STANDARD LEASE
THIS LEASE ("Lease") is made as of today of the 14th day of September,
1998, by and between BLUE LAKE, LTD., a Florida limited partnership ("Landlord")
and BEAR, INC., a Florida corporation, authorized to do business in the State of
Florida ("Tenant").
WITNESSETH:
1. PREMISES; BUILDING; AND COMMON AREAS.
A. PREMISES; BUILDING; AND COMMON AREAS. Landlord leases to Tenant
and Tenant leases from Landlord the Premises described in the Basic Lease
Information Rider (the "BLI Rider") attached to the front of this Lease and
incorporated into this Lease by this reference, and as more particularly
outlined on the floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and by this reference
incorporated herein ("Premises"). The parties hereby agree that the Premises
contain the number of Net Rentable Area set forth in the BLI Rider. The Premises
constitute a portion of the office building campus, including parking spaces,
driveways, walkways, drainage systems, utility systems, green space areas, and
other elements of the Blue Lake Corporate Center (collectively the "Building").
In addition to the Premises, Tenant has the right to use, in common with others,
the lobby, public entrances, public stairways, public areas and public elevators
of the Building (the "Common Areas"). The Common Areas serving the Building will
at all times be subject to Landlord's exclusive control and management in
accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease. In addition, the Tenant
shall be entitled to use during the term of this Lease, up to four thousand
square feet of raised flooring located in the Building and identified by
Landlord as available for the Premises. Such raised flooring shall be accepted
by the Tenant in its "as is, where is, with all faults" condition and Tenant
shall be solely responsible for removing the flooring from its current location
and installing such in the Premises. Tenant shall return the flooring to the
Landlord at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, in its current
condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
B. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Provided that no default beyond any
applicable notice and cure periods shall have occurred under this Lease, the
Landlord grants to the Tenant a right of first refusal, exercisable from the
date hereof and continuing through one (1) year prior to the expiration of the
term of this Lease, unless Tenant, prior to such one (1) year, elects to renew
the term hereof as provided in Paragraph 2B hereof, inclusive, to lease the
Expansion Premises as described on Exhibit "A-1" attached hereto and made a part
hereof upon the terms herein provided (the "Right of First Refusal Term"). If
during the Right of First Refusal Term the Landlord shall receive a BONAFIDE
third-party offer to lease all or a portion of the Expansion Premises ("Third
Party Offer"), then Landlord shall advise Tenant, in writing, of Landlord's
intention to accept such Third Party Offer and shall furnish to Tenant all of
the basic terms and conditions of such Third Party Offer (the "Landlord's
Notice"). Tenant shall thereafter have the option, within ten (10) days
following Tenant's receipt of Landlord's Notice, to exercise its Right of First
Refusal to lease not less than all of the entire Expansion Premises
(notwithstanding a Third Party Offer for the lease of less than all of the
Expansion Premises) by giving notice of its election to exercise its Right of
First Refusal in writing to Landlord (the "Tenant's Acceptance"). If Tenant
timely exercises the right of first refusal, Landlord and Tenant shall, within
five (5) business days thereafter, enter into an amendment to this Lease
affirming the covenants and conditions contained in this Lease, except that the
amendment, with respect to the Expansion Premises shall contain the applicable
business terms and conditions as contained in the Third Party Offer. If Tenant
waives or fails to exercise its right of first refusal, the Landlord may then
lease all or such portion of the Expansion Premises to any other party,
including the third party offerer on the same terms and conditions set forth in
the Landlord's notice and the Right of First Refusal shall thereafter be
terminated on a self-effectuating basis and be of no further force or effect
until the third party lease expires (after all elected renewal terms thereof)
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord may, additionally,
request the Tenant to execute a written certification of the lapse and
termination of the Right of First Refusal as herein contained.
C. NO RESERVATION. Nothing herein shall constitute a reservation or
other rights in or to the Expansion Premises or shall impose an obligation on
the Landlord to abstain from marketing the
Page 1

Blue Lake Standard Lease
Expansion Premises for lease to third parties, subject to this right of first
refusal.
2. LEASE TERM; LEASE DATE
A. GENERAL. The lease term ("Lease Term") is for the period of time
set forth in the BLI Rider, commencing on the Lease Commencement Date set forth
in the BLI Rider ("Commencement Date") and ending on the Lease expiration date
set forth in the BLI Rider ("Expiration Date"). Tenant's obligation to pay all
rent, including Base Rent, Overhead Rent and Additional Rent, (collectively,
"Rent"), as such terms are hereafter defined, will commence on the Rent
Commencement Date. Tenant shall observe and perform all of its obligations under
this Lease (except its obligations to conduct business), from the earlier to
occur of the date that the Premises are delivered to Tenant for the purpose of
commencement of the Tenant's improvements to the Premises or the date Tenant
otherwise takes possession of the Premises (until the Commencement Date) in the
same manner as though the Lease Term began when the Premises were so delivered
to Tenant. Except as specifically provided in the BLI Rider, under no
circumstances, however, may Tenant enter into possession of the Premises prior
to the earlier to occur of the date that the Premises are delivered to Tenant
for the purpose of commencement of Tenant's improvements to the Premises or the
Commencement Date without the express written consent of Landlord and subject to
any reasonable terms of the consent. Tenant shall not be required to pay Rent
(as such term is hereinafter defined) for any period prior to the Rent
Commencement Date or as otherwise stated in the BLI. However, Tenant shall pay
for all utilities and services consumed by or on behalf of Tenant prior to the
Rent Commencement Date for construction, fixturing and move-in. Upon Landlord's
request, Tenant shall execute a "Rent commencement Expiration Certification
Rider" in the form attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "I".
B. RENEWAL OPTION. Landlord grants to Tenant an option (the
"Option") to extend the term of this Lease for one (1) additional period of five
(5) years (the "Renewal Term") under the terms set forth below. Tenant shall not
be entitled to exercise the Option unless each of the following conditions shall
be fully satisfied at the time of its exercise: (i) the Lease shall be in full
force and effect; (ii) the Tenant originally named in this Lease, or its
permitted assignees, shall be in possession of the entire Premises; and (iii)
Tenant shall not then be in default under any of the material terms, provisions,
covenants or conditions of the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure
periods. In order to exercise the Option, Tenant must first give written request
to Landlord, not less than twelve (12) months prior to the Expiration Date of
the Initial Lease Term for delivery of Landlord's determination of Market Rent,
as defined below. Base Rent for each Renewal Term shall be equal to the Market
Rent, as determined in accordance with this section ("Market Rent"). Within
thirty (30) days following its receipt of Tenant's request, Landlord shall
advise Tenant of Market Rent for each year of the respective Renewal Term.
Market Rent (including escalations for successive years of the Renewal Term)
shall be determined by Landlord in its reasonable judgment. Landlord's
determination of the Market Rent shall be based, as Landlord reasonably deems
appropriate, upon then current and projected rents for space in the Building,
adjusted for any special conditions applicable to such space and leases, for
location, length of term, amount of space and other factors Landlord deems
relevant in computing rents for space in the Building, including adjustments for
anticipated inflation. Tenant may exercise its option by notifying Landlord;
within 30 days from the date on which Tenant was first advised by Landlord of
its determination of Market Rent, that Tenant has elected to exercise the Option
at the Market Rent determined by Landlord or proceed as provided below. If
Tenant exercises the Option as provided, the Expiration Date of the Lease shall
be extended for the length of the Renewal Term and Base Rent shall be adjusted
to Market Rent. If Tenant shall fail to timely exercise the Option as provided.
Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to exercise the Option and to
occupy the Premises beyond the initial Term of the Lease or beyond any
previously exercised Renewal Term of this Lease. The Base Year for the Renewal
Term shall be the first Lease year of the Renewal Term. Upon a determination of
Base Rent for the First Lease Year of the Renewal Term, Landlord and Tenant
shall agree on a Base Rent schedule, in the same format set forth in the BLI
Rider for the Initial Lease Term, for the balance of the Renewal Term, based
upon the herein above prescribed formula. Landlord's determination shall be
based, as Landlord reasonably deems appropriate, upon then current and projected
rents for space in the Building, adjusted for any special conditions applicable
to such space and leases, for location, length of term, amount of space and
other factors Landlord deems relevant in computing rents for space in the
Building, including adjustments for anticipated inflation. Any agreement of
Landlord and Tenant regarding the amount of Market Rent shall be in writing
signed by them within thirty (30) days after the date Tenant was first advised
by Landlord of its initial determination of Market Rent, in which event Tenant
shall be deemed to have exercised the Option. If Landlord and Tenant are unable
to agree upon Market Rent in writing within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant
may nevertheless exercise its option by notifying Landlord, within 30 days from
the date on which Tenant was first advised by Landlord of its initial
determination of Market Rent, that Tenant has elected to exercise the Option at
the Market Rent determined by Landlord subject to a reservation of Tenant's
right to arbitrate Landlord's determination of Market Rent in accordance with
this Section. If Tenant exercises the Option as provided, the termination date
of the Lease shall be extended for a period of five (5) years and Base Rent
shall be adjusted to Market Rent. If Tenant shall fail to timely exercise the
Option as provided, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to exercise
the Option and to occupy the Premises beyond the initial term of the Lease. If
the parties cannot agree in writing on Market Rent and Tenant timely exercises
the Option,
Page 2
------------------
Blue Lake Standard Lease
then within thirty (30) days after Tenant's exercise of the Option, Tenant and
Landlord shall each select a licensed real estate appraiser with at least ten
(10) years substantial commercial leasing expertise particularly in the this
area of Palm Beach County, Florida and notify the other party of such selection,
and the selected appraisers shall in turn select a similar third appraiser who
will determine Market Rent. If the appraisers are unable to agree on a third
appraiser within sixty (60) days after Tenant's exercise of the Option, Market
Rent shall be determined by suit for declaratory relief. The cost of the third
appraiser and any court costs shall be shared equally by the parties. If either
party fails to timely select a appraiser and notify the other party of such
selection, the other party's timely selected appraiser shall unilaterally
determine Market Rent. If Tenant elects to exercise the Option subject to its
reservation to contest Market Rent, Tenant shall nonetheless on the commencement
of the Renewal Term begin paying Base Rent at the Market Rate determined by
Landlord. If Market Rent is ultimately determined to be other than the amount
initially determined by Landlord, the next due payment or payments of Rent shall
be appropriately adjusted to reflect such overpayment or underpayment
retroactive to commencement of the Renewal Term.
3. RENT
A. BASE RENT. Beginning on the Rent Commencement Date, and
continuing during the Lease Term, Tenant will pay to Landlord in lawful It is
estimated that on or before March 31 following a United States Currency as the
base rent for the Premises ("Base Rent") the amounts set forth in the BLI Rider,
with same being payable without demand, setoff or deduction except as otherwise

