Tenant shall have no right to enter or occupy the Premises until the Premises are Ready for Occupancy, except for purposes of installing vaults which of its nature requires installation prior to opening for business with prior written approval and consent from Landlord and provided such work must accommodate Landlord’s construction schedule and process. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in the event that Landlord does not deliver the Premises to the Tenant in the condition required under this within ninety (90) days following the Scheduled Completion Date, Tenant may, in its sole discretion, elect to terminate this Lease upon five (5) days written notice to Landlord provided such notice is given within thirty (30) days following such period.

Such plans and specifications shall substantially comply with all requirements set forth in Exhibit "C". Tenant shall not commence any work in the Premises until Landlord has approved such plans and specifications, in writing, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord shall approve or disapprove (with reasonable specificity) Tenant’s plans and specifications in writing within thirty (30) days after Landlord has received the same from Tenant. In the event that Landlord fails to timely approve or disapprove Tenant’s plans and specification as required herein, then Landlord shall be deemed to have granted its approval.

3.2 The first monthly installment shall be due and payable on or before the Rental Commencement Date (except that if the Rental Commencement Date falls on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the first payment shall be an amount equal to that percentage of monthly installment which the number of days from the Rental Commencement Date to the end of such calendar month bears to the total number of days in such month) and a like installment, unless adjusted upward as provided below, shall be due and payable without notice on or before the first day of each succeeding calendar month during the Term. Unless otherwise specifically provided for in this lease, the covenant of Tenant to pay all rents hereunder is and shall be deemed a separate and independent covenant and Tenant shall have no right of deduction or set-off whatsoever. It is agreed that after the First Lease Year and during the Lease Term and Option Periods, Minimum Guaranteed Rental shall be computed as follows: Multiply the Minimum Guaranteed Rental provided for in Article 1.1 (g) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Consumer Price Index established for the last preceding December, and the denominator of which is the Consumer Price Index established for the month preceding the Rental Commencement Date of this lease. If the product thus ascertained is greater than the Minimum Guaranteed Rental, said product shall be the new Minimum Guaranteed Rental payable to Landlord by Tenant during each month of the ensuing Lease Year; and if the product thus ascertained is equal to or less than the Minimum Guaranteed Rental, the total monthly rental payable to Landlord by Tenant during each month of the ensuing Lease Year shall be the Minimum Guaranteed Rental payable under Article 1.1 (g). The total Minimum Guaranteed Rental for each Lease Year after the First Lease Year during the Lease Term shall be recomputed in accordance with the above stated formula as soon as practicable after the end of each Lease Year of this lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the adjustment annually will always be based upon a minimum increase of 1% and maximum increase of 2% annually. The foregoing annual increases shall be cumulative.

For the purposes of this Article 3.2, "Consumer Price Index" shall mean that consumer price index established by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor which is entitled "Consumer Price Indexes for All Urban Consumers, United States City Average, All items 1982-84 = 100 Unadjusted," or in the event said index is no longer provided by said Bureau of Labor Statistics, the index furnished by said Bureau which most accurately and completely replaces said above-referenced index.

5.2 Tenant agrees to pay as additional rent, as herein provided, its share of expense commercially reasonable and necessarily incurred by Landlord for the operation and maintenance of the Common Areas ("CAM Expenses"), including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, costs incurred for lighting, painting, cleaning, central trash disposal (if Landlord elects to provide), traffic control, policing, security, landscaping and repairing the Common Areas, hazard and public liability insurance and property damage insurance, all water consumed in Shopping Center which is not separately metered to Tenants (single or multiple) thereof together with an allowance of 10% of CAM Expenses, other than taxes and insurance, for Landlord’s direct overhead but excluding depreciation of Landlord’s original investment in Shopping Center. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this lease, additional rent shall not include the following: (1) capital expenditures required by Landlord’s failure to comply with any law, statute, regulation, or other governmental or quasi-governmental requirement; (2) costs incurred for capital improvements to reduce CAM Expenses above the amount actually saved as the result of such capital improvements; (3) rent for a management office and rent and expenses for a marketing office; (4) any amounts paid to any person, firm or corporation related to or otherwise affiliated with Landlord or any general partner, officer, director or shareholder of Landlord or any of the foregoing, to the extent the same exceeds arm’s length competitive prices paid in Clearwater, Florida for similar services or goods; (5) costs incurred to remove any hazardous materials or other toxic material or substances from either the Shopping Center; (6) costs relating to maintaining Landlord’s existence, either as a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, such as trustee’s fees, annual fees, partnership expenses, and legal and accounting fees (other than with respect to Shopping Center operations); (7) Landlord’s general overhead expenses above the ten percent (10%) cap described above; (8) costs and expenses resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees, contractors or agents; and (9) attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with negotiations or disputes with present or prospective tenants, other occupants of the Shopping Center, or other third parties and roof repair or replacement as set forth in Section 8.1 below. CAM Expenses shall be reduced by all cash discounts, trade discounts or quantity discounts received by Landlord or Landlord’s managing agent in the purchase of any goods, utilities or services in connection with the prudent operation of the Shopping Center. In the calculation of any CAM Expenses hereunder, it is understood that no expense shall be charged more than once. Landlord shall use its best efforts in good faith to effect an equitable proration of bills for services rendered to the Shopping Center and to any other property owned by Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord. In the event there exists a conflict as to an expense which is specified to be included in CAM Expenses and is also specified to be excluded from CAM Expenses within the above list, the exclusions listed above shall prevail and the expenses shall be deemed excluded. Landlord shall not recover more than 100% of the CAM Expenses actually incurred by Landlord. Capital expenditures required due to changes in applicable governmental or other regulations that were not required when the building was built shall be considered CAM Expenses. The share to be paid by Tenant shall be that percentage of CAM Expenses which the Gross Leased Area of the Premises bears to the Gross Leased Area of the Shopping Center. Landlord and Tenant agree that the Gross Leased Area of the Premises shall be determined based on the "as built" site plan approved by the appropriate governmental authority. Upon such approval Landlord shall submit to Tenant a copy of the approved site plan along with a calculation of the Gross Leased Area for the Premises. Landlord shall, within ninety (90) days after the commencement of each Lease Year, notify Tenant in writing of the monthly charges due from Tenant based upon the Landlord’s good faith estimate of annual CAM Expenses. Within ninety (90) days after the close of each calendar year, Landlord will furnish to Tenant a detailed statement of the expenses relating to the Common Areas for such year, such statement to be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices and to include Tenant’s proportionate share of the expenses relating to the Common Areas computed as herein provided. Any necessary adjustments (in the form of an additional payment or a refund from Landlord to Tenant) shall be made sixty (60) days after delivery of such statement.

