requested by Lessor within which to notify Lessee in writing that Lessor elects:

proposed subtenant is greater than the rental rate that Lessee must pay Lessor
hereunder for that portion of the Premises, or if any consideration shall be
promised to or received by Lessee in connection with such proposed assignment or
sublease (in addition to rental), then fifty (50%) percent of such excess rent
and other consideration shall be considered Additional Rent owed by Lessee to
Lessor (less brokerage commissions, reasonable attorneys' fees and other
disbursements reasonably incurred by Lessee for such assignment and subletting,
if acceptable evidence of such disbursements is delivered to Lessor), and shall
be paid by Lessee to Lessor, in the case of excess rental, in the same manner
that Lessee pays Base Rent and, in the case of any other consideration, within
ten (10) business days after receipt thereof by Lessee; or (z) to refuse, in
Lessor's sole and absolute discretion, to consent to Lessee's assignment or
subleasing of such space and to continue this Lease for commercially reasonable
grounds in full force and effect as to the entire Premises. If Lessor should
fail to notify Lessee in writing of such election within the aforesaid thirty
(30)-day period, Lessor shall be deemed to have elected option (z) above. Lessee
agrees to reimburse Lessor for legal fees and any other costs incurred by Lessor
in connection with any permitted assignment or subletting and such reasonable
payment shall not be deducted from Additional Rent owed to Lessor pursuant to
clause (y) above. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor copies of all documents
executed in connection with any permitted assignment or subletting, which
documents shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor and which shall
require such assignee to assume performance of all terms of this Lease on
Lessee's part to be performed. No acceptance by Lessor of any rental or any
other sum of money from any assignee, sublessee or other category of transferee
shall be deemed to constitute Lessor's consent to any assignment, sublease or
transfer.
(d) Any attempted assignment or sublease by Lessee in violation of the
terms and provisions of this Section 18 shall be void and such act shall
constitute a material breach of this Lease. In no event shall any assignment,
subletting or transfer, whether or not with Lessor's consent, relieve Lessee Of
its primary liability under this Lease for the Term, and Lessee shall in no way
be released from the full and complete performance of all of the terms hereof.
If Lessor takes possession of the Premises before the Lease Expiration Date,
Lessor shall have the right, at its option, to terminate all subleases, or to
take over any sublease of the Premises or any portion thereof and such subtenant
shall attorn to Lessor, as its landlord, under all the terms and obligations of
such sublease occurring from and after such date, but excluding previous acts,
omissions, negligence or defaults of Lessee and any repair or obligation in
excess of available net insurance proceeds or condemnation awards.
(e)(i) Lessee acknowledges that this Lease is a lease of nonresidential
real property and therefore agrees that Lessee, as the debtor in possession, or
the trustee for Lessee (collectively "the Trustee") in any proceeding under
Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code relating to bankruptcy, as amended
(the "Bankruptcy Code"), shall not seek or request any extension of time to
assume or reject this Lease or to perform any obligations of this Lease which
arise from or after the order of relief.
(ii) If the Trustee proposes to assume or to assign this Lease or
sublet the Premises (or any portion thereof) to any person which shall have made
a bona-fide offer to accept an assignment of this Lease or a subletting on terms
acceptable to the Trustee, then the Trustee shall give Lessor and its mortgagees
of which Lessee has notice written notice setting forth the name and address of
such person and the terms and conditions of such
-14-
27
offer, no later than twenty (20) days after receipt of such offer, but in any
event no later than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Trustee makes
application to the Bankruptcy Court for authority and approval to enter into
such assignment or subletting. Lessor shall have the prior right and option, to
be exercised by written notice to the Trustee given at any time prior to the
effective date of such proposed assignment or subletting, to accept an
assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Premises upon the same terms and
conditions and for the same consideration, if any, as the bona-fide offer made
by such person, less any brokerage commissions which may be payable out of the
consideration to be paid by such person for the assignment or subletting of this
Lease.
(iii) The Trustee shall have the right to assume Lessee's rights and
obligations under this Lease only if the Trustee: (A) promptly cures or provides
adequate assurance that the Trustee will promptly cure any default under this
Lease; (B) compensates or provides adequate assurance that the Trustee will
promptly compensate Lessor for any actual pecuniary loss incurred by Lessor as a
result of Lessee's default under this Lease; and (C) provides adequate assurance
of future performance under this Lease. Adequate assurance of future performance
by the proposed assignee shall include, as a minimum, that: (I) any proposed
assignee of this Lease shall deliver to Lessor a security deposit in an amount
equal to at least three (3) months' Rent accruing under this Lease; (II) any
proposed assignee of this Lease shall provide to Lessor an audited financial
statement, dated no later than six (6) months prior to the effective date of
such proposed assignment or sublease, with no material change therein as of the
effective date, which financial statement shall show the proposed assignee to
have a net worth equal to at least twelve (12) months' Rent accruing under this
Lease, or, in the alternative, the proposed assignee shall provide a guarantor
of such proposed assignee's obligations under this Lease, which guarantor shall
provide an audited financial statement meeting the requirements of (II) above
and shall execute and deliver to Lessor a guaranty agreement in form and
substance acceptable to Lessor; and (III) any proposed assignee shall grant to
Lessor a security interest in favor of Lessor in all furniture, fixtures and
other personal property to be used by such proposed assignee in the Premises.
All payments of Rent required of Lessee under this Lease, whether or not
expressly denominated as such in this Lease, shall constitute rent for the
purposes of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
(iv) The parties agree that for the purposes of the Bankruptcy Code
relating to (A) the obligation of the Trustee to provide adequate assurance that
the Trustee will "promptly" cure defaults and compensate for actual pecuniary
loss, the word "promptly" shall mean that cure of defaults and compensation will
occur no later than sixty (60) days following the filing of any motion or
application to assume this Lease; and (B) the obligation of the Trustee to
compensate or to provide adequate assurance that the Trustee will promptly
compensate Lessor for "actual pecuniary loss", the term "actual pecuniary loss"
shall mean, in addition to any other provisions contained herein relating to
Lessor's damages upon default, payments of Rent, including interest at the
Default Rate on all unpaid Rent and other obligations of Lessee to pay money
under this Lease, all attorneys' fees and related costs of Lessor incurred in
connection with any default of Lessee and in connection with Lessee's bankruptcy
proceedings.
