LEASE AGREEMENT
 
THIS LEASE AGREEMENT (“Lease”), made and entered into this 18th day of February 2005, by and between Beemer & Associates XXXIII, LLC, a Florida Limited Liability Company, hereinafter called “Lessor”, and The Jacksonville Bank, a bank chartered in the state of Florida, hereinafter called “Lessee”, on the following terms and conditions:
 
1. Leased Premises. The Lessor, for and in consideration of the rents, covenants, agreements, and stipulations hereinafter mentioned, hereby leases to the Lessee the following described premises (the “Leased Premises”):

Space designated as a portion of the first floor, comprising approximately 7,427 Usable Square Feet, as shown on Exhibit “A” (Site Plan), Exhibit “B” (Suite Location) and Exhibit “B1” (Suite Build Out) attached hereto, located at 7880 Gate Parkway, Jacksonville, Florida in a building known as “The Offices of Gate Parkway” (the “Project”)
 
The “Shell Building Improvements” and “Building Standards for Tenant Improvements” are described in Exhibit “C” attached hereto. The costs of Tenant Improvement Upgrades are shown on Exhibit “C 1” attached hereto, if applicable.
 
The Lessor and Lessee have agreed the usable square footage indicated above together with a prorata portion of the Common Area associated with the Leased Premises (being 61.3% of 3,173 first floor Common Area) shall equal 9,372 square feet of Rentable Square Feet and such shall be deemed as accurate and the sole basis for Rent calculations in this Lease.
 
The Lessor agrees to have the Leased Premises completed and ready for possession on or before the target Commencement Date of January 15, 2006 barring strikes, insurrection, acts of God and other casualties or unforeseen events beyond the control of the Lessor. The actual Commencement Date of the Lease is defined as the date a) all common areas and utilities are Substantially Complete and operational; b) the build-out of the Leased Premises (as shown on Exhibit “B 1” if attached) is Substantially Complete and c) when either a Certificate of Occupancy has been issued for the Leased Premises or Lessee takes possession of the Leased Premises, whichever occurs first. Substantially Complete is defined as when the build-out as described in Exhibit “C” is complete to the degree that any items to be completed or corrected do not interfere with the Lessees ability to conduct business. Those items to be completed or corrected include, but are not limited to, the painting or staining of walls or doors, completion or addition of electrical outlets, lights, baseboards, vertical blinds, millwork, glass walls, wallcoverings, etc. If the actual Commencement Date of the Lease as defined herein does not occur within sixty (60) days after the target Commencement Date of the initial term of this Lease by reason of the holding over of any prior Lessee or Lessees, incomplete construction, or for any other reason, unless the same shall result from causes attributable to the Lessee, Lessee shall receive a day to day rent credit for that period of time, exceeding the 60 day period, and the term of the Lease shall be extended beyond the agreed expiration date by the number of days possession was delayed and said rent credit shall be the full extent of Lessor’s liability to Lessee for any loss or damage to Lessee on account of said delay in obtaining possession of the Leased Premises. The amount of rent credit will be based on the lower of the Base Rent less the Additional Rent identified in this Lease or the amount of rent Lessee currently pays immediately prior to the Commencement Date of this Lease. If the Leased Premises have not been tendered within ninety (90) days after the target Commencement Date, Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease if the Leased Premises is not tendered within fifteen (15) days from the date a written termination notice is delivered to the Lessor via certified mail.

2. Term of Lease. The initial term of this lease shall be for a period of 120 months, unless changed or terminated sooner under the terms of this Lease. If Lessee’s possession commences on other than the first day of the month, Lessee shall occupy the Leased Premises under the terms and provisions of this Lease and for the prorata portion of said month rent shall be paid and the term of this Lease shall commence on the first day of the month following that in which possession is given.

Lessee shall sign a statement reflecting that Lessee has accepted and taken possession of the suite(s) and the date of occupancy (Exhibit “F”) within 5 business days after Lessor’s request for such statement. Lessor may request such statement no sooner than 3 days prior to the actual Commencement Date as described in paragraph 1 hereof. Failure of Lessee to sign said statement does not waive any rights of Lessor.
 