Rider, plus applicable sales and other such taxes as are now or later enacted.
All payments of Base Rent, Overhead Rent, (and Security Deposits if subsequently
applicable during the Lease Term), and any other sums due from Tenant under this
Lease shall be made by wire transfer to such account as may be designated (or
re-designated from time to time) by Landlord's written notice. Such Rent shall
be immediately payable to Landlord upon written demand and any failure to so
pay, subject to the grace provisions set forth in Section 3, shall constitute an
Event of Default.
B. OVERHEAD RENT Beginning on the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant
shall pay Tenant's Share, as defined in the BLI Rider, of (I) the total amount
of the annual Operating Expenses (as hereafter defined). And (ii) the total
amount of Taxes (as hereafter defined). As used herein, "Overhead Rent" means
the total of Tenant's allocated Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes.
B.1. "CAP" ON CONTROLLABLE OPERATING EXPENSES. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event shall the Tenant's share of the Controllable
Operating Expenses be increased by more than eight (8%) percent, on a
non-cumulative basis, from that charged to the Tenant, as part of Overhead Rent,
for the immediately preceding calendar year. Increases in Operating Expenses
that are not deemed "controllable" as defined hereunder shall not be limited by
the foregoing sentence. Controllable Operating Expenses do not include (i)
Taxes, (ii) utility charges and fees (including, but not limited to, water,
sewer, electrical, telephone, chilled water and ventilation and air-conditioning
charges, cable communications and the like), (iii) premiums for any increases in
insurance contracted for by Landlord to the extent that any such increases shall
be a commercially reasonable judgment by Landlord, and in conformance with
responsible management customary for a Building of the size, nature and
character of the Building; (iv) minimum wage changes, and (v) costs resulting
from changes in law, to the extent however that any such cost is incurred as to
an item which is otherwise chargeable as an Operating Expense and is not
otherwise an exclusion from Operating Expenses.
B.2. ESTIMATES OF OVERHEAD RENT. Prior to each subsequent
calendar year; beginning with the calendar year immediately following the Base
Year, Landlord shall, in advance, reasonably estimate for each such calendar
year the total amount of the Overhead Rent. One-twelfth (1/12) of the estimated
Overhead Rent shall be payable monthly, along with the monthly payment of the
Base Rent. B. Overhead Rent Beginning on the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant
shall pay Tenant's Share, as defined in the BLI Rider, of (i) the total amount
of the annual Operating Expenses (as hereafter defined) and (ii) the total
amount of Taxes (as hereafter defined). As used herein, "Overhead Rent" means
the total of Tenant's allocated Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes.
B.3. RECONCILIATION STATEMENT. It is estimated that on or before
March 31 following a calendar year for which Overhead Rent is payable hereunder,
Landlord shall provide Tenant with a reconciliation statement showing the amount
of the actual components of Overhead Rent for the immediately previous calendar
year only. Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence,
should Landlord fail to provide Tenant with a reconciliation statement by June
30 for the immediately preceding calendar year, Tenant shall have no further
liability for any additional payment to Landlord that would otherwise be
reflected and required in the said reconciliation statement for the preceding
year. If the reconciliation statement reflects an underpayment in either
component of Overhead Rent, Landlord shall also deliver to Tenant an invoice
which Tenant shall pay within thirty (30) days following receipt of such
invoice. If the reconciliation statement reflects an overpayment in either
component of Overhead Rent, Tenant shall be entitled to either, at Landlord's
option, to a credit against the next month's payment of Rent together with a
refund check from Landlord for the balance of such overpayment or a refund check
from the Landlord for the entire amount of such overpayment If the Lease has
expired, the overpayment shall be refunded. In no event shall the Base Rent
under this Lease be reduced by virtue of this Section. As used in this paragraph
3., the following terms shall have the following meanings:

the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its
agents, employees or contractors), or if the quantity or character of the
electric energy supplied by the Electric Service Provider or any Alternate
Service Provider is no longer available or suitable for Tenant's requirements,

