Exhibit 10.2
FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT (the “Amendment”), is made this
31st day of March, 2008 (the “Effective Date”), by and between DELTA LIFE
INSURANCE CO., a Georgia corporation (“Landlord”) and ATLANTIC AMERICAN CORPORATION,
BANKERS FIDELITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY and GEORGIA CASUALTY & SURETY COMPANY, all Georgia
corporations (collectively, “Tenant”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Lease Agreement dated November 1, 2007
(the “Lease”), for approximately 65,489 square feet of office space (the
“Premises”) in the building located at 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, X.X., Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000
(“Building”); and
WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to modify and amend the Lease in order to reduce the size
of the Premises, release Georgia Casualty & Surety Company, a Georgia corporation (“GA
Casualty”) from the Lease and for other purposes as hereinafter set forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and for Ten
and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, paid by the parties hereto
to one another, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged by the parties hereto, the
parties hereto hereby covenant and agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Amendment, all terms
defined in the Lease shall have the same meanings when used herein as when used in the Lease, and
all such defined terms in the Lease are incorporated herein by reference.
2. Partial Surrender of Premises. As of the Effective Date, the Lease shall expire as
to that portion of the Premises consisting of 15,903 usable square feet, as more particularly
described on Exhibit A attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof (the “Surrender
Space”). From and after the Effective Date, the Surrender Space shall cease to be part of the
Premises demised by the Lease. However, the Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the
remainder of the Premises consisting of 49,586 square feet (the “Retained Space”).
Commencing on the day following the Effective Date (the “Retained Space Commencement
Date”), the square footage amount of 49,586 shall be used for all per square foot calculation
ratios and expenses, including, but not limited to, the calculations of Rent and Tenant’s pro-rate
share. Beginning as of the Retained Space Commencement Date, the term “Premises” in the Lease
shall be deemed to mean the Retained Space.
3. Release of GA Casualty. It is the intent of the parties that contemporaneously
with the execution of this Amendment Landlord will enter into a lease agreement with Columbia
Insurance Group, Inc., a Missouri corporation, for the Surrender Space. Accordingly, as of the
Effective Date, GA Casualty shall be released as a tenant under the Lease and all obligations of GA
Casualty under the Lease shall terminate and be of no further force or effect. However, the Lease
shall remain in full force and effect as to the remaining tenants, Atlantic American Corporation
and Bankers Fidelity Life Insurance Company.
4. Brokerage. Landlord and Tenant each represent, warrant and covenant to the other
that neither party has dealt in any way with any real estate broker in connection with this
Amendment. Tenant and Landlord each shall indemnify and hold the other party harmless (including
attorneys’ fees and costs) from any and all liabilities and costs arising from any claim resulting
from the other party’s contacts with any broker making a claim against the other party in
connection with this Amendment. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease.
5. No Other Modifications. Except as expressly modified by this Amendment, the Lease
remains unmodified and in full force and effect.
6. Transfer, Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall inure to the benefit of and
shall be binding upon Landlord, Tenant and their respective transfers, successors and assigns.
7. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Amendment.
8. Georgia Law. This Amendment shall be construed and interpreted under the laws of
the State of Georgia.
