which leases a significant amount of space in the Complex and desires to lease additional space in the Complex and will require the leasing of the original Premises and the 6,500 square foot space also located on the 2nd floor of the Building to such existing tenant, or (b) a prospective tenant which desires to lease a significant amount of space in the Complex and will require the leasing of the original Premises and the 6,500 square foot space also located on the 2nd flo or of the Building to such prospective tenant; and (v) the abatement of Base Rent for the Relocation Premises for the first sixty (60) days of Tenant’s occupancy of the Relocation Premises, provided that Tenant shall continue to be obligated to pay Tenant’s Prorata Share of Taxes and Tenant’s Prorata Share of Expenses and all other charges under this Lease (exclusive of Base Rent) for such sixty (60) day period. Tenant waives
24
any claim for damages, abatement of Rent or loss of profits due to such relocation. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in connection with any relocation, including, without limitation, providing timely responses to any requests for review and approval of proposed plans for tenant improvements to the Relocation Premises. Upon the date of such relocation, the Relocation Premises shall become and be deemed the Premises hereunder and all the terms and conditions of this Lease shall be applicable to the Relocation Premises, including, without limitation, the right of Landlord to again relocate Tenant pursuant to this Section 21(E), but in no event more frequently than once every five (5) years during the Term, including any renewal or extension periods.
(F)
To install, use and maintain in and through the Premises pipes, conduits, wires, ducts or mechanical installations serving the Building or other parts of the Complex. Tenant agrees that there shall be no construction of partitions or other obstructions which might interfere with the moving or the servicing of equipment of Landlord to or from the enclosures containing such installations and Tenant further agrees that neither Tenant, nor its servants, employees, agents, visitors, licensees, or contractors shall at any time tamper with, adjust, or otherwise in any manner affect Landlord’s mechanical installations.

(J)
To re-determine the rentable square footage of the Premises, the Building or the Complex (or any part thereof) at any time during the Term by remeasuring the area thereof in accordance with the then current American National Standards Institute (“NASI”)/Building Owners and Managers Association International (“BOMA”) measurement standards so long as any such remeasurement shall not result in an increase or decrease in Base Rent as set forth in this Lease for the balance of the Term.
(K)
To grant to anyone the exclusive right to conduct any particular business in the Building not inconsistent with Tenant’s permitted use of the Premises.
(L)
Landlord reserves for itself the exclusive use of all portions of the roof of the Building and all interstitial space within the buildings and Complex. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may have reserved certain risers, pads, roof locations, and similar areas of the Building for lease to tenants who have in excess of building standard need for such areas.
(M)
From time-to-time and at any time, to test building equipment, including but not limited to, stand-by electric power equipment and facilities, and Landlord shall not be liable in the event of any temporary interruption of service arising from or relating to such testing.

ARTICLE 22
Landlord’s Remedies
(A)
Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a “Default” by Tenant if not cured within the applicable time permitted for cure specified below, and shall give rise to Landlord’s remedies set forth in Section 22(B), below: (i) failure by Tenant to make when due any payment of Rent, provided that, on up to two (2) occasions in any twelve (12) month period, there shall exist no Default unless Tenant shall have been given written notice of such failure and shall not have made the payment within five (5) days following the giving of such notice; (ii) failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the terms or conditions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant other than the payment of Rent, or as provided below, unless such failure is cured within thirty (30) days after notice [provided, if such an asserted defa ult is not reasonably subject to cure within said thirty (30) day period, and Tenant has commenced a cure within said original thirty (30) period that is reasonably calculated to effect the cure within a reasonable time, and Tenant continues to diligently prosecute the cure to completion, Tenant shall be granted an additional reasonable time to effect the cure to completion; (iii) failure by Tenant to comply with the Rules, unless such failure is cured within five (5) business days after notice (provided, if the nature of Tenant’s failure is such that more than five (5) business days time is reasonably required in order to cure, Tenant shall not be in Default if Tenant commences to cure within such period and thereafter diligently prosecutes a cure to completion); (iv) the failure to take possession of the Premises within sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date, whether or not Tenant thereafter continues to pay Rent due under this Lease; (v) any material misrepresentation herein, or material misrepr esentation or omission in any financial statements or other materials provided by Tenant in connection with negotiating or entering this Lease or in connection with any Transfer under Article 20; (vi) failure by Tenant to cure within any applicable times permitted thereunder any default under any other lease for space at the Complex or any other buildings owned or managed by Landlord or its affiliates, now or hereafter entered into by Tenant (and any Default hereunder not cured within the times permitted for cure herein shall, at Landlord’s election, constitute a default under any such other lease or leases). The notice and cure periods provided herein are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice and cure periods provided by Law.
(B)
Remedies. (i) If a Default occurs and is not cured within the applicable time permitted for cure under Section 22(A), Landlord shall have the rights and remedies set forth in this Article 22, which shall be distinct, separate and cumulative with and in addition to any other right or remedy allowed under any Law or other provisions of this Lease:
(a)
Terminate this Lease and Tenant's right of possession; or
(b)
Enter upon and take possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease.
In the event of Landlord's exercise of any of the foregoing rights and remedies, Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord. If Tenant fails to do so, Landlord, without waiving any other remedy it may have, may enter upon and take possession of the Premises
26
and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying such Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim of damages therefor. The provisions of this Article shall operate as a notice to quit, any other notice to quit or notice of Landlord's intention to re-enter the Premises being hereby expressly waived. No re-entry or taking of possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlord’s part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant or unless a termination of this Lease is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. If Landlord elects to either terminate this Lease or Tenant's right of possession, all obligations of Landlord under this Lease to be done and performed by Landlord shall cease, without prejudice, and Landlord shall have the right to recover from Tenant al l Rent and other sums accrued through the later to occur of (x) termination of this Lease, or (y) Landlord's recovery of possession of the Premises.
(ii) Whether or not this Lease is terminated, Tenant shall remain liable for Base Rent, Additional Rent and other Rent (plus applicable state and local sales and use taxes due thereon), and damages which may be due or sustained prior to such Default, all costs, fees, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, brokerage fees, and expenses incurred in placing the Premises in first-class rentable condition) incurred by Landlord in pursuit of its remedies and in renting the Premises to others from time to time. Tenant shall also be liable for additional damages (but in no event any consequential or punitive damages) which at Landlord’s election shall be either:
(a)
an amount equal to Base Rent, Additional Rent and other Rent (plus applicable state and local sales and use taxes due thereon) which would have become due during the remainder of the Term, less the amount of rental, if any, which Landlord receives during such period from others to whom the Premises may be rented (other than any rent payable as a result of any failure of such other person to perform any of its obligations), which damages shall be computed and payable in monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month following Tenant’s Default and continuing until the date on which the Term would have expired but for Tenant’s Default. Separate suits may be brought to collect any such damages for any month(s), and such suits shall not in any manner prejudice Landlord’s right to collect any such damages for any subsequent month(s), or La ndlord may defer any such suit until after the expiration of the Term, in which event the cause of action shall be deemed not to have accrued until the expiration of the Term; or
(b)
an amount equal to the present value (as of the date of the termination of this Lease) of the difference between (i) Base Rent, Additional Rent and other Rent (plus applicable state and local sales and use taxes due thereon), which would have become due during the remainder of the Term, and (ii) the fair market rental value of the Premises for the same period, which damages shall be payable to Landlord in one lump sum on demand. For purpose of this clause, present value shall be computed by discounting at a rate equal to two (2) whole percentage points above the discount rate then in effect at the Federal Reserve Bank nearest to the location of the Complex (or, if such rate is not reasonably available, such substitute rate as Landlord reasonably shall select).
(C)
Landlord’s Option To Re-let. Upon Landlord's election to re-enter, as herein provided, or to take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by Law, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) from time to time, with or without terminating this Lease, make such alterations and make such repairs as may be necessary in order to relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the Term of this Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon
27
such other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable. All such reletting shall be considered as on the account and for the benefit of Tenant and Tenant shall be in no way relieved of its obligations under this Lease as a result of such reletting and shall remain responsible for any deficiency arising therefrom through the end of the Term of this Lease. Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises and mitigate its damages in the event of a termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises. Upon each such reletting, all rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting, including brokerage fees and attorneys' fees and cost s of such alterations and repairs; third, to the payments of Rent due and unpaid hereunder, and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. If such rentals received from such reletting during any month shall be less than that to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder (after taking into account the foregoing application of such rentals), Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly.
(i)
Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination of this Lease, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous Default. If Landlord at any time terminates this Lease for any Default, in addition to any other remedies it may have, Landlord may recover from Tenant all damages Landlord may incur by reason of such Default (excluding any consequential or punitive damages), including the cost of recovering the Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees, and including the worth at the time of such termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of Rent and charges equivalent to Rent reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the stated Term over the then reasonable rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the Term, of which amounts shall be immediately due and payable from Tenant to Landlord. In determining the Rent which would be pay able by Tenant hereunder, subsequent to Default, the provisions of Section 22(B)(ii)(b) shall govern.
(D)
Specific Performance and Collection of Rent. Landlord shall at all times have the rights and remedies (which shall be cumulative with each other and cumulative and in addition to those rights and remedies available under Section 22(B) above or any Law or other provision of this Lease or at equity), without prior demand or notice except as required by applicable Law: (i) to seek any declaratory, injunctive or other equitable relief, and specifically enforce provisions of this Lease to the maximum extent permitted under applicable Law, or restrain or enjoin a violation or breach of any provision hereof, and (ii) to sue for and collect any unpaid Rent which has accrued. Any and all remedies set forth in this Lease: (i) shall be in addition to any and all other remedies Landlord may have at law or in equity, (ii) shall be cumulative, and (iii) may be pursued successively or concurrently as Landlord may elect. The exercise of any remedy by Landlord shall not be deemed an election of remedies or preclude Landlord from exercising any other remedies in the future.
(E)
Late Charges and Interest. Tenant shall pay, as additional Rent, a service charge of Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) for bookkeeping and administrative expenses, if Rent is not received within five (5) business days after its due date. In addition, any Rent paid more than five (5) business days after its due date shall accrue interest from the due date at the Default Rate until payment is received by Landlord, and Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge for any Rent payment which is paid more than five (5) days after its due date equal to five percent (5%) of such payment. Such service charge and interest payments shall not be deemed consent by Landlord to late payments, nor a waiver of Landlord’s right to insist upon timely payments at any time, nor a waiver of any remedies to which Landlord is entitled as a result of the late payment
28
of Rent. Landlord may cure, at any time, without notice except as otherwise herein provided, any Default by Tenant under this Lease; and whenever Landlord so elects, all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in curing such a Default, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, together with interest on the amount of costs and expenses so incurred at the Default Rate shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand, and shall be recoverable as Rent. Landlord's acceptance of Rent or any other payments due pursuant to this Lease, with knowledge by Landlord of any Default by Tenant under this Lease, or subsequent to issuance to Tenant of a demand to cure a Default under this Lease, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Landlord's right to demand cure of that Default, or to be a waiver of Landlord's right to proceed against Tenant for said Default.
(F)
Other Matters. No re-entry or repossession, repairs, changes, alterations and additions, reletting, acceptance of keys from Tenant, or any other action or omission by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, or accept a surrender of the Premises, nor shall the same operate to release the Tenant in whole or in part from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, unless express written notice of such intention is sent by Landlord or its agent to Tenant. Landlord shall be under no obligation to observe or perform any provision of this Lease on its part to be observed or performed which accrues after the date of any Default by Tenant hereunder not cured within the times permitted hereunder. The times set forth herein for the curing of Defaults by Tenant are of the essence of this Lease.
(G)
Landlord’s Lien. Tenant hereby acknowledges pursuant to Florida Statutes Sec.83.08 that Landlord shall have a landlord's lien for Rent and Additional Rent, as defined in this Lease, on all property of Tenant, or its subtenants or assigns, usually kept on the Premises and as to all other property of Tenant wherever located, subject to the priorities set forth in said statute.
ARTICLE 23
Landlord Default
If Landlord shall fail to perform any term or provision under this Lease required to be performed by Landlord, Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder nor subject to any claims for damages of any kind, unless such failure shall have continued for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Tenant; provided, if the nature of Landlord’s failure is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required in order to cure, Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences to cure such failure within such thirty (30) day period, and thereafter diligently prosecutes a cure to completion. The aforementioned periods of time permitted for Landlord to cure shall be extended for any period of time during which Landlord is delayed in, or prevented from, curing due to fire or other casualty, strikes, lock-outs or other labor troubles, shortag es of equipment or materials, governmental requirements, power shortages or outages, acts or omissions by Tenant or other Persons, and other causes beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. If Landlord shall fail to cure within the times permitted for cure herein, Landlord shall be in default of this Lease and Tenant shall have all rights and remedies under law, including the right to terminate this Lease if any such uncured default is of a material nature which deprives Tenant of its use and occupancy of the Premises other than on a temporary basis or to a de minimis extent. Further, in recognition that Landlord must receive timely payments of Rent in order to operate the Complex, Tenant shall have no right of self-help to perform repairs or any other obligation of Landlord, and shall have no right to withhold, set-off, or abate Rent except as otherwise provided herein. Tenant may offset against the Rent
29
otherwise due from Tenant under this Lease the amount of any final, non-appealable judgment entered against Landlord.

