Related to Quality Use and Occupancy of the Premises and Provision of Landlords Services

• Subleased Premises Sublandlord hereby subleases to Subtenant and Subtenant hereby subleases from Sublandlord for the term, at the rental, and upon all of the conditions set forth herein, the Subleased Premises.

• Condition of Leased Premises Tenant hereby acknowledges that Xxxxxx has examined the leased premises prior to the signing of this Lease, or knowingly waived said examination. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has not relied on any representations made by Landlord or Landlord’s agents regarding the condition of the leased premises and that Tenant takes premises in its AS-IS condition with no express or implied warranties or representations beyond those contained herein or required by applicable Georgia law. Xxxxxx agrees not to damage the premises through any act or omission, and to be responsible for any damages sustained through the acts or omissions of Tenant, Xxxxxx’s family or Xxxxxx’s invitees, licensees, and/or guests. If such damages are incurred, Tenant is required to pay for any resulting repairs at the same time and in addition to the next month’s rent payment, with consequences for non-payment identical to those for non- payment of rent described herein. At the expiration or termination of the Lease, Tenant shall return the leased premises in as good condition as when taken by Tenant at the commencement of the lease, with only normal wear-and-tear excepted. Any modification of this lease shall not be binding upon Landlord unless in writing and signed by Landlord or Landlord’s authorized agent. No oral representation shall be effective to modify this Lease. If, as per the terms of this paragraph, any provision of this lease is newly added, modified, or stricken out, the remainder of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.

• Condition of Subleased Premises (a) Subtenant shall maintain and repair the Subleased Premises in a manner consistent with Sublandlord’s obligations under the Lease. Sublandlord shall have the right to enter the Subleased Premises from time to time upon reasonable prior notice to Subtenant, during normal business hours and escorted by Subtenant (if Subtenant makes such escort reasonably available). Sublandlord’s right of entry shall include the right of inspection to confirm that Subtenant is in compliance with all applicable maintenance and repair obligations set forth in the Lease. In the event that Sublandlord determines, in Sublandlord’s reasonable opinion, that Subtenant is in default of any maintenance and/or repair obligation set forth in the Lease, and such default may incur liability to Sublandlord upon the surrender of the Subleased Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease (a “Required Repair Item”), then Sublandlord shall have the right to notify Subtenant of any such Required Repair Items. Subtenant shall be obligated to cure such Required Repair Items within thirty (30) days of such notice from Sublandlord, or, if such Required Repair Items cannot be reasonably completed in such thirty (30) day period, such longer period as reasonably necessary to cure such Required Repair Items, so long as Subtenant has commenced such cure and diligently pursues such cure to completion. In no event shall Sublandlord’s rights hereunder impose any additional and/or greater repair or maintenance standards from those set forth in the Lease. In the event Subtenant fails to cure such Required Repair Items as set forth above, then such failure shall be deemed a default under this Sublease, entitling Sublandlord to exercise any of its rights and remedies herein, including, without limitation, the self help rights set forth in Section 6(b) above. (b) Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, Subtenant shall (i) return the Subleased Premises to Sublandlord in the condition required by the Lease, normal wear and tear and damage by casualty or condemnation excepted, and (ii) in accordance with the terms of the Lease, remove all personal property and equipment (other than fixtures but including trade fixtures) from the Subleased Premises required to be removed from the Subleased Premises in accordance with the Lease. Upon such expiration, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall schedule a walk-through of the Subleased Premises to determine whether Subtenant has complied with its obligation to surrender as set forth above. Sublandlord shall notify Subtenant of any perceived noncompliance at the time of the walk-through, or Sublandlord shall be estopped from attempting to charge Subtenant for the same at a later date. Sublandlord may forthwith re-enter the Subleased Premises following notice to Subtenant and repossess itself thereof and remove all persons and effects therefrom, using such force as may be reasonably necessary without being guilty of forcible entry, detainer, trespass or other tort. Subtenant’s obligation to observe or perform these covenants shall survive the expiration or other termination of the Sublease Term.

