2. PREMISES:
2.1 The Landlord does hereby let, demise and lease the Premises
to the Tenant, and the Tenant does hereby hire and take the Premises from the
Landlord for the Term of this Lease.
2.2 Tenant acknowledges that this Lease is made subject to all
existing liens, encumbrances, deeds of trust, reservations, restrictions and
other matters of record and to zoning, building and fire ordinances and all
governmental statutes, rules and regulations relating to the use or occupancy
of the Premises, as same may hereafter be amended from time to time.
2.3 Tenant shall have the option, on sixty (60) days' prior
written notice, to lease any additional unleased space at the Premises which it
does not lease in this original Lease. Such rental shall be under the same
terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease.
3. TERM:
3.1 The Term of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement
Date and shall terminate on the Termination Date, unless terminated sooner in
accordance with the terms of this Lease. The Tenant has an option to renew this
Lease for three additional one (1) year periods by providing the Landlord with
notice to do so no more than six (6) months nor less than three (3) months
prior to the termination date of this Lease. Tenant's right to exercise this
option is based upon agreeing to pay rent at the time of the renewal equal to
5% over the rent paid for the then current term.
3.2 Notwithstanding the Commencement Date, the Term shall
commence earlier than the Commencement Date if Tenant occupies the Premises
prior to the stated Commencement Date. "Occupancy", "occupy" or "occupies" as
used in this Lease shall mean use of the Premises for any reason by Tenant or

3.3 If Landlord, through no fault of Tenant, cannot deliver
possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date, such delay shall
not affect the validity of this Lease nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant
for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, but there shall be a proportionate
reduction of rent covering the period between the Commencement Date and the
time when Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant. No such delay
shall operate to extend the Term.
6
4. RENT:
4.1 Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord each year during the Term
(as the Term may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.2 or 3.3) the Annual Rent
for the Premises. Said Annual Rent shall be paid in monthly installments equal
to the Monthly Rent. The Monthly Rent shall be due and payable in advance, on
or before the first day of each calendar month during the entire Term,
commencing with the first full calendar month of the Term; provided that Tenant
shall pay to the Landlord on the Commencement Date the prorated Monthly Rent
attributable to the month in which the Commencement Date occurs if the
Commencement Date is other than the first day of a month.
4.2 Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as additional rent upon
demand (but not more frequently than monthly) all charges for any services,
goods or materials furnished by Landlord at Tenant's request which are not
required to be furnished by Landlord under this Lease without separate charge
or reimbursement.
4.3 Any rent for any fractional month shall be prorated based on
a thirty (30) day month, and for any fractional year shall be prorated based on
a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year. All rent payable by Tenant to
Landlord under this Lease shall be paid to Landlord in lawful money of the
United States of America at Landlord's office located in the Building, or to
such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time
designate in writing. All rent shall be paid without prior demand, deduction,
setoff or counterclaim.
4.4 A late payment penalty shall be added to any rent not
received by Landlord within ten (10) days of the due date. Such penalty shall
be equal to the interest that accrues on said amount from the date the payment
was due until the date on which Landlord receives said payment, computed at the
rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum.
4.5 Tenant shall pay to Landlord concurrently with the payment of
the Monthly Rent and other sums all Florida State Sales Tax and any other tax
which is applicable to such payment.

Federal Government or by any agency, branch or department thereof; provided
that if at any time during the Term there shall be levied, assessed or imposed
on Landlord or the Property by any governmental entity, any general or special,
ad valorem or specific, excise, capital levy or other tax, assessment, levy or
charge directly on the rent received under this Lease (except as separately
paid to Landlord in accordance with Paragraph 4.6, above) or other leases
affecting the Property and/or any license fee, excise or sales tax, assessment,
levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon such rents,

directly or indirectly upon the transaction represented by this Lease or other
leases affecting the Property, and/or occupancy, use, per capita or other tax,

with respect to the Premises, Tenant shall pay monthly to Landlord the amount
of such separately metered utilities as reimbursement of these costs, and no
amounts representing the cost of separately metered utilities furnished to
Tenant shall be included in Building Operating Costs; provided, however, that
Tenant shall nevertheless pay its Proportionate Share of all other utilities
included under (a) hereinabove. If any other lessee of the Building so pays any
such separately metered utility or other costs or pays separately stated
personal property taxes, the amount so paid to Landlord shall be excluded from
Building Operating Costs.
5.2 The Rent Adjustment shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord in
accordance with the following:

