DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Landlord shall have the right, in addition to any other specific rights
reserved elsewhere in this Lease, to change the development plan for the
Building in such manner as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may from time to
time find proper, provided such changes do not unreasonably interfere with
Tenant"s use of the Premises for the purposes permitted by Section 4 hereof.
Landlord shall have the right to make changes to the Building or any lands added
thereto, including but not limited to, construct additional buildings or
improvements and make alterations thereto, build additional stories or any

Landlord shall not exercise any right of Landlord to reduce, interrupt
or cease service of the heating, air conditioning, ventilation, plumbing,
electrical systems, telephone systems, and/or utilities services of the leased
Premises or the Building, without having met with Tenant in advance to advise
Tenant of Landlord"s requirements so that Landlord and Tenant may devise a
procedure for accomplishing Landlord"s goals and eliminate (or minimize to the
greatest extent reasonably possible) the interruption to Tenant"s use,
possession and occupancy of the leased Premises for the purpose of conducting
its business on a continuing basis.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, in the event
Tenant is prevented from conducting business in the Premises and does not
conduct business in the Premises as a direct result of (i) any failure by
Landlord to keep the Building"s, common areas, structural components or water,
sewer and fire suppression systems in good order (exclusive of the failure to
repair damage to such common areas, systems and components which arises out of
any negligent or willful act or omission of Tenant or Tenant"s agents,
representatives, contractors, employees or licensees); (ii) Landlord disrupting
Tenant"s business operations as a result of repairs, maintenance or alterations
undertaken by Landlord; or (iii) Landlord terminating either of the licenses
granted to Tenant pursuant to Section 48 below if such termination does not
result from the failure (beyond any applicable notice and cure period) by Tenant
to perform or satisfy any term, provision, condition or covenant hereunder to be
performed or satisfied by Tenant, then Fixed Minimum Rent shall be
3
4
abated during such period that Tenant continues to be so prevented from
conducting business in the Premises.
7.
INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE
Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord, its
agents, servants, employees and the holder of any deed to secure debt or ground
lessor of and from any loss, reasonable attorney's fees, expenses or claims for
which Landlord is not reimbursed by any insurance maintained or required to be
maintained hereunder (i) occurring in the Premises, unless caused by the
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or
contractors, (ii) arising out of any and all defaults (beyond any applicable
notice and cure period) by Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors under
this Lease or (iii) arising out of any negligent or willful act or omission of
Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors. Landlord agrees to indemnify,
defend and hold harmless Tenant, its agents, servants and employees and its
permitted successors and assigns of and from any loss, reasonable attorney's

defaults (beyond any applicable notice and cure period) by Landlord under this
Lease, or (ii) arising out of any negligent or willful act or omission of
Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors. In no event shall either party
be liable for any consequential damages (including, without limitation, lost
rental income or lost profits) suffered by the other party as a result of any
default hereunder. Tenant agrees that at all times during the term of this Lease
Tenant shall maintain insurance covering the Premises and naming Landlord as an
additional insured, with limits as follows:
(i) Commercial general liability insurance for bodily, personal
injury, and property damage, not less than two million dollars
($2,000,000) Combined Single Limit in the event of any one
occurrence (with a general liability umbrella of not less than
three million dollars ($3,000,000); and
(ii) Worker's compensation and employer's liability insurance covering
all of Tenant's employees working in and about the Premises, with
coverage limits not less than the minimum limits allowable under
all applicable laws.
(iii) Property insurance providing 100% replacement cost coverage for
Tenant's leasehold improvements, equipment, inventory, and other
personal property.
Tenant shall provide Landlord with a certificate of such insurance
coverage (with a copy of the endorsements naming Landlord as an additional
insured being attached), which certificate shall bear an endorsement stating
that the insurer shall notify Landlord not less than ten (10) days in advance of
any material modification or cancellation thereof. Any insurance required to be
carried by Tenant hereunder will be issued through insurance carriers licensed
to do business in Georgia with a rating of Best"s Insurance Guide A/VIII and/or
Standard & Poor Insurance Solvency Review A-, or better.
Tenant shall have the right to maintain the required liability insurance
in the form of a blanket policy covering other locations of Tenant in addition
to the Premises; provided, however, that (i) Tenant shall provide Landlord with
a certificate of insurance specifically naming the location of the Premises and
naming Landlord as required in this Section, the limits of which coverage are to
be in the amounts set forth in this Section, and (ii) claims made as to other
locations covered by such blanket policy shall not affect coverage as to the
Premises.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant or any
successor to Tenant or sublessee or assignee of Tenant shall have the right to
self-insure all or any part of any of said insurance coverages, in Tenant's sole
discretion, so long as such self-insuring party maintains a tangible net worth
of not less than Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000.00), as determined
pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles. In the event that Tenant
elects to self-insure all or any part of any risk that would be insured under
the policies and limits described above, and an event occurs where insurance
proceeds would
4
5
have been available but for the election to self-insure, Tenant shall
immediately make funds available to the same extent that they would have been
available had such insurance policy been carried.
Landlord agrees to maintain, throughout the term of the Lease, property
insurance at least equal to eighty percent (80%) of the full replacement cost of
the Building, exclusive of any improvements thereto by any tenants.
Landlord and Tenant each hereby release and relieve the other, and waive
their entire right of recovery against the other for loss or damage arising out
of or incident to the perils insured against, or required to be insured against
pursuant to the terms hereof, which perils occur in, or about the Premises or
Building, whether due to the negligence of Landlord or Tenant, or their agents,
employees, contractors, and/or invitees. Landlord and Tenant shall, upon
obtaining the policies of insurance required, give notice to the insurance
carrier or carriers that the foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation is contained
in this Lease.

