STANDARD LEASE
THIS LEASE ("Lease") is made as of the _____ day of August, 1998, by
and between BLUE LAKE, LTD., a Florida limited partnership ("Landlord") and
CYBEAR, INC., a Florida corporation, authorized to do business in the State of
Florida ("Tenant").
W I T N E S S E T H:
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, greenspace 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 BONA-FIDE
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 hereinabove 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 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 specifically provided in this Lease, in advance,
on or before the first day of each month, in equal monthly installments of the
amounts set forth in the BLI 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.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:
(1) The term "Operating
Expenses" shall mean (i) any and all reasonable costs of ownership, management,
operation, repair and maintenance of the Building, including, without
limitation, wages, salaries, professionals' fees, taxes,

balance) of any capital improvements made to the Building by Landlord after the
date of this Lease that reduce in a commercially reasonable manner Operating

with Landlord and/or its designated representatives Tenant shall within thirty
(30) days of invoice, pay all of Landlord's reasonable costs and expenses in
connection with such review, including reasonable attorneys' fees and

demonstrated to reflect a mathematical error in excess of three and one-half
percent (3.5%) of the amount actually due from Tenant. If such error is in
excess of three and one-half percent (3.5%), Landlord shall pay, within thirty
(30) days of invoice, Tenant's reasonable costs and expenses in connection with
such review, including reasonable attorneys' fees and accounting fees. Landlord
hereby agrees, in the event it receives such notice from Tenant, to cooperate in

Landlord's annual statement is delivered to Tenant for such calendar year,
provided, that Tenant shall give Landlord not less than fifteen (15) days prior
written notice of any such audit and sign a confidential non-disclosure
agreement prior to the audit reasonably acceptable to Tenant and subject to any

without offset, demand or other credit except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, and shall be payable only in lawful money of the United States of
America which shall be legal tender in payment of all debts and dues, public and
private, at the time of payment. All sums payable by Tenant hereunder by check
shall be obtained against a financial institution located in the United States
of America. The Rent shall be paid by Tenant at the Building management office
located in the Building or elsewhere as designated by Landlord in writing to

the number of days in the applicable calendar month.
E. RENT TAXES. In addition to Base Rent and Overhead Rent,

6. ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES; LANDLORD'S WORK
Taking possession of the Premises by Tenant shall be
conclusive evidence that the Premises were in good and satisfactory condition
when possession was so taken subject to latent defects and Landlord's
maintenance and repair obligations provided in this Lease. Unless expressly
stated herein to the contrary, Landlord has no obligation to repair, improve, or
add to the Premises subsequent to Tenant's taking possession thereof and Tenant
shall, at its sole cost and expense and in compliance with the provisions of
this Lease, be responsible for any changes, alterations, replacements or
repairs, maintenance and decorations to the Premises. Except as may be
specifically provided in this Lease, Tenant shall not be required to make
alterations to the structural or base building improvements of the Building.
Neither Landlord nor Landlord's agents have made any representations or promises
with respect to the physical condition of the Building or the Premises,
PAGE 6
----------
BLUE LAKE STANDARD LEASE
or any other matter or thing affecting or relating to Premises except as herein
expressly set forth, and no rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Tenant
by implication or otherwise, except as expressly set forth in the provisions of
this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord represents and warrants to
Tenant that it has not received any notice that the Building is currently in
violation of any laws, regulations or ordinances. Any existing ceiling system
and demountable partitions are to remain in the Premises at the time of the
delivery of the Premises and may be utilized by Tenant without charge.
Improvements, if any, to be made to the Premises by Tenant shall be made in
accordance with the Work Letter. Landlord's published list of pre-approved
general contractors and architects for The Blue Lake Corporate Center, as may be
amended from time to time by Landlord at its sole option (except if Landlord has
already approved a general contractor or architect), shall have the exclusive
right to bid for Tenant's construction contracts. Improvements, if any, to be
made to the Premises by Landlord are specifically set forth in the Work Letter
and there are no others. All leasehold improvements (as distinguished from trade
fixtures and apparatus) installed in the Premises at any time, whether by or on
behalf of Tenant or by or on behalf of Landlord, shall not be removed from the
Premises at any time, unless such removal is consented to in advance by
Landlord; and at the expiration of this Lease (either on the Expiration Date or
upon such earlier termination as provided in this Lease), all such leasehold
improvements shall be deemed to be part of the Premises, shall not be removed by
Tenant when it vacates the Premises, and title thereto shall vest solely in
Landlord without payment of any nature to Tenant. All trade fixtures and
apparatus (as distinguished from leasehold improvements) owned by Tenant and
installed in the Premises shall remain the property of Tenant and shall be
removable at any time, including upon the expiration of the Term; provided that
Tenant shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by the removal of said
trade fixtures and apparatus and shall restore the Premises to substantially the
same condition as existed prior to the installation of said trade fixtures and
apparatus. The taking of possession by Tenant (or any permitted assignee or
subtenant of Tenant) of all or any portion of the Premises for the conduct of
business will be deemed conclusive evidence that Tenant has found the Premises,
and all of their fixtures and equipment, acceptable, subject to latent defects
and Landlord's maintenance and repair obligations provided in this Lease.
7. PARKING
A. RESERVATIONS. Landlord has and reserves the right to
reasonably alter the methods used to control parking and the right to reasonably
establish such controls and rules and regulations (such as parking stickers to
be affixed to vehicles) regarding parking that Landlord may deem desirable.

