10.        COVENANT AGAINST LIENS - Tenant has no authority or power to cause or permit any lien or encumbrance of any kind whatsoever, whether created by act of Tenant, operation of law or otherwise, to attach to or be placed upon Landlord’s title or interest in the Land, Building or Premises, and any and all liens and encumbrances created by Tenant shall attach to Tenant’s interest only. Tenant covenants and agrees not to suffer or permit any lien of mechanics or materialmen or others to be placed against the Land, Building or the Premises with respect to work or services claimed to have been performed for or materials claimed to have been furnished to Tenant or the Premises, and, in case of any such lien attaching, Tenant covenants and agrees to cause it to be immediately released and removed of record.
 
In the event that such lien is not immediately released and removed, Landlord, at its sole option, may take all action necessary to release and remove such lien (without any duty to investigate the validity thereof). Tenant shall promptly upon notice reimburse Landlord for all sums, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord in connection with any lien described in this section, and the same shall be deemed to be Additional Charges due hereunder.
 
11.        INSURANCE.
 
(a)        Waiver of Subrogation - So long as their respective insurers so permit, Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive any and every claim for recovery from the other for any and all loss of or damage to the Building or Premises or to the contents thereof, which loss or damage is covered by valid and collectible fire and extended coverage insurance policies, to the extent that such loss or damage is recoverable under said policies. Inasmuch as this mutual waiver will preclude the assignment of any such claim by subrogation (or otherwise) to an insurance company (or any other person), Landlord and Tenant each agree to give to each insurance company which has issued, or in the future may issue, to either of them policies of fire and extended coverage insurance, written notice of the terms of this mutual waiver, and to have said insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of said insurance coverage by reason of said waiver.
 
(b)        Coverage - Tenant shall carry insurance during the entire Term insuring Tenant and Landlord as their interests may appear with terms, coverages and in companies satisfactory to Landlord, and with such increases in limits as Landlord may from time to time request, but initially Tenant shall maintain the following coverages in the following amounts:
 
(i)        In case of personal injury to or death of any person or persons, not less than $1,000,000 for each injury or death to a person and $3,000,000 for each incident involving personal injury or death to persons and, in case of property damage, not less than $1,000,000 for any one occurrence; and
 
(ii)        In case of fire, sprinkler leakage, malicious mischief, vandalism, and other extended coverage perils, for the full insurable replacement value of all additions, improvements and alterations to the Premises and of all office furniture, trade fixtures, office equipment, merchandise and all other items of Tenant’s property on the Premises.
 
Tenant shall, prior to the commencement of the Term, furnish to Landlord certificates evidencing such coverage, which certificates shall state that such insurance coverage may not be changed or canceled without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord and Tenant.
 
(c)        Avoid Action Increasing Rates - Tenant shall comply with all applicable laws and ordinances, all orders and decrees of court and all requirements of other governmental authorities, and shall not directly or indirectly, make any use of the Premises which may thereby be prohibited or be dangerous to persons or property or which may jeopardize any insurance coverage, or may increase the cost of insurance or require additional insurance coverage. In no event shall Tenant permit in the Premises any hazardous wastes or any flammables such as gasoline, turpentine, kerosene, naphtha and benzene, explosives or any other article of intrinsically dangerous nature, and in no event shall Tenant, its agents, employees or invitees bring any such hazardous wastes, flammables or other articles into the Building or onto the Land.  If by reason of the failure of Tenant to comply with the provisions of this Section 11(c), any insurance coverage is jeopardized or insurance premiums are increased, Landlord shall have the option either to terminate this Lease or to require Tenant to make immediate payment of the increased insurance premium, as the case may be, and the same shall be deemed Additional Charges due hereunder.