(1/12) of the estimated Rent Adjustment. If at any time during a year Landlord
determines that its estimate is incorrect by no less than 15%, Landlord may
notify Tenant of the revision of such estimate and thereafter for the remainder
of such twelve (12) months Tenant shall pay estimated Rent Adjustment based
upon such revision. On or before March 15th of each calendar year, Landlord

Landlord, said statement shall be deemed binding, conclusive and final on all
parties.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinabove,
Landlord's failure to timely deliver said notice and statements to Tenant shall
not constitute a waiver by Landlord nor a defense by Tenant toward payment of
amounts required to be paid to Landlord after receipt of written notice of said
amounts by Tenant. In the event Landlord delivers said statements after March
15, the May 15 objection date shall be extended by a like amount of time.
(e) If this Lease shall commence on any day other than the first
day of a month or terminate on a day other than the last day of a month, the

total rentable square footage of the Building as determined by the Landlord.

Landlord or the Tenant, and which by operation of law would become a part of
the real estate, shall immediately upon being made or placed thereon become the

of the Term herein granted. Any such changes, alterations, improvements, or
additions shall be done in conformity with the "Building Standards Manual"

the Landlord or otherwise; nor shall the Landlord be liable under any
circumstances for loss of or injury to property or persons, however occurring,
through or in connection with or incidental to the furnishing of any of such
items or services, nor shall any such failure relieve the Tenant from the duty
to pay the full amount of rent and other sums of money herein provided to be
paid by the Tenant, or constitute or be construed as a constructive or other
eviction of the Tenant.
10. INDEMNIFICATION; INSURANCE:
10.1 INDEMNITY. Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless
Landlord, Bankers Insurance Company, any property manager(s) engaged by Landlord
or Bankers Insurance Company and each of their affiliated companies, partners,
shareholders, agents, directors, officers, and employees (collectively,
"Indemnitees") from and against any and all liabilities, damages, claims,
suits, injuries, costs (including court costs, attorneys' fees and costs of
investigation, and actions of any kind arising or alleged to arise by reason of
injury to or death of any person or damage to or loss of property occurring on,
in, or about the Leased Premises or by reason of any other claim whatsoever of
any person or party occasioned or alleged to be occasioned in whole or in part
by any act or omission on the part of Tenant or any invitee, licensee, agent,
employee, director, officer, contractor, subcontractor, or tenant of Tenant, or
by any breach, violation, or nonperformance of any covenant of Tenant under
this Lease (collectively "Liabilities") even if such Liabilities arise from or
are attributed to the concurrent negligence of any Indemnitee. The only
Liabilities with respect to which Tenant's obligation to indemnify the
Indemnitees does not apply is with respect to Liabilities resulting from the
sole negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee. If any action or
proceeding is brought by or against any Indemnitee in connection with any such
Liabilities, Tenant shall defend such action or proceeding, at Tenant's
expense, by or through attorneys reasonable satisfactory to Landlord. The
provisions of this paragraph apply to all activities of Tenant with respect to
the Leased Premises or Building, whether occurring before or after the
Commencement Date of the Term and before or after the expiration or termination
of this Lease. Tenant's obligations under this paragraph are not limited to the
limits or coverage of insurance maintained or required to be maintained by
Tenant under this Lease.
10.2 TENANT'S INSURANCE. Tenant shall, at its sole expense, maintain
in effect at all times during the Term, insurance coverage with limits not less

shall pay to Landlord the premium of such insurance within ten (10) days of
Landlord's demand, plus interest at the highest lawful rate for a loan of like
amount from the date of payment by Landlord until repaid by Tenant. Upon the
request of Landlord, Tenant shall provide Landlord with certified copies of any
and all applicable insurance policies.

