b. Paragraph
3. Reimbursement for Increases
in Operating Costs.
(i) On
and after January 1, 2010, Tenant, in addition to Monthly Rental payable with
respect to the Premises, shall pay, as additional rental, Tenant’s Share of
increases in the Operating Costs for any calendar year during the Term of the
Lease, as modified hereby (commencing with calendar year 2010), over the
"Initial Operating Costs," which shall be the actual Operating Costs incurred by
Landlord in calendar year 2009, as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the
Lease.
(ii) Notwithstanding
anything in the Lease, as amended hereby, to the contrary, for purposes of
determining Tenant's Share of Operating Costs for any calendar year during the
Term of the Lease, from and after January 1, 2010, Operating Costs shall not
include the amount by which "controllable" Operating Costs for such calendar
year exceed the product of such "controllable" Operating Costs for calendar year
2009 multiplied by 106% compounded annually from calendar year 2009. By way of
illustration and not limitation, the "cap" on "controllable" Operating Costs for
purposes of determining Tenant's contribution thereto, in 2011 would be 1.1236
times the comparable "controllable" Operating Costs for calendar year 2009, and
in 2012 would be 1.191 times the comparable "controllable" Operating Costs for
calendar year 2009. For the purposes of this subparagraph, "controllable"
Operating Costs shall mean all Operating Costs within the reasonable control of
Landlord, but specifically does not include taxes, utilities, insurance costs,
capital expenditures, costs to the extent directly affected by an increase in
the minimum wage (such as wage increases for non-minimum wage earners, such as
security guards, resulting from minimum wage increases) and reasonable costs
incurred to comply with any legal requirements enacted after October 1,
2008.
c. Subparagraph 3 (h).
Tenant's Audit
Rights. On and after October 1, 2008, the first five (5)
sentences of subparagraph 3(h) of the Lease shall be deleted in their entirety,
and the following new sentences shall be inserted in lieu thereof:
"Tenant
shall have the right to inspect Landlord's books and records pertaining to
Operating Costs by delivering written notice to Landlord within two hundred
seventy (270) days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's Statement for the prior
calendar year (the "Inspection Notice"). Upon receipt of the Inspection Notice,
Landlord shall instruct its property manager at the Building to meet with a
designated employee of Tenant ("Tenant's Representative") to review Landlord's
books and records pertaining to Operating Costs. Tenant shall conduct and
complete such inspection with notice of the results thereof delivered to
Landlord within sixty (60) days after delivery of Tenant's Inspection
Notice. If Tenant does not complete such inspection within such sixty
(60) day period, Tenant rights under this subparagraph 3(h) to inspect and audit
Landlord's books and records for the calendar year in question shall terminate
and be of no further force or effect. If, after such inspection, Tenant disputes
any such Operating Costs, Tenant shall specifically identify such disputed
Operating Costs in writing to Landlord. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to
resolve such dispute within sixty (60) days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's
notice of disputed items, then Tenant shall notify Landlord if it wishes to
employ an independent, reputable certified public accounting firm having at
least ten (10) years experience in auditing operating costs incurred in office
buildings in Atlanta, Georgia, and in no event compensated on a contingent fee
or bonus basis ("Acceptable Accountants"), to audit Landlords books and records
for the Buildings with respect to the disputed items. If Tenant does not so
notify Landlord within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant's right under this
subparagraph 3(h) to audit Landlord's books and records for the calendar year in
question shall terminate and be of no further force or effect."
c. Paragraph 29. Parking
Arrangements. On and after October 1, 2008, the parking ratio
for unreserved parking spaces set forth in the first (1st) sentence of Paragraph
29 of the Lease shall be amended to be 4.0 unreserved parking spaces per 1,000
rentable square feet and the third (3rd)
grammatical sentence of said Paragraph 29 of the Lease shall be deleted in its
entirety, and the following new sentences shall be inserted at the end of
Paragraph 29:
"As part
of and not in addition to the ratio of unreserved parking spaces provided
hereinabove, Landlord shall provide a total of fifteen (15) reserved monthly
parking spaces for use by Tenant in the parking facility serving the Building
(hereinafter referred to as the "Garage"), provided that Landlord shall have the
right, at any time, in Landlord's sole discretion, to relocate such spaces
within the Garage. Such parking spaces shall be provided to Tenant at
the rate of Fifty and No/100 Dollars ($50.00) per space per month, as said rate
may be adjusted from time to time by Landlord or by the operators of the Garage
at their discretion; provided that such rate is consistent with reserved monthly
parking rates in the Project; and, provided further, however, that eleven (11)
of such monthly reserved parking spaces shall be provided to Tenant during the
Lease Term, as extended hereby, free of charge. If Tenant elects to
take the four (4) reserved monthly spaces (provided that such reserved monthly
parking spaces are available), Tenant shall pay such monthly charges to Landlord
or to the operators of the Garage, as Landlord directs, on or before the first
(1st) day of each calendar month throughout the Lease Term, as extended hereby,
and Tenant shall abide by and comply with any and all rules and regulations
promulgated by Landlord or the operators of the Garage with respect to such
parking spaces. If Tenant fails to timely pay any parking charges, Landlord
shall have the right to revoke Tenant's rights to any such Tenant's parking
spaces for which Tenant failed to pay the parking fee. Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts (which efforts shall not include the expenditure of funds) to
enforce the reservation of such reserved spaces. If Tenant does not elect to
take or voluntarily releases its rights to all or any one of the four (4) paid
reserved parking spaces during the Term of the Lease, as extended hereby, then
Tenant may, at its option, within ninety (90) days after said release, request
that Landlord reinstate Tenant's rights to all or any one of Tenant's paid
reserved parking spaces released by Tenant, and Landlord shall make reasonable
efforts to provide such paid reserved parking spaces to Tenant at the prevailing
monthly parking rates for such spaces; provided, however, that the provision of
such paid reserved parking spaces shall be subject to availability, pursuant to
both present and future leases and other contractual obligations of Landlord.