(v) Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to
the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed, without further act or
deed, to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease and each
of the conditions and provisions hereof on and after the date of such
assignment. Any such assignee shall, upon the request of Lessor, forthwith
execute and deliver to Lessor an instrument, in form and substance acceptable to
Lessor, confirming such assumption.
(f) Lessor shall have the right to sell, transfer, assign, pledge and
convey all or any part of the Building and any and all of Lessor's rights under
this Lease. In the event that Lessor assigns or otherwise conveys its rights
under this Lease, Lessor shall be entirely freed and released from any
obligations accruing thereafter under the Lease, and Lessee agrees to look
solely to Lessor's successor-in-interest for performance of such obligations.
-15-

19. DESTRUCTION OR DAMAGE. Should the Premises be destroyed or so
damaged by fire or other casualty that, in the reasonable opinion of Lessor,
rebuilding or repairs cannot be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days
from the date of such fire or casualty, then Lessor may terminate this Lease,
in which event Rent hereunder shall be abated from the date of such damage or
destruction. However, if the damage or destruction is such that, in the
reasonable opinion of Lessor, rebuilding or repairs can be completed within one
hundred and eighty (180) days, Lessor covenants and agrees to make such repairs
to the extent that there are available insurance proceeds to fund the repairs
with reasonable promptness and dispatch, and to allow Lessee an abatement in the
Rent then payable hereunder for such time as the Premises are untenantable or
proportionately for such portion of the Premises as shall be untenantable, and
Lessee covenants and agrees that the terms of this Lease shall not be otherwise
altered.
20. CONDEMNATION AND ORDERS OF GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES.
(a) If all or any part of the Premises or the Building is permanently
taken or condemned by any competent authority for any public use or purpose
(including a deed given in lieu of condemnation), which taking or condemnation
renders the Premises substantially untenantable, this Lease shall terminate as
of the date title vests in such authority, and the Rent then payable hereunder
shall be apportioned as of such date.
(b) If any part of the Premises or the Building is taken or condemned
for any public use or purpose (including a deed given in lieu of condemnation)
and this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 20(a) above, the Rent then
payable hereunder shall be reduced for the period Of such taking by an amount
which bears the same ratio to such Rent as then payable as the number of square
feet of the Net Rentable Area of the Premises so taken or condemned bears to the
Net Rentable Area of the Premises specified in Section 2 above. Lessor, upon
receipt and to the extent of the award in condemnation or proceeds of sale,
shall make necessary repairs and restorations (exclusive of leasehold
improvements and personal property installed by Lessee) to restore the Premises
remaining to as near its former condition as circumstances will reasonably
permit, and to the Building to the extent necessary to constitute the portion of
same not so taken or condemned as a completed architectural unit. In the event
of any taking or condemnation described in this Section 20(b), the Net Rentable
Area of the Premises and the Net Rentable Area of the Building shall be reduced,
respectively, for all purposes under this Lease by the number of square feet of
the Net Rentable Area of the Premises and the Net Rentable Area of the Building
so taken or condemned. Nothing in this Section 20(b) shall prohibit the further
adjustment after such taking of Maintenance Rent hereunder in accordance with
the provisions of Section 5 hereof.
(c) Lessor shall be entitled to receive the entire price or award from
any cash sale, taking or condemnation without any payment to Lessee, and Lessee
hereby assigns to Lessor Lessee's interest, if any, in such award; provided,
however, that Lessee shall have the right separately to pursue against the
condemning authority an award in respect of the loss, if any, to the leasehold
improvements paid for by Lessee without any credit or allowance from Lessor.
(d) Lessee agrees, at its own expense, to promptly comply with all
requirements of any legally-constituted public authority made necessary by
reason of Lessee's occupancy of the Premises.
21. ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS
(a) Lessee shall not at any time during the term hereof make any
alterations to the Premises without first obtaining Lessor's written consent
thereto, which consent Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold or delay;
provided, however, that Lessor shall not be deemed unreasonable by refusing to
consent to any alterations which are visible from the exterior of the Building
or Premises, which will or are likely to cause any weakening of
-16-
29
any part of the structure of the Premises or the Building or which will or are
likely to cause damage or disruption to the Building systems or which are
prohibited by any underlying mortgage, all of which alteration requests Lessor
may reject in its sole discretion. Should Lessee desire to make any alterations
to the Premises, Lessee shall submit all plans and specifications for such
proposed alterations to Lessor for Lessor's review before Lessee allows any such
work to commence, and Lessor shall approve or disapprove such plans and
specifications for any of the reasons set forth in this Section 21(a) or for any
other reason reasonably deemed sufficient by Lessor. Lessee shall select and use
only contractors, subcontractors or other service personnel from those listed on
Lessor's approved list maintained by Lessor in its management office. Upon
Lessee's receipt of written approval from Lessor and any required approval of
any mortgagee of Lessor, and upon Lessee's payment to Lessor of a reasonable fee
prescribed by Lessor for the work of Lessor and Lessor's employees and
representatives in reviewing and approving such plans and specifications, Lessee
shall have the right to proceed with the construction of all approved
alterations, but only so long as such alterations are in strict compliance with
the plans and specifications so approved by Lessor and with the provisions of
this Section 21, including the use of contractors and service personnel approved
in advance by Lessor in writing. All alterations shall be made at Lessee's
expense, either by Lessee's contractors approved in advance by Lessor, or, at
Lessee's option, by Lessor on terms reasonably satisfactory to Lessee, including
a reasonable fee of actual expenses to Lessor to cover Lessor's overhead. In no
event, however, shall Lessee or its contractors or repair personnel be permitted
to do or allow any work affecting the Building systems.
(b) All construction, alterations and repair work done by, or for,
Lessee shall (i) be performed in such a manner as to maintain harmonious labor
relations, (ii) not adversely affect the safety of the Building or the Premises
or the systems thereof; (iii) comply with all building, safety, fire, plumbing,
electrical and other codes and governmental and insurance requirements, (iv) not
result in any usage in excess of building standard of water, electricity, gas or
other utilities or of heating, ventilating or air-conditioning (either during or
after such work) unless prior written arrangements satisfactory to Lessor are
made with respect thereto, (v) be completed promptly and in a first-class and
workmanlike manner and, if applicable, in compliance with, and subject to, all
of the provisions of Exhibit "E" hereto, and (vi) not disturb other tenants in
the Building.
