giving LESSOR written notice of the intent to terminate at least six (6) months prior to the end of
the then current term.
5. EXTENSION RENTALS. Commencing on the first annual anniversary of the
Commencement Date and on each annual anniversary thereafter during the term of this Agreement
(including all extension terms described in Paragraph 4 above), annual rent shall increase by an
amount equal to two point five percent (2.5%) of the annual rent due for the immediately preceding
lease year.
6. ADDITIONAL EXTENSIONS. If at the end of the fourth (4th) five (5) year
extension term this Agreement has not been terminated by either Party by giving to the other
written notice of an intention to terminate it at least three (3) months prior to the end of such
term, this Agreement shall continue in force upon the same covenants, terms and conditions for a
further term of five (5) years and for five (5) year terms thereafter until terminated by either
Party by giving to the other written notice of its intention to so terminate at least three (3) months
prior to the end of such term. Annual rental for each year of such additional five (5) year term
shall be an amount equal to the annual rental payable with respect to the immediately preceding
lease year increased by two point five percent (2.5%). The initial term and all extensions shall be
collectively referred to herein as the "Term".
7. TAXES. LESSEE shall have the responsibility to pay any personal property,
real estate taxes, assessments, or charges owed on the Property which LESSOR demonstrates is
the result of LESSEE's use of the Premises and/or the installation, maintenance, and operation of
the LESSEE's improvements, and any sales tax imposed on the rent (except to the extent that
LESSEE is or may become exempt from the payment of sales tax in the jurisdiction in which the
Property is located), including any increase in real estate taxes at the Property which LESSOR
demonstrates arises from the LESSEE's improvements and/or LESSEE's use of the Premises.
LESSOR and. LESSEE shall each be responsible for the payment of any taxes, levies,
assessments and other charges imposed including franchise and similar taxes imposed upon the
business conducted by LESSOR or LESSEE at the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
LESSEE shall not have the obligation to pay any tax, assessment, or charge that LESSEE is
disputing in good faith in appropriate proceedings prior to a final determination that such tax is
properly assessed provided that no lien attaches to the Property. Nothing in this Paragraph shall
be construed as making LESSEE liable for any portion of LESSOR's income taxes in connection
with any Property or otherwise. Except as set forth in this Paragraph, LESSOR shall have the
responsibility to pay any personal property, real estate taxes, assessments, or charges owed on
the Property and shall do so prior to the imposition of any lien on the Property. All amounts due
under this Paragraph 7 shall be paid by LESSEE within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice
sent by LESSOR.
LESSEE shall have the right, at its sole option and at its sole cost and expense, to appeal,
challenge or seek modification of any tax assessment or billing for which LESSEE is wholly or
partly responsible for payment. LESSOR shall reasonably cooperate with LESSEE at LESSEE's
expense in filing, prosecuting and perfecting any appeal or challenge to taxes as set forth in the
preceding sentence, including but not limited to, executing any consent, appeal or other similar
4
document. In the event that as a result of any appeal or challenge by LESSEE, there is a
reduction, credit or repayment received by the LESSOR for any taxes previously paid by
LESSEE, LESSOR agrees to promptly reimburse to LESSEE the amount of said reduction,
credit or repayment. In the event that LESSEE does not have the standing rights to pursue a
good faith and reasonable dispute of any taxes under this paragraph, LESSOR will pursue such
dispute at LESSEE's sole cost and expense upon written request of LESSEE.
8. USE; GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS. LESSEE shall use the Premises for
the purpose of constructing, maintaining, repairing and operating a communications facility and
uses incidental thereto. All improvements, equipment, antennas and conduits shall be at
LESSEE's expense and their installation shall be at the discretion and option of LESSEE.