The parking spaces described in this Paragraph 29, and Tenant's rights thereto,
shall not be assignable or transferable by Tenant."
d. Paragraph 39. Exculpation of
Landlord. On and after October 1, 2008, the Lease is hereby
amended by deleting Paragraph 39, Exculpation of Landlord, of the Original Lease
in its entirety, and by inserting the following new Paragraph 39 in lieu
thereof:
"39.
|
EXCULPATION OF
LANDLORD.
|
|
TENANT
AGREES THAT TENANT SHALL LOOK SOLELY TO LANDLORD'S INTEREST IN THE
BUILDING, THE PROPERTY AND LANDLORD'S PERSONAL PROPERTY USED IN CONNECTION
THEREWITH ("LANDLORD'S PERSONAL PROPERTY") FOR THE SATISFACTION OF ANY
CLAIM, JUDGMENT OR DECREE AGAINST LANDLORD BASED UPON ANY DEFAULT
HEREUNDER (A "TENANT CLAIM"), AND NO OTHER PROPERTY OR ASSETS OF LANDLORD,
ITS SUCCESSOR OR ASSIGNS, OR ANY PARTNER, MEMBER, MANAGER, SHAREHOLDER OR
OTHER BENEFICIAL OWNER OF ANY INTEREST IN LANDLORD, OR ANY PARTNER,
MEMBER, MANAGER, SHAREHOLDER OR OTHER BENEFICIAL OWNER OF ANY SUCH
BENEFICIAL OWNER, SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE LEVY, EXECUTION OR OTHER
ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURE FOR THE SATISFACTION OF ANY SUCH TENANT CLAIM. FOR
PURPOSES OF THIS PARAGRAPH, AND SUBJECT TO THE EXCEPTIONS SET FORTH BELOW,
"INTEREST IN THE BUILDING, THE PROPERTY AND LANDLORD'S PERSONAL PROPERTY"
SHALL MEAN, AND TENANT MAY SATISFY ANY TENANT CLAIM FROM (I) LANDLORD'S
RIGHT, TITLE AND INTEREST IN THE BUILDING, THE PROPERTY AND LANDLORD'S
PERSONAL PROPERTY, INCLUDING NET RENTAL INCOME (AFTER DEDUCTING ALL
OPERATING COSTS OF THE BUILDING INCLUDING PAYMENT OF ANY MORTGAGE) AND NET
PROCEEDS FROM A SALE RECEIVED BY LANDLORD AFTER THE DATE LANDLORD HAS BEEN
FOUND LIABLE FOR SUCH TENANT CLAIM BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION
AND THE SAME IS NOT APPEALABLE BY LANDLORD ("CLAIM DATE"), (II) ANY NET
INSURANCE OR CONDEMNATION PROCEEDS RECEIVED BY LANDLORD BECAUSE OF DAMAGE
OR CONDEMNATION TO OR OF THE BUILDING, THE PROPERTY AND LANDLORD'S
PERSONAL PROPERTY AFTER THE CLAIM DATE, AND (III) LANDLORD'S RIGHT, TITLE
AND INTEREST IN ANY GROUND LEASE, OR MASTER LEASE OR OTHER LEASE OF THE
BUILDING HAVING LANDLORD AS THE TENANT THEREUNDER. NOTHING IN THIS
PARAGRAPH SHALL BE INTERPRETED TO MEAN THAT TENANT CANNOT BE AWARDED
SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. NO HOLDER OR BENEFICIARY OF ANY
MORTGAGE OR DEED TO SECURE DEBT ON ANY PART OF THE PROPERTY SHALL HAVE ANY
LIABILITY TO TENANT HEREUNDER FOR ANY DEFAULT OF LANDLORD UNLESS ANY
WRITTEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN TENANT AND SUCH HOLDER OR BENEFICIARY SHALL
PROVIDE OTHERWISE. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS PARAGRAPH, THE "NET PROCEEDS"
FROM A SALE OR OF INSURANCE OR CONDEMNATION SHALL MEAN THE GROSS PROCEEDS
RECEIVED BY LANDLORD, LESS IN EACH INSTANCE THE REASONABLE COSTS AND
EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ATTORNEY'S FEES AND EXPENSES)
PAID OR INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH COLLECTION OF SUCH PROCEEDS, AND LESS
ANY AMOUNT APPLIED TO ANY INDEBTEDNESS ENCUMBERING THE PROPERTY OR
BUILDING OR (IN THE CASE OF INSURANCE OR CONDEMNATION PROCEEDS) THE
RESTORATION OR REPAIR OF THE PROPERTY, BUILDING OR PREMISES. IF THE
PROPERTY IS SOLD DURING THE PENDENCY OF A TENANT CLAIM, TENANT SHALL HAVE
THE RIGHT TO LOOK TO THE NEW LANDLORD'S INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY AS IT
EXISTS AT THE TIME OF THE JUDGMENT. LANDLORD AGREES THAT AS A CONDITION
PRECEDENT TO THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE RELEASE IN FAVOR OF LANDLORD SET
FORTH ABOVE WITH RESPECT TO ANY TENANT CLAIM WHICH ORIGINATES FROM EVENTS
OR CIRCUMSTANCES OCCURRING PRIOR TO A SALE OR TRANSFER OF THE PROPERTY BUT
WHICH HAS NOT BEEN REDUCED TO JUDGMENT PRIOR TO SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER,
LANDLORD WILL CAUSE THE PURCHASER OR TRANSFEREE OF THE PROPERTY TO ASSUME
LANDLORD'S LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ALL OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF
LANDLORD ACCRUING UNDER THE LEASE PRIOR TO THE DATE OF