(c) All leasehold improvements, alterations and other physical
additions made to, or installed by or for Lessee in, the Premises shall be
insured by Lessee, including Lessee's furniture, personal property and movable
trade fixtures. Lessee shall remove, at Lessee's expense, all furniture,
personal property, movable trade fixtures and, if directed to or permitted to do
so by Lessor in writing, and to the extent that the removal of the same will not
cause any structural damage to the Premises or the Building, all, or any part
of, the leasehold improvements, alterations and other physical additions made by
Lessee to the Premises, on or before the expiration date or earlier termination
of this Lease; Lessee shall repair, or promptly reimburse Lessor for the cost of
repairing, all damage done to the Premises or the Building by such removal. Any
leasehold improvements, alterations or physical additions made by Lessee which
Lessor does not direct or permit Lessee to remove at any time during or at the
end of the term shall become the property of Lessor without any payment to
Lessee. If Lessee fails to remove any of Lessee's furniture, personal property
or movable trade fixtures by the expiration date or earlier termination of this
Lease or, if Lessee fails to remove any leasehold improvements and other
physical additions made by Lessee to the Premises which Lessor has in writing
directed Lessee to remove, Lessor shall have the right, on the fifth (5th) day
after Lessor's delivery of written notice to Lessee, to deem such property
abandoned by Lessee and to remove, store, sell, discard or otherwise deal with
or dispose of such abandoned property in a commercially-reasonable manner.
Lessee shall be liable for all costs of such disposition of Lessee's abandoned
property, and Lessor shall have no liability to Lessee in any respect regarding
such property of Lessee. The provisions of this Section 21(c) shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
-17-
30
22. ATTORNEY'S FEES. Lessee agrees to pay all attorney's fees and
expenses Lessor incurs in enforcing any of the obligations of Lessee under this
Lease, or in any litigation or negotiation in which Lessor shall, without fault,
become involved through or an account of this Lease.
23. HOMESTEAD. Lessee waives all homestead rights and exemptions which
he may have under any law as against any obligation owing under this Lease.
Lessee hereby assigns to Lessor his homestead exemption.
24. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Each party hereto waives any and every claim
which may arise in its favor against the other party hereto during the term of
this Lease, or any renewal or extension hereof, for any and all loss of, or
damage to, any of its property located within or upon or constituting a part of
the Premises leased hereunder, if such loss or damage is covered by valid and
collectible fire and extended coverage insurance policies, and only to the
extent that such loss or damage is recoverable under said insurance policies.
Said mutual waivers shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or derogation
of, any other waiver or release contained in this Lease with respect to any loss
of, or damage to, property of the parties hereto. Inasmuch as the above mutual
waivers will preclude the assignment of any claim described above by way of
subrogation (or otherwise) to an insurance company (or any other person), each
party hereto agrees immediately to give to each insurance company which has
issued to it policies of fire and extended coverage insurance written notice of
the terms of said mutual waivers and to have said insurance policies properly
endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of said insurance coverage
by reason of said waivers.
25. INDEMNITY. Lessee waives all claims against Lessor for damage to
any property or injury to, or death of, any person in, upon, or about the
Building arising at any time and from any cause other than solely by reason of
the negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor, its agents, employees,
representatives, or contractors, and Lessee shall indemnify Lessor and shall
hold Lessor harmless from any damage to any property or injury to, or death of,
any person arising from the use of such building by Lessee or its agents,
employees, representatives, contractors, or invitees. Lessor shall indemnify and
shall hold Lessee harmless from any damage to any property or injury to, or
death of, any person arising from any event, regardless of cause (except as
herein provided), which occurs within the Building excluding the premises (and
inside the Premises if caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor,
its agents, employees, representatives, or contractors), unless such damage or
injury results from the negligence or willful misconduct of Lessee or its
agents, employees, representatives, contractors, licensees, servants, or
invitees. The foregoing indemnity obligations of Lessee and Lessor shall include
attorneys' fees, investigation costs and all other costs and expenses incurred
by Lessee or Lessor, as the case may be, from the first notice that any claim or
demand has been made or may be made. The provisions of this Section 25 shall
survive the termination of this Lease with respect to any damage, injury or
death occurring before such termination. If Lessor is made party to any
litigation commenced by or against Lessee, or relating to this Lease or to the
Premises, and provided that in any such litigation Lessor is not finally
adjudicated to be at fault, then Lessee shall pay all costs and expenses,
including attorneys' fees and court costs, reasonably incurred by or imposed
upon Lessor because of any such litigation, and the amount of all such costs and
expenses, including attorneys' fees and court costs, shall be a demand
obligation owing by Lessee to Lessor.
-18-
31
26. INSURANCE.
(a) Lessee, at its sole expense, shall obtain and keep in force
during the Term the following insurance:
(i) Broad-form all Risk insurance insuring Lessee's interest in the
Premises and all property located in the Premises, including furniture,
equipment fittings, installations, fixtures, supplies and any other personal
property, leasehold improvements alterations ("Lessee's Property") against fire,
vandalism, malicious mischief, earthquake and other perils insured against by
extended coverage, in an amount equal to the full replacement value, it being
understood that no lack or inadequacy of insurance by Lessee shall in any event
make Lessor subject to any claim by virtue of any theft or loss or damage to any
uninsured or inadequately insured property;
(ii) Comprehensive general public liability insurance including
personal injury, bodily injury, broad-form property damage, operations hazard,
elevator, owner's and contractor's protective coverage, contractural liability,
products and completed operations liability and use of all owned, non-owned and
hired vehicles, in limits not less than $3,000,000.00 inclusive on a claims
basis or such higher limits as Lessor may require from time to time during the
term of this Lease provided such higher limits are required by Lessor for
tenants of comparable size in the Building or are reasonably necessitated by
Lessee's particular use of the Premises;
(iii) Worker's Compensation and Employer's Liability insurance, with a
waiver of subrogation endorsement, in form and amount satisfactory to Lessor and
as required by law; and
(iv) Any other form or forms or amounts of insurance or any changes or
endorsements to the insurance required herein as Lessor or any mortgagee of
Lessor may require from time to time, provided such higher limits are required
for tenants of comparable size in premises similar to the Building or are
reasonably necessitated by Lessee's particular use of the Premises.