the Building"s water, sewer, electrical, heating, plumbing, fire suppression,
ventilation and air-conditioning systems located entirely within or exclusively

6
Premises, in good order, condition and repair. Trash will be disposed of by
Tenant. All parts of the interior of the Premises shall be painted, wallpapered,
varnished or otherwise redecorated at Tenant"s own expense and at Tenant"s
discretion. Tenant agrees to return the Premises to Landlord at the expiration
or earlier termination of this Lease in good condition and repair as when first
received, normal wear and tear , damage from casualty, and condemnation and
repairs which are Landlord's obligation to make pursuant to the terms and
conditions of this Lease excepted.
Tenant shall make no alterations, additions, or improvements
(collectively, "Alterations") to the Premises, except repairs and replacements
of trade fixtures or equipment with new fixtures or equipment of equal or
greater value, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and Landlord may
impose, as a condition of such consent, such requirements as are reasonable
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, requirements as to
the manner in which, the time or times at which such work shall be done. Tenant
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and
all claims from mechanics or material men or other liens in connection with any
Alterations made by or on behalf of Tenant, and Tenant will, if required by
Landlord, furnish such waiver or waivers of lien in form satisfactory to
Landlord, as Landlord may require in connection with making Alterations to the
Premises. Tenant will promptly bond or discharge any liens which may be filed in
connection with Alterations, additions, repairs, or improvements to the Premises
within thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord. Tenant shall be
responsible for complying with all applicable laws, codes and ordinances when

in installing and operating its equipment (or the equipment of any customer or
co-locator in the Premises), Tenant shall not disturb or interfere (whether by

