In the event that any item in said Exhibit “B” is not accompanied by a corresponding specification and there is a resulting dispute or question as to the intent of the parties as to such specification, or in the event that there is an unintentional omission from such plans as to an item that would clearly be required in order to complete the building and improvements in accordance with Exhibit “B” hereto and would clearly not be Tenant’s responsibility under Exhibit “C” hereto and there is a resulting dispute or question as to the intent of the parties as to such item, then in either such event the parties agree that such missing specification or item shall be equal in design and construction to the Phase I Building of Ultimate Software Group located at 2000 Ultimate Way, Weston, FL (the “Phase I Ultimate Building”).

The payment of said Rent shall begin on the Commencement Date. In the event the Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the first day of a month, Tenant shall pay rent for the fractional month on a per diem basis (calculated on the basis of a thirty [30] day month) until the first day of the month following such Commencement Date, and thereafter the Rent shall be paid in equal monthly installments on the first day of each and every month in advance. Said Rent shall be paid to the Landlord at 3325 South University Drive, Suite 210, Davie, FL 33328-2020, or at such other place as may be designated in writing from time to time by Landlord.

     A. Tenant shall pay to Landlord during the first year of this Lease, commencing on the Commencement Date (the “Initial Lease Year”), and as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.02 (B) of this Lease, without any prior notice or demand therefor, and without any deduction or setoff, except for the Warranty Obligations and/or the guarantor obligations pursuant to section 12.18 hereof and the Guaranty To Lease attached hereto, a total fixed minimum annual rental of $453,195.24 per annum, payable in equal monthly installments of $37,766.27, plus sales tax and use tax as required by law. The parties acknowledge that the amount of fixed minimum annual rental has been arrived at by calculating $21.19 per square foot per annum, based on an assumed square footage of 21,392 feet of Demised Premises (as measured including the exterior faces of exterior walls). Rent shall be payable in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month, as provided in Section 3.01 hereof.
     B. Commencing with the second year of this Lease, for a term of twelve (12) months, and for each successive year of this Lease, fixed minimum annual rent shall be adjusted in accordance with CPI as more fully set forth in this Article III, Section 3.03 below with a minimum increase of three percent (3%) per annum and a maximum increase of six percent (6%) per annum, whereupon the adjusted Rent shall be payable in equal monthly installments, plus applicable sales tax and use tax as required by law. Rent shall be payable in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month, as provided in Section 3.01 hereof.
     C. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED:
     D. Late fee: Any payment not received by Landlord by the tenth (10th) day of the month shall be considered in arrears and in default of the terms hereof and shall be subject to a late charge in the amount of one (1%) percent of the monthly rent, which Tenant agrees to pay along with the late rent in the form of a cashier’s check, certified check or money order.
     E. Returned Checks: In the event that Tenant’s check is returned for any reason, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord $50.00 as a handling charge in addition any applicable late charge.

     Section 3.03 — Cost of Living Increase in Fixed Minimum Annual Rent: “CPI” is hereby defined as the Consumer Price Index For All Urban Consumers and Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (U.S. City Average: All Items) issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor, using the year 1982-84 as a base of 100. At the commencement of each year of this Lease, and each year thereafter, the fixed minimum annual rent shall be adjusted by multiplying said rent by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Index Number for the month preceding the commencement of the successive year of this Lease, and the denominator of which shall be the Index Number for the month of the commencement of the Term of this Lease, subject to the minimum and maximum increases provided in section 3.02(B) above. In the event that the Index

5


 

herein referred to ceases to be published during the term of this Lease, or if a substantial change is made in the method of establishing such Index, then the determination of the adjustment in the fixed minimum annual rent shall be made with the use of such conversion factor, formula or table as may be published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, or if none is available, the parties shall accept comparable statistics on the cost of living in the United States, as shall then be computed and published by an agency of the United States, or if none, by a respected financial periodical selected by Landlord. Further, if the publication of the Index is delayed or receipt of same is untimely, then the Rent shall be adjusted as soon as the Index is received, and the Tenant agrees to pay any adjustments in rent for those months which may not have been calculable due to the unavailability of the Index.
ARTICLE IV
IMPROVEMENTS
     Section 4.01 — Improvements by Landlord: (a) Landlord shall be responsible for any and all improvements to the Demised Premises as set forth on Exhibit “B” attached hereto and made a part hereof (“Landlord Improvements”), and shall not be responsible for any other improvements to the Demised Premises.