vehicles improperly parked, blocking ingress or egress lanes, or violating
parking rules, at the expense of the offending tenant and/or owner of the
vehicle.
B. CONDITIONS. Tenant's right to use, and its right to permit
its principals and guests to use, the parking facilities pursuant to this Lease
are subject to the following conditions: (i) Landlord reserves the right to
reasonably reduce the number of spaces in the parking area by not more than ten
percent (10%) of the then number of parking area spaces in the parking area
and/or reasonably change access thereto so long as such does not materially
reduce the number of parking spaces within reasonable proximity to the Premises;
and none of the foregoing shall entitle Tenant to any claim against Landlord or
to any abatement of Rent (or any part thereof); (ii) Landlord has no obligation
to provide a parking lot attendant and Landlord shall have no liability on
account of any loss or damage to any vehicle or the contents thereof except to
the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, or its
agents, employees or contractors, Tenant hereby agreeing to bear the risk of
loss for same; (iii) Tenant, its agents, employees and invitees, shall park
their automobiles and other vehicles only where and as reasonably designated
from time to time by Landlord within the parking area so long as such remain in
reasonable proximity to the Premises; and (iv) if and when so requested by
Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with the license numbers of any vehicles
of Tenant, its agents and employees.
8. BUILDING SERVICES
A. GENERAL. In general, the services set forth below will be
provided by Landlord or Landlord's licensee or an independent contractor
contracted for by Landlord at a service level set, defined and regulated
consistent with office buildings of similar quality to and in the same immediate
geographic area as the Building. During the Lease Term, the regular business
hours ("Business Hours") of the Building (including the auditorium and
cafeteria) will be 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, except
holidays generally recognized by state and federal governments or as may be
shortened in accordance with applicable policies or regulations adopted by any
utility company servicing the Building or government. During periods other than

Hours. The Building will be accessible to Tenant, its subtenants, agents,
servants, employees, contractors, invitees or licensees (collectively, "Tenant's

BLUE LAKE STANDARD LEASE
(1) ELECTRICITY:
(a) Landlord is the exclusive
vendee of electrical utility services for the Project. There shall be installed,
at Landlord's expense, in conformance with the Work Letter, separate electric
metering for the Premises. Tenant shall pay all applicable security deposits
required to secure electrical services as provided in the BLI Rider. Landlord
shall be solely responsible for the expenses of all sub-metering for all other
utility services to the Premises, to the extent such may be reasonably
sub-metered. In the event that sub-metering is not available until completion of
all demising work for the Premises prior to the Rent Commencement Date electric
power will be available through the auspices of the Landlord or its utility
vendor for the purpose of lighting and general office equipment use in amounts
consistent with Building Standard Electric Capacities. Landlord reserves the
right after business hours during non-Business Hours to turn off all unnecessary
lighting in the unoccupied areas of the Building to minimize the energy
consumption of the Building. Tenant will not, without written consent of
Landlord connect with electric current except through existing electrical
outlets in the Premises, any major apparatus or major device for the purpose of
using electric current, except for Tenant's ability to add a supplemental
package air-conditioning unit as provided in this Section 8.
(2) STAND-BY ELECTRIC GENERATOR RIDER. Tenant may participate
in the stand-by electric generator service program available to the Building by
executing the stand-by electric generator subscription rider attached hereto and
made a part hereof as Exhibit "G".
(3) AIR-CONDITIONING SERVICES:
Landlord agrees that either Landlord or its designated utility manager
(the "Utility Manager") shall provide, air-conditioning services to the Premises
which air-conditioning services (including chilled water) shall be separately
metered to the Premises and billed directly by either Landlord or the Utility
Manager directly to Tenant. During Business Hours, air conditioning consistent
with comparable buildings in the Boca Raton area shall be supplied to the
Premises for the purposes of comfort control in the Premises during regular
business hours consistent with comparable office buildings in the Boca Raton
area. Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord's air-conditioning system is not
designed to cool machinery and equipment. Tenant shall not re-direct, or in any
manner modify, the air-conditioning duct distribution to accommodate Tenant's
build-out unless any such modifications are first approved in writing by the
Landlord, which modifications shall be designed only by an engineer pre-approved
by the Landlord. If Tenant requires additional air-conditioning services for
comfort control during Business Hours, (i.e., in excess of Building Standard) or
during non-Business Hours Landlord shall, in response to Tenant's request for
any such additional air-conditioning service accommodate Tenant subject to
availability at the then prescribed per-ton hour basis which service shall be
billed to Tenant as Additional Rent. At the time of the execution of this Lease,
the per-ton hour charge for additional air-conditioning services is $.24. This
rate may be subject to change during the Lease Term as evaluated and determined
by FPL Services, the Utility Manager or a similar service. At Landlord's option,
Landlord may secure air-conditioning controls (thermostats) in lockable metal
boxes to regulate the efficiency and use of the system. The Landlord may, at its
option, contract with FPL Services, or such other provider of chilled-water
distribution system sources as the Landlord may reasonably elect.
(4) WATER AND SEWER:
Landlord agrees to provide municipally supplied cold water and
sewer services to the Common Areas for lavatory purposes.