(b) The insurance required to be maintained by Lessee hereunder shall
be issued by nationally-recognized responsible insurance carriers licensed to do
business in the State of Georgia. Lessee shall have the right to include the
insurance required by Section 26(a) under Lessee's policies of "blanket
insurance", provided that no other loss which may also be insured by such
blanket insurance shall affect the insurance coverages required hereby and
provided Lessee delivers to Lessor a certificate specifically stating that such
coverages apply to Lessor, the Premises and the Building. All such policies
of insurance or certificates thereof shall name Lessee and Lessor as named
insureds thereunder and shall name all mortgagees of Lessor as additional named
insureds of which Lessee has been notified, all as their respective interests
may appear. All such policies or certificates shall be issued by insurers,
acceptable to Lessor and in form and with deductibles, if any, satisfactory from
time to time to Lessor. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor certificates with copies
of policies, together with satisfactory evidence of payment of premiums for such
policies by the commencement date and, with respect to renewals of such
policies, not later than forty-five (45) days prior to the and of the expiring
term of coverage. All policies of insurance should be primary and Lessee shall
not carry any separate or additional insurance concurrent in form or
contributing in the event of any loss or damage with any insurance required to
be maintained by Lessee under this Lease. Upon Lessor's request Lessee shall
deliver to Lessor certified copies of such policies. All such policies and
certificates shall contain an agreement by the insurers to notify Lessor and any
mortgagee of Lessor in writing, by Registered U.S. mail, return receipt
requested, not less than forty-five (45) days before any material change,
reduction in coverage, cancellation, including cancellation for non-payment of
premium, or other termination thereof or change therein and shall include a
clause or endorsement denying the insurer any rights of subrogation against
Lessor, if such clause or endorsement is
-19-
32
obtainable without additional cost to Lessee. Lessee hereby waives any right of
recovery against Lessor for injury or loss due to hazards covered by policies of
insurance required to be carried by Lessor under this Lease.
(c) Lessor shall insure, or cause to be insured, the Building against
damage with casualty insurance in an amount not less than ninety percent (90%)
of the replacement value of the Building and with such deductibles as Lessor
reasonably deems appropriate, and comprehensive general public liability
insurance, in such amounts and with such deductibles as Lessor reasonably deems
appropriate. Notwithstanding any contribution by Lessee to the cost of insurance
premiums, as provided hereinabove, Lessor shall not carry insurance of any kind
on Lessee's Property, and Lessee hereby agrees that Lessee shall have no right
to receive any proceeds from any insurance policies carried by Lessor.
(d) Lessee shall not knowingly conduct or permit to be conducted in the
Premises any activity, or place any equipment in or about the Premises or the
Building, which will invalidate the insurance coverage in effect or increase the
rate of fire insurance or other insurance on the Premises or the Building, and
Lessee shall comply with all requirements and regulations of Lessor's casualty
and liability insurer. If any invalidation of coverage or increase in the rate
of fire insurance or other insurance occurs or is threatened by any insurance
company due to any act or omission by Lessee, or its agents, employees,
representatives or contractors, such statement or threat shall be conclusive
evidence that the increase in such rate is due to such act of Lessee or the
contents or equipment in or about the Premises, and, as a result thereof, Lessee
shall be liable for such increase and shall reimburse Lessor therefor upon
demand. Any such sum shall be considered rental payable with the next monthly
installment becoming due under this Lease. In no event shall Lessee introduce or
permit to be kept on the Premises or brought into the Building any
dangerous, noxious, radioactive or explosive substance.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 26.00,
upon prior written notice to Lessor, Lessee may insure the amount of any
insurance required to be carried under Section 26.00 (a) under any plan of
self-insurance which it may from time to time have in force and effect provided
it furnishes upon request evidence satisfactory to Lessor and Lessor's lender of
the existence of an insurance reserve adequate for the risks covered by such
plan of self-insurance, or (b) under a blanket policy, or policies, covering
other liabilities of Lessee and its subsidiaries, controlling or affiliated
corporations, or (c) partly under such a plan of self-insurance and partly under
such blanket policies. Any portion of any risk for which Lessee is self-insured
shall be deemed to be an insured risk under this lease.
27. RULES AND REGULATIONS. The rules and regulations attached to this
Lease as Exhibit "D" shall be and are hereby made a part of this Lease. Lessee,
its employees and agents, will perform and abide by said rules and regulations,
and any amendments or additions to said rules and regulations as may be made
from time to time by Lessor in its sole and absolute discretion.
28. NO ESTATE IN LAND. This Lease shall create the relationship of
Lessor and Lessee between the parties hereto, no estate shall pass out of
Lessor. Lessee has only a usufruct, not subject to levy and sale, and not
assignable by Lessee except as provided in Section 18 hereof.
29. HOLDING OVER. If Lessee remains in possession of the Premises after
expiration of the term hereof, with Lessor's acquiescence and without any
express agreement of the parties, Lessee shall be a tenant under a
month-to-month tenancy at double the Rent (including Base Rent, Maintenance Rent
and all Additional Rent) in effect at the end of this Lease (and subject to all
terms and conditions of this Lease except as modified by this Section 29), and
there shall be no renewal of this Lease by operation of law.
30. SURRENDER OF PREMISES. At the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease, Lessee shall surrender the Premises and keys thereto to Lessor, in
the same condition as at commencement or the term, natural wear and tear only
excepted.
31. EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF LEASE. No termination of this Lease prior
to the Lease Expiration Date, by lapse of time or otherwise, shall affect
Lessor's right to collect Rent for the period prior to termination thereof.
32. RIGHTS CUMULATIVE. All rights, powers and privileges conferred
hereunder upon Lessor shall be cumulative but not restrictive to those given at
law or in equity.
33. NOTICES.
(a) Any notice, election, or other communication required or permitted
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be either (i) delivered in person to the
following named parties, (ii) sent by certified or registered United States
mail, return receipt requested, postage and charges prepaid, to the following

of the above-named attorneys and to the above-named parties, regardless if
accepted or rejected.
34. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence of this Lease.
35. LIENS. Lessee shall not suffer or give cause for the filing of any
lien against the Premises, the Building or the Land, and the existence of any
such lien of any nature against the Premises, the leasehold interest of Lessee
therein, the Building or the Land shall constitute a breach of this Lease.
