_____________________________________________________________________("Tenant"):
WITNESSETH:
1.01 PREMISES In consideration of the obligation of Tenant to pay rent and
of the other terms, provisions and covenants hereof, Landlord leases to Tenant
and Tenant leases from Landlord, all that portion of certain real property
situated within the County of Palm Beach, State of Florida, legally described in
Exhibit A, and the buildings and improvements to be constructed thereon as
outlined on the site plan contained in Exhibit B (the "Premises"), including any
truck loading areas specifically marked in red on said Exhibit B for the
exclusive use of Tenant. The Premises and the building within which the Premises
are located (the "Building") are part of a larger development (the
"Development") commonly known as CONGRESS CORPORATE PLAZA
2.01 TERM OF LEASE. The term of this lease shall commence on the "Rent
Commencement Date", as hereinafter defined, and ending 36 months thereafter,
provided however, that in the event the rent commencement date is a date other
than the first day of a calendar month, said term shall extend for said number
of months in addition to the remainder of the calendar month following the rent
commencement date.
2.02 RENT COMMENCEMENT DATE. The "Rent Commencement Date" shall be,
January 1, 1996 or date the Landlord delivers Premises to Tenant, which is late.
In the event this lease pertains to a building or building interior finish to be
constructed, the "Rent Commencement Date" shall be the date upon which the
buildings and other improvements erected and to be erected upon the premises
shall have been substantially completed in accordance with the plans and
specifications described on Exhibit "C" attached hereto and incorporated herein
by reference, provided however, that if Landlord shall be delayed in such
substantial completion as a result of: (i) Tenant's failure to agree to plans,
specifications, and cost estimates, within a reasonable period of time: (ii)
Tenant's request for materials, finishes or installations other than Landlord's
standard; (iii) Tenant's changes in plans: the commencement date and the payment
of rent hereunder shall be accelerated by the number of days of such delay, and
provided further that if Landlord cannot substantially complete the premises as
a result of any events (i) through (iii) above, Landlord may as its election
complete so much of Landlord's work as may be practical under the circumstances
and by written notice to Tenant, establish the commencement date as the date of
such partial completion, subject to any applicable accelerations due to delays
resulting from events (i) through (iii) above. Taking possession by Tenant shall
be deemed conclusively to establish that said buildings and other improvements
have been completed in accordance with the plans and specifications and that the
premises are in good and satisfactory condition, as of when possession was so
taken. Tenant acknowledges that no representations as to the repair of the
premises have been made by Landlord, unless such are expressly set forth in the
lease. After such "Rent Commencement Date" Tenant shall, upon demand, execute
and deliver to Landlord a letter of acceptance of delivery of the premises. In
the event of any dispute as to substantial completion of work performed, execute
or required to be performed by Landlord, the certificate of Landlord's architect
or general contractor shall be conclusive.
3.01 BASE RENT Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord rent for the premises, in
advance, without demand, deduction or set off, for the entire term hereof at the
rate of two thousand nine hundred eighty four and 00/100 ---- Dollars
($2,984.00) per month. One such monthly installment shall be due and payable on
the date hereof and a like monthly installment shall be due and payable on or
before the first day of each calendar month succeeding the rent commencement
date, except that the rental payment for any fractional calendar month at the
commencement of the lease period shall be prorated. The rental payment is
subject to adjustment as provided below.
3.02 RENT ESCALATION The base rent shall be subject to adjustment on the
first day of January of each year of the Lease term (such date being hereafter
referred to as the "rent adjustment date") in the following manner: (a) Landlord
and Tenant agree that on and as of the adjustment date each year during the term
of this lease, Landlord may increase the base rental for the premises then due
under the lease to an amount equal to the product of the current annual rental,
including any prior adjustments, multiplied by a fraction the numerator being
the Consumer Price Index published for the October immediately preceeding the
rent adjustment date, and the denominator being the Consumer Price Index for the
October twelve (12) months prior to the rent adjustment date. For the first rent
adjustment date occuring during the term of this lease, any increase in annual
rental effective through this paragraph shall be reduced by the percentage of
the calendar year (the calendar year being the period from January 1st through
December 31) preceding the rent adjustment date that the Tenant was not in
possession of the premises (b) "Consumer Price Index" shall be the Consumer
Price Index for all Urban Consumer - U.S. City Average for all items ( 1982-84=
100) of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor.