Lessee shall have the right to renew the term of the Lease for two (2) additional periods of sixty (60) months (the “Renewal Term”) upon the same terms, conditions, and provisions applicable to the initial term of this Lease except that: (a) there shall be no obligation of Lessor to perform any improvements or renovations to the Leased Premises; (b) there shall be no obligation of Lessor to pay any tenant improvement allowance; and (c) the Rent for the first Renewal Term shall be in the amount indicated on the attached Exhibit “D” and (d) The annual rent for the second Renewal term will be increased to the “fair market rent” for the Premises as of the commencement date of the second Renewal Term based upon the rents generally in effect for comparable office space in the area in which the Premises is located. The term “fair market rent” shall mean the annual amount per rentable square foot that a willing, comparable, non-equity, non-renewal, non-expansion new tenant would pay, and a willing landlord of a comparable first class office building in the Jacksonville, Florida area would accept at arm’s length, giving appropriate consideration to annual rental rates per rental square foot, the type escalation clauses, the extent of liability under the escalation clauses, length of term, size, location, and condition of premises being leased, and other generally applicable terms and conditions of tenancy for the space in question. Tenant shall exercise its right of renewal with respect to any Renewal Term by delivering to Lessor written notice (“Tenant’s Exercise Notice”) of Tenant’s desire to renew the term of the Lease no later than 180 days prior to the scheduled expiration of the then current lease term. Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained herein, the rights of Lessee and the obligations of Lessor contained in this paragraph shall apply only if no uncured default by Lessee exists under the Lease at the time such right becomes exercisable or such obligation becomes performable.
 
3. Rent. The amount of Annual Base Rent for the term of this Lease shall be in accordance with the attached Exhibit “D”, Paragraph A. Monthly installments are due on the first day of each calendar month. If the Commencement Date of this Lease shall fall on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the rent shall be apportioned on a per diem basis between the Commencement Date and the first day of the following calendar month and such apportioned sum shall be paid on such Commencement Date. If a check tendered by Lessee is returned for insufficient funds, uncollected funds, or stopped payment, a $25.00 service charge shall be added, together with any charges the affected banking institution may charge the Lessor. In order to defray the additional expenses involved in collecting and handling delinquent payments, if the monthly rental payment is not received by Lessor on or
 
2

before the tenth day of the month for which the rent is due, or if any other payment due Lessor by Lessee is not received by Lessor on or before the tenth day of the month next following the month in which Lessee was invoiced, a late charge of five percent of such past due amount shall become immediately due and payable in addition to such amounts owed under this Lease. Lessee acknowledges that this charge is made to compensate Lessor for additional costs incurred by Lessor as a result of Lessee’s failure to pay when due and is not a payment for the extension of the rent due date. Failures of Lessor to insist upon the payment of this late charge, isolated or repeated, shall not be deemed a waiver of Lessor’s right to collect any such charge for any future delinquencies. In addition, one and one-half percent (1 ½%) per month on the unpaid installment balance will be added for payments received more than twenty (20) days after the due date thereof. In no event shall Lessee be charged more than 18% per annum of Rent, including all late and delinquent charges. All charges payable by Lessee under the terms of this Lease other than Annual Base Rent including without limitation Operating Expenses are called “Additional Rent.” Unless this Lease provides otherwise, all Additional Rent shall be paid with the next monthly installment of Rent. The term “Rent” shall mean Annual Base Rent and Additional Rent.

The initial amount of Rent shown on Exhibit “D” Paragraph A, includes a fee per Rentable Square Foot (the “Base Operating Amount” as hereafter defined on Exhibit D) as Lessee’s pro rata share of Operating Expenses (as hereinafter defined) and as shown on Exhibit “D”, Paragraph C. Should said Operating Expenses exceed the Base Operating Amount shown in Exhibit “D”, Paragraph C, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee each year, on or before March 31 (or within a reasonable time thereafter), a Statement setting forth the amount of Operating Expenses paid or incurred by Lessor, directly or indirectly, during the immediately preceding calendar year. The Statement shall delineate Lessee’s actual pro rata share of the Operating Expenses for the preceding calendar year. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Statement, Lessee shall pay to Lessor as Additional Rent, Lessee’s share of such Operating Expenses not previously paid. Lessor’s failure to furnish a statement to Lessee shall not prejudice Lessor’s right to collect the full amounts of Additional Rent payable hereunder. Should Operating Expenses cost less than the Base Operating Amount shown in Exhibit “D”, Paragraph C, Lessor shall not be required to provide a credit. Should Operating Expenses exceed the Base Operating Amount shown in Exhibit “D” Paragraph C, Lessee may at its option at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice inspect Lessor’s books and records kept with respect to Operating Expenses. Any such inspection shall be made within ninety (90) days after the later to occur of (i) the end of each year, or (ii) the receipt of statement. Lessee’s failure to inspect the records and contest the Operating Expenses within the ninety (90) day period shall be deemed a waiver of Lessee’s right to contest the Operating Expenses for the time period covered.
 