operations of any other tenant in the Building.
10.
RIGHT TO RELOCATE
Intentionally Deleted
11.
UTILITIES
Electricity will be directly metered and billed by the utility provider
to Tenant at Tenant"s expense. Landlord shall furnish water, at Landlord"s
expense for use in Tenant"s restroom (s) and lighting, for common corridor
areas. Tenant"s electrical power requirements are 277/480 volt, 4-wire, 3 phase,
800 AMPs service (the "Promised Usage"). Landlord, at Landlord's sole cost and
expense, shall construct a power vault to deliver the Promised Usage to the
Premises, 24 hours per day, seven days per week. If the applicable utility
provider (the "Utility Provider") requires that the users of such power vault
use no less than a specified amount of power (the "Minimum Power Usage"), and
the Tenant"s actual usage of power (which actual usage of power shall be
calculated by averaging Tenant's actual usage of power for the first three
months of 2001) is less than the Promised Usage, Tenant shall pay a share of any
costs or fees imposed upon Landlord by the Utility Provider as a result of not
attaining the Minimum Power Usage, which share shall be based upon the following
formula: 9% x (1-(Tenant"s actual power usage/60% of Promised Usage)) x "the
amount of any such cost of fees imposed upon Landlord"; provided, however,
Tenant's share of such costs shall not exceed $34,470.00. Tenant shall pay to
Landlord any sums required under this Section as additional rent hereunder
within thirty
6
7
(30) days of demand from Landlord. Tenant shall have the option, and at its sole
cost and expense, to install a transformer, tying into the Property"s bus duct
system to obtain the electrical supply of the Premises (such installation and
connection to the Base Building Bus Duct shall require Landlord"s approval) and
to separately meter Tenant"s electrical power usage at the Premises. If Tenant
determines that the Building"s electrical system does not have sufficient
capacity to accommodate Tenant"s needs, Tenant at its sole cost and expense may
coordinate directly with the Utility Provider to provide additional power to the
Premises. The location and manner of installation of any equipment or facilities
to provide such additional power shall be subject to Landlord"s approval. Tenant
shall contract directly with the Utility Provider to pay for such additional
power. If Tenant requires additional space in the Building in order to obtain
such additional power, Landlord agrees to negotiate in good faith to lease
additional space, if available, to Tenant.
12.
ANTENNAE
Except as expressly set forth in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant
shall have no right to go upon, occupy or use all or any portion of the roof of
the Building for any purpose. All of such rights are hereby reserved by and to
Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord grants Tenant the right, in
common with Landlord and any other tenants of the Building, to install, operate
and maintain, at Tenant's sole expense and risk and subject to any applicable
laws, regulations, codes or ordinances, one (1) global positioning system (GPS)
antenna (hereinafter referred to as the "Antennae Equipment") within the portion
of the Premises which is located on the roof of the Building, so long as (a)
such Antennae Equipment is no taller than 3 feet and requires no more than one
2" conduit from such base site cabinets to the telecommunication entrance of the
Building or to the Premises, (b) Landlord reasonably determines that space is
available for such Antennae Equipment, and (c) Tenant installs such Antennae
Equipment on or before December 31, 2000. Upon installing any Antennae
Equipment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional $500 per month in fixed
minimum rent. Any such installation shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable
approval of the size, design, installation and appearance of the Antennae
Equipment. Any Antennae Equipment installed by Tenant shall be erected so as not
to interfere with the operation of any other antennae, satellite dish or other
similar equipment then existing on the roof. Tenant shall obtain all necessary
municipal, state and federal permits and authorizations required to install,
maintain and operate the Antennae Equipment and pay any charges levied by
government agencies with respect thereto. At the conclusion of the term of this
Lease, Tenant shall remove the Antennae Equipment and surrender and restore the
space occupied thereby to Landlord in as good as condition as when entered,
except for loss or damage resulting from casualty, condemnation, Act of God or
ordinary wear and tear. Prior to installing or placing any Antennae Equipment on
the roof, Tenant shall submit plans and specifications to Landlord for
Landlord"s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. If Landlord fails to disapprove of such plans and
specifications within ten (10) days of receipt, Landlord shall be deemed to have
approved such plans and specifications. No approval by Landlord of any such
plans and specifications shall constitute any representation or warranty by
Landlord of any kind or nature.
13.
SIGNS
All rights to advertise on the Premises or place signs on the exterior thereof
shall be reserved to Landlord, and Tenant may not advertise or place signs on
the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be
granted or withheld in Landlord's sole discretion.
14.
DEFAULT
Should Tenant's interest herein, or any part thereof, be assigned or transferred
either voluntarily or by operation of law (except as expressly permitted
herein), including, without limitation, filing of a petition by or against
7
8
Tenant under any insolvency or bankruptcy law which, as to involuntary