Landlord will provide exterior window washing with reasonable
frequency.
B. INTERRUPTION OF SERVICES. Tenant understands and agrees
that Landlord does not warrant that any of the services referred to above, or
any other services which Landlord may supply, will be free from interruption.
Tenant acknowledges that any one or more of such services may be suspended by
reason of accident or repairs, alterations or improvements necessary to be made,
or by strikes or lockouts, or by reason of operation of law, or other causes
beyond the control of Landlord. No such interruption or discontinuance of
service will be deemed an eviction or a disturbance of Tenant's use and
possession of the Premises or any part thereof, or render Landlord liable to
Tenant for damages or abatement of Rent or relieve Tenant from the
responsibility of performing any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
However, to the extent that electrical service is interrupted for more than five
(5) consecutive business days due to the negligence or wilful act of the
Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors, and such interruption prevents
the Tenant from occupying the Premises for its business operations and Tenant
does not occupy the Premises for the duration of such interruption, Rent shall
▇▇▇▇▇ to the extent that such interruption continues beyond the five (5)
consecutive business day period.
C. FIBER OPTICS. Tenant may contract with BellSouth, which has
been provided access through the underlying property by Landlord for
telecommunication service wiring and installation and which has been designated
by the Landlord as the vendor of choice at the Blue Lake Building, for
PAGE 8
----------
BLUE LAKE STANDARD LEASE
voice and data telecommunication wiring and services, and installing any
telecommunication products and, specifically, dual access points for Tenant's
fiber optic lines, at Tenant's sole expense. To the extent that such
installation requires the digging of a trench through the Property in order to
gain dual access points, the Tenant shall provide the Landlord with plans and
schematics for the referenced installation which plans and schematics shall be
subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Landlord and which installation
shall be further subject to the approval, as necessary, of the City of Boca
Raton or other agencies having jurisdiction thereon.
D. UTILITY DEREGULATION: Landlord has advised Tenant that presently,
Florida Power & Light ("Electric Service Provider") is the utility company
selected by Landlord to provide utility service for the Building.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if permitted by law, Landlord shall have the
right at any time and from time to time during the Lease Term to either contract
for service from a different company or companies providing electric service (a
such company shall hereinafter be referred to as an "Alternate Service
Provider") or continue to contract for service from the Electric Service
Provider. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord, the Electric Service Provider
and any Alternate Service Provider at all times and, as reasonably necessary,
shall allow Landlord, Electric Service Provider, and any Alternate Service
Provider reasonable access to the Building's electric lines, feeders, risers,
wiring and any other machinery within the Premises. Landlord shall be in no way
liable or responsible for any loss, damage or expense that Tenant may sustain or
incur by reason of change, failure, interference, disruption or defect in the
supply or character of the electric energy furnished to the Premises (except to
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,
then no such change, failure, defect, unavailability or unsuitability shall
constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle
Tenant to any abatement or diminution of Rent, or relieve Tenant from any of its
obligations under the Lease.
9. SECURITY
With respect to security for the Building and the parking lot,
Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows: Security of the Premises is the
sole responsibility of the Tenant and that the Landlord has no liability for
breach of security to the Premises. Tenant may at Tenant's expense install a
security system to the Premises; provided, however, that Tenant, in addition to
access otherwise required hereunder, will provide Landlord adequate access to
the Premises in case of emergencies particularly regarding Premises that contain
fire sprinkler risers and equipment. Landlord will install in the Building, an
access device, such as a keypad or card reader, as Landlord may deem appropriate
for the Building, in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. All repairs
required to the Premises caused by security breaches are the responsibility of
the Tenant, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct
of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors, however, Landlord may elect
to effect such repairs, if appropriate to insure continued security, protection
of property, or safety of life. The cost of such repairs shall be Additional
Rent.
A. TENANT'S RESPONSIBILITY. Tenant shall: (1) abide by all
reasonable policies, procedures and rules and regulations for use of the access
system, (2) report promptly the loss or theft of all keys which would permit
unauthorized entrance to the Premises, Building or parking lot, (3) promptly
report to Landlord door-to-door solicitation or other unauthorized activity in
the Building or parking lot, and (4) promptly inform the Landlord's security
contractor in the event of a break-in or other emergency. In addition, Tenant
may, at its option and sole cost and expense, install its own interior security
system pursuant to plans to be submitted to Landlord for Landlord's approval,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Tenant shall deliver
mechanic's lien releases prior to the initiation of the work.
B. INTERRUPTION OF SECURITY. Tenant acknowledges that the
above security provisions may be suspended or modified at Landlord's sole
discretion or as a result of causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord.
No such interruption, discontinuance or modification of security service will
constitute an eviction, constructive eviction, or a disturbance of Tenant's use
and possession of the Premises, and further, no interruption, discontinuance or
modification of security service will render Landlord liable to Tenant or
third-parties for damages, abatement of Rent, or otherwise, or relieve Tenant of
the responsibility of performing Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
C. HURRICANE SHUTTER OPTION. Tenant may, at Tenant's sole cost
and expense (which shall include all expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord
unless plans for hurricane shutters were incorporated as part of the initial
construction document review process) install protective hurricane shutters on
the interior of the windows of the Premises. Any such installation of hurricane
shutters shall be subject to the prior approval of the Landlord, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld. The hurricane shutters shall be approved by
the Landlord as to size, color, type of shutter, mode of attachment and such
other criteria as Landlord shall from time-to-time determine. The Tenant must
also receive the approval of the City of Boca Raton, Florida prior to the
installation of hurricane shutters.