Landlord agrees to retain the books and records substantiating the CAM Expenses incurred in each calendar year for a period of at least three (3) years from the date Landlord submits an annual statement to Tenant. Tenant or its designee shall have the right, during business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, from time to time to inspect Landlord’s books and records relating to CAM Expenses, and/or to have such books and records audited at Tenant’s expense by a certified public accountant designated by Tenant. Any audit that discloses a discrepancy of more than five percent (5%) in the annual CAM Expenses shall be at Landlord’s expense and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for such cost (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) within thirty (30) days of the result of the audit. Any discrepancy shall be promptly corrected by a payment of any shortfall to Landlord by Tenant within thirty (30) days after the applicable audit, or by a credit against the next payment(s) of rent hereunder or (at Tenant’s election) a refund from Landlord of the overpaid amount within thirty (30) days, as may be applicable. In the event Tenant does not contest a statement of CAM Expenses within three (3) years after it is rendered, such statement shall become binding and conclusive on both Landlord and Tenant, except that any such statement which may contain material misrepresentations shall not be binding and conclusive on Tenant. In the event Landlord shall fail to invoice Tenant for any CAM Expenses pursuant to this article within one (1) year, then Landlord shall be deemed to have waived its right to collect such CAM Expenses. In addition, in the event that Landlord shall fail to invoice Tenant for any CAM Expenses pursuant to this article within six (6) months following the expiration or termination of the term of this lease, then Landlord shall be deemed to have waived its right to collect such CAM Expenses.

5.3 In the event Tenant is not billed directly by the appropriate authority for water consumed on the Premises and/or for sewer rents or charges, the bill rendered by Landlord for the above shall be based upon Tenant’s prorated share of such service as reasonably determined by Landlord and shall be payable by Tenant within thirty (30) days of receipt of Landlord’s bill, and such costs or expenses incurred or payments which are made by the Landlord for water or sewer service used on the Premises shall be deemed to be CAM Expenses payable by Tenant and collectible by Landlord as such.

ARTICLE VI

This Indemnification of Landlord by Tenant includes, without limitation, costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any cleanup, remedial, removal or restoration work required by any federal, state or local governmental agency or political subdivision because of Hazardous Material present in the soil or ground water on or under the Premises. Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Material on the Premises caused or permitted by Tenant results in any contamination of the Premises, Tenant shall promptly take all actions at its sole expense as are necessary to return the Premises to the condition existing prior to the introduction of any such Hazardous Material to the Premises; provided that Landlord’s approval of such actions shall first be obtained, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as such actions would not potentially have any material adverse long-term or short-term effect on the Premises.

Landlord covenants not to bring onto the land or Shopping Center, any Hazardous Materials. Landlord’s covenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this lease.

8.5 All Tenant’s Work and all repairs, alternations, additions and improvements done by Tenant within the Premises shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, in compliance with all governmental requirements, and at such times and in such manner as will cause a minimum of interference with other construction in progress and with the transaction of business in Shopping Center. Whenever Tenant proposes to do any construction work within the Premises, Tenant shall first furnish to Landlord plans and specifications covering such work in such detail as Landlord may reasonably request.

If any such lien should, at any time, be filed, Tenant shall cause the same to be discharged of record within thirty (30) days after the date of filing the same. If Tenant shall fail to discharge such lien within such period, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same either by paying the amount claimed to be due or by procuring the discharge of such lien by a deposit in court or by posting a bond.