Commencing with the rental payment immediately following the receipt of the Statement of Operating Expenses, Lessee shall remit as Additional Rent one-twelfth (1/12) of Lessee’s pro rata share of the anticipated Operating Expenses for the following year which exceed those in Exhibit “D” in addition to the scheduled Rent. Should Lessee’s actual pro rata share of the Operating Expenses cost less than the payments made by Lessee, Lessee shall receive a credit against Lessee’s future pro rata share of Operating Expenses for the excess payments made by Lessee, or, if the Lease has terminated, shall promptly have such excess payments returned by Landlord.
 
3

The term Operating Expenses shall be deemed to include, but not be limited to, the following costs incurred in the normal operating, preventive and corrective maintenance and repair of the Project and any parking lot, garage, landscaping and other common areas used in conjunction therewith, whether paid to employees of Lessor or to independent suppliers or contractors engaged by Lessor: Wages and salaries, taxes imposed in respect to wages and salaries, fringe benefits, worker’s compensation and general liability insurance with respect to such salaries and wages, full costs of fees, expenses and charges such as management fees, custodial services, grounds maintenance, security guards, window cleaning, trash removal, elevator preventive and corrective maintenance, air conditioning and heating maintenance, water treatment, inspection and maintenance of pumps, pipes, and plumbing, costs of utilities including electricity and gas consumed in the operating and maintenance of the Project, water and sewer charges, pressure vessels, sprinkler systems, electrical systems, water damage, breakdown or malfunction of any machinery and systems, pest control services, building supplies, insurance premiums, real estate taxes including all real estate and other taxes on Lessee’s build-out valuation in excess of the tenant improvement amount provided by Lessor and any special assessments levied against the Project, all supplies and taxes incurred in anyone or more of the foregoing, and all other costs of a general maintenance nature. The Operating Expenses shall not include the cost of any repairs or replacements which by sound accounting practices should be capitalized. In this connection the decision of Lessor’s accountants shall be final.
 
4. Security Deposit. Lessee, concurrently with the execution of this Lease, shall be required to deposit with Lessor a security deposit as outlined in Exhibit “D”, Paragraph D, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, which sum shall be retained by Lessor for the performance by Lessee of Lessee’s covenants and obligations under this Lease and applied as elsewhere provided herein. If Lessee is not in default hereunder, any remaining balance of such deposit shall be returned by Lessor to Lessee within thirty (30) days of the termination of this lease.

5. Use and Possession. The Lessor covenants with the Lessee for quiet enjoyment and to observe and perform all the covenants and obligations of the Lessor herein.

The Lessee covenants with the Lessor to pay rent and to observe and perform all the covenants and obligations of the Lessee herein to include:
 
Not to use the Leased Premises for any purpose other than the conduct of the Lessee’s business, being a retail banking facility with drive-through banking and ATM facilities.
 
Lessor acknowledges that Lessee’s primary business is that of a retail banking facility. Consequently, the placement of a safe, safety deposit boxes, drive-through window facility and automated teller machine (jointly “Banking Improvements”) in the Leased Premises is a necessary and material component of Lessee’s use of the Leased Premises. In light of the foregoing, Lessor agrees that its consent to the placement of Banking Improvements in the Leased Premises will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Lessee shall be responsible for all costs associated with the placement, use and removal of such Banking Improvements together with any damage such Banking Improvements may cause to the Project. The installation of any Banking Improvements shall be made in accordance with the technical specifications of the Project as to minimize potential damage to the Project. At Lessor’s sole discretion, the Banking Improvements shall be removed from the Leased Premises at the termination of this Lease.

Lessee’s use of that portion of the Project associated with the drive-through window shall be at the Lessee’s sole cost and expense unless specifically set forth otherwise. The Lessee shall maintain open access to the drive-through lanes furthest for traffic to freely pass at such times any such lanes are not in active service.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Lessee shall have building identification on top portion of building as shown on elevation as approved by Lessor and Lessee. No other signs (except as to the Lessor) will be added to the exterior of the building without the mutual approval of the same by the Lessor and the Lessee, which approvals shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned. The placement of Lessor’s sign shall be in accordance with the mutual approval of the Lessor and the Lessee, which approvals shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned. Lessor hereby approves the sign rendering attached hereto as Exhibit H and agrees that Lessee may place such sign on the building of which the Leased Premises are part in the area shown on the elevation attached hereto as Exhibit H-1.
 