security provisions may be suspended or modified at Landlord's sole discretion

quality as the original, including but not limited to interior windows, glass
and plate glass, doors, skylights, any, special office entries, interior walls
and finish work, floors and floor coverings, heating and air conditioning,
electrical systems and fixtures, sprinkler systems, water heaters, truck doors,
and plumbing work and fixtures, all of the foregoing systems inside the
Premises. Tenant as part of its obligation hereunder shall keep the whole of the
Premises in a clean and sanitary condition. Tenant will as far as possible keep
all such parts of the Premises from Deteriorating, ordinary wear and tear
excepted, and from falling temporarily out of repair, and upon termination of
this Lease in any way. Tenant will yield up the Premises to Landlord in good
condition and repair, loss by fire or other casualty covered by insurance to be
secured pursuant to section 14 excepted (but not excepting any damage to glass
or loss not reimbursed by insurance because of the existence of a deductible
under the appropriate policy, ordinary wear and tear excepted). Tenant shall not
damage any demising wall or disturb the integrity and supports provided by any
demising wall and shall, at its sole cost and expense, properly repair any
damage or injury to any demising wall caused by Tenant or its employees, agents
or invitees. Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, as additional rent, pay
for the repair of any damage to the Premises or the Building, resulting from
and/or caused in whole or in part by the negligence or misconduct of Tenant, its
agent, servants, employees, patrons, customers, or any other person entering
upon the Building as a result of Tenant's business activities caused by Tenant's
default hereunder.
C. REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE; MISCELLANEOUS. Notwithstanding Anything
to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord shall have no responsibility to repair
or maintain the Building, any of its components, the Common Areas, the Premises,
or any fixture, improvement, trade fixture, or any item of personal property
contained in the Building, the Common Areas, and/or the Premises if such repairs
or maintenance are required because of the occurrence of any of the following:
(i) the improper acts, misuse, improper conduct, omission or neglect of Tenant
or Tenant's Agents, or (ii) the conduct of business in the Premises. Should
Landlord elect to make repairs or maintenance occasioned by the occurrence of
any of the foregoing, Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent all such reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to
reasonably approve in advance all work, repair, maintenance or otherwise, to be
performed under this Lease by Tenant and all of Tenant's repairmen, contractors,
subcontractors and suppliers performing work or supplying materials. Tenant
shall be responsible for all permits, inspections and certificates for
accomplishing the above. Tenant shall obtain lien waivers for all work done in
or to the Premises, by contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers retained by
Tenant.
11. TENANT'S ALTERATIONS
A. GENERAL. During the Lease Term, Tenant will make no alterations,
additions or improvements in or to the Premises or the Building envelope,
structure, roof, mechanical and plumbing systems, electrical systems, or any
area in which asbestos has been located (as noted in the Environmental Report
(as hereinafter defined) or as identified in writing by the Landlord), and will
perform no work the cost of which is in excess of $20,000.00 in the aggregate
(any and all of such alterations, additions or improvements other than those set
forth in the Work Letter attached hereto are collectively referred to in this
Lease as the "Alteration(s)", and the foregoing Alterations collectively
referred to as "Major Alterations"), without the prior written consent of
Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant shall submit
to Landlord detailed drawings and plans of the proposed Major Alterations at the
time Landlord's consent is sought. Upon Landlord's consent to any proposed Major
Alterations by Tenant, such consent will be conditioned upon Tenant's agreement
to comply with all reasonable requirements established by Landlord, including
safety requirements and the matters referenced in Section 22 of this Lease. All
Alterations shall be done in compliance with all other applicable provisions of
this Lease and with all applicable laws, ordinances, directives, rules and
regulations of government or authorities having jurisdiction, including, without
limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Florida Accessibility
Code, and all laws dealing with the abatement, storage, transportation and
disposal of asbestos or other hazardous materials, which work, shall be effected
by contractors and consultants reasonably approved by Landlord and in compliance
with all applicable laws and with
Page 10
------------------
Blue Lake Standard Lease
Landlord's rules and regulations. Tenant may provide Landlord with a list of
proposed contractors and consultants regularly engaged by Tenant for minor
Alterations such as carpeting, painting, and low voltage wiring. Once such list
has been approved by Landlord, the Tenant shall not be required to obtain
separate approvals for such contractors and consultants for each such minor
Alterations project. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section, Tenant shall not penetrate or disrupt the structural columns of the
Building located within the Premises; and shall not penetrate or disrupt any
area within three (3) feet of any structural column in performing any
Alterations, without Landlord's prior written consent which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. All Material Alterations shall be performed by
those pre-qualified architects and contractors designated by Landlord as
approved for the Blue Lake Corporate Center, a list of which are attached hereto
and made a part hereof as Exhibit "B-3", which list is subject to amendment from
time-to-time. If Tenant elects to remove any Major Alterations at the expiration
of the Lease, Tenant shall repair any and all damage caused to the Premise by
such removal. Additionally, prior to the commencement of any work by or for
Tenant, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord certificates evidencing the existence
of builder's risk, comprehensive general liability, and worker's compensation
insurance complying with the requirements of Insurance Section of this Lease.
Any damage to any part of the Building that occurs as a result of any
Alterations shall be repaired by Tenant, as soon as reasonably practicable, to
the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord. Tenant and its contractor and all other
persons performing any Alterations shall abide by the Landlord's reasonable job
site rules and regulations and reasonably cooperate with Landlord's construction
representative in coordinating all of the work in the Building including,
without limitation, the hours of work, parking, and use of the construction
elevator. Landlord shall not charge any other fee to Tenant in respect of
Landlord's construction representative. All alterations will comply with the
requirements of any energy efficiency program offered by the electric service
provided to the Building to the extent practicable. All materials used in any
Major Alterations, including, without limitation, paint, carpet, wall or window
coverings, carpet glues, and any other chemicals shall be subject to Landlord's
prior written reasonable approval. All alterations shall be done in a good and
workmanlike manner. Tenant shall, prior to the commencement of any Alterations,
obtain and exhibit to Landlord any governmental permit required for the
Alterations. Within ten (10) days after completion of any Alteration, Tenant
shall deliver to the Landlord, copies of any plans and specifications for such
Alteration. All contractors, sub-contractors, mechanics, laborers and
materialmen shall be put on notice of and shall be subject to the fact that
Tenant is not authorized to subject Landlord's interest in the Building or the
Premises to any claim for construction, mechanics, laborer's and materialman's
liens and all persons dealing directly or indirectly with Tenant may not look to
the Landlord's interest in the Premises as security for payment, all as more
fully provided in Section 26 of this Lease.
B. ALTERATION COSTS.
(1) Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent (or to its
nominee or designated contractor, as Landlord may direct) in connection with all
Major Alterations (other than the initial tenant improvements) reasonable fees
and costs of Landlord's engineers, architects, and construction managers for
review and approval of all plans and specifications for such Major Alteration,
and for all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord as a result
of or in connection with each such Major Alteration, based on an hourly fee and
reasonable and customary hours expended for each such Major Alteration.
(2) The Major Alteration costs shall be paid monthly installments
during the course of the performance of the Major Alteration, within thirty (30)
days from receipt of Landlord's reasonably detailed invoice. Within thirty (30)
days after completion of the Major Alteration, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
entire balance of the Major Alteration costs if not theretofore paid in full.
12. LANDLORD'S ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS
Landlord has the right to make changes in and about the Building and
parking areas, including, but not limited to, signs, entrances, address or name
of Building. Such changes may include, but not be limited to, rehabilitation,
redecoration, refurbishment and refixturing of the Building and expansion of or
structural changes to the Building. The right of Tenant to quiet enjoyment and
peaceful possession given under the Lease will not be deemed breached or
interfered with by reason of Landlord's actions pursuant to this paragraph so
long as such actions do not materially deprive Tenant of its use and enjoyment
of the Premises. If Landlord voluntarily changes the street address of the
Building, then Landlord will reimburse Tenant for all reasonable expenses
incurred by Tenant in connection with reprinting stationery, business cards, and
brochures due to such change (but not to exceed $5,000.00), unless Landlord
provides Tenant at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior written notice of
such change.
13. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
A. LANDLORD'S CONSENT REQUIRED. Except as provided below with
respect to assignment of this Lease following Tenants bankruptcy, neither
Tenant, nor Tenant's legal representatives or successors-in-interest by
operation of law or otherwise will effect a "Transfer", as herein defined
without first obtaining the consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord shall
not unreasonably withhold or delay provided that all of the requirements of
paragraph B. of this Section 13 are satisfied. As used in this Section 13, any
of the following shall be deemed to be a Transfer ("Transfer"): assignment of
this Lease, in whole or in part; sublet of all or any part of the Premises; any
license allowing anyone other than Tenant to use or occupy all or any part of
the

------------------
Blue Lake Standard Lease

interest in this Lease; any transfer of corporate shares as described in
paragraph C. of this Section 13; or any transfer of partnership interest as
described in paragraph D. of this Section 13. Consent by Landlord to any
transfer shall not constitute a waiver of the requirement for such consent to
any subsequent transfer. Upon such approved assignment, Tenant shall not be
released from its obligations hereunder arising after such assignment has been
accomplished, unless the approved assignee specifically assumes, in writing, for
the benefit of the Landlord, all such obligations, in which event Tenant shall
be released of all such obligations hereunder.
B. CONDITIONS FOR TRANSFER APPROVAL. Unless all of the following
conditions are satisfied, Landlord withholding of consent will be deemed
reasonable:
(1) In Landlord's reasonable judgment, the proposed assignee or
subtenant or occupant is engaged in a business or activity, which (a) is in
keeping with the then zoning requirements, (b) is limited to the use of the
Premises as set forth in the BLI Rider, and (c) will not violate any negative
covenant as to use contained in any other lease of office space in the Building;

or create any potential violation of any laws or any other agreements affecting
the Premises, the Building, the Landlord or other tenants;
(2) The proposed transferee is a reputable person of good
character, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, and has sufficient financial
wherewithal to discharge its obligations under this Lease and/or the proposed
Agreement of Assignment or the Sublease.
(3) The form of the proposed sublease or instrument of assignment
or occupancy shall be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and shall comply with
the applicable provisions of this Section;
(4) There shall not be more than a total of three (3) occupying
entities (including Tenant and any assignee or sublessee requiring approval by
Landlord hereunder) of the Premises; and
(5) The proposed subtenant or assignee or occupant shall not be
entitled, directly or indirectly, to diplomatic or sovereign immunity and shall
be subject to the service of process in, and the jurisdiction of the courts of
the State of Florida.
(6) Such transferee (if an assignment) shall assume in writing,
in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, all of Tenant's obligations
hereunder and Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of such assumption/
transfer document;
(7) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all of its reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred with respect to the transfer, not to
exceed $5,000.00.
(8) Tenant to which the Premises were initially leased shall
continue to remain liable under this Lease for the performance of all terms,
including but not limited to, payment of Rental due under this Lease;
(9) Tenant's Guarantor, if any, shall continue to remain liable
under the terms of the Guaranty of this Lease and, if Landlord deems it
necessary, such guarantor shall execute such documents necessary to insure the
continuation of its guaranty;
(10) Each of Landlord's Mortgagees shall have consented in
writing to such transfer.
(11) Tenant shall give notice of a requested transfer to
Landlord, which notice shall be accompanied by (a) a conformed or photostatic
copy of the proposed assignment or sublease, the effective or commencement date
of which shall be at least thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice, (b)
a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the identity of the proposed
assignee or subtenant, the nature of its business and its proposed use of the