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 Tenant's 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
PAGE 11

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; (d) use of the Premises by the proposed transferee or assignee will
not violate 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 revokable at
Landlord's will by notice to Tenant.
14. TENANT'S INSURANCE 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+IX-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 Landlord's
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 Tenant's 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. ss. 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 12-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;
(3) Institute any action as provided by law;
(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 lienor, 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
Notices to Tenant under this Lease will be in writing (unless
otherwise specifically provided herein) addressed to Tenant and mailed or
delivered to the address set forth for Tenant in the BLI Rider. Notices to
Landlord under this Lease (as well as the required copies thereof) will be in
writing and addressed to Landlord (and its agents) and mailed or delivered to
the address set forth in the BLI Rider. Notices will be personally delivered or
given by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested. As used herein,
personal delivery includes delivery by overnight courier. Notices delivered

notices given by mail will be deemed to have been given forty-eight (48) hours
after the time said properly addressed notice is placed in the mail. Each party
may change its address from time to time by written notice given to the other as
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
A. SURRENDER. Tenant agrees to surrender the Premises to
Landlord on the Expiration Date (or sooner termination of the Lease Term
pursuant to other applicable provisions hereof) in as good condition as they
were at the commencement of Tenant's occupancy, ordinary wear and tear, and
damage by fire and windstorm excepted.
B. RESTORATION. In all events, Tenant will promptly restore
all damage caused in connection with any removal of Tenant's personal property.
Tenant will pay to Landlord, upon request, all damages that Landlord may suffer
on account of Tenant's failure to surrender possession as and when aforesaid and
will indemnify Landlord against all liabilities, costs and expenses (including
all reasonable attorneys' fees and costs if any) arising out of Tenant's delay
in so delivering possession, including claims of any succeeding tenant.
C. REMOVAL. Upon expiration of the Lease Term, at Landlord's
option, Tenant may not be required to remove from the Premises, Building
Standard Items (as defined in the Work Letter), all of such Building Standard
Items are the property of Landlord or tenant improvements installed prior to the
Rent Commencement Date unless Landlord shall require such removal during the
review and approval of the plans and specifications as provided in the Work
Letter.
D. HOLDOVER. In the event of a holding-over by Tenant, after
the expiration of the Lease or the early termination of the Lease without the
written consent of Landlord, Tenant shall, in addition to being responsible for
any liquidated damages provided by Florida statute, also indemnify Landlord
against all claims for damages by any other tenant to whom Landlord may have
leased all or any part of the Premises covered hereby effective after the
termination of this Lease so long as Landlord has previously provided Tenant
notice of such lease. No payments of money by Tenant after the expiration of the
Lease Term of the earlier termination of this Lease will reinstate, continue or
extend the Term; reduce the liability of Tenant to Landlord for damages; or
affect any termination notice given by Landlord to Tenant. No extension of the