LESSEUs initial installations shall be subject to LESSOR's prior approval, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Thereafter, LESSEE shall have the right
to replace, repair, add or otherwise modify its initial installations or any portion thereof, without
LESSOR's approval, provided LESSEE does not install any equipment outside the boundaries of
the Premises and/or the structural integrity of the roof of the Building is not adversely affected
by any such replacement, repair, addition or modification. In the event LESSOR's approval is
required, LESSOR agrees not to unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. It is
understood and agreed that LESSEE's ability to use the Premises is contingent upon its obtaining
after the execution date of this Agreement all of the certificates, permits and other approvals
(collectively the "Governmental Approvals") that may be required by any Federal, State or Local
authorities as well as a satisfactory building structural analysis which will permit LESSEE use of
the Premises as set forth above. LESSOR shall cooperate with LESSEE in its effort to obtain
such approvals and shall take no action which would adversely affect the status of the Property
with respect to the proposed use thereof by LESSEE. LESSOR and LESSEE understand and
agree that LESSOR has made no representations or warranties regarding LESSERs ability to
obtain such Governmental Approvals. In the event that (i) any of such applications for such
Governmental Approvals should be finally rejected; (ii) any Governmental Approval issued to
LESSEE is canceled, expires, lapses, or is otherwise withdrawn or terminated by governmental
authority; (iii) LESSEE determines that such Governmental Approvals may not be obtained in a
timely manner; (iv) LESSEE determines that any building structural analysis is unsatisfactory;
(v) LESSEE determines that the Premises is no longer technically compatible for its use, or (vi)
LESSEE, in its sole discretion, determines that the Premises is obsolete or unnecessary, LESSEE
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. Notice of LESSEE's exercise of its right to
terminate shall be given to LESSOR in writing by certified mail, return receipt requested, and
shall be effective upon the mailing of such notice by LESSEE, or upon such later date as
designated by LESSEE. All rentals paid to said termination date shall be retained by LESSOR.
Upon such termination, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect except to the extent
of the representations, warranties and indemnities made by each Party to the other hereunder.
Otherwise, the LESSEE shall have no further obligations for the payment of rent to LESSOR.
9. MAINTENANCE.
a. During the Term, LESSEE will maintain its equipment within the
Premises in good condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, but excluding any items which
are the responsibility of LESSOR pursuant to Paragraph 9(b)below.

and repair, the structural elements of the Building and the Premises, and all existing Building

interior bearing walls, exterior roof fire sprinkler and/or standpipe and hose or other automatic
fire extinguishing system, fire hydrants, parking lots, walkways, parkways, driveways,
landscaping, fences, signs and utility systems serving the common areas, as applicable) and the
common areas. LESSOR shall repair any defect in the above within thirty (30) days, or such
shorter period as may be required by any governmental authority having jurisdiction, after
receipt of written notice from LESSEE describing such defect, unless the defect constitutes an
emergency, in which case LESSOR shall cure the defect as quickly as possible, but not later than
five (5) days after receipt of notice, provided LESSOR shall have such extended period as may
be required beyond the thirty (30) days, as applicable, if the nature of the cure is such that it
reasonably requires more than thirty (30) days and LESSOR commences the cure within the
thirty (30) day period and thereafter continuously and diligently pursues the cure to completion.
If LESSOR fails to make such repairs, LESSEE may do so, and the cost thereof shall be payable
by LESSOR to LESSEE on demand together with interest thereon from the date of payment at
the greater of (i) ten percent (10%) per annum, or (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable
Laws, or, at LESSEE'S option, LESSEE may deduct such amounts paid out of any rents or other
sums that may be due or owing under this Agreement. In the event of an emergency, LESSEE,
at its option, may make such repairs at LESSOR's expense, before giving any written notice, but
LESSEE shall notify LESSOR in writing within three (3) business days following such
emergency.
C. Upon request of the LESSOR, LESSEE at its cost agrees to relocate its
equipment on a temporary basis to another location on the Property, hereinafter referred to as the
"Temporary Relocation," for the purpose of LESSOR performing maintenance, repair or similar
work at the Property or in the Building that cannot be completed without the temporary relocation
of the LESSEE's equipment, provided that:
i. The Temporary Relocation is similar to LESSEE's existing

reasonable determination;
I LESSOR gives LESSEE at least ninety (90) days written notice
prior to requiring LESSEE to relocate;
iii. LESSEE's use at the Premises is not interrupted or diminished
during the relocation and LESSEE is allowed, if necessary, in LESSEE's
reasonable determination, to place a temporary installation on the Property
during any such relocation;
iv. Upon the completion of any maintenance, repair or similar work
by LESSOR, LESSEE is permitted to return to its original location from
the temporary location; and
V. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LESSEE shall pay the cost of such
relocation in the event that such maintenance is required due to the
negligence or willful misconduct of LESSEE or its agents or contractors.
