SECTION I.

DEMISE AND DESCRIPTION OF LEASED PROPERTY

Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord that

certain premises situated at:

1101 & 1103 12th Avenue East, Palmetto, FL 34221

and all furniture, fixtures, equipment and improvements located thereon (the

"Premises"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord represents and warrants

that Landlord shall bring the Premises into compliance with all laws, rules,

statutes and codes for the intended use of the Premises. Other than the Landlord

requirement to bring the Premises into compliance, it is specifically agreed and

understood that the Premises are being leased to Tenant in its "AS-IS" physical

condition and Landlord shall not be obligated or responsible to correct, repair

or improve any physical condition of the Premises or the Building. Tenant shall

not use or permit the Premises or any part thereof to be used for any purpose or

purposes other than what is currently allowable under the current applicable

zoning for the Premises.

SECTION II.

TERM

----

The term of this Lease shall be for five years, commencing on December

6, 2005 (the "Commencement Date") and ending on December 5, 2010. This Lease

shall automatically renew for three (3) additional terms of five (5) years each

("Renewal Periods"); however, Landlord may terminate this Lease prior to the

commencement of any of the Renewal Periods.

SECTION III.

MONTHLY RENT

------------

Tenant shall pay to the Landlord as rent the following sums ("Monthly

Rent") plus applicable sales tax:

In addition to Monthly Rent, each month, Tenant shall also pay to

Landlord additional rent equal to one-twelfth of the estimated real property

taxes for the Premises. Landlord shall notify Tenant prior to each Lease year of

the estimated real property taxes for the following Lease Year. Once the actual

property taxes for the Premises can be ascertained, an adjustment shall be made

accordingly (either Landlord will give Tenant a credit if the amount collected

is higher than actual property taxes or Tenant shall pay Landlord the difference

as additional rent if the amount actually collected is lower than actual

property taxes). The monthly installments (including additional rent) shall be

payable in advance on the first day of each month, but the Monthly Rent shall

not be late until after the tenth day of each month. In the event any rental

payment, of any type, due hereunder, shall not be paid by the tenth day of each

month, in addition to any other rights Landlord shall have, a Late Payment

Penalty of five percent (5%) of the amount of such payment not timely made shall

be due to Landlord. In addition to any late payment penalty, interest shall

accrue on any such payments from the date of default, at a rate equal to the

lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum, or the maximum interest rate allow

by law. All rent payable to the Landlord under any provision of this Lease shall

be paid to the Landlord or as the Landlord may otherwise designate, in lawful

money of the United States, at the address of the Landlord or such other place

as the Landlord in writing may designate, without any set-off or deduction

whatsoever, and without prior demand therefore.

SECTION IV.

SECURITY DEPOSIT

----------------

Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the amount of $50,000.00 ("Security

Deposit"), upon Tenant's execution and submission of this Lease. The Security

Deposit shall be in the form of cash payable to the Landlord. The Security

Deposit shall serve as security for the prompt, full and faithful performance by

Tenant of the terms and provisions of this Lease. In the event that Tenant is in

Default hereunder and fails to cure within any applicable time pertained under

this Lease, or in the event that Tenant owes any amounts to Landlord upon the

expiration of this Lease, Landlord may use or apply the whole or any part of the

Security Deposit for the payment of Tenant's obligations hereunder. Landlord

shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from Landlord's

general funds or pay interest on the Security Deposit. Any remaining portion of

the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant within ten (10) days after

Tenant has vacated the Premises.

written consent of Landlord, which consent may be granted or withheld in

Landlord's sole discretion. Should Landlord consent to any proposed Alterations

by Tenant, such consent will be conditioned upon Tenant's agreement to comply

with all requirements established by Landlord. All Alterations made hereunder

will become Landlord's property when incorporated into or affixed to the

Building. However, at Landlord's option Landlord may, at the expiration of the

Lease Term, require Tenant, at Tenant's expense, to remove Alterations made by

or on behalf of Tenant and to restore the Premises to its original condition.

SECTION XII.

DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS

-------------------------------------

Tenant shall complete any work of restoration, repair, replacement or

rebuilding with respect to the Premises required to be performed as a result of

condemnation by any applicable governmental authority or fire or other casualty

during the Term of the Lease (the "Restoration Work"), which becomes necessary

at any time during the Term. Whenever Tenant shall be required under the Lease

to carry out any Restoration Work, Landlord shall be entitled to receive any

applicable Insurance proceeds and condemnation award in trust. Landlord may

apply all or any portion of such proceeds to cure a default by Tenant, and shall

otherwise disburse, in Landlord's reasonable discretion, such proceeds or awards

to Tenant for reimbursement for the costs and expenses of such Restoration Work.