Lease Term will be valid unless and until the same will be reduced to writing
and signed by both Landlord and Tenant.
E. NO SURRENDER. No offer of surrender of the Premises, by
delivery to Landlord or its agent of keys to the Premises or otherwise, will be
binding on Landlord unless accepted by Landlord, in writing, specifying the
effective surrender of the Premises. 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 combinations of all locks, safes and similar
items.
32. NO WAIVER, CUMULATIVE REMEDIES
A. NO WAIVER. No waiver of any provision of this Lease by
either party will be deemed to imply or constitute a further waiver by such
party of the same or any other provision hereof. The rights and remedies of
Landlord and Tenant under this Lease or otherwise are cumulative and are not
intended to be exclusive and the use of one will not be taken to exclude or
waive the use of another, and Landlord and Tenant will be entitled to pursue all
rights and remedies available under the laws of the State of Florida.
B. RENT PAYMENTS. No receipt of money by Landlord from Tenant
at any time, or any act, or thing done by, Landlord or its agent shall be deemed
a release of Tenant from any liability whatsoever to pay Rent, Additional Rent,
or any other sums due hereunder, unless such release is in writing, subscribed
by a duly authorized officer or agent of Landlord and refers expressly to this
Section. Any payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of less than the entire
amount due at such time shall be deemed to be on account of the earliest sum
due. No endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any
check or payment shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction. In the case of such
a partial payment or endorsement, Landlord may accept such payment, check or
letter without prejudice to its right to collect all remaining sums due and
pursue all of its remedies under the Lease.

use and occupancy of the Premises, the parking lot and any other area of the
Building, as applicable, at all times comply with all Environmental Laws (as

all Environmental Laws. Landlord may at Landlord's expense at the end of the
term, order a clean-site certification, environmental audit or site assessment
with respect to the Premises the cost of which shall be reimbursed by Tenant to
Landlord in the event such environmental audit reflects a violation of this
Section 39 by Tenant.

environmental engineering firm acceptable to Landlord to assess, with a
reasonable degree of certainty, the presence or absence of any Hazardous
Substances and the potential costs in connection with abatement, clean-up, or
removal of any Hazardous Substances found on, under, at, or without the
Premises. If such audit reveals a violation of Environmental Laws caused by
Tenant or Tenant's agents, or the presence of Hazardous Substances not in the
Premises upon delivery of possession to Tenant, and such was not caused by
Landlord or its agents, the Tenant shall pay the cost of such audit. Tenant will
reasonably cooperate with Landlord, at no cost or expense to Tenant, and allow
Landlord and Landlord's representatives access, upon ten (10) days notice
(except in the case of an emergency), to any and all parts of the Premises and
to the records of Tenant with respect to the Premises for environmental
inspection purposes at any time. In connection therewith, Tenant hereby agrees
that Landlord, or Landlord's agent, may perform any testing upon or of the
Premises that Landlord's deems reasonably necessary for the evaluation of
environmental risks, costs, or procedures, including soils or other sampling or
coring. Landlord shall repair and restore the Premises damaged during such
testing unless testing reveals a violation by Tenant of Environmental Laws in

reasonable effort to minimize any disruption or interference with Tenant's
operations in the Premises in connection with such inspection and/or testing.
E. VIOLATIONS - ENVIRONMENTAL DEFAULTS. Tenant shall give to

