("Sublessor"), and Xxxxx Management Systems Corporation ("Sublessee"), and to
which this Exhibit is attached and made a part of.
WORKLETTER
To induce the Sublessee to enter into this Lease and without limiting either the
obligations of the Sublessor or the rights and privileges of the Sublessee set
forth in this Lease, the Sublessor and the Sublessee, in consideration of the
mutual covenants hereinafter contained, agree as follows:
1. Plans, Working Drawings and Specifications
A. Sublessor to provide 1/8" scale drawing(s) which will show the type
and location of partitions, doors, electrical and telephone outlets, cabinets,
lighting and HVAC diffusers indicating all work to be done by the Sublessor,
whether at the Sublessor's expense or the Sublessee's expense. The Sublessor
will submit a breakdown of cost for all work to be done by the Sublessor
indicating what portion will be the Sublessee's expense. Only upon written
authorization may the Sublessor proceed with the work.
B. Sublessor will provide to Sublessee samples of finish items to be
selected by Sublessee such as carpet, paint, wall coverings, etc., as
specified in schedule.
C. Sublessee will be responsible for the design cost associated with any
special requirements, e.g. non-standard wiring, HVAC, wall covering,
cabinetwork and millwork or changes to the plan due to changes in Sublessee
requirements, etc. Following the initial design planning meeting with the
Sublessee, the Sublessor will notify the Sublessee of any added design fees and
will not start that part of the design until the Sublessee has approved the
cost.
D. After receipt of the Drawings, the Sublessee shall approve or
disapprove the same. If the Sublessee does not approve the Working Drawings and
Specifications as submitted, the Sublessee shall approve those portions which
are acceptable to the Sublessee and shall disapprove those portions which are
not acceptable to it, specifying the reasons for such disapproval. The
Sublessor shall then, at its sole cost and expense, correct the Drawings and
resubmit them for the Sublessee's review and approval.
E. Sublessor shall use its best effort to ensure that the structure and
detail of the utilities and mechanical and electrical system are in accordance
with working drawings and that all of the work meets applicable federal, state
and local laws, codes, rules and regulations. Sublessee is responsible for
making the Sublessor aware of all of the Sublessee's requirements before the
working drawings are prepared.
F. The Sublessee is responsible for working with the designers to
provide approved plans and finish selections on the dates indicated. Failure
to do so will constitute a day-for-day delay to the scheduled completion
without delaying the commencement date of rent payments.
G. Special requirements, i.e. non-standard fit-up items, may have
ordering and delivery times that will require total completion of the space
after the occupancy date. In some cases, this cannot be determined until the
order is placed for the material. The Sublessor will advise the Sublessee
immediately upon becoming aware of this situation and assist the Sublessee in
providing alternate solutions. The Sublessee will be responsible for any cost
associated with working overtime required to provide special finishes before or
after the occupancy date, if the Sublessor advises the Sublessee of overtime as
part of the alternate solutions to delivery problems.

the Building shall be computed on the accrual basis and shall be all Basic Costs
incurred by Landlord to maintain all facilities of the Building in operation
during all or part of the Base Year, together with such additional or substitute
facilities in subsequent years as may be determined by Landlord to be necessary.
In determining the amount of Basic Costs (for 1993 and any subsequent year), for
the purpose of this Paragraph, in the event that less than 95% of the Rentable
Area of the Building shall have been occupied by tenants and fully used by them
at any time during the year, Basic Costs shall be increased to an amount equal
to the like operating expense which would normally be expected to be incurred
had such occupancy been 95% of the Rentable Area and had such full utilization
been made during the entire period.
3. Lease Grant. Subject to and upon the terms herein set forth, Landlord
leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the Premises for the Lease
Term. Tenant is hereby granted only a usufruct, not subject to levy or sale; no
estate for years nor other estate shall pass from Landlord on account thereof.
The Premises are stipulated for all purposes to contain 110,108 square feet of
Rentable Area.
4. Lease Term. This Lease Term is for a term or period of time commencing
at 12:01 a.m. on the Commencement Date, and continuing thereafter for the next
10 years thereafter.
5. Use. The Premises shall be used for office purposes, and for
demonstration, training and general storage purposes incidental thereto, and for
no other purpose. Tenant agrees not to use, or permit the use of, the Premises
for any purpose which is illegal, or which constitutes or creates a nuisance, or
which would increase the cost of insurance coverage with respect to the
Building, or which tends to reduce the value of the Building or reduce the
attractiveness of the Building to other tenants. Landlord represents to Tenant
that as of the date of this Lease, the Building is zoned under an appropriate
zoning
-3-
18
classification under the zoning ordinance of DeKalb County, Georgia that allows
use of the Building for office use.
6. Base Rents.
(a) Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, without any demand, setoff or
reduction whatsoever, the Base Rental and all such other sums of money as shall
become due hereunder as traditional rent, all of which are sometimes hereinafter
collectively called "rent". In advance in equal monthly installments on the
first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term to Landlord at
Landlord's address provided herein (or such other address as may be designated
by Landlord in writing from time to time). If the term of this Lease commences
on a day other than the first day of a month or terminates on a day other than
the last day of a month then the amount of the installments of Base Rental and
any adjustments thereto for such month or months shall be prorated, based on
the number of days the Lease is in effect during such month.
(b) All installments of rent not paid within five (5) days after the
date when due shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent
(1-1/2%) per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower.
7. Additional Rent.
(a) The Rentable Area in the building is stipulated to be 285,773
square feet. Tenant shall, from time to time during the term of the Lease, pay
as additional rent hereunder, an amount, per each square foot of Rentable Area
within the Premises, equal to the excess ("Excess") in actual Basic Costs, over
the actual 1993 Basic Costs per square foot of Rentable Area in the Building.
Commencing on the fourth (4th) anniversary of the date of this Lease, Tenant
shall begin paying the Excess in accordance with the provisions of this
paragraph.
(b) Landlord shall also have the right to make a good faith estimate
of the Excess for each upcoming calendar year and upon thirty (30) days' notice
to Tenant to require the monthly payment by Tenant of one-twelfth (1/12th) of
such estimated Excess, but in no event shall any such estimate be based on Basic
Costs which exceed the actual Basic Costs for the previous calendar year.
(c) By April 1 of each calendar year following the year during which
the Lease Term begins, or as soon thereafter as practical, Landlord shall
furnish to Tenant a statement of Landlord's actual Basic Costs for the previous
calendar year, and Landlord shall notify Tenant of the amount of the Excess
owing by Tenant to Landlord, showing the calculations thereof which result from
such statement. Tenant agrees to promptly pay Landlord, as additional rent, all
Excess which has not been previously paid as estimated Excess. If for any
calendar year additional rent collected for the prior year, as a result of
Landlord's estimate of Excess, is greater than the additional rent actually due
during such prior year, then Landlord shall refund to Tenant any such
overpayment.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Lease to the
contrary, for purposes of calculating the Excess under this Lease, in no event
shall Controllable Basic Costs be increased in any calendar year after 1993 by
more than five (5%) of the Controllable Basic Costs for the previous calendar
year. For purposes hereof, "Controllable Basic Costs" shall mean all Basic Costs
other than those enumerated in subsections (iii), (v), (vi) and (viii) of
paragraph 2(j) of this Lease.

9. Services to be Furnished by Landlord. Landlord agrees to furnish
Tenant the following services, subject to any limitations which may be imposed
thereon from time to time by any governmental authority:
(a) Hot and cold water at those points of supply provided for
general use of other tenants in the Building, and heating and air
conditioning in season, at such temperatures, and during such business
hours as are deemed standard by Landlord from time to time; however,
heating and air-conditioning services at times other than for normal
business hours for the Building (which for purposes of this Lease shall be
7:00 o'clock a.m. to 6:00 o'clock p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding
holidays, and 8:00 o'clock a.m. to 12:00 o'clock noon on Saturday,
excluding holidays) shall be furnished only at Landlord's discretion upon
the written request of Tenant delivered to Landlord prior to 3:00 p.m. at
least three (3) days in advance of the date such usage is requested. Tenant
shall bear the entire cost of such requested additional service, but such
cost shall not exceed Landlord's actual cost, which cost shall not be
increased except as a result of the increase in the cost of utilities
supplied by the applicable utility company.
(b) Routine maintenance and electric lighting service for all Common
Areas and Service Areas of the Building in the manner and to the extent
deemed by Landlord to be standard.
(c) Janitor service, Mondays through Fridays, but exclusive of normal
business holidays substantially in accordance with Landlord's Building
Standard specifications; except that, if Tenant's floor covering or other
improvements require special treatment, Tenant shall pay the additional
cleaning cost attributable thereto as additional rent upon presentation of
a statement therefore by Landlord.
(d) Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 13, Building Standard
facilities to provide electrical current sufficient to illuminate the
Premises and for the operation of small office machines by Tenant in its
use and occupancy of the Premises.
(e) All Building Standard fluorescent bulb replacement in the
Premises and fluorescent and incandescent bulb replacement in the Common
Areas and Service Areas.