12.        FIRE OR CASUALTY.
 
(a)        Restoration/Cancellation Upon Major Damage - If the Premises or the Building (including machinery or equipment used in its operation but excluding any parking structure) shall be damaged by fire or other casualty and if such damage does not render all or a substantial portion of the Building or the Premises untenantable, then Landlord shall repair and restore the same with reasonable promptness if Landlord’s lender allows the insurance proceeds to be used for restoration and repair, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustments and delays caused by matters beyond Landlord’s control. If any such damage renders all or a substantial portion of the Building or the Premises untenantable, Landlord shall with reasonable promptness after the occurrence of such damage estimate the length of time that will be required to substantially complete the repair and restoration of such damage and shall by notice advise Tenant of such estimate. If such estimate is that the amount of time required to substantially complete the repair and restoration will exceed two hundred seventy (270) days from the date such damage occurred, then either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of such damage upon giving notice to the other at any time within twenty (20) days after Landlord gives Tenant the notice containing said estimate (it being understood that Landlord may, if it elects to do so, also give such notice of termination together with the notice containing such estimate). Unless this Lease is terminated as provided in the preceding sentence, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable promptness to repair and restore the Premises but Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, and Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease, in the event such repairs and restoration are not in fact completed within the time period estimated by Landlord, as aforesaid, or within said two hundred seventy (270) days. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein set forth, Landlord shall have no duty pursuant to this Section 12 to repair or restore any portion of the alterations, additions or improvements in the Premises or the decoration thereto except to the extent that such alterations, additions, improvements and decoration are equivalent to the standard tenant improvements then offered in the Building.  If Tenant wants any other or additional repairs or restoration and if Landlord consents thereto, the same shall be done at Tenant’s expense subject to all of the provisions of Section 9 hereof.
 
(b)        Rent Abatement - In the event any such fire or casualty damage not caused by the act or neglect of Tenant, its agents or servants, renders all or a substantial portion of the Premises untenantable and if this Lease shall not be terminated pursuant to Section 12(a) hereof by reason of such damage, then Rent shall abate during the period beginning with the date of such damage and ending with the date when Landlord tenders the Premises (or that portion of the Premises) to Tenant as being ready for occupancy. Such abatement shall be in an amount bearing the same ratio to the total amount of Rent for such period as the portion of the Premises not ready for occupancy from time to time bears to the entire Premises.
 
13.        WAIVER OF CLAIMS/INDEMNIFICATION - To the extent not prohibited by law, Landlord and its officers, agents, servants and employees shall not be liable for any damage either to persons or property or resulting from the loss of use thereof sustained by Tenant or by other persons due to the Building, Premises or any part thereof or any appurtenances thereof becoming out of repair, or due to the happening of any accident or event in or about the Building or Premises, or due to act or any neglect of any tenant or occupant of the Building or Premises or of any other person. This provision shall apply particularly (but not exclusively) to damage caused by gas, electricity, frost, steam, sewage, sewer gas or odors, fire, water or by the bursting or leaking of pipes, faucets, sprinklers, plumbing fixtures, and windows, and shall apply without distinction as to the person whose act or neglect was responsible for the damage and whether the damage was due to any of the causes specifically enumerated above or to some other cause of an entirely different kind. Tenant further agrees that all personal property upon the Premises, or upon loading docks, receiving and holding areas, or freight elevators of the Building, shall be at the risk of Tenant only, and that Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage thereto or theft thereof. Without limitation of any other provisions hereof, Tenant agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and save harmless Landlord from and against all liability to third parties arising out of the acts or negligence of Tenant and its servants, agents, employees, contractors, suppliers, workmen or invitees, or related to Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises.

14.        NONWAIVER - No waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be implied by any failure of Landlord to enforce any remedy on account of the violation of such provision even if such violation be continued or repeated subsequently, and no express waiver shall affect any provision other than the one specified in such waiver and that one provision only for the time and in the manner specifically stated. No receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease will in any way alter the length of the Term or of Tenant’s right of possession hereunder or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term or affect any notice given Tenant prior to the receipt of such monies, it being agreed that after the service of notice or the commencement of a suit or after final judgment for possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and the payment of said Rent shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment.
 
