hereinafter stated, does hereby rent and lease unto Tenant, and Tenant does
hereby rent and lease from Landlord, certain premises (the "Demised Premises")
in the building (hereinafter referred to as "Building") located on that certain
tract of land (the "Land") more particularly described on Exhibit "A" attached
hereto and by this reference made a part hereof, which Demised Premises are
outlined in red or crosshatched on the floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit "B"
and by this reference made a part hereof, with no easement for light, view or
air included in the Demised Premises or being granted hereunder. The "Project"
is comprised of the Building, the Land, the Building's parking facilities, any
walkways, covered walkways, tunnels or other means of access to the Building and
the Building's parking facilities, all common areas, including any lobbies or
plazas, and any other improvements or landscaping on the Land. The Project is
located in the development known as "Wildwood Office Park".
3. Term. The term of this Lease ("Lease Term") shall commence on the date
first hereinabove set forth, and, unless sooner terminated as provided in this
Lease, shall end on the expiration of the period designated in Article 1(i)
above, which period shall commence on the Rental Commencement Date, unless the
Rental Commencement Date shall be other than the first day of a calendar month,
in which event such period shall commence on the first day of the calendar month
following the month in which the Rental Commencement Date occurs. Promptly after
the Rental Commencement Date Landlord shall send to Tenant a Supplemental Notice
in
2
6
the form of Exhibit "C" attached hereto and by this reference made a part
hereof, specifying the Rental Commencement Date, the date of expiration of the
Lease Term in accordance with Article 1(i) above and certain other matters as
therein set forth.
4. Possession. The obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the
initial leasehold improvements to the Demised Premises are set forth in Exhibit
"D" attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof. Taking of
possession by Tenant shall be deemed conclusively to establish that Landlord's
construction obligations with respect to the Demised Premises have been
completed in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord
and Tenant and that the Demised Premises, to the extent of Landlord's
construction obligations with respect thereto, are in good and satisfactory
condition, subject to completion of any incomplete or corrective items specified
in a "punch list" approved by Landlord and Tenant.
5. Rental Payments.
(a) Commencing on the Rental Commencement Date, and continuing
thereafter throughout the Lease Term, Tenant hereby agrees to pay all
Rent due and payable under this Lease. As used in this Lease, the term
"Rent" shall mean the Base Rental, Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental,
Tenant's Additional Rental, and any other amounts that Tenant assumes or
agrees to pay under the provisions of this Lease that are owed to
Landlord, including without limitation any and all other sums that may
become due by reason of any default of Tenant or failure on Tenant's part
to comply with the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions of this
Lease to be performed by Tenant. Base Rental together with Tenant's
Forecast Additional Rental shall be due and payable in twelve (12) equal
installments on the first day of each calendar month, commencing on the
Rental Commencement Date and continuing thereafter throughout the Lease
Term and any extensions or renewals thereof, and Tenant hereby agrees to
pay such Rent to Landlord at Landlord's address as provided herein (or
such other address as may be designated in writing by Landlord from time
to time) monthly in advance. Tenant shall pay all Rent and other sums of
money as shall become due from and payable by Tenant to Landlord under
this Lease at the times and in the manner provided in this Lease, without
demand, set-off or counterclaim.
(b) If the Rental Commencement Date is other than the first day of
a calendar month or if this Lease terminates on other than the last day
of a calendar month, then the installments of Base Rental and Tenant's
Forecast Additional Rental for such month or months shall be prorated on
a daily basis and the installment or installments so prorated shall be
paid in advance. Also, if the Rental Commencement Date occurs on other
than the first day of a calendar year, or if this Lease expires or is
terminated on other than the last day of a calendar year, Tenant's
Additional Rental shall be prorated for such commencement or termination
year, as the case may be, by multiplying such Tenant's Additional Rental
by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days of the
Lease Term (from and after the Rental Commencement Date) during the
commencement or expiration or termination year, as the case may be, and
the
3
7
denominator of which shall be 365, and the calculation described in
Article 8 hereof shall be made as soon as possible after the expiration
or termination of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant hereby agreeing that
the provisions relating to said calculation shall survive the expiration
or termination of this Lease.
(c) As security for Tenant's obligations to take possession of the
Demised Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease and to comply
with all of Tenant's covenants, warranties and agreements hereunder,
Tenant has deposited with Landlord the sum set forth in Article 1(l)
above. Such amount shall be applied by Landlord to the first monthly
installment(s) of Base Rental as they become due hereunder. In the event
Tenant fails to take possession of the Demised Premises as aforesaid or
otherwise fails to comply with any of Tenant's covenants, warranties or
agreements hereunder, said sum shall be retained by Landlord for
application in reduction, but not in satisfaction, of damages suffered by
Landlord as a result of such breach by Tenant. Landlord shall not be
required to keep such deposit separate from its general accounts.
6. Base Rental. Subject to adjustments in accordance with Article 7
below, from and after the Rental Commencement Date Tenant shall pay to Landlord
a base annual rental (herein called "Base Rental") equal to the Base Rental Rate
set forth in Article 1(j) above multiplied by the Rentable Floor Area of Demised
Premises set forth in Article 1(g) above.
7. Rent Escalation.
(a) As used in this Article 7, the term "Lease Year" shall mean
the twelve month period commencing on the Rental Commencement Date, or,
if the Rental Commencement Date is not on the first day of a calendar
month, commencing on the first day of the first calendar month following
the Rental Commencement Date, and each successive twelve month period
thereafter during the Lease Term. The term "Subsequent Year" shall mean
each Lease Year of the Lease Term following the first Lease Year. The
term "Prior Year" shall mean the Lease Year prior to each Subsequent
Year. The term "Index" shall mean the Consumer Price Index for all Urban
Consumers (U.S. City Average; Base 1982-84=100), published by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor. The term
"Base Month" shall mean the calendar month which is two (2) months prior
to the month during which this Lease is fully executed by Landlord and
Tenant. The term "Comparison Month" shall mean the calendar month which
is two (2) months prior to the first full month of each Subsequent Year
in question.
(b) On the first day of each Subsequent Year, the Base Rental Rate
shall