36. PARTIES. "Lessor", as used in this Lease, shall include Lessor and
its heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns and
successors in title to the Building and the Premises, it being agreed and
understood by Lessee that Lessor may at any time freely transfer its entire
interest in the Building and the Premises, or any part thereof. "Lessee" shall
include Lessee and its heirs, executors, legal representatives, permitted
successors and, if this Lease is validly assigned or sublet, its assigns or
sublessees. "Lessor" and "Lessee" shall include male and female, singular and
plural, corporation, partnership or individual, as may fit the particular
parties.
37. [material omitted]

34
[material omitted]
38. MORTGAGES. Lessee's rights hereunder shall be subject and
subordinate to any bona fide mortgage or deed to secure debt which is now or may
hereafter be placed upon the Building by Lessor; provided, however, that, upon
foreclosure of any such mortgage or upon sale of the Premises under a power of
sale contained in any such deed to secure debt, the owner of the Building
pursuant to such foreclosure or sale shall have the right (to which Lessee
hereby specifically agrees), exercisable by written notice to Lessee mailed
within thirty (30) days after the date of such foreclosure or sale, either to
affirm this Lease, in which event this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect between such owner and Lessee in accordance with its terms, or to
terminate this Lease, in which event this Lease and all rights of the parties
hereto shall fully and finally terminate on the thirtieth (30th) day after the
date of mailing of such notice by such owner. Except for termination of this
Lease by the owner following such foreclosure or sale, this Lease shall not be
terminated under this Section 38 so long as Lessee is not in default in the
observance and performance of its covenants hereunder and Lessee shall be
entitled to quiet enjoyment of the Premises. Lessee shall, upon the request of
Lessor, execute and deliver such documentation or instruments which shall
evidence the subordination of this Lease to the lien of any mortgage or deed to
secure debt now or hereafter placed upon Lessor's interest in the Premises, the
Building or any future additions thereto.
39. EXCULPATION. Notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Lease to
the contrary, in the event of default hereunder by Lessor, unless Lessor shall
voluntarily cure said default or satisfy any claim asserted against Lessor, the
recourse of Lessee shall be against Lessor's interest in the Premises and Lessee
shall look solely to Lessor's interest in the Premises for satisfaction of any
judgment rendered against Lessor arising out of a default hereunder.
40. LATER CHARGES. All Rent, fees, contributions, interest or other
sums which Lessee is required to pay under this Lease shall be paid on or
before the date due. A late charge of three (3%) of the amount due shall be
paid as an administrative charge for any amount that is not timely paid, it
being agreed and understood that such late charge shall be payable in addition
to, and not in substitution for, any interest payable on such unpaid sums
hereunder.
-22-

2ND ADDENDUM TO LEASE
BETWEEN
EMBASSY ROW JOINT VENTURE
AND
CSX INTERMODAL, INC. (SUBSIDIARY OF CSX CORPORATION)
THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this 1st day of June, 1995 by
and between New York Life Insurance Company, a New York Corporation
(hereinafter the "Lessor"), and CSX INTERMODAL, INC. (subsidiary of CSX
Corporation), a Delaware corporation (Formally known as CSL Intermodal, Inc.)
(hereinafter the "Lessee");
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Embassy Row Venture and Lessee entered into a certain lease
agreement dated March 5, 1991 (hereinafter called the "Master Lease"), which
agreement provided that Lessee would lease from Lessor Five Thousand-Six Hundred
Sixty-Three (5,663) rentable square feet of office space (hereinafter the
"premises") as is more particularly described in the Master Lease, at an address
known as Xxxxx 000, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 according to the

present system of numbering addresses in Atlanta and Xxxxxx County, Georgia; and
WHEREAS, Embassy Row Venture and Lessee entered into a certain lease
addendum dated February 25, 1992, which agreement provided that Lessee would
lease from Lessor One Thousand-Nine Hundred Sixty Eight (1,968) rentable square
feet of additional office space on the Second Floor, Suite 220 in Building 000
Xxxxxxx Xxx under the terms and conditions specified in said above-referenced
Master Lease and as further provided in said addendum; and,
WHEREAS, Lessor and Lessee have agreed to a renewal of the Premises
totaling Seven Thousand-Six Hundred Thirty-One (7,631) square feet as outlined
below and attached as exhibit "A", upon the following terms and conditions:
56
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants flowing to and
from each of the parties hereto as set forth below;
1. Lessor does hereby lease to Lessee, and Lessee does hereby rent
and lease from Lessor, the above referenced Seven Thousand-Six Hundred
Thirty-One (7,631) rentable square feet on the Second Floor, Suites 250 and 220
of 000 Xxxxxxx Xxx Xxxxxx Xxxx as indicated on Exhibit "A" and attached hereto.
(The Net Rentable Area).
2. The lease term shall be extended for a period of five (5) years
from the current expiration date of January 31, 1996 (February 1, 1996 through
January 31, 2001).
3. Commencing April 1, 1995, the monthly rental will be adjusted to
equal Eleven Thousand One Hundred and Twenty Nine dollars ($11,129.00) with
escalations as set forth in Section 4 hereunder.
4. MAINTENANCE RENT. For each calendar year of the Term that the
"Operating Expenses" (as hereinafter defined) exceed the actual operating
expenses for 1995, (if in 1995, less than Ninety-Five Percent (95%) of the Net
Rentable Area of the building is fully occupied, all components of operating
expenses (as hereinafter defined) shall be adjusted for such year to the amount
which Lessor reasonable estimates would have been incurred had the building been
fully occupied) per square foot of the Net Rentable Area of the Building, Lessee
covenants and agrees to pay to Lessor, as maintenance rent ("Maintenance Rent"),
a percentage of such excess Operating Expenses based on the ratio of the New
Rentable Area of the Premises to the Net Rentable Area of the Building, which is
and for all purposes shall be deemed to be Five Percent (5%) ("Lessee's
Proportionate Share").