(f) Access to the Building may be regulated during other than normal
business hours in such manner as Landlord deems appropriate; however,
Tenant and its employees shall have access to the Premises 24 hours a day,
7 days a week. Landlord, however, shall have no liability to Tenant, its
employees, agents, invitees or licensees for losses due to theft or
burglary, or for damages or injuries done by unauthorized persons on the
Premises and neither shall Landlord be required to insure against any such
losses. Tenant shall cooperate fully in Landlord's efforts to regulate
access to the Building.
The failure by Landlord to any extent to furnish, or the interruption
or termination of, the above-described services in whole or in part resulting
from causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord shall not render Landlord
liable in any respect, not be construed as an eviction of Tenant, nor cause an
abatement of rent, nor relieve Tenant from the obligation to fulfill any
covenant or agreement hereof. Should any of the equipment or machinery used in
the provision of such services for any cause cease to function properly, Tenant
shall have no claim for offset or abatement of rent or damages on account of an
-5-
20
interruption in service occasioned thereby or resulting therefrom.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any interruption or termination
or the electrical or heating and air conditioning services to be provided by
Landlord under this Lease, and as a result any portion of the Premises is
untenantable for a period of more than fifteen (15) consecutive business days,
then all Base Rent with respect to such portion of the Premises so rendered
untenantable shall xxxxx until such time as such services are restored to the
extent such portion of the Premises is once again tenantable.
9. Monument Sign. Landlord shall cause to be constructed, subject to
and in accordance with applicable laws, a monument sign to be located along
Xxxxxxx-Xxxxxxxx Road, the size, location and design of such monument sign to be
mutually approved by Landlord and Tenant, such approvals not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. In no event, however, shall Landlord be obligated to expend
more than $10,000.000 for the design, construction and installation of such
monument sign. Upon the completion of construction and installation of such
monument sign, Landlord shall be entitled to remove and dispose of the signage
of Tenant located on the exterior of the Building.
10. Graphics. Landlord shall provide and install, at Tenant's cost,
all letters or numerals on doors in the Premises, all such letters and numerals
shall be in the standard graphics for the Building and no others shall be used
or permitted on the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent, such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
11. Care of Premises by Tenant. Tenant agrees not to commit or allow
any waste to be committed on any portion of the Premises, and at the termination
of this Lease to deliver up the Premises to Landlord in as good condition as at
the Commencement Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
12. Repairs and Alterations by Tenant. Tenant covenants and agrees
with Landlord, at Tenant's own cost and expense and with prior notice from
Landlord to Tenant for the need for such repair, to repair or replace any damage
done to the Building, or any part thereof, caused by Tenant or Tenant's agents,
employees, or contractors, and such repairs shall restore the Building to as
good a condition as it was in prior to such damage, and shall be effected in
compliance with all applicable laws; provided, however, that if Tenant fails to
make such repairs or replacements promptly, the Landlord may, at its option,
make repairs or replacements, and Tenant shall pay the cost thereof to the
Landlord on demand as additional rent. Tenant agrees with Landlord not to make
or allow to be made any alterations to the Premises, install any vending
machines on Premises, or place signs on the Premises, which are visible from
outside the Premises, without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord in
each such instance, which consent may be given on such conditions as Landlord
may elect; provided, however, that Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold such
consent with respect to (i) vending machines wholly within the Premises and not
visible from public areas of the Building and (ii) alternations that do not
affect the structural components or the mechanical, plumbing or electrical
systems of the Building. Any and all alterations to the Premises shall become
the property of Landlord upon the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease (but not for movable equipment, trade fixtures or furniture owned by
Tenant), but Landlord may, nonetheless, require Tenant to remove any and all
fixtures, equipment and other improvements installed by Tenant on the Premises
upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease; provided, however,
that with respect to any improvements, Landlord shall not have the right to
require Tenant to remove any improvements installed by Tenant unless such
improvements were installed without the consent of Landlord or at the time of
the consent Landlord notified Tenant that such improvements would be required to
be removed at the end
-6-
21
of the Lease Term. In the event that Landlord so elects, and Tenant fails to
remove such improvements, Landlord may remove such improvements at Tenant's
cost, and Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand the cost of restoring the Premises
to Building Standard.
13. Use of Electrical Services by Tenant. Tenant's use of electrical
services furnished by Landlord shall not exceed, either in voltage, rated
capacity or overall load that which Landlord deems to be Building Standard.
Building Standard does not include electricity used to operate any item of
electrical equipment which singly consumes more than 0.25 kilowatts at rated
capacity or which requires a voltage other than 120 volts single phase. In the
event Tenant shall request that it be allowed to consume electrical services in
excess of that deemed by Landlord to be Building Standard, Landlord may refuse
to consent to such usage if the electrical systems of the Building are not
capable of sustaining such usage, or may consent upon such conditions as
Landlord reasonably elects, including the requirement that submeters be
installed at Tenant's expense, that Tenant pay the cost of the excess
electricity used, and, if the operation of such equipment requires modification
to the Building systems or additional air-conditioning capacity above that
provided by the Building Standard systems then the cost of such modifications
and any additional air-conditioning installation and operation costs shall be
paid by Tenant.
14. Parking. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive
use in common with Landlord, other tenants of the Building (or project in which
the Building is located in a multi-building project), their guests and invitees,
of the nonreserved common automobile parking areas, driveways, and footways,
subject to rules and regulations for the use thereof as prescribed from time to
time by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, fourteen (14) parking spaces
shall be designated by Landlord, at Tenant's expense, for the exclusive use of
Tenant and Tenant's invitees, in substantially the location set forth on Exhibit
"B" hereto.
15. Laws and Regulations. Tenant agrees to comply with all applicable
laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of any governmental entity or agency
having jurisdiction of Premises.
16. Building Rules. Tenant will comply with the rules of the Building as
set forth herein as adopted and amended by Landlord from time to time, and will
cause all of its agents, employees, and contractors to do so.
17. Entry by Landlord. Tenant agrees to permit Landlord or its agents or
representatives to enter into and upon any part of the Premises at all
reasonable hours upon prior reasonable notice (and in emergencies at all times)
to inspect the same, or to show the Premises to prospective purchasers,
mortgagees, tenants or insurers, to clean or make repairs, alterations, or
additions thereto, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or
reduction of rent by reason thereof.
18. Assignment and Subletting.
(a) Tenant covenants that it will not assign, sublease, transfer or
encumber this Lease or any interest therein without the prior written consent of
Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(b) Fifty percent (50%) of all cash or other proceeds of any assignment,
sale or sublease of Tenant's interest in this Lease in excess of the rent
required to be paid by Tenant hereunder (on a per square foot basis), shall be
paid to Landlord, whether consented to by Landlord or not, unless Landlord
agrees
-7-
22
to the contrary in writing, and Tenant hereby assigns all rights it might have
or ever acquire in any such proceeds to Landlord. Tenant may deduct from such
proceeds (prior to calculating the split of such proceeds as provided above)
reasonable, ordinary and necessary costs and expenses incurred in connection
with the negotiation of a sublease, assignment or sale of Tenant's interest
including any reasonable leasing commission if actually incurred by Tenant and
paid to a licensed real estate broker which is unaffiliated with Tenant. The
above notwithstanding, the rent due under this lease shall in no event be
reduced.
19. Mechanic's Liens. Tenant covenants that it will not permit any
mechanic's lien or liens to be placed upon the Premises or the Building.
Nothing in this Lease shall be deemed or construed in any way as constituting
the consent or request of Landlord, express or implied, by inference or
otherwise, to any person for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of
any material to the Premises, or any part thereof, nor as giving Tenant any
right, power, or authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any
services or the furnishing of any materials that would give rise to any
mechanic's or other liens against the Premises. In the event any such lien is
attached to the Premises and is not removed of record by payment or by bonding
in accordance with Georgia law within fifteen (15) days after the date Tenant
becomes aware of the same, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of
Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same. Any
amount paid by Landlord for any of the aforesaid purposes shall be paid by
Tenant to Landlord on demand as additional rent.
20. Property Insurance. Landlord shall maintain fire and extended
coverage insurance on the Building and the Premises in such amounts as
Landlord's mortgagees shall require. Such insurance shall be maintained at the
expense of Landlord (as a part of the Basic Costs), and payments for losses
thereunder shall be made solely to Landlord or the mortgagees of Landlord as
their interests shall appear. Tenant shall maintain at its expense, in an
amount equal to full replacement cost, fire and extended coverage insurance on
all of its personal property including removable trade fixtures, located in the
Premises, in such additional amounts as are required to meet Tenant's
obligations pursuant to Paragraph 22 hereof. Tenant shall, at Landlord's
request from time to time, provide Landlord with current certificates of
insurance evidencing Tenant's compliance with this Paragraph 20 and Paragraph
21. Tenant shall obtain the agreement of Tenant's insurers to notify Landlord
that a policy is due to contain waiver of subrogation clauses as to the other
party.