assignee or subtenant, including, without limitation, its most recent financial
report and (d) such other information as Landlord may reasonably request.
(12) The proposed use of the Premises by the Transferee will not
require increased services from the Landlord from that provided to Tenant under
the Lease.
(13) Then sublease or assignment will not violate any exclusivity
clause contained in any lease affecting any portion of the Building.
C. TRANSFER OF CORPORATE SHARES. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet all or
any portion of the Premises from time to time, without Landlord's consent, to
any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant, or to
any successor of Tenant resulting from a merger or consolidation of Tenant, or
as a result of a sale by Tenant of all or substantially all of its assets or
stock, provided that no such transfer shall relieve Tenant or the Guarantor from
any liability under this Lease, whether accrued to the date of such transfer or
thereafter accruing. In addition, any change in the controlling interest in the
stock of Tenant as a result of an initial public offering of Tenant's stock, and
any transfer of the capital stock of Tenant by persons or parties through the
"over-the-counter market" or through any recognized stock exchange, shall not be
deemed to be a transfer requiring Landlord's consent. Landlord shall not be
entitled to receive any portion of
Page 12
------------------
Blue Lake Standard Lease
the Transfer consideration as described below arising out of an assignment or
sublease not requiring Landlord's consent. Tenant shall provide written notice
of such assignment or subletting, together with the name and address of the
assignee or subtenant, five (5) days prior to the assignment or subletting to
the extent permitted by law, but in no event more than ten (10) days after such
assignment or subletting.
D. ACCEPTANCE OF RENT FROM TRANSFEREE. The acceptance by Landlord of
the payment of Rent following any assignment or other transfer prohibited by
this Section shall not be deemed to be a consent by Landlord to any such
assignment or other transfer nor shall the same be deemed to be a waiver of any
right or remedy of Landlord hereunder. Following a permitted sub-lease, if
Tenant breaches any of the terms and provisions of this Lease, Landlord may
elect to receive directly from the Sub-tenant due or payable to Tenant by
Sub-Tenant pursuant to the Sub-Lease, and upon receipt of a written notice from
Landlord referencing this section, Sub-Tenant shall have to pay to Landlord any
and all sums becoming due or payable under the Sub-Lease. Tenant shall receive
from Landlord a corresponding credit for such sums against any payments then due
or thereafter becoming due from Tenant. Neither the giving of such written
notice to Sub-Tenant nor the receipt of such direct payments from the Sub-Tenant
shall cause the Landlord to assume any of Tenant's duties, obligations, and/or
liabilities under any sublease, nor shall such event impose upon Landlord the
duty or obligation to honor the sublease or subsequently to accept Sub-Tenant's
attornment.
E. If, this Lease is purported to be assigned, without the consent
of the Landlord, or the Premises are sublet or occupied by anyone other than
Tenant, Landlord may accept rents from the assignee, subtenant or occupant and
apply the net amount received to the Rent reserved in this Lease, but no such
assignment, subletting, occupancy or acceptance of Rent shall be deemed a waiver
of the requirement for Landlord's consent as contained in this section or
constitute a novation or otherwise release Tenant from its obligations under
this Lease.
F. If Landlord shall consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall in
consideration therefor, pay to Landlord as Additional Rent, an amount equal to
one hundred (100%) percent of the Transfer Consideration, or Landlord may elect
to recapture the Transferred portion of the Premises and terminate this Lease
with respect to that portion only. For purposes of this paragraph, the term
Transfer consideration shall mean in any Lease Year (i) any rents, additional
charges or other consideration payable to Tenant by the transferee of the
Transfer which is in excess of the Base Rent and Overhead Rent accruing during
such Lease Year, net of the reasonable costs incurred by Tenant in connection
with the Transfer including but not limited to reasonable fees paid to Tenant's
attorneys and accountants with respect to the Transfer, broker commissions, and
advertising costs associated therewith, and improvement costs. Landlord shall
have the right to audit Tenant's books and records during normal business hours,
at a location in South Florida reasonably designated by Tenant, upon reasonable
notice to determine the amount of Transfer Consideration payable to Landlord. In
the event such audit reveals an understatement of Transfer Consideration in
excess of five percent (5%) of the actual Transfer Consideration due Landlord,
Tenant shall pay for the cost of such audit within ten (10) business days after
Landlord's written demand for same otherwise, Landlord shall be solely
responsible for the costs of such audit.
G. Any permitted sublease shall provide: (i) the subtenant shall
comply with all applicable terms and conditions of this Lease to be performed by
Tenant (except as to Rent); (ii) the sublease is expressly subject to all of the
terms and provisions of this Lease; and (iii) unless Landlord elects otherwise,
the sublease will not survive the termination of this Lease (whether voluntarily
or involuntarily) or resumption of possession of the Premises by Landlord
following a default by Tenant. The sublease shall further provide that if
Landlord elects, the sublease shall further survive a termination of this Lease
or resumption of possession of the Premises by Landlord following a default by
Tenant, the subtenant will, at the election of Landlord, attorn to the Landlord
and continue to perform its obligations under its sublease as if this Lease had
not been terminated and the sublease were a direct lease between the Landlord
and subtenant. The sublease shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Landlord's lawyer. Any permitted assignment of lease shall
contain an assumption by the Assignee of all terms, covenants and conditions of
this Lease to be performed by the Tenant and shall otherwise be in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord's lawyer.
H. BUILDING DIRECTORY ADDITIONS. The listing or posting of any name,
other than that of Tenant, whether on the door or exterior wall of the Premises,
the Building's tenant directory in the lobby or elevator, or elsewhere shall not
(i) constitute a waiver of Landlord's rights to withhold consent of any sublease
or assignment pursuant to this Section 13; (ii) be deemed an implied consent by
Landlord to any sublease of the Premises or any portion thereof, to any
assignment or transfer of the Lease, or to any unauthorized occupancy of the
Premises, except in accordance with the express terms of that Lease; or (iii)
operate to vest any right or interest in the Lease or in the Premises. Any such
listing as described in this subsection shall constitute a privilege extended by
Landlord to Tenant and shall be immediately revocable at Landlord's will by
notice to Tenant.
14. TENANT'SINSURANCE COVERAGE
A. GENERAL. Tenant agrees that, at all times during the Lease Term
(as well as prior and subsequent thereto if Tenant or any of Tenant's Agents
should then use or occupy any portion of the Premises), it will keep in force,
with an insurance company licensed to do business in the State of Florida, and
at least A+lX-rated in the most current
Page 13
------------------
Blue Lake Standard Lease
edition of Best's Insurance Reports and acceptable to Landlord, (i) without
deductible in excess of $5,000.00, comprehensive general liability insurance,
including coverage for bodily injury and death, property damage and personal
injury and contractual liability as referred to below, in the amount of not less
than the amount set forth in the BLI Rider, combined single limit per occurrence
for injury (or death) and damages to property, (ii) with deductible of not more
than Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00), insurance on an "All Risk or Physical
Loss" basis, including sprinkler leakage, vandalism, malicious mischief, fire
and extended coverage, covering all improvements to the Premises, fixtures,
furnishings, removable floor coverings, equipment, signs and all other
decoration or stock in trade, in the amounts of not less than the full
replacement value thereof, and (iii) workmen's compensation and employer's
liability insurance, if required by statute. Such policies will: (i) include
Landlord, Landlord's Lender, and Landlord's affiliates, or such other parties as
Landlord may reasonably designate as additional insured's, (ii) be considered
primary insurance, (iii) include within the terms of the policy or by
contractual liability endorsement coverage insuring Tenant's indemnity
obligations under paragraph 19 for bodily injury and property damage, and (v)
provide that it may not be canceled or changed without at least thirty (30) days
prior written notice from the company providing such insurance to each party
insured thereunder. Tenant will also maintain throughout the Lease Term worker's
compensation insurance with not less than the maximum statutory limits of
coverage.
B. EVIDENCE. The insurance coverages to be provided by Tenant will
be for a period of not less than one year. At least thirty (30) days prior to
the Commencement Date, Tenant will deliver to Landlord original certificates of
all such paid-up insurance; thereafter, at least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of any policy Tenant will deliver to Landlord such original
certificates as will evidence a paid-up renewal or new policy to take the place
of the one expiring. Any insurance required of Tenant under this Lease may be
furnished by Tenant under an umbrella or blanket policy carried by Tenant. Such
umbrella or blanket policy shall contain an endorsement that names Landlord as
an additional insured, references the Premises, and provides for a minimum limit
available for the Premises equal to the insurance amounts required in the Lease.
15. LANDLORD'S INSURANCE COVERAGE
A. GENERAL. Landlord will at all times during the Lease Term
maintain a policy or policies of insurance insuring the Building against loss or
damage by fire, explosion or other hazards and contingencies typically covered
by insurance for an amount acceptable to the mortgagees encumbering the
Building. Landlord reserves the right, in its reasonable business judgement, to
self insure in lieu of maintaining such policies.
B. TENANT'S ACTS. Tenant will not do or permit anything to be done
upon or bring or keep or permit anything to be brought or kept upon the Premises
which will increase Landlord's rate of insurance on the Building. If by reason
of the failure of Tenant to comply with the terms of this Lease, or by reason of
Tenant's occupancy (even though permitted or contemplated by this Lease), the
insurance rate shall at any time be higher than it would otherwise be, Tenant
will reimburse Landlord for that part of all insurance premiums charged because
of such violation or occupancy by Tenant. Tenant agrees to comply with any
reasonable requests or recommendation made by Landlords insurance underwriter
inspectors.
C. EXCLUSIONS. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord will not carry
insurance on tenant improvements, furniture, furnishings, trade fixtures,
equipment installed in or made to the Premises by or for Tenant, in accordance
with the Work Letter attached hereto, and Tenant agrees that Tenant, and not
Landlord, will be obligated to promptly repair any damage thereto or replace the
same.