During the entire term of this Lease, if and as extended, Lessor shall not lease any other space in the building of which the Leased Premises are a part to another bank, credit union, or savings and loan association for use as a retail banking operation.

Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that Lessee intends to utilize only a portion of the Leased Premises at the commencement of the Lease term and desires to sublet the remainder until Lessee expands its business operations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Lessor agrees to reasonably work with Lessee to approve any sublessee proposed by Lessee provided such sublessee’s business or use is in accord with the quality of business or use of other tenants in the building.

 
Not to commit, or permit, injury or damage to the Project to include any leasehold improvements and any fixtures within the Leased Premises; any loading of the floors thereof in excess of the maximum degree to loading as determined by the Lessor acting reasonably; any nuisance therein or manner of use causing annoyance to other tenants and occupants of the Project or to the Lessor.
 
Not to do, omit, or permit to be done upon the Project anything which would cause the Lessor’s cost of insurance to be increased or the costs of insurance of another Lessee of the Project against perils as to which the Lessor or such other Lessee has insured or which shall cause any policy of insurance on the Project to be subject to cancellation.
 
To comply at its own expense with all governmental laws, regulations, and requirements pertaining to the occupation and use of the Leased Premises.
 
To observe and perform, and to cause its employees, invitees and others over whom the Lessee can reasonably be expected to exercise control to observe and perform, the Rules and Regulations of the Lessor attached hereto as Exhibit E, and additions as may hereafter be made by the Lessor, except that no change or addition may be made that is inconsistent with this Lease.
 
At the expiration of the term of the Lease, the Lessee shall deliver up the Leased Premises in good repair and condition, damages beyond the control of the Lessee, reasonable use, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
 
6. Waste, Repairs, and Alterations. The Lessee shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste upon the Leased Premises or any public or private nuisance or other act or thing which may disturb the quiet enjoyment of any other Lessee in the building.

The Lessee shall maintain the Leased Premises and every part thereof, including without limitation all electrical, plumbing and mechanical systems servicing the Leased Premises, in good repair and condition; provided, however, the Lessee shall have no obligation to so maintain the Common Area. The Lessee shall provide Lessor with proof of a current annual maintenance agreement for the HVAC servicing the Leased Premises. Lessee shall not make or suffer to be made any alterations, additions, or improvements to or of the Leased Premises or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of the Lessor. All alterations, additions, or improvements must be coordinated through the Lessor (to include additional electrical, computer, and phone lines). Any additions to or alterations of the Leased Premises, except movable furniture and trade fixtures, shall become part of the realty and belong to the Lessor; provided, however, that the Lessor may at its option require the Lessee at the Lessee’s expense to remove any such alterations, additions, or improvements upon the expiration or sooner termination of the term of this Lease and restore the Leased Premises to the condition they were in at the date of the commencement of the term of this Lease, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
 
The Lessee agrees not to suffer or permit any lien of any mechanic or materialman to be placed or filed against the Leased Premises. In case any such lien shall be filed, Lessee shall immediately satisfy and release such lien of record.

Note: Trash generated from the initial move in to the facility shall not be placed in the dumpster. Lessee must make arrangements to have this trash otherwise removed.

Lessee agrees to exercise due care and prudence in the use of utilities at all times, and to comply with all Federal, State and Local guidelines concerning same. In the event Lessor incurs electrical costs resulting from Lessee’s use of the Leased Premises during periods other than normal business hours, Lessee agrees to reimburse Lessor for that portion of the costs which are attributable to the additional use. Lessor shall submit to Lessee a statement itemizing the additional use and cost thereof, and Lessee shall pay such sums to Lessor with the next due rental payment. Lessor in furnishing the foregoing services does not contemplate occupancy involving extraordinary consumption or generation of heat affecting temperatures otherwise normally maintained by the air conditioning system.
 
The “Property” where the Leased Premises are located has one (1) master electric meter. The Leased Premises shall have a sub-meter to measure the electric consumption of the Lessee for the purpose of allocating costs billed to the master meter by JEA and the Lessee shall be billed for its own electrical consumption.