21. LIABILITY INSURANCE. Tenant and Landlord shall, each at its own
expense, maintain a policy or policies of comprehensive general liability
insurance with respect to the respective activities of each in the Building,
and the Exterior Common Areas (or within the project if the Building is
located in a multi-building project) with the premiums thereto fully paid on or
before due date, issued by and binding upon some insurance company approved by
Landlord, such insurance to afford minimum protection of not less than
$1,000,000.00 combined single limit coverage for death or bodily injury, and
$100,000.00 for property damage.
22. Indemnity. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, or to
Tenant's agents, servants, employees, customers, or invitees for any injury to
person or damage to property caused by any act, omission, or neglect of Tenant,
its agents, servants or employees, invitees, licensees or any other person
entering the Building under the invitation of Tenant or arising out of the use
of the Premises by Tenant and Tenant hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold
Landlord harmless from all liability and claims for any such damage or injury.
Tenant shall not be liable to
-8-
23
Landlord or to Landlord's agents, servants, employees, customers or invitees
for any injury to person or damage to property caused by any act, omission or
neglect of Landlord, its agents, servants or employees, and Landlord hereby
indemnifies and agrees to hold Tenant harmless from all liability and claims
for any such injury or damage; provided, however, that the foregoing
indemnification of Landlord shall not be deemed or construed to deny Landlord
the benefit of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant for the benefit
of Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 21 above with respect to any such
claim or liability.
23. Waiver of Subrogation Rights. Anything in this Lease to the
contrary notwithstanding, Landlord and Tenant each hereby waives any and all
rights of recovery, claim, action, or cause of action, against the other, its
agents, officers, or employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the
Premises, or any improvements thereto, or the Building of which the Premises
are a part, or any improvements thereto, or any personal property of such party
therein, by reason of fire, the elements, or any other cause(s) which are
insured against under the terms of the standard fire and extended coverage
insurance policies referred to herein, regardless of cause or origin, including
negligence of the other party hereto, its agents, officers, or employees.
24. Casualty Damage. If the Premises or any part thereof shall be
damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give prompt written notice
thereof to Landlord. In case the Building shall be so damaged that, in
Landlord's good faith estimation, the time required to repair and reconstruct
the Building shall exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the
casualty (whether or not the Premises shall have been damaged by such
casualty), or in the event any mortgagee of Landlord's should require that the
insurance proceeds payable as a result of a casualty be applied to the payment
of the mortgage debt, or in the event of any material loss to the Building that
would not be covered by fire and extended coverage insurance commonly carried
for commercial properties such as the Building, Landlord may, at its option,
terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within
sixty (60) days of the date of the casualty.
If Landlord does not thus elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord
shall commence and proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Building to
substantially the same condition in which it was immediately prior to the
happening of the casualty, except that Landlord shall not be required to spend
for such work an amount in excess of the insurance proceeds actually received
by Landlord as a result of the casualty.
Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to
Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting in any way from such
damage or the repair thereof, except that, subject to the provisions of the
next sentence, Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportional diminution of rent
during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy. If the
Premises or any other portion of the Building be damaged by fire or other
casualty resulting from the fault or negligence of Tenant or any of Tenant's
agents, employees, or invitees, the rent hereunder shall not be diminished
during the repair of such damage and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for the
cost of the repair and restoration of the Building caused thereby to the extent
such cost and expense is not covered by insurance proceeds.
25. Condemnation. If the whole or substantially the whole of the
Building or the Premises should be taken for any public or quasi-public use, by
right of eminent domain or otherwise, or should be sold in lieu of
condemnation, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date when physical
possession of
-9-
24
the Building or the Premises is taken by the condemning authority. If less than
the whole or substantially the whole of the Building or the Premises is thus
taken or sold. (Landlord whether or not the Premises are affected thereby) may
terminate this Lease by giving written notice thereof to Tenant: in which event
this Lease shall terminate as of the date when physical possession of such
portion of the Building or Premises is taken by the condemning authority. If
this Lease is not so terminated upon any such taking or sale, the Base Rental
payable hereunder shall be diminished by an equitable amount, and Landlord shall
restore the Building and the Premises as much as possible to substantially their
former condition, to the extent condemnation proceeds are made available by the
holder of any mortgage or deed to secure debt on the Building, but Landlord
shall in no event be required to spend for such work an amount in excess of the
amount received by Landlord as compensation for such damage. All amounts awarded
upon a taking of any part or all of the Building or the Premises shall belong to
Landlord, and Tenant shall not be entitled to and expressly waives all claims to
any such compensation.
26. Damages from Certain Causes. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant
for any loss or damage to any property or person occasioned by theft, fire, act
of God, public enemy, injunction, riot, strike, insurrection, war, casualty,
water damage of whatsoever nature, vandalism, court order, requisition, or order
of governmental body or authority or by any other cause beyond the control of
Landlord, nor shall Landlord be liable for any damage or inconvenience which may
arise through repair or alteration of any part of the Building, Exterior Common
Areas, or Premises so long as Tenant continues to have access to and from the
Premises (unless such continued access during such repair would endanger persons
in the Premises).
27. Events of Default/Remedies.
(a) The following events shall be deemed to be events of default by Tenant
under this Lease: (i) Tenant shall fail to promptly pay any rent or other sum of
money due hereunder within five (5) days after receipt of written notice from
Landlord to Tenant of such failure; (ii) Tenant shall fail to comply with any
other provision of this Lease within thirty (30) days after receipt of written
notice from Landlord to Tenant of such failure or, if such failure shall be
incapable of cure within thirty (30) days, Tenant shall not commence to cure
such failure within such thirty (30) day period and continuously prosecute the
performance of the same to completion with due diligence; (iii) the leasehold
hereunder demised shall be taken on execution or other process of law in any
action against Tenant; (iv) a default or event of default shall occur under that
certain Lease dated August 29, 1984 between Landlord and Tenant, as amended by
the ten (10) amendments thereof existing as of the date of this Lease, and as
thereafter amended; (v) Tenant shall fail to promptly move into and take
possession of the Premises when the Premises are ready for occupancy, or shall
abandon any substantial portion of the Premises; (vi) Tenant shall become
insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they become due, or Tenant notifies
Landlord that it anticipates either condition; (vii) Tenant takes any action to,
or notifies Landlord that Tenant intends to file a petition under section or
chapter of the National Bankruptcy Act, as amended, or under any similar law or
statute of the United States or any State thereof; or a petition shall be filed
against Tenant under any such statute; or (viii) a receiver or trustee shall be
appointed for Tenant's leasehold interest in the Premises or for all or a
substantial part of the assets of Tenant. If Landlord shall not be permitted to
terminate this Lease as hereinabove provided because of the provisions of Title
II, of the United States Code relating to Bankruptcy as amended ("Bankruptcy
Code"), then Tenant or any trustee for Tenant agrees promptly, within no more
than sixty (60) days upon request by Landlord to the Bankruptcy Court, to assume
or reject this Lease. In such
-10-
25
event. Tenant or any trustee of Tenant may assume this Lease only if it (i)
cures or provides adequate assurance that the trustee will promptly cure any
default hereunder and (ii) compensates or provides adequate assurance that
Tenant will promptly compensate Landlord for any actual pecuniary loss to
Landlord resulting from Tenant's default.
(b) Upon the occurrence of any event or events of default by Tenant,
whether enumerated in this Paragraph or not, Landlord shall have the option to
pursue any one or more of the following remedies without being deemed to have
made an election of remedies and without any further notice or demand for
possession whatsoever (and without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Tenant hereby specifically waives notice and demand for payment of rent or other
obligations due and waives any and all other notices or demand requirements
imposed by applicable law); (i) terminate this Lease in which Tenant shall
immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord; (ii) terminate Tenant's right to
occupy the Premises (without terminating this Lease); (iii) enter upon the
Premises and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this
Lease; and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses which
Landlord may incur in effecting compliance with Tenant's obligations under this
Lease; and (iv) exercise all other remedies available to Landlord at law or in
equity, including, without limitation, injunctive relief of all varieties.
In the event Landlord elects to reenter or take possession of the Premises
after Tenant's default, Tenant hereby waives notice of such reentry or
repossession and of Landlord's intent to reenter or retake possession, Landlord
may, without prejudice to any other remedy which he may have for possession or
arrearages in rent, expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be
occupying said Premises or any part thereof. All Landlord's remedies shall be
cumulative and not exclusive. Forbearance to enforce one or more of the
remedies herein provided upon an event of default shall not be deemed or
construed to constitute a waiver of such default, or of any future defaults, or
to limit Landlord's right to require strict compliance by Tenant with the
provisions of this Lease.
(c) Tenant hereby covenants that, prior to the exercise of any such
remedies, it will give the mortgagees holding mortgages on the Building notice
and a reasonable time to cure any default by Landlord provided Tenant has been
furnished with the name and address of such mortgagees.