If any area within the Complex (or within the Building, as the case may be) available for lease is not fully occupied during all or a portion of any calendar year, Landlord may, in accordance with sound accounting and management practices, determine the amount of variable Operating Expenses (i.e. those items which vary according to occupancy levels) that would have been paid had such area been fully occupied, and the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been the amount of variable Operating Expenses for such year. If during all or any part of a Lease Year, Landlord does not furnish any particular item of work or service which would constitute an item of “Operating Expenses” to ninety- five percent (95%) of the Complex (or the Building, if Tenant’s Prorata Share is being determined on a Building basis) because less than all of the Complex (or the Building, if Tenant’s Prorata Share is being determined on a Building basis) is occupied, then an adjustment shall be made in computing Operating Expenses for such Lease Year (or partial Lease Year) so that Operating Expenses shall be increased for such Lease Year (or partial Lease Year) to the amount that reasonably would have been incurred had Landlord provided such item of work or service to ninety-five percent (95%) of the aggregate leaseable area of the Complex (or the Building, if Tenant’s Prorata Share is being determined on a Building basis) for the entire Lease Year (or partial Lease Year).

In the alternative, Landlord may elect to determine Operating Expenses on the basis of, or in connection with, the ownership, management, repair, maintenance, replacement, restoration, leasing and operation of the Building, but taking into account and allocating to the Building all expenses, costs and disbursements paid or incurred by Landlord in connection with the Complex generally including all other areas and improvements, in addition to the Building, which may be provided by Landlord for the general use in common of the tenants of the Complex and their respective officers, agents, employees, invitees and customers and for the servicing of the Complex. Landlord reserves the right to determine Tenant’s Prorata Share of Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Prorata Share of Taxes on the basis of the ratio of the rentable square footage of the Premises to the rentable square footage of th e Building as opposed to the ratio of the rentable square footage of the Premises to the rentable square footage of the Complex, as further described in Section 24(T) below.
(Q)
“Person” shall mean an individual, trust, partnership, joint venture, association, corporation, and any other entity.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be excluded from Taxes all excess profits taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, federal and state income taxes, and other taxes to the extent applicable to Landlord’s general or net income (as opposed to rents, receipts or income attributable to operations at the Complex or the Building, as the case may be); provided, however, if a tax or excise on income is levied or assessed by any governmental entity, in lieu of or as a substitute for, in whole or in part, real estate taxes or other ad valorem taxes, any such tax or excise shall constitute and be included within the term “Taxes.” If the method of taxation of real estate prevailing at the time of exe cution hereof shall be, or has been altered, so as to cause the whole or any part of the taxes now, hereafter or heretofore levied, assessed or imposed on real estate to be levied, assessed or imposed on Landlord or any ground lessor, wholly or partially, as a capital levy or otherwise, or on or measured by the rents or other revenue received therefrom, then such new or altered taxes attributable to the Complex (or the Building, as the case may be) shall be included within the term “Taxes,” except that the same shall not include any enhancement of said tax attributable to other income of Landlord. Any expenses incurred by Landlord or any ground lessor in attempting to protest, reduce or minimize Taxes shall be included in Taxes in the calendar year such expenses are paid. Tax refunds shall be deducted from Taxes in the year they are received by Landlord, but if such refund shall relate to Taxes paid in a prior year of the Term, and the Lease shall have expired, Landlord shall mail Tenant’s Pro rata Share of such net refund (after deducting expenses and attorneys’ fees), up to the amount Tenant paid towards Taxes during such year, to Tenant’s last known address. If Taxes for any period during the Term or any extension thereof, shall be increased after payment thereof by Landlord, for any reason, including, without limitation, error or reassessment by applicable governmental or municipal authorities, Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand Tenant’s Prorata Share of such increased Taxes plus applicable state and local sales and use taxes thereon. Tenant shall pay increased Taxes whether Taxes are increased as a result of increases in the assessments or valuation of the Complex or of the Building (as the case may be) (whether based on a sale, change in ownership or refinancing of the Complex, or the Building, as the case may be, or otherwise) increases in the tax rates, reduction or elimination of any rollbacks or other deductions available under current law, scheduled reductions of any t ax abatement, as a result of the elimination, invalidity or withdrawal of any tax abatement, or for any other cause whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Taxes shall be paid based on assessments or bills by a governmental or municipal authority using a fiscal year other than a calendar year, Landlord may elect to average the assessments or bills for the subject calendar year, based on the number of months of such calendar year included in each such assessment or bill.
35
(U)
“Tenant’s Prorata Share” of Taxes and Operating Expenses is currently1.176% and is determined by dividing the rentable square footage of the Premises by the rentable square footage of the Complex on the last day of the calendar year for which Taxes or Operating Expenses are being determined (the rentable square footage of the Complex being one million six hundred twelve thousand seven hundred thirty-nine (1,612,739)] square feet as of April 1, 2007. Tenant acknowledges that “rentable square footage of the Premises” has been determined under this Lease by measuring from the outside of the exterior walls to the middle of all common walls and multiplying such measurement by a factor of 1.15. At Landlord’s election, the “rentable square footage of the Premises” and the “rentable square footage of the Complex 48; shall be measured and determined in accordance with ANSI/BOMA Form Z65.1-1996. The “rentable square footage of the Complex” shall include all rentable square footage of all office space leased or available for lease at the Complex as may be reasonably re-determined from time to time by Landlord in accordance with sound accounting and management principles. Landlord shall have the right to determine, in accordance with sound accounting and management principles, Tenant’s Prorata Share of Taxes and Tenant’s Prorata Share of Operating Expenses for all space leased or available for lease at the Complex, in which event, Tenant’s Prorata Share shall be based on the ratio of the rentable square footage of the Premises to the rentable square footage of all space leased or available for lease at the Complex. Similarly, if the Complex or any development of which it is a part shall contain tenants who do not participate in all or certain categories of Taxes or Operating Expenses on a p rorata basis, Landlord may include or exclude, in accordance with sound accounting and management principles, the amount of Taxes or Operating Expenses, or such categories of the same, as the case may be, attributable to such tenants, and include or exclude the rentable square footage of their premises (as the case may be), in computing the rentable square footage of the Complex. Landlord may allocate Taxes and Operating Expenses within the Complex or any development of which it is a part, and between the buildings and structures therein and the parcels on which they are located, in accordance with sound accounting and management principles. In the alternative, Landlord shall have the right to determine, in accordance with sound accounting and management principles, Tenant’s Prorata Share of Taxes and Operating Expenses based upon the rentable square footage of the Building (or on the office portion of the Building, as the case may be), in which event Tenant’s Prorata Share shall be based on the ra tio of the rentable square footage of the Premises (or on the office portion of the Building, as the case may be) to the rentable square footage of the Building. In such event, the “rentable square footage of the Building” shall include all rentable square footage of all space leased or available for lease at the Building (or on the office portion of the Building, as the case may be) as may be reasonably re-determined from time to time by Landlord in accordance with sound accounting and management principles. Landlord shall have the right to determine, in accordance with sound accounting and management principles, Tenant’s Prorata Share of Taxes and Tenant’s Prorata Share of Operating Expenses for only the office portion of the Building, in which event, Tenant’s Prorata Share shall be based on the ratio of the rentable square footage of the Premises to the rentable square footage of such office portion. Similarly, if the Building or any development of which it is a part shall contain tenants who do not participate in all or certain categories of Taxes or Operating Expenses on a prorata basis, Landlord may include or exclude, in accordance with sound accounting and management principles, the amount of Taxes or Operating Expenses, or such categories of the same, as the case may be, attributable to such tenants, and include or exclude the rentable square footage of their premises (as the case may be), in computing the rentable square footage of the Building.

Tenant agrees to cooperate in any reasonable safety or security program developed by Landlord or required by Law.
Landlord and Tenant recognize the existence of certain social or political problems (including domestic or international threats or acts of violence, terrorism, and war) which have created, or may create, the necessity for employment of extreme security measures in the day-to-day operation of the Building and the Complex. Tenant agrees to cooperate in any security measures instituted by Landlord, required by Law, or otherwise recommended by law enforcement or other governmental officials in response to such social or political problems.

Expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the development, implementation and provision of such security measures shall be included in Operating Expenses. The exercise of such security measures by Landlord and the resulting interruption of service to, or cessation or diminution of Tenant’s business, if any, shall never be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises, or any part thereof, or render Landlord liable to Tenant for any resulting damages or relieve Tenant from Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
ARTICLE 28

Tenant may install, maintain, replace, remove or use any communications or computer wires, cables and related electronic signal transmission devices (collectively the “Lines”) at the Building which are located in or serving the Premises, provided: (a) Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior written consent, use an experienced and qualified contractor approved in writing by Landlord, and comply with all of the other provisions of Article 8, (b) any such installation, maintenance, replacement, removal or use shall comply with all Laws applicable thereto and good work practices, and shall not interfere with the use of any then existing Lines at the Complex, (c) an acceptable number of spare Lines and space for additional Lines shall be maintained for existing and future occupants of the Complex, as determined in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, (d) if Tenant at an y time uses any equipment that may create an electromagnetic field exceeding the normal insulation ratings of ordinary twisted pair riser cable or cause radiation higher than normal background radiation, the Lines therefor (including riser cables) shall be appropriately insulated to prevent such excessive electromagnetic fields or radiation, (e) as a condition to permitting the installation of new Lines, Landlord may require that Tenant remove existing Lines located in or serving the Premises, (f) Tenant’s rights shall be
38
subject to the rights of any regulated telephone company, and (g) Tenant shall pay all costs in connection therewith. Landlord reserves the right to require that Tenant remove any Lines located in or serving the Premises which are installed in violation of these provisions, or which are at any time in violation of any Laws or represent a dangerous or potentially dangerous condition provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Tenant shall not be responsible to remove any Lines installed by any party other than Tenant.
Landlord may (but shall not have the obligation to): (i) install new Lines at the Complex, (ii) create additional space for Lines at the Complex, and (iii) reasonably direct, monitor or supervise the installation, maintenance, replacement and removal of, the allocation and periodic re-allocation of available space (if any) for, and the allocation of excess capacity (if any) on, any Lines now or hereafter installed at the Complex or the Building, as the case may be, by Landlord, Tenant or any other party (but Landlord shall have no right to monitor or control the information transmitted through such Lines). Such rights shall not be in limitation of other rights that may be available to Landlord by Law or otherwise. If Landlord exercises any such rights, Landlord may charge Tenant for the costs attributable to Tenant, or may include those costs and all other costs in Operating Expenses under Article 24 (including without limitation, costs for acquiring and installing Lines and risers to accommodate new Lines and spare Lines, any associated computerized system and software for maintaining records of Line connections, and the fees of any consulting engineers and other experts); provided, any capital expenditures included in Operating Expenses hereunder shall be amortized (together with reasonable finance charges) over the period of time prescribed by Article 24.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article 13, Landlord reserves the right to require that Tenant remove any or all Lines installed by or for Tenant within or serving the Premises upon termination of this Lease, provided Landlord so notifies Tenant within thirty (30) days following the Commencement Date. Any Lines not required to be removed pursuant to this Article shall, at Landlord’s option, become the property of Landlord (without payment by Landlord). If Tenant fails to remove such Lines as required by Landlord, or violates any other provision of this Article, Landlord may, after twenty (20) days written notice to Tenant, remove such Lines or remedy such other violation, at Tenant’s expense (without limiting Landlord’s other remedies available under this Lease or applicable Law). Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Land lord in each instance, grant to any third party a security interest or lien in or on the Lines, and any such security interest or lien granted without Landlord’s written consent shall be null and void. Except to the extent arising from the intentional misconduct or grossly negligent acts of Landlord or Landlord’s agents or employees, Landlord shall have no liability for damages arising from, and Landlord does not warrant that the Tenant’s use of any Lines will be free from the following (collectively, the “Line Problems”): (x) any eavesdropping or wire-tapping by unauthorized parties, (y) any failure of any Lines to satisfy Tenant’s requirements, or (z) any shortages, failures, variations, interruptions, disconnections, loss or damage caused by the installation, maintenance, replacement, use or removal of Lines by or for other tenants or occupants at the Complex, by any failure of the environmental conditions or the power supply for the Complex to conform to any requirements for the Lines or any associated equipment, or any other problems associated with any Lines by any other cause. Under no circumstances shall any Line Problems not within the reasonable control of Landlord be deemed an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, render Landlord liable to Tenant for abatement of Rent, or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord in no event shall be liable for damages by reason of loss of profits, business interruption or other consequential damage arising from any Line Problems not within the reasonable control of Landlord.