10.3 WAIVER OF LIABILITY. No Indemnitee will be liable in any manner
to Tenant or any other party claiming by through or under Tenant for any injury
to or death of persons unless caused by the sole negligence or willful
misconduct of an Indemnitee. In no event will any Indemnitee be liable in any
manner to Tenant or any other party as the result of the acts or omissions of
Tenant, its invitees, licensees, agents, employees, directors, officers,
contractors, subcontractors, or tenants of Tenant, or any other tenant of the
Building. All personal property upon the Leased Premises is at the risk of
Tenant only and no Indemnitees will be liable for any damage thereto or theft
thereof, regardless of whether such property is entrusted to employees of the
Building, or such loss or damage is occasioned by casualty, theft, or any other
cause of whatsoever nature, even if due in whole or in part to the negligence
of any Indemnitee.
10.4 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, no party will have any right or claim against any Indemnitee for any
property damage (whether caused, in whole or in part, by negligence or the
condition of the Leased Premises or the Building or any part thereof) by way of
subrogation or assignment, Tenant hereby waiving and relinquishing any such
right. To the extent Tenant chooses to insure its property, Tenant shall
request its insurance carrier to endorse all applicable policies waiving the
carrier's right of recovery under subrogation or otherwise in favor of any
Indemnitee and provide Landlord with a certificate of insurance verifying this
waiver.
Landlord hereby waives and relinquishes any right or claim against Tenant for
damage to the Leased Premises or the Building by way of subrogation or
assignment, to the extent covered by insurance proceeds. Landlord shall request
its insurance carrier to endorse all applicable policies waiving the carrier's
right of recovery under subrogation or otherwise in favor of Tenant and a
certificate of insurance will be made available at the request of the Tenant.
11. ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING:
11.1 The Tenant shall not sell, assign, transfer, mortgage,
hypothecate or otherwise encumber this Lease or the leasehold interest granted
hereby, or any interest therein, or permit the use of the Premises or any part
thereof by any person or persons other than the Tenant and Tenant's employees
and business invitees, or sublet the premises, or any part thereof, without the
written consent of the Landlord in Landlord's sole discretion in each such case
being first had and obtained; and notwithstanding any such assignment,
mortgage, hypothecation, encumbrance or subletting, the Tenant shall at all
times remain fully responsible and liable for the payment of the rent and other
sums of money herein specified and for compliance with all of the obligations
of the Tenant under the terms, provisions and covenants of the Lease. If Tenant
is a corporation, unincorporated association, trust or general or limited
partnership, the sale, assignment, transfer or hypothecation of any stock or
other ownership interest of such entity which from
14
time to time in the aggregate exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of such
interest shall be deemed an assignment subject to the provisions of this
Paragraph 11.1.
11.2 If Tenant subleases or assigns any portion of the Premises and
whether or not such sublease or assignment was consented to, and the rental
exceeds the amount of rent due hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-half
(1/2) of all such excess rent as additional rent. In no event shall Tenant be
permitted to sublease or assign any portion of the Premises at a rental amount
less than the amount due under the terms of this Lease.
11.3 Any act described in Section 11.1 which is done without the
consent of the Landlord shall be null and void and shall be an Event of
Default.
11.4 Landlord shall have the right to sell, transfer or assign any of
its rights and obligations under this Lease.
12. SIGNS; ADVERTISING:
The Tenant shall not place or maintain or permit to be placed or
maintained any signs or advertising of any kind whatsoever on the exterior of
the Building, or on any exterior windows in said Building, or elsewhere within
the Premises so as to be visible from the exterior of said Building, or on the
interior walls or partitions, including doorways, of the Premises, visible from
the public hallways or other public areas of the Building except such numerals
and lettering on doorways as may be approved and permitted by the Landlord (and
the Landlord shall have the right to specify the size, design, content,
materials to be used and locations upon the door of any such materials and
letter); and the Tenant shall not place or maintain, nor permit the placing or
maintaining, and shall promptly remove any that may be placed by Tenant, of any
awnings or other structure or material or machinery or equipment of any kind
whatsoever on the exterior or extending to the exterior of the Building, or on
the outside (that is to say, the side not facing inward toward the interior of
the Premises) of any interior wall or partition separating the Premises from
other portions or areas of said Building.
13. MAINTENANCE OF INTERIOR OF PREMISES:
The Tenant shall take good care of the Premises and shall, at the
Tenant's own cost and expenses, keep in good sanitary condition and repair and
shall promptly make all repairs to the same to the satisfaction of the
Landlord, except for usual and ordinary wear and tear by reasonable use and
occupancy or fire or other casualty; and at the end or other
15
expiration of the Term, shall deliver up the Premises in the same condition as
received, ordinary wear and tear by ordinary use thereof, fire and other
casualty only excepted. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any
repairs which are not promptly made by Tenant and charge Tenant for the cost
thereof as rent. Tenant waives all rights (whether statutory or otherwise) to
make repairs at the expense of Landlord, to cure any alleged defaults by
Landlord at the expense of Landlord, or to deduct the cost thereof from rent or
other sums due Landlord hereunder.
14. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION:
If the Building is, without fault of the Tenant, damaged by fire or
other peril to the extent that the entire Demised Premises are rendered
untenantable and cannot be reasonably rendered in as good a condition as
existed prior to the damage within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date
of such damage, the Term of this lease may be terminated by the Landlord or the
Tenant by giving written notice to the other party; but if such damage is not
such as to permit a termination of the Term of this Lease as above provided,
then if such damage is not caused by Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees,