(d) If this Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of
Paragraph 27, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages, either:
(i) a sum which represents the then excess, if any, of (a) the
aggregate amount of the rental due and reserved hereunder from the date of
Tenant's default to the expiration date of the fully stated term hereof
over (b) the aggregate rental value of the Premises for the same period as
reduced by the estimated cost of reletting the Premises, including attorneys'
fees, commission, alterations and repair costs; or
(ii) sums equal to the rent which would have been payable by Tenant
had this Lease not been so terminated, or had Landlord not so reentered the
Premises, payable upon the due dates therefor specified herein, provided,
however, that if Landlord shall relet the Premises during said period,
Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents received by Landlord from
such reletting such net rents to be determined by first deducting from the
gross rents as and when received by Landlord from such reletting the expenses
incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this Lease and/or in
26
reentering the Premises and in securing possession thereof, as well as the
expenses of reletting, including, without limitation, altering and
preparing the Premises for new tenants, brokers' commissions, legal fees,
and all other expenses properly chargeable against the Premises and the
rental therefrom, it being understood that any such reletting may be for a
period shorter or longer than the remaining term of this lease; but in no
event shall Tenant be entitled to a credit for any net rents from a
re-letting, except to the extent set forth hereinabove.
In the event of such termination of this Lease by Landlord as set
forth above, Landlord shall make reasonable good faith efforts to mitigate its
damages, but "reasonable good faith efforts" shall be deemed to have been made
if Landlord includes the Premises within Landlord's customary marketing
activities for Landlord's other vacant space in the Building. Nothing contained
herein shall require Landlord to give priority or preference to re-letting the
Premises ahead of other vacant space (either in the Building or in other
Buildings) owned or controlled by Landlord or its affiliates.
28. Peaceful Enjoyment. Tenant shall, and may peacefully have, hold,
and enjoy the Premises, subject to the other terms hereof, provided that Tenant
pays the rent and other sums herein recited to be paid by Tenant and performs
all of Tenant's covenants and agreements herein contained. This covenant and any
and all other covenants of Landlord shall be binding upon Landlord and its
successors only with respect to breaches occurring during its or their
respective period of ownership of the Building.
29. Surrender of Premises. Upon termination of this Lease for any
reason whatsoever, Tenant shall surrender the premises and keys thereof to
Landlord in the same condition as at commencement of the term, natural wear and
tear only excepted. Should Tenant refuse or fail to surrender the Premises upon
the expiration of the lease term or earlier termination thereof, Tenant shall be
a tenant at sufferance and shall pay to Landlord on demand each month a sum
equal to 135% of the rent due hereunder during such holdover period; provided
that there shall be no renewal of this Lease by operation of law.
If Tenant remains in possession after the expiration of the term
hereof with Landlord's acquiescence and without any distinct agreement of
parties, Tenant shall be a tenant at will, and there shall be no renewal of this
Lease by operation of law. Notwithstanding the notice provision of O.C.G.A.
Section 44-7-7, as the same may be now or hereafter amended, such tenancy at
will may be terminated upon sixty (60) days notice from Landlord.
30. Subordination, Estoppel, Attornment. This Lease shall be subject
and subordinate to any mortgage, deed to secure debt or other lien presently
existing or hereafter arising upon the Premises or upon the Building, or the
exterior Common Areas, and to any renewals, refinancing and extensions thereof
(each, a "Mortgage"). At the request of any successor to the title or interests
of Landlord, Tenant shall attorn to such successor. The subordination of this
Lease to any Mortgage, and the attornment of Tenant to the holder of any
Mortgagee, is conditioned upon an express agreement contained in such Mortgage,
or in a separate instrument to be recorded, that enforcement of such Mortgage
shall not terminate this Lease or disturb Tenant in the possession and use of
the Premises (except in the case where Tenant is in default beyond the period,
if any, provided in this Lease to remedy such default), that any party
succeeding to the interest of Landlord as a result of the enforcement of any
Mortgage shall be bound to Tenant, and Tenant shall be bound to it, under all
the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease for the balance of the term
of this Lease with the same force and
-21-
27
effect as if such party were the original Landlord under this Lease; provided,
however, that such party shall not be liable (i) for any act or omission of any
prior Landlord, or (ii) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant may have
had against any prior Landlord, or (iii) bound by any monies which Tenant might
have paid for more than the current month's rent or any prepaid estimates of the
excess to any prior Landlord, or (iv) bound by any amendment or modification of
this Lease made without the prior written consent of the holder of the Mortgage.
Upon the request of Landlord, Tenant agrees to execute a subordination,
nondisturbance and attornment agreement incorporating the provisions set forth
above and otherwise in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant. Tenant
agrees that it will from time to time upon request by Landlord execute and
deliver to such persons as Landlord shall request a statement in recordable form
certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if
there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as so
modified), stating the dates to which rent and other charges payable under this
Lease have been paid, stating that Landlord is not in default hereunder (or if
Tenant alleges a default stating the nature of such alleged default) and further
stating such other matters as may be reasonably requested.
31. No Implied Waiver. The failure of Landlord to insist at any time upon
the strict performance of any covenant or agreement or to exercise any option,
right, power or remedy contained in this Lease shall not be construed as a
waiver or relinquishment thereof for the future. No payment by Tenant or receipt
by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly installment of rent due under
this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest rent due
hereunder, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter
accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction,
and Landlord's right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other
remedy in this lease provided.
32. Security Deposit. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].
33. Notice. Any notice in this Lease provided for must be in writing, and
may be given or be served either by depositing the same in the United States
mail, postpaid and certified and addressed to the party to be notified, with
return receipt requested, or by actually delivering the same addressed to the
party to be notified at the address stated below or at such other address as may
from time to time be designated by the addressee by notice given in accordance
herewith. Notice deposited in the mail in the manner hereinabove described shall
be deemed received upon the date of receipt as indicated on the return receipt.
In the event delivery by mail cannot be made or is refused, the date of mailing
shall be deemed to be the date of receipt of the notice.
34. Severability. If any term or provision of this Lease, or the
application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent be
invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of
such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which
it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and each term
and provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
35. Governing Law. This lease and the rights and obligations of the
parties hereto shall be interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with
the laws of the State of Georgia.
36. Force Majeure. Whenever a period of time is herein prescribed for the
taking of any action by Landlord,
-13-
28
Landlord shall not be liable or responsible for, and there shall be excluded
from the computation of such period of time, any delays due to strikes, riots,
fire, acts of God, shortages of labor or materials, war, governmental laws,
regulations or restrictions, or any other cause whatsoever beyond the control of
Landlord.
37. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Lease.
38. Transfers by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to transfer
and assign, in whole or in part, all its rights and obligations hereunder and in
the Building and property referred to herein, and in such event and upon such
transfer Landlord shall be released from any further obligations hereunder, and
Tenant agrees to look solely to such successor in interest of Landlord for the
performance of such obligations.
39. Commissions. Landlord and Tenant hereby indemnify and hold each
other harmless against any loss, claim, expense or liability with respect to any
commissions or brokerage fees claimed on account of the execution and/or renewal
of this lease due to any action of the indemnifying party.
40. Liability. Landlord shall have no personal liability with respect
to its obligations under this Lease. Tenant shall look solely to Landlord's
equity in the Building and exterior Common Areas for satisfaction of Tenant's
remedies. In no event shall Landlord's liability exceed such equity.
41. Hazardous Substances. Tenant shall not cause or permit any
hazardous, toxic or dangerous substances (as defined or described in any
applicable federal, state or local statute, law, ordinance, code, rule,
regulation, order or decree regulating, relating to, or imposing liability or
standards of conduct concerning hazardous, toxic or dangerous substances) to be
brought upon, kept or used in or about the Premises or the Building. Tenant
shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims,
judgments, demands, penalties, fines, losses and costs and expenses incurred by
Landlord during or after the term of this Lease as a result of such hazardous,
toxic or dangerous substances that Tenant causes or permits to be brought upon,
kept or used in or about the Premises or the Building during the term of this
Lease. Landlord represents to Tenant, to Landlord's actual knowledge and based
solely upon Landlord's review of its existing Phase I environmental audit of the
Building prepared by BCM, dated February 1991, that no radon, asbestos or other
material defined as hazardous under any existing applicable local, state or
federal laws or regulations as of the date hereof is contained within the
Premises of the Building or upon the land on which the Building is located.
42. Option With Respect to Basement Space. Tenant shall have the
option to lease from Landlord, commencing on November 1, 1994, approximately
5,230 square feet of storage space in the basement of the Building at an annual
rent of $8.00 per square foot of space for the then remaining term of this
Lease. Such rent shall be payable in advance in equal monthly installments in
the same manner as Base Rent is paid. Such option may be exercised by Tenant's
giving written notice to Landlord at any time before October 1, 1994. In the
event Tenant so exercises the option contained in this paragraph, Tenant shall
have the right at any time after November 1, 1994, by written notice to
Landlord, to cancel Tenant's use of such basement space upon no less than ninety
(90) days prior written notice to Landlord.