However, the foregoing provisions shall not prohibit the transportation to and from, and use, storage, maintenance and handling within, the Premises of substances customarily used in offices (or such other business or activity expressly permitted to be undertaken in the Premises under Article 6), provided: (a) such substances shall be used and maintained only in such quantities as are reasonably necessary for such permitted use of the Premises, strictly in accordance with applicable Law and the manufacturers’ instructions therefor, (b) s uch substances shall not be disposed of, released or discharged on the Complex, and shall be transported to and from the Premises in compliance with all applicable Laws, and as Landlord shall reasonably require, (c) if any applicable Law or Landlord’s trash removal contractor requires that any such substances be disposed of separately from ordinary trash, Tenant shall make arrangements at Tenant’s expense for such disposal directly with a qualified and licensed disposal company at a lawful disposal site (subject to scheduling and approval by Landlord), and shall ensure that disposal occurs frequently enough to prevent unnecessary storage of such substances in the Premises, and (d) any remaining such substances shall be completely, properly and lawfully removed from the Complex upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord free of Hazardous Materials caused by Tenant or by anyone for whom Tenant is legally responsible, except to the extent any Hazardous Materials or violation of Environmental Laws was caused by the conduct or actions of Landlord or its agents or employees or from any other party other than Tenant, its agents or employees or anyone for whom Tenant is legally responsible.
(B)
Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of: (i) any enforcement, cleanup or other regulatory action taken or threatened by any governmental or regulatory authority with respect to the presence of any Hazardous Material on the Premises caused by Tenant or by anyone for whom Tenant is legally responsible, or the migration thereof from or to other property, (ii) any demands or claims made or threatened by any party against Tenant or the Premises relating to any loss or injury resulting from any Hazardous Material, (iii) any release, discharge or non-routine, improper or unlawful disposal or transportation of any Hazardous Material on or from the Premises by Tenant or by anyone for whom Tenant is legally responsible, and (iv) any matters where Tenant is required by Law to give a notice to any governmental or regulatory authority respecting any Hazardous Material on the Premises. La ndlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to join and participate as a party in any legal proceedings or actions affecting the Premises initiated in connection with any Environmental Law. At such times as Landlord may reasonably request, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a written list identifying any Hazardous Material then used, stored, or maintained upon the Premises, the use and approximate quantity of each such material, a copy of any material safety data sheet (“MSDS”) issued by the manufacturer therefor, written information concerning the removal, transportation and disposal of the same, and such other information as Landlord may reasonably require or as may be required by Law.
(C)
If any Hazardous Material is released, discharged or disposed of by Tenant or any other occupant of the Premises, or their employees, agents or contractors, on or about the Complex in violation of the foregoing provisions, Tenant shall immediately, properly and in
40
compliance with applicable Laws clean up and remove the Hazardous Material from the Complex and any other affected property and clean or replace any affected personal property (whether or not owned by Landlord), at Tenant’s expense. Such clean up and removal work shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval (except in emergencies), and shall include, without limitation, any testing, investigation, and the preparation and implementation of any remedial action plan required by any governmental body having jurisdiction or reasonably required by Landlord. If Tenant shall fail to comply with the provisions of this Article within five (5) days after written notice by Landlord, or such shorter time as may be required by Law or in order to minimize any hazard to Persons or property, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) arrange for such compliance directly or as Tenant’s agent through contractors or other parties selected by Landlord, at Tenant’s expense (without limiting Landlord’s other remedies under this Lease or applicable Law). The provisions of this Article 29 will survive the termination or expiration of this Lease, and any renewals, extensions or expansions thereof.
(D)
Landlord has no actual knowledge of any violation of Environmental Laws relating to the presence of Hazardous Material in, on, or under the Premises. Tenant shall not be responsible for Hazardous Materials introduced by Landlord or by any other tenant or occupant of the Complex in violation of Environmental Laws.

(Z)

If Landlord is advised by its counsel at any time that any part of the payments by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease may be characterized as unrelated business income under the United States Internal Revenue Code and its regulations, then Tenant shall enter into any amendment proposed by Landlord to avoid such income, so long as the amendment does not require Tenant to make more payments or accept fewer services from Landlord, than this Lease provides.

ARTICLE 33
Real Estate Brokers
Tenant and Landlord each represent that it has dealt only with CB Richard Ellis (whose commission, if any, shall be paid by Landlord pursuant to separate agreement) as brokers, agents or finder in connection with this Lease and each party agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless from all damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from any claims or demands of any other broker, agent or finder with whom such party has dealt for any commission or fee alleged to be due in connection with its participation in the procurement of Tenant or the negotiation with Tenant of this Lease.
ARTICLE 34
Security Deposit
Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the sum of $200,000.00 (“Security Deposit”) no later than one (1) business day after the full execution and delivery of this Lease by both parties. The Security Deposit shall serve as security for the prompt, full and faithful performance by Tenant of the terms and provisions of this Lease. In the event that Tenant is in Default hereunder and fails to cure within any applicable time permitted under this Lease, or in the event that Tenant owes any amounts to Landlord upon the expiration of this Lease, then following written notice and a 3-business day cure period, Landlord may use or apply the whole or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. The use or application of the Security Deposit or any portion thereof shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other
47
right or remedy provided hereunder or under any Law and shall not be construed as liquidated damages. In the event the Security Deposit is reduced by such use or application, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord within three (3) business days after written notice, an amount sufficient to restore the full amount of the Security Deposit. Except as may be required by Law, Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from Landlord’s general funds or pay interest on the Security Deposit. In no event shall the Security Deposit be considered an advanced payment of Rent, and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to use the Security Deposit for the payment of Rent. Any remaining portion of the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant within sixty (60) days after Tenant has vacated the Premises in accordance with Article 13. If the Premises shall be expanded at any time, or if the Term shall be extended at an increased rate of Rent, the Security Deposit shall thereupon be proportionately increased. Landlord shall transfer the unused portion of the Security Deposit, if any, to any purchaser of the Building. Upon such transfer, Tenant shall look solely to such purchaser for return of the Security Deposit; and Landlord shall be relieved of any liability with respect to the Security Deposit. The holder of any Mortgage shall not be liable for the return of the Security Deposit unless such Mortgage holder actually receives the Security Deposit.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Default on the part of Tenant shall exist under this Lease, which remains uncured beyond any applicable cure period, the Security Deposit in the original amount of $200,000 shall be reduced by $50,000 after the expiration of each of the third, fourth and fifth Lease Years with $50,000 remaining as the Security Deposit under this Lease from and after the sixth Lease Year. Each reduction shall occur and the amount of the Security Deposit so reduced shall be refunded to Tenant upon the later to occur of: (i) thirty (30) days following Tenant’s written request to Landlord following the expiration of the third, fourth and fifth Lease years, or (ii) sixty (60) days following the expiration of the third, fourth and fifth Lease Years.
ARTICLE 35
Option to Extend
Tenant, its successors and permitted assigns, are hereby granted the option (“Extension Option”) to extend the term of this Lease for one (1) additional period of five (5) Lease Years (“Extension Term”). The Extension Option shall only be exercised with respect to the entire Premises then being leased. Tenant shall exercise the Extension Option by giving irrevocable and unconditional written notice to Landlord not less than two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the Expiration Date. If Tenant fails to give written notice to Landlord within such time period, then the Extension Option shall be null and void and of no further force or effect. Tenant’s right to exercise the Extension Option shall be subject to the conditions that, at the time of the exercise of the Extension Option and at the commencement of the Extension Term, (i) this Lease shall be in full force and effect and (ii) no Default on the part of Tenant shall exist under this Lease which has remained uncured beyond any applicable time period. Upon exercise of the Extension Option, all references in this Lease to the Term shall be deemed to be references to the Term as extended by the Extension Term. The term “Lease Year” as used in this Article 35 means each twelve (12) month period, commencing with the first day of the Extension Term, without regard to calendar years.
The Extension Term shall be on the same terms and conditions as are contained in this Lease, except that (i) there will be no additional extension option, (ii) Base Rent applicable to the Premises for the Extension Term shall be determined as provided below, plus applicable state and local sales and use taxes due thereon, and (iii) any initial rent abatement or
48
allowances which are in the nature of economic concessions or inducements shall not be applicable to the Extension Term. In addition to Base Rent, Tenant shall pay Additional Rent and other Rent plus applicable state and local sales and use taxes due thereon, during the Extension Term as provided in this Lease. With respect to the time frames set forth herein, time is of the essence.
Base Rent per annum per rentable square foot of the Premises during the Extension Term shall be the Current Market Rate for lease terms commencing on or about the date of commencement of the Extension Term. The term “Current Market Rate” means the prevailing net rental rate per rentable square foot under office leases recently executed for comparable space in the Complex and in comparable buildings in the area in which the Complex is located. The determination of Current Market Rate shall take into consideration that this is a net lease; any differences in definitions of rentable square feet or rentable area with respect to which rental rates are computed; the value of rent abatements, allowance (for demolition, space planning, architectural and engineering fees, construction, moving expenses or other purposes), the creditworthiness of Tenant; and other pertinent fa ctors. The Current Market Rate may include an escalation of a fixed net rental rate (based on a fixed step or index) then prevailing in the market.
Within ten (10) days of receiving Tenant’s notice of the exercise of the Extension Option, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of Landlord’s determination of the Current Market Rate for such Extension Term and the basis for such determination. If Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination of the Current Market Rate, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith and attempt to agree on the Current Market Rate. If the parties do not so agree on the Current Market Rate within ten (10) days of the date of Landlord’s notice, Landlord and Tenant shall submit the determination of Current Market Rate to binding arbitration unless the parties otherwise mutually agree in their respective sole discretion. In such event, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree on an arbitrator within ten (10) days after the notice of such election. If they fail, after good fa ith efforts, to agree on an arbitrator within such ten (10) day period, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint a fit and impartial person as arbitrator who shall have had at least ten (10) years’ active and current experience in the commercial real estate industry and the Boca Raton, Florida leasing market. Such an appointment shall be signified in writing by each party to the other. The arbitrators so appointed shall appoint a third arbitrator who shall have had at least ten (10) years’ active and current experience in the commercial real estate industry and the Boca Raton, Florida leasing market within ten (10) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator. In the case of the failure of such arbitrators to agree upon a third arbitrator, such third arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association, or its successor, from its qualified panel of arbitrators, and shall be a person having at least ten (10) years’ active and current experience in the commercial real estat e industry and the Boca Raton, Florida office leasing market. In the case either party shall fail to appoint an arbitrator within a period of ten (10) days after written notice from the other party to take such appointment, then the American Arbitration Association shall appoint an arbitrator having at least ten (10) years’ active and current experience in the commercial real estate industry and the Boca Raton, Florida office leasing market for the failing party. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall furnish each of the three arbitrators with a copy of their respective final determination of Base Rent pursuant to this Section.
The third arbitrator shall proceed with all reasonable dispatch to determine Current Market Rent, provided, however, that in determining the Current Market Rate such arbitrator shall only be entitled to select either Landlord’s final determination of Current Market Rate or Tenant’s final determination of Current Market Rate, and in no event shall the arbitrator have the
49
right (i) to average the final determination of Current Market Rate of Landlord or Tenant or (ii) to choose another amount. The decision of such arbitrator shall in any event be rendered within thirty (30) days after his/her appointment, or within such other period as the parties shall agree, and such decision shall be in writing and in duplicate, one counterpart thereof to be delivered to each of the parties. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (or its successor) and applicable Law and this Article, which shall govern to the extent of any conflict between this Article and the rules of the American Arbitration Association and the decision of the third arbitrator shall be reviewable only to the extent provided by the rules of the American Arbitration Association and shall be otherwise be binding, final and conclusive on the par ties. Each party shall pay the fees of the arbitrator it chose or was chosen for it by the American Arbitration Association and the fees of its counsel and the party whose final determination was not selected as the Current Market Rent shall pay for the fees of the third arbitrator and the reasonable and necessary expenses incident to the proceedings.
If Tenant exercises the Extension Option provided here, Landlord shall prepare an amendment to this Lease (the “Extension Amendment”) reflecting the changes in the Base Rent, Term and Expiration Date. A copy of the Extension Amendment shall be (i) sent to Tenant within a reasonable time after receipt of Tenant’s notice exercising the Extension Option and the determination of Current Market Rate, and (ii) executed by Tenant and Landlord and delivered to each other within ten (10) business days thereafter, but otherwise valid exercise of the Extension Option contained herein shall, at Landlord’s option, be fully effective whether or not the Extension Amendment is executed.
If Tenant fails to exercise the Extension Option provided herein, the Extension Option shall terminate, and shall be null and void and of no further force and effect. Tenant’s exercise of the Extension Option shall not operate to cure any Default by Tenant of any terms or provisions of this Lease, nor to extinguish or impair any rights or remedies of Landlord arising by virtue of such Default. If this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises shall terminate in any manner whatsoever before Tenant shall exercise the option herein provided, then immediately upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing, the Extension Option herein granted to extend the Term with respect to the Premises, shall simultaneously terminate and become null and void. Under no circumstances whatsoever shall any sublessee have any right to exercise the Extension Option granted herein.
ARTICLE 36
Right of First Offer
(A)
If, at any time during the Term, Landlord shall desire to lease any office space on the second (2nd) floor of the Building adjacent and contiguous to the Premises (any such space is herein referred to as a “Right of First Offer Space”) to a third party other than the existing tenant or occupant of any such space, Landlord shall first give Tenant notice (“Landlord’s ROFO Notice”) of the Right of First Offer Space which Landlord desires to lease, Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rental Value of such space, the date such space is expected to be available, and the other economic and business terms and conditions upon which Landlord is willing to lease such Right of First Offer Space to Tenant. The lease term of such Right of First Offer Space shall be coterminous with the Term of the Lease if at least sixty (60) months remain in the current Term of the Lease and, if exercised, any Renewal Term of the Lease. Provided that (x) this Lease shall be in full force and effect, and (y) Tenant is not in Default under this Lease after written notice and the expiration of the applicable cure period,