16. WAIVER OF RIGHT OF RECOVERY Except as otherwise provided in this
Lease, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable to the other for any damage
to any building, structure or other tangible property, or any resulting loss of
income, or losses under worker's compensation laws and benefits, even though
such loss or damage might have been occasioned by the negligence of such party,
its agents or employees. The provisions of this Section shall not limit the
indemnification for liability to third parties pursuant to Section 19. As used
in this section 16.A., "damage" refers to any loss, destruction or other damage.
17. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION BY CASUALTY
A. LANDLORD'S ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO TERMINATE. If by fire or other
casualty the Premises or the Building is damaged or destroyed to the extent of
Twenty Five (25%) Percent or more of the insured value thereof but in the
reasonable estimation of Landlord made within thirty (30) days of the fire or
casualty cannot be restored in less than two hundred ten (210) days from the
date of Landlord's notice, Landlord or Tenant will have the option of
terminating this Lease or any renewal thereof by serving written notice upon the
other within ninety (90) days from the date of the casualty and any prepaid Rent
or Additional Rent will be prorated as of the date of destruction and the
unearned portion of such Rent will be refunded to Tenant without interest. If
neither party elects to terminate, Landlord shall promptly commence to restore
and diligently and continuously complete within such two hundred and ten (210)
days.
B. QUALIFIED RIGHT TO TERMINATE. In addition to the foregoing, if
this Lease is not cancelled and the Landlord undertakes such reconstruction or
repair but does not complete the reconstruction or repair within two hundred ten
(210)
Page 14
------------------
Blue Lake Standard Lease
days after the date of the fire or other casualty, then the Tenant shall have
the additional right to terminate this Lease by written notice to the Landlord
delivered within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such two hundred ten
(210) day period.
C. OBLIGATION TO RESTORE. If by fire or other casualty either the
Premises or the Building is destroyed or damaged, but only to the extent of less
than Twenty-Five (25%) Percent of the insured value of the Premises or the
Building (as applicable), and more than one (1) year remains in either the
initial Lease Term or Renewal Term, as applicable, then Landlord will restore
the Premises within ninety (90) days of the date of the fire or other casualty
subject to events of force majeure.
D. RENT ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of restoration by Landlord, all
Base Rent and Additional Rent paid in advance shall be apportioned as of the
date of damage or destruction and all such Base Rent and Additional Rent as
above described, thereafter accruing, shall be equitably and proportionally
adjusted according to the nature and extent of the destruction or damage,
pending substantial completion of rebuilding, restoration or repair. In the
event the destruction or damage is so extensive as to make it impossible for
Tenant to conduct Tenant's business in the Premises, Rent and Additional Rent
will be fully abated until the Premises are substantially restored by Landlord
or until Tenant resumes use and occupancy of the Premises, whichever shall first
occur. In lieu of abating Rent and Additional Rent, as provided above, Landlord
shall have the right to temporarily or permanently relocate Tenant to another
space reasonably acceptable to Tenant. Landlord will not be liable for any
damage, whether proximate or consequential, to, or any inconvenience or
interruption of the business of Tenant or Tenant's Agents, occasioned by fire or
other casualty except to the extent caused by the negligence or its willful
misconduct of the Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors.
E. QUALIFICATIONS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's
obligation to restore exists (i) only if and/or to the extent, that the
insurance proceeds received by Landlord are sufficient to compensate Landlord
for its restoration costs and/or (ii) the area unaffected by the casualty may,
as determined by Landlord's reasonable business judgment, be restored as a
profitable, and self functioning unit.
18. CONDEMNATION AND EMINENT DOMAIN
A. ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO TERMINATE. If all or a material part of the
Premises or the Building or the parking spaces is taken for any public or
quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation or by right
of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof, and the taking would prevent
or materially interfere with the use of the Premises for the purpose for which
they are then being used, this Lease will terminate and the Rent will be abated
during the unexpired portion of this Lease effective on the date physical
possession is taken by the condemning authority and any unearned portion of Rent
prepaid will be refunded to Tenant. Tenant will have no claim to the
condemnation award, other than as to its Tenant Improvements, trade fixtures,
moving expenses, and other out of pocket damages so long as such does not
diminish the Landlord's award.
B. OBLIGATION TO RESTORE. In the event an immaterial part of the
Premises or the Building or the parking spaces is taken for any public or
quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by
right of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof, and this Lease is not
terminated as provided in subsection A above, then Landlord shall, subject to
the remaining provisions of this Section, at Landlord's expense, as soon as
reasonably practicable, restore the portion of the Premises (for which Landlord
receives the condemnation award pursuant hereto) and the Building to the extent
necessary to make them reasonably tenantable. The Rent payable under this Lease
during the unexpired portion of the Lease Term shall be adjusted to such an
extent as may be fair and reasonable under the circumstances. Tenant shall have
no claim to the condemnation award with respect to the leasehold estate but, in
a separate proceeding, may make a separate claim for trade fixtures and tenant
improvements installed in the Premises by and at the expense of Tenant and
Tenant's moving expense. In no event will Tenant have any claim for the value of
the unexpired Lease Term.
C. QUALIFICATIONS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's
obligation to restore exists (i) only if and/or to the extent, that the
condemnation or similar award received by Landlord is sufficient to compensate
Landlord for its loss and its restoration costs and/or (ii) the area unaffected
by the condemnation or similar proceeding may, as determined by Landlord's
reasonable business judgment, be restored as a profitable, and self functioning
unit.
19. LIMITATION OF LANDLORD'S LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION
A. PERSONAL PROPERTY. All personal property placed or moved into the
Building will be at the sole risk of Tenant or other owner. Landlord will not be
liable to Tenant or others for any damage to person or property arising from
theft, vandalism, air-conditioning malfunction, the bursting or leaking of water
pipes, any act or omission of any cotenant or occupant of the Building or of any
other person, or otherwise, except to the extent caused by the negligence or
willful misconduct of the Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors.
B. LIMITATIONS. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this
Lease: (i) Tenant will look solely (to the extent insurance coverage is not
applicable or available) to the interest of Landlord (or its successor as
Landlord hereunder) in the Building (including proceeds of sale, insurance and
condemnation) for the satisfaction of any judgment or other judicial process
requiring the payment of money
Page 15
------------------
Blue Lake Standard Lease
as a result of any negligence or breach of this Lease by Landlord or its
successor or of Landlord's managing agent (including any beneficial owners,
partners, corporations and/or others affiliated or in any way related to
Landlord or such successor or managing agent) and Landlord has no personal
liability hereunder of any kind.
C. INDEMNITY. Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Landlord and its agents from and against all claims, causes of actions,
liabilities, judgments, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, including appellate proceedings and
bankruptcy proceedings, incurred or suffered by Landlord and arising from or in
any way connected with the Premises or the use thereof or any acts, omissions,
neglect or fault of Tenant or any of Tenant's Agents, including, but not limited
to, any breach of this Lease or any death, personal injury or property damage
occurring in or about the Premises or the Building or arising from environmental
Concerns, as hereafter defined, except to the extent caused by the Landlord, its
agents, employees, or contractors. Tenant will reimburse Landlord upon request
for all costs incurred by Landlord in the interpretation and enforcement of any
provisions of this Lease and/or the collection of any sums due to Landlord under
this Lease, including collection of agency fees, and reasonable attorneys' fees
and costs, regardless of whether litigation is commenced, and through all
appellate actions and proceedings, including bankruptcy proceedings, if
litigation is commenced. The foregoing claims, causes of actions, liabilities,
judgments, damages, losses, costs and expenses shall include but not be limited
to any of same arising from Tenant's failure to comply with any of the
requirements of Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") or Florida Accessibility
Code ("FAC")within the Premises and/or any and all claims or liability arising
from the performance of the repair, renovation, and/or maintenance described
above. This indemnity shall include, but not be limited to, claims or
liabilities asserted against Landlord based upon negligence, strict liability or
other liability by operation of law to any third party or government entity, and
all costs, attorney's fees, expenses, and liabilities incurred by Landlord in
the defense of any such claim. Landlord shall defend any such claim at Tenant's
expense by counsel selected by Landlord. Tenant shall not alter, cut, drill,
penetrate, remove or damage any portion of the Premises in which Landlord has
identified to Tenant the presence or suspected presence of asbestos, without
Landlord's prior written consent. Tenant indemnifies Landlord from and against
any and all damages, liabilities, fines, costs and expenses, including without
limitation reasonable attorneys fees and costs, from Tenant's violation or
breach of this covenant.
20. RELOCATION OF TENANT
A. GENERAL. Recognizing that the Building is large and the needs of
tenants as to space may vary from time to time, and in order for Landlord to
accommodate Tenant and prospective tenants, Landlord expressly reserves the
right, prior to and/or during the Lease Term, at Landlord's sole expense, to
move Tenant from the Premises and relocate Tenant in other comparable space of
Landlord's choosing of approximately the same dimensions and at least the same
size within the Building (or additions to the Building or new construction
related to the Building or the campus in which Building is located), which other
space will be decorated by Landlord at its expense. Landlord shall, in
exercising its right to relocate the Tenant, make said decision in full
consideration and deference to the nature of Tenant's business which business
operates (including Tenant's on-line computer network) on a twenty-four (24)
hour basis, seven (7) days per week. Landlord may use decorations and materials