TRANSFER."
|
e. Patriot
Act. On and after October 1, 2008, the Lease is hereby
amended by inserting the following new Paragraph 47 at the end
thereof:
"47. PATRIOT
ACT.
Tenant
(which for this purpose includes its partners, members, principal stockholders
and any other constituent entities (i) has not been designated as a
"specifically designated national and blocked person" on the most current list
published by the U.S. Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control at
its official website, <xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/xxxx/x00xxx.xxx>
or at any replacement website or other replacement official publication of such
list; (ii) is currently in compliance with and will at all times during the term
of the Lease (including any extension thereof) remain in compliance with the
regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control of the Department of the
Treasury and any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001,
Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who
Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action
relating thereto; and (iii) has not used and will not use funds from
illegal activities for any payment made under the Lease."
4. Tenant
Improvements.
a. Tenant
accepts the Premises in its "AS IS, WHERE IS" condition, "WITH ALL FAULTS" and
without any warranties or representations whatsoever, and Landlord shall have no
obligation to perform any work with respect to the Premises, or to provide any
allowances with respect thereto, except as otherwise hereinafter expressly
provided in this Paragraph 4. Any additions, alterations, improvements or
refurbishment to the Premises, such as cabinets, built-ins, telecommunications
equipment and related wiring, painting, carpeting and floor covering installed
in the Premises and the installation of Tenant's Building standard suite signage
(collectively "Tenant Improvements"), shall be performed subject to and in
accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 4 and Exhibit B-3, attached
hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Tenant acknowledges that the
Premises were previously improved for occupancy, and all improvements existing
on October 1, 2008 shall be left in place by Landlord and shall be available for
reuse or shall be demolished by Tenant as part of the total cost of the Tenant
Improvements to the Premises for which Tenant is responsible under the Lease and
this Third Amendment. Landlord shall provide an allowance (the "Allowance") to
Tenant for the purpose of paying a portion of the Tenant Improvement Costs (as
defined in Exhibit B-3)
respecting the Premises in the amount of One Million One Hundred Fifty-Nine
Thousand Eight Hundred Twenty and No/100 Dollars ($1,159,820.00) in total.
Landlord agrees to contribute the Allowance toward the Tenant Improvement Costs
(as defined in Exhibit
B-3) and Tenant's Work in accordance with the provisions of
Section 5.01 of said Exhibit B-3 (the
Tenant Improvement Costs shall include, without limitation, the space designer,
architect, engineer, interior design and other professionals and design
specialists fees incurred by Landlord or Tenant in connection with the Tenant
Improvements, any project-management related expenses, and Landlord's
construction supervision fee). If the entire Allowance is not exhausted in
constructing the Tenant Improvements on or before September 30, 2010, then the
unused and remaining portion not to exceed Three Hundred Forty-Seven Thousand
Nine Hundred Forty-Six and No/100 Dollars ($347,946.00) may be used by Tenant as
a credit against Monthly Rental next coming due and payable under the Lease, as
amended hereby, after completion of the Tenant Improvements; provided, however,
that Tenant may utilize such portion of the Allowance not to exceed Three
Hundred Forty-Seven Thousand Nine Hundred Forty-Six and No/100 Dollars
($347,946.00) as a credit against Monthly Rent next coming due and payable under
the Lease until exhausted at any time after January 1, 2009 without regard to
completion of construction of the Tenant Improvements.