15.        CONDEMNATION - If the Land or the Building or any portion thereof which includes a substantial part of the Premises or which prevents the economical operation of the Building or Premises shall be taken or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, the Term of this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall end upon, and not before, the date when the possession of the part so taken shall be required for such use or purpose and without apportionment of the condemnation award. Tenant shall have no right to share in such award, but may seek its own award for loss of or damage to Tenant’s business or its property resulting from such taking (provided that such an award to Tenant does not in any way diminish the award payable to Landlord on account of such taking). If the Lease is terminated, then current Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination.
 
16.        ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING - Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord which consent may be withheld for any reason or no reason whatsoever, (1) assign, convey or mortgage this Lease or any interest hereunder; (2) suffer to occur or permit to exist any assignment of this Lease, or any lien upon Tenant’s interest, involuntarily or by operation of law; (3) sublet the Premises or any part thereof; or (4) permit the use of the Premises by any parties other than Tenant and its employees. Landlord’s consent to any assignment, subletting or transfer or Landlord’s election to accept any assignee, sublessee or transferee as Tenant hereunder shall not release the original Tenant from any covenant or obligation under this Lease.  Landlord’s consent to any assignment, subletting or transfer shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to withhold its consent to any future assignment, subletting or transfer.  In no event may Tenant assign or sublet to an existing tenant (or affiliate thereof) of the Building.
 
Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of any proposed assignment or sublease which notice shall contain the proposed principal terms thereof, and upon receipt of such notice, Landlord shall have the option to terminate the Lease in the case of a proposed assignment or a proposed sublease of all of the Premises, or if Tenant proposes to sublease less than all of the Premises, to terminate the Lease with respect to the portion to be so subleased, in which latter event the Rent and Additional Charges shall be adjusted on the basis of square feet of the Premises which remain under this Lease. If Landlord wishes to exercise such option to terminate, Landlord shall, within thirty days (30) after Landlord’s receipt of such notice from Tenant, send to Tenant a notice so stating and in such notice Landlord shall specify the date as of which such termination is effective, which date shall be not less than thirty (30) and not more than ninety (90) days after the date on which Landlord sends such notice.  If Landlord does not elect to terminate as aforesaid, Landlord may withhold its consent to any proposed assignment or sublease for any reason or no reason whatsoever.  Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has a vital interest in the nature, variety and location of tenants in the Building as a whole and that Landlord’s right to withhold its consent on the aforesaid basis to any proposed assignment or subletting is a material consideration for the Rent and terms contained in this Lease.
 
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 16 to the contrary, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, but approves a proposed subletting or assignment by Tenant and such subletting or assignment will be made by Tenant for a yearly rent (or such portion thereof) in excess of the Rent (or such portion thereof) then currently paid by Tenant (except in the case of subleases to an affiliate of Tenant), Landlord shall be paid as Additional Charges all of the excess amount.

It shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed assignment or sublease (“Transfer”) where one or more of the following apply, without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent: (a) the Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business that is not consistent with the quality of the Building, (b) the Transferee intends to use the Premises for purposes that are not permitted under this Lease, (c) the Transferee is either a governmental agency or an instrumentality thereof, (d) the Transfer will result in more than a reasonable and safe number of occupants within the Premises, (e) the Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth or financial stability in light of the responsibilities involved under this Lease on the date consent is requested, as determined by Landlord, (f) the Transfer would cause a violation of another lease or any agreement to which Landlord is a party, or would give an occupant of the Building a right to cancel its lease; (g) either the Transferee or an affiliate of the Transferee (x) occupies space in the Building at the time of the request for consent; (y) is negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the Building at such time; or (z) has negotiated with Landlord during the twelve (12)-month period immediately preceding the notice of Transfer.
 