In the event that any changes are required by the applicable governmental authorities in order for Landlord to obtain a permit for construction of Landlord’s Improvements or in order to otherwise comply with the requirements of such governmental authority then the parties will jointly determine and agree to such changes which shall, to the extent possible, be resolved in a manner so that the building design and construction is equal to the Phase I Ultimate Building.
     (b) Tenant shall be responsible for reimbursing Landlord for one hundred percent of the costs of Landlord’s Improvements in the amount of Six Hundred And Forty Eight Thousand Six Hundred And Fifty Five Dollars and No Cents ($648,655.00) (the “Tenant Reimbursement”). Tenant shall deliver such Tenant Reimbursement as follows: commencing thirty (30) days following issuance of the building permit for Landlord’s Improvements, Tenant shall deliver one twelfth (l/12th) of the Tenant Reimbursement (Fifty Four Thousand And Fifty Four Dollars and Fifty Eight Cents ($54,054.58)) to Landlord per month for twelve consecutive months until said Tenant Reimbursement is paid in full. Landlord shall be responsible for any and all additional costs of Landlord’s Improvements except for costs arising from Tenant requested modifications, alterations or additions to Landlord’s Improvements. In the event that Tenant desires any such modifications, alterations or additions, then (a) Tenant shall notify Landlord, (b) Landlord shall conduct an analysis of Tenant’s request, at Landlord’s discretion using third parties, so as to complete Exhibit “D” hereto for such request, (c) Landlord shall deliver the completed Exhibit “D” to Tenant, (d) should Landlord and Tenant both agree in writing as to such Exhibit “D” analysis, then Tenant shall be fully responsible for all costs and expenses described on said Exhibit “D”, including but not limited to (i) overhead and profit as described therein, and (ii) reimbursement for time delays as described therein. Should Tenant believe that the Exhibit “D” analysis is unreasonable, then Tenant may consult with Synalovski Architects for its opinion of the Exhibit “D” analysis, and (i) if Synalovski Architects finds that the Exhibit “D” analysis is reasonable then such analysis shall remain unchanged, or (ii) if Synalovski Architects finds that the Exhibit “D” analysis is unreasonable then Synalovski Architects shall provide specific proposed modifications thereto which may be accepted by Landlord and Tenant, in their sole discretions, or (iii) if Synalovski Architects finds that the Exhibit “D” analysis is unreasonable and provides specific proposed modifications thereto which are not acceptable to either Landlord or Tenant, in their sole discretion, then a third party architect shall be chosen by Synalovski Architects to provide specific proposed modifications as to Exhibit “D” which shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant. In the event that either Landlord or Tenant does not approve, in writing at their sole discretions, of the proposed Tenant modifications based on the final Exhibit “D” analysis, then such proposed modifications shall not be performed by Landlord. All Exhibit “D” costs and

6


 

expenses for Tenant’s requested modifications, alterations or additions shall be paid by Tenant within ten (10) days after completion of such modifications, alterations or additions. Tenant shall have the right to audit the records of Landlord, its agents, contractors, subcontractors (to the extent Landlord has such rights), etc. in order to verify any amounts due from Tenant to Landlord.

If any liens are placed against the Demised Premises, Tenant shall be responsible for clearing all such liens immediately, and, to the extent Landlord incurs any expenses (including attorney fees), Tenant shall be responsible for reimbursement. In the event that Tenant desires to perform any improvements to the Premises prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Premises, then Tenant must obtain the consent of Landlord, at Landlord’s sole discretion, of the contractor to be hired by Tenant to perform such improvements. Tenant hereby acknowledges that under these circumstances, it would be unusual to have Tenant’s contractor or subcontractor perform Tenant’s improvements prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy and such improvements may cause liability or delays to Landlord for which Tenant hereby specifically agrees to be financially responsible. In addtion, Landlord will have no obligation whatsoever to approve any such contractor or subcontractor. Landlord hereby approves Silver Builders, Inc. as an acceptable contractor for Tenant’s improvements. In addition, Landlord acknowledges in advance that the following contractors and subcontractors will be permitted to perform the following work on the Tenant Improvements prior to the Certificate of Occupancy and Landlord shall cooperate with them, subject to the other provisions of this Section 4.02:

Any consent by Landlord once shall not constitute a waiver of the requirement for its consent to any future subletting or assignment of this Lease.

     In the event Tenant shall desire to sublet the Demised Premises or the Property, in whole or in part, or assign Tenant’s interest under this Lease, in whole or in part, Tenant shall give Landlord not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice. Such notice shall set forth all pertinent business terms of the proposed assignment or subletting as well as the name and address of the proposed assignee or sublessee, information as to financial condition of such assignee or sublessee and proposed use which assignee or sublessee desires to make of the Demised Premises or the Property.