b. Notwithstanding
anything in subparagraph 4.a. above to the contrary, Tenant shall have the
one-time right and option to request that Landlord perform an inspection of the
HVAC system serving the Premises by providing Landlord with written notice of
such election on or before January 1, 2010. Within sixty (60) days after receipt
of Tenant's written notice requesting such inspection (provided, however, that
such 60-day period may be extended as a result of casualty to the Premises or
the HVAC system or rapid changes in the environment for a reasonable period of
time to allow the HVAC system to equilibrate to the environment or to repair any
such casualty), Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, contract with an
independent, licensed third-party engineer (i) to perform an inspection of the
HVAC system serving the Premises to determine if said HVAC system is maintaining
levels of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, airborne particulates and relative
humidity in the Premises within the levels or acceptable deviations set forth in
Standard 62.1-2004 published by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating,
and Air Conditioning Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE) (the "Air Quality Standards") and
(ii) to visually inspect the Premises for mold resulting from roof leaks. If it
is determined by such inspection that the HVAC system serving the Premises is
not maintaining acceptable indoor air quality pursuant to such Air Quality
Standards or that mold is visible in the Premises and same was not caused by
Tenant or persons acting by, under or through Tenant (in which case Tenant shall
be responsible for the costs and expenses associated with the remediation
described hereinbelow), then Landlord, at Landlord's sole cost and expense,
shall (i) if the air quality does not meet the Air Quality Standards, undertake
reasonable measures to bring the air quality within the Premises into
substantial compliance with the Air Quality Standards and (ii) if mold is
visible in the Premises, remove such mold, within the time frames and parameters
required by applicable law and, if no laws apply, within a reasonable period of
time. Tenant shall use reasonable good faith efforts to cooperate with Landlord
in the performance of any such remediation. Tenant further acknowledges and
agrees that the air quality in the Premises may be caused to fall below the Air
Quality Standards as a result of, among other things, Tenant's failure to
maintain the occupancy levels set forth in the Lease and any impact on the air
quality within the Premises resulting therefrom shall be deemed to be caused by
Tenant.
5. Deleted
Provisions. Effective as October 1, 2008, the following
provisions shall be deleted in their entirety:
a. Special
Stipulation No. 3 of the Original Lease ("Renewal Option");
b. Special
Stipulation No. 5 of the Original Lease ("Expansion Right");
c. Special
Stipulation No. 6 of the Original Lease ("Early Termination
Right");
d. Paragraph
4 of the Second Amendment ("First Offer Allowance"); and
e. Paragraph
6 of the Second Amendment ("Tenant's Early Termination Right").
6. Contraction
Option. Landlord grants
Tenant the one-time right to contract the Premises during the Term of the Lease,
as extended hereby (the "Contraction Option"), subject to and accordance with
the following terms and conditions:
a.
|
Provided
Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any applicable notice and
cure periods, Tenant shall have the one-time right by delivering written
notice (the "Contraction Notice") to Landlord on or before June 30,
2009 (the
"Contraction Notice Deadline") to return possession of that certain space
known as Suite 700 having eight thousand nine hundred ninety-six (8,996)
rentable square feet and more particularly shown as "Suite 700" on Exhibit C-3
attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference ("Suite 700").
This Contraction Option shall be applicable to the entire portion of Suite
700 and may only be exercised with respect to the entire portion of Suite
700.
|
b.
|
As a condition precedent to any
release of Suite 700 pursuant to the provisions of this Xxxxxxxxx 0,
Xxxxxx must have delivered to Landlord, together with its Contraction
Notice, a contraction payment in the amount of Five Hundred Thousand Three
Hundred Eighty-Four and 41/100 Dollars ($589,384.41) in readily available
U.S. funds (the "Contraction Payment"). Failure by Tenant to deliver the
Contraction Notice (accompanied by payment of such Contraction Payment) on
or before the Contraction Notice Deadline shall mean that Tenant shall
have waived Tenant's right to release Suite 700 pursuant to this Paragraph
6.
|
c.
|
If Tenant duly and timely
delivers the Contraction Notice to Landlord, together with the
Cancellation Payment, on or before the Contraction Notice Deadline, such
contraction shall be effective as of December 31, 2009 (the "Release
Date").
|
d.
|
If
Tenant duly and timely delivers the Contraction Notice, together with the
Contraction Payment, then from and after the Release Date, (i) all
references in the Lease to the "Premises" shall be deemed to refer to the
Premises, as contracted, (ii) Landlord and Tenant shall account between
themselves for all Monthly Rental, additional rental and other charges as
provided for in the Lease with respect to Suite 700, (iii) Tenant shall have
no further rights or obligations arising out of or related to the Lease
with respect to Suite 700, except those that by their express terms
survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease, and (iv) Suite
700 shall be released from the
Lease.