insolvency or bankruptcy filings only, are not dismissed within ninety (90) days
of filing; or if Tenant should make a general assignment or any assignment for
the benefit of its creditors; or if Tenant should, after written notice, fail to
remedy any default (i) in the payment of any sum of money due under this Lease
for ten (10) days, or (ii) in the keeping of any other term, covenant, or
condition herein for thirty (30) days (provided, if such failure cannot by its
nature be cured within such 30 day period, Tenant shall have a reasonable period
of time not to exceed 120 days in order to complete such cure so long as Tenant
promptly commences such cure within such 30 day period and thereafter diligently
prosecutes such cure to completion) then, in any of such events, Landlord shall
have the right, at its option, in addition to any other remedy Landlord may have
hereunder or by operation of law, without any further demand or notice, to
re-enter the Premises and eject all persons therefrom, using all force which is
reasonably necessary (other than locking Tenant out) to do so, and either (a)
declare this Lease at an end, in which event Tenant shall immediately pay
Landlord a sum of money equal to the amount, if any, by which the then cash
value (determined using a discount rate of seven percent (7%) per annum) of the
Fixed Minimum Rent reserved hereunder for the balance of the term of this Lease
exceeds the then cash reasonable rental value of the Premises for the balance of
said, term, or (b) without terminating this Lease may re-let the Premises, or
any part thereof, as the agent and for the account of Tenant upon such terms and
conditions as Landlord may deem advisable, in which event the rent received on
such re-letting shall be applied first to the expense of such re-letting,
including necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, any real estate
commissions paid, and all other expenses of preparing the Premises for occupancy
by the new tenant, and thereafter toward payment of all sums due or to become
due hereunder. If a sufficient sum shall not be thus realized to pay all sums
owing by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay Landlord any deficiency monthly,
rental stipulated in this Lease in previous or subsequent months, and Landlord
may bring an action therefor as such monthly deficiency shall arise. Any such
re-entry shall be allowed by Tenant without let or hindrance, and Landlord shall
not be liable in damages for any such re-entry, or guilty of trespass or
forcible entry provided it has not used willful misconduct. Landlord agrees to
use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises at fair market rental rates and to
otherwise mitigate any damages arising out of a default (beyond any applicable
notice and cure period) on the part of Tenant; provided, however, that (i)
Landlord shall have no obligation to treat preferentially the Premises compared
to other premises Landlord has available for leasing within the Building or in
other properties owned or managed by Landlord; (ii) Landlord shall not be
obligated to expend any efforts or any monies beyond those Landlord would expend
in the ordinary course of leasing space within the Building; and (iii) in
evaluating a prospective reletting of the Premises, the term, rental, use and
the reputation, experience and financial standing of prospective tenants are
factors which Landlord may properly consider.
15.
COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS
Tenant agrees that it shall promptly comply at its sole cost with all
requirements of any legally constituted public authority made necessary by
reason of Tenant's specific use or manner of use of the Premises. Landlord
agrees promptly to comply at its sole cost with any such requirements if not
made necessary by reason of Tenant's specific use or manner of use of the
Premises.
16.
LATE DELIVERY
If Landlord is prevented by law or through no fault of Landlord from
giving possession of the Premises on the date herein provided, there shall be no
liability for damages of any kind resulting from such failure.
Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before
December 15, 1999. If Landlord's Work (as hereinafter defined) is not
substantially completed on or before December 15, 1999, or Landlord is otherwise
unable to deliver possession of the Premises on such date for any reason, then
Tenant shall be entitled to a rent abatement commencing on the Rent Commencement
Date, in an amount equal to one day of rent for each day Landlord's Work is not
substantially completed or possession is not delivered past
8
9
December 15, 1999; provided further, however, that if Landlord's Work is not
completed on or before January 31, 2000, Tenant may terminate all of its
obligations under this Lease. For purposes hereof, the Landlord's Work is
"substantially complete" if all portions of Landlord's Work are complete except
for such items which are of an immaterial nature and do not unreasonably
interfere with Tenant's work during the early occupancy period.
17.
RE-LEASING
Landlord may enter the Premises at reasonable times and with reasonable
notice to exhibit the same to prospective purchasers or lenders or, during the
last twelve months of the Lease term, to prospective tenants, and to make
repairs required of Landlord under the terms hereof, and to make repairs to
Landlord's adjoining property. If Landlord enters the Premises for purposes of
making repairs or performing maintenance, Landlord will use commercially
reasonable efforts not to disrupt the operation of Tenant's business in the
Premises.
18.
EARLY TERMINATION
No termination of this Lease prior to the normal expiration thereof,
