All reference herein to the Lease Term will mean both the initial ten-year term and any renewal terms exercised by Tenant under this Lease. The leasing of the Leased Premises to Tenant will be upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease. (S)1. BASE RENT. Tenant will pay Base Rent in the amount set forth in --------- the Base Rent Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A. (S)2. EXCESS EXPENSE PAYMENTS. Tenant will pay the increase, if any, ----------------------- of the Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord during the Lease Term over the Base Expenses ("Excess Expenses"). For the purposes of this Lease, "Base Expenses" will mean the actual Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord during the calendar year 1997. A list of those expenses which are included within the definition of "Operating Expenses" is set forth in Exhibit B. Any such Excess Expenses will be paid by Tenant in advance based upon Landlord's estimate of the Excess Expenses which will be incurred during each calendar year during the Lease Term, beginning with the 1998 calendar year. Landlord will use its best efforts to notify Tenant by December 1 of each year during the Lease Term, beginning with the 1998 calendar year, of the amount of the estimated Excess Expense payment which Tenant will be required to make for each month of the upcoming calendar year. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant's obligation to pay any Excess Expenses related to "Controllable Expenses" (as that term is hereinafter defined) will be limited to an amount equal to the actual Controllable Expenses incurred by Landlord during the calendar year 1997, with increases capped at the rate of 7% per year for each calendar year thereafter. For the purposes of this Lease, "Controllable Expenses" will have the meaning set forth in Exhibit B. As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each calendar year (beginning with the 1998 calendar year), Landlord will deliver to Tenant a written statement showing its actual Operating Expenses for such calendar year and the amount of the Excess Expenses, if any. If the sum of the estimated Excess Expense payments paid by Tenant during such calendar year exceeds the actual Excess Expenses incurred during such year, then, at Landlord's election, Landlord will either refund the excess to Tenant or apply the same toward the next succeeding monthly estimated Excess Expense payment due from Tenant. If the sum of the estimated Excess Expense payments paid by Tenant during such calendar year is less than the actual Excess Expenses incurred during such year, then Tenant will pay the deficiency to Landlord within ten days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's written demand for the payment thereof. If the Lease Term expires on a date other than December 31, then the Excess Expenses for the last calendar year during which the Lease Term is in effect will be prorated to take into consideration the number of days during such calendar year in which the Lease Term is in effect. Tenant will have the right, upon reasonable prior written notice to Landlord, to audit and make copies of Landlord's books, records and computations with respect to its Operating Expenses. Landlord will retain such books, records and computations for at least three years following the end of the calendar year to which they relate. If any audit conducted by Tenant discloses an average in the amount billed to Tenant over the amount actually due from Tenant hereunder, then Landlord will reimburse Tenant for such overpayment and all reasonable costs and professional fees incurred by Tenant in connection with its auditing of Landlord's books, records and computations. The payments referred to in the immediately preceding sentence will be made by Landlord to Tenant within ten days after Landlord's receipt of a detailed invoice identifying the amounts of such Payments. At Tenant's request, Landlord will provide Tenant with copies of any invoice received by Landlord with respect to the imposition of any assessments against the Building by any property owner's association (specifically, the Heathrow International Business Center owner's association). Landlord will further, at Tenant's request, assign and delegate to Tenant the right to contest the amount of any such assessment granted to Landlord as the owner of the Building pursuant to the applicable owner's association documents, a copy of which documents have been previously furnished to Tenant by Landlord. Finally, if Tenant believes a change is necessary in the identity of any on-site personnel assigned to the Building by Landlord to perform property management or maintenance services, Tenant will so notify Landlord and Landlord and Tenant will promptly meet to address Tenant's concerns and, if appropriate, assign new personnel to perform such services al the Building. If Landlord obtains a refund or abatement of any real estate taxes or assessments attributable to the Building, the amount of which has previously been contributed to by Tenant, then, at Landlord's election, Landlord will either pay Tenant's Proportionate Share of such refund or abatement to Tenant or apply the amount thereof toward the next succeeding monthly estimated Excess Expense payment(s) due from Tenant hereunder. Tenant will have the right, at its own expense and in its name, to contest the amount, propriety, accuracy or validity of any real estate taxes or assessments imposed against the Building. Any refund or abatement of any real estate taxes or assessments which is received by Landlord and which is attributable to Tenant's contesting of the same pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence will be disbursed for Tenant's benefit in the manner set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph. (S)3. MANNER AND TIMING OF RENT PAYMENTS. Monthly installments of Base ---------------------------------- Rent and estimated Excess Expense payments, if any, will be due and payable in advance on or before the first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term. Each such installment will be paid to Landlord at its address set forth in the Lease Summary (or such other address as Landlord may designate from time to time). If the Lease Term commences on a day other than the first day of the month or terminates on a day other than the last day of the month, then the installments of Base Rent and estimated Excess Expense payments for such month(s) will be adjusted accordingly. If any installment of Base Rent or any Excess Expense payment is not received by Landlord within ten days after Tenant's receipt of written notice from Landlord that any such payment is due and unpaid, then a late payment charge of 5% of such past due amount will be assessed and will be immediately due and payable from Tenant. All installments of Base Rent and estimated Excess Expense payments will be paid by Tenant without demand and without any rights of reduction, counterclaim or offset. Tenant hereby agrees to pay as additional rent any sales, use or other tax (other than income taxes) now or hereafter imposed by any governmental authority upon the rent and other sums payable by Tenant hereunder. The sales tax on Base Rent initially payable by Tenant is set forth in the Base Rent Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A. Landlord will notify Tenant of any change in any tax payable by Tenant as additional rent hereunder. Landlord's acceptance of any payment which constitutes less than all of the balance then owed to it by Tenant hereunder will be treated as its receipt of a payment "on account" and not as an accord and satisfaction and Landlord may accept any such payment (regardless of the existence of any endorsement or statement to the contrary contained on any check or letter accompanying such payment) without prejudice to -2- Landlord's right to recover the balance of the amount owed to it or pursue any other remedy provided for in this Lease. (S)4. SERVICES. Landlord will provide all utility, HVAC and elevator -------- services which are required for the use of the Leased Premises for general office purposes during normal business hours (8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, holidays excepted). HVAC service will be provided to the Leased Premises outside of the normal business hours set forth above at a surcharge to Tenant of $22 per hour. To the extent Tenant requires any such additional HVAC service, it will notify Landlord of its need therefor by noon of the day prior to the day of its required additional service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant will pay directly to the service provider all costs related to the provision of telephone service to the Leased