|
e.
|
Tenant
shall surrender Suite 700 to Landlord in accordance with the terms and
provisions therefor set forth in the Lease on or before the Release Date,
the same as if the Release Date were the Expiration Date of the Term of
the Lease with respect to Suite 700. Thereafter, Tenant shall have no
further right, claim or interest with respect to Suite 700 and shall
remove all its equipment and property therefrom. Any property not removed
prior to the Release Date shall be deemed abandoned, and Landlord shall be
authorized to retain such property, or any portion thereof, as Landlord's
own property or to dispose of such property in any manner Landlord deems
appropriate, in Landlord's sole discretion. Tenant shall remain liable for
any and all cost relating to any removal or disposition of any such
property and releases Landlord of any and all liability in connection
therewith. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has relied and will rely on
Tenant's covenants set forth in this subparagraph in entering into a new
lease with a third party with respect to Suite 700 and in performing
Landlord's obligations under such new lease. If Tenant fails to vacate
Suite 700 on or before the Release Date after providing a Contraction
Notice, Tenant shall be required to pay rental for Suite 700 at a rate of
one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Rent provided for in the Lease as of
the Release Date for each calendar month that Tenant remains in occupancy
of Suite 700. Notwithstanding anything in this Third Amendment to the
contrary, Tenant shall remain obligated to pay Rent with respect to Suite
700 for the period prior to the Release
Date.
|
f.
|
Tenant's
Share shall be adjusted to reflect the release of Suite
700.
|
g.
|
At
least thirty (30) days before the Release Date, Landlord and Tenant agree
to enter into an amendment to the Lease to document the exercise of this
Contraction Option.
|
h. Notwithstanding
anything in this Paragraph 6 to the contrary, Tenant shall have no right to
exercise this Contraction Option under this Paragraph 6 at any time after which
either (i) a default occurs with respect to Tenant under the Lease and remains
uncured beyond any applicable notice and cure periods under the Lease or (ii)
the Lease is not in full force and effect.
7. Expansion
Option. Landlord grants Tenant an ongoing option to lease
additional space in the Building (the "Expansion Option") during the initial
Term of the Lease, as amended by this Third Amendment, subject to and in
accordance with the following terms and conditions:
a. The
space that is subject to Tenant's Expansion Option shall be any space located in
the Building, as such space becomes available for Lease.
b. If Tenant desires to expand the
Premises, Tenant shall in good faith deliver a written notice (the "Expansion
Notice") to Landlord stating Tenant's desire to lease all or a portion of the
Expansion Space and the amount of such space desired by Tenant on or
before September 30, 2013, which
notice may not be delivered to Landlord more than one (1) time per calendar
quarter. Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days (the "Search Period") after
receipt of Tenant's Expansion Notice, designate by written notice (the
"Designation Notice") to Tenant space in the Building meeting Tenant's space
requirements that is available for lease by Tenant (such space being hereinafter
referred to as the "Expansion Space"). If no such space meeting Tenant's space
requirements is available for lease by Tenant during such Search Period, then
Landlord shall so indicate to Tenant in the Designation Notice and the Lease
shall remain in full force and effect, subject to Tenant's right to submit
subsequent requests for additional space in accordance with the terms of this
Paragaph 7. If any Expansion Space is designated by Landlord to Tenant in
Landlord's Designation Notice within such Search Period, Tenant may select, at
Tenant’s option, any one or more of the options presented by Landlord in the
Designation Notice by written notice (the "Acceptance Notice") delivered to
Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord's Designation
Notice.
c. If
Tenant duly and timely delivers its Acceptance Notice to Landlord in accordance
with Paragraph 7.b., then the following terms and conditions shall apply to the
lease of the Expansion Space selected by Tenant in its Expansion
Notice:
i. The
Term of the lease of the Expansion Space shall commence on the earlier to occur
of (i) four (4) months after delivery of the Expansion Space by Landlord to
Tenant or (ii) the date Tenant occupies all or any portion of the Expansion
space for the purpose of conducting business therefrom, but in no event later
than October 1, 2014 (such date being the "Expansion Space Commencement
Date");
ii. Monthly
Rental, additional rental and all other sums and charges imposed under the Lease
with respect to the Expansion Space shall commence to accrue on the Expansion
Space Commencement Date;
iii. The
Expansion Space shall become part of the Premises and shall be leased to Tenant
for the remaining portion of the Term of the lease of the Premises upon the
terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the same Base Rental rate
per rentable square foot and the same "Initial Operating Costs") as then and
thereafter in effect from time to time under the Lease for the balance of the
Premises, except as otherwise expressly provided in this subparagraph
c.;
iv. Tenant
improvements to the Expansion Space shall be designed and installed in
accordance with the same procedures and conditions as are set forth in Exhibit B-3 hereto;
except that the Allowance per rentable square foot with respect to the Expansion
Space shall be equal to the product of Twenty and No/100 Dollars ($20.00) and a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full calendar months, plus the
fraction of any partial calendar months, remaining in the initial Term of the
Lease, as amended by this Third Amendment, measured from the Expansion Space
Commencement Date, and the denominator of which is one hundred two
(102).