17.        SURRENDER OF POSSESSION - Upon the expiration of the Term or upon the termination of Tenant’s right of possession, whether by lapse of time or at the option of Landlord as herein provided, Tenant shall forthwith surrender the Premises to Landlord in good order, repair and condition, ordinary wear excepted. All permanent alterations, improvements and additions to the Premises, made or paid for by Landlord or Tenant, shall without compensation to Tenant become Landlord’s property at the termination of this Lease by lapse of time or otherwise and shall be relinquished to Landlord in good condition, ordinary wear excepted. Tenant shall remove all of its property from the Premises. Tenant agrees to remove at the termination of the Term or of its right of possession the following items of property: office furniture, trade fixtures, office equipment and all other items of Tenant’s property or temporary improvements on the Premises, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand the cost of repairing any damage to the Premises and to the Building caused by any such removal. If Tenant shall fail or refuse to remove any such property from the Premises, Tenant shall be conclusively presumed to have abandoned the same, and title thereto shall thereupon pass to Landlord without any cost either by set-off, credit, allowance or otherwise, and Landlord may at its option accept the title to such property or at Tenant’s expense may (1) remove the same or any part in any manner that Landlord shall choose, and (2) store, destroy or otherwise dispose of the same without incurring liability to Tenant or any other person.
 
18.        HOLDING OVER - Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount as Rent equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the Rent for the last year of the Term (as provided in Schedule 1) during each month or portion thereof for which Tenant shall retain possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the termination of the Term or of Tenant’s right of possession, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, and also shall pay all reasonable damages sustained by Landlord on account thereof. The provisions of this Section 18 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law.
 
19.        ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE - Tenant agrees that upon request by Landlord, that Tenant will deliver to Landlord a statement in writing certifying (1) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that the Lease as modified is in full force and effect); (2) the dates on which Tenant began paying Rent and that no Rent has been paid in advance; (3) that neither Tenant nor Landlord is in default under any provision of this Lease, or, if in default, the nature thereof in detail; (4) that Tenant has no existing defenses or offsets to the enforcement of the Lease or, if any, specifying same; (5) provided the Commencement Date has occurred, that Tenant has accepted and occupied the Premises and that the Premises have been completed in accordance with the terms hereof; and (6) such other information as Landlord may reasonably require; it being intended that any such statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser, mortgagee or tenant of the Building, or any prospective assignee of any mortgage thereof. Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever instruments may be required for such purposes, and in the event Tenant fails so to do within five (5) days after demand in writing Tenant shall be considered in default under this Lease.

Tenant shall at Landlord’s request execute such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination of this Lease to any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground leases or underlying leases.
 
21.        CERTAIN RIGHTS RESERVED BY LANDLORD - Landlord shall have the following rights, each of which Landlord may exercise without liability to Tenant for damage or injury to property, persons or business on account of the exercise thereof, and the exercise of any such rights shall not be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use or possession of the Premises and shall not give rise to any claim for set-off or abatement of rent or any other claim:

23.        DEFAULT/LANDLORD’S REMEDIES - If (i) a payment of the Rent or any installment thereof or any other sum required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease or under the terms of any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant is not made when same becomes due, (ii) Tenant breaches its obligation to observe or perform any of the other covenants or conditions in this Lease and such breach shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after written notice to Tenant, (iii) Tenant’s breach involves a hazardous condition and is not cured by Tenant immediately upon written notice to Tenant, (iv) the interest of Tenant in this Lease shall be levied on under execution or other legal process, (v) voluntary petition in bankruptcy or for corporate reorganization or any similar relief shall be filed by Tenant, (vi) any involuntary petition in bankruptcy shall be filed against Tenant under any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency act and shall not have been dismissed within thirty (30) days from the filing thereof, (vii) a receiver shall be appointed for Tenant or any of the property of Tenant by any court and such receiver shall not have been dismissed within thirty (30) days from the date of his appointment, (viii) Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (ix) Tenant shall admit in writing Tenant’s inability to meet Tenant’s debts as they mature, or (x) the Premises are vacated, abandoned or deserted during the Term, then Landlord may treat the occurrence of any one or more of the foregoing events as a default of Tenant under this Lease, and thereupon at its option may, with or without notice or demand of any kind to Tenant or any other person, have any one or more of the following described remedies in addition to all other rights and remedies provided at law or in equity or elsewhere herein:
 
(a)        Landlord may (1) terminate this Lease and the Term created thereby, and thereupon re-enter and take possession of the Premises, with or without legal process, and/or (2) at its option and without further notice, declare the Rent, for the entire remaining Term of this Lease, and any other indebtedness hereunder, if any, immediately due and payable without regard to whether or not possession shall have been surrendered to or taken by Landlord, and may commence action immediately thereupon and recover judgment therefor.
 