If Lessee shall require water in the Leased Premises, Lessee will procure prior written approval from Lessor and make arrangements to pay periodically for the direct expense of utilities including electric, water and sewer, and HVAC. Lessee agrees to reimburse Lessor promptly following the rendering of a bill to Lessee for any such charges incurred.
 
The Lessor will keep in good condition and reasonable state of repair those portions of the Project consisting of the entrance, lobby, stairways, corridors, elevators, landscaped areas, parking areas, and other facilities from time to time provided for use in common by the Lessees of the building. The Lessor agrees to repair, so far as reasonably feasible, any defects in the standard walls, structural elements, the roof, exterior walls, common core area ceilings, electrical and mechanical installations, plumbing and the like. The Lessor shall in no event be required to make repairs to the leasehold improvements made by the Lessee or made by the Lessor on behalf of the Lessee or to make repairs on the reasonable wear and tear within the Leased Premises.
 
The Lessee covenants with the Lessor to repair, maintain and keep at the Lessee’s own cost the improvements made by the Lessee or other property not covered by the Lessor’s obligation to repair including electric, lighting, plumbing, and mechanical (HVAC) systems serving the Leased Premises. The Lessee agrees that the Lessor shall have the right to enter the Leased Premises of the Lessee at all reasonable times and place to make repairs and/or adjustments to the Leased Premises, but not to impose any obligations beyond those specifically set forth herein.
 
Lessee will be responsible for the cost of replacement of Lessee’s light bulbs in overhead fixtures.
 
The Lessee shall be entitled to the use of the passenger elevators for the carrying of passengers to the various floors. Any uses of the elevators that require the carrying of equipment, furniture, supplies and the like shall be coordinated through the Lessor. Any damage done to the elevators, doorways, building, etc. as a result of these uses shall be repaired at the expense of the Lessee.
 
8. Non-Liability of Lessor. Lessee, as a material part of the consideration under this Lease, hereby agrees to hold the Lessor harmless from any and all damages from injury or damage to persons or property in the Leased Premises from any cause except Lessor’s negligence, arising at any time, and Lessee will hold Lessor exempt and harmless for and on account of any injuries or damage to persons or property arising from the use by the Lessee of the Leased Premises, or arising from failure of Lessee to keep the Leased Premises in good condition as herein provided. Lessor shall not be liable for any loss of property or damage to the Leased Premises by theft or burglary occurring at the Project. Lessee agrees to pay for all damages to tenants or occupants of the Project caused by Lessee’s misuse or neglect of said Leased Premises, its apparatus or appurtenances, or by the act or omission of Lessee or Lessee’s servants, employees, agents, visitors or licensees.
 
9. Damage or Destruction. If the Project or Leased Premises shall be damaged as a result of fault or neglect of Lessee or Lessee’s servants, employees, agents, visitors or licensees, Lessee shall pay for all damage, and there shall be no abatement of rent. If the Leased Premises shall be partially damaged or made inaccessible by explosion, fire, flood, windstorm, the elements or other cause without neglect of Lessee or Lessee’s servants, employees, agents, visitors or licensees, the damage shall be repaired by and at the expense of the Lessor up to the amount of the Tenant Improvements provided by Lessor, and the Base Rent, not the Additional Rent, shall be apportioned according to the portion of the Leased Premises which is usable by Lessee until the Leased Premises are so repaired. The Lessor is responsible for leasehold improvements only. All other property of the Lessee (i.e. furnishings, computer equipment etc.) will be the full responsibility of the Lessee. In making such repairs, Lessor shall not be liable for delays which may arise by reason of adjustment of insurance loss, strikes, labor difficulties or by reason of their causes beyond Lessor’s control. For the purposes of this Section 9, the phrase “partially damaged” shall mean damage to the Leased Premises which does not materially interfere with the conduct of Lessee’s business. All other damage shall be deemed substantial or total destruction of the Leased Premises.

7

If the building of which the Leased Premises are a part is substantially or totally destroyed or the Leased Premises are rendered totally untenantable by reason of fire, flood, windstorm, the elements or other cause and Lessor shall decide not to rebuild the same, then and in such event either Lessee or Lessor may within ninety (90) days after such damage give the other party notice of its intention to terminate the Lease. Lessor shall provide written notice to Lessee of its intention to rebuild the Leased Premises within fifteen (15) days of the occurrence of such damage. If Lessor elects not to rebuild the Leased Premises, then the Lease shall terminate. If Lessor elects to rebuild the Leased Premises, Lessor shall expeditiously perform such construction and the Rent shall be abated as of the date of the occurrence of the casualty through the issuance of a new certificate of occupancy for the rebuilt Leased Premises. The then current term of the Lease shall be extended for a number of days equivalent to the number of days between the date of the occurrence of the casualty and the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the rebuilt Leased Premises. Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor in case of any damage by explosion, fire, flood, windstorm, the elements or other cause. In the event the Lease is terminated in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the Rent shall be abated as of the date of the occurrence of the casualty.
 