Tenant covenants to promptly investigate, clean up and otherwise remediate any
spill, release or discharge of Hazardous Substances in or about the Premises or
the Building, including but not limited to those caused by the acts or omissions

subtenants, customers or contractors at Tenant's sole cost and expense; such

Premises to the condition existing prior to the introduction of any such
Hazardous Substances by Tenant or Tenant's agents.
(1) In the event of (1) a violation of an
Environmental Law by Tenant, (2) a release, spill or discharge of a Hazardous
Substance on or from the Premises, or (3) the discovery of an environmental
condition requiring response which violation, release, or condition is
attributable to the acts or omissions of Tenant, its agents, employees,
representatives, invitees, licensees, subtenants, customers, or contractors, or
(4) an emergency environmental condition which is the result of an act of Tenant
(collectively "Environmental Defaults"), Landlord shall have the right, but not

the case of an emergency which requires more prompt action, to enter the
Premises, to supervise and approve any actions taken by Tenant to address the
Environmental Default; and in the event Tenant fails to immediately address such
Environmental Default, then Landlord may perform, at Tenant's expense, any
lawful actions necessary to address the Environmental Default.
(2) Landlord has the right, but not the obligation to
cure any Environmental Defaults, has the reasonable right to suspend some or all
of the operations to the extent that the operations have caused the

which are to be at Tenant's expense pursuant to this Article, will be considered

Landlord.
G. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Lease, the Landlord may condition its approval of any
assignment or subletting by Tenant to an Assignee or Subtenant that in the
judgment of the Landlord, reasonably exercised, does not create any additional
environmental exposure.

may, in its reasonable discretion, require the Tenant to have delivered a bond
by a surety acceptable to Landlord to guaranty any financial undertakings of any
indemnification in connection with a special event.
43. MISCELLANEOUS
A. If Tenant has a lease for other space in the Building, an
Event of Default by Tenant under such lease beyond applicable notice and cure
periods will constitute a default hereunder.
B. If any term or condition of this Lease or the application
thereof to any person or circumstance is, to any extent, invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term or
condition to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held

condition of this Lease is to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by law. This Lease will be construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Florida.
C. Submission of this Lease to Tenant does not constitute an
offer, and this Lease becomes effective only upon execution and delivery by both
Landlord and Tenant.

statement, representation, prior or contemporaneous written or oral promises,
agreements or warranties, except such as are expressed herein.
E. Tenant agrees to pay, before delinquency, all taxes
assessed during the Lease Term agreement (i) all personal property, trade

attorneys' fees and costs through all appellate actions and proceedings, if any.
The foregoing will survive the end of the Lease Term.
H. Neither this Lease nor any memorandum hereof will be
recorded by Tenant.
I. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed by the
parties hereto or by any third party to create the relationship of principal and
agent, partnership, joint venturer or any association between Landlord and

computation of Rent nor any other provisions contained in this Lease nor any act
of the parties hereto shall be deemed to create any relationship between
Landlord and Tenant other than the relationship of landlord and tenant.

only and shall not be relevant for purposes of interpretation of the provisions

to Tenant, except in the case of an emergency, to use, install, monitor, and

reduce or alter the obligations to be performed by Landlord as set forth in this
Lease.
N. It is acknowledged that each of the parties hereto has been
fully represented by legal counsel and that each of such legal counsel has
contributed substantially to the content of this Lease. Accordingly, this Lease
shall not be more strictly construed against either party hereto by reason of
the fact that one party may have drafted or prepared any or all of the terms and
provisions hereof.
O. If more than one person or entity is named herein as
Tenant, their liability hereunder will be joint and several. In case Tenant is a

days of the execution of this Lease, executed by Tenant, certified resolutions
of the board of directors authorizing Tenant's execution and delivery of this
Lease and the performance of Tenant's obligations hereunder. In case Tenant is a
partnership, Tenant represents and warrants that all of the persons who are
general or managing partners in said partnership have executed this Lease on
behalf of Tenant, or that this Lease has been executed and delivered pursuant to
and in conformity with a valid and effective authorization therefor by all of
the general or managing partners of such partnership, and is and constitutes the
valid and binding agreement of the partnership and every partner therein in
accordance with its terms. It is agreed that each and every present and future
partner in Tenant, to the extent that Tenant is a partnership, shall be and
remain at all times jointly and severally liable hereunder and that neither the
death, resignation or withdrawal of any partner, nor the subsequent modification
or waiver of any of the terms and provisions of this Lease, shall release the
liability of such partner under the terms of this Lease unless and until
Landlord shall have consented in writing to such release.
P. Landlord has made no inquiries about and makes no
representations (express or implied) concerning whether Tenant's proposed use of
the Premises is permitted under applicable law, including applicable zoning law;
should Tenant's proposed use be prohibited, Tenant shall be obligated to comply
with applicable law and this Lease shall nevertheless remain in full force and
effect. Landlord covenants that the Building is zoned to permit corporate
headquarters office use as contemplated in the BLI Rider.
Q. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if
Landlord or Tenant cannot perform any of its non-monetary obligations due to
events beyond that party's control, the time provided for performing such
obligations shall be extended by a period of time equal to the duration of such
events. Events beyond either party's control include, but are not limited to,
hurricanes and floods and other acts of God, war, civil commotion, labor
disputes, strikes, fire, flood or other casualty, shortages of labor or
material, government regulation or restriction and weather conditions. Nothing
herein contained shall constitute a waiver or mitigation of Tenant's
responsibility to pay Rent.