10. INDEMNIFICATION. Subject to Paragraph 11 below, each Party shall
indemnify and hold the other harmless against any claim of liability or loss from personal injury
or property damage resulting from or arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of the
indemnifying Party, its employees, contractors or agents, except to the extent such claims or
damages may be due to or caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the other Party, or
its employees, contractors or agents.
11. INSURANCE.
a. The Parties hereby waive and release any and all rights of action for
negligence against the other which may hereafter arise on account of damage to the Premises or
to the Property, resulting from any fire, or other casualty of the kind covered by standard fire
insurance policies with extended coverage, regardless of whether or not, or in what amounts,
such insurance is now or hereafter carried by the Parties, or either of them. These waivers and
releases shall apply between the Parties and they shall also apply to any claims under or through
either Party as a result of any asserted right of subrogation. All such policies of insurance
obtained by either Party concerning the Premises or the Property shall waive the insurer's right of
subrogation against the other Party.
b. LESSOR and LESSEE each agree that at its own cost and expense, each
will maintain commercial general liability insurance with limits not less than $5,000,000 per
occurrence for injury (including death) and for damage or destruction to property. LESSOR and
LESSEE each agree that it will include the other Party as an additional insured.
C. In addition, LESSOR shall obtain and keep in force during the Term a
policy or policies insuring against loss or damage to the Building in amounts consistent with the
requirements of Chapter 718, Florida Statutes (the Florida Condominium Act).
12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Except for indemnification pursuant to
paragraphs 10 and 30, neither Party shall be liable to the other, or any of their respective agents,
representatives, employees for any lost revenue, lost profits, loss of technology, rights or
services, incidental, punitive, indirect, special or consequential damages, loss of data, or
interruption or loss of use of service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages, whether
under theory of contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise.
13. ANNUAL TERMINATION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, provided LESSEE is not in default hereunder beyond applicable notice and cure periods,
after the expiration of the initial five (5) year term LESSEE shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement upon the annual anniversary of the Commencement Date provided that three (3)
months prior notice is given to LESSOR.
14. INTERFERENCE.
a. LESSEE agrees to install equipment of the type and frequency which will
not cause harmful interference which is measurable in accordance with then existing industry
standards to any equipment of LESSOR or other lessees of the Property which equipment existed
on the Property prior to the date this Agreement is executed by the Parties. In the event any
after -installed LESSEE's equipment causes such interference, and after LESSOR has notified
LESSEE in writing of such interference, within five (5) business days LESSEE will take all
commercially reasonable steps necessary to correct and eliminate the interference, including but
not limited to, at LESSEE's option, powering down such equipment and later powering up such
equipment for intermittent testing. In no event will LESSOR be entitled to terminate this
Agreement or relocate the equipment as long as LESSEE is making a good faith effort to remedy
the interference issue. LESSOR agrees that LESSOR and/or any other tenants of the Property
who currently have or in the future take possession of the Property will be permitted to install
only such equipment that is of the type and frequency which will not cause harmful interference
which is measurable in accordance with then existing industry standards to the then existing
equipment of LESSEE. The Parties acknowledge that there will not be an adequate remedy at
law for noncompliance with the provisions of this Paragraph and therefore, either Party shall
have the right to equitable remedies, such as, without limitation, injunctive relief and specific
performance.
b. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, LESSEE
specifically acknowledges and agrees that any and all personal consumer electronics, appliances
and equipment that one might reasonably expect to be on or about a structure such as the
Building (including, for example but without limitation, televisions, radios, computers, washers,
dryers and similar equipment) may be operated on the Property by LESSOR's unit owners and
invitees. If at any time LESSEE's equipment causes interference with such personal consumer
devices (as long as such devices are operating in accordance with law, including, if applicable,
on the appropriate FCC -licensed frequencies), LESSEE agrees to correct the problem within
thirty (30) days of being notified of same in writing, provided however, if LESSOR includes
evidence that LESSEE's equipment is the source of such interference with such written notice
then LESSEE shall promptly take all commercially reasonable steps necessary to correct and
eliminate the interference. Should such interference not be able to be corrected within thirty (30)
days of such written notification, then LESSEE shall be obligated to power down the equipment
of LESSEE causing the interference until such time as the interference can be cured (however,
LESSEE may power up such equipment from time to time for intermittent testing purposes). If
said interference cannot be cured within ninety (90) days, then LESSEE, in its sole discretion,
may elect to terminate this Agreement.
15. REMOVAL AT END OF TERM. LESSEE shall, upon expiration of the Term, or
within sixty (60) days after any earlier termination of the Agreement, remove its equipment,
conduits, fixtures and all personal property and restore the Premises to its original condition,
reasonable wear and tear and casualty damage excepted. LESSOR agrees and acknowledges that
all of the equipment, conduits, fixtures and personal property of LESSEE shall remain the
personal property of LESSEE and LESSEE shall have the right to remove the same at any time
during the Term, whether or not said items are considered fixtures and attachments to real
property under applicable Laws (as defined in Paragraph 34 below). If such time for removal
causes LESSEE to remain on the Premises after termination of this Agreement, LESSEE shall
pay rent at the then existing monthly rate or on the existing monthly pro-rata basis if based upon
8
a longer payment term, until such time as the removal of the building, antenna structure, fixtures
and all personal property are completed. LESSOR expressly waives all rights of levy, distraint or
execution with respect to LESSEE's property, including without limitation any statutory or
common law security interest or landlord's lien for rent.
16. HOLDOVER. LESSEE has no right to retain possession of the Premises or any
part thereof beyond the expiration of that removal period set forth in Paragraph 15 herein, unless
the Parties are negotiating a new lease or lease extension in good faith. In the event that the
Parties are not in the process of negotiating a new lease or lease extension in good faith, LESSEE
holds over in violation of Paragraph 15 and this Paragraph 16, then the rent then in effect payable
from and after the time of the expiration or earlier removal period set forth in Paragraph 15 shall
be equal to the rent applicable during the month immediately preceding such expiration or earlier
termination. In addition to the foregoing, in the event LESSEE retains possession of the
Premises beyond the timeframes designated above, LESSOR shall have all rights granted under
Florida law.
17. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. If LESSOR elects, during the Term (i) to sell or
otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Property, whether separately or as part of a larger
parcel of which the Property is a part, or (ii) to grant to a third party by easement or other legal
instrument an interest in and to that portion of the Building and or Property occupied by
LESSEE, or a larger portion thereof, for the purpose of operating and maintaining
communications facilities or the management thereof, with or without an assignment of this
Agreement to such third party, LESSEE shall have the right of first refusal to meet any bona fide
offer of sale or transfer on the same terms and conditions of such offer. If LESSEE fails to meet
such bona fide offer within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from LESSOR, LESSOR
may sell or grant the easement or interest in the Property or portion thereof to such third person
in accordance with the terms and conditions of such third party offer. For purposes of this
Paragraph, any transfer, bequest or devise of LESSOR's interest in the Property as a result of the
death of LESSOR, whether by will or intestate succession, or any conveyance to LESSOR's
family members by direct conveyance or by conveyance to a trust for the benefit of family
members shall not be considered a sale of the Property for which LESSEE has any right of first
refusal.