from the existing Premises, or other materials, so that the space in which
Tenant is relocated will be comparable in its interior design and decoration to
the space from which Tenant is removed.
B. NO INTERFERENCE. During the relocation period Landlord will use
reasonable efforts not to unduly interfere with Tenants business activities
(recognizing that such business operations may only be shut down for a de
minimus period of time during the relocation, and will not limit Tenant's access
to the Premises prior to such relocation. Landlord agrees to substantially
complete the relocation within a reasonable time under all then existing
circumstances.
C. PREMISES. This Lease and each of its terms and conditions will
remain in full force and effect and be applicable to any such new space and such
new space will be deemed to be the Premises demised hereunder; upon request
Tenant will execute such documents which may be requested to evidence,
acknowledge and confirm the relocation (but it will be effective even in the
absence of such confirmation).
D. COSTS. Landlord's obligation for expenses of removal and
relocation will be the actual cost of relocating and decorating Tenant's new
space, moving expenses, telephone and computer relocation and all other
reasonable costs arising directly from such relocation, and Tenant agrees that
Landlord's exercise of its election to remove and relocate Tenant will not
release Tenant in whole or in part from its obligations hereunder for the full
Lease Term. No rights granted in this Lease to Tenant, including the right of
peaceful possession and quiet enjoyment, will be deemed breached or interfered
with by reason of Landlord's exercise of the relocation right reserved herein.
E. NOTICE. If Landlord exercises its relocation right under this
paragraph, Tenant will be given ninety (90) days prior notice in writing.
21. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND PROCEDURES
A. COMPLIANCE. Except as otherwise provided herein, Tenant, at its
sole cost, will promptly comply with all applicable laws, guidelines, rules,
regulations and requirements, whether of
Page 16
------------------
Blue Lake Standard Lease
federal, state, or local origin, applicable to the Premises, including, but not
limited to, the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq. The FAC
(as to the interior of the Premises), and those for the correction, prevention
and abatement of nuisance, unsafe conditions, or other grievances arising from
or pertaining to the use or occupancy of the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that
(i) the Premises and the parking facilities may contain potentially hazardous
substances, including, but not limited to, asbestos containing materials, radon
gas, mineral fibers, and other like materials (all of such materials are
referred to herein as "Environmental Concerns") and (ii) Tenant has been advised
that the Premises and the Building do contain either encapsulated or non-friable
asbestos containing materials. Accordingly, Tenant agrees that Tenant and
Tenant's Agents shall comply with all operation and maintenance programs and
guidelines implemented or promulgated from time to time by Landlord or its
consultants, including, but not limited to, those matters set forth in
subsections B and C below, in order to reduce the risk to Tenant, Tenant's
Agents or any other tenants of the Building of injury from Environmental
Concerns. Except as otherwise provided herein, Tenant at its sole cost and
expense shall be solely responsible for taking any and all measures which are
required to substantially comply with the requirements of the ADA and the FAC
within the Premises. Landlord shall be responsible for causing compliance of the
Building, other than the Premises, with the requirements of the ADA and the FAC,
the cost of such compliance being an Operating Expense hereunder. Any
Alterations to the Premises made by or on behalf of Tenant for the purpose of
complying with the ADA and FAC or which otherwise require compliance with the
ADA and FAC shall be done in accordance with this Lease; provided, that
Landlord's consent to such Alterations shall not constitute either Landlord's
assumption, in whole or in part, of Tenant's responsibility for substantial
compliance with the ADA and FAC, or representation or confirmation by Landlord
that such Alterations comply with the provisions of the ADA and FAC.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall be solely responsible at its sole
cost and expense, for making any changes or improvements which are required
pursuant to the terms of this Lease, to the condition of the Premises delivered
by Landlord to Tenant.
B. NOTICE PRIOR TO WORK. Except as provided in Section 11, Tenant
shall provide thirty (30) days notice to Landlord prior to the performance by
Tenant, Tenant's Agents or contractors of any repairs, renovation and/or major
structural or mechanical systems maintenance, to the Premises. Such notice shall
include a detailed description of the work contemplated. Tenant shall not
perform, or cause to be performed, any such repair, renovation and/or
maintenance without the written consent of Landlord and, if such consent is
granted, the repair, renovation and/or maintenance must be performed in
accordance with the terms of Landlord's consent.
22. RIGHT OF ENTRY
Landlord and its agents will have the right to enter the Premises
during all reasonable hours to make necessary repairs to the Premises upon
reasonable prior notice. In the event of an emergency, Landlord or its agents
may enter the Premises at any time, without notice (except that Landlord shall
make a good faith effort to contact Tenant's designated representative by
telephone prior to such entry), to appraise and correct the emergency condition.
Said right of entry will, after reasonable prior notice, likewise exist for the
purpose of removing placards, signs, fixtures, alterations, or additions which
do not conform to this Lease. Landlord or its agents will have the right to
exhibit the Premises at any time to prospective tenants within one hundred and
eighty days (180) before the Expiration Date of the Lease.
23. DEFAULT
A. EVENTS OF DEFAULT BY TENANT. The following shall, upon the giving
of notice to Tenant of the nature of the default and the expiration of any
applicable grace period afforded Tenant hereunder as set forth in Section 23.B.
constitute an Event of Default under this Lease. If (1) Tenant fails to make any
payment of Rent when due (a "Monetary Default"); or (2) Tenant fails to fulfill
any of the terms or conditions, covenants, agreements or any rules and
regulations attached to this Lease, as Exhibit "C" or promulgated by Landlord
under this Lease which shall in all instances be reasonable and have as close to
equal application to all tenants of the Building as is practicable (a
"Non-Monetary Default"); or (3) the appointment of a trustee or a receiver to
take possession of all or substantially all of Tenant's assets occurs, and such
appointment is not dismissed within thirty (30) days after appointment, or if
the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of all or substantially all
of Tenant's assets located at the Premises, or of Tenant's interest in this
Lease, occurs; or (4) Tenant or any of its successors or assigns or any
guarantor of this Lease ("Guarantor"), if any, should file any voluntary
petition in bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement, or an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or for similar relief under any present or future statute,
law or regulation relating to relief of debtors; or (5) Tenant or any of its
successors or assigns or any Guarantor should be adjudicated bankrupt or have an
involuntary petition in bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement filed against
it and such proceeding is not dismissed within thirty (30) days of filing; or
(6) Tenant, before the expiration of the Lease Term and without the prior
written consent of Landlord, vacates the Premises or abandons possession of the
Premises, and fails to pay Rent on a timely basis; or (7) Tenant shall permit,
allow or suffer to exist any lien by or through Tenant, judgment, writ,
assessment, charge, attachment or execution upon Landlord's or Tenant's interest
in this Lease or to the Premises, and/or the fixtures, improvements and
furnishings located thereon, whether claimant or holder thereof has acquired its
right by or through Tenant, unless such lien, judgment, writ, assessment,
charge, attachment or execution is discharged of record or transferred from
Page 17
------------------
Blue Lake Standard Lease
the Property by bond within ten (10) days following notice to Tenant.
▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ PERIOD. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to
the contrary, Tenant shall have (i) a period of three (3) calendar days after
written notice from Landlord of a Monetary Default with respect to payment of
Base Rent or Overhead Rent; (ii) a period of ten (10) days after notice from
Landlord of a Monetary Default, other than as to payment of Base Rent or
Overhead Rent; and (iii) a period of twenty (20) days after notice from Landlord
of a Non-Monetary Default in which to cure the Event of Default. In addition,
provided that the Event of Default does not involve an emergency that must be
addressed in a shorter time frame, the grace period for Non-Monetary Defaults
shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary to complete such cure
if the Event of Default is of a nature that it cannot be completely cured within
the twenty (20) day period solely as a result of nonfinancial circumstances
outside of Tenant's control, provided that Tenant has promptly commenced all
appropriate actions to cure the default after notice and those actions are
thereafter diligently and continuously pursued by Tenant in good faith. However,
if the Non-Monetary Default is not cured prior to a maximum of ninety (90) days
from the date of the notice of the Non-Monetary Default, then Landlord may
pursue all of its remedies. The notice of a Non-Monetary Default to be given
under this subsection may be combined with the notice required under Section
83.20(3), Florida Statutes or any successor statute and this Lease shall not be
construed to require Landlord to give two separate notices to Tenant before
proceeding with any remedies.
C. REPEATED LATE PAYMENT. Regardless of the number of times of
Landlord's prior acceptance of late payments and/or late charges, (i) if
Landlord notifies Tenant four (4) times in any 1 2-month period that Rent has
not been paid when due, then any other late payment within such 12-month period
shall automatically constitute an event of default hereunder and (ii) the mere
acceptance by Landlord of late payments of Rent in the past shall not,
regardless of any applicable laws to the contrary, thereafter be deemed to waive
Landlord's right to strictly enforce this Lease, including Tenant's obligation
to make payment of Rent on the exact day same is due, against Tenant.
24. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES FOR TENANT'S DEFAULT
A. LANDLORD'S OPTIONS. Upon an Event of Default by Tenant under this
Lease, Landlord may, at its option exercise any of the remedies enumerated
below, in addition to such other remedies as may be available under Florida law:
(1) terminate this Lease and Tenant's right of possession by
notice to Tenant; or
(2) terminate Tenant's right to possession but not the Lease
and/or proceed in accordance with any and all provisions of paragraph B below.
B. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES. If there is an Event of Default by Tenant
under this Lease (subject to applicable notice and cure periods), in addition to
all other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord may:
(1) Terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant and retake