43. Satellite Dish. The provisions attached hereto as Exhibit "D"
regarding Tenant's satellite dish are incorporated herein by reference.

same); (vii) cost of repairs and general maintenance (excluding repairs and
general maintenance paid by proceeds of insurance or by Tenant or other third
parties, and alteration attributable solely to tenants of the Building, other
than Tenant); (viii) amortization of the cost of installation of capital
improvements or other capital items which are primarily for the purpose of
reducing operating costs or which may be required by governmental authority, as
reasonably amortized by Landlord and (ix) management fees. The Basic Costs of
the Building shall be computed on the accrual basis and shall be all Basic Costs
incurred by Landlord to maintain all facilities of the Building in operation
during all or part of the Base Year, together with such additional or substitute
facilities in subsequent years as may be determined by Landlord to be necessary.
In determining the amount of Basic Costs (for 1993 and any subsequent year), for
the purpose of this Paragraph, in the event that less than 95% of the Rentable
Area of the Building shall have been occupied by tenants and fully used by them
at any time during the year, Basic Costs shall be increased to an amount equal
to the like operating expense which would normally be expected to be incurred
had such occupancy been 95% of the Rentable Area and had such full utilization
been made during the entire period.
3. Lease Grant. Subject to and upon the terms herein set forth, Landlord
leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the Premises for the Lease
Term. Tenant is hereby granted only a usufruct, not subject to levy or sale; no
estate for years nor other estate shall pass from Landlord on account thereof.
The Premises are stipulated for all purposes to contain 110,108 square feet of
Rentable Area.
4. Lease Term. This Lease Term is for a term or period of time commencing
at 12:01 a.m. on the Commencement Date, and continuing thereafter for the next
10 years thereafter.
5. Use. The Premises shall be used for office purposes, and for
demonstration, training and general storage purposes incidental thereto, and for
no other purpose. Tenant agrees not to use, or permit the use of, the Premises
for any purpose which is illegal, or which constitutes or creates a nuisance, or
which would increase the cost of insurance coverage with respect to the
Building, or which tends to reduce the value of the Building or reduce the
attractiveness of the Building to other tenants. Landlord represents to Tenant
that as of the date of this Lease, the Building is zoned under an appropriate
zoning
-3-
41
classification under the Zoning Ordinance of DeKalb County, Georgia that allows
use of the Building for office use.
6. Base Rental.
(a) Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, without any demand, setoff or
deduction whatsoever, the Base Rental and all such other sums of money as shall
become due hereunder as additional rent, all of which are sometimes hereinafter
collectively called "rent", in advance in equal monthly installments on the
first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term to Landlord at
Landlord's address provided herein (or such other address as may be designated
by Landlord in writing from time to time). If the term of this Lease commences
on a day other than the first day of a month or terminates on a day other than
the last day of a month then the amount of the installments of Base Rental and
any adjustments thereto for such month or months shall be prorated, based on
the number of days the Lease is in effect during such month.
(b) All installments of rent not paid within five (5) days after the date
when due shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1- 1 1/2%)
per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower.
7. Additional Rent.
(a) The Rentable Area in the Building is stipulated to be 285,773 square
feet. Tenant shall, from time to time during the term of the Lease, pay as
additional rent hereunder, an amount, per each square foot of Rentable Area
within the Premises, equal to the excess ("Excess") in actual Basic Costs, over
the actual 1993 Basic Costs per square foot of Rentable Area in the Building.
Commencing on the fourth (4th) anniversary of the date of this Lease, Tenant
shall begin paying the Excess in accordance with the provisions of this
paragraph.
(b) Landlord shall also have the right to make a good faith estimate of
the Excess for each upcoming calendar year and upon thirty (30) days' notice to
Tenant to require the monthly payment by Tenant of one-twelfth (1-12th) of such
estimated Excess, but in no event shall any such estimate be based on Basic
Costs which exceed the actual Basic Costs for the previous calendar year.
(c) By April 1 of each calendar year following the year during which the
Lease Term begins, or as soon thereafter as practical, Landlord shall furnish
to Tenant a statement of Landlord's actual Basic Costs for the previous
calendar year, and Landlord shall notify Tenant of the amount of the Excess
owing by Tenant to Landlord, showing the calculations thereof which result from
such statement. Tenant agrees to promptly pay Landlord, as additional rent, all
Excess which has not been previously paid as estimated Excess. If for any
calendar year additional rent collected for the prior year, as a result of
Landlord's estimate of Excess, is greater than the additional rent actually due
during such prior year, then Landlord shall refund to Tenant any such
overpayment.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Lease to the
contrary, for purposes of calculating the Excess under this Lease, in no event
shall Controllable Basic Costs be increased in any calendar year after 1993 by
more than five percent (5%) of the Controllable Basic Costs for the previous
calendar year. For purposes hereof, "Controllable Basic Costs" shall mean all
Basic Costs other than those enumerated in subsections (iii), (v), (vi) and
(viii) of paragraph 2(j) of this Lease.

8. Services to be Furnished by Landlord. Landlord agrees to furnish
Tenant the following services, subject to any limitations which may be imposed
thereon from time to time by any governmental authority:
(a) Hot and cold water at those points of supply provided for general
use of other tenants in the Building, and heating and air conditioning in
season, at such temperatures, and during such business hours as are deemed
standard by Landlord from time to time; however, heating and
air-conditioning services at times other than for normal business hours for
the Building (which for purposes of this Lease shall be 7:00 o'clock a.m.
to 6:00 o'clock p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, and 8:00
o'clock a.m. to 12:00 o'clock noon on Saturday, excluding holidays) shall
be furnished only at Landlord's discretion upon the written request of
Tenant delivered to Landlord prior to 3:00 p.m. at least three (3) days in
advance of the date such usage is requested. Tenant shall bear the entire
cost of such requested additional service, but such cost shall not exceed
Landlord's actual cost, which cost shall not be increased except as a
result of the increase in the cost of utilities supplied by the applicable
utility company.
(b) Routine maintenance and electric lighting service for all Common
Areas and Service Areas of the Building in the manner and to the extent
deemed by Landlord to be standard.
(c) Janitor service, Mondays through Fridays, but exclusive of normal
business holidays substantially in accordance with Landlord's Building
Standard specifications; except that, if Tenant's floor covering or other
improvements require special treatment, Tenant shall pay the additional
cleaning cost attributable thereto as additional rent upon presentation of
a statement therefore by Landlord.
(d) Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 13, Building Standard
facilities to provide electrical current sufficient to illuminate the
Premises and for the operation of small office machines by Tenant in its
use and occupancy of the Premises.
(e) All Building Standard fluorescent bulb replacement in the
Premises and fluorescent and incandescent bulb replacement in the Common
Areas and Service Areas.
(f) Access to the Building may be regulated during other than normal
business hours in such manner as Landlord deems appropriate; however,
Tenant and its employees shall have access to the Premises 24 hours a day,
7 days a week. Landlord, however, shall have no liability to Tenant, its
employees, agents, invitees or licensees for losses due to theft or
burglary, or for damages or injuries done by unauthorized persons on the
Premises and neither shall Landlord be required to insure against any such
losses. Tenant shall cooperate fully in Landlord's efforts to regulate
access to the Building.
The failure by Landlord to any extent to furnish, or the interruption
or termination of, the above-described services in whole or in part resulting
from causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord shall not render Landlord
liable in any respect, not be construed as an eviction of Tenant, nor an
abatement of rent, nor relieve Tenant from the obligation to fulfill any
covenant or agreement hereof. Should any of the equipment or machinery used in
the provision of such services for any cause cease to function properly, Tenant
shall have no claim for offset or abatement of rent or damages on account of an
-5-
43
interruption in service occasioned thereby or resulting therefrom.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any interruption or termination
of the electrical or heating and air conditioning services to be provided by
Landlord under this Lease, and as result any portion of the Premises is
untenantable for a period of more than fifteen (15) consecutive business days,
then all Base Rent with respect to such portion of the Premises so rendered
untenantable shall xxxxx until such time as such services are restored to the
extent such portion of the Premises is once again tenantable.
9. MONUMENT SIGN. Landlord shall cause to be constructed, subject to and
in accordance with applicable laws, a monument sign to be located along
Xxxxxxx-Xxxxxxxx Road, the size, location and design to such monument sign to be
mutually approved by Landlord and Tenant, such approvals not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. In no event, however, shall Landlord be obligated to expend
more than $10,000.00 for the design, construction and installation of such
monument sign. Upon the completion of construction and installation of such
monument sign, Landlord shall be entitled to remove and dispose of the signage
of Tenant located on the exterior of the Building.