v. Tenant's
Share shall be adjusted to reflect Tenant's lease of the Expansion
Space.
vi. Landlord
and Tenant agree to enter into an amendment to the Lease to document the
exercise of the Expansion Option within thirty (30) days after Landlord's
receipt of the Acceptance Notice.
d. If
Tenant does not duly and timely deliver its Expansion Notice to Landlord on or
before September 30, 2013, then this Expansion Option and Tenant's rights to the
Expansion Space shall terminate and be of no further force or
effect.
e. For
purposes of this Expansion Option, space in the Building shall be deemed
"available for lease" only if (w) it is not a common area, (x) it is not the
subject of any lease, license or other occupancy agreement with a third party,
(y) it is not encumbered by any rights or options in favor of a tenant other
than Tenant, and (z) it is not the subject of a bona fide written letter of
intent to lease between Landlord and a third-party tenant prospect for such
space.
f. Notwithstanding
anything in this Paragraph 7 to the contrary, Tenant shall have no right to
exercise this Expansion Option under this Paragraph 7 at any time after which
(i) a default has occurred with respect to Tenant under the Lease and remains
uncured beyond applicable notice and cure periods, (ii) the Lease is not in full
force and effect, (iii) Tenant has assigned the Lease, except as otherwise
expressly provided in Section 12(c) of the Lease, or has entered into a sublease
with respect to more than forty percent (40%) of the Premises or (iv) Tenant is
in default beyond any applicable notice and cure periods under any other written
agreement with Landlord respecting the Project.
8. Cancellation
Option. Tenant shall have the one-time option to terminate the
Lease (the "Cancellation Option") as of September 30, 2014 (the "Cancellation
Effective Date") by providing Landlord with written notice of such option
election (the "Cancellation Notice"). Such Cancellation Notice shall
be effective only if it is delivered to Landlord on or before September 30, 2013
(the "Cancellation Notice Deadline"). If Tenant has not delivered its
Cancellation Notice to Landlord on or before the Cancellation Notice Deadline,
this Cancellation Option shall terminate and be of no further force or effect,
and Tenant shall have no right or option to terminate the Lease pursuant to this
Paragraph 8 at any time after the Cancellation Notice Deadline. As a condition
to any cancellation of the Lease by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this
Paragraph 8, Tenant must pay to Landlord simultaneously with the delivery to
Landlord of the Cancellation Notice an amount as a cancellation fee (the
"Cancellation Payment") equal to Nine Hundred Twenty-Nine Thousand Three Hundred
Eighty-Eight and 61/100 Dollars ($929,388.61). The Cancellation Payment shall be
increased or decreased, as the case may be, to reflect any expansion or
contraction of the Premises by an amount equal to the unamortized portion of any
fees, costs, commissions, allowances, costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in
consummating any such expansion or contraction, including, without limitation,
any improvement or other allowances, concessions, rent abatement, brokerage
commissions and legal fees attributable to any expansion or contraction of the
Premises (with interest payable in arrears at the rate of eleven percent (11%)
per annum). Failure by Tenant to give such written notice terminating the Lease,
accompanied by payment of such Cancellation Payment, on or before the
Cancellation Notice Deadline shall mean Tenant shall have waived Tenant's right
to so terminate pursuant to this Paragraph 8. If Tenant validly and
timely exercises this Cancellation Option, Tenant shall nonetheless continue to
be liable for its obligations accruing under the Lease with respect to the
Premises up to and including the Cancellation Effective Date, including, without
limitation, additional rental, and all such obligations having accrued prior to
the Cancellation Effective Date shall survive the termination of the Lease, as
amended hereby. Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph 8 to the
contrary, Tenant shall have no right to exercise the Cancellation Option under
this Paragraph 8 at any time after which (i) a default with respect to Tenant
has occurred and remains uncured beyond applicable notice and cure periods under
the Lease, (ii) the Lease is not in full force and effect or (iii) Tenant is in
default beyond any applicable notice and cure periods under any other written
agreement with Landlord respecting the Project.