Premises. If utility services to the Leased Premises are interrupted for a period of three successive business days, such that Tenant cannot reasonably operate its business in the Leased Premises, then, unless any such interruption is attributable to the occurrence of any event beyond Landlord's reasonable control, Tenant will be entitled to an abatement of Base Rent and Excess Expense payments from the date of such interruption, until the provision of such utility services to the Leased Premises is restored such that Tenant can operate its business in the Leased Premises. Landlord will not be liable to Tenant, nor will Tenant be relieved of any obligation hereunder if any service to the Leased Premises is interrupted for any reason beyond Landlord's reasonable control. If the interruption in the provision of utility services to the Leased Premises is caused by any event beyond Landlord's reasonable control, Landlord will provide written notice to such effect to Tenant. The Building and the Leased Premises will be equipped with an ESP after-hours exits proxy card reader system. Any other security system which may be installed or upgraded in the Leased Premises by Tenant will be managed and paid for by Tenant, subject to Landlord's prior approval as to the nature and extent of such system. Landlord will provide as part of the base Building improvements two 150 ton air cooled water chillers; 2,500 amp, 480-277 V3 phase, 4W main electrical service distributions and a 200 kilowatt emergency power generator. Any upgrade in the aforementioned facilities resulting in increased construction costs will be applied against the TI Allowance being provided to Tenant pursuant to (S)9 hereof. (S)5. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR. Landlord will maintain the Building ---------------------- (including all common areas which serve the Building) and all structural elements and mechanical systems located within the Leased Premises in a first class condition, with all systems properly functioning; provided, however, that Tenant (and not Landlord) will be required to pay all costs of maintaining the same (over and above any insurance proceeds received by Landlord to reimburse it for the cost of maintaining the same) if the need therefor arises due to the fault or negligence of Tenant or its agents, employees or guests. Landlord will also provide janitorial service to the Leased Premises five days per week in accordance with the Janitorial Specifications attached hereto as Exhibit J. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this (S)5, Tenant will be responsible and pay for all costs associated with maintaining and repairing the interior of the Leased Premises, including, without limitation, all costs associated with the painting of interior walls, the cleaning or replacing of wallcoverings and floorcoverings and the replacing of light bulbs and light fixtures. Landlord will not be liable to Tenant, nor will Tenant be relieved of any obligation hereunder if Tenant's use of the Leased Premises is interrupted as a result of Landlord's required entry into the Leased Premises -3- for the purpose of making any repairs, alterations or improvements to the structural elements or mechanical systems located within the Leased Premises (including, without limitation, the HVAC system). Landlord will be required to purchase, install, maintain and replace all Building and Leased Premises heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, equipment and installations, including, without limitation, mechanical plant for chilled water and hot water, energy management systems (if any), supply and return fans, supply and return ductwork, diffusers, heat pumps, VAV boxes and all attendant piping, wiring, thermostats, sensors and other conduits and appurtenances thereto required by the terms of this Lease and the Building Plans attached hereto as Exhibit D, other than any of the same which are hereunder defined in the next paragraph as "Equipment Room HVAC Systems" (collectively the "HVAC Systems"). The purchase, installation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the HVAC Systems will be at Landlord's sole cost and expense, except that Landlord will have the right to pass-through to Tenant all Excess Expenses and any Operating Expenses attributable to the HVAC systems, as the term "Operating Expense" is otherwise defined in this Lease. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this paragraph, Tenant will be solely responsible, at its expense, for purchasing, installing, maintaining, repairing and replacing: (i) all HVAC Systems that Tenant may need to supplement the HVAC Systems described in the immediately preceding paragraph; and (ii) all HVAC systems and equipment that are dedicated solely for use in, or service to, any special equipment room that is used solely by Tenant and which requires 24 hours per day, seven days per week, air conditioning (the equipment and systems referred to in clauses (i) and (ii), above, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Equipment Room HVAC Systems"). All or a portion of any TI Allowance provided for in (S)9 of this Lease may be used by Tenant to pay the expenses associated with the Equipment Room HVAC Systems described above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that portions of the Equipment Room HVAC System are an integral part of the Building's overall HVAC Systems for which Landlord has responsibility as described in the immediately preceding paragraph of this (S)5, then Tenant will request that Landlord install, maintain, repair and replace such portions of the Equipment Room HVAC System and Landlord will thereafter proceed to purchase, install, maintain, repair and replace such portions of the Equipment Room HVAC Systems. Upon completion of Landlord's purchase, installation, maintenance, repair or replacement of any such portions of the Equipment Room HVAC Systems pursuant to Tenant's request, Tenant will, within ten days after its receipt of a written payment demand from Landlord, promptly reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such work. (S)6. USE OF LEASED PREMISES. Tenant will use the Leased Premises ---------------------- solely for the Permitted Use. Tenant will not cause or permit any waste or damage to the Leased Premises or the Building and will not occupy or use the Leased Premises for any business or purpose which is unlawful, hazardous, unsanitary, noxious or offensive or which unreasonably interferes with the business operations of other tenants in the Building. Tenant will comply with the Rules and Regulations for the Building which are set forth in Exhibit C (and any reasonable modifications thereto which are consistent with the provisions of this Lease). Tenant will also have the non-exclusive right to use the common areas which serve the Building, including, without limitation, the Building's common lobbies, hallways, elevators, restrooms and parking areas. -4- (S)7. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Tenant will at its sole expense comply ------------------- with all laws, governmental requirements and recommended covenants or conditions which are now or hereafter in force pertaining to the Leased Premises and Tenant's occupancy and use therefor, including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended. Landlord (and not Tenant) will, at its initial expense, make any and all structural or extraordinary alterations (including without limitation, the installation of a sprinkler system in the Leased Premises) which are required to be made to the Leased Premises by law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental or quasi- governmental authority (including, without limitation, any such governmental authority charged with enforcing the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements), board of fire insurance underwriters, Landlord's insureds or any other similar authority, if such alterations are not necessitated by Tenant's particular use or occupancy of the Leased Premises. Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that, as of the Commencement Date, the Building will be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. (S)8. SIGNS. Tenant will be identified on monument signage located at ----- the front of the tract of land on which the Building is located. In addition, to the extent the park covenants for the Heathrow International Business Center and any applicable zoning or building codes permit the erection of signage on the Building itself, Landlord will provide Building signage identifying Tenant. The cost of any such Building signage will be part of the tenant improvement allowance being granted to Tenant pursuant to (S)9. The location, design and composition of the monument sign, as well as any permitted Building sign, will be consistent with the signage specifications attached hereto as Exhibit J. To the extent Tenant requests any variance from the attached signage specifications, then any such variance will be subject to Landlord's prior review and approval. Except as otherwise provided above, Tenant will not place any other sign or advertising material on the exterior of the Building, without the prior written consent of Landlord. (S)9. LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS. Landlord will construct the Building in ---------------------- substantial accordance with the building plans and specifications previously furnished to Tenant ("Building Plans"), which Building Plans are identified in Exhibit D. Landlord will use its best efforts to substantially complete the construction of the Building in such a time frame, so as to facilitate the substantial completion of the improvements to the Leased Premises by the targeted Commencement Date set forth in the Lease Summary (subject to the occurrence of the "Delay Events" defined later in this (S)9). Landlord will provide a tenant improvement allowance of $2,016,420 ("TI Allowance") for the construction of leasehold improvements to the Leased Premises below a finished ceiling ("Improvements"). To the extent the cost of the improvements ultimately approved by Landlord and Tenant is more or less than the aforementioned TI Allowance, then the annual Base Rent payable by Tenant during each year of the initial ten-year Lease Term will be increased (in the case of excess costs) or decreased (in the case of diminished costs), as the case may be, by an amount equal to 16.5% of such excess or diminished costs. Landlord and Tenant agree that, promptly following the parties' execution of this Lease, they will meet to develop approved preliminary specifications for the Improvements. Once Landlord and Tenant have approved preliminary specifications for the Improvements, Landlord will proceed with the preparation of the final architectural and engineering drawings, plans and specifications for the Improvements. Once those drawings, plans and specifications are completed, Landlord will deliver a full set thereof to Tenant -5- for its review and approval. The approved final drawings, plans and specifications ("Final Plans") will be deemed incorporated herein by its reference. If, following the approval of the Final Plans, Tenant expresses a desire to make any revisions thereto, Tenant will so notify Landlord and Landlord will then ask its general contractor to prepare a cost estimate for the making of such changes. Landlord will promptly notify Tenant of any increased costs or savings resulting from such changes and Tenant will have the right to require Landlord to cause such changes to be made to the final Plans; provided, however, that such changes will not unreasonably affect the structurally integrity or value of the Building. If the aggregate of all such changes results in a net increase or decrease in the cost of the construction of the Improvements, then any such difference will be taken into consideration in adjusting the Base Rent in the manner contemplated in the second paragraph of this (S)9. Tenant will have the right to select a bonded, licensed contractor to participate in open bidding for the contract to construct the Improvements. Landlord will keep Tenant fully apprised of and invite Tenant's participation in and review of all general contractor bids for the construction of the Improvements. Landlord will consult with Tenant with regard to the final selection of a general contractor to construct the Improvements. The general contractor ultimately selected to construct the Improvements will be a general contractor, which is reasonably acceptable to both Landlord and Tenant. If all of the bids received with respect to the construction of the Improvements are substantially higher than the TI Allowance, then Tenant will have the right to cause Landlord to revise the Final Plans and resubmit the same to the designated general contractors, asking them for a revised bid, so as to try to reduce the ultimate cost of such Improvements; provided, however, that any delay in Landlord's construction of the Improvements caused by the revision of such Final Plans and the resubmission thereof to the designated general contractors will be treated as a Tenant-caused delay within the meaning of this (S)9. Landlord agrees that all bids solicited by it from general contractors with respect to the construction of the Improvements will be required to include a schedule of values so as to facilitate the identification and computation of change orders and cost modifications. Finally, Tenant will have the right to select an independent construction management firm to supervise construction of the Improvements on Tenant's behalf, with all fees to be paid to such construction manager to be included in the TI Allowance. Landlord will cause the improvements to be constructed in accordance with the Final Plans. Landlord will conduct a "walk-through" of the Leased Premises with Tenant, so as to permit Tenant the right and opportunity to confirm that the improvements have been constructed in accordance with the Final Plans. Landlord will use its best efforts to substantially complete construction of the Improvements on or before the targeted Commencement Date set forth in the Lease Summary, subject to delays caused by the occurrence of events beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, labor troubles, inability to procure materials, restrictive governmental laws, actions and pronouncements, acts of God, unseasonable weather, Tenant's failure to timely respond to any matter submitted for its review, and Tenant's requested change orders ("Delay Events"). The establishment of the substantial completion date referred to in the immediately preceding sentence is predicated upon the various Construction Milestone Dates referred to in Exhibit E being met in a timely manner with respect to the preparation, submission and approval of all preliminary specifications and Final Plans. Tenant agrees that it will review and either review or specify its objections to any documents or drawings submitted to it for its review and approval hereunder within ten days after its receipt of the same. If Tenant fails to respond to any submission to -6- it within ten days after its receipt of the same, then it will be deemed to have approved the same for all purposes of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Landlord's inability to substantially complete the improvements on or before the targeted Commencement Date set forth in the Lease Summary is attributable to Tenant-caused delays (including, without limitation, Tenant's failure to timely respond to any matter submitted for its review, delays caused by Tenant' s requested change orders or Tenant's failure to meet the Construction Milestone Dates referred to in Exhibit E), then the Commencement Date will remain as set forth in the Lease Summary, notwithstanding the fact that the Improvements are not yet substantially completed, and Tenant will, from and after the Commencement Date, have an obligation to pay Base Rent and perform all of its other obligations and duties set forth in this Lease. If Landlord's failure to substantially complete the improvements to the Leased Premises by the targeted Commencement Date set forth in the Lease Summary is attributable to any reason other than a Tenant-caused delay (as that term is defined above), then, subject to the remaining provisions of this (S)9 with respect to the imposition of per diem penalties and the grant to Tenant of a right to terminate the Lease, the Commencement Date and the Termination Date will each be deferred by the number of days of the delay in substantially completing the improvements to the Leased Premises and Tenant's obligation to pay Base Rent and perform all of its other obligations and duties set forth in this Lease will be similarly deferred until the deferred Commencement Date hereunder. If the Leased Premises are not substantially completed by November 1, 1996, for any reason other than the occurrence of any Delay Event, then Landlord will be obligated to pay a per diem penalty to Tenant equal to $967 per day for each day after November 1, 1996 until the Leased Premises are so substantially completed. If the Leased Premises are not substantially completed by January 1, 1997, for any reason other than the occurrence of any Delay Event, then Tenant will have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of the termination thereof to Landlord on or before January 31, 1997. For the purposes of this Lease, the improvements will be deemed "substantially completed" on the earlier of the