Tenant shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to Landlord within ten (10) business days of the date of receipt of Landlord’s ROFO Notice (“ROFO Exercise Period”), the time of the giving of such notice being of the essence of this Article, to lease the Right of First Offer Space specified in Landlord’s ROFO Notice upon the terms and conditions contained therein; provided, however, that if Tenant objects to Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Rental Value as stated in Landlord’s ROFO Notice, Tenant shall include in Tenant’s exercise notice Tenant’s determination of Fair Market Rental Value. In the event that Tenant fails to exercise its right as aforesaid within said ten (10) business days of the date of receipt of Landlord’s ROFO Notice, then, except to the extent set forth in Section 36(E) below, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its rights under this Article with respect to the Right of First Offer Space described in Landlord’s ROFO Notice, Landlord shall have the absolute right to lease the Right of First Offer Space specified in Landlord’s ROFO Notice to any other person or entity, and Tenant shall have no further rights with respect to such Right of First Offer Space, except as otherwise provided herein.
(B)
In the event that Tenant validly exercises its right to lease the Right of First Offer Space described in Landlord’s ROFO Notice, but Landlord and Tenant do not agree upon the Fair Market Rental Value of the Right of First Offer Space that is the subject of Landlord’s ROFO Notice, then each party’s determinations of Fair Market Rental Value, as indicated in Landlord’s ROFO Notice and in Tenant’s exercise notice, shall become their respective Estimates of Fair Market Rental Value and the parties shall proceed to determine Fair Market Rental Value through the use of designated brokers and the process set forth in accordance with Article 35. Tenant agrees to accept the Right of First Offer Space “as is” without any agreements, representations, understandings or obligations on the part of Landlord to perform any alterations, repairs or improveme nts and no representations regarding the condition of the Right of First Offer Space have been made to Tenant by or on behalf of Landlord. Except as otherwise provided in this Section and in the Landlord’s ROFO Notice, the Right of First Offer Space described in Landlord’s ROFO Notice shall be leased upon the same terms and conditions in effect under this Lease, as may be amended from time to time, including the payment of Tenant’s Prorata Share of Taxes and Operating Expenses, and other Rent and charges applicable to the Right of First Offer Space as provided in this Lease (it being understood that any economic concessions or inducements, applicable to the Premises, including without limitation, any Rent abatement or any tenant improvement or construction allowances, shall not be applicable to the Right of First Offer Space).
(C)
Upon determination of the Fair Market Rental Value, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment of the Lease acceptable to Landlord providing for (a) the inclusion of such Right of First Offer Space in the Premises, (b) the specification of Base Rent applicable to the Right of First Offer Space, and (c) a modification of the definition of Tenant’s Prorata Share to accurately represent the percentage that the rentable area of the Premises, together with the rentable area of such Right of First Offer Space, bears to the total rentable area of the Complex. A copy of such amendment shall be (i) sent to Tenant within a reasonable time after determination of the Fair Market Rental Value, and (ii) executed by Tenant and Landlord and delivered to each other within ten (10) business days thereafter, but an otherwise valid exercise of the option contained herein shall, at Landlord’s option, be fully effective whether or not any such amendment is executed.
(D)
The commencement date of any Right of First Offer Space shall be delayed and Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent with respect to such Right of First Offer Space shall be postponed if Landlord fails to deliver possession of such Right of First Offer Space to Tenant by the date (i) set forth in the applicable Landlord’s ROFO Notice or (ii) by the date otherwise
51
agreed to in writing by the parties (such date being the, in each instance, the “First Offer Space Commencement Date”) for any reason, including but not limited to holding over by any tenant or occupants of such space. Any delay in the commencement date of any Right of First Offer Space shall not subject Landlord to any liability for loss or damage resulting therefrom, and Tenant’s sole remedy and recourse with respect thereto shall be the postponement of Rent with respect to such Right of First Offer Space and shall constitute full settlement of all claims that Tenant might otherwise have against Landlord by reason of such space not being ready for possession by Tenant on the First Offer Space Commencement Date.
(E)
Tenant’s election to lease any Right of First Offer Space pursuant to the Right of First Offer set forth herein shall not operate to cure any default by Tenant of any of the terms or provisions in the Lease, nor to extinguish or impair any rights or remedies of Landlord arising by virtue of such default. Under no circumstances whatsoever shall any sublessee of Tenant have any right to exercise the Right of First Offer. Tenant’s rights under this Section shall terminate if (i) this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises is terminated, or (ii) Tenant fails to timely exercise the Right of First Offer as provided under this Section, time being of the essence with respect to Tenant’s exercise of the Right of First Offer and with respect to all other time frames set forth in this Section. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in th e event that any portion of the Right of First Offer Space becomes available during the last year of the Term, Tenant may not exercise its Right of First Offer unless it simultaneously exercises (or previously exercised, as the case may be) its Extension Option set forth in this Lease and Tenant’s rights under this Section shall terminate if less than eighteen (18) months remain in the Extension Term, if exercised.
ARTICLE 37
Termination Option
Landlord grants to Tenant the option to terminate the Lease (“Termination Option”), effective as of any date after the fifth Lease Year (“Termination Date”), provided that (i) at the time the Termination Option is exercised and at all times thereafter, the Lease is in full force and effect and no Default exists; (ii) Tenant delivers written notice of termination (“Termination Notice”) to Landlord not less than two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the intended Termination Date (which intended Termination Date shall be specified in such written notice); (iii) all Base Rent, Additional Rent and any other amounts payable under the Lease shall be paid through and apportioned as of the Termination Date; (iv) Tenant shall have paid to Landlord, at the times specified below, (a) the “Unamortized Amount,” as defined herein, of (x) Landlord 46;s Work and (y) the brokerage commissions paid by Landlord for the negotiation and consummation of this Lease, together with interest on (a) and (b) above (collectively, “Transaction Costs”), at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, from the date when first paid or credited. The term “Unamortized Amount,” as used in this Article 37, shall mean that portion of the Transaction Costs which remains unamortized as of the Termination Date, based upon a full amortization on a straight-line basis over a term of sixty (60) months, as shown on the amortization schedule attached as Exhibit E hereto and made a part hereof; and (b) an amount equal to the aggregate of two (2) months’ of Base Rent and Additional Rent at the then-current rates (collectively, the “Termination Fee”). The Termination Fee shall be paid to Landlord with the Termination Notice; (v) Tenant shall surrender the Premises in the condition required under the Lease; and (vi) neither party shall have any rights, liabilities or obligations under the Lease for the period accruing after the Termination Date, except those which, by the provisions of the Lease, expressly survive the termination of the term of the Lease. Upon the timely and valid exercise of the Termination Option, the Termination Option shall be self-operative and no
52
additional agreement between Landlord and Tenant shall be necessary to effectuate such termination; provided, however, Landlord and Tenant shall, for their mutual convenience, execute a termination agreement prior to the Termination Date. The Termination Option is personal to Tenant and under no circumstances whatsoever shall any assignee or sublessee of Tenant have any right to exercise the Termination Option. Tenant’s rights under this Article 37 shall be null and void and of no further force or effect if (i) the Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises is terminated; (ii) Tenant assigns any of its interest in this Lease or sublets any portion of the Premises; or (iii) Tenant fails to timely exercise the Termination Option under this Article 37, time being of the essence with respect to Tenant’s exercise of the Termination Option and with respect to all other time frames set forth in this Article 37.
ARTICLE 38
Bankruptcy

Trustee shall not have the right to assume or assign this Lease unless Trustee promptly (i) cures all defaults under this Lease, (ii) compensates Landlord for monetary damages incurred as a result of such defaults, (iii) provides adequate assurance of future performance on the part of Tenant as debtor in possession or of the assignee of Tenant, and (iv) complies with all other requirements of the Bankruptcy Code. This Lease may be terminated in accordance with Section 36(B) if the foregoing criteria for assumption or assignment are not met, or if Tenant, Trus tee or such assignee defaults under this Lease after such assumption or assignment. Adequate assurance of future performance, as used in this Section 36(C), shall mean that all of the following minimum criteria must be met: (a) Tenant’s gross receipts in the ordinary course of business during the thirty (30) day period immediately preceding the initiation of the case under the Bankruptcy Code must be greater than two (2) times the next monthly installment of the Base Rent and additional Rent; (b) both the average and median of Tenant’s monthly gross receipts in the ordinary course of business during the six (6) month period immediately preceding the initiation of the case under the Bankruptcy Code must be greater than two (2) times the next monthly installment of the Base
53
Rent and additional Rent; (c) Tenant must pay its estimated pro rata share of the cost of all services performed or provided by Landlord (whether directly or through agents or contractors and whether or not previously included as part of the Base Rent) in advance of the performance or provision of such services; (d) Trustee must agree that Tenant’s business shall be conducted in a first-class manner, and that no liquidating sale, auction or other non-first-class business operation shall be conducted in the Premises; (e) Trustee must agree that the use of the Premises as stated in this Lease shall remain unchanged and that no prohibited use shall be permitted; (f) Trustee must agree that the assumption or assignment of this Lease shall not violate or affect the rights of other tenants in the Building; (g) Trustee must pay to Landlord at the time the next monthly installment of the Base Ren t is due, in addition to such installment, an amount equal to the monthly installments of the Base Rent and additional Rent due for the next two (2) months thereafter, such amount to be held as a security deposit; and (h) all assurances of future performance specified in the Bankruptcy Code must be provided.
ARTICLE 39
Confidentiality
(A)
Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the terms and provisions of this Lease have been negotiated based upon a variety of factors, occurring at a coincident point in time, including, but not limited to: (i) the individual principals involved and the financial strength of Tenant, (ii) the nature of Tenant’s business and use of the Premises, (iii) the current leasing market place and the economic conditions affecting rental rates, (iv) the present and projected tenant mix of the Building, and (v) the projected juxtaposition of tenants on the floor(s) upon which the Premises are located and the floors within the Building. Therefore, recognizing the totality, uniqueness, complexity and interrelation of the aforementioned factors, Tenant agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts not to disseminate in any manner whatsoever, (whether by word of mouth, mechanical reproduc tion, physical tender or by any manner of visual or aural transmission or review) the terms and conditions of this Lease to third parties who could in any way be considered presently or in the future as prospective tenants for this or any other leasehold property with which Landlord may be involved.
(B)
Additionally, Tenant agrees that information concerning Landlord and Boca Corporate Center and Campus and the financial and other terms of this Lease, are confidential and proprietary information and Tenant agrees that it will not duplicate or disclose any such information to any person in any manner unless such duplication, use, or disclosure is specifically authorized by Landlord in writing. Confidential and proprietary information is not meant to include any information that is in the public domain. In addition, Tenant agrees to keep the financial terms and conditions as contained herein confidential, with the following exceptions:
(i)
Tenant may disclose the contents of this Lease to its accountants, advisors, potential investors and other third parties similarly situated (“Recipient”), and shall notify such Recipients of the confidentiality provisions contained herein;
(ii)
Tenant may disclose such information as required by court order;
(iii)
Tenant may disclose such information as required by the securities laws and other laws and regulations of the United States of America; and
54
(iv)
Tenant shall issue no press release or statement to the media regarding this Lease without the Landlord’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
For purposes of this Article 37, “Tenant” shall include the officers, employees, directors and representatives of Tenant, and Tenant covenants and agrees to exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such persons to comply with the terms hereof. Tenant shall be liable for the failure of any such person to comply therewith unless Tenant can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that it has exercised best efforts to do so and that, notwithstanding such commercially reasonable efforts, compliance has not been achieved.
(C)
The provisions of this Article 39 shall not prevent or prohibit Tenant from disclosure of confidential and proprietary information to prospective assignees, subtenants, purchasers or affiliates of Tenant or investors in Tenant or Tenant’s affiliates on a strictly “need to know basis”, provided that Tenant shall advise such third parties of the restrictions set forth in this Article 39.
ARTICLE 40
Signage
No signs, advertisements or notices shall be painted or affixed to windows, doors or other parts of the Building, except those of such color, size, style and in such places as are first approved in writing by Landlord.

Subject to approval by all applicable governmental authorities, Landlord shall install a monument sign in front of the Building, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, and permit Tenant to maintain an identity panel on such monument sign. The design, fabrication, installation and maintenance of such identification panel shall be at Landlord’s sole cost and expense. Tenant’s right to maintain identification signage on any Building monument sign is predicated upon Tenant leasing not less than 15,000 rentable square feet of the Premises and occupying not less than 15,000 rentable square feet of the Premises. Upon termination or expiration of the Lease or of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises under the Lease or in the event Tenant ceases to occupy the required portion of the Premises, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, remove Tenan t’s identification panel from the monument sign and restore and repair the parts of such monument sign affected by the installation or removal of said signage to the condition existing prior to the addition of Tenant’s name or to a condition reasonably acceptable to Landlord.