10. GRAPHICS. Landlord shall provide and install, at Tenant's cost, all
letters or numerals on doors in the Premises, all such letters and numerals
shall be in the standard graphics for the Building and no others shall be used
or permitted on the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent, such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
11. CARE OF PREMISES BY TENANT. Tenant agrees not to commit or allow any
waste to be committed on any portion of the Premises, and at the termination of
this Lease to deliver up the Premises to Landlord in as good condition as at the
Commencement Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
12. REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS BY TENANT. Tenant covenants and agrees with
Landlord, at Tenant's own cost and expense and with prior notice from Landlord
to Tenant for the need for such repair, to repair or replace any damage done to
the Building, or any part thereof, caused by Tenant or Tenant's agents,
employees, or contractors, and such repairs shall restore the Building to as
good a condition as it was in prior to such damage, and shall be effected in
compliance with all applicable laws; provided, however, that if Tenant fails to
make such repairs or replacements promptly, then Landlord may, at its option,
make repairs or replacements, and Tenant shall pay the cost thereof to the
Landlord on demand as additional rent. Tenant agrees with Landlord not to make
or allow to be made any alterations to the Premises, install any vending
machines on Premises, or place signs on the Premises, which are visible from
outside the Premises, without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord in
each such instance, which consent may be given on such conditions as Landlord
may elect; provided, however, that Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold such
consent with respect to (i) vending machines wholly within the Premises and not
visible from public areas of the Building and (ii) alterations that do not
affect the structural components or the mechanical, plumbing or electrical
systems of the Building. Any and all alterations to the Premises shall become
the property of Landlord upon the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease (but not for movable equipment, trade fixtures or furniture owned by
Tenant), but Landlord may, nonetheless, require Tenant to remove any and all
fixtures, equipment and other improvements installed by Tenant on the Premises
upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease; provided, however,
that with respect to any improvements, Landlord shall not have the right to
require Tenant to remove any improvements installed by Tenant unless such
improvements were installed without the consent of Landlord or at the time of
the consent Landlord notified Tenant that such improvements would be required to
be removed at the end
-6-
44
of the Lease Term. In the event that Landlord so elects, and Tenant fails to
remove such improvements, Landlord may remove such improvements at Tenant's
cost, and Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand the cost of restoring the
Premises to Building Standard.
13. Use of Electrical Services by Tenant. Tenant's use of electrical
services furnished by Landlord shall not exceed, either in voltage, rated
capacity or overall load that which Landlord deems to be Building Standard.
Building Standard does not include electricity used to operate any item of
electrical equipment which singly consumes more than 0.25 kilowatts at rated
capacity or which requires a voltage other than 120 volts single phase. In the
event Tenant shall request that it be allowed to consume electrical services in
excess of that deemed by Landlord to be Building Standard, Landlord may refuse
to consent to such usage if the electrical systems of the Building are not
capable of sustaining such usage, or may consent upon such conditions as
Landlord reasonably elects, including the requirement that submeters be
installed at Tenant's expense, that Tenant pay the cost of the excess
electricity used, and, if the operation of such equipment requires modification
to the Building systems or additional air-conditioning capacity above that
provided by the Building Standard systems then the cost of such modifications
and any additional air-conditioning installation and operation costs shall be
paid by Tenant.
14. Parking. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive
use in common with Landlord, other tenants of the Building (or project in which
the Building is located in a multi-building project), their guests and
invitees, of the nonreserved common automobile parking areas, driveways, and
footways, subject to rules and regulations for the use thereof as prescribed
from time to time by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, fourteen (14)
parking spaces shall be designated by Landlord, at Tenant's expense, for the
exclusive use of Tenant and Tenant's invitees, in substantially the location
set forth on Exhibit "B" hereto.
15. Laws and Regulations. Tenant agrees to comply with all applicable
laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations of any governmental entity or agency
having jurisdiction of the Premises.
16. Building Rules. Tenant will comply with the rules of the Building as
set forth herein as adopted and amended by Landlord from time to time, and will
cause all of its agents, employees, and contractors to do so.
17. Entry by Landlord. Tenant agrees to permit Landlord or its agents or
representatives to enter into and upon any part of the Premises at all
reasonable hours upon prior reasonable notice (and in emergencies at all times)
to inspect the same, or to show the Premises to prospective purchasers,
mortgagees, tenants or insurers, to clean or make repairs, alterations, or
additions thereto, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or
reduction of rent by reason thereof.
18. Assignment and Subletting.
(a) Tenant convenants that it will not assign, sublease, transfer or
encumber this Lease or any interest therein without the prior written consent
of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(b) Fifty percent (50%) of all cash or other proceeds of any assignment,
sale or sublease of Tenant's interest in this Lease in excess of the rent
required to be paid by Tenant hereunder (on a per square foot basis) shall be
paid to Landlord, whether consented to by Landlord or not, unless Landlord
agrees
-7-
45
to the contrary in writing, and Tenant hereby assigns all rights it might have
or ever acquire in any such proceeds to Landlord. Tenant may deduct from such
proceeds (prior to calculating the split of such proceeds as provided above)
reasonable, ordinary and necessary costs and expenses incurred in connection
with the negotiation of a sublease, assignment or sale of Tenant's interest
(including any reasonable leasing commission if actually incurred by Tenant and
paid to a licensed real estate broker which is unaffiliated with Tenant). The
above notwithstanding, the rent due under this Lease shall in no event be
reduced.
19. Mechanic's Liens. Tenant covenants that it will not permit any
mechanic's lien or liens to be placed upon the Premises or the Building.
Nothing in this Lease shall be deemed or construed in any way as constituting
the consent or request of Landlord, express or implied, by inference or
otherwise, to any person for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of
any materials to the Premises, or any part thereof, nor as giving Tenant any
right, power, or authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any
services or the furnishing of any materials that would give rise to any
mechanic's or other liens against the Premises. In the event any such lien is
attached to the Premises and is not removed of record by payment or by bonding
in accordance with Georgia law within fifteen (15) days after the date Tenant
becomes aware of the same, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of
Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same. Any
amount paid by Landlord for any of the aforesaid purposes shall be paid by
Tenant to Landlord on demand as additional rent.
20. Property Insurance. Landlord shall maintain fire and extended
coverage insurance on the Building and the Premises in such amounts as
Landlord's mortgagees shall require. Such insurance shall be maintained at the
expense of Landlord (as a part of the Basic Costs), and payments for losses
thereunder shall be made solely to Landlord or the mortgagees of Landlord as
their interests shall appear. Tenant shall maintain at its expense, in an
amount equal to full replacement cost, fire and extended coverage insurance on
all of its personal property, including removable trade fixtures, located in
the Premises, in such additional amounts as are required to meet Tenant's
obligations pursuant to Paragraph 22 hereof. Tenant shall, at Landlord's
request from time to time, provide Landlord with current certificates of
insurance evidencing Tenant's compliance with this Paragraph 20 and Paragraph
21. Tenant shall obtain the agreement of Tenant's insurers to notify Landlord
that a policy is due to contain waiver of subrogation clauses as to the other
party.
21. Liability Insurance. Tenant and Landlord shall, each at its own
expense, maintain a policy or policies of comprehensive general liability
insurance with respect to the respective activities of each in the Building,
and the Exterior Common Areas (or within the project if the Building is located
in a multi-building project) with the premiums thereto fully paid on or before
due date, issued by and binding upon some insurance company approved by
Landlord, such insurance to afford minimum protection of not less than
$1,000,000.00 combined single limit coverage for death or bodily injury, and
$100,000.00 for property damage.
22. Indemnity. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, or to Tenant's
agents, servants, employees, customers, or invitees for any injury to person or
damage to property caused by any act, omission, or neglect of Tenant, its
agents, servants or employees, invitees, licensees or any other person entering
the Building under the invitation of Tenant or arising out of the use of the
Premises by Tenant and Tenant hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Landlord
harmless from all liability and claims for any such damage or injury. Tenant
shall not be liable to
-8-
46
Landlord or to the Landlord's agents, servants, employees, customers or
invitees for any injury to person or damage to property caused by any act,
omission or neglect of Landlord, its agents, servants or employees, and
Landlord hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Tenant harmless from all
liability and claims for any such injury or damage; provided, however, that the
foregoing indemnification of Landlord shall not be deemed or construed to deny
Landlord the benefit of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant for the
benefit of Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 21 above with respect to
any such claim or liability.
23. Waiver of Subrogation Rights. Anything in this Lease to the contrary
notwithstanding, Landlord and Tenant each hereby waives any and all rights of
recovery, claim, action, or cause of action, against the other, its agents,
officers, or employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the Premises,
or any improvements thereto, or the Building of which the Premises are a part,
or any improvements thereto, or any personal property of such party therein, by
reason of fire, the elements, or any other cause(s) which are insured against
under the terms of the standard fire and extended coverage insurance policies
referred to herein, regardless of cause or origin, including negligence of the
other party hereto, its agents, officers, or employees.
24. Casualty Damage. If the Premises or any part thereof shall be
damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give prompt written notice
thereof to Landlord. In case the Building shall be so damaged that, in
Landlord's good faith estimation, the time required to repair and reconstruct
the Building shall exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the
casualty (whether or not the Premises shall have been damaged by such
casualty), or in the event any mortgagee of Landlord's should require that the
insurance proceeds payable as a result of a casualty be applied to the payment
of the mortgage debt, or in the event of any material loss to the Building
that would not be covered by fire and extended coverage insurance commonly
carried for commercial properties such as the Building, Landlord may, at its
option, terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination
within sixty (60) days of the date of the casualty.