9. Extension
Options. Landlord
grants to Tenant two (2) options to extend the Term of the Lease upon and
subject to the following terms and conditions:
a. The
period of extension for the first option shall be three (3) years, commencing at
12:01 a.m. Atlanta, Georgia time on the first day following the date specified
as the Expiration Date of the Lease and ending at midnight Atlanta, Georgia time
on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Expiration Date (such option being
hereinafter referred to as the "First Extension Option" and its period
hereinafter referred to as the "First Extension Period"), and the period of
extension for the second option shall be three (3) years, commencing
at 12:01 a.m. Atlanta, Georgia time on the first day following the
last day of the First Extension Period and ending at midnight Atlanta, Georgia
time on the day immediately preceding the sixth (6th) anniversary of the
Expiration Date (such option being hereinafter referred to as the "Second
Extension Option" and its period hereinafter referred to as the "Second
Extension Period") (the First Extension Option and the Second Extension Option
are sometimes hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the "Extension Options"
and, individually, as an "Extension Option"; and the First Extension Period and
the Second Extension Period are sometimes hereinafter referred to, collectively,
as the "Extension Periods" and, individually, as an "Extension
Period").
b. Tenant
must exercise the First Extension Option by written notice to Landlord given at
least two hundred seventy (270) days but not more than three hundred sixty-five
(365) days before the Expiration Date (hereinafter referred to as the "First
Extension Option Notice"). Tenant must exercise the Second Extension
Option by written notice given at least two hundred seventy (270) days but not
more than three hundred sixty-five (365) days before the end of the First
Extension Period (hereinafter referred to as the "Second Extension Option
Notice"; the First Extension Option Notice and the Second Extension Option
Notice are sometimes herein referred to, generically, as an "Extension Option
Notice"). If Tenant fails timely to give the First Extension Option
Notice, both the First Extension Option and the Second Extension Option shall
lapse unexercised. If Tenant fails timely to give the Second
Extension Option Notice, the Second Extension Option shall lapse
unexercised.
c. The
Extension Option shall be applicable to the entire Premises, as it may have been
expanded or contracted from time to time pursuant to the terms of the Lease, and
may only be exercised with respect to the entire Premises.
d. If
Tenant duly and timely delivers to Landlord the Exercise Notice prior to the
deadline therefor set forth in subparagraph b. above, then the terms and
conditions of the Lease in effect as of the Expiration Date shall remain in full
force and effect during the Extension Period, except that the annual Base Rental
and Allowance per rentable square foot of area of the Premises leased by Tenant
during the Extension Period shall be adjusted at the commencement of the
applicable Extension Period to the then "Prevailing Market Rate and Allowance"
(as hereinafter defined).
e. For
the purposes of this Paragraph 9, "Prevailing Market Rate and Allowance" shall
mean the then prevailing market rate and improvement allowance for monthly
rental and tenant improvement allowances for arms length leases comparable to
the renewal of the Lease for space comparable to the Premises located in the
North Central Perimeter market area and for a term equal to the term of the
Extension Period, taking into account the then prevailing market concessions,
such as free rent, and the creditworthiness of Tenant. The Prevailing
Market Rate and Allowance shall be determined between Landlord and Tenant by
mutual agreement; however, if Landlord and Tenant cannot agree, the Prevailing
Market Rate and Allowance shall be established in the manner specified for
determining Prevailing Market Rate and Allowance contained in subparagraph f.
below.
f. If
Landlord and Tenant have not reached an agreement as to the Prevailing Market
Rate and Allowance within thirty (30) days after Tenant has exercised the
Extension Option, Landlord shall advise Tenant, in writing, of its determination
of the Prevailing Market Rate and Allowance, on a per square foot basis, as of
the beginning of the Extension Period. Within twenty (20) days after receipt of
Landlord's determination of the Prevailing Market Rate and Allowance and
Allowance, Tenant shall advise Landlord, in writing, whether or not Tenant
accepts or rejects the Prevailing Market Rate and Allowance specified by
Landlord. Failure to accept or reject in writing the Prevailing
Market Rate and Allowance specified by Landlord within such 20-day period shall
be deemed acceptance by Tenant. If Tenant rejects the Prevailing
Market Rate and Allowance determined by Landlord, Tenant shall specify in such
notice Tenant's determination of the Prevailing Market Rate and Allowance,
together with Tenant's selection of a real estate appraiser, who shall act on
Tenant's behalf in determining the Prevailing Market Rate and
Allowance. Within twenty (20) days after Landlord's receipt of
Tenant's selection of a real estate appraiser, Landlord, by written notice to
Tenant, shall designate a real estate appraiser, who shall act on Landlord's
behalf in the determination of the Prevailing Market Rate and
Allowance. Within thirty (30) days after the selection of Landlord's
appraiser, the two appraisers shall render a joint written determination of the
Prevailing Market Rate and Allowance. If the two appraisers are
unable to agree upon a joint written determination within said thirty (30) day
period, each appraiser shall render his or her own written determination and the
two appraisers shall select a third appraiser within such thirty (30) day
period. Within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the third
appraiser, the third appraiser shall select one of the determinations of the two
appraisers originally selected, without modification or qualification. All
appraisers selected in accordance with this subsection shall have at least ten
(10) years prior experience in the metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia commercial
office leasing market and shall be members of one or more of the National
Association of Industrial and Office Properties, American Institute of Real
Estate Appraisers, the Atlanta, Georgia Board of Realtors, the State Bar of
Georgia or similar professional organization. If either
Landlord or Tenant fails or refuses to select an appraiser, the other appraiser
shall alone determine the Prevailing Market Rate and
Allowance. Landlord and Tenant agree that they shall be bound by the
determination of Prevailing Market Rate and Allowance pursuant to this
subparagraph for purposes of determining the Monthly Rental and Allowance under
the Lease for an Extension Period. Landlord shall bear the fees and expenses of
its appraiser; Tenant shall bear the fees and expenses of its appraiser; and
Landlord and Tenant shall share equally the fees and expenses of the third
appraiser, if any.
