materials for any construction on to the Leased Premises or any part thereof, nor as giving

any portion of the Leased Premises or against Landlord's or Tenant's interest therein. If a lien is

Florida Statutes, as are necessary to give public notice of the terms and conditions hereof Tenant
is hereby informed that Landlord may have already filed a notice in the public records which

Landlord may inspect the Leased Premises.

subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against Landlord, (iii) bound by any
Rent or Additional Rent which Tenant may have paid to Landlord for more than the current

acknowledgment of same within ten (10) days of its presentation to Tenant. However,

casualty during the Term of the Lease, either party may terminate this Lease upon written notice

portion thereof as will make the Leased Premises unusable for the purposes leased hereunder,

amount of the Leased Premises taken. All compensation awarded or paid upon a total or partial
taking of the Leased Premises including the value of the Ieasehold estate created hereby shall
belong to and be the property of Landlord without any participation by Tenant; Tenant shall have
no claim to any such award based on Tenant's leasehold interest. However, nothing contained
herein shall be construed to preclude Tenant, at its cost, from independently prosecuting any
claim directly against the condemning authority in such condemnation proceeding for damage to,
or cost of removal of, stock, trade fixtures, furniture, and other personal property belonging to
Tenant, improvements paid for by Tenant, and moving and other reasonable relocation expenses;
provided, however, that no such claim shall diminish or otherwise adversely affect Landlord's