date on which Tenant occupies the Leased Premises or the date on which a certificate of occupancy for the Improvements is issued by the appropriate governmental authority. To the extent Tenant occupies a part, but not all of the Leased Premises prior to the Commencement Date as it relates to the entire Leased Premises, then all of the terms and conditions of this Lease will nonetheless apply to Tenant's occupancy of such part of the Leased Premises prior to such Commencement Date and Tenant will pay Base Rent hereunder in an amount equal to the Base Rent payable hereunder for the entire Leased Premises, multiplied by a fraction having as its numerator the number of rentable square feet so occupied by Tenant and having as its denominator the total number of rentable square feet contained within the Leased Premises. (S)10. ALTERATIONS. Except for "Minor Alterations" (as that term is ----------- hereinafter defined), Tenant may not at any time during the Lease Term make any alterations, additions or improvements to the Leased Premises, without the prior written consent of Landlord. For the purposes of this (S)10, "Minor Alterations" will mean any alteration, addition or improvement to the Leased Premises which cost less than $50,000 and which does not alter the exterior aesthetics or structural integrity of the Building. All improvements, alterations and additions made at one time in connection with any one job will be aggregated for the purposes of determining whether the $50,000 limit has been exceeded. Any alterations, additions or improvements made to the Leased Premises in accordance with this (S)10 will at -7- all times remain the property of Landlord. If Landlord consents to any proposed alteration, addition or improvement, the same will be made by Landlord at Tenant's sole expense. (S)11. MECHANICS LIENS. Tenant will indemnify and hold Landlord --------------- harmless from any liability or expense associated with its construction of any alteration, addition or improvement to the Leased Premises. In particular, Tenant will execute and record an appropriate notice of commencement pursuant to Chapter 713, Florida Statutes, identifying Tenant's interest in the Leased Premises as a leasehold interest only. Tenant will immediately discharge any mechanics lien filed against the Leased Premises or the Building in connection with any work performed by Tenant. (S)12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Except as otherwise expressly ------------------------- provided herein, Tenant will not assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of the Leased Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord. Unless otherwise agreed to by Landlord, Landlord's consent to any such assignment or sublease will not relieve Tenant from its obligations under this Lease. The consent of Landlord to any assignment of Tenant's interest in any part of this Lease or the subletting of any part of the Leased Premises will not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the Leased Premises or any part thereof to a subsidiary, affiliate or parent of Tenant, provided that any such permitted assignment or subletting will not relieve Tenant from any liability under this Lease and provided further that Tenant provides Landlord with written notice of its intention to so assign or sublet to its subsidiary, affiliate or parent corporation no later than ten days prior to its effecting of such assignment or subletting. If Landlord fails to respond to any written request made by Tenant under the terms of this (S)12 within 30 days after its receipt of such written request, then it will conclusively be deemed to have given its consent to such request by Tenant. Landlord also agrees to exempt from the foregoing assignment and subletting clause, Tenant's duty to obtain Landlord's consent for any assignment resulting from a merger, consolidation, takeover or sale of Tenant's entire business. Assignments of this Lease or the Leased Premises arising from any such merger, consolidation, takeover or sale of Tenant's entire business will not constitute a default under terms of this Lease. Tenant will, however, be required to provide Landlord with at least ten days prior written notice of the occurrence of any such merger, consolidation, takeover or sale of Tenant's entire business. (S)13. SUBORDINATION AND NONDISTURBANCE AGREEMENT. The priority of this ------------------------------------------ Lease and the leasehold estate of Tenant created hereunder are and will be subject and subordinate to the lien of any mortgage or ground lease, which may now or hereafter affect the Building and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof, and all advances thereunder, effective upon the date the mortgagee or ground lessor, as the case may be, delivers to Tenant a subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement in recordable form and otherwise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, which agreement has been executed and acknowledge by and on behalf of the mortgage or ground lessor. The subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement will provide, among other things, that so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder, Tenant may remain in possession of the Leased Premises pursuant to the terms hereof, and without any diminution of Tenant's rights should Landlord become in default with respect to such mortgage or ground lease or should the Leased Premises become the subject of any action to foreclose any mortgage or to dispossess Landlord of its interest in the -8- Building. Any fee which Landlord's lender or ground lessor may charge with respect to any such subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement will be paid by Landlord. (S)14. LIMITATION OF LANDLORD'S PERSONAL LIABILITY. Tenant will look ------------------------------------------- solely to Landlord's interest in the Leased Premises and the Building (and, to the extent appropriate, to the proceeds of insurance required to be maintained by Landlord under (S)(S)15 and 16 hereof) for the recovery of any judgment against Landlord; it being the express intent of the parties hereto that neither Landlord, nor any of its partners will ever be personally liable for any such judgment. (S)15. INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE. Landlord will not be liable for ----------------------------- and Tenant hereby releases Landlord from any liability or expense associated with any damage or injury to any person or property (including any person or property of Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant) which arises directly or indirectly in connection with the Leased Premises or Tenant's use or occupancy of the Leased Premises or any common areas serving the Building, provided, however, that the foregoing release will not extend to any liability or expense occasioned by the fault or negligence of Landlord. Tenant will indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any of the above-described liabilities and expenses; provided, however, that Tenant will not be obligated to indemnify Landlord as to any liability or expense occasioned by the fault or negligence of Landlord. Landlord will indemnify, hold harmless and defend Tenant from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, any of the same related to appeals), incurred by Tenant as the result of the negligent or willful acts or omissions of Landlord, its agents, contractors or employees or as a result of a material breach of the provisions of this Lease by Landlord. Except as otherwise provided in (S)16 hereof, nothing contained in this Lease will be construed or interpreted to excuse Landlord from having to pay damages caused to Tenant as the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's agents, contractors or employees. All property stored or placed by Tenant in or about the Leased Premises will be so stored or placed at the sole risk of Tenant. Tenant will at its sole expense maintain in full force and effect at all times during the Lease Term: (a) commercial general liability insurance for personal injury and property damage with liability limits of not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit and $2,000,000 general aggregate for property damage; and (b) fire and extended coverage insurance on all property stored or placed by Tenant in or about the Leased Premises in an amount equal to the full replacement value thereof. Each insurance policy required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder will name Landlord as an additional insured and will specifically provide that such insurance policy cannot be terminated without giving at least 30 days prior written notice to Landlord. (S)16. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waives --------------------- its right to receive damages against the other party with respect to any loss or claim occasioned by the occurrence of any casualty to the Building or the Leased Premises which is covered under a valid and collectible fire and extended coverage insurance policy. Any insurance policy procured by either Tenant or Landlord hereunder will contain an express waiver of any right of subrogation by the insurance company against Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be. Landlord will maintain in full force and effect at all times during the Lease Term: (a) comprehensive public liability insurance for personal injury and property damage with liability limits of not less than -9- $5,000,000 for injury to one person, $10,000,000 for injury from one occurrence and $2,000,000 for property damage; and (b) fire and extended coverage insurance on the Building in an amount equal to the full replacement value thereof. Each insurance policy required to be maintained by Landlord hereunder will name Tenant as an additional insured. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord's cost of maintaining such insurance will be an Operating Expense for the purposes of (S)2 of this Lease. Tenant reserves the right to periodically review the expense associated with Landlord's maintenance of the foregoing insurance coverages and to substitute comparable coverages and conditions of insurance with other carriers of Tenant's choice in the event the expense is deemed by Tenant to be excessive. (S)17. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. Tenant will not use, store or dispose of -------------------- any "hazardous substance," "hazardous material" or "toxic substance" (as those terms are defined or used in the context of Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act or any other federal, state or local environmental law, regulation or requirement) on or about the Leased Premises, except for immaterial amounts that are exempt from or do not give rise to any violation of applicable law. Tenant will indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any liability or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and expenses, court costs, expenses and costs incurred in the investigation, settlement and defense of claims and any cost or expense incurred in connection with any environmental clean-up) incurred by or claimed against Landlord as a result of Tenant's breach of the covenant contained in this section. The foregoing indemnification (as well as the indemnification set forth in (S)15 of this Lease) will survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term. Landlord hereby represents and warrants that the Building does not contain any Hazardous Substance, underground storage tank or asbestos-containing material in violation of any Federal, state or local laws, ordinances or regulations. Landlord agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless from and against any liability, loss, claim, action or expense incurred by or claimed against Tenant (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees) related to or arising out of a breach of the foregoing representation or warranty. (S)18. SURRENDER OF PREMISES. Upon the termination of Tenant's right of --------------------- possession under this Lease, Tenant will immediately surrender possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord in good repair and "broom clean" condition, excepting reasonable wear and tear and any damages caused by the elements, casualty or any other cause for which Tenant is not liable hereunder. Tenant will have the option, but not the obligation, to remove any or all of the improvements and alterations made to the Leased Premises by Tenant at Tenant's expense. Any damage to the Leased Premises resulting from the removal of such improvements or alterations will be repaired by Tenant at Tenant's sole expense. Tenant will at the same time remove all of its trade fixtures from the Leased Premises. Tenant will promptly repair any damage caused to the Leased Premises by the removal of any of such trade fixtures. (S)19. CASUALTY. If the Leased Premises is damaged by fire or other -------- casualty, the Landlord will promptly give written notice to Tenant whether the damaged area can reasonably be repaired within 180 days after the date on which all requisite permits and licenses for the repair thereof are obtained from the appropriate governmental authorities. If Landlord notifies Tenant that it does not believe that the damaged area can reasonably be repaired within such 180-day period, then both Landlord and Tenant will have the option of terminating this Lease by giving written notice thereof to the other at any time within 30 days after the date of Tenant's receipt of the aforementioned notice from Landlord. If Landlord -10- determines that the damaged area can reasonably be repaired within such 180-day period or if neither party elects to terminate this Lease despite the fact that Landlord has determined that the damaged area cannot be reasonably repaired within such 180-day period, then Landlord will proceed to repair the damaged area at its sole expense; provided, however, that Landlord will in no event be required to repair any improvements previously made to the Leased Premises by or at the request of Tenant pursuant to (S)10 hereof. If the Leased Premises are rendered untenantable in whole or in part as a result of a fire or other casualty which was not caused by Tenant, then all rent and other payments accruing after the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty and prior to the completion of the repair of the Leased Premises will be equitably and proportionately abated to reflect the untenantable portion of the Leased Premises. Landlord will not be liable to Tenant for any inconvenience or interruption to Tenant's business occasioned by such fire or other casualty or the concomitant repair of the damaged area. In addition to the termination rights given to Landlord and Tenant in the immediately preceding paragraph of this (S)19, Tenant will also have the right to terminate this Lease upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) the occurrence of any fire or other casualty during the last two years of the Lease Term it at least 50% of the rentable square feet contained within the Leased Premises are rendered untenantable as a result of the occurrence of such fire or other casualty; (b) Landlord's failure to begin its repair of any damaged area in the Leased Premises caused by such fire or other casualty within 60 days after the occurrence thereof, subject to the occurrence of any Delay Event (as that term is defined in (S)9 hereof); or (c) Landlord's failure (subject to the occurrence of any Delay Event) to complete the repair of any damaged area within 180 days after the date on which all requisite permits and licenses for the repair thereof are obtained from the appropriate governmental authorities, notwithstanding the fact that Landlord had earlier given written notice to Tenant that the damaged area could reasonably be repaired within the aforementioned 180 day period. Tenant will exercise any termination right granted to it in this paragraph by giving written notice of such termination to Landlord at any time within thirty days after the date of the occurrence of the event giving rise to Tenant's termination right hereunder. If this Lease is terminated in accordance with the provisions of this (S)19, all Base Rent, Excess Expense payments and other monetary obligations of Tenant hereunder will be prorated effective as of the date of Tenant's delivery of any such termination notice to Landlord. (S)20. CONDEMNATION. If all or any substantial portion of the Leased ------------ Premises is taken by or under threat of condemnation so as to render the Leased Premises wholly untenantable, then this Lease will automatically terminate as of the date of the vesting of title to such property in the condemning authority. If such taking does not render the Leased Premises wholly untenantable, then this Lease will not terminate but will continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, except that the Base Rent and Tenant's Proportionate Share will be adjusted to fairly reflect the portion of the Leased Premises which was so taken. Landlord will not be liable to Tenant for any inconvenience or interruption to Tenant's business occasioned by any such taking. Landlord will be entitled to receive the entire award made by the condemning authority for any such taking. Landlord will promptly notify Tenant of the institution of any condemnation proceeding affecting the Leased Premises. (S)21. HOLDING OVER. Tenant will have the right to hold over in its ------------ occupancy