g. At
least thirty (30) days before the commencement of the applicable Extension
Period, Landlord and Tenant agree to enter into an amendment to the Lease to
document the exercise of the Extension Option.
h. Notwithstanding
anything in this Paragraph 9 to the contrary, Tenant shall have no right to
exercise the Extension Option under this Paragraph 9, nor shall Landlord have
any obligation to enter into a lease for an Extension Period with Tenant, at any
time after which (i) a default occurs with respect to Tenant under the Lease
that remains uncured beyond applicable notice and cure periods, (ii) the Lease
is not in full force and effect, (iii) Tenant has assigned the Lease, except as
otherwise expressly provided in Section 12(c) of the Lease, or has entered into
a sublease of more than forty percent (40%) of the Premises or (iv) Tenant is in
default beyond any applicable notice and cure periods under any other written
agreement with Landlord with respect to the Project.
10. Motion Sensor Light
System. Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, retrofit
existing manual light switches located in the Premises with Levitron or other
similar quality motion sensor switches in accordance with the plans therefor
approved by Landlord and Tenant (the "Motion Sensor System"). Landlord shall
install the Motion Sensor System in a good and workmanlike manner and deliver
same to Tenant in good working order. Upon completion of the
installation of the Motion Sensor System, Tenant shall accept same "AS IS, WHERE
IS, WITH ALL FAULTS", except to the extent of any particular motion sensor
switches listed on Tenant's punchlist as hereinafter provided. Not later than
thirty (30) days after Landlord completes the installation of the Motion Sensor
System, Landlord and Tenant shall inspect same to determine if all motion sensor
switches are in good working order and to create a reasonable punchlist for any
motion sensor switches that are not. Any motion sensor switches not
listed on such punchlist shall be deemed to be in good working order and Tenant
shall have no further right to object thereto, except pursuant to the warranty
described herein below. Landlord shall endeavor in good faith to complete the
repairs to any motion sensor switches listed on said punchlist within a
reasonable time. If Tenant fails to participate in such inspection within such
thirty (30) day period, the Motion Sensor System shall be deemed to have been
delivered in good working order. Landlord shall cause the specifications for the
Motion Sensor System to include a requirement for a one (1) year warranty from
the contractor as to defects (including latent defects) in workmanship and
materials, with such warranty to run from the date of completion of the
installation of the Motion Sensor System and to be enforceable by Landlord or
Tenant. At the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease, the Motion Sensor
System shall be subject to the terms of Paragraph 7(b) of the
Lease.
11. Brokerage
Commissions. Except for Xxxxx Xxxx LaSalle - Southesast, Inc.
("Broker"), Tenant represents and warrants that it has not retained or consulted
with a broker, agent or commission salesperson with respect to the negotiation
of this Third Amendment, and that no commissions, fees or compensation of any
kind are due and payable in connection herewith to any broker, agent or
commission salesperson acting for or on behalf of Tenant, other than to Broker.
Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, cost and
damage suffered or incurred by Landlord as the result of any breach by Tenant of
the representation and warranty contained in this Paragraph
11. Except for Cousins Properties Services LP, no broker, agent or
commission salesperson has represented Landlord in the negotiation of this Third
Amendment, and Landlord has agreed to compensate both Broker and Cousins
Properties Services LP for their services in accordance with the terms of
separate commission agreements between Landlord and Broker, on the one hand, and
between Landlord and Cousins Properties Services LP, on the other.
12. Basic Lease
Information. The Basic Lease Information attached to this Third Amendment
as Exhibit A-3
is inserted herein to state certain of the terms of the Lease with respect to
the Premises for the period commencing October 1, 2008 through the new term
Expiration Date.
13. No Further Amendments;
Ratification. Except as expressly amended herein, all terms
and conditions of the Lease remain unamended in full force and effect and are
ratified and confirmed by Landlord and Tenant. In the event of any
conflict between the terms and conditions of this Third Amendment and any of the
terms and conditions of the Lease, the terms and conditions of this Third
Amendment shall control.

laws, ordinances, orders, and regulations; and approval by Landlord of
such Tenant Improvement Construction Documents shall not be deemed
Landlord's confirmation or agreement that same so comply or conform with
such laws, codes or regulations or otherwise constitute a representation