18. RIGHTS UPON SALE. Should LESSOR at any time during the Term decide (i)
to sell or transfer all or any part of the Property or the Building thereon to a purchaser other than
LESSEE or (ii) to grant to a third party by easement or other legal instrument an interest in and
to that portion of the Building and or Property occupied by LESSEE, or a larger portion thereof,
for the purpose of operating and maintaining communications facilities or the management
thereof, such sale or grant of an easement or interest therein shall be under and subject to this
Agreement and any such purchaser or transferee shall recognize LESSEE's rights hereunder
under the terns of this Agreement. To the extent that LESSOR grants to a third party by
easement or other legal instrument an interest in and to that portion of the Building and/or
Property occupied by LESSEE for the purpose of operating and maintaining communications
facilities or the management thereof and in conjunction therewith, assigns this Agreement to said
third party, LESSOR shall not be released from its obligations to LESSEE under this Agreement,
and LESSEE shall have the right to look to LESSOR and the third party for the full performance
of this Agreement.

19. QUIET ENJOYMENT. LESSOR covenants that LESSEE, on paying the rent and
performing the covenants herein, shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises.
20. TITLE. LESSOR covenants that it is an "association" as defined in Chapter 718
of the Florida Statutes (the "Condominium Acf) and that the Premises is part of the "common
elements" of a "condominium" (both as defined in the Condominium Act). LESSOR covenants

LESSOR or the Property that prevent the use of the Premises by LESSEE as set forth in this
Agreement. LESSOR agrees to indemnify and hold LESSEE harmless from any loss or liability

covenants made by LESSOR in this paragraph.
21. INTEGRATION. It is agreed and understood that this Agreement contains all
agreements, promises and understandings between LESSOR and LESSEE and that no verbal or
oral agreements, promises or understandings shall be binding upon either LESSOR or LESSEE
in any dispute, controversy or proceeding at law, and any addition, variation or modification to
this Agreement shall be void and ineffective unless made in writing signed by the Parties or in a
written acknowledgment in the case provided in Paragraph 3. In the event any provision of the
Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, such finding shall not affect the validity and
enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement. The failure of either Party to insist
upon strict performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement or to exercise any of
its rights under the Agreement shall not waive such rights and such Party shall have the right to
enforce such rights at any time and take such action as may be lawful and authorized under this
Agreement, in law or in equity.
22. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement and the performance thereof shall be

27. RECORDING. LESSOR agrees to execute a Memorandum of this Agreement
which LESSEE may record with the appropriate recording officer. The date set forth in the

28. DEFAULT.
a. In the event there is a breach by LESSEE with respect to any of the
provisions of this Agreement or its obligations under it, including the payment of rent, LESSOR
shall give LESSEE written notice of such breach. After receipt of such written notice, LESSEE
shall have fifteen (15) days in which to cure any monetary breach and thirty (30) days in which
to cure any non -monetary breach, provided LESSEE shall have such extended period as may be
required beyond the thirty (30) days if the nature of the cure is such that it reasonably requires
more than thirty (30) days and LESSEE commences the cure within the thirty (30) day period
and thereafter continuously and diligently pursues the cure to completion. LESSOR may not
maintain any action or effect any remedies for default against LESSEE unless and until LESSEE
has failed to cure the breach within the time periods provided in this Paragraph.
b. In the event there is a breach by LESSOR with respect to any of the
provisions of this Agreement or its obligations under it, LESSEE shall give LESSOR written
notice of such breach. After receipt of such written notice, LESSOR shall have thirty (30) days
in which to cure any such breach, provided LESSOR shall have such extended period as may be
11
required beyond the thirty (30) days if the nature of the cure is such that it reasonably requires
more than thirty (30) days and LESSOR commences the cure within the thirty (30) day period
and thereafter continuously and diligently pursues the cure to completion. LESSEE may not
maintain any action or effect any remedies for default against LESSOR unless and until
LESSOR has failed to cure the breach within the time periods provided in this Paragraph.
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, it shall be a default under this Agreement if
LESSOR fails, within five (5) days after receipt of written notice of such breach, to perform an
obligation required to be performed by LESSOR if the failure to perform such an obligation
interferes with LESSEE's ability to conduct its business in the Building; provided, however, that
if the nature of LESSOR's obligation is such that more than five (5) days after such notice is
reasonably required for its performance, then it shall not be a default under this Agreement if
performance is commenced within such five (5) day period and thereafter diligently pursued to
completion. LESSEE may not maintain any action or effect any remedies for default against
LESSOR unless and until LESSOR has failed to cure the breach within the time periods
provided in this Paragraph.