If the Consumer Price Index published by the Department of Labor, Bureau of
Labor Statistics is changed so that it affects the calculations achieved
hereunder, the Consumer Price Index shall be converted in accordance with a
conversion factor published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of
Labor Statistics. If the Consumer Price Index is discontinued or revised during
the term of the Lease, such other government index or computation with which it
is replaced shall be used in order to obtain substantially the same result as
would have been obtained if the Consumer Price Index had not been discontinued
or revised. Notwithstanding anything contained in this paragraph, the additional
rent payable by Tenant in any year pursuant to this paragraph shall in no event
be less than that paid in the prior year.
4.01 SECURITY DEPOSIT Tenant agrees to deposit with Landlord on the date
hereof the sum of eight thousand four hundred fifty three and 22/100-----------
------------------------------- Dollars ($8,453.22), which sum shall be held by
Landlord, without obligation for interest, as security for the full, timely and
faithful performance of Tenant's covenants and obligations under this Lease, it
being expressly agreed that such deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a
measure of Landlord's damages. Upon the occurrence of any event of default by
Tenant, Landlord may, from
Landlord: _________ Tenant: __________
1
time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy, use such funds to the
extent necessary to make good any arrears of rent or other payments due Landlord
hereunder, and any other damage, injury, expense or liability caused by Tenant's
default; and Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount so applied in
order to restore the security deposit to its original amount. Although the
security deposit shall be deemed the property of Landlord, any remaining balance
of such deposit shall be returned by Landlord at such time after termination of
this Lease when Landlord shall have determined that all Tenant's obligations
under this Lease have been fulfilled.
5.01 PERMITTED USE. The Premises shall be continously used for the sole
purpose of general business offices and/or for receiving, storing, shipping and
selling (other than at retail) products, materials and merchandise made and/or
distibuted by Tenant and for no other use or purpose. Tenant shall at its own
cost and expense obtain any and all licenses and permits necessary for any such
use. The overnight parking of automobiles, trucks or other vehicles, and the
outside storage of any property including trash or garbage are prohibited.
Tenant agrees that it shall, at its own cost and expenses keep its employees,
agents, customers, invitees, and/or licensees from parking on any streets
running through or contiguous to the buildings or development of which the
premises are part thereof. Tenant agrees that no washing of any type will take
place in the premises including the truck apron and parking areas. Tenant shall
not permit any objectionable or unpleasant odors, smoke, dust, gas, noise or
vibrations to emanate from the Premises, nor take any other action which would
constitute a nuisance or would disturb or endanger any other tenants of
Development or unreasonably interfere with such tenants' use of their respective
premises or permit any use which would adversely affect the reputation of the
Development. Tenant shall not receive, store or otherwise handle any product,
material or merchandise which is explosive, highly flammable or constitutes a
hazardous substance or waste. Tenant shall not permit the Premises to be used
for any purpose (including, without limitation, the storage of merchandise) in
any manner which would render the insurance thereon void or increase the
insurance rate thereof. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless
against any and all loss, costs and claims, including attorney's fees relating
to the improper storage, handling, transportation or disposal of explosive,
highly flammable or hazardous materials or resulting from any other improper
use. Tenant shall comply with all governmental laws, ordinances and regulations
applicable to the Premises, and shall promptly comply with all governmental
orders and directives for the connection, prevention and abatement of any
violations or nuisances in or upon, or connected with, the Premises, all at
Tenant's sole expense. If, as a result of any change in the governmental laws,
ordinances and regulations, the Premises must be altered to accommodate lawfully
the use and occupancy thereof, such alterations shall be made only with the
consent of Landlord, but the entire cost thereof shall be borne by Tenant;
provided that the necessity of Landlord's consent shall in no way create any
liability against Landlord for failure of Tenant to comply with such laws,
ordinances and regulations. Tenant shall take whatever other actions are
necessary so that the Premises and Tenant's use thereof complies with the Fire
Prevention Code of the National Fire Protection Association and any other fire
prevention laws, ordinances, rules or regulations applicable to the Premises.
6.01 TENANT'S TAXES. Tenant shall be responsible to pay before delinquency
all franchise taxes, assessments, levies or charges measured by or based in
whole or in part upon the rents payable hereunder or the gross receipts of
Tenant and all sales taxes and other taxes imposed upon or assessed by reason of
the rents and other charges payable hereunder. The Florida sales tax imposed on
rent and on other charges payable hereunder shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord
with the payment of Tenant's rental payments and other charges payable
hereunder.
