During any year in which the Lessee only occupies the Premises for a portion of the year, Landlord agrees to prorate the following Operation and Maintenance Costs passed onto the Lessee according to that percentage of time that the Lessee occupied the premises in that year: (1) A pro rata portion of all wages, salaries and fees of all employees and agents engaged in the operation, repair, replacement, maintenance and security of the Building for such services that are specific to the Building, including taxes, insurance and all other employee benefits relating thereto 20.03%/(5175/25840 SQFT); (2) All common utilities including, but not limited to, water and sewer, electric and irrigation sprinkler use; (3) All supplies and materials used in the management, leasing, operation, repair, replacement, maintenance and security of the Building; (4) All maintenance and service agreements on equipment including, without limitation, HVAC, alarm service and window cleaning for the Building; (5) All fire (with all risk coverage) and other casualty and public liability insurance for the Building and Landlord's personal property and fixtures used in connection therewith; (6) All "real estate taxes" which, for the purposes of this Article, shall mean all real property taxes and personal property taxes, charges and assessments which are levied, assessed upon or imposed by any governmental authority during any calendar year of the term hereof with respect to the Building and the land on which the Building is located and any improvements, including, but not limited to the GSD Assessment, fixtures and equipment and all other property of Landlord, real or personal, located in the Building and used in connection with the operation of the Building and any tax which shall be levied or assessed in addition to or in lieu of such real or personal property taxes and any license fees, tax measured by or imposed upon rents, or other tax or charge upon Landlord's business of leasing the Building. In the event that the tax statement from the taxing authority does not allocate assessments with respect to the Building and assessments relating to any other improvements located upon the land upon which the Building is situated, Landlord shall make a reasonable determination of the proper allocation of such assessment based, to the extent possible, upon records of the assessor. Landlord shall have the right to institute a tax appeal on behalf of all lessees of the Building, the cost of said appeal shall be borne pro-rata by Lessee; (7) All repairs, replacements and general maintenance of the Building, including, but not limited to, HVAC equipment, roof maintenance and the upkeep of the lawn, grounds, shrubbery and landscaping, along with paving maintenance; (8) All service or maintenance contracts with independent contractors for the operation, repair, replacement, maintenance or security of the Building; (9) All other costs and expenses necessarily and reasonably incurred by Landlord in the proper operation and maintenance of the Building, provided, however, that the following shall be excluded from the term "Operation and Maintenance Costs": (i) expenses for any capital improvements made to Land or Building, except those capital expenses for improvements which result in savings of labor or other costs or which may be required by governmental authority shall be included and the cost of such improvements amortized over the useful life of the improvements; (ii) expenses for repairs or other work occasioned by fire, wind storm or other insured casualty; (iii) expenses incurred in leasing or procuring new lessees (e.g. salaries of management personnel for procuring new lessees, for lease commissions, advertising expenses and expenses of renovating space for new lessees); (iv) legal expenses in enforcing the term of any lease; (v) interest or amortization payments on any mortgage or mortgages; and (vi) depreciation. (b) During each calendar year or portion thereof included in the original term of this Lease and any renewal thereof, Lessee shall pay Landlord as additional rent, Lessee's percentage of all Operation and Maintenance Costs. "Percentages" shall be defined as the ratio that the gross square feet of the Premises bears to the gross square feet of the rentable area in the Building, which "percentage" is agreed to be 20.03%/(5175/25840 SQFT). It is understood that Landlord shall cause such services described in Paragraph 8(a) above to be performed for the Building and that Landlord shall receive bills from such employees and contractors for work specifically performed on the Building, which bills shall represent a proper allocation of any work done for the Building as compared with other work that such employees or contractors may perform for any properties owned by Landlord in the areas adjacent to and surrounding the Building. Lessee shall have the right to review all such bills and calculations of Landlord as to any allocations thereof. Nothing herein shall be construed to require Lessee to pay expenses incurred for repair and/or replacement of items warranted by Landlord in this Lease. Landlord agrees to cap increases in controllable expenses (defined as those expenses other than real estate taxes, insurance and metered services) at 3% per year on a cumulative basis. As an example, if there are no increases in the first two years and a 4% increase in the third year, Lessee pays that amount of increase.