The liability of Landlord to Tenant for any default by Landlord under the Lease or arising in connection herewith or with Landlord’s operation, management, leasing, repair, renovation, alteration, or any other matter relating to the Complex, the Building or the Premises, shall be limited to the interest of Landlord in the Complex (as it exists from time to time and at any time). Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Complex (as it exists from time to time and at any time) for the recovery of any judgment against Landlord, and Landlord shall not be personally liable for any such judgment or deficiency after execution thereon. The limitations of liability contained in this provision shall apply equally and inure to the benefit of Landlord’s present and future partners, beneficiaries, officers, directors, trustees, members, managers, shareholders, agents and employees, and their respective partners, members, shareholders, legal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns. Under no circumstances shall any present or future shareholder, officer or director of Landlord (if Landlord is a corporation), general or limited partner of Landlord (if Landlord is a partnership), manager or member of Landlord (if Landlord is a limited liability company), or trustee or beneficiary (if Landlord or any partner of Landlord is a trust) have any liability for the performance of Landlord’s obligations under the Lease.

[To be inserted upon approval of Landlord and Tenant]
A-1
EXHIBIT B
WORKLETTER AGREEMENT
THIS WORKLETTER AGREEMENT ("Workletter") is made a part of that certain Lease between Medical Connections, Inc., as Tenant, and BRE/Boca Corporate Center, L.L.C., as Landlord, relating to Premises at Building 4800 in T-Rex Corporate Center, Boca Raton, Florida, which Premises are more fully identified in the Lease. Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined in this Workletter, shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Lease.
For and in consideration of the agreement to lease the Premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and in the Lease, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:
1.
Work.
(a)
Landlord shall cause to be performed the Work (as defined below) in the Premises as shown on, and in accordance with, the Plans (as defined below), provided that the Work shall not include wiring the Premises for telephone or data lines [provided the cost thereof may be reimbursed out of the Landlord’s Contribution (as hereinafter defined) to the extent funds are available for such purpose] and shall not include, even if depicted on the Plans, any furniture or office equipment. Subject to "Tenant Delay" and "Force Majeure Delay" (as those terms are defined in Paragraph 2 below), Landlord shall proceed diligently to endeavor to cause the Work to be completed and obtain a certificate of occupancy by the appropriate governmental authority in accordance with the estimated construction schedule attached as Appendix I hereto and made a part hereof (the “Schedule”) and substantial completion and receipt of a certificate of occupancy by the appropriate governmental authority to occur no later than July 1, 2009 (such date being referred to herein as the "Substantial Completion Date"). It is agreed that construction of the Work reflected on the final Approved Plans (as defined below) will be completed using Building standard methods, materials and finishes, except as otherwise specified in the Approved Plans. Except for Landlord’s Contribution to be provided by Landlord hereunder, Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of all costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the Work (“Cost of the Work”) in excess of Landlord’s Contribution, subject to the provisions of this Workletter. Tenant shall receive prior written notice from Landlord and shall have the right to approve, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, any costs associated with the Work that are to be paid out of Landlord& #146;s Contribution prior to payment thereof by Landlord. As shown on the Schedule, Tenant shall have the right to approve architectural fees as well as costs of the general contractor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Change orders will be forwarded to Tenant prior to approval by Landlord. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a monthly schedule showing amounts expended to date from Landlord’s Contribution and the remaining balance thereof. Tenant shall pay such amount within five (5) days after demand therefor. If such amount is not paid when due, it shall bear interest at the default rate provided in the Lease. Landlord agrees to competitively bid the work to at least three (3) qualified contractors and shall use its commercially reasonable discretion in selecting the most economical contractor for the work.
(b)
Landlord shall cause its space planner to prepare a complete and detailed space plan of the Premises depicting all office layouts and setting forth all specifications for materials and finishes therein, including wall finishes, floor finishes, office layout, furniture and partition layout, telephone lines, data lines, electrical outlets, and other miscellaneous decorative appointments ("Space Plans"). The Space Plans shall be delivered to Tenant reasonably
B-1
promptly following Tenant's execution of the Lease. Tenant shall indicate its approval or disapproval of the Space Plans within three (3) business days after receipt, with specific details of the points that are disapproved and suggested changes ("Disapproved Details"). With respect to the Disapproved Details, Landlord shall, within five (5) business days of receipt of Tenant's disapproval, revise the Space Plans in a manner designed to eliminate Tenant’s disapproval. Tenant shall again review the revised Space Plans within three (3) business days of receipt of the revised Space Plans. The foregoing process shall continue until Tenant has approved the Space Plans.
Based upon the Space Plans approved by Landlord and Tenant, Landlord will cause the Plans (as defined herein) to be prepared to Tenant’s reasonable satisfaction. The Plans shall be (i) provided to Tenant reasonably promptly following Tenant’s approval of the Space Plans and (ii) reasonably approved by Tenant no more than five (5) business days following receipt thereof, including any reasonable Disapproved Details thereto. Landlord shall modify the Plans to reasonably accommodate Tenant's comments prior to being resubmitted to Tenant, as reasonably determined by Landlord, and submit the revised Plans to Tenant for approval. Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of the Plans. This process shall continue until Landlord and Tenant have approved the Plans. Failure by Tenant to approve, or disapprove together with its Disapproved Details, as the case may be, of the Plans within the applicable time period provided above shall be deemed approval by Tenant of the Plans. All improvements described in the Approved Plans may be referred to, collectively, as the "Work." The Plans shall be subject to Landlord's approval and the approval of all local governmental authorities requiring approval of the work or the Approved Plans. Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold its approval of the Space Plans or the Plans; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be deemed to have acted unreasonably if it withholds its approval of the Space Plans or the Plans because, in Landlord's reasonable opinion: the Work as shown is likely to adversely affect Building systems and equipment, the structure of the Building or the safety of the Building or its occupants; the Work as shown might impair Landlord's ability to furnish services to Tenant or other tenants; the Work would increase the cost of operating the Building or the Complex; the Work would violate any governmental laws, rules or ordinances (or interpretations thereof); the Work contains or uses hazardous or toxic materials or substances; the Work would adversely affect the appearance of the Building; or the Work might adversely affect another tenant's premises. The foregoing reasons, however, shall not be exclusive of the reasons for which Landlord may withhold consent, whether or not such other reasons are similar or dissimilar to the foregoing. To the extent that changes are required to the Plans (or the Work) by any local governmental official, the Plans shall be amended in accordance with the changes so required and Tenant shall be advised of such changes.
Landlord approval of the Plans shall in no way be deemed to be (i) an acceptance or approval of any element therein contained which is in violation of any applicable laws, ordinances, regulations or other governmental or insurance requirements, or (ii) an assurance that work done pursuant to the Approved Plans will comply with all applicable laws (or with the interpretations thereof) or satisfy Tenant's objectives and needs. If Landlord shall provide full MEP engineering services to Tenant, the cost of such services shall be paid from Landlord’s Contribution. As used herein, the term "Approved Plans" shall mean the Plans (as hereinafter defined), as and when approved in writing by Landlord and Tenant. As used herein, the term "Plans" shall mean the full and detailed architectural and engineering plans and specifications covering the Work (including, without limitat ion, architectural, mechanical and electrical working drawings for the Work).
B-2
(c)
The Cost of the Work may include, without limitation, (1) costs of labor, hardware, equipment and materials, contractors' charges for overhead and fees, and so-called "general conditions" (including rubbish removal, utilities, freight elevators, hoisting, field supervision, building permits, occupancy certificates, inspection fees, utility connections, bonds, insurance, sales taxes, and the like), (2) the Plans, including, without limitation, all revisions thereto, and engineering reports, or other studies, reports or tests, air balancing or related work in connection therewith, and (3) Landlord's costs. "Work" herein means: (i) the improvements and items of work shown on the final Approved Plans (including Change Orders (as defined herein)), and (ii) any demolition, preparation or other work required in connection therewith, including without limitation, structural or mechanical work, additional HVAC equipment or sprinkler heads, or modifications to any building mechanical, electrical, plumbing or other systems and equipment or relocation of any existing sprinkler heads, either within or outside the Premises required as a result of the layout, design, or construction of the Work or in order to extend any mechanical distribution, fire protection or other systems from existing points of distribution or connection, or in order to obtain building permits for the work to be performed within the Premises (unless Landlord requires that the Plans be revised to eliminate the necessity for such work).
(d)
In connection with the Premises, provided that Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any applicable cure period, Landlord shall contribute ("Landlord’s Contribution") up to Forty-Five and No/100 Dollars ($45.00) per rentable square foot of the Premises, i.e. Eight Hundred Fifty-Three Thousand Four Hundred Seventy and No/100 Dollars ($853,470.00), toward the Cost of the Work and the initial receipt of the certificate of occupancy. Landlord’s Contribution is applicable only in connection with the foregoing costs, and shall not be available for any improvements or alterations made subsequent to substantial completion of the Work and initial receipt of a certificate of occupancy. Landlord shall pay the approved contractor directly up to Landlord’s Contribution and Tenant shall have no obligation to pay any monies with regard to the Work ex cept as may be otherwise set forth herein. If any portion of Landlord’s Contribution shall not be so used, Landlord shall be entitled to the savings and Tenant shall receive no credit therefor. If Landlord terminates the Lease or Tenant's right to possession based on a default by Tenant which remains uncured after written notice and the expiration of the applicable cure period, Tenant shall repay Landlord on demand the unamortized amount of Landlord’s Contribution theretofore disbursed, as additional damages, without in any way limiting Landlord's other rights or remedies. Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of any portion of the Cost of the Work exceeding Landlord’s Contribution, provided that Landlord’s Contribution shall be disbursed in full prior to any payment by Tenant for the Cost of the Work.
2.
Delays in Work. Notwithstanding the date provided in the Lease for the Commencement Date, Tenant's obligation to pay Rent thereunder shall not commence until Landlord shall have substantially completed all Work to be performed by Landlord in the Premises as set forth in Paragraph l hereof and obtained a certificate of occupancy from all applicable governmental authorities; provided, however, if Landlord shall be delayed in substantially completing the Work for any reason set forth in the following subparagraphs (a) through (f) ("Tenant Delay"), the Commencement Date, Rent Commencement Date, nor the payment of Rent thereunder shall be affected or deferred on account of such delay:
(a)
Tenant's failure to furnish any reasonable information required for the completion, and Tenant approval, of the Space Plans or the Plans within the time frames set forth in Paragraph 1 above, or required for the completion of Landlord's Work as set forth in writing by the Landlord to Tenant; or
B-3
(b)
Tenant's failure, for a period of fifteen (15) days or more, to agree upon Plans acceptable to Tenant; or
(c)
Tenant's request for or use of unique materials, finishes or installations or construction procedures which are substantially different from that which is standard or customary for the Building, or resulting in the Work required by the Approved Plans (as same may be revised from time to time) taking longer to complete under standard construction procedures (e.g., without use of overtime or additional shifts and without necessitating other measures to expedite long lead time items) than originally projected by Landlord at the execution of the Lease (i.e., when Landlord developed its schedule for construction of the Work without the benefit of the Plans); or
(d)
Tenant's material changes in the Work or the Plans (notwithstanding Landlord's approval of any such material changes); or
(e)
any other act, omission or delay by Tenant, its agents or contractors or persons employed by any of such persons delaying substantial completion of the Work, subject to Force Majeure as defined in the Lease.
3.
Completion — Punch List.
(a)
When Landlord's construction manager, in its reasonable discretion, considers the Work to be substantially complete or about to be substantially completed and has obtained a certificate of occupancy, Landlord shall notify Tenant as to the date or anticipated date of substantial completion and its receipt of a certificate of occupancy and of a reasonable time and date for inspection of the Work. If such time and date for inspection are not reasonably acceptable to Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree upon another time and date, provided that Tenant and Landlord shall not unreasonably delay such inspection. Tenant agrees to inspect the Premises at such time and on such date and to execute at the time of such inspection Landlord's form of inspection report which shall be prepared by Landlord's construction manager and shall list items designated by said construction manager as not yet completed and any additional items which Landlord and Tenant, in good faith, agree are not yet completed (said list is hereinafter referred to as a "Punch List"). If Tenant does not appear for inspection on the date designated or agreed upon, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Premises as substantially completed and Landlord or its representative may execute such Punch List on behalf of both Landlord and Tenant. Tenant agrees that, at the request of Landlord from time to time after the initial inspection, Tenant shall initial such Punch List or execute revised Punch Lists to reflect completion or partial completion of prior Punch List items. Landlord agrees to complete all such Punch List items as soon as practicable, subject to Force Majeure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days from creation of the Punch List.
(b)
At any time after substantial completion of the Work and receipt of a certificate of occupancy, Landlord may, upon notice to Tenant, enter the Premises to complete Punch List items, and such entry by Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors for such purpose shall not 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, or impose any other liability upon Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors provided Landlord shall attempt to minimize any interruption to Tenant’s business, if applicable.
(c)
The phrases "substantial completion" or "substantially complete" shall mean that the Work has been completed except for such incomplete items as would not materially interfere
B-4
with the use of the Premises for its intended uses, as described in the Lease (but excluding items not included in the Work which are required for use of the Premises for such purposes). The Work shall be deemed to be substantially complete on the date on which the Work would have been substantially complete but for Tenant Delay, provided a certificate of occupancy has been issued for the Premises.
4.
Access by Tenant or Tenant’s Contractor Prior to Commencement of Term.
(a)
Landlord, at Landlord's reasonable discretion, may permit Tenant and Tenant's agents, suppliers, contractors, subcontractors and workmen (collectively, "Tenant's Contractors"), who have been approved by Landlord as hereinafter provided, to enter the Premises prior to the Commencement Date to enable Tenant to do such things as may be required by Tenant to make the Premises ready for Tenant's occupancy.
(b)
Tenant shall notify Landlord of the identity of Tenant's Contractors not less than three (3) days prior to the initial entry into the Premises by any such Tenant's Contractors, and Landlord shall have the right to approve or disapprove any of Tenant's Contractors.
(c)
Tenant agrees that if permission is granted Tenant for entry under this Paragraph, then (i) Tenant and Tenant's Contractors and their activities in the Premises and Building will not unreasonably interfere with or delay the completion of the Work to be done by Landlord and will not interfere with other construction by Landlord, its contractors and subcontractors and their agents and employees or occupants of the Building and their contractors in or about the Premises or Building, and (ii) Landlord, its contractors and subcontractors and their agents and employees shall have priority over Tenant and Tenant's Contractors in performing work within the Premises or Building, including, without limitation, the use of hoists and elevators.
(d)
Landlord shall have the right to withdraw its permission given under this Paragraph 4 upon written or oral notice to Tenant if Landlord determines that any interference or delay has been or may be caused. Tenant agrees that any such entry into the Premises shall be at Tenant's own risk and Landlord shall not be liable in any way for any injury, loss or damage which may occur to any of the Tenant's property or installations made in the Premises.
(e)
Tenant shall promptly pay to each of Tenant's Contractors when due the cost of all Work done by such Tenant's Contractor and, if required by Landlord, shall deliver to Landlord evidence of payment to each such party, together with contractors' affidavits, partial and full and final waivers of all liens for labor, service or materials and such other documents as Landlord may request.
(f)
Any work performed by Tenant or Tenant's Contractors shall be done in a first-class workmanlike manner using only building standard materials and shall comply with all of Landlord's rules and requirements and all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of governmental departments or agencies.
(g)
Any work done by Tenant or Tenant's Contractors will be scheduled and coordinated through Landlord and shall be performed under the supervision and control of Landlord to the extent Landlord determines to be reasonably necessary.
(h)
Tenant agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and save harmless Landlord and its officers, directors, partners, employees and agents from all liabilities, costs, damages, fees and
B-5
expenses arising out of or connected with the activities of Tenant or Tenant's Contractors in or about the Premises or Building, including, without limitation, the cost of any repairs to the Premises or Building necessitated by activities of Tenant or Tenant's Contractors. In addition, prior to the initial entry into the Building or the Premises by Tenant or any of Tenant's Contractors, Tenant shall furnish Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost, with policies of insurance required by the Lease and with any additional insurance covering Landlord and its officers, directors, partners, employees and agents as insured parties, with such coverages and in such amounts as Landlord may then require, in order to insure Landlord and its officers, directors, partners, employees or agents against loss or liability for injury or death or damage to property arising out of or connected with any activities of Tenan t or Tenant's Contractors. Tenant acknowledges that the foregoing indemnity shall be in addition to the insurance requirements set forth herein and shall not be in discharge of or in substitution for same.
(i)
Tenant has no authority or power to cause or permit any lien or encumbrance of any kind whatsoever, whether created by act of Tenant, operation of law or otherwise, to be attached to or be placed upon Landlord's title or interest in the Premises, Building or underlying land, and any and all liens and encumbrances created by Tenant shall attach to Tenant's interest only. Tenant covenants and agrees not to suffer or permit any lien of mechanics or materialmen or others to be placed upon the Premises, Building or land with respect to work or service claimed to have been performed for, or materials claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant or the Premises by Tenant's Contractors, and in case of any such lien attaching, Tenant covenants and agrees to cause it to be immediately released and removed of record. In the event that such lien is not immediately released and removed withi n ten (10) days after such lien, or notice thereof, is filed, Landlord, at its sole option, may take all action necessary to release and remove such lien (without any duty to investigate the validity thereof) and Tenant shall promptly upon notice reimburse Landlord for all sums, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by Landlord in connection with such lien.
5.
Waiver of Claims. Tenant hereby waives all claims by the Tenant except those arising from Landlord's failure to complete in due course the incomplete items, if any, described on the Punch List except for all claims caused by Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct. THE FOREGOING CONSTITUTES LANDLORD'S ONLY WARRANTY. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE EXPRESSLY NEGATED AND WAIVED.
6.
Changes in the Work.
(a)
Landlord or any contractor of Landlord may, upon notice to Tenant, make minor changes in the Work arising during the construction process not inconsistent with the intent hereof. In addition, after prior notice to Tenant (which notice need not be in writing), the Work may be changed (and the Plans will be revised by Landlord subject to Tenant’s approval) to reflect changes required by any local government inspectors.
(b)
Tenant may make changes in the Work by submitting to Landlord the required revised Plans for approval or disapproval or advising Landlord in writing and with specificity. In the event Tenant submits revised Plans which are approved by Landlord, Landlord will thereafter submit a proposal (the "Proposal") to Tenant for approval showing (i) the cost resulting from the proposed changes and (ii) the delay in completion of the Work anticipated as a result of the proposed changes (it being understood that Tenant's request for a change may constitute "Tenant Delay" pursuant to Paragraph 2 and the date of substantial completion shall not be delayed or extended by reason thereof). The Proposal shall include a form of Change
B-6
Order which shall set forth the anticipated time to perform such change(s) and the anticipated cost of such change(s) ("Change Order"). Tenant may approve the Proposal by executing and delivering the Change Order, along with, if applicable, the payment required in the Change Order (if such Change Order would cause the cost of the work to exceed Landlord’s Contribution), to Landlord within the time period specified in the Proposal (or within forty-eight (48) hours, if no period is required). If Tenant fails to approve or comment on the Proposal within the specified time period, Tenant shall be deemed to have abandoned its request for changes in the Work and Landlord may proceed with the Work without regard to such requested changes. If at any time Tenant has requested changes, or Landlord has delivered a Proposal to Tenant and Tenant has not yet approved the Proposal, Landlord ma y at its election cease any portions of the Work affected by such changes, and delays caused by such cessation of Work shall constitute a "Tenant Delay" as defined in Paragraph 2 hereof.
7.
Miscellaneous.
(a)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, any notice given by Landlord to Tenant in connection with the Work or matters set forth in this Workletter shall be given to Anthony Nicolosi, President, at 2300 Glades Road, Suite 307E, Boca Raton, Florida 33431, E-mail: anicolosi@medicalconnections,com, Fax: (561) 353-4246 and can be communicated to such individual verbally or in writing, telephonically, by facsimile transmission, by regular United States Postal Service mail, or by the other means of mail delivery specified in the Lease.
(b)
Except as herein expressly set forth or in the Lease, Landlord has no agreement with Tenant and has no obligation to do any other work with respect to the Premises. Any other work in the Premises which Tenant may be permitted by Landlord to perform shall be done at Tenant's sole cost and expense and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lease, and the terms and provisions of Paragraph 4 of this Workletter and such other requirements as Landlord deems necessary or desirable. Any additional work or alterations to the Premises desired by Tenant after the Lease Commencement Date shall be subject to the provisions of the Lease.
(c)
Landlord is entitled to all available investment tax credits, if any, for Work paid for and property acquired by Landlord pursuant to the Lease and this Workletter. Nothing in the Lease or this Workletter shall be construed as an agreement by Landlord to pass any investment tax credits through to Tenant.
(d)
Time is of the essence of this Workletter.
(e)
This Workletter shall not be deemed applicable to any additional space added to the original Premises at any time or from time to time, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, or to any portion of the original Premises or any additions thereto in the event of a renewal or extension of the original term of the Lease, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, unless expressly so provided in the Lease or any amendment or supplement thereto.
(f)
The liability of Landlord hereunder or under any amendment hereto or any instrument or document executed in connection herewith (including, without limitation, the Lease) shall be limited to and enforceable solely against Landlord's interest in the Complex and shall be subject to the terms of the Lease.