7.01 DEFINITION OF OPERATING COSTS. The term "Operating Costs shall mean
all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord or on Landlord's behalf in
connection with the ownership, management, repair, replacement, remodeling,
maintenance and operation of the Development (including, without limitation, all
assessed real property taxes, assessments (whether general or special) and
governmental charges of any kind and nature whatsoever including assessments due
to deed restrictions and/or owner's associations, which accrue against the
building and/or development of which the premises are a part, the costs of
maintaining and repairing parking lots, parking structures, easements, and
landscaping, property management fees, utility costs to the extent not
separately metered, insurance premiums, depreciation of the costs of replacement
(as defined below) of the building and improvements in the Development but not
including any structural repairs or replacements which are normally
chargeable to capital accounts under sound accounting principles, and the
Building's share of costs of the Development). The term "operating costs" does
not include; (i) costs of alterations of tenants' premises; (ii) costs of curing
construction defects; (iii) interest and principal payments on mortgages, and
other debt cost; (iv) real estate brokers, leasing commissions or compensation;
(v) any cost or expenditure for which Landlord is reimbursed, whether by
insurance proceeds or otherwise; (vi) cost of any service furnished to any other
occupant of the Building which Landlord does not provide to tenant hereunder.
Structural repairs and replacements are repairs and replacements to the
foundations, load-bearing walls, columns and joists and replacement of roofing
and roof deck. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
depreciation of any capital improvements which are intended to reduce Operating
Costs, or are required under any governmental laws, regulations or ordinances
which were not applicable to the Building or the Development at the time it was
constructed, or are recommended by the N.F.P.A. Life Safety Code, shall be
included in Operating Costs. The useful life of any such improvement as well as
all non-structural replacements shall be reasonably determined by Landlord. In
addition, interest on the undepreciated cost of any such improvement or
non-structural replacement (at the prevailing construction loan rate available
to Landlord on the date the cost of such improvement was incurred) shall also be
included in Operating Costs. If Landlord selects the accrual method of
accounting rather than the cash accounting method for Operating Costs purposes,
Operating Costs shall be deemed to have been paid when such expenses have
accrued. Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time to time to
elect, which election shall be subject to revocation, to exclude that portion of
Operating Costs attributable to any separately assessed part of the Development
and any separate building within the Development. During any period that
Operating Costs attributable to any separately assessed part of the Development
and/or separate building are so excluded from Operating Costs, then for the
purposes of calculating Tenant's proportionate share of Operating Costs as
provided in Section 7.02, the denominator shall not include the rentable area of
such separately assessed part of the Development and/or such separate building.
Landlord may, in a reasonable manner, allocable insurance premiums for so-called
"blanket" insurance policies which insure other properties as well as the
Development and said allocated amount shall be deemed to be an Operating Cost.
If at any time during the term of this lease, the present method of
taxation shall be changed so that in lieu of the whole or any part of any taxes,
assessments or governmental charges levied, assessed or imposed on real estate
and the improvements thereon, there shall be levied, assessed or imposed on
Landlord a capital levy or other tax directly on the rents received therefrom
and/or a franchise tax, assessment, levy or charge measured by or based, in
whole or in part, upon such rents for the present or any future building or
buildings on the premises, then all such taxes, assessments, levies or charges,
or the part thereof so measured or based, shall be deemed to be included within
the term "taxes" for the purposes hereof.
7.02 TENANT'S PROPORTIONATE SHARE OF OPERATING COST. Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, as additional rent, its proportionate share of operating costs
calculated on the basis of the ratio set forth in Section 8.01. Any payments
with respect to any partial calendar year in which the Term commences or ends
shall be prorated. Tenant agrees to pay $1,003.37 per month as an escrow amount
for operating costs as defined in Article 7.01. Landlord may, at any time,
deliver to Tenant its estimate (or revised estimate) of such additional amounts
payable under this Section for each calendar year. On or before the first day of
the next month and on or before first day of each month thereafter, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord as additional rent such amount as Landlord reasonably determines
to be necessary to bring and keep Tenant current. As soon as practicable after
the close of each calendar
Landlord:__________ Tenant: __________
2
year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement showing the total amount
payable by Tenant under this Article. If such statement shows an amount due from
Tenant that is less than the estimated payments previously paid by Tenant, it
shall be accompanied by a refund of the excess to Tenant or at Landlord's option
the excess shall be credited against the next monthly installment of rent. If
such statement shows an amount due from Tenant that is more than the estimated
payments paid by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord, as
additional rent. In the event an amount is due and is not paid within thirty
(30) days after the date of Landlord's statement to tenant, the unpaid amount
shall bear interest at the rate of eighteen (18%) percent per annum from the
date of such statement until payment by tenant. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge
that certain of the costs of management, operation and maintenance, of the

shall comply with all laws, rules, orders, ordinances, directions,
regulations and requirements of federal, state, county and municipal
authorities as applicable now in force or which may hereafter be in
force, which shall impose any duty upon the Landlord or Tenant with
respect to the use, occupation or alteration of the premises.