If any time or times it appears to Landlord that the amounts payable under Subparagraph 8(b) above for the current calendar year will vary from its estimate by more than five percent (5%), Landlord shall, by notice to Lessee, revise its estimate for such year, and subsequent payments by Lessee for such year will be based upon such revised estimate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the period July 1, 2003 to December 31, 2003, the estimated operations and maintenance costs per month shall not exceed $1,056.56/month, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Lessee and Landlord. (d) Within ninety (90) days after the close of each calendar year, or as soon after such ninety (90) day period as practicable, Landlord shall deliver to Lessee a statement of the adjustments to be made pursuant to Subparagraph 8(b) above. If, on the basis of such statement, Lessee owes an amount that is less than the estimated payments for such calendar years previously made by Lessee, Landlord shall refund such excess to Lessee within thirty (30) days. If, on the basis of such statement, Lessee owes an amount that is more than the estimated payments for such calendar year previously made by Lessee, Lessee shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days after delivery of statement. In no event, however, shall the monthly rent paid by Lessee be less than the Minimum Rent set forth in Paragraph 5 hereof. Lessee shall have the right to review all documentation substantiating any increases including, but not limited to, real estate tax bills, insurance bills and common utility charges. (e) The additional rent due under the terms and conditions of this Paragraph shall be payable by Lessee without any setoff or deduction and shall be pro-rated as aforesaid during the first and last calendar years of the Lease term or any renewal thereof. (f) In the event Landlord constructs additional improvements at the Building which increases the assessment or gross square footage during the term of this Lease, Lessee's percentage of Operation and Maintenance Costs shall be equitably adjusted. 9. LATE PAYMENT: In the event that the Minimum Rent and Operation and Maintenance Costs shall not be paid when due or any payments required to be paid by Lessee under the provisions hereof are not paid within fifteen (15) days after notice from Landlord, Lessee shall, upon demand, pay a late charge to Landlord in the amount of five percent (5%) of the overdue amount and such late charge shall be deemed "rent" for all purposes under this Lease. 10.

No such action by Landlord and no attempt made by Landlord to mitigate damages under any Law shall constitute a waiver of any Lessee's obligations under this Paragraph 10(b); and (e) Lessee's obligations and liabilities under Paragraph 10(b) shall survive the expiration of this Lease. 11. COMMON AREAS: All parking areas, driveways, alleys, public corridors, fire escapes and other areas, facilities and improvements provided by Landlord for the general use in common of Lessee and other lessees, their employees, agents, invitees and licensees, shall at all times be subject to the exclusive control and management of Landlord, and Landlord shall have the right from time to time to establish, modify and enforce reasonable rules and regulations with respect to all such areas, facilities and improvements. 12.

All alterations, improvements, additions or fixtures, whether installed before or after the execution of this Lease, shall remain upon the Premises at the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease and become the property of Landlord, unless Landlord shall, prior to the termination of this Lease, have given written notice to Lessee to remove the same. In the event that Landlord requests such removal and Lessee fails to remove same and repair any damage caused thereby on or before said expiration date, Lessee agrees to reimburse and pay Landlord for the cost of removing same and repairing any damage to the Premises caused by said removal, except for damage caused by negligence of Landlord, or its agents, workmen or employees. (b) In doing any such work of installation, removal, alteration or relocation, Lessee shall use due care to cause as little damage or injury as possible to the Premises or the Building and to repair all damage or injury that may occur to the Premises or the Building in connection with such work.

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING: (a) Subject to the terms of this Paragraph, Lessee shall have the right to assign or hypothecate this Lease. A corporate Lessee may, without consent of the Landlord, assign this Lease to its parent or subsidiary, provided that the assignee assumes, in full, the obligations under this Lease. (b) If, at any time or from time to time during the term of this Lease, Lessee desires to assign the Lease or to sublet all or part of the Premises, Lessee shall give notice to Landlord of such intent. Landlord shall have the option, exercisable by notice given to Lessee within twenty (20) days after receipt of Lessee's notice, of re-acquiring the portion of the Premises proposed to be assigned or sublet and terminating the Lease with respect thereto.