     Section 9.05 — Eminent Domain: In the event the Demised Premises, the Property or any part thereof, shall be taken or condemned for public purposes by any competent authority, the entire compensation awarded therefor shall belong to the Landlord, without any deduction therefrom for any present or future estate of Tenant; provided, however, that in the event more than twenty (20%) percent of the Demised Premises shall be so taken or condemned, then either the Landlord or Tenant shall have the option of terminating the term of this Lease upon giving to the other written notice of such election within thirty (30) days after possession of the part condemned has been taken by proper authorities, whereupon the term of this Lease shall be terminated, as of the date on which possession is so taken. If neither Landlord or Tenant so elects to terminate the term of this Lease, the Landlord at its own expense, shall repair and restore the premises not affected by the taking and thereafter, if a part of Demised Premises itself has been taken or condemned, the Rent to be paid by the Tenant shall be equitably reduced.
     Section 9.06 — Nondisturbance and Attornment: In the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of, or in the event of the conveyance by deed in lieu of foreclosure of, or in the event of the execution of the power of sale under any superior mortgage, or in the event of transfer or conveyance of the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, to any party for any reason whatsoever, Tenant hereby attorns to, and covenants and agrees to execute an instrument in writing reasonably satisfactory to the new owner whereby Tenant attorns to such successor in interest and recognizes such successor as the landlord under the Lease. Upon payment by the Tenant of the rent herein provided, and upon the observance by Tenant of each and every one of the material terms, provisions, covenants, agreements, undertakings, and conditions on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Demised Premises and the Property for the term of this Lease without hindrance or interruption by Landlord or any other person or persons lawfully or equitably claiming by, through or under the Landlord, subject, nevertheless, to each and every one of the terms, provisions, covenants, agreements, undertakings and conditions of this Lease.

ARTICLE X
DEFAULT
     Section 10.01 — Default by Tenant: All of the rights and remedies of Landlord herein enumerated shall be cumulative, and none shall exclude any other right or remedy allowed by law. It is agreed that in the event:
          (i) That the Tenant shall fail, neglect or refuse to pay any installment of Rent at the time, and in the amount as herein provided, or to pay any other monies agreed by it to be paid promptly when and as the same shall become due and payable under the terms hereof, provided however that Landlord must give Tenant fifteen (15) days written notice and opportunity to cure such alleged default;
          (ii) That any voluntary or involuntary petition or similar pleading, under any section or sections of any bankruptcy act, shall be filed by or against Tenant, or any voluntary or involuntary proceeding in any court or tribunal shall be instituted to declare Tenant insolvent or unable to pay Tenant’s debts, and the same shall not be dismissed or discharged within thirty (30) days after notice thereof in writing;
          (iii) That the Tenant shall fail, neglect or refuse to keep and perform any of the other covenants, conditions, stipulations or agreements herein contained and to be kept and performed by it, and in the event any such default shall continue, for a period of more than thirty (30) days after notice thereof in writing given to the Tenant, by the Landlord; provided, however, that if the cause for giving such notice involves the making of repairs, or other matters reasonably requiring a longer period of time than the period of such notice, the Tenant shall be deemed to have complied with such notice so long as it has commenced to comply with said notice within the period set forth in the notice, and is diligently prosecuting compliance with said notice, or has taken proper steps or proceedings, under the circumstances, to prevent the seizure, destruction, alteration or other interference with said Demised Premises by reason of non-compliance with the requirements of any law or any ordinance or with the regulations, rules or directions of any government authority, as the case may be;
          (iv) That the Tenant makes any assignment of its property for the benefit of creditors, or should the Demised Premises be taken under a levy of execution or attachment, in an action against the Tenant, and such levy, attachment or assignment is not dismissed and discharged within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to Tenant by Landlord;
then in any event as described in Sections 10.01 (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), the Tenant does hereby authorize and fully empower said Landlord or Landlord’s agent to cancel or annul this Lease at once and to re-enter and take possession of said Demised Premises immediately, and remove all persons and their property therefrom, and to use such force and assistance in effecting and perfecting such removal as said Landlord may deem necessary and advisable to recover at once full and exclusive possession of all of said Demised Premises, whether in possession of said Tenant or of their persons or otherwise. At Landlord’s option, Landlord may declare all installments of Rent for the remainder of the lease term to be immediately due and payable whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable.
     The Landlord may, however, at its option, at any time after a default or violation of a condition or covenant, re-enter and take possession of said Premises without such re-entering working a forfeiture of the rents to be paid and the covenants, agreements and conditions to be kept and performed by said Tenant for the full term of this Lease. In such event, the Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to divide or subdivide the Premises in any manner the Landlord may determine and to lease or let the same or portions thereof for such periods of time and at such rentals and for such use and upon such covenants and conditions as Landlord may elect, applying the net rentals from such letting first to the payment of Landlord’s expenses incurred in dispossessing the Tenant and the costs and expenses of making such improvements in the Premises as may be necessary in order to enable the Landlord to relet the same, and to the payment of any brokerage commissions or other necessary expenses of the Landlord in connection with such reletting. The balance, if any, shall be applied by the Landlord from time to time, but in any event not less than once