29. REMEDIES. Upon a default, the non -defaulting Party shall have all rights
afforded at law or in equity. Additionally, the non -defaulting Party may at its option (but
without obligation to do so), perform the defaulting Party's duty or obligation on the defaulting
Party's behalf, including but not limited to the obtaining of reasonably required insurance
policies. The costs and expenses of any such performance by the non -defaulting Party shall be
due and payable by the defaulting Party upon invoice therefor. In the event of a default by either
Party with respect to a material provision of this Agreement, without limiting the non -defaulting
Parry in the exercise of any right or remedy which the non -defaulting Party may have by reason
of such default, the non -defaulting Party may terminate the Agreement and/or pursue any remedy
now or hereafter available to the non -defaulting Party under the Laws or judicial decisions of the
state in which the Premises are located; provided, however, LESSOR shall use reasonable efforts
to mitigate its damages in connection with a default by LESSEE. If the non -defaulting Party so
performs any of defaulting Party's obligations hereunder, the full amount of the reasonable and
actual cost and expense incurred by the non -defaulting Party shall immediately be due and
owing. In the event that LESSOR so performs any of LESSEE's obligations hereunder such
amount due shall be considered additional rent hereunder. In the event LESSEE performs any of
LESSOR's obligations hereunder, LESSOR shall pay to LESSEE upon demand the full
undisputed amount thereof with interest thereon from the date of payment at the greater of (i) ten
percent (10%) per annum, or (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable Laws. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if LESSOR does not pay LESSEE the full undisputed amount within thirty (30)
days of its receipt of an invoice setting forth the amount due from LESSOR, LESSEE may offset
the full undisputed amount, including all accrued interest, due against all fees due and owing to
LESSOR until the full undisputed amount, including all accrued interest, is fully reimbursed to
LESSEE.
30. ENVIRONMENTAL.
a. LESSOR will be responsible for all obligations of compliance with any
and all environmental and industrial hygiene laws, including any regulations, guidelines,
s andards, or policies of any governmental authorities regulating or imposing standards of
li, bility or standards of conduct with regard to any environmental or industrial hygiene
12
conditions or concerns as may now or at any time hereafter be in effect, that are or were in any
way related to activity now conducted in, on, or in any way related to the Building or Property,
unless such conditions or concerns are caused by the specific activities of LESSEE in the
Premises.
b. LESSOR shall hold LESSEE harmless and indemnify LESSEE from and
assume all duties, responsibility and liability at LESSOR's sole cost and expense, for all duties,
responsibilities, and liability (for payment of penalties, sanctions, forfeitures, losses, costs, or
damages) and for responding to any action, notice, claim, order, summons, citation, directive,
litigation, investigation or proceeding which is in any way related to: a) failure to comply with
any environmental or industrial hygiene law, including without limitation any regulations,
guidelines, standards, or policies of any governmental authorities regulating or imposing
standards of liability or standards of conduct with regard to any environmental or industrial
hygiene concerns or conditions as may now or at any time hereafter be in effect, unless such non-
compliance results from conditions caused by LESSEE; and b) any environmental or industrial
hygiene conditions arising out of or in any way related to the condition of the Building or
Property or activities conducted thereon, unless such environmental conditions are caused by
LESSEE.
31. CASUALTY. In the event of damage by fire or other casualty to the Building or
Premises that cannot reasonably be expected to be repaired within forty-five (45) days following
same or, if the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty so that such damage may reasonably
be expected to disrupt LESSEE's operations at the Premises for more than forty-five (45) days,
then LESSEE may, at any time following such fire or other casualty, provided LESSOR has not
completed the restoration required to permit LESSEE to resume its operation at the Premises,
terminate this Agreement upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to LESSOR. Any such
notice of termination shall cause this Agreement to expire with the same force and effect as
though the date set forth in such notice were the date originally set as the expiration date of this
Agreement and the Parties shall make an appropriate adjustment, as of such termination date,
with respect to payments due to the other under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the rent shall abate during the period of repair following such fire or other casualty in proportion
to the degree to which LESSEE's use of the Premises is impaired. However, rent shall not abate
in the event that such casualty was the result of the negligence or intentional misconduct of
LESSEE or its agents or contractors.