Lease, in the event of any litigation under this Lease the prevailing party will
be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for all reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs including through all appellate actions and proceedings, including

Reservation Charge on or before the Due Date, the Capacity Reservation shall be
canceled, and this Supplement shall automatically terminate without the
requirement of further notice or demand by Landlord, in which event Landlord may
sell to, and/or reserve for the Capacity Reservation to other Subscribing
Tenant(s). To the extent that the Generators have been placed in service prior
to the Agreement Date, the Tenant's Capacity Reservation shall not become
effective and the Tenant shall have no right to Standby Power, unless and until
the Capacity Reservation Charge is paid to Landlord, on or before the Due Date.
The Capacity Reservation Charge is neither refundable nor subject to proration
or abatement.
4. SERVED SYSTEMS.
a. Tenant acknowledges that the Standby Power for Tenant's
Capacity Reservation shall be limited to serving the equipment and systems
described on EXHIBIT "B" attached hereto and made a part hereof ("Served
Systems"). Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, the Capacity Reservation
PAGE 48
----------
BLUE LAKE STANDARD LEASE
includes Standby Power for Center air conditioning services ("Center AC") to the
Premises, which represents forty (40%) percent ("Center AC Capacity") of the
Capacity Reservation (except if, and only to the extent that, Tenant has
installed, pursuant to the Lease, a separate or supplemental air conditioning
system for any portion of the Premises.) All Served Systems shall be connected
to electrical panels and/or breakers separate from the main panels and breakers
for the Premises, so as to permit the disconnection of all electrical systems
and equipment, other than Served Systems, from the Standby Power.
b. In the event that Center AC is not supplied to the Premises
because Tenant, under the Lease, has installed a separate or supplemental air
conditioning system ("Premises AC"), then Tenant's Capacity Reservation may be
applied to the Premises AC to the extent that Center AC Capacity is not used for
the Premises.
c. Tenant shall solely be responsible for the compatibility
with the Generators, of the Served Systems, including but not limited to,
electrical systems, wire, conduit, panels, transformers, switchgear, and
breakers in the Premises, and Tenant's equipment (including but not limited to
trade equipment, office equipment, and other electrically-powered equipment) to
be connected to the Standby Power, Tenant, prior to the Served Systems being
connected to the Generator, shall make, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, any
and all modifications and enhancements to the Served Systems necessary for such
to be compatible with the Generators. Landlord shall have no liability or
responsibility for damage or injury to Served Systems or any of Tenant's
Equipment or personnel, due to such incompatibility, or for any resulting
business interruption (and any direct, indirect, consequential, or special
damages related thereto), such being expressly waived by Tenant.
5. GENERATOR OPERATION.
a. SERVICE COMMENCEMENT DATE. The Landlord shall place the
Generators in operation on or before December 31, 1998 ("Service Commencement
Date"), subject to Force Majeure (as hereinafter defined).
b. TENANT'S TEMPORARY GENERATORS. If Landlord has, under
separate agreement, permitted Tenant to operate a mobile, temporary backup
generator for its Premises, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after the
Generators have been placed in operation, disconnect such mobile, temporary
backup generator and remove such from Landlord's property, and shall restore the
Landlord's property to the condition existing prior to the installation of such
mobile temporary backup generators. Tenant indemnifies Landlord from and against
any and all claims, demands, responsibility, liability, damages, fines,
penalties, costs and expenses; including but not limited to reasonable
attorney's fees and costs, arising from or related to Tenant's installation,
use, operation or removal of the Tenant's mobile, temporary backup generators,
including but not limited to any violations of environmental law or the
contamination of Landlord's property with hazardous or toxic materials or with
petroleum products.
c. EMERGENCY SERVICE USE. The Generators are only intended for
limited emergency backup use and are not designed for, nor does the Generators'
fuel storage tank have sufficient capacity for, more than temporary, limited use
of the Generators.
d. STARTUP DELAY. In the event of a power failure ("Outage"),
the Generators are designed to start up over [A PERIOD OF ONE TO THIRTY
MINUTES]. The Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Landlord shall not be
liable or responsible for any resulting direct, indirect, consequential, or
special damages that may occur due to an interruption of Tenant's business or
business operations, or to Tenant's Equipment, or to Served Systems or any of