(2) Landlord may exercise its option set forth above at any time prior to the execution of a sublease agreement to which Landlord has given its consent in writing; (3) No sublease shall be valid and no Sublessee shall take possession of the premises subleased until an executed counterpart of such sublease has been delivered to Landlord; (4) No Sublessee shall have a right to further sublet; and (5) Any sums or other economic consideration received by Lessee as a result of such subletting (except rental or other payments received which are attributable to the amortization of the cost of leasehold improvements, other than building standard lessee improvements made to the sublet portion of the Premises by Lessee for Sublessee), whether denominated rentals under the Sublease or otherwise, which exceed in the aggregate the total sums which Lessee is obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease (pro-rated to reflect obligations allocable to that portion of the Premises subject to such sublease) shall be divided equally with Landlord as additional rent under this Lease without affecting or reducing any other obligation of Lessee hereunder. (c) Upon the consent of the Landlord for Lessee to sublet or assign this Lease, Lessee shall be released from all obligations hereunder and any sublessee or assignee of said Lease shall assume full responsibility for the obligations hereunder and shall replace Lessee's Security Deposit with Landlord and Landlord shall promptly return Lessee's Security Deposit, if any, less any amounts reasonably held for damages. 17. ACCESS TO PREMISES: Landlord, its employees and agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times during normal business hours and at any time in case of an emergency for the purpose of examining or inspecting the same, showing the same to mortgagees or lessees of the Building, as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable, provided, however, Landlord shall proceed in a manner to minimize the disruption of Lessee's business. 18.

If Lessee, after receiving written notice from Landlord outlining such repairs that Landlord believes Lessee should make, refuses or neglects to make such repairs or fails to diligently prosecute the same to completion after 30 days of the date that such written notice from Landlord is received, Landlord may make such repairs at the expense of Lessee and such expense shall be collectible as additional rent. (c) Landlord shall not be liable by reason of any injury to or interference with Lessee's business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises or Building or to any appurtenances or equipment therein. Landlord shall interfere as little as reasonably practicable with the conduct of Lessee's business. There shall be no abatement of rent because of such repairs, alterations, additions or improvements.

Landlord agrees that if Lessee is unable to use the Premises for a period of seven (7) consecutive days as a result of (i) any action caused by Landlord or any other tenants of the Building or (ii) the failure of the Landlord to rectify any situation which has rendered the Premises unusable for normal business operations, including the lack of utilities and/or damage to the Premises, then Lessee's rent shall be abated until such time as the Premises are again usable for normal business operations as certified by the required city and or county officials; provided, however, if such Premises are unusable for normal business purposes for a period of more than ninety (90) consecutive days, Lessee shall have the option to terminate by providing Landlord with ten (10) days notice of the intent to terminate. 20. NEGATIVE COVENANTS OF LESSEE: (a) Lessee agrees that it will not do or suffer to be done, any act, matter or thing objectionable to the fire insurance companies whereby the fire insurance or any other insurance now in force or hereafter to be placed on the Premises or Building, shall become void or suspended or whereby the same shall be rated as a more hazardous risk than at the date when Lessee receives possession hereunder. In case of a breach of this covenant, in addition to all other remedies of Landlord hereunder, Lessee agrees to pay to Landlord, as additional rent, any and all increases in premiums on insurance carried by Landlord on the Premises or any part thereof, or on the Building of which the Premises may be a part, caused in any way by the occupancy of Lessee. (b) Lessee will not store or discharge any toxic, radioactive or other hazardous substances or wastes on or adjacent to the Premises or utilize the Premises or any adjacent lands for the generation, manufacture, refining, transportation, treatment, storage, handling or disposal of any such substances or wastes in violation of any other laws, rules, regulations or procedures of any federal or state environmental regulatory body or agency. 21. FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY: (a) If the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, the damages shall be repaired by and at the expense of Landlord to at least as good condition as that which existed immediately prior to such damage. Landlord agrees to repair such damage within a reasonable period of time after receipt from Lessee of written notice of such damage, subject to any delays caused by acts of God, labor strikes or other events beyond Landlord's control; provided, however, that if Landlord is unable to complete such repairs within ninety (90) days, then Lessee shall have the option to terminate by providing Landlord with ten (10) days notice of the intent to terminate. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Lessee or injury to the business of Lessee in any way from such damage or the repair thereof. Lessee acknowledges notice that: (i) Landlord shall not obtain insurance of any kind on Lessee's furniture or furnishings, equipment, fixtures, alterations, improvements and additions; (ii) it is Lessee's obligation to obtain such insurance at Lessee's sole cost and expense; and (iii) Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same. (b) If the Premises, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, are: (i) rendered substantially untenantable by reason of such fire or other casualty; or (ii) twenty percent (20%) or more of the Premises is damaged by said fire or other casualty and less than six (6) months would remain in the Lease term or any renewal thereof upon completion of the repairs or reconstruction, Landlord shall have the right, to be exercised by notice in writing delivered to Lessee within thirty (30) days from and after said occurrence, to elect not to reconstruct the Premises, and in such event this Lease and the tenancy hereby created shall cease as of the date of said occurrence, the rent to be adjusted as of said date. (c) If more than fifty percent (50%) of the Building shall be substantially damaged by fire or other casualty, regardless of whether or not the Premises were damaged by such occurrence, Landlord shall have the right, to be exercised by notice in writing delivered to Lessee within thirty (30) days from and after said occurrence, to terminate this Lease, and in such event this Lease and the tenancy hereby created shall cease as of the date of said termination, unless terminated as of the date of said occurrence in accordance with Paragraph 21(b) hereof, the rent to be adjusted as of the date of such termination. (d) If the Premises are substantially damaged in that Landlord is unable to restore the Premises for Lessee's occupancy within ninety (90) days, Lessee shall have the option, to be exercised by notice in writing delivered to Landlord within ten (10) days after said occurrence, to elect to terminate this Lease, and in such event this Lease and the tenancy hereby created shall cease as of the date of said termination. 22. SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT: This Lease is subject and subordinate to any first mortgages now or thereafter affecting or covering the Premises and all or any part of the Building. Notwithstanding the aforesaid subordination, in the event of the foreclosure of any such mortgage; (a) this Lease shall not terminate; and (b) the peaceful possession of Lessee shall not be disturbed, provided that Lessee is not in default under any of the terms and conditions of this Lease. Lessee agrees to attorn to and to recognize the mortgagee or the purchaser at foreclosure sale as Lessee's landlord for the balance of the term of this Lease. Lessee hereby agrees, however, that such mortgagee or the purchaser at foreclosure sale shall not be: (i) liable for any act or omission of Landlord; (ii) subject to any offsets or defenses which Lessee might have against Landlord; (iii) bound by any rent or additional rent which Lessee may have paid to Landlord for more than the current month; or (iv) bound by any amendment or modification of this Lease made without its consent. The aforesaid subordination, non-disturbance and attornment provisions shall be self-operative, however, Lessee agrees to promptly execute any other agreement submitted by Landlord in confirmation or acknowledgment of same. 23. CONDEMNATION: (a) If the whole of the Premises shall be condemned or taken either permanently or temporarily for any public or quasi-public use or purpose under any statute or by right of eminent domain or by private purchase in lieu thereof, then, in that event, the term of this Lease shall cease and terminate from the date when possession is taken thereunder pursuant to such proceeding or purchase. The rent shall be adjusted as of the time of such termination and any rent paid for a period thereafter shall be refunded. In the event only a portion of the Premises or a portion of the Building containing same shall be so taken (even though the Premises may not have been affected by the taking of some other portion of the Building containing same), Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease from the date when possession is taken thereunder pursuant to such proceeding or purchase or Landlord may elect to repair and restore, at its own expense, the portion not taken, and thereafter rent shall be reduced proportionately to the portion of the Premises taken. (b) In the event of any total or partial taking of the Premises or the Building, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award in any such proceeding, and Lessee hereby assigns any and all right, title and interest of Lessee now or hereafter arising in or to any such award or any part thereof and hereby waives all rights against Landlord and the condemning authority, except that Lessee shall have the right to claim and prove in any such proceeding and to receive any award which may be made to Lessee, if any, specifically for damages for loss of good will, movable trade fixtures, equipment and moving expenses. 24. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE: Lessee shall, at any time and from time to time within ten (10) days after written request by Landlord, deliver to Landlord a statement in writing duly executed by Lessee, certifying: (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect without modification or amendment (or, if there have been any modifications or amendments, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified as amended and setting forth the modifications and amendments); (ii) the dates to which annual basic rental and additional rent have been paid; and (iii) that to the knowledge of Lessee, no default exists under this Lease or specifying each such default; it being the intention and agreement of Landlord and Lessee that any such statement by Lessee may be relied upon a prospective purchaser or a prospective or current mortgagee of the Building or by others in any matter affecting the Premises. 25. DEFAULT: The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Lessee: (a) Failure of Lessee to take possession of the Premises within fifteen (15) days after notice to Lessee that the same is ready for occupancy by Lessee; (b) The vacation or abandonment of the Premises after initial occupancy; (c) A failure by Lessee to pay, when due, any installment of rent hereunder or any such other sum herein required to be paid by Lessee where such failure continues for ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Lessee; (d) A failure by Lessee to observe and perform any other provisions or covenants of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee, where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Lessee, provided, however, that if the nature of the default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, commence such cure and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion; (e) The filing of a petition by or against Lessee for adjudication as a bankrupt or insolvent or for its reorganization or for the appointment pursuant to any local, state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law of a receiver or trustee of Lessee's property; or an assignment by Lessee for the benefit of creditors; or the taking possession of the property of Lessee by any local, state or federal possession of the property of Lessee by any local, state or federal governmental officer or agency or court-appointed official for the dissolution or liquidation of Lessee or for the operating, either temporarily or permanently, of Lessee's business, provided, however, that if any such action is commenced against Lessee, the same shall not constitute a default if Lessee causes the same to be dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing of same. 26. REMEDIES: Upon the occurrence of any such event of default as set forth above: (a) Landlord may cure for the account of Lessee any such default of Lessee and immediately recover as additional rent any expenditures made, including reasonable attorney's fees and costs of suit and the amount of any obligations incurred in connection therewith, plus interest at prime plus two percent (2%) per annum from the date of any such expenditure; (b) In determining the amount of any future payment due to Landlord on account of increase in Operation and Maintenance Costs, Landlord may make such determination based upon the amount of Operation and Maintenance Costs for the Premises that are subject to this Lease for the full year immediately prior to such default. If the Premises had Operation and Maintenance Costs for less than one (1) full year prior to default, Landlord may make such determination based upon the average monthly Operation and Maintenance Costs for the less than one (1) year period; (c) Landlord, at its option, may serve notice upon Lessee that this Lease and the then unexpired term hereof shall cease and expire and become absolutely void on the date specified in such notice, without any right on the part of Lessee to save the forfeiture by payment of any sum and, thereupon and at the expiration of the time limit of such notice, this Lease and the term hereof granted, as well as the right, title and interest of Lessee hereunder, shall wholly cease and expire and become void in the same manner and with the same force and effect (except as to Lessee's liability) as if the date fixed in such notice were the date herein established for expiration of the term of the Lease. Thereupon, Lessee shall immediately quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises, and Landlord may enter into and repossess the Premises by summary proceedings, detainer, ejectment or otherwise, and remove all occupants thereof and property therein, at Landlord's option, without being liable to indictment, prosecution or liability and obligations under this Lease, whether or not the Premises shall relet; except as otherwise provided by law; (d) Landlord may, at any time after the occurrence of any event of default, re-enter and repossess the Premises and any part thereof and attempt in its own name, as agent for Lessee if the Lease not be terminated or on its own behalf if the Lease be terminated, to relet all or any part of such Premises for and upon such terms and to such person, firms or corporations and for such period or periods as Landlord, in its sole discretion, shall determine, including