EXHIBIT C-1
SUPPLEMENT TO LEASE FOR EMERGENCY STANDBY ELECTRIC POWER SERVICE
BOCA CORPORATE CENTER AND CAMPUS
THIS SUPPLEMENT TO LEASE FOR EMERGENCY STANDBY ELECTRIC POWER SERVICE (“Supplement”) is made as of ______________, ____ (“Agreement Date”) betweenBRE/BOCA CORPORATE CENTER L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”) and __________________ (“Tenant”).
RECITALS:
A.
Tenant has entered into that certain lease with Landlord described onExhibit “A”attached hereto and made a part hereof for the premises therein described (“Premises”).
B.
Landlord has available standby electric power generators and related equipment (collectively, “Generators”), which are used under Landlord’s Standby Power Facilities Program (“Power Program”) to provide emergency standby electric power service at Boca Corporate Center and Campus, Boca Raton, Florida (“Complex”) for Landlord’s operation of the Complex and to tenants of the Complex and others who wish to subscribe for emergency standby electric power service (collectively, “Subscribers”).
C.
Tenant has elected to subscribe under the Power Program for emergency standby electric power service to the Premises, and Landlord has agreed to make emergency standby electric power service available to the Premises up to the Capacity Reservation, as hereinafter defined (“Standby Power Service”), subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Supplement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt whereof and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:
1.
Relationship to Lease. This Supplement shall form a part of the Lease. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the Lease and the terms of this Supplement as they relate or apply to the Power Program or Standby Power Service, the terms of this Supplement shall control. Capitalized terms used in this Supplement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as provided in the Lease.
2.
Term.The term of this Supplement shall commence on the Agreement Date and continue for the balance of the term of the Lease, as the same may be sooner terminated or hereafter extended pursuant to the terms of the Lease. Tenant’s rights under this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be null and void upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises.
3.
Capacity Reservation and Reservation Charge.In consideration of the sum of _____________________________ Dollars ($____________) for the initial Term of the Lease (“Capacity Reservation Charge”), which shall be paid to Landlord by federal wire transfer of immediately available funds no later than the Agreement Date, Tenant shall be entitled to _________________ megawatts of capacity on the Generators for the Premises (“Capacity
C1-1
Reservation”). For any renewal or extension of the Term of the Lease pursuant to the provisions of the Lease or otherwise, Tenant shall pay a supplemental charge (“Supplemental Capacity Reservation Charge”) of $_________________ for each renewal or extension term of the Lease, in advance, on or before the first day of the applicable renewal or extension term (“Extension Commencement Date”). If Tenant fails to pay the Capacity Reservation Charge on or before the Agreement Date, or the Supplemental Capacity Reservation Charge on or before the Extension Commencement Date, time being of the essence, this Supplement shall automatically terminate without further notice or action by Landlord, and Landlord may reserve for its own use or sell to other Subscribers the Standby Power Service theretofore reserved for Tenant. The Capacity Reservation Charge and Supplemental Capacity Reservation Charge (if applicable) are non-refundable and shall not be subject to proration, credit, rebate or abatement for any cause whatsoever, except as expressly provided in Paragraph 4(d) below.
4.
Served Systems.
(a)
Standby Power Service is limited to serving (i) Tenant’s equipment and systems located within the Premises and specifically identified by Tenant onExhibit “B” attached hereto and made a part hereof (collectively, “Served Systems”), and (ii) the Complex’s central air conditioning service (“Complex AC”) to the Premises, or if Complex AC is not supplied to the Premises because Tenant has installed a separate or supplemental air conditioning system in the Premises (“Premises AC”), Standby Power Service may be applied to the Premises AC; provided, however, in no event shall more than forty (40%) percent of the Standby Power Service reserved for Tenant under the Capacity Reservation (“40% Limitation”) be used for Complex AC to the Premises or Premises AC, as the case may be. Fo r purposes of this Agreement, “Served Systems” shall include Complex AC to the Premises or Premises AC, whichever is applicable, in either instance subject to the 40% Limitation. Tenant shall include onExhibit “B” hereto the power required for each piece of equipment included in the Served Systems, including, without limitation, the Complex AC to the Premises or Premises AC, whichever is applicable, subject to the 40% Limitation, and shall further designate onExhibit “B” which of the Served Systems are ”non-essential Served Systems” for purposes of this Agreement.
(b)
Tenant shall cause the Served Systems to be connected to electrical panels or breakers separate from the main panels and breakers for the Premises so as to permit the disconnection of all electrical systems and equipment, other than the Served Systems, from the Power Program. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the compatibility of the Served Systems with the Generators, including, but not limited to, electrical systems, wire, conduit, panels, transformers, switchgear and breakers in the Premises. Before the Served Systems may be connected to the Generator, Tenant shall make, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, any and all modifications and enhancements to the Served Systems necessary for such compatibility with the Generators.Landlord shall have no liability or responsibility for damage or injury to the Premises, the Served Systems or any of Tenant’s equi pment or personnel due to any such installation, connection or incompatibility, all such liability being expressly waived by Tenant. Before connecting the Served Systems to the Generator, Tenant shall disconnect any equipment which is not included in the Served Systems identified onExhibit “B”hereto.
(c)
Commencing on the Agreement Date, Landlord and its employees, agents, contractors and representatives shall have a non-exclusive right of access to and through the Premises at all times to the extent reasonably necessary for the implementation of the Power Program and the provision of Standby Power Service to the Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Supplement, including the installation, testing, maintenance, operation, repair,
C1-2
replacement and removal of any cabling or other appurtenances connecting the Served Systems to the Generators, provided that (i) Landlord shall make reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises, and (ii) Landlord shall endeavor to provide Tenant with forty-eight (48) hours notice prior to any access to the Premises other than for emergency repairs. Landlord shall have twenty-four (24) hours access to the Premises for any emergency work in connection with the Served Systems, Complex AC or Power Program.
(d)
Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has made no representation, warranty or guarantee as to the adequacy, effectiveness or efficiency of the Generators to provide an emergency source of power to the Premises or the Served Systems, or any portion thereof, or to Complex AC, at any time during the Term (even if it is determined that the Generators have or may have excess capacity). Tenant further acknowledges that the Generators are intended to first service the emergency power needs of Landlord with respect to the Common Areas of the Complex, and the emergency power needs of other Subscribers who are using the Generators as of the Agreement Date, before the transfer of Standby Power Service to the Premises. If, at any time during the term of this Supplement, Landlord elects to discontinue the Power Program or Landlord reasonably determines that Tenant’s use of the Generators adversely impacts the Complex or the use of any other Subscriber’s premises, Landlord may so notify Tenant, and Landlord may require Tenant to discontinue use of the Generators no later than the earlier of one hundred twenty (120) days after Landlord’s notice, or the date, if any, required under applicable Law (“Termination Date”). In such event, Tenant’s use of the Generators and subscription under the Power Program shall be null and void from and after the Termination Date, and Landlord should refund to Tenant the unamortized Capacity Reservation Charge (amortized over the initial Term of the Lease) or the unamortized Supplemental Capacity Reservation Charge (amortized over the applicable renewal or extension term), whichever is applicable, within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s disconnection of the Served Systems from the Generators. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not have the right to terminate Tenant’s use of the Generators to allow Subscriber which is not currently using the Generators to use the Generators for its emergency power needs.
5.
Generator Operation.
(a)
Tenant’s Temporary Generators. If Landlord has heretofore permitted Tenant to operate a temporary backup generator for the Premises, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after the Agreement Date, disconnect such temporary backup generator and remove the same from the Complex and restore the portion of the Complex affected to the condition existing prior to the installation of such temporary backup generator.
(b)
Emergency Service Use. Tenant acknowledges that the Generators are intended for limited emergency backup use and neither the Generators nor the fuel storage tanks for the Generators are either designed or have the capacity for more than limited and temporary use.
(c)
Start-up Delay. In the event of a power failure (“Outage”), the Generators are designed to start up over a period of thirty (30) minutes. Landlord shall not be liable or responsible for any direct, indirect, consequential or special damages that may occur due to an interruption of Tenant’s business or business operations, or to the Premises or Tenant’s equipment, the Served Systems or Complex AC or Premises AC, whichever is applicable, due to any delay in the start-up of the Generators. Tenant shall be responsible to provide for its own backup uniform power supply to the Premises and the Served Systems to address any start-up delay of the Generators.
C1-3
(d)
Emergency Representative: Tenant designates ________________________ and __________________ as its “Emergency Representatives” in the event of an Outage or other emergency. The Emergency Representatives shall have full authority to act on behalf of Tenant in the event of an Outage or other emergency and shall be available to meet with Landlord and the emergency representatives of other Subscribers to implement emergency procedures established by Landlord in the event of an Outage or other emergency. Tenant shall provide to Landlord, in writing, after-hours contact information for the Emergency Representatives, including, but not limited to, home addresses and telephone numbers, cellular telephone numbers and pager numbers. Notices to Tenant under this Supplement shall be deemed made to Tenant if made to either or both of the Emergency Representatives. Tenant shall notify Landlord, in writing, of any changes in the identity or after-hours contact information of the Emergency Representatives. The Emergency Representatives shall participate in emergency drills conducted by Landlord from time to time.
(e)
Generator Operation During Extended Outage. For purposes hereof, any Outage lasting more than one (1) hour shall be deemed an “Extended Outage”. Tenant acknowledges that the fuel storage capacity of the Generators is not sufficient for continuous or extended use of the Generators to meet the emergency power needs of Landlord and all Subscribers under the Power Program. In the event of an Extended Outage or a series of Outages, Landlord, in its sole and exclusive discretion, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to regulate, reduce and limit the availability of emergency standby electric power service to Subscribers, including Tenant, under the Power Program in order to meet the generator recommendations of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the safety of all tenants of the Complex and all Subscribers under the Power Program, the availabil ity of fuel supplies or the operating conditions and requirements of the Generators.
In order to administer the Power Program in the best interests of the Complex, Landlord has established the following rules, procedures and protocols for responding to an Extended Outage (which rules, procedures and protocols may be amended at any time and from time to time as provided, in Paragraph 5[i] below):
(i)