(a) For the purpose of calculating Maintenance Rent to be paid
pursuant to the terms of this Section 4(a), Lessor shall make a good-faith
estimate of the Operating Expenses (the "Projection of Operating Expenses") it
expects to be incurred with respect to the Building for each calendar year after
the calendar year during which this Lease is executed. The Projection of
Operating Expenses shall be made by Lessor not less than thirty
57
(30) days prior to the commencement of such calendar year. Lessor shall deliver
to Lessee a written statement setting forth the Projection of Operating Expenses
for such following year and shall provide therewith a calculation of the
increase in monthly installments of Rent, which shall thereafter include Base
Rent and Maintenance Rent, as well as any Additional Rent (as hereinafter
defined), payable hereunder, such increase to become effective January 1 of such
following year; provided, however, that failure of Lessor to provide any such
statement shall not relieve Lessee of its obligation to pay Base Rent and
Maintenance Rent at the rate then in effect under this Lease, within thirty (30)
days of the date Lessee receives such statement from Lessor, provided that such
notice is given by March 31st of the following year. Lessee shall pay any
increase in monthly Rent reflected thereby, effective retroactively to January 1
of such year. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that Maintenance Rent is based on
the Operating Expenses for a fully-occupied Building. Therefore, Lessor and
Lessee agree that, at any time at which less than ninety-five percent (95%) of
the Net Rentable Area of the Building is fully occupied during any full or
fractional calendar year during the Term, the Operating Expenses shall be
adjusted for such year to the amount which Lessor reasonably estimates would
have been incurred had the Building been fully occupied.
(b) For each calendar year during the Term, commencing with the calendar
year immediately subsequent to the calendar year in which this Lease is
executed, within ninety (90) days following the end of such calendar year, or at
such later time as Lessor shall be able to determine the same, Lessor shall
compute the actual amount of the Operating Expenses (the "Actual Operating
Expenses") of the Building for the calendar year last ended, and shall notify
Lessee in writing of the same. If the Actual Operating Expenses exceed the
Projection of Operating Expenses for such prior calendar year, Lessee shall,
within thirty (30) days of the date of such written notice from Lessor to
Lessee, pay to Lessor an amount equal to the excess of the adjusted annual
Maintenance Rent payable by Lessee, based on the Actual Operating
58
Expenses for such year, over the annual Maintenance Rent actually paid by Lessee
during such year, based on the Projection of Operating Expenses. The obligation
to make such payment shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease. In the event that the adjusted Maintenance Rent payable by Lessee, based
on the Actual Operating Expenses for such previous calendar year, is less than
Maintenance Rent actually paid by Lessee during such year, based on the
Projection of Operating Expenses, Lessor shall credit such excess to the monthly
installments of Rent payable after the date of Lessor's notice as provided
above, until such excess has been exhausted, or if this Lease shall expire prior
to full application of such excess and Lessee has then made full payment of any
and all remaining Rent and other sums due to Lessor hereunder, Lessor shall pay
to Lessee the balance thereof not theretofore applied to such monthly
installments of Rent promptly after the Lease Expiration Date. No interest or
penalties shall accrue on any amount which Lessor is obligated to credit or pay
to Lessee by reason of this Section 5(b).
(c) The term "Operating Expenses" shall include all expenses, cost and
charges incurred by Lessor for the operation, maintenance or repair of the
Building and shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
(i) The cost of all taxes and assessments levied or imposed with
respect to the Building and the real property (the "Land") on which it is
situated, which is more particularly described in Exhibit "C" attached hereto
and made a part hereof by reference, including, without limitation, all taxes
relating to the operation, maintenance, repair or ownership of the Building and
the Land (for purposes of this Section 4(c)(i), a tax assessment, levy,
imposition or charge intended wholly or partially as a capital levy or otherwise
on Rent received by Lessor, or a license fee measured by Rent payable by Lessee
to Lessor, or any other such additional or substitute tax, assessment, levy,
imposition or charge, is deemed to be included within the term "taxes");
(ii) The cost of any managing agents employed for the operation and
maintenance of the Building and the Land;
59
(iii) The labor costs for any employees engaged on behalf of any such
managing agent or on behalf of Lessor to the extent engaged with respect to the
Building and the Land, including without limitation, costs related to the
following: payroll, social security, unemployment and other similar taxes;
worker's compensation, hospitalization and group insurance; uniforms and the
cleaning thereof; pension and retirement plans; and other reasonable benefits.
The classes of labor employed may include any classification of employees
utilized for comparable office buildings in Atlanta, Georgia including, but not
limited to, the following: building superintendents, their assistants and
clerical staff; floor directors; window cleaners and miscellaneous handymen;
cleaners and janitors; landscaping personnel; watchmen and persons engaged in
patrolling and protecting the Building or the Land; carpenters, engineers,
mechanics, electricians and plumbers; or personnel engaged exclusively in
supervising any of the persons mentioned above;
(iv) The cost of water, sewer, gas, electricity (including, without
limitation, fuel adjustment charges), fuel, light, heat, steam, natural gas and
other utilities utilized in the Building and on the Land, and any taxes thereon;
(v) The cost of premiums of casualty, liability (to include, without
limitation, all-risk coverage) and other insurance related to the Building and
the Land;
(vi) The cost of repairs and maintenance to the Building and the Land
not constituting capital improvements; provided, however, that the amortization
over a reasonable period of time as selected by Lessor of any expenses for
capital improvements made with the intent of reducing Operating Expenses shall
be included as "Operating Expenses";
(vii) The cost of materials, supplies and replacement tools and
equipment for repairs and maintenance to the Building and the Land;
(viii) The cost for security services for the Building and the Land
(or, if applicable, the pro rata cost thereof relative to the surrounding
development);
60
(ix) The cost of janitorial and cleaning supplies and services for the
Building and the Land;
(x) The cost of window cleaning for the Building;
(xi) The cost of landscaping services provided for the Building and
the Land (and, if applicable, the pro rata cost thereof relative to the
surrounding development);
(xii) The cost of services contracted for and/or provided by Lessor
and attributable to the operation, repair and maintenance of the Building,
including, without limitation, any such services related to the heating, air
conditioning, ventilating, plumbing, electrical, elevator or other systems of
the Building;
(xiii) The cost of services for telephone, telegraph, stationery,
postage, advertising and office administration attributable to the Building
and the Land;
(xiv) The cost of legal, accounting or other professional services
incurred in connection with the Building and the Land; and
(xv) All other reasonable operating or maintenance expenses
attributable or appropriately allocated to the operation or maintenance of the
Building and the Land.
"Operating Expenses" shall not include the following:
(i) Labor costs in respect of individual partners of Lessor, or if
such partner or a successor of Lessor be a corporation, then in respect of
officers or directors of such partner or successor;
(ii) Any insurance premium to the extent that Lessor is reimbursed for
such premium;
(iii) The cost of any items for which Lessor is reimbursed by
insurance or otherwise compensated; and
(iv) The cost of any additions to the Building subsequent the date
of the original construction thereof, or any alterations or refurbishing of
space in the Building, so long as such cost is incurred after the date of
execution of this Lease.