With respect to any Restoration Work, Tenant shall (a) obtain Landlord's prior

written approval of Tenant's construction plans, budget, and schedule; (b)

provide Landlord with true and complete certified copies of all permits and

authorizations from applicable government authority necessary to complete such

Restoration Work; (c) provide Landlord with evidence, satisfactory to Landlord,

that Tenant has sufficient insurance coverages and funds earmarked to complete

such Restoration Work; and (d) provide Landlord with evidence, satisfactory to

Landlord, of payment and performance bonds. Tenant shall carry out any

Restoration Work in a good and workmanlike manner, lien free, in accordance with

the plans approved by Landlord and in compliance with all applicable building,

land use and zoning laws, codes and ordinances and all of the terms and

conditions of the Lease. Accordingly, Tenant shall (a) diligently obtain all

permits and authorizations from applicable governmental authority necessary for

the Restoration Work at the earliest possible date; (b) commence the Restoration

Work at the earliest possible date; and (c) thereafter in a diligent and

continuous manner, and in accordance with the construction schedule which has

been approved by Landlord, prosecute the Restoration Work to completion at the

earliest possible date. If Tenant shall fail or neglect at any time to supply

sufficient workmen or sufficient materials of proper quality, or fail in any

other respect to prosecute any Restoration Work in a diligent and continuous

manner, then Landlord may give notice to Tenant of such failure or neglect. If

such failure or neglect continues for 10 days after such notice, then Landlord,

in addition to all other rights which Landlord may have, shall have the right,

but not the obligation, to do any or all of the following as Landlord deems

necessary to complete such Restoration Work: (a) declare a default by Tenant

under the Lease; (b) enter upon the Premises; (c) provide, or cause to be

provided, labor and/or materials upon the Premises; (d) perform, or cause to be

performed, any contract; and (e) do or cause to be done, such other acts and

things as Landlord may deem advisable. Landlord shall be entitled to

reimbursement, out of any Insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, and any other

4

<PAGE>

monies held by Landlord for application to the cost of Restoration Work, for all

costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in completing any Restoration Work

pursuant to this Section. All such costs and expenses for which Landlord is not

so reimbursed shall be borne by Tenant, in addition to any or all damages to

which Landlord shall be entitled under the Lease. Upon Landlord's demand, which

may be made from time to time as such costs and expenses are incurred, Tenant

shall pay for such costs and expenses as additional Rent.

SECTION XIII.

UTILITIES

---------

Tenant shall, at Tenant's own cost and expense, arrange for and obtain

all such utility services as are necessary for Tenant's use of the Premises,

including those for drainage, water, sewer, electricity, power, gas, heating,

lighting, telephones, cable television, and other electronic communications.

Tenant shall pay when due all fees and charges in connection with the providing

of such services without any offset against the Rent. Tenant shall, at Tenant's

own cost and expense, arrange for and be responsible for the maintaining the

landscaping located adjacent to the Premises.

SECTION XIV.

LIENS

-----

Tenant shall keep all of the Premises and every part thereof free and

clear of any and all mechanics' liens and other liens in connection with work or

labor done, services performed, or materials or appliances used or furnished for

or in connection with any operations of the leased Premises. Tenant shall at all

times promptly and fully pay and discharge all claims on which any such lien may

be based, and Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all such liens and claims

of liens and suits or other proceedings pertaining thereto.

Tenant shall have the right to contest the correctness of the validity

of any such lien if, upon demand by Landlord, Tenant procures a good and

sufficient surety bond naming Landlord as the beneficiary against any such lien.

In addition, the Tenant shall pay any cost, liability, or damage resulting from

such contest. The bond shall provide for the payment of any sum that the

claimant may recover on the claim together with costs of suit, if it recovers in

the action.

deduction for depreciation. Such full replacement value shall

be determined, at Tenant's expense, at annual intervals, by

one or more of the insurers, or by an architect, contractor,

appraiser, or appraisal company selected by Tenant and

acceptable to Landlord in Landlord's sole discretion. Subject

to the requirements of Landlord's mortgagee (if any), all