(ii)
Extended Outage Protocols:
In the event of an Extended Outage, Landlord shall advise Tenant, to the extent feasible, of the anticipated level of the Extended Outage, and Tenant shall comply with the following emergency protocols of the applicable level of the Extended Outage, which protocols may be amended by Landlord at any time and from time to time in accordance with Paragraph 5(i) below (“Protocols”):
C1-4
Level One Outage: The operation of the Served Systems, as contemplated under this Supplement, may continue.
Level Two Outage: The operation of the Served Systems, as contemplated under this Supplement, may continue. Tenant shall turn off or disconnect all equipment and systems in the Premises which do not constitute Served Systems (“Non-Served Systems”) within thirty (30) minutes to one (1) hour of Landlord’s notice of the Level Two Outage. Tenant’s personnel not required in the operation of the Served Systems may be required by Landlord to immediately vacate the Premises and the Complex, and Tenant shall otherwise comply with Landlord’s emergency procedures and rules promulgated from time to time in accordance with the Lease or this Supplement. Landlord may, in Landlord’s sole and exclusive judgment, (i) reduce or eliminate Complex AC, (ii) reduce or eliminate non-emergency Common Area systems and services, including, but not limited to , the operation of the cafeteria, conference centers and other amenities or services provided by Landlord to tenants of the Complex, or (iii) require Tenant to turn off or disconnect non-essential Served Systems within thirty (30) minutes to one (1) hour of Landlord’s request.
Level Three Outage: Only the essential Served Systems designated onExhibit “B” hereto may be permitted to operate during a Level Three Outage. Tenant shall turn off or disconnect all non-essential Served Systems and Non-Served Systems within one (1) hour of Landlord’s notice of a Level Three Outage. Tenant’s personnel not required in the operation of the essential Served Systems shall immediately vacate the Premises and the Complex, and Tenant shall otherwise comply with Landlord’s emergency procedures and rules promulgated from time to time in accordance with the Lease and this Supplement. Landlord may, in Landlord’s sole and exclusive judgment, (i) reduce or eliminate Complex AC, (ii) reduce or eliminate non-emergency Common Area systems and services, including, but not limited to, the operation of the cafeteria, conference centers and other amenities or services provided by Landlord to tenants of the Complex, or (iii) require Tenant to turn off, reduce or disconnect all Served Systems (essential and non-essential) due to the unavailability of fuel to service the Generators. During a Level Three Outage, Landlord shall report to Tenant as to the status of the Level Three Outage, anticipated actions by Landlord and the availability of fuel supplies, and shall use reasonable efforts to notify Tenant of an impending planned shut down of Standby Power Service at least one (1) hour prior to such shutdown. Tenant shall, upon Landlord’s request, immediately disconnect all non-essential Served Systems from the Standby Power Service and otherwise cooperate with Landlord to maximize fuel supplies and the obtaining of additional fuel supplies. Tenant acknowledges that in the event of a Level Three Outage, fuel may become exhausted and additional fuel unavailable, in which event the Generators may be shut down and Standby Power Servic e discontinued to the Premises, the Served Systems and Non-Served Systems, in whole or in part, all without liability to Landlord.
(f)
Generator Maintenance Program. Landlord has entered into a service agreement for the maintenance of the Generators with a generator maintenance company selected by Landlord. The service agreement provides for maintenance of the Generators in accordance with the National Fire Protection Agency Level 2 standards for emergency generators. Copies of the service agreement and repair records for the Generators shall be kept at the management
C1-5
offices of the Complex for inspection by Tenant upon reasonable prior written notice during Business Hours.
(g)
Planned Maintenance. Landlord may interrupt or reduce the availability of Standby Power Service for a reasonable duration, upon prior notice to Tenant, for the purpose of performing ordinary maintenance, repairs, replacements, connections or changes of or to the Generators or any other equipment or appurtenances related thereto, including any of the foregoing which is required by good engineering and operating practices or by manufacturers’ specifications. Landlord shall attempt to restore the availability of Standby Power Service as soon as is reasonably possible.
(h)
Non-Scheduled Interruption. Landlord shall have the right to interrupt or reduce Standby Power Service for a duration determined necessary by Landlord, without prior notice to Tenant, if (i) a Force Majeure Delay (as hereafter defined) has occurred that causes or requires such interruption or reduction of Standby Power Service, or (ii) the Served Systems or the Premises have become dangerous in Landlord’s judgment and, as a result thereof, Landlord believes that such interruption or reduction is necessary to prevent injury to persons or damage to property or to prevent the interruption or reduction of emergency standby electric power service to other Subscribers.
(i)
Rules. Tenant shall comply with, and shall cause any subtenants, assignees, occupants, invitees, employees, contractors and agents to comply with, the rules, procedures and Protocols set forth in this Supplement (collectively, “Rules”). Landlord shall have the right to reasonably amend the Rules and supplement the same with other reasonable rules relating to the Power Program not expressly inconsistent with this Supplement, and all such amendments or new rules shall be binding upon Tenant after five (5) days notice thereof to Tenant and shall constitute “Rules” for purposes of this Supplement. The Rules shall be applied on a non-discriminatory basis among the Subscribers, but nothing herein shall be construed to give Tenant or any other Person any claim, demand or cause of action against Landlord arising out of the violation of any Rules by a ny other Subscriber or out of the enforcement or waiver of the Rules by Landlord in any particular instance.
6.
Excess Demand Load. Tenant may not exceed the Capacity Reservation during any Outage. If Tenant exceeds the Capacity Reservation during an Outage (“Excess Demand”), Landlord may, in Landlord’s sole and exclusive judgment, require Tenant to immediately disconnect non-essential Served Systems and reduce the actual load to the Generators to a level less than the Capacity Reservation. If Tenant fails to take such immediate action, Landlord may reduce Standby Power Service to the Premises so that the actual load does not exceed the Capacity Reservation. Alternatively, if there is sufficient capacity for emergency standby electric power service to the Common Areas and other Subscribers, as determined by Landlord in its sole and exclusive judgment, Landlord may charge Tenant an additional fee for the Excess Demand equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the then current Capacity Reservation Charge or the Supplemental Capacity Reservation Charge, whichever is applicable, prorated for the actual load in excess of the Capacity Reservation (“Excess Demand Fee”). The foregoing rights and remedies are in addition to Landlord’s other rights and remedies under this Supplement and at law or in equity, and any additional Rules promulgated or implemented by Landlord in the event of an Extended Outage. The Excess Demand Fee shall be billed by Landlord and paid by Tenant, as Additional Rent under the Lease, within ten (10) Business Days of written demand therefor by Landlord.
C1-6
7.
Use Charges.
(a)
Tenant shall pay for the fuel consumed by the Generators during an Extended Outage in the proportion that Tenant’s electrical usage during such Extended Outage bears to the aggregate electrical usage of all Subscribers consuming fuel during such Extended Outage (“Tenant’s Power Share”).
(b)
The cost of fuel for Outages which are not Extended Outages and all other costs of maintaining, repairing, testing and servicing the Generators and implementing the Power Program shall be treated, budgeted and invoiced as Operating Expenses under the Lease; however, such costs shall not be limited by any provisions of the Lease limiting Tenant’s Prorata Share of Operating Expenses or Overhead Rent. In the alternative, Landlord may bill Tenant’s Power Share directly to Tenant, which shall be payable by Tenant in monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annual installments, as determined by Landlord under the Power Program.
8.
Covenants of Tenant.Tenant covenants that:
(a)
Tenant shall not add any additional systems or equipment to the Generator at any time without the prior written consent of Landlord, which Landlord may withhold for any reason or no reason, in Landlord’s sole and exclusive discretion. Alternatively, Landlord may condition its consent upon Tenant’s payment of an additional charge or fee reasonably proportional for such inclusion to the Served Systems;
(b)
Tenant shall not cause or voluntarily permit any modification or alteration to any of the Served Systems or the Premises which would have the affect of increasing the level of electrical demand for the Premises or which would adversely affect the Generators or Landlord’s ability to provide emergency standby electric power service under the Power Program for the operation of the Complex or to other Subscribers; and
(c)
Tenant shall maintain, repair and replace, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, the Served Systems as necessary and appropriate in accordance with prudent and sound engineering practices so that the Served Systems are in proper condition to receive, distribute and use Standby Power Service without damage to the Served Systems, Complex AC, Generators or the other Subscribers.
9.
Default by Tenant; Termination by Landlord.Upon the occurrence of any one (1) or more of the following events, upon notice to Tenant and a five (5) business day opportunity to cure (except in the event of an emergency), Landlordmay discontinue the delivery of Standby Power Service to the Premises and terminate this Supplement and cause Tenant to remove, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, all equipment connecting the Premises and Served Systems to the Generators:
(a)
Tenant’s failure to pay any charges, including, but not limited to, the Capacity Reservation Charge, Supplemental Capacity Reservation Charge or Excess Demand Fee, as and when due;
(b)
A default by Tenant under the Lease which is not cured within any applicable cure period under the Lease; or
(c)
Tenant’s actual electric load connected to the Generators increases in excess of the Capacity Reservation and Tenant fails to immediately disconnect such of Tenant’s
C1-7
equipment so as not to exceed the Capacity Reservation (unless Landlord, in Landlord’s sole and exclusive discretion, and subject to availability and price, elects to increase the Capacity Reservation).
10.
No Waiver. No provision of this Supplement will be deemed waived by either party unless expressly waived in writing signed by the waiving party. No waiver shall be implied by delay or any other act or omission of either party. No waiver by either party of any provision of this Supplement shall be deemed a waiver of such provision with respect to any subsequent matter relating to such provision. Acceptance of any fee or charge by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of any breach by Tenant of any term or provision of this Lease. No acceptance of a lesser amount than the fee or charge stipulated herein shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to receive the full amount due nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment or any letter accompanying such check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or pa yment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the full amount due.
11.
Permitted Assignment.
(a)
This Supplement, and the Capacity Reservation, shall not be transferred, assigned, subcontracted, or sold by Tenant, in whole or part, other than in connection with a permitted Transfer of the Lease to a Transferee approved by Landlord or otherwise deemed approved by Landlord under the Lease, but only so long as such Transferee does not require or present a demand load greater than that of Tenant.
(b)
Landlord may assign its obligations, rights and duties under this Supplement separate and apart from the Lease, and in all events without the consent of Tenant. In such event, this Supplement shall continue in full force and effect without change, abatement or offset, and Landlord shall be automatically relieved of all liability and obligations under this Supplement so long as such are expressly assumed in writing by the assignee.
12.
Force Majeure Delays.Landlord’s ability to install, maintain and operate the Generators and to provide Standby Power Service to the Premises in accordance with this Supplement are subject to the occurrence of Force Majeure Delays.
13.
Indemnity. Notwithstanding any termination of this Supplement, Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, judgments, orders, decrees, actions, proceedings, fines, penalties, costs and expenses, including without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from or relating to (a) any loss of life, damage or injury to person, property or business occurring in or from the Premises or the Complex and caused by or in connection with (i) the performance of any of Tenant’s obligations under this Supplement with respect to the Premises, Served Systems, Non-Served Systems or Complex AC, or (ii) any violation of the terms of this Supplement, or (iii) any other act or omission of, Tenant, any other occupant of the Premises, or any of their respective agents, employees, contractors or guests, (b) any failure by Tenant to comply with any Rules, Protocols or Laws with respect to Tenant’s obligations under this Supplement, or (c) any failure by Tenant to perform any of the agreements, terms, covenants or conditions of this Supplement required to be performed by Tenant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant specifically acknowledges that the indemnity undertaking herein shall apply to claims in connection with or arising out of the transportation, use, storage, maintenance, generation, manufacturing, handling, disposal, release or discharge of any Hazardous Material (whether or not any of such matters shall have been theretofore approved
C1-8
by Landlord). In case Landlord, its agents or employees, shall be made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Tenant, then Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold them harmless and shall pay all costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred or paid by them in connection with such litigation. The obligations assumed herein shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Supplement. The foregoing indemnity shall be in addition to, and shall not be in discharge of or in substitution for, any of the insurance requirements or any other indemnity provisions of this Supplement or the Lease.
14.
Waiver of Claims. TENANT HEREBY WAIVES AND RELEASES LANDLORD, ITS MEMBERS, PARTNERS, AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS FROM ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, COSTS AND EXPENSES WITH RESPECT TO LANDLORD’S PROVISION, REGULATION, REDUCTION, LIMITATION OR DISCONTINUATION OF EMERGENCY STANDBY ELECTRIC POWER SERVICE, OR LANDLORD’S DECISIONS, ACTS OR OMISSIONS RELATING THERETO, OR THE INABILITY OF LANDLORD TO DELIVER STANDBY POWER SERVICE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, OR THE OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE GENERATORS EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OF LANDLORD’S NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TENANT AGREES THAT TENANT’S SUBSCRIPTION FOR EMERGENCY STANDBY ELECTRIC POWER SERVICE SHALL BE AT TENANT’S OWN RISK.