If Landlord does not thus elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall
commence and proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Building to
substantially the same condition in which it was immediately prior to the
happening of the casualty, except that Landlord shall not be required to spend
for such work an amount in excess of the insurance proceeds actually received
by Landlord as a result of the casualty.
Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant
or injury to the business of Tenant resulting in any way from such damage or
the repair thereof, except that, subject to the provisions of the next
sentence, Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportional diminution of rent during
the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy. If the
Premises or any other portion of the Building be damaged by fire or other
casualty resulting from the fault or negligence of Tenant or any of Tenant's
agents, employees, or invitees, the rent hereunder shall not be diminished
during the repair of such damage and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for the
cost of the repair and restoration of the Building caused thereby to the extent
such cost and expense is not covered by insurance proceeds.
25. Condemnation. If the whole or substantially the whole of the
Building or the Premises should be taken for any public or quasi-public use, by
right of eminent domain or otherwise, or should be sold in lieu of
condemnation, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date when physical
possession of
-9-
47
the Building or the Premises is taken by the condemning authority. If less than
the whole or substantially the whole of the Building or the Premises is thus
taken or sold, Landlord (whether or not the Premises are affected thereby) may
terminate this Lease by giving written notice thereof to Tenant; in which event
this Lease shall terminate as of the date when physical possession of such
portion of the Building or Premises is taken by the condemning authority. If
this Lease is not so terminated upon any such taking or sale, the Base Rental
payable hereunder shall be diminished by an equitable amount, and Landlord
shall restore the Building and the Premises as much as possible to substantially
their former condition, to the extent condemnation proceeds are made available
by the holder of any mortgage or deed to secure debt on the Building, but
Landlord shall in no event be required to spend for such work an amount in
excess of the amount received by Landlord as compensation for such damage. All
amounts awarded upon a taking of any part or all of the Building or the
Premises shall belong to Landlord, and Tenant shall not be entitled to and
expressly waives all claims to any such compensation.
26. Damages from Certain Causes. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant
for any loss or damage to any property or person occasioned by theft, fire,
act of God, public enemy, injunction, riot, strike, insurrection, war, casualty,
water damage of whatsoever nature, vandalism, court order, requisition, or
order of governmental body or authority or by any other cause beyond the
control of Landlord, nor shall Landlord be liable for any damage or
inconvenience which may arise through repair or alteration of any part of the
Building, Exterior Common Areas, or Premises so long as Tenant continues to
have access to and from the Premises (unless such continued access during such
repair would endanger persons in the Premises).
27. Events of Default/Remedies.
(a) The following events shall be deemed to be events of default by Tenant
under this Lease: (i) Tenant shall fail to promptly pay any rent or other sum of
money due hereunder within five (5) days after receipt of written notice from
Landlord to Tenant of such failure; (ii) Tenant shall fail to comply with any
other provision of this Lease within thirty (30) days after receipt of written
notice from Landlord to Tenant of such failure or, if such failure shall be
incapable of cure within thirty (30) days, Tenant shall not commence to cure
such failure within such thirty (30) day period and continuously prosecute the
performance of the same to completion with due diligence; (iii) the leasehold
hereunder demised shall be taken on execution or other process of law in any
action against Tenant; (iv) a default or event of default shall occur under that
certain Lease dated August 29, 1984 between Landlord and Tenant, as amended by
the ten (10) amendments thereof existing as of the date of this Lease, and as
thereafter amended; (v) Tenant shall fail to promptly move into and take
possession of the Premises when the Premises are ready for occupancy, or shall
abandon any substantial portion of the Premises; (vi) Tenant shall become
insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they become due, or Tenant notifies
Landlord that it anticipates either condition; (vii) Tenant takes any action to,
or notifies Landlord that Tenant intends to file a petition under section or
chapter of the National Bankruptcy Act, as amended, or under any similar law or
statute of the United States or any state thereof; or a petition shall be filed
against Tenant under any such statute; or (viii) a receiver or trustee shall be
appointed for Tenant's leasehold interest in the Premises or for all or a
substantial part of the assets of Tenant. If Landlord shall not be permitted to
terminate this Lease as hereinabove provided because of the provisions of Title
II, of the United States Code relating to Bankruptcy as amended ("Bankruptcy
Code"), then Tenant or any trustee for Tenant agrees promptly, within no more
than sixty (60) days upon request by Landlord to the Bankruptcy Court, to assume
or reject this Lease. In such
-10-
48
event, Tenant or any trustee of Tenant may assume this Lease only if it (i)
cures or provides adequate assurance that the trustee will promptly cure any
default hereunder, and (ii) compensates or provides adequate assurance that
Tenant will promptly compensate Landlord for any actual pecuniary loss to
Landlord resulting from Tenant's default.
(b) Upon the occurrence of any event or events of default by Tenant,
whether enumerated in this Paragraph or not, Landlord shall have the option to
pursue any one or more of the following remedies without being deemed to have
made an election of remedies and without any further notice or demand for
possession whatsoever (and without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Tenant hereby specifically waives notice and demand for payment of rent or
other obligations due and waives any and all other notices or demand
requirements imposed by applicable law); (i) terminate this Lease in which
Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord; (ii) terminate
Tenant's right to occupy the Premises (without terminating this Lease); (iii)
enter upon the Premises and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the
terms of this Lease; and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for any
expenses which Landlord may incur in effecting compliance with Tenant's
obligations under this Lease; and (iv) exercise all other remedies available to
Landlord at law or in equity, including, without limitation, injunctive relief
of all varieties.
In the event Landlord elects to reenter or take possession of the Premises
after Tenant's default, Tenant hereby waives notice of such reentry or
repossession and of Landlord's intent to reenter or retake possession, Landlord
may, without prejudice to any other remedy which he may have for possession or
arrearages in rent, expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be
occupying said Premises or any part thereof. All Landlord's remedies shall be
cumulative and not exclusive. Forbearance to enforce one or more of the
remedies herein provided upon an event of default shall not be deemed or
construed to constitute a waiver of such default, or of any future defaults, or
to limit Landlord's right to require strict compliance by Tenant with the
provisions of this Lease.
(c) Tenant hereby covenants that, prior to the exercise of any such
remedies, it will give the mortgagees holding mortgages on the Building notice
and a reasonable time to cure any default by Landlord provided Tenant has been
furnished with the name and address of such mortgagees.
(d) If this Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of
Paragraph 27, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages, either:
(i) a sum which represents the then excess, if any, of (a) the
aggregate amount of the rental due and reserved hereunder from the date of
Tenant's default to the expiration date of the fully stated term hereof
over (b) the aggregate rental value of the Premises for the same period as
reduced by the estimated cost of reletting the Premises, including
attorneys' fees, commission, alterations and repair costs; or
(ii) sums equal to the rent which would have been payable by Tenant
had this Lease not been so terminated, or had Landlord not so reentered the
Premises, payable upon the due dates therefor specified herein, provided,
however, that if Landlord shall relet the Premises during said period,
Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents received by Landlord from
such reletting such net rents to be determined by first deducting from the
gross rents as and when received by Landlord from such reletting the
expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this Lease and/or in
-11-
49
reentering the Premises and in securing possession thereof, as well as the
expenses of reletting, including, without limitation, altering and
preparing the Premises for new tenants, brokers' commissions, legal fees,
and all other expenses properly chargeable against the Premises and the
rental therefrom, it being understood that any such reletting may be for a
period shorter or longer than the remaining term of this Lease; but in no
event shall Tenant be entitled to a credit for any net rents from a
reletting, except to the extent set forth hereinabove.
In the event of such termination of this Lease by Landlord as set forth
above, Landlord shall make reasonable good faith efforts to mitigate its
damages, but "reasonable good faith efforts" shall be deemed to have been made
if Landlord includes the Premises within Landlord's customary marketing
activities for Landlord's other vacant space in the Building. Nothing contained
herein shall require Landlord to give priority or preference to re-letting the
Premises ahead of other vacant space (either in the Building or in other
Buildings) owned or controlled by Landlord or its affiliates.
28. Peaceful Enjoyment. Tenant shall, and may peacefully have, hold, and
enjoy the Premises, subject to the other terms hereof, provided that Tenant
pays the rent and other sums herein recited to be paid by Tenant and performs
all of Tenant's covenants and agreements herein contained. This covenant and
any and all other covenants of Landlord shall be binding upon Landlord and its
successors only with respect to breaches occurring during its or their
respective period of ownership of the Building.
29. Surrender of Premises. Upon termination of this Lease for any reason
whatsoever, Tenant shall surrender the premises and keys thereof to Landlord in
the same condition as at commencement of the term, natural wear and tear only
excepted. Should Tenant refuse or fail to surrender the Premises upon the
expiration of the lease term or earlier termination thereof, Tenant shall be a
tenant at sufferance and shall pay to Landlord on demand each month a sum equal
to 135% of the rent due hereunder during such holdover period; provided that
there shall be no renewal of this Lease by operation of law.