(e) In determining the amount of Operating Expenses, if Lessor is not
furnishing any particular work or service, the cost
61
of which if performed by Lessor would constitute an Operating Expense to a
Lessee who has undertaken to perform such work or service, Operating Expenses
shall be deemed for the purposes of this Section 5 to be increased by an amount
equal to the additional Operating Expenses which would have reasonably been
incurred during such period by Lessor if it had, at its own expense, furnished
such work or service to such Lessee.
(f) Upon thirty (30) days' prior written request of Lessee on or before
April 30 of any calendar year during the term of this Lease, Lessor agrees to
provide to Lessee a reasonable breakdown of the Operating Expenses for the
previous calendar year, at such time as such information is available

Lessee shall, during the Term (to include the calendar years in which this Lease
commences and terminates), pay all taxes assessed against leasehold improvements
made by or for Lessee, and all other sums at any time due from Lessee to Lessor
under this Lease, as additional rent ("Additional Rent") hereunder. Lessee
agrees, on request of Lessor, to furnish Lessor a list of the leasehold
improvements not taxed as personal property and owned by Lessee, together with
the cost therefor, and Lessee agrees to pay Lessor, as Additional Rent, an
amount equal to the taxes assessed against such improvements, computed on the
basis of the cost of such improvements (as adjusted by the equalization of
valuation made by such taxing authority), multiplied by the rate of taxation
against real property in Xxxxxx County, Georgia, for such year.
(h) All sums payable pursuant to the provision of this Section 5 by
Lessee, or which are at the expense of Lessee, are deemed and considered to be
Rent hereunder, and, if not paid, Lessor shall have all the rights and remedies
provided in this Lease, at law or in equity for the non-payment of Rent. All
Rent payable pursuant to the terms of this Section 5 by Lessee to Lessor shall
be paid promptly as and when the same shall become due and payable, without
notice, demand, abatement, deduction or set-off, and shall be paid to such
person or persons and at such locations
62
or addresses as Lessor may from time to time designate in writing.
5. The Lessor will provide a tenant improvement allowance of Seven Dollars
($7.00) per rentable square foot; Fifty Three Thousand Four Hundred and

6. All other terms, conditions and provisions of the Master Lease (not in

give, grant and surrender unto Landlord, its successors and assigns, a
portion of the Premises demised under the Lease which are located in
Xxxxxxxx 000, Xxxxx 000, containing 3,171 square feet, as shown on Exhibit
A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the
"Contraction Space"), and all the rights, usufruct, title and interest of
the Tenant in and to the Contraction Space, effective as of December 31,
1998 (the "Contraction Date"). Effective on the Contraction Date, the
Lease is terminated with respect to the Contraction Space, but the parties
hereto hereby specifically acknowledge and confirm that the Lease shall
remain in full force and effect with respect to the balance of the
Premises, containing 4,460 square feet of rentable area. From and after
the Contraction Date, Tenant shall have no interest in the Contraction
Space. On or before the Contraction Date, Tenant shall vacate the
Contraction Space, and surrender possession of the Contraction Space to
Landlord and deliver the same to Landlord in a broom-clean condition.
Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against
any and all claims, losses and liabilities for damages resulting from the
failure of Lessee
1
67
or of any assignee, sublessee or other occupant claiming by or through
Lessee to surrender possession upon the Contraction Date, including,
without limitation, any claims made by and succeeding lessee, and such
obligations shall survive the termination of the Lease with respect to the
Contraction Space.
TERMINATION FEE/RENT.
A. As a condition to Landlord's willingness to terminate the Lease with
respect to the Contraction Space, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as a
Termination Fee the sum of Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars
($5,000.00) on or before December 31, 1998.
B. Commencing January 1, 1999, the monthly base rental shall be
adjusted to equal $6,504.17 (Six thousand five hundred four and
17/100 dollars).
C. Commencing January 1, 1999, Lessee's Pro-rata Share for Operating
Expense purposes shall be adjusted to equal 2.93%.
3. ERECTION OF DEMISING WALL. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that in order to
effect the contraction of the Premises as set forth herein, Landlord, at no
cost or expense to Tenant, will be required to erect a demising wall between
the Contraction Space and the remaining Premises. Tenant also acknowledges
and agrees that during the period of Landlord's work to erect said demising
wall Tenant shall be occupying the Premises and that noise, dust, relocation
of Tenant's property and other activities associated with such work may be
disruptive to the business operations of Tenant in the Premises.
Nevertheless, Tenant hereby waives and releases any and all claims, causes
of action and actions against Landlord and its agents related to Landlord's
construction of the demising wall, except for any claim against Landlord
caused solely by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its
agents, contractors, or employees. Landlord shall impose upon the contractor
which will be performing the work a requirement that the contractor will
agree to use reasonable efforts to not unreasonably interfere with the
conduct of Tenant's business operations. No rental shall xxxxx as a result
of or arising from Landlord's construction work. Tenant shall, upon notice
from Landlord or Landlord's contractor, permit Landlord or Landlord's
contractor to have access to the Premises as required to effect the
construction of the demising wall and to remove or relocate forthwith, at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, such portion or all of the personal property
belonging to Tenant from such portion of the Premises then being affected by
the construction of the demising wall as Landlord or Landlord's contractor
shall reasonably request in connection with the prosecution of such work.
4. CONTINGENCY. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Landlord's
agreement to effect the contraction of the Premises as described in this
Addendum is expressly contingent upon Landlord's entering into a lease
agreement with New York Life, which is acceptable to Landlord, in its sole
discretion, for the lease by New York Life of the Contraction Space. If
Landlord is unable for any reason, or for no reason, to enter into such
lease agreement with New York Life on or before the Contraction Date, the
2
68
Premises shall not be contracted and Tenant shall not be released from any
of its obligations under the Lease with respect to the Contraction Space
through the remainder of the Term of the Lease. IF LANDLORD AND NEW YORK
LIFE DO NOT ENTER INTO SUCH LEASE AGREEMENT, AND TENANT HAS PAID THE
TERMINATION FEE AS OUTLINED IN ARTICLE 2 HEREIN, LANDLORD SHALL RETURN TO
TENANT THE $5,000 TERMINATION FEE AND THIS TERMINATION AGREEMENT SHALL BE
NULL AND VOID.