possession of the Premises;
(a) Terminate Tenant's right of possession by notice to
Tenant without terminating this Lease and retaking possession of the Premises
and relet the Premises or any part of the Premises in the name of Landlord, or
otherwise, as Tenant's agent, for a term shorter or longer than the balance of
the Lease Term, and may grant concessions or free rent to the new tenant,
thereby terminating Tenant's tenancy in the Premises and right to possess the
Premises, without terminating Tenant's obligations to pay (a) the entire balance
of all forms of Base Rent and Additional Rent for the remainder of the Lease
Term, plus (b) the Reletting Expenses, and (c) the unamortized balance of any
brokerage commissions paid by Landlord in connection with this Lease, any
allowances granted to Tenant under this Lease, and the cost of any Tenant
Improvements made by Landlord. Landlord shall have no obligation to relet the
Premises, and its failure to do so, or failure to collect rent on reletting,
shall not affect Tenant's liability under this Lease. Landlord shall not, in any
event, be required to pay Tenant any surplus of any sums received by Landlord on
a reletting of the Premises in excess of the rent provided in this Lease. If
Landlord decides to relet the Premises or a duty to relet is imposed by law,
Landlord shall only be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to relet
the Premises. Commercially reasonable efforts shall not require Landlord to: (i)
use any greater efforts than Landlord then uses to lease other properties
Landlord or its affiliates owns or manages; (ii) relet the Premises in
preference to any other space in the Building; (iii) relet the Premises to any
party that Landlord could reasonably reject as a transferee under the Assignment
or Subletting section of this Lease; (iv) accept rent in an amount which is less
than the fair market rental for the Premises; (v) perform any tenant
improvements, grant any tenant improvement allowances, grant any "free rent," or
otherwise pay any sums or grant any monetary concessions in order to obtain a
new tenant; (vi) observe any instruction given by Tenant about the reletting
process or accept any tenant offered by Tenant unless the offered tenant leases
the entire Premises and the criteria of this subsection are otherwise fully met.
Any entry or reentry by Landlord, whether had or taken under summary proceedings
or otherwise, shall not absolve or discharge Tenant from liability under this
Lease so long as Landlord's actions are not in violation of applicable laws.
"Reenter" and "re-entry" as used in this Lease are not restricted to their
technical legal meaning. No reentry or taking possession of the Premises by
Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlord's part to accept a
surrender of
Page 18
------------------
Blue Lake Standard Lease
the Premises unless a notice of such intention is given to Tenant;
(2) Stand by and do nothing, and hold Tenant liable for all
Base Rent and additional rent payable under this Lease through the remainder of
the Lease Term; provided by law;
(3) Institute any action as
(4) Obtain injunctive and declaratory relief, temporary or
permanent, or both, against Tenant or any acts, conduct or omissions of Tenant,
and further to obtain specific performance of any term, covenant, or condition
of this Lease;
(5) After regaining possession of the Premises, remove all
or any part of Tenant's Property from the Premises and any property removed may
be stored at the cost of, and for the account of, Tenant, and Landlord shall not
be responsible for the care or safekeeping of Tenant's Property whether in
transport, storage, or otherwise, and Tenant waives any and all claims against
Landlord for loss, destruction, damage or injury that may be occasioned by any
acts taken by Landlord under this subsection. Landlord may retain possession of
Tenant's Property until all storage charges and all other amounts owed by Tenant
to Landlord under this Section 23 have been paid in full. Nothing set forth in
this subsection shall limit Landlord's rights to enforce any lien or security
interest in favor of Landlord against Tenant's Property or Landlord's rights
under the End of Term section of this Lease; and
(6) If all or any part of the Premises is then assigned,
sublet, transferred, or occupied by someone other than Tenant, Landlord, at its
option, may collect directly from the assignee, subtenant, transferee, or
occupant all rent becoming due to Tenant by reason of the assignment, sublease,
transfer, or occupancy. Any collection directly by Landlord from the assignee,
subtenant, transferee, or occupant shall not be construed to constitute a
novation or a release of Tenant from the further performance of its obligations
under this Lease.
C. ACCELERATION. If Landlord exercises the remedies provided in
Subsections (2), (3) or (4) above, Landlord may declare the entire balance of
all forms of Rent due under this Lease for the remainder of the Lease Term to be
forthwith due and payable and may collect the then present value of the rents
calculated using a discount rate equal to the yield then obtainable from the
United States Treasury ▇▇▇▇ or Note with a maturity date closest to the date of
expiration of the Lease Term) by distress or otherwise, provided, however that
Landlord shall utilize commercially reasonable attempts to mitigate its damages.
The accelerated additional rent for expenses shall be calculated by multiplying
the highest additional rent amount for Expenses payable by Tenant in any
calendar year times the number of calendar years (including any fractional
calendar year) remaining in the Lease Term following the date of default. If
Landlord exercises the remedy provided in Subsection (2) above and collects from
Tenant all forms of rent owed for the remainder of the Lease Term, Landlord
shall account to Tenant, at the date of the expiration of the Lease Term for
amounts actually collected by Landlord as a result of reletting, net of the
Tenant's obligations under Subsections 24 B. 2(a)-(c).
D. GUARANTY. In addition to the remedies of the Landlord contained
in this Section 24, a separate action or actions may, at Landlord's option, be
brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor, if any, whether or not any action
is first or subsequently brought against Tenant or whether or not Tenant is
joined in any such action. The Landlord may, at its sole option, proceed against
the Tenant without first seeking recourse against the Guarantor and may pursue
any other remedy in Landlord's power whatsoever and the Tenant waives any right
to complain of delay in enforcement of Landlord's rights under this Lease.
E. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary
contained in this Lease, any and all rights and remedies of Landlord and Tenant
set for forth in this Lease shall be exercisable only to the extent permitted by
Florida law at the time of exercise. Any waivers by Tenant of damages or
liability shall be applicable only to the extent Landlord's actions are in
material accordance with applicable law and only to the extent that Landlord or
its agents, employees or contractors are not negligent or willfully at fault.
F. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default of this Lease
unless and until Landlord fails to cure any default within thirty (30) days
after written notice from Tenant; provided, however, that if such default
reasonably requires more than thirty (30) days to cure, Landlord shall have a
reasonable time to cure such default, provided Landlord commences to cure within
such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to
completion. In the event of an uncured default by Landlord, Tenant shall have
the right to exercise any available legal and equitable remedies.
25. LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO PERFORM FOR TENANT'S ACCOUNT.
Should Tenant fail to observe or perform any term or condition of
this Lease within a provided grace period following notice, Landlord may at any
time thereafter, perform the same for the account of Tenant in a commercially
reasonable manner. If Landlord makes any expenditure or incurs any obligation
for the payment of money in connection with such performance for Tenant's
account (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs in instituting,
prosecuting and/or defending any action or proceeding through appeal), the sums
paid or obligations incurred, with interest at Twelve Percent (12%) per annum,
will be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after rendition of a
▇▇▇▇ or statement to Tenant. In the event Tenant, in the performance or
non-performance of any term or
Page 19
------------------
Blue Lake Standard Lease
condition of this Lease, should cause an emergency situation to occur or arise
within the Premises or in the Building, Landlord will have all rights set forth
in this paragraph immediately without the necessity of providing Tenant any
advance notice.
26. LIENS
A. GENERAL. In accordance with the applicable provisions of the
Florida Construction Lien Law and specifically Florida Statutes, Section 713.10,
no interest of Landlord whether personally or in the Premises, or in the
underlying land or Building of which the Premises are a part, or the leasehold
interest aforesaid shall be subject to liens for improvements made by Tenant or
caused to be made by Tenant hereunder. Further, Tenant shall have no power or
authority to create any lien or permit any lien to attach to the present estate,
reversion, or other estate of Landlord in the Premises or in the Building, and
all mechanics, materialmen, contractors, artisans and other parties contracting
with Tenant or its representatives or privies as to the Premises or any part of
the Premises are hereby charged with notice that they must look to the Tenant to
secure payment of any ▇▇▇▇ for work done or material furnished or for any other
purpose during this Lease term. The foregoing provisions are made with express
reference to Section 713.10 of the Florida Statutes. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions, Tenant, at its expense, shall cause any liens filed
against the Premises or the Building for work or materials claimed to have been
furnished to Tenant to be discharged of record or properly transferred to a bond
under Section 713.24 of the Florida Statutes within ten (10) days after notice
to Tenant. Landlord has recorded a notice of the foregoing in the Public Records
of Palm Beach County, Florida, pursuant to the provisions of Section 713.10
Florida Statutes.
B. DEFAULT. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any construction lien
or other lien, attachment, judgment, execution, writ, charge or encumbrance is
filed against the Building or the Premises or this leasehold, or any
alterations, fixtures or improvements therein or thereto, as a result of any
work action or inaction done by or at the direction of Tenant or any of Tenant's
Agents, Tenant will discharge same of record within ten (10) days after the
filing thereof and written notice from either Landlord or the lien or, failing
which Tenant will be in default under this Lease. Further, Tenant agrees to
indemnify, defend and save Landlord harmless from and against any damage or
loss, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Landlord as a result of
any liens or other claims arising out of or related to work performed in the
Premises by or on behalf of Tenant. In such event, without waiving Tenant's
default, Landlord, in addition to all other available rights and remedies,
without further notice, may discharge the same of record by payment, bonding or
otherwise, as Landlord may elect, and upon request Tenant will reimburse
Landlord for all costs and expenses so incurred by Landlord plus interest
thereon at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum.
27. NOTICES