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE
AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT
This Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (“Agreement”), is made as of this _____ day of ________________, 200__ among BARCLAYS CAPITAL REAL ESTATE INC., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors, assigns and/or affiliates, “Lender”), BRE/Boca Corporate Center L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and _______________________, a _________________________ (“Tenant”).
Background
A.
Lender has agreed to make a loan to Landlord (such loan may be made by Lender or one of its affiliates which is a designee of Lender) in the original principal amount $190,000,000 (“Loan”), which will be secured by a mortgage, deed of trust or similar security instrument (either, “Security Instrument”) on Landlord’s property described more particularly onExhibit A attached hereto (“Property”).
B.
Tenant is the present lessee under that certain lease agreement between Landlord and Tenant dated ________________, as thereafter modified and supplemented (“Lease”), demising a portion of the Property described more particularly in the Lease (“Leased Space”).
C.
A requirement of the Loan is that Tenant’s Lease be subordinated to the Security Instrument. Landlord has requested Tenant to so subordinate the Lease in exchange for Lender’s agreement not to disturb Tenant’s possession of the Leased Space upon the conditions set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises of this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
D-1
1.
Subordination. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Tenant agrees that the Lease and all of the terms, covenants and provisions thereof, and all estates, options and rights created under the Lease, hereby are subordinated and made subject to the lien and effect of the Security Instrument (including, without limitation, all renewals, increases, modifications, spreaders, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof), as if the Security Instrument had been executed and recorded prior to the Lease.
2.
Nondisturbance. Lender agrees that no foreclosure (whether judicial or nonjudicial), deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or other sale of the Property in connection with enforcement of the Security Instrument or otherwise in satisfaction of the Loan shall operate to terminate or modify in any material manner the Lease or Tenant’s rights to quiet enjoyment thereunder to possess and use the Leased Space and all of Tenant’s rights under the Lease, provided that Tenant is not in default of the Lease beyond any applicable cure periods.
3.
Attornment. Tenant agrees to attorn to and recognize as its landlord under the Lease each party acquiring legal title to the Property by foreclosure (whether judicial or nonjudicial) of the Security Instrument, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or other sale in connection with enforcement of the Security Instrument or otherwise in satisfaction of the Loan (“Successor Owner”). Provided that the conditions set forth in Section 2 above are met at the time Successor Owner becomes owner of the Property, Successor Owner shall perform all obligations of the landlord under the Lease arising from and after the date title to the Property is transferred to Successor Owner. In no event, however, will any Successor Owner be: (a) liable for any default, act or omission of any prior landlord under the Lease; except to the extent that such default is continuing beyond all notice and cure periods at the time Successor Owner becomes the owner of the Property; (b) subject to any offset or defense which Tenant may have against any prior landlord under the Lease; (c) bound by any payment of rent or additional rent made by Tenant to Landlord more than 30 days in advance, except to the extent that such wums are actually transferred to Successor Owner; (d) bound by any modification or supplement to the Lease, or waiver of Lease terms, made without Lender’s written consent thereto; (e) liable for the return of any security deposit or other prepaid charge paid by Tenant under the Lease, except to the extent such amounts were actually received by Lender; (f) liable or bound by any right of first refusal or option to purchase all or any portion of the Property; or (g) liable for construction or completion of any improvements to the Property or as required under the Lease for Tenant’s use and occupancy (whenever arising), other than with respect to the La ndlord's obligations with respect to the initial buildout of the Premises as described in the Lease and the Workletter attached thereto. Although the foregoing provisions of this Agreement are self-operative, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Lender or any Successor Owner such further instruments as Lender or a Successor Owner may from time to time request in order to confirm this Agreement. If any liability of Successor Owner does arise pursuant to this Agreement, such liability shall be limited to Successor Owner’s interest in the Property.
4.
Prior Assignment; Rent Payments; Notice to Tenant Regarding Rent Payments. Tenant has no knowledge of any prior assignment or pledge of the rents accruing under the Lease by Landlord. Tenant hereby consents to that certain Assignment of Leases and Rents from Landlord to Lender executed in connection with the Loan. Tenant acknowledges that the interest of the Landlord under the Lease is to be assigned to Lender solely as security for the purposes specified in said assignment, and Lender shall have no duty, liability or obligation whatsoever
D-2
under the Lease or any extension or renewal thereof, either by virtue of said assignments or by any subsequent receipt or collection of rents thereunder, unless Lender shall specifically undertake such liability in writing. Tenant agrees not to pay rent more than one (1) month in advance unless otherwise specified in the Lease. After notice is given to Tenant by Lender that Landlord is in default under the Security Instrument and that the rentals under the Lease are to be paid to Lender directly pursuant to the assignment of leases and rents granted by Landlord to Lender in connection therewith, Tenant shall thereafter pay to Lender all rent and all other amounts due or to become due to Landlord under the Lease. Landlord hereby expressly authorizes Tenant to make such payments to Lender upon reliance on Lender’s written notice (without any inquiry into the factual basis for such notice or any prior notice to or consent from Landlord) and hereby releases Tenant from all liability to Landlord in connection with Tenant’s compliance with Lender’s written instructions.
5.
Lender Opportunity to Cure Landlord Defaults. Tenant agrees that, until the Security Instrument is released by Lender, it will not exercise any remedies under the Lease following a Landlord default without having first given to Lender (a) written notice of the alleged Landlord default, which shall be given simultaneously with notice thereof to Landlord and (b) the same cure period afforded to Landlord under the terms of the Lease to cure such default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lender's only way to cure a default is to take possession of the Property and Lender initiates the process to take possession of the Property through, including, without limitation, a foreclosure or a deed in lieu of foreclosure, and Lender diligently pursues such a cure, then Lender shall have such additional time as may be necessary to take possession of the Property and to effectuate such cure. Tenant a cknowledges that Lender is not obligated to cure any Landlord default, but if Lender elects to do so, Tenant agrees to accept cure by Lender as that of Landlord under the Lease and will not exercise any right or remedy under the Lease for a Landlord default. Performance rendered by Lender on Landlord’s behalf is without prejudice to Lender’s rights against Landlord under the Security Instrument or any other documents executed by Landlord in favor of Lender in connection with the Loan.
6.
Right to Purchase. Tenant covenants and acknowledges that it has no right or option of any nature whatsoever, whether pursuant to the Lease or otherwise, to purchase the Property or the real property of which the Property is a part, or any portion thereof or any interest therein and to the extent that Tenant has had, or hereafter acquires any such right or option, the same is hereby acknowledged to be subject and subordinate to the Security Instrument and is hereby waived and released as against Lender.
7.
Miscellaneous.
(a)
Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement are to be in writing and addressed as set forth below such party’s signature hereto. Default or demand notices shall be deemed to have been duly given upon the earlier of: (i) actual receipt; (ii) one (1) business day after having been timely deposited for overnight delivery, fee prepaid, with a reputable overnight courier service, having a reliable tracking system; (iii) one (1) business day after having been sent by telecopier (with answer back acknowledged) provided an additional notice is given pursuant to (ii); or (iv) three (3) business days after having been deposited in any post office or mail depository regularly maintained by the U.S. Postal Service and sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, and in the case of clause
D-3
(ii) and (iv) irrespective of whether delivery is accepted. A new address for notice may be established by written notice to the other parties; provided, however, that no address change will be effective until written notice thereof actually is received by the party to whom such address change is sent.
(b)
Entire Agreement; Modification. This Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and replaces all prior discussions, representations, communications and agreements (oral or written). This Agreement shall not be modified, supplemented, or terminated, nor any provision hereof waived, except by a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement thereof is sought, and then only to the extent expressly set forth in such writing.
(c)
Binding Effect; Joint and Several Obligations. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors, and assigns, whether by voluntary action of the parties or by operation of law. No Indemnitor may delegate or transfer its obligations under this Agreement.
(d)
Unenforceable Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement which is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or government body to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal shall be ineffective only to the extent of such determination and shall not affect the validity, enforceability or legality of any other provision, nor shall such determination apply in any circumstance or to any party not controlled by such determination.
(e)
Duplicate Originals; Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals, and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original. This Agreement (and each duplicate original) also may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together constitute a fully executed Agreement even though all signatures do not appear on the same document.
(f)
Construction of Certain Terms. Defined terms used in this Agreement may be used interchangeably in singular or plural form, and pronouns shall be construed to cover all genders. Article and section headings are for convenience only and shall not be used in interpretation of this Agreement. The words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section, paragraph or other subdivision; and the word “section” refers to the entire section and not to any particular subsection, paragraph of other subdivision; and “Agreement” and each of the Loan Documents referred to herein mean the agreement as originally executed and as hereafter modified, supplemented, extended, consolidated, or restated from time to time.
(g)
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced according to the laws of the State where the Property is located (without giving effect to its rules governing conflict of laws).
(h)
Consent to Jurisdiction. Each party hereto irrevocably consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court sitting in the county and state where the Property is located with respect to any legal action arising with respect to this Agreement and waives all objections which it may have to such jurisdiction and venue.