5. CONTINUED LIABILITY OF TENANT. Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to the contrary, Landlord specifically reserves unto itself the right to
pursue a claim for nonpayment of, and Tenant shall remain liable for
payment of and agrees to pay, any sums owing under the Lease with respect
to the Contraction Space, including any indemnity obligations of Tenant,
through and including the Contraction Date. All of the obligations of
Tenant set forth in this Section shall survive the termination of the
Lease with respect to the Contraction Space and the surrender of the
Contraction Space.

CONSENT AND AGREEMENT
*CarrAmerica Realty Corporation ("Prime Lessor"), the lessor under the
Prime Lease (the "Prime Lease") set forth in the attached and foregoing sublease
agreement (the "Sublease") between CLS Intermodal, Inc., as sublessor
("Sublessor") and American Artists Film Corporation, as sublessee ("Sublessee"),
does hereby consent to the subleasing of the subleased premises as described in
the Sublease (the "Sublease Premises") by Sublessor to Sublessee pursuant to and
in accordance with the provisions of the Sublease; provided, however, such
consent shall not release Sublessor from the full and faithful performance by
Sublessor of all the terms, conditions and agreements contained in the Prime
Lease and shall not be deemed a waiver or release of any of Sublessor's
covenants, liabilities and obligations to Prime Lessor under the Prime Lease;
and, provided further, that upon a default by Sublessor in the payment of any
base rental, additional rent or other amounts due under the Prime Lease, Prime
Lessor shall have, in addition to its other rights and remedies under the Prime
Lease, the right to collect and receive from Sublessee, upon written demand from
Prime Lessor to Sublessor and Sublessee at the addresses for notices contained
in the Sublease, any rental due and payable under the Sublease by Sublessee to
Sublessor, and any such sums so collected and received shall be applied by Prime
Lessor to any amounts due from Sublessor under the Prime Lease in such order as
Prime Lessor elects, and, in furtherance of the foregoing, Sublessor hereby
assigns to Prime Lessor the rent and other sums due from Sublessee and hereby
authorizes and directs Sublessee to pay such rent directly to Prime Lessor,
provided, however, that until the occurrence of a default under the Prime Lease,
Sublessor shall have the license to continue collecting such rent from
Sublessee; and, provided further, it is agreed that for all purposes Prime
Lessor is not a party to the Sublease. No such collection of rent directly from
Sublessee shall be deemed a waiver of any of Sublessor's covenants contained in
the Prime Lease or the acceptance by Prime Lessor of Sublessee as tenant under
the Prime Lease. The consent by Prime Lessor to the foregoing Sublease shall not
be deemed an approval of any future assignment of the Prime Lease or of the
Sublease or any subsequent subletting of the Sublease Premises or any portion
thereof. Any such future assignment or subletting by Sublessee shall be made
subject to Prime Lessor's prior written consent, and any such future assignment
or subletting by Sublessor shall be made subject to Prime Lessor's prior written
consent. Any such assignment or subletting by either Sublessor or Sublessee (or
each of them) without the prior written consent of Prime Lessor shall be null
and void. No assignment of the Prime Lease or Sublease and no subletting of the
Sublease Premises or any portion thereof shall release Sublessor from any of its
covenants, liabilities, or obligations to Prime Lessor under the Prime Lease. By
consenting to the Sublease, Prime Lessor in no way agrees to perform or to be
obligated to perform any service on behalf of Sublessee under the Sublease, but
shall continue to provide any services to the Sublease Premises in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the Prime Lease. Sublessee shall have no rights
or claims against Primer Lessor, but shall instead look solely to Sublessor for
any such claims. Any and all options, including without limitation, expansion
options, renewal options and rights of first refusal or negotiation, granted
pursuant to the Prime Lease are not assignable and shall be null and void and of
no further force or effect on and after the effective date of the Sublease.
Sublessee agrees by its acceptance of this Consent that Prime Lessor shall have
the right to continue or terminate the Sublease, in Prime Lessor's sole and
absolute discretion, upon any expiration or earlier termination of the Prime
Lease, and Sublessee agrees to recognize and attorn to Prime Lessor in the event
that Prime Lessor elects under such circumstances to continue the Sublease,
Sublessor and Sublessee agree by their acceptance of this Consent that the
Sublease shall not be amended or modified without the prior written consent of
Prime Lessor, and that the Prime Lease remains in full force and effect, without
modification and is binding on Sublessor, as lessee thereunder, and Sublessor
hereby ratifies and affirms the same. Sublessor and Sublessee represent and
warrant to Prime Lessor that (except with respect to Univest Asset Management,
LLC ["Broker"], which broker Sublessor represents has acted as agent solely
*CarrAmerica Realty Corporation (successor to New York Life Insurance Company,
successor to Embassy Row Venture)
73
for Sublessor in connection with the Sublease) no broker, agent, commission
salesperson, or other person has represented either Sublessor or Sublessee in
the negotiations for and procurement of the Sublease and of the Sublease
Premises and that (except with respect to Broker, which shall be paid a
commission by Sublessor pursuant to the terms of a separate written commission
agreement between Sublessor and Broker) no commissions, fees, or compensation of
any kind are due and payable in connection with the Sublease to any broker,
agent, commission salesperson, or other person.* Sublessor and Sublessee hereby
agree to indemnify and hold Prime Lessor harmless from all loss, cost and damage
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) suffered or incurred by
Prime Lessor as a result of a breach by Sublessor or Sublessee of the
representation and warranty contained in the immediately preceding sentence or
as a result of Sublessor's or Sublessee's failure to pay commissions, fees or
compensation due to any broker who represented Sublessor or Sublessee,
respectively, whether or not disclosed. Prime Lessor has required the execution
and delivery of this Consent by Sublessor and Sublessee as a condition to the
execution and delivery of this Consent by Prime Lessor. In the event that this
Consent is not executed and delivered by Prime Lessor, then substantial benefits
that otherwise would have inured to the benefit of Sublessor and Sublessee would
not occur. Accordingly, Sublessor and Sublessee agree that each has received
good and adequate consideration for the execution and delivery of this Consent.
This Consent does not constitute recognition of any deviations, alterations or
substitutions from the terms and conditions of the Prime Lease.
*Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx & Company has represented Sublessee and will be paid a
commission by Sublessor.