10. Lessor’s Right to Inspect and Enter. The Lessor shall have the right, at reasonable times during the term of this lease, to enter the Leased Premises for the purpose of examining or inspecting same and making such repairs or alterations therein as the Lessor shall deem necessary.

11. Assignment and Sublease. Lessor acknowledges that Lessee intends to sublet a portion of the Leased Premises and Lessor hereby consents to such subletting; provided, however, Lessor shall have the right to approve the identity of the subtenant, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Lessee shall not mortgage or assign this Lease Agreement without the prior written consent of the Lessor, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however, Lessee my assign this Lease Agreement or sublet the Leased Premises to Lessee’s subsidiary, successor by operation of law, merger, stock or asset purchase, or to an affiliate or related company without Lessor’s prior written consent. No assignment or sublet shall conflict with the rights of any then-current tenant in the Building of which the Leased Premises are a part. Lessee shall have the right to procure a subtenant or assignee on its own without the use of a licensed Real Estate Sales Person/Broker; provided, however, should Lessor desire to list the Leased Premises for sublet, Lessee agrees to list with a licensed Real Estate Sales Person/Broker designated by the Lessor provided the terms of the listing or brokerage agreement are reasonable and in keeping with the terms of similar agreements for like properties located in the Southside Jacksonville, Florida area. If the terms of such listing or brokerage agreement are not in keeping with the terms of similar agreements, Lessee shall have the right to list the Leased Premises for sublet with a licensed Real Estate Sales Person/Broker of its own choosing.

Additional considerations: As additional security for the performance of Lessee’s obligations hereunder, Lessee hereby pledges and assigns to Lessor, all the furniture, fixtures, equipment, goods, inventory, stock and chattels of Lessee which are now or may hereafter be brought or put in the Leased Premises, and further grants to Lessor, a security interest therein under the Uniform Commercial Code. Upon the request of Lessor, Lessee hereby agrees to execute and deliver to Lessor all financing statements, amendments thereto, or other similar statements which Lessor may reasonably request.
 
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to be a waiver by Lessor of its statutory lien to rent, and the remedies, rights, and privileges of Lessor in the case of default of Lessee as set forth above shall not be exclusive and in addition thereto Lessor may also exercise and enforce all its rights at law or equity which it may otherwise have as a result of Lessee’s default hereunder.

Lessee warrants that it has had no dealings with any real estate agents or brokers in connection with the negotiations of this Lease except as listed below, and that it knows of no other real estate broker or agent who is or might be entitled to a commission in connection with this Lease, and Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless from and against any and all claims for any such commissions, except as follows: Colis McGeachy. Any fee due Colis McGeachy or any other broker engaged by the Lessor with respect to this transaction shall be paid by the Lessor and the Lessee shall have no liability therefore.

24. Signs. The building’s standard interior signage identifying Lessee’s offices and one lobby strip sign shall be provided by Lessor. No other signage visible from outside the Leased Premises shall be used by or placed upon the Leased Premises or the building by Lessee without the Lessor’s prior written approval. Lessee shall have building identification on top portion of building as shown on elevation as approved by Lessor and Lessee. Lessor hereby approves the sign rendering attached hereto as Exhibit H and agrees that Lessee may place such sign on the building of which the Leased Premises are part in the area shown on the elevation attached hereto as Exhibit H-1. Lessor further agrees that he will not place his signage on the exterior of the building until the expiration of six (6) months from the Commencement Date and then said signage will be located in the upper northwest corner and be at least ten (10%) smaller than Lessee’s sign.