• LANDLORD'S SERVICES Provided Tenant is not in default hereunder and is occupying a substantial portion of the Premises, Landlord, at Xxxxxxxx's expense (but subject to the reimbursement provisions of Article 5 and except as otherwise provided in this Lease) shall furnish to Tenant the following services: (a) Air-conditioning and central heat at such temperatures and in such amounts as are reasonably considered by Landlord to be standard for the Building, during normal business hours for the Building as set forth in the Rules and Regulations attached as Exhibit "E" hereto. (b) Janitorial cleaning services in the Premises and public and exterior portions of the Building for all days, except Saturdays, Sundays and holidays; provided, however, if Tenant's floor covering or other improvements are other than Building Standard, Tenant shall pay the additional cleaning cost attributable thereto as additional Rent upon presentation of a statement therefor by Landlord. (c) Hot and cold water at those points of supply provided for general use of other tenants in the Building. (d) Normal and customary routine maintenance for all public, structural, and exterior portions of the Project according to Landlord's standards. (e) Electric lighting service for all public portions of the Project in the manner and to the extent reasonably deemed by Landlord to be standard for comparable buildings in the market area. (f) Automatic passenger elevator service for access to and egress from the Premises. Freight elevator service, in common with other tenants, shall be provided during reasonable business hours as prescribed by Landlord, exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Landlord may reduce the number of elevators operating outside of business hours. (g) All Building Standard fluorescent bulb replacement in all common and public areas, toilet and restroom areas and stairwells. (h) Electrical facilities to furnish sufficient power for typewriters, calculating machines and other machines of similar low electrical consumption (total electrical power requirement not to exceed one watt per square foot of rentable area); but not including electricity required for electronic data processing equipment, special lighting in excess of Building Standard, and any other item of electrical equipment, the electrical power equipment of which (singly) is more than 0.5 kilowatts per hour at rated capacity or requires a voltage other than 120 volts single phase; and provided that Landlord shall not be obligated to provide (unless otherwise specifically agreed upon in writing) dedicated circuits or electrical power in excess of Building Standard and provided that if the installation of said electrical equipment requires additional air conditioning capacity above that provided by the Building Standard system, then the additional air conditioning installation and operating costs will be the obligation of Tenant. Landlord, at its option, may cause a water meter, electric current meter or such similar device to be installed on the Premises so as to measure the amount of water and electric current consumed by Tenant. The cost of any such meters and of the installation, maintenance and repair thereof shall be paid for by Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx agrees to pay to Landlord, promptly upon demand by Landlord, for all such excess water and electric expense incurred. If a separate meter is not installed or Landlord is prevented from installing a separate meter by operation of law or other cause beyond Landlord's control, such excess costs for such water and electric current will be established by an estimate made by the utility company, electrical engineer, or an independent consultant, which estimate shall be binding on Tenant. (i) Security services as Landlord may from time to time reasonably deem to be standard for comparable buildings in the market area. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, TENANT EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LANDLORD IS NOT WARRANTING THE EFFICACY OF ANY SUCH SECURITY PERSONNEL, SERVICE, PROCEDURES OR EQUIPMENT AND THAT TENANT IS NOT RELYING AND SHALL NOT HEREAFTER RELY ON ANY SUCH PERSONNEL, SERVICE, PROCEDURES OR EQUIPMENT. LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE IN ANY MANNER FOR FAILURE OF ANY SUCH SECURITY PERSONNEL, SERVICES, PROCEDURES OR EQUIPMENT TO PREVENT OR CONTROL, OR APPREHEND ANYONE SUSPECTED OF, PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE IN, ON OR AROUND THE PROJECT.

• Leased Premises Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee leases and takes from Lessor, the Leased Premises subject to the conditions of this Lease.

• LANDLORD'S ACCESS TO PREMISES Landlord reserves and shall at any time upon reasonable notice and in compliance with Tenant’s reasonable security measures have the right to enter the Premises to inspect the same, to supply any service to be provided by Landlord to Tenant hereunder to service and repair HVAC units, water pipes and sprinkler mains, and electrical and telephone risers servicing other parts of the Building, to show said Premises to prospective purchasers or tenants, to alter or repair the Premises or any portion of the Building, and to place “for sale” or “for rent” signs on the Building, all without being deemed guilty of an eviction of Tenant and without abatement of Rent, provided that the business of Tenant shall be interfered with as little as is reasonably practicable. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages or any inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, any loss of quiet enjoyment of the Premises and any other loss occasioned thereby. For each of the aforesaid purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock the main door to the Premises but not Tenant’s vaults and safes, and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open said door in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises, and any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said means shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of the Premises, or any eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof. No provision of this Lease shall be construed as obligating Landlord to perform any repairs, alterations or decoration except as otherwise expressly agreed to be performed by Landlord.

• Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or any other casualty. If the Premises or any Common Areas serving or providing access to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord's reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 1 1, restore the Base Building and such Common Areas. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the Base Building and the Common Areas prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Building or Project or any other modifications to the Common Areas deemed desirable by Landlord, which are consistent with the character of the Project, provided that access to the Premises and any common restrooms serving the Premises shall not be materially impaired. Landlord shall repair any injury or damage to the improvements which exist in the Premises as of the Lease Commencement Date (the "Original Improvements") and shall return such Original Improvements to their original condition. Prior to the commencement of construction, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord's review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and Landlord shall select the contractors to perform such improvement work. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant's business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or Common Areas necessary to Tenant's occupancy, and the Premises are not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof, then during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy, the Rent shall be abated in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises which is unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises, provided that if the Premises are so damaged that it is not reasonably practicable for Tenant to continue its business operations from any portion of the Premises, then the Rent shall be fully abated during such time.