13


 

each month, on account of the payments due or payable by the Tenant hereunder, with the right reserved to Landlord to bring such actions or proceedings for the recovery of any deficits remaining unpaid as it may deem advisable from time to time, without being obligated to await the end of the term hereof for a final determination of the Tenant’s account and the commencement or maintenance of one (1) or more actions shall not bar the Landlord from bringing other or subsequent actions for further accruals pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph. Any balance remaining, however, after full payment and liquidation of Landlord’s account, as aforesaid, shall be paid to the Tenant from time to time with the right reserved to the Landlord at any time to give notice in writing to the Tenant of Landlord’s election to cancel and terminate this Lease and all Tenant’s obligations hereunder and upon the giving of such notice and the simultaneous payment by Landlord to Tenant of any credit balance in Tenant’s favor that may at the time be owing to Tenant shall constitute a final and effective cancellation and termination of this Lease and the obligations thereunder on the part of either party to the other.
     In addition to the foregoing, collection costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees shall be paid by Tenant if delinquencies are referred for collection.
     Section 10.02 — Lien of Landlord for Rent, Taxes and Other Sums: Landlord shall have, and Tenant hereby grants, a security interest in any furnishings, equipment, fixtures, inventory, accounts receivable, or other personal property of any kind belonging to Tenant, or the equity of Tenant therein, in the Demised Premises. The security interest is granted for the purpose of securing the payment of rent, other charges, assessments, penalties and damages herein covenanted to be paid by Tenant and for the purpose of securing the performance of all other obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Upon Tenant’s default or breach of any covenants of this Lease, Landlord shall have all remedies available under the law of the State of Florida including, but not limited to, the right to take possession of the above mentioned property and dispose of it by public or private sale in a commercially reasonable manner. Tenant shall, upon demand, reimburse Landlord for all filing and recording fees and taxes incurred in connection with filing and recording of Financing Statements if the same be necessary to perfect Landlord’s security interest. Landlord’s statutory lien for rent is not hereby waived, the express contractual lien herein granted being in addition and supplementary thereto.
     Section 10.03 No Liens Created By Tenant: The Tenant covenants and agrees that it has no power to incur any indebtedness giving a right to a lien of any kind or character upon the rights, title and interest of the Landlord in and to the property covered by this Lease, and that no person shall ever be entitled to any lien directly or indirectly derived through or under the Tenant, or its agents or servants, or on account of any act or remission of said Tenant, which lien shall be superior to the title of the Landlord to the Demised Premises. All persons contracting with said Tenant, or furnishing materials or labor to said Tenant, or to its agents or servants, as well as all persons whomsoever, shall be bound by this provision of this Lease. Should any such lien be filed, the Tenant shall discharge the same within thirty (30) days thereafter, by paying the same or by filing a bond, or otherwise, as permitted by law. The Tenant shall not be deemed to be the agent of the Landlord, so as to confer upon a laborer bestowing labor or confer upon a materialman furnishing materials upon the leased premises the right to a mechanic’s lien thereon.
     Section 10.04 — Jury Trials\Counter Claims: The parties hereto shall, and they hereby do, irrevocably waive trial by jury in any and every action or proceeding brought by either of the parties hereto against the other on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Demised Premises or the Property, and any claim for injury or damage. In the event Landlord commences any proceeding, whether or not for nonpayment of rent, any additional rent, or otherwise, Tenant shall not interpose, and hereby irrevocably waives the right to, any non-compulsory counterclaim of whatever nature or description in any such proceeding(s). The provision in the immediately foregoing sentence shall not, however, be construed as a waiver of the Tenant’s right to assert claims, if any, in any separate action or actions brought by Tenant.
     Section 10.05 — Redemption: Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of

14


 

redemption granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed for any cause or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Demised Premises, by reason of a default by Tenant of any of the terms, covenants or condition of this Lease.
     Section 10.06 — Court Registry: In any action for eviction instituted by Landlord hereunder, Tenant may not assert any defense to such eviction until such time as Tenant has paid into the Registry of the Court all accrued and unpaid rents. Tenant must then continue throughout the litigation to pay all rents as they became due into the Registry of the Court.