25. Parking. Lessor shall provide parking space for the use of the Lessee, its officers, employees, agents, and invitees. The Lessor maintains the right to limit the Lessee’s number of parking spaces to four (4) parking spaces per one thousand usable square feet of leased office space. The actual number of parking spaces provided will be determined by rounding (based on the amount of leased space to the closest number of parking spaces). For example, if the Lessee leases 600 square feet, the Lessee will have two (2) parking spaces (600/1,000 = .60 x 4 = 2.4 or 2 parking spaces); if the Lessee leases 1,400 square feet, the Lessee will have six (6) parking spaces (1,400/1,000 = 1.4 x 4 = 5.6 or 6 parking spaces). Lessor agrees to assign six (6) spaces for the exclusive use of Lessee in the areas designated as “reserved for Jacksonville Bank customer/employee use” on the attached Site Plan. The spaces shall be appropriately designated as being for the exclusive use of the Jacksonville Bank and its customers. Such assignment may not interfere with the availability of appropriate parking spaces available to the disabled under applicable law. The Lessee shall be responsible for all costs and fees associated with the establishment and enforcement of such reserved parking spaces.

26. Notice of Termination Not Required. Notwithstanding any provision of law or any judicial decision to the contrary, no notice shall be required to terminate the term of this Lease Agreement, or extension thereof, on the date herein specified, and the term hereof shall expire on the date herein provided without notice being required from either party.

27. Radon Gas.

28. Hazardous substances” shall not cause or permit the escape, disposal or release of any biologically or local laws as: (a) a “hazardous substance” pursuant to section 101 of the storage or use of such substances or materials in any manner not sanctioned by law or by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C. §1321; (b) a “hazardous waste” pursuant to use in the ordinary course of Lessee’s business, and then only after written notice is given to Lessor of the identity of such substances or materials, and the Lessee has obtained Lessor’s written approval of same.

14

In the event Lessee remains in possession of the Leased Premises after the expiration of the term of this Lease, without having first extended this Lease by written agreement with Lessor, Lessor may in its sole discretion, interpret such action as follows:
 
a.  
A holdover 5 days or less shall be deemed to have created and be construed as a tenancy at sufferance, terminable immediately upon written notice from Lessor to Lessee. Lessee shall pay Lessor a monthly rental equal to twice the rental in effect at the time of holdover, on a per diem basis, until Lessee vacates the Premises. Lessee shall in no event remain in possession of the Leased Premises for more than 5 days after receipt of written notice from Lessor to Lessee.

b.  
A holdover in excess of 5 days shall be deemed as an extension of Lessee’s Lease on a month to month basis. The Lease shall extend with all of the same terms, covenants and conditions herein specified except, however, that Lessee shall pay Lessor a monthly rental equal to twice the rental in effect at the time of the holdover. Possession may be terminated by ten (10) days written notice from Lessor and Lessee expressly waives any right to additional notice of termination.

c.  
A holdover of 30 days or more shall be deemed as an extension of Lessee’s Lease for one year. The Lease shall extend with all of the same terms, covenants and conditions herein specified, except that Lessee shall pay Lessor a monthly rental equal to twice the rental in effect at the time of the holdover.

In addition to the foregoing, if Lessee fails to surrender the Premises to Lessor upon expiration of the term of this Lease as required by this Paragraph, Lessee shall be responsible for any costs, damages and lost income Lessor may suffer on account of Lessee’s failure to surrender possession of said Leased Premises. Lessee shall also indemnify and save Lessor harmless from and against all damages and claims made by any succeeding tenant of said Premises against Lessor due to the delay of delivering possession of said Premises by Lessor to said succeeding tenant, resulting from Lessee’s failure to surrender the Premises.
 
33. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is binding upon the Lessee, such person’s heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, each of whom have the same obligations, liabilities, rights and privileges as it would have possessed had it originally executed this Lease as the Lessee; provided that no such right or privilege shall inure to the benefit of any assignee of the Lessee, immediate or remote, unless the assignment to such assignee is made in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 of this Agreement.

34. Miscellaneous: It is agreed between the parties that neither Lessor nor Lessee nor any of their agents have made any statement, promises, or agreements verbally or in writing in conflict with the terms of this Lease. Any and all representations by either of the parties or their agents made during negotiations prior to the execution of this Lease and which representations are not contained in the provisions hereof shall not be binding upon either of the parties hereto. It is further agreed that this Lease contains the entire agreement between the parties, and no rights are to be conferred upon either party until this Lease has been executed by Lessee and Lessor. It is also agreed between the parties that all discussions and information provided to the Lessee concerning the Project which were made prior to the signing of this Lease were for illustrative purposes only, and unless specifically incorporated into this Lease, are subject to change by the Lessor.