forthwith reimburse Landlord all costs thereof, including any attorneys' fees,
together with interest from the date expended until the date repaid at the rate

to be an acceptance of such default or a waiver thereof.
16. REMEDIES:
16.1 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Landlord
may at any time thereafter, without notice or demand except as stated hereafter
and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any other right or remedy
which Landlord may have by reason of such default or breach:

cost and risk of and for the account of Tenant, and all such persons shall quit
and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. Tenant hereby waives all
claims for damages which may be caused by the entry of Landlord and taking
possession of the Premises or removing and storing the furniture and property
and hereby agrees to indemnify and save Landlord harmless from any loss, costs,
damages or liability occasioned thereby, and no such entry shall be considered
or construed to be forcible entry or construed to be a termination of the Lease
unless Landlord expressly elects to terminate this Lease. Should Landlord elect
to enter, as hereby provided, or should Landlord take possession pursuant to
legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided by law, Landlord may then
or at any time thereafter terminate this Lease pursuant to Paragraph 16.1(c),

shall remain and continue liable for the equivalent of the rent and other
charges herein reserved and required by the Tenant to be paid and met until the

payment of such
18
expenses and fees as the Landlord may have incurred in entering, dispossessing
and in letting, including among others all expenses of the Landlord reasonably
incurred in putting the Premises in proper condition (including tenant
improvements) and then to the payment of the rent and other charges reserved
hereunder and the fulfillment of the Tenant's covenants hereunder, the Tenant
and any subtenant of the Tenant and assignee of the Tenant shall remain liable
for any deficiency. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises, or the
appointment of a receiver on Landlord's initiative to protect Landlord's
interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of this Lease,
unless and until Landlord expressly elects in writing to terminate this Lease;
(c) Terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant therein and
recover from Tenant in an action of all of the damages suffered or to be
suffered by Landlord, including the damages and costs described in subparagraph

Landlord under the laws or judicial decisions of the State of Florida.

default with respect to any other payment of rent.

cumulative, and shall not be exhausted by one exercise thereof, and shall not
exclude any other rights and remedies authorized, provided or permitted by law.
No failure or omission on the part of the Landlord promptly to exercise or
insist upon any of its rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any such
rights; and no waiver on the part of the Landlord of any breach or default or
lack of prompt or full and complete performance or compliance by the Tenant
hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or lack
of prompt and full performance or compliance.

The Tenant agrees that the Landlord, or its officers, agents,
servants, and employees, may enter said Premises at any hour to protect the