otherwise specifically provided herein) addressed to Tenant and mailed or

specified above.
28. MORTGAGE ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE; SUBORDINATION
Landlord has the unrestricted right to convey, mortgage and
refinance the Building, or any part thereof. Tenant and Landlord agree, within
ten (10) days after notice but not more than twice in any calendar year, to
execute and deliver to the other or its mortgagee or designee such instruments
as the other or its mortgagee may reasonably require, certifying (i) whether
this Lease is in full force and effect (or if there shall have been any
modification, that the Lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating
the modification, (ii) the amount of any prepaid rent paid under this Lease,
(iii) the dates to which the rents and other charges have been paid, (iv)
whether or not Tenant claims any defenses or offsets concerning its obligations
under this Lease and whether or not the other is in default in the performance
of any covenant, agreement, or condition contained in this Lease on its part to
be performed, and if so, specify each defense, offset or default of which the
party may have knowledge, and (v) such other matters as may be reasonably
required by institutional lenders or purchasers in similar estoppel
certificates. Nothing contained in this Section shall constitute a waiver by
Landlord of any default in payment of rent or other charges existing as of the
date of any notices or certificates under this Section. Subject to the
provisions hereof, this Lease is and at all times will be subject and
subordinate to all present and future mortgages or ground leases which may
affect the Building and/or the parking lot, and to all recastings, renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements, and extensions of any such
mortgage(s), and to all increases and voluntary and involuntary advances made
thereunder. The foregoing will be self-operative and no further instrument of
subordination will be required. However, in confirmation of this subordination,
Tenant shall execute promptly any certificate that Landlord may request provided
that, without limiting Landlord's right of specific performance and right to
injunctive relief, the Tenant's failure to do so shall constitute an Event of
Default under the Lease. In the event that the
Page 20
------------------
Blue Lake Standard Lease
holder ("Lender") of any encumbrance ("Mortgage") on the Building or any other
person acquires title to the Building pursuant to the exercise of any remedy
provided for in the Mortgage or by reason of the acceptance of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure (the Lender, any other such person and their participants,
successors and assigns being referred to herein as the "Purchaser"), Tenant
covenants and agrees to attorn to and recognize and be bound to Purchaser as its
new Landlord, and except as provided below, this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect as a direct Lease between Tenant and Purchaser, except that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Lease. It is an
express condition of the subordination of this Lease set forth herein, that so
long as Tenant is not in material default under any provision of this Lease
beyond any applicable notice or cure period, and no event has occurred that has
continued to exist for a period of time (after notice, if any, required by this
Lease) as would entitle Landlord to terminate this Lease or would cause without
further action by Landlord, the termination of this Lease or would entitle
Landlord to dispossess the Tenant thereunder:
A. The right of possession of Tenant to the Premises and Tenant's
rights hereunder shall not be terminated or disturbed by any steps or
proceedings taken by Lender or anyone claiming by or through Lender in the
exercise of any of its rights under the Mortgage or the indebtedness secured
thereby;
B. This Lease shall not be terminated or affected and Tenant's
possession, use, and enjoyment of the Premises shall not be disturbed by said
exercise of any remedy provided for in the Mortgage, and any sale by Lender of
the Building pursuant to the exercise of any rights and remedies under the
Mortgage or otherwise, shall be made subject to this Lease and the rights of
Tenant hereunder.
C. In no event shall Lender or any other Purchaser be:
(1) liable for any act or omission of Landlord or any prior
landlord (except to the extent such continue without cure after acquisition of
the Building by the Lender and such may be cured by Lender with its reasonable
efforts;
(2) subject to any offsets or defenses that the Tenant might have
against Landlord or any prior landlord;
(3) bound by any payment or rent or additional rent that Tenant
might have paid to Landlord or any prior landlord for more than the current
month unless the same is delivered to the Lender or the Purchaser; or
(4) bound by any material amendment or modifications of the Lease
made without Lender's or such other Purchaser's prior written consent, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
D. Provided that Landlord has previously notified Tenant of Lender's
address for notice, Tenant agrees to give written notice to Lender as soon as
reasonably practicable of any default by Landlord that would entitle Tenant to
cancel this Lease, and agrees that notwithstanding any provision of this Lease,
no notice of cancellation thereof given on behalf of Tenant shall be effective
unless Lender has received said notice and has failed within 30 days of the date
of receipt thereof to cure Landlord's default, or if the default cannot be cured
within 30 days, has failed to promptly commence and to diligently pursue the
cure of Landlord's default which gave rise to such right of cancellation. Tenant
further agrees to give such notices to any successor of Lender, provided that
such successor shall have given written notice of Tenant of its acquisition of
Lender's interest in the Mortgage and designated the address to which such
notices are to be sent.
E. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may execute and deliver to
Lender an Assignment of Leases and Rents conveying the rentals under this Lease
as additional security for the loan secured by the Mortgage, and Tenant hereby
expressly consents to such Assignment.
F. Within ten (10) days after the execution of this Lease, and as a
condition to the effectiveness of this Lease, Landlord shall obtain, for the
benefit of Tenant, a Subordination, Non-disturbance and Attornment Agreement
from each and every Lender as of the date of this Lease, such Subordination,
Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement to be in form substantially similar to
that attached hereto as Exhibit "J". Landlord represents and warrants to Tenants
that, as of the date of this Lease, it is the fee simple owner of the Building,
and that, as of the date hereof, there are no (i) ground leases of all or any
part of Landlord's interest in the Building, or (ii) mortgages with respect to
the Building, other than with Lenders providing such Subordination,
Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreements to Tenant.
G. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease,
after the date of this Lease, any subordination of this Lease to a mortgage or
any ground lease shall be conditioned on Tenant obtaining a. Subordination,
Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement from the applicable Lender and ground
lessor, such Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement in a form
substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit "J".
29. ATTORNMENT AND MORTGAGEE'S REQUEST
A. ATTORNMENT. Subject to the provisions of Section 28, if any
mortgagee of the Building comes into possession or ownership of the Premises, or
acquires Landlord's interest by foreclosure of the mortgage or otherwise, upon
the mortgagee's request Tenant will attorn to the mortgagee.
Page 21

Blue Lake Standard Lease
30. TRANSFER BY LANDLORD
If Landlord's interest in the Building terminates by reason of a
bona fide sale or other transfer, Landlord will, upon assumption by the new
owner of the Landlord's obligations hereunder from and after the date of
transfer, thereupon be released from all further liability to Tenant under this
Lease. At the expiration or termination of the Lease Term, Tenant shall deliver
to Landlord all keys to the Premises and make known to Landlord the location and
combination of all safes, locks and similar items.
31. SURRENDER OF PREMISES; HOLDING OVER

B. RESTORATION. In all events, Tenant will promptly restore all

remedies available under the laws of the State of Florida.

Blue Lake Corporate Center is not sufficient for continuous or extended use of
the Generators at the capacity of the Power Program (as may be increased as
Generator capacity is increased from time time) for all potential Subscribing
Tenants. In the event of an Extended Outage or a series of Outages, Landlord
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to regulate, reduce, and limit the
availability of Standby Power to Subscribing Tenants, including but not limited
to Tenant in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, to essential needs in
order to meet the Federal Emergency Management Agency's ("FEMA") [seven (7)] day
generator recommendations, the safety of tenants of the Center, the availability
of fuel, or the operating conditions and requirements of the Generators.
In order to manage the Power Program in the best interests of the
Center, the Landlord has established the following rules, procedures and
protocols for responding to an Extended Outage:
(1) DEFINITIONS:
LEVEL ONE OUTAGE: An Extended Outage lasting more than one hour, but
anticipated by Landlord, in Landlord's sole judgement and
discretion, to last less than three (3) hours.
LEVEL TWO OUTAGE: An Extended Outage lasting or anticipated by
Landlord, in Landlord's sole judgement and discretion, to last more
than, three (3) hours, but less than 24 hours.
LEVEL THREE OUTAGE: An Extended Outage lasting or anticipated by
Landlord, in Landlord's sole judgement and discretion, to last more

(2) EXTENDED OUTAGE PROTOCOLS:

following emergency protocols ("Protocols") for each level of
Extended Outage. Tenant shall comply with the Protocols as invoked

LEVEL ONE OUTAGE: Tenant's Served Systems may operate as anticipated
under this Supplement. The Landlord shall notify the Tenant of the
occurrence of a Level One Outage.

leave the Premises and the Center, and Tenant shall comply with
Landlord's emergency procedures and rules promulgated from time to
time in accordance with the Lease. The Landlord may, in Landlord's
sole discretion, (i) reduce or eliminate Center AC, (ii) reduce or
eliminate non-emergency Common Area systems and services (including
but not limited to operation of the Food Court, conference centers,

Tenant as to the status of the Extended Outage, anticipated actions
by Landlord, and the availability of fuel supplies, and shall use
all reasonable efforts to notify Tenant of an impending shut down of
Standby Power at least sixty (60) minutes prior to such shut down.
The Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, upon Landlord's request, the
Tenant will immediately disconnect all non-essential Served Systems from the
Standby Power. Further, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of a
Level Three Outage, fuel may become exhausted and additional fuel unavailable,
and, therefore, the Generators will be shut down and Standby Power discontinued
to the Premises, Served Systems and all Tenant Equipment. Tenant agrees to
cooperate with Landlord in maximizing the fuel supplies and in obtaining
deliveries of additional fuel supplies.
Tenant hereby waives, releases and holds harmless the Landlord, its
partners, affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, employees, and agents from all

during business normal hours.
6. EXCESS DEMAND LOAD. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Landlord
is providing Standby Power to other Subscribing Tenants and that Tenant may not
exceed its Capacity Reservation during any Outage. If the Tenant exceeds its
Capacity Reservation during an Outage ("Excess Demand"), Landlord may, in
Landlord's sole and absolute discretion: (i) require that Tenant immediately
disconnect non-essential Served Equipment and reduce the actual load to the
Capacity Reservation, (ii) if Tenant fails to do so immediately, Landlord may
reduce Standby Power to the Premises so that the actual load is at the Capacity
Reservation, or (iii) if there is sufficient Generator capacity for other
Subscribing Tenants, as Landlord shall determine in its sole and absolute
discretion, charge the Tenant an additional fee for the Excess Demand equal to
200% of the then current Capacity Reservation Fee prorated for the actual load
in excess of the Capacity Reservation ("Excess Demand Fee"). All of the
foregoing are in addition to Landlord's other rights and remedies under this
Supplement and at law or in equity, and, further, are in addition to Protocols
implemented by Landlord in the event of an Extended Outage. Such Excess Demand
Fee shall be billed by Landlord and paid by Tenant as Additional Rent under the
Lease.
7. USE CHARGES.
a. The Tenant shall pay for fuel consumed by the Generators during
an Extended Outage in proportion of its Capacity Reservation to the total of all
Capacity Reservations of Subscribing Tenants. The cost of fuel for non-Extended
Outages shall be charged as an Operating Expense under the Lease.
b. All other costs of maintaining, repairing, testing and servicing
the Generators 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 Operating Expenses or Overhead Rent.