shall affect Landlord's right to collect rent which has accrued for the period
prior to termination.
19.
CONDITION OF PREMISES AT TIME OF DELIVERY
Landlord shall deliver to Tenant possession of the Premises
substantially in their condition as of the date hereof, and Tenant shall accept
possession of the Premises in such condition, except as otherwise provided
herein.
20.
ASSIGNMENT
Except as otherwise specified in this Section 20, Tenant shall not
sublet said Premises or any part thereof nor assign this Lease, without in each
case the prior written consent of Landlord not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. In determining the reasonableness of Landlord"s decision
to withhold or grant its consent to any proposed assignment or sublease,
Landlord may take into consideration all relevant factors surrounding the
proposed assignment or sublease, including, without limitation, the following:
1. The business reputation of the proposed subtenant or assignee and
its officers or directors.
2. The nature of the business and the proposed use of the Premises
by the proposed subtenant or assignee in relation to
restrictions, if any, contained in other leases or agreements
affecting the Building.
3. The proposed subtenant or assignee shall not be a tenant of other
space in the Building or a party with whom Landlord is then
negotiating regarding the lease of space in the Building.
4. The financial condition of the proposed subtenant or assignee.
Any transfer of this Lease from Tenant by merger, consolidation,
liquidation, or otherwise by operation of law shall constitute an assignment for
the purpose of this Lease and, except as otherwise specified in this Section 20,
shall require the written consent of the Landlord. Except as otherwise specified
in this Section 20, Tenant shall not permit any business to be operated in or
from the Premises by any concessionaire or licensee without the prior written
consent of Landlord. In the event that Tenant shall seek Landlord's permission
to assign this Lease or sublet the Premises, Tenant shall provide to Landlord
the name, address and
9
10
financial statement of the proposed assignee or sub-lessee and such other
information concerning such proposed assignee or sub-lessee as Landlord may
require. It shall be a condition to any consent by Landlord to an assignment or
subletting that Tenant shall accompany such request with a certified check in
the amount of One Thousand and Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500.00) to reimburse
Landlord for administrative and legal expense for the review and preparation of
necessary documents. Any consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting, or
to the operation by a concessionaire or licensee, shall not constitute a waiver
of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting, or
operation by a concessionaire or licensee. In the event that Tenant shall at any
time, during the term of the Lease, sublet all or any part of said Premises or
assign this Lease, either with the consent of Landlord as hereinbefore provided
or without the consent of Landlord, then, in such event, it is hereby mutually
agreed that Tenant shall nevertheless remain fully liable under all of the
terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. If this Lease is assigned, or if
the Premises or any part thereof is subleased or occupied by any person or
entity other than Tenant or Tenant"s permitted assigns, Landlord may upon a
monetary default by Tenant, collect from assignee, sub-lessee or occupant any
rent or other charges payable by Tenant under this lease, and apply the amount
collected to the rent and other charges herein reserved, but such collection by
Landlord shall not be deemed as acceptance of the assignee, sub-lessee or
occupant as a tenant nor release of Tenant from the performance by Tenant under
this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to assign
this Lease or sublet the Premises or any potion thereof to an Affiliate (as
hereinafter defined) without the consent of Landlord. Tenant shall promptly
notify Landlord of any such assignment or subletting, and no such assignment or

entity has a tangible net worth at the time of such assignment or subletting
which is equal to or greater than the net worth of Tenant as of the date hereof
and (iii) any person or entity which acquires all or substantially all of the
assets of Tenant, if such acquiring person or entity has a tangible net worth at
the time of such assignment subletting which is equal to or greater than the net
worth of Tenant as of the date hereof. For purposes hereof, a person or entity
"controls" another person or entity if such person or entity owns more than
fifty percent (50%) of the ownership, partnership or beneficial interests of the
other person or entity. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, none of the following, or any changes, assignments or transfers
resulting from the following, shall require Landlord"s prior written consent,
the payment by Tenant of any fees or charges of any kind, or give rise to any
right of Landlord to cancel or recapture all or any part of the Premises:

of stock or other ownership interests are, directly or indirectly, sold
on a national stock exchange or an inter-dealer quotation system; and in

by any such casualties, rental shall xxxxx in such proportion as use of the
Premises has been destroyed, and Landlord shall restore the Premises to
substantially the same condition as before such damage as speedily as

any present or future estate of Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord
all its rights, title and interest to any such award. Tenant shall have the

the "Premises" for purposes of Sections 3(b)-(d), 7, 14, 15, 17, 19, 21, 22, 24,