 
10

 
 
(b)        Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right of possession and may repossess the Premises by forcible entry and detainer suit, by taking peaceful possession or otherwise, without terminating the Lease, in which event Landlord may, but shall be under no obligation to, relet the same for the account of Tenant, for such rent and upon such terms as shall be satisfactory to Landlord. For the purpose of such reletting, Landlord is authorized to decorate or to make any repairs at Tenant’s cost. If Landlord shall fail to relet the Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages a sum equal to the amount of the Rent reserved in this Lease for the balance of its original Term. If the Premises are relet and the sum realized from the collection of the rent accruing therefrom, after deducting all of the (i) costs and expenses of such decorations, repairs, changes, alterations and additions; and (ii) expenses (including commissions) of such reletting, are not equal to or greater than the Rent provided for in this Lease, Tenant shall satisfy and pay any such deficiency upon demand therefor from time to time. Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums falling due under the terms of this Section 23 from time to time and that no suit or recovery of any portion due Landlord hereunder shall be any defense to any subsequent action brought for any amount not theretofore reduced to judgment in favor of Landlord.
 
24.        LITIGATION/GOVERNING LAW - In the event of litigation, the prevailing party shall be entitled to collect its attorney’s fees and costs from the non-prevailing party.  Venue and jurisdiction for any action involving this Lease shall be exclusively in the courts of Palm Beach County, Florida.  This Lease shall be governed under the laws of the State of Florida.
 
25.        COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT - Landlord covenants that Tenant, on paying the Rent, Additional Charges, and other payments herein reserved, and, on keeping, observing and performing all the other terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements herein contained on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed, and performed, shall, during the Term, peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises subject to the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions, and agreements hereof.
 
26.        SECURITY DEPOSIT- Tenant hereby deposits with Landlord the security deposit shown on Schedule 1 (“Security Deposit”), as security for the prompt, full and faithful performance by Tenant of each and every provision of this Lease and of all obligations of Tenant hereunder.
 
(a)        If Tenant fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, Landlord may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of (1) any Rent or other sums of money which Tenant may not have paid when due, (2) any sum expended by Landlord on Tenant’s behalf in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, or (3) any sum which Landlord may expend or be required to expend by reason of Tenant’s default, including, without limitation, any damage or deficiency in or from the reletting of the Premises as provided in Section 23. The use, application or retention of the Security Deposit, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by law (it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the Security Deposit) and shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. If any portion of the Security Deposit is used, applied or retained by Landlord for the purposes set forth above, Tenant agrees, within ten (10) days after the written demand therefor is made by Landlord, to deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount.
 
(b)        If Tenant shall fully and faithfully comply with all of the provisions of this Lease, the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof, shall be returned to Tenant without interest after the expiration of the Term or upon any later date after which Tenant has vacated the Premises. In the absence of evidence satisfactory to Landlord of any permitted assignment of the right to receive the Security Deposit, or of the remaining balance thereof, Landlord may return the same to the original Tenant, regardless of one or more assignments of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the Security Deposit. In such event, upon the return of the Security Deposit, or the remaining balance thereof, to the original Tenant, Landlord shall be completely relieved of liability under this Section 26 or otherwise with respect to the Security Deposit.
 
 
11

 
 
(c)        Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has the right to transfer its interest in the Land and Building and in this Lease and Tenant agrees that in the event of any such transfer, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the Security Deposit to the transferee.