If Tenant remains in possession after the expiration of the term hereof
with Landlord's acquiescence and without any distinct agreement of parties,
Tenant shall be a tenant at will, and there shall be no renewal of this Lease
by operation of law. Notwithstanding the notice provision of O.C.G.A. Section
44-7-7, as the same may be now or hereafter amended, such tenancy at will may
be terminated upon sixty (60) days notice from Landlord.
30. Subordination, Estoppel, Attornment. This Lease shall be subject and
subordinate to any mortgage, deed to secure debt or other lien presently
existing or hereafter arising upon the Premises or upon the Building, or the
exterior Common Areas, and to any renewals, refinancing and extensions thereof
(each, a "Mortgage"). At the request of any successor to the title or interests
of Landlord, Tenant shall attorn to such successor. The subordination of this
Lease to any Mortgage, and the attornment of Tenant to the holder of any
Mortgagee, is conditioned upon an express agreement contained in such Mortgage,
or in a separate instrument to be recorded, that enforcement of such Mortgage
shall not terminate this Lease or disturb Tenant in the possession and use of
the Premises (except in the case where Tenant is in default beyond the period,
if any, provided in this Lease to remedy such default), that any party
succeeding to the interest of Landlord as a result of the enforcement of any
Mortgage shall be bound to Tenant, and Tenant shall be bound to it, under all
the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease for the balance of the term
of this Lease with the same force and
-12-
50
effect as if such party were the original Landlord under this Lease; provided,
however, that such party shall not be liable (i) for any act or omission of any
prior landlord, or (ii) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant may
have had against any prior landlord, or (iii) bound by any monies which Tenant
might have paid for more than the current month's rent or any prepaid estimates
of the Excess to any prior landlord, or (iv) bound by any amendment or
modification of this Lease made without the prior written consent of the holder
of the Mortgage. Upon the request of Landlord, Tenant agrees to execute a
subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement incorporating the
provisions set forth above and otherwise in form reasonably acceptable to
Landlord and Tenant. Tenant agrees that it will from time to time upon request
by Landlord execute and deliver to such persons as Landlord shall request a
statement in recordable form certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in
full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in
full force and effect as so modified), stating the dates to which rent and
other charges payable under this Lease have been paid, stating that Landlord is
not in default hereunder (or if Tenant alleges a default stating the nature of
such alleged default) and further stating such other matters as may be
reasonably requested.
31. No Implied Waiver. The failure of Landlord to insist at any time upon
the strict performance of any covenant or agreement or to exercise any option,
right, power or remedy contained in this Lease shall not be construed as a
waiver or a relinquishment thereof for the future. No payment by Tenant or
receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly installment of rent due
under this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest
rent due hereunder, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any
letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and
satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to
Landlord's right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy
in this lease provided.
32. Security Deposit. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].
33. Notice. Any notice in this Lease provided for must be in writing, and
may be given or be served either by depositing the same in the United States
mail, postpaid and certified and addressed to the party to be notified, with
return receipt requested, or by actually delivering the same addressed to the
party to be notified at the address stated below or at such other address as may
from time to time be designated by addressee by notice given in accordance
herewith. Notice deposited in the mail in the manner hereinabove described shall
be deemed received upon the date of receipt as indicated on the return receipt.
In the event delivery by mail cannot be made or is refused, the date of mailing
shall be deemed to be the date of receipt of the notice.
34. Severability. If any term or provision of this Lease, or the
application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent be
invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of
such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which
it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each
term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforced to the fullest
extent permitted by law.
35. Governing Law. This lease and the rights and obligations of the
parties hereto shall be interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with
the laws of the State of Georgia.
36. Force Majeure. Whenever a period of time is herein prescribed for the
taking of any action by Landlord,
13
51
Landlord shall not be liable or responsible for, and there shall be excluded
from the computation of such period of time, any delays due to strikes, riots,
fire, acts of God, shortages of labor or materials, war, governmental laws,
regulations or restrictions, or any other cause whatsoever beyond the control
of Landlord.
37. Time Of The Essence. Time is of the essence of this Lease.
38. Transfers By Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to transfer and
assign, in whole or in part, all its rights and obligations hereunder and in the
Building and property referred to herein, and in such event and upon such
transfer Landlord shall be released from any further obligations hereunder, and
Tenant agrees to look solely to such successor in interest of Landlord for the
performance of such obligations.
39. Commissions. Landlord and Tenant hereby indemnify and hold each other
harmless against any loss, claim, expense or liability with respect to any
commissions or brokerage fees claimed on account of the execution and/or renewal
of this lease due to any action of the indemnifying party.
40. Liability. Landlord shall have no personal liability with respect to
its obligations under this Lease. Tenant shall look solely to Landlord's equity
in the Building and exterior Common Areas for satisfaction of Tenant's remedies.
In no event shall Landlord's liability exceed such equity.
41. Hazardous Substances. Tenant shall not cause or permit any hazardous,
toxic or dangerous substances (as defined or described in any applicable
federal, state or local statute, law, ordinance, code, rule, regulation, order
or decree regulating, relating to, or imposing liability or standards of conduct
concerning hazardous, toxic or dangerous substances) to be brought upon, kept or
used in or about the Premises or the Building. Tenant shall indemnify and hold
Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, judgments, demands,
penalties, fines, losses and costs and expenses incurred by Landlord during or
after the term of this Lease as a result of such hazardous, toxic or dangerous
substances that Tenant causes or permits to be brought upon, kept or used in or
about the Premises or the Building during the term of this Lease. Landlord
represents to Tenant, to Landlord's actual knowledge and based solely upon
Landlord's review of its existing Phase I environmental audit of the Building
prepared by BCM, dated February 1991, that no radon, asbestos or other material
defined as hazardous under any existing applicable local, state or federal laws
or regulations as of the date hereof is contained within the Premises of the
Building or upon the land on which the Building is located.
42. Option With Respect To Basement Space. Tenant shall have the option to
lease from Landlord, commencing on November 1, 1994, approximately 5,230 square

shall be payable in advance in equal monthly installments in the same manner as
Base Rent is paid. Such option may be exercised by Tenant's giving written
notice to Landlord at any time on or before October 1, 1994. In the event Tenant
so exercises the option contained in this paragraph, Tenant shall have the right
at any time after November 1, 1994, by written notice to Landlord, to cancel
Tenant's use of such basement space upon no less than ninety (90) days prior
written notice to Landlord.
43. Satellite Dish. The provisions attached hereto as Exhibit "D" regarding
Tenant's satellite dish are incorporated herein by reference.

Xxxxxxx 00000 (the "Building") for a term commencing on September 1, 1991 and
expiring on August 31, 2001 (the "Term");
WHEREAS, Tenant has vacated the Suite 410 Space and is occupying space in lieu
thereof commonly known as Suite 260 of the Building, which space is depicted on
Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained
herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Relocation of Tenant. The Lease shall be amended to delete the Suite 410
Space from the Premises and to substitute in lieu thereof the Suite 260
Space as part of the Premises. Page (iii) of Exhibit "A" shall be deleted

substituted therefor. The square footage of the Premises shall remain the
same and Tenant's rental rate, except as otherwise provided below, shall
remain the same as set forth in the Lease.
2. Expansion Option. Paragraph 42 of the Lease shall be amended to reflect
that Tenant shall have the option (the "Expansion Option") to lease up to

configuration which would leave the remaining Basement Space unusable by
Landlord; (ii) Tenant's exercise of the Expansion Option shall be
contingent upon Landlord's prior written approval of the proposed
configuration of the portion of the Basement Space which will be taken by
Tenant; and (iii) all costs, including labor and material, of constructing

2001, the Premises shall be expanded to include additional space consisting
of 632 rentable square feet of space located in Suite 120 of the Building
(the "Telephone Room"). Exhibit "B" attached to this First Amendment
depicts Suite 120, the Telephone Room. The rental rate for the Telephone
Room shall be $12.00 per rentable square foot, resulting in an annual
payment of Seven Thousand, Five Hundred Eighty-four Dollars ($7,584.00)
(the "Additional Rent"), which may be paid in monthly installments of Six
Hundred Thirty-two Dollars ($632.00). The monthly installments of
Additional Rent shall be due and payable in addition to Tenant's monthly
installment of base rental, in conformance with the terms and conditions of
Paragraph 2 of the Lease. With the exception of the calculation of rent
owed by Tenant for the Telephone Room, Tenant's lease of the Telephone Room
will be subject to all terms and conditions of the Lease. Tenant accepts
the Telephone Room in its "as is" present condition.
4. Entire Agreement. This First Amendment contains the entire agreement of
Landlord and Tenant with respect to the matters addressed herein.
5. Lease in Effect. Except as provided herein, all other terms and conditions
of the Lease shall continue in full force and effect.