the Premises due to any delay in the startup of the Generators. Tenant shall be
responsible to provide for its own backup uniform power supply ("UPS") to its
Premises and the Served Systems to address any startup delay of the Generators.
e. EMERGENCY REPRESENTATIVE: Tenant designates
__________________ and ___________________ as its "Emergency Representative(s)"
for contact by Landlord in the event of an Outage. The Emergency
Representative(s) shall have full authority to act on behalf of Tenant in the
event of an Outage or other emergency and shall be required to be available to
Landlord in the event of an emergency or an Outage. Tenant shall provide to
Landlord in writing after- hours contact information for its Emergency
Representatives, including but not limited to home addresses and telephone
numbers, cellular telephone numbers and pager numbers. Notices to Tenant under
this Supplement shall be deemed made to Tenant if delivered or made to the
Emergency Representative. Tenant shall notify the
PAGE 49
----------
BLUE LAKE STANDARD LEASE
Landlord in writing of any changes in the after-hours contact information of the
Emergency Representative. Tenant shall provide written notice to Landlord of any
changes in its Emergency Representative(s) or in the appointment of temporary
Emergency Representative(s) in the absence of those otherwise identified by the
Tenant pursuant hereto, together with their contact information as provided
above. The Emergency Representative(s) shall participate in emergency drills
and, in the event of an emergency or an Outage, shall be available to meet with
Landlord and the emergency representatives of other tenants to address emergency
procedures implemented by Landlord as a result thereof.
e. GENERATOR OPERATION DURING EXTENDED OUTAGE. For the
purposes hereof, any Outage lasting more than one hour shall be referred to as
an "Extended Outage". Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, at the contemplated
total capacity of the Generators, the Generators' fuel storage capacity for the
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 to 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 than 24 hours.
(2) EXTENDED OUTAGE PROTOCOLS:
In the event of an Extended Outage, the Landlord has
established the following emergency protocols ("Protocols")
for each level of Extended Outage. Tenant shall comply with
the Protocols as invoked by Landlord from time to time.
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.
LEVEL TWO OUTAGE: Tenant's Served Systems may operate as
anticipated under this Supplement. Tenant shall turn off or
disconnect all non-Served Systems within one (1) hour from
Landlord's notice of Level Two Outage. Tenant's personnel not
required in the operation of the Served Systems may be
required by the Landlord to immediately 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, and other services provided by the
Landlord to the Center), and (iii) require that Tenant turn
off or disconnect non-essential Served Systems, which shall be
accomplished within one (1) to three (3) hours from Landlord's
request to Tenant. The Landlord shall regularly update the
Tenant's Emergency Representative on the changes in status and
anticipated duration of the Level Two Outage.
LEVEL THREE OUTAGE: Only essential Served Systems may operate
as anticipated under this Supplement. Tenant shall turn off or
disconnect all non-essential Served
PAGE 50
----------
BLUE LAKE STANDARD LEASE
Systems and non-Served Systems within one (1) hour from
Landlord's notice of a Level Three Outage. Tenant's personnel
not required in the operation of the Served Systems shall
immediately 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, and other
services provided by the Landlord to the Center), and (iii)
require that Tenant turn off, reduce, or disconnect all Served
Systems as the availability of necessary fuel supply may
require. During a Level Three Outage, the Landlord shall
regularly report to 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
claims, demands, damages, liability, costs and expenses with respect to the
Landlord's regulation, reduction, limitation, and discontinuation of the Standby
Power, Landlord's decisions, acts and omissions relating thereto, or the
inability to deliver the Standby Power hereunder.
f. GENERATOR MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. Landlord intends to enter
into a service agreement for the maintenance of the Generators with a generator
maintenance company selected by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion.
The service agreement shall provide for maintenance of the Generators in
accordance with the National Fire Protection Agency Level 2 standards for
emergency generators. Copies of the maintenance and repair records for the
Generators shall be kept at the offices of Blue Lake Management, Inc.
("Management") for inspection by the Tenant upon reasonable written notice
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.

Reservation, subject to availability and price.
10. NO WAIVER. The failure of a party to enforce any term of this
Supplement or a party's waiver of the nonperformance of a term by the other