30.01 ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES: Tenant acknowledges that it has inspected the
Premises, knows the condition thereof, and accepts such Premises, and
specifically the buildings and improvements comprising the same, in
their present condition, as suitable for the purposes for which the
Premises are leased. Taking of possession by Tenant shall be deemed
conclusively to establish that said buildings and other improvements
are in good and satisfactory condition as of when possession was taken.
Tenant further acknowledges that no representations as to the repair of
the Premises, nor promises to alter, remodel or improve the Premises
have been made by Landlord, unless such are expressly set forth in this
lease. If this lease is executed before the Premises become vacant or
otherwise available and ready for occupancy, or if any present tenant
or occupant of the Premises holds over, and Landlord cannot, using good
faith efforts, acquire possession of the Premises prior to the date
above recited as the commencement date of this lease, Landlord shall
not be deemed to be in default hereunder, nor in any way liable to
Tenant because of such failure, and Tenant agrees to accept possession
of the Premises at such time as Landlord is able to tender the same,
which date shall thenceforth be deemed the "commencement date"; and the
term of this lease shall automatically be extended so as to include the
full number of months hereinbefore provided for, except that if the
commencement date is other than the first day of calendar month, such
term shall also be extended for the remainder of the calendar month in
which possession is tendered. Landlord hereby waives payment of rent
covering any period prior to such tendering of possession. After the
commencement date, Tenant shall, upon demand, execute and deliver to
Landlord a letter of acceptance of delivery of the Premises.

subcontractors, material men, mechanics and laborers, shall have any
right to file or place mechanic's, material men's or other liens of any
kind whatsoever upon the demised premises or upon the tract of land
described on Exhibit A, or any portion thereof; on the contrary, any
such liens are specifically prohibited and shall be null and void and
of no further force or effect.
Tenant has no power to subject Landlord's interest in the demised
premises to any claim or lien of any kind or character and any persons
dealing with Tenant must look solely to the credit of the Tenant for
payment.
33.01 INSURANCE REQUIREMENT: Certified copies of insurance policies, as
described in paragraph 16.01, together with receipt evidencing payment
of premiums therefore, shall be delivered to Landlord prior to Tenant
taking possession of the Premises. Tenant's failure to provide proof of
insurance shall not delay the Rent Commencement date as defined in
paragraph 2.02 above. In the event Landlord notifies Tenant in writing
that the Premises are ready for occupancy, but Tenant has not furnished
Landlord with proof of insurance, all rent and other charges due under
the lease shall begin to accrue as if Tenant had taken possession of
the Premises as of the date of Landlord's notice.

Offer") from a prospective tenant to lease space contiguous to the
Premises which Landlord desires to accept, Tenant shall have the right
of first refusal, subordinate to any preexisting rights or options to
renew, to lease such space from the Landlord upon the identical terms
and provisions contained in the Outside Offer. Tenant shall have seven
(7) calendar days from receipt of notification by Landlord of the
Outside Offer to elect to exercise this right of first refusal by
providing written notification of such election to the Landlord and
entering into a legally binding agreement. In the event the Tenant
fails to timely exercise this right of first refusal, then the Landlord
shall be free to consummate the lease transaction specified in the
Outside Offer with the prospective tenant which has submitted the
Outside Offer or with any other prospective tenant. Tenant's right of
first refusal shall terminate upon Tenant electing not to exercise its
right, and thereafter Landlord may lease the space without first
offering it to Tenant.

under the Lease (Paragraph 4.01), Tenant agrees to supply Landlord with
an irrevocable Letter of Credit in the amount of $16,906.45 and drawn