of the Leased Premises after the expiration of the Lease Term for a period of 90 days, provided that it has given written notice of its intention to so hold over to Landlord at least 120 days prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, and provided further that the monthly Base Rent payable by Tenant during the holdover term will -11- be 125% of the Base Rent in effect for the last month of the Lease Term. Except as otherwise provided above, Tenant will not hold over in its occupancy of the Leased Premises after the expiration of the Lease Term, without the prior written consent of Landlord. (S)22. DEFAULT. If Tenant fails to pay any installment of Base Rent or ------- any other sum payable by it hereunder within ten days after its receipt (and the receipt thereof by any guarantor of Tenant's obligations hereunder) of written notice from Landlord that any such sum is due and unpaid hereunder, or if Tenant defaults in the performance of any of its other obligations under this Lease and such default continues for 30 days after written notice thereof is given to Tenant (and any guarantor of Tenant's obligations hereunder) (unless such default is not capable of being cured within the aforementioned 30-day period, in which event, Tenant will have such longer grace period as is reasonably required to cure such default, provided that Tenant commences the cure thereof within the aforementioned 30-day period and at all times thereafter diligently pursue such cure to completion), then, in addition to any other legal rights and remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord may: (a) terminate Tenant's right of possession under this Lease and declare all Base Rent and estimated Excess Expense payments payable over the remainder of the Lease Term to be immediately due and payable; or (b) reenter and attempt to relet the Leased Premises without terminating this Lease, in which event Tenant will remain obligated to pay to Landlord any deficiency between all sums payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease and any sums collected by Landlord from any reletting of the Leased Premises (net of any sums paid by Landlord in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, leasing commissions, attorneys' fees and costs of improvements to the Leased Premises). If Landlord defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease and such default continues for thirty days after its receipt of written notice (unless such default is not capable of being cured within the aforementioned 30-day period, in which event, Landlord will have such longer grace period as is reasonably required to cure such default, provided that Landlord commences the cure thereof within the aforementioned 30-day period and at all times thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion), then, in addition to any other legal rights and remedies available to Tenant at law or in equity, Tenant will have the right to take all reasonable actions required to cure such default and Tenant may thereafter offset the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Tenant in curing such default against any Base Rent payable by Tenant hereunder. (S)23. PREVAILING PARTY'S FEES. If any legal action is commenced by ----------------------- either Landlord or Tenant, to enforce its rights hereunder, then all attorneys' fees, paralegal fees and other expenses incurred by the prevailing party in such action shall be promptly paid by the non-prevailing party. (S)24. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Lease shall be binding upon and ---------------------- inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Landlord and the successors and permitted assigns of Tenant. (S)25. NO WAIVER. No waiver of any covenant or condition of this Lease --------- by either party will be deemed to constitute a future waiver of the same or any other covenant or condition of this Lease. In order to be effective, any such waiver must be in writing and must be delivered to other party to this Lease. -12- (S)26. BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. Each of Landlord and Tenant hereby --------------------- represents and warrants that it has not dealt or consulted with any real estate broker or agent in connection with this Lease other than those real estate brokers and agents specifically identified in the Agency Disclosure Statement attached hereto as Exhibit G. Each of Landlord and Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any liability or expense occasioned by a breach of the foregoing representation. (S)27. REASONABLENESS OF CONSENT. Landlord shall not unreasonably ------------------------- withhold any consent or approval which is required to be given by it pursuant to the terms of this Lease. (S)28.

Any such notice must be personally delivered or sent by registered or certified mail, overnight courier or facsimile transmission. Any such notice will be deemed effective when received (if sent by hand delivery, overnight courier or facsimile transmission) or on the date which is three days after such notice of deposit in the United States mail (if sent by registered or certified mail). (S)31. RENEWAL OPTIONS. Tenant will have the option to renew this Lease --------------- for two renewal terms of five years each. Each such renewal option must be exercised, if at all, by Tenant's delivery of written notice of exercise to Landlord at least 150 days prior to the scheduled expiration of the then existing term (be it the initial lease term or the first renewal term). Tenant's right to renew this Lease will be conditioned upon the Lease being in full force and effect, without any default on the part of Tenant, both at the time of Tenant's exercise of such option and at the time of the scheduled commencement of such renewal term. Each such renewal term will be upon all of the same terms and conditions set forth in this Lease with respect to the initial lease term, except that the Base Rent for each year during each such renewal term will be equal to the Base Rent payable during the immediately preceding year, plus $.25 for every rentable square foot contained within the Leased Premises. With respect to each renewal term exercised by Tenant hereunder, Landlord will provide to Tenant a refurbishment allowance equal to $302,463 ($3.00 per rentable square foot contained within the Leased Premises). The amount of the refurbishment allowance will be paid to Tenant within ten days after Landlord's approval of the refurbishing plans for the Leased Premises submitted to it by Tenant. (S)32. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. If at any time during the Lease Term any ---------------------- space becomes available either in the 300 International Parkway Building or the 500 International Parkway Building ("Vacant Space"), then Landlord will promptly give written notice to Tenant of the existence of such Vacant Space. Tenant will have ten calendar days after its receipt of such written notice from Landlord in which to exercise its option to lease the Vacant Space at a rental rate and upon such other terms and conditions as are specified in this Lease with respect to the Leased Premises (including, without limitation, a provision that the term of its leasing of any such vacant space will be co-terminus with the expiration of -13- the lease term for the Leased Premises). Tenant will exercise such right of first option or first offer, if at all, by delivering written notice of its exercise of the same to Landlord within the aforementioned ten calendar day period. If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with such written notice within the aforementioned ten calendar day period or if Tenant expressly declines to exercise its right hereunder, then, in either such event, Landlord will thereafter have the unrestricted right to lease the Vacant Space to any third party at such rental rate and upon such terms and conditions as Landlord deems appropriate. If Tenant leases any additional space pursuant to this section, Landlord and Tenant will enter into an addendum to this Lease reflecting the terms and conditions specified herein for the leasing of such additional space. (S)33. EXPANSION OPTION. Effective as of the first anniversary of the ---------------- Commencement Date and as of the first day of the seventh, thirteenth, nineteenth and twenty-fifth calendar months thereafter, Tenant will have the right to lease additional space (to the extent the same is vacant and available) in either the 300 International Parkway Building, the 500 International Parkway Building or any other building owned by Landlord (or any affiliate of Landlord) in the Heathrow International Business Center ("Expansion Space"). Tenant will exercise any such expansion