15

If the space described herein contains less than 2,000 usable square feet, Lessor reserves the right on sixty (60) days’ notice to remove Lessee to other similarly improved space in the Project under the terms of this Lease except the Base Rent and Additional Rent will be adjusted for variation in the square footage of the new Leased Premises. Lessor agrees to make reasonable efforts to accommodate Lessee’s request regarding the location and size of said relocated premises. If Lessor and Lessee do not agree in writing within ten (10) days of Lessor’s notice upon the terms and conditions of the relocation, then this Lease shall become null and void and of no further effect, sixty (60) days from the date of Lessor’s notice. Lessor agrees to pay or credit expenses not exceeding the amount of Lessee’s base rent for two (2) months for moving Lessee to the new space agreed upon, subject to the adjustment by Lessee’s authentication of Lessee’s actual relocation expense.
 
35. Entire Agreement. This Lease contains the entire agreement relating to the Leased Premises between the parties. All legal rights and obligations between Lessor and Lessee will come into existence if, and only if, this Lease Agreement is fully executed by both parties.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

Exhibit “D”
Rent

A. The initial Annual Rent is payable in monthly installments in advance on the first day of each month during the term hereof as follows:



Rental Period
Monthly Rent
Sales Tax
Total

Year 1 - 10 and,
Year 11 - 15***
Year 16 - 20***
$17,572.50 *
$1,230.08 **
$18,802.58

*Annual Rent shall be adjusted throughout the term of this Agreement, as of the anniversary of the first day of the first full calendar month following the Commencement Date, including the Renewal Terms if exercised by Lessee, to the extent of any percentage change that occurred in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (All Items, Base 1982-84 = 100) as published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics for appropriate statistical area, (CPI) during the preceding 12 months. The Annual Rent adjustment shall be calculated by Lessor by multiplying the Annual Rent then in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which is the CPI as last published prior to the applicable adjustment date, and the denominator of which is the CPI in effect as of the calendar month 12 full months prior to the applicable adjustment date. In no event shall Annual Rent resulting from an annual CPI adjustment be decreased nor will it increase by more than 5 percent. Lessor shall promptly notify Lessee of each Annual Rent adjustment.

**Note: The amount of sales tax listed above is based on the current rate for the State of Florida, Duval County associated with the first monthly installment. This amount will be adjusted in conjunction with adjustments to the monthly Rent and if the rate is changed by governmental authority, for any reason.
 
***Note: Rent for the years 11 - 15 and years 16 - 20 will only apply if Lessee exercises its renewal option(s) in accordance with the Lease terms. Rent for the years 11-20 shall be adjusted in the same manner as rent for the years 1-10; provided, however, there shall be a one time adjustment in Annual Rent for years 16-20 as provided in Paragraph 2 of the Lease.
 
Any other excise tax on Rent hereafter imposed by statute, ordinance, or enactment of the Federal Government, State of Florida, or any local governmental unit shall be paid by the Lessee, monthly or annually as required, as Additional Rent.
 
B. The building’s first floor Rentable Square Footage is 15,300 square feet, of which the Leased Premises shall be deemed to include 9,372 Rentable Square Feet. Lessee’s “proportionate share” of Operating Expenses is 20.42 Percent. The percentage may change in the future based on a change in the building’s square footage but Lessee’s share will always remain proportionate. The percentage of certain operating expenses may change based on the operating expense items used by different tenants in the building as determined by Lessor in its reasonable discretion. For example: If Lessee occupies 5,000 square feet of a 100,000 square foot building that would make Lessee’s percentage 5% of the total building. However, if another tenant that occupies 10,000 square feet does not have custodial service then the portion of the operating expense Lessee would owe for custodial services would be calculated over 90,000 square feet making Lessee’s percentage 5.55% of the custodial portion of the operating expenses.
 
26

C. Lessee shall pay as Additional Rent its pro rata share of any Operating Expenses (as defined in Article 3 (Rent) of the Lease) in excess of an amount above $ 3.50 per square foot per annum (the “Base Operating Amount”); provided, however, if the Lessee’s actual pro-rata share of the total amount of Operating Expenses incurred or paid by the Landlord for the first full year of the Lease term exceeds $ 3.50 per square foot per annum, the Base Operating Amount will be adjusted to reflect Lessee’s actual pro-rata share of the Operating expenses and Lessee’s Additional Rent obligations shall be adjusted accordingly based upon the revised Base Operating Amount. The revised Base Operating Amount shall be communicated to Lessee as soon as practicable after the end of the 2006 calendar year and shall be final for all purposes, provided, however, Lessee shall have the right to dispute or audit such figures as provided in Paragraph 3 of the Lease.