the term beyond the termination of this Lease; and Landlord shall not be required to accept any lessee offered by Lessee or observe any instruction given by Lessee about such re-letting. Landlord must use its best efforts to mitigate damages in connection with any re-letting. For the purpose of such re-letting, Landlord may decorate or make repairs, changes, alterations or additions in or to the Premises to the extent deemed desirable or convenient by Landlord; and the cost of such decoration, repairs, changes, alterations or additions shall be charged to and be payable by Lessee as additional rent hereunder, as well as any reasonable brokerage and legal fees expended by Landlord; and any sums collected by Landlord from any new lessee obtained on account of Lessee shall be credited against the balance of rent due hereunder as aforesaid. Lessee shall pay to Landlord monthly on the days when the rent would have been payable under this Lease, the amount due hereunder, less the amount obtained by Landlord from such new lessee; (e) Landlord shall have the right of injunction, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by Lessee of any of the agreements, conditions, covenants or terms hereof to restrain the same and the right to invoke any remedy allowed by law or in equity, whether or not other remedies, indemnity or reimbursements are herein provided. The rights and remedies given to Landlord in this Lease are distinct, separate and cumulative remedies and any one of them, whether or not exercised by Landlord, shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any of the others; (f) In the event that Landlord takes action to collect unpaid amounts owed by Lessee (whether accelerated or otherwise) or to re-gain possession of the Premises (whether by eviction proceedings or otherwise), all expenses incurred by Landlord (including, but not limited to attorney's fees) shall be additional rent immediately payable by Lessee to Landlord. 27. REQUIREMENTS OF STRICT PERFORMANCE: The failure or delay on the part of either party to enforce or exercise at any time any of the provisions, rights or remedies in this Lease shall in no way be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor in any way affect the validity of this Lease or any part hereof, or the right of the party to thereafter enforce each and every such provision, right or remedy. No waiver of any breach of this Lease shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. The receipt by Landlord of rent at a time when the rent is in default under this Lease shall not be construed as a waiver of such default. The receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the rent due shall not be construed to be other than a payment on account of the rent then due, nor shall any statement of Lessee's check or any letter accompanying Lessee's check be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of the rent due or to pursue any other remedies provided in this Lease. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord's agents or employees during the term of this Lease shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such a surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord. 28. SURRENDER OF PREMISES - HOLDING OVER: (a) This Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall deliver up and surrender possession of the Premises on the last day of the term hereof and Lessee waives the right to any notice of termination of this Lease. Lessee shall provide Landlord with its forwarding address; (b) Lessee covenants that, upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, it shall deliver up and surrender possession of the Premises in the same condition as of the commencement of the Lease, reasonable wear and tear excepted, in which Lessee has agreed to keep the same during the continuance of this Lease and in accordance with the terms thereof; (c) Upon the failure of Lessee to surrender possession of the Premises upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Lessee shall pay to Landlord, as liquidated damages, an amount equal to one and one quarter (125%) of the rent and additional rent required to be paid under this Lease as applied to any period in which the Lessee shall remain in possession after the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. 29. NOTICES: All notices, consents, requests, instructions, approvals and/or communications provided herein shall be validly given, made or served if in writing and delivered personally as proved by receipt signed by an authorized representative or receipt by an express mail company or delivery service signed by an authorized representative or by registered or certified mail, proved by an executed return receipt, postage paid, signed by an authorized representative addressed as follows: To Landlord: CAMBRIDGE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATES L.P 27300 Riverview Center Blvd., Suite 201 Bonita Springs, FL 34134 With a copy to: To Lessee at: NEO-GENOMICS, INC. 12701 Commonwealth Drive Units 8&9 Fort Myers, FL 33913 With a copy to: 30.

GOVERNING LAWS: This Lease shall be construed, governed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. 36. SEVERABILITY: If any provision of this Lease shall be held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall in no way be affected or impaired and such remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. 37.