option, if at all, by delivering written notice of the exercise of such option to Landlord by no later than ninety days prior to the scheduled commencement date of its rental of such expansion space (as such dates are specified in the first sentence of this (S)33). Any exercise of the expansion option by Tenant hereunder must be in increments of at least 5,000 rentable square feet of space. If Tenant exercises any such expansion option, its leasing of such Expansion Space will be upon all of the same terms and conditions set forth in this Lease with respect to the Leased Premises (including, without limitation, a provision that the term of its leasing of such Expansion Space will be coterminous with the expiration of the Lease Term for the Leased Premises), except that the Base Rent will be equal to 95% of the fair market rent for comparable buildings in comparable locations and any tenant improvement allowance to be provided to Tenant will be equal to the fair market tenant improvement allowance for comparable buildings in comparable locations. If Tenant leases any additional space pursuant to this section, Landlord and Tenant will enter into an addendum to this Lease reflecting the terms and conditions specified herein for the leasing of such additional space. (S)34. CANCELLATION OPTION. Tenant will have the right to cancel this ------------------- Lease effective as of the end of the fifth year of the Initial Lease Term or effective as of the end of the seventh year of the Initial Lease Term. Tenant's exercise of any such option will be exercised, if at all, by its delivery of written notice to Landlord on or before the date which is at least 180 days prior to the scheduled effective date of such cancellation. Tenant's right to cancel this Lease will be conditioned upon the Lease being in full force and effect, without any default on the part of Tenant, both at the time of Tenant's exercise of such option and at the time of the scheduled cancellation of this Lease. It will be a condition to Tenant's exercise of either such cancellation option (that is, the cancellation option effective as of the end of the fifth year of the initial Lease Term or the cancellation option effective as of the seventh year of the Initial Lease Term) that Tenant pay to Landlord at the same time as it delivers its written notice of the exercise of such cancellation option cash in a sum equal to $2,424,520 (if the exercise of such option is effective as of the end of the fifth year of the initial Lease Term) of $1,789,970 (if the cancellation is effective as of the end of the seventh year of the initial Lease Term). To the extent the Base Rent payable by Tenant hereunder is adjusted pursuant to the provisions of (S)9, 32 or 33 of this Lease, the amount of the aforementioned cancellation penalties will also be adjusted to reflect such Base Rent adjustment in a -14- manner which is consistent with the mode of the initial calculation of the aforementioned cancellation penalties. (S)35. RELOCATION AND PLANNING EXPENSES. Landlord will provide Tenant -------------------------------- with the following allowances: (a) an amount equal to $2.00 per rentable square foot contained within the Leased Premises to defray Tenant's costs of relocating to the Leased Premises; and (b) an amount equal to $1.50 per rentable square foot of space contained within the Leased Premises to defray Tenant's costs of the preparation of space plans and all services and documentation necessary for the completion of construction documents with respect to the Leased Premises. The relocation allowance referred to in clause (a), above, will be paid by Landlord to Tenant on or before September 1, 1996. The space planning allowance referred to in clause (b), above, will be paid by Landlord to Tenant periodically after the date of the parties' execution of this Lease, upon Tenant's presentation to Landlord of invoices indicating the amount of the expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with the preparation of space plans and all construction documents related to the Leased Premises. (S)36. PARKING. Landlord will provide Tenant with 403 parking spaces, ------- of which 25 spaces will be reserved parking spaces for the senior management of Tenant. All such parking will be provided at no additional cost to Tenant. The location of the reserved spaces will be subject to mutual agreement by Landlord and Tenant. The signage identifying the existence of any reserved parking spaces will be consistent in use with the reserved parking signage presently in use at the 300 International Parkway building. (S)37. NONCOMPETITION CLAUSE. From and after the date of the parties --------------------- execution of this Lease and throughout the Lease Term so long as Tenant remains in possession of the Leased Premises without any default on Tenant's part, should Landlord lease any other space in the Building to any person, firm or corporation engaged in the same or similar type of business as that of Tenant (including vendors or distributors of products of any such person or corporation), then Tenant will have the option at any time thereafter to cancel and terminate this Lease and Tenant will have no further obligation to Landlord hereunder. (S)38. ROOFTOP ANTENNA. Tenant will have the right, at its expense, to --------------- install, maintain and remove a satellite dish-type antenna on the roof of the Building, so long as the installation thereof does not violate any applicable zoning or building codes or any restrictive covenants applicable to the business park in which the Building is located. The location of any such antennae on the roof of the Building will be subject to the prior approval of Landlord. (S)39. ZONING. Landlord represents, warrants and covenants as follows: ------ (a) the Leased Premises are presently zoned so as to permit the construction and lawful use of the Leased Premises in accordance with the provisions hereof; (b) there are sufficient parking spaces dedicated to the Building so as to comply with all applicable zoning codes; and (c) Landlord's title to the Leased Premises is not subject to any covenant, agreement, reservation, lien, easement, restriction or encumbrance, which would prohibit Tenant from using the Leased Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease. (S)40. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL TO PURCHASE BUILDING. If at any time ------------------------------------------- during the Lease Term, Landlord receives a bona fide written offer from a third party to purchase the Building ("Third Party -15- Offer"), which Landlord is willing to accept, then Landlord will notify Tenant thereof and will afford Tenant a period of thirty days in which to elect to purchase the Building on the identical terms and conditions set forth in the Third Party Offer. If Tenant gives Landlord written notice within the aforementioned thirty day period that Tenant so elects to purchase the Building, then Tenant will proceed to purchase the Building from Landlord upon the identical terms and conditions set forth in the Third Party Offer; provided that Landlord can convey good and marketable title thereto, by full warranty deed, such title being insurable by a nationally-known title company at standard rates for an ALTA policy. If Tenant declines to purchase the Building or fails to respond to Landlord's notice within the aforementioned thirty-day period, then Landlord will be free to sell the Building on the terms and conditions set forth in the Third Party Offer; provided, however, that if the Building is not sold within 90 days after the outside date for closing specified in such Third Party Offer, then Landlord will be again obligated to offer the Building for sale to Tenant as hereinabove provided. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that if the Third Party Offer involves the purchase by such third party of any properly owned by Landlord or any affiliate thereof in addition to the Building, then Tenant, as a condition precedent to its exercise of its right of first refusal hereunder, will similarly be obligated to purchase both the Building and such additional property on identical terms and conditions set forth in the Third Party Offer. In addition, if any brokerage commission is due from Landlord to Commercial First Properties, Inc. as a result of Tenant's purchase of the Building pursuant to the rights granted to it pursuant to this (S)40, then the purchase price payable by Tenant for its acquisition of the Building will be increased by the excess, if any, of any commission so payable by Landlord to Commercial First Properties, Inc., less the amount of any commission payable by Landlord to any unaffiliated real estate broker representing the Buyer under the Third Party Offer, and such excess amount will be paid in cash at closing by Tenant. (S)41. SELF-FUNDING OF TENANT IMPROVEMENTS. Tenant will have the ----------------------------------- option, if it so elects, to directly pay all costs associated with the construction of the improvements to the Leased Premises pursuant to (S)9 hereof. If Tenant desires to self-fund the cost of the construction of such Improvements, it will deliver written notice of such election to Landlord within 30 days after the parties' execution of this Lease. If Tenant fails to deliver such a written election to Landlord within the aforementioned 30-day period, then it will be deemed to have elected not to exercise such option. If Tenant exercises its option to self-fund the cost of constructing such Improvements within the aforementioned 30-day period, then it will thereafter be obligated to pay all such costs directly to the general contractor constructing such Improvements at the same time and upon the same terms and conditions set forth in the general contractor's contract for the construction thereof, a copy of which will be furnished by Landlord to Tenant. If Tenant so elects to self- fund the cost of constructing such Improvements, the following adjustments will be made in the economics of this Lease: (a) Relocation and Planning Expenses. Landlord will have no -------------------------------- obligation to pay the relocation and planning expense allowances to Tenant pursuant to (S)35 hereof, and, to the extent any portion thereof has already been paid to Tenant by Landlord, Tenant will, coincident with its exercise of its self-funding option, reimburse Landlord for the full amount of such previous payments. -16- (b) Base Rent. The Base Rent payable by Tenant pursuant to the Base --------- Rent Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A will be reduced by $1.75 per rentable square foot for each period of the lease term specified in such Base Rent Schedule (c) Cancellation Option. The cash payments required to be made to ------------------- Landlord by Tenant upon its exercise of the cancellation option pursuant to (S)34 will be reduced to $353,102 (if the exercise of such option is effective as of the end of the fifth year of the initial Lease Term) of $353,633 (if the cancellation is effective as of the end of the seventh year of the initial Lease Term). Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all of the terms and conditions of the Lease will remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, notwithstanding Tenant's exercise of its self-funding option pursuant to this (S)41.

If the plans submitted do not furnish sufficient information to adequately show the scope of the planned construction for which a permit has been requested, then there shall be furnished, in addition to the two sets of detailed plans, one set of detailed specifications for each proposed work. Both the plans and specifications, when required by law, shall be prepared by a registered architect or a registered engineer, qualified under the laws of the state to prepare the plans and specifications, and no permit therefore shall be issued until the plans, and specifications when required, have been approved by the Building and Zoning Administrator. All plans and specifications for buildings or structures to be erected in the city that are governed by state laws, must have the standard approval of the proper state authority before application is made for a permit. (B) All plans shall be drawn at a scale acceptable to the building and Zoning Administrator and shall show the following. (1) A plot plan which shall show the actual shape and dimensions of the lot or lots to be built on, the exact size and location on the lot or lots of proposed and existing buildings and accessory buildings, and the existing and intended use of each building or part of a building existing or proposed, driveway, provisions for off-street parking, and other information with regard to the lot as may be necessary to determine compliance with these regulations.

(4) When applicable, grading and drainage plans showing any and all cuts, fills, and provisions for adequately carrying off surface water on premises, plus provisions for any surface water on premises, plus provisions for any surface water which would naturally flow over or through the area. These plans shall be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer. (5) Specifications, when required, shall be full and complete as to the character of the work, structural details, strength of material, and workmanship. (6) Other information may be lawfully required by the Building and Zoning Administrator including existing or proposed building or alteration; existing or proposed uses of the building and land; the number of families, housekeeping units, or rental units the building is designed to accommodate; conditions existing on the lot; and other matters necessary to determine conformance with, and provide for the enforcement of this chapter. -11- LAKE MARY BUILDING CODE --------- ------------- (C) Two copies of the plans shall be returned to the applicant by the Building Administrator after he has marked the copies either as approved or disapproved, and attested this by his signature on the copy. One copy shall be kept on the job-site in a waterproof container. The original, similarly marked, shall be retained by the Building Administrator. (Ord. 78, passed 3-1-79) (S)150.08 EXPIRATION OF BUILDING PERMIT. - ------------------------------------------ If the work described in any building permit has not begun within six months from the date of issuance thereof, the permit shall expire and be cancelled by the Building Administrator and written notice thereof shall be given to the persons affected. If the work described in any building permit has not been substantially completed within one year of the date of issuance thereof, the permit shall expire and be cancelled by the Building Administrator and written notice thereof shall be given to the person affected, together with notice that further work as described in the cancelled permit shall not proceed unless and until a new building permit has been obtained.

Within three days after notification that a building, premises, or part thereof, is ready for occupancy or use, it shall be the duty of the Building Administrator to make a final inspection thereof. No non-conforming structure or use shall be maintained, renewed, changed, or extended until a certificate of occupancy has been issued by the Building Administrator. (B) The certificate of occupancy shall state specifically wherein the non-conforming use differs from the provisions of this chapter, provided that upon enactment or amendment of this chapter, owners or occupants of non-conforming uses or structures shall have six months to apply for certificates of occupancy. Failure to make such an application within six months shall be presumptive evidence that the property was in conforming use at the time of enactment or amendment of this chapter. Failure to obtain a certificate of occupancy will place upon the owner and lessee the entire burden of proof that the use of the land or building existed on the effective date of this chapter. (Ord. 78, passed 3-1-79) (S)150.10 CONSTRUCTION. - ------------------------- Building permits or certificates of occupancy issued on the basis of plans and applications approved by the Building and Zoning Administrator authorize only the use, arrangement, and construction set forth in the approved plans and applications, and no other use, arrangement, or construction.

(B) In the event a project owner shall consider any impact fee applicable to it to be excessive, the City Commission, on application, shall conduct a hearing to consider alleged overpayment. It shall be the duty of the project owner to demonstrate to the City Commission by clear and convincing evidence that applicable impact fees are substantially excessive as applied to the project.

If subsequent impact fees exceed the amount collected and maintained by the city under any previous building permit, then the additional sum shall be paid as a condition of and at the time of the issuance of the subsequent building permit. If the impact fees so charged are less than the impact fees initially collected and maintained, then at that time the excess shall be refunded to the applicant. In the event that no subsequent building permit shall be issued and impact fees due within six years from the date of payment of impact fees under a building permit for which construction did not take place, any impact fees so collected shall be returned to the then- present owner of the development together with interest at the rate of 5 1/2% per annum from the date of initial collection.