32. CONDEMNATION. In the event of any condemnation of all or any portion of
the Property, this Agreement shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning
authority takes title or possession, whichever occurs first. If as a result of a partial condemnation
of the Premises or Building, LESSEE, in LESSEE's sole discretion, is unable to use the Premises
for the purposes intended hereunder, or if such condemnation may reasonably be expected to
disrupt LESSEE's operations at the Premises for more than forty-five (45) days, LESSEE may, at
LESSEE'S option, to be exercised in writing within fifteen (15) days after LESSOR shall have
given LESSEE written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within fifteen (15)
days after the condemning authority shall have taken possession) terminate this Agreement as of
the date the condemning authority takes such possession. LESSEE may on its own behalf make
a claim in any condemnation proceeding involving the Premises for losses related to the
equipment, conduits, fixtures, its relocation costs and its damages and losses (but not for the loss
13
of its leasehold interest). Any such notice of termination shall cause this Agreement to expire
with the same force and effect as though the date set forth in such notice were the date originally
set as the expiration date of this Agreement and the Parties shall make an appropriate adjustment
as of such termination date with respect to payments due to the other under this Agreement. If
LESSEE does not terminate this Agreement in accordance with the foregoing, this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the
rent shall be reduced in the same proportion as the rentable floor area of the Premises taken bears
to the total rentable floor area of the Premises. In the event that this Agreement is not terminated
by reason of such condemnation, LESSOR shall promptly repair any damage to the Premises
caused by such condemning authority.
33. SUBMISSION OF AGREEMENT/PARTIAL INVALIDITY/AUTHORITY. The
submission of this Agreement for examination does not constitute an offer to lease the Premises
and this Agreement becomes effective only upon the full execution of this Agreement by the
Parties. If any provision herein is invalid, it shall be considered deleted from this Agreement and
shall not invalidate the remaining provisions of this Agreement. Each of the Parties hereto
warrants to the other that the person or persons executing this Agreement on behalf of such Party
has the full right, power and authority to enter into and execute this Agreement on such Parry's
behalf and that no consent from any other person or entity is necessary as a condition precedent
to the legal effect of this Agreement.
34. APPLICABLE LAWS. During the Term, LESSOR shall maintain, as it relates to
LESSEE's use, the Property, the Building, Building systems, common areas of the Building, and
all structural elements of the Premises in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations,
ordinances, directives, covenants, easements, zoning and land use regulations, and restrictions of
record, permits, building codes, and the requirements of any applicable fire insurance
underwriter or rating bureau, now in effect or which may hereafter come into effect (including,
without limitation, laws regulating hazardous substances) (collectively "Laws"). LESSEE shall,
in respect to the condition of the Premises and at LESSEE's sole cost and expense, comply with
(a) all Laws relating solely to LESSEE's specific and unique nature of use of the Premises (other
than general office use); and (b) all building codes requiring modifications to the Premises due to
the improvements being made by LESSEE in the Premises. It shall be LESSOR's obligation to
comply with all Laws relating to the Building in general, without regard to specific use
(including, without limitation, modifications required to enable LESSEE to obtain all necessary
building permits).
35. SURVIVAL. The provisions of the Agreement relating to indemnification from
one Party to the other Party shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
Additionally, any provisions of this Agreement which require performance subsequent to the
termination or expiration of this Agreement shall also survive such termination or expiration.
36. CAPTIONS. The captions contained in this Agreement are inserted for
convenience only and are not intended to be part of the Agreement. They shall not affect or be
utilized in the construction or interpretation of the Agreement.
37. RADON GAS. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has
accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are
14
exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines have been found
in buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be
obtained from your county health department. This notice is provided pursuant to Section
