the elements excepted, and Tenant shall remove all of Tenant's property. All property, installations and additions
required to be removed by Tenant at the end of the Lease which remain in the Premises after the Tenant has
vacated shall be considered abandoned by Tenant and, at the option of the Landlord, may either be retained as
Landlord's property or removed at Tenant's expense.
12. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any action,
proceeding or counterclaim brought by either party against the other pertaining to any matters whatsoever arising
out of or in any way connected with the Lease or Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises, other than an action

performing all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease on Tenant's part to be performed, Tenant may
peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises.
14. LANDLORD'S RIGHT OF INSPECTION. The Landlord's right to enter the Premises shall be governed
by the provisions of Section 83.53, Florida Statutes, it being understood that hurricanes or severe storm warnings
shall constitute an emergency under such Section.
15. "AS IS". Tenant (or Tenant's agent) has inspected the Premises and is familiar and satisfied with its
present condition. The taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence that the
Premises were in good and satisfactory condition at the time such possession was taken.
16. NO WAVER OF LEASE TERMS. The failure of Landlord or Tenant to take any action against the
other for violation of any of the terms of the Lease shall not prevent a subsequent act of a similar nature from
being a violation of the Lease. No act or agreement to accept surrender of the Premises from Tenant shall be valid
unless in writing signed by Landlord.
17. INTERRUPTION OF SERVICE. Interruption or failure of any service required to be furnished to Tenant
by Landlord if due to causes beyond Landlord's control shall not entitle Tenant to any allowance or reduction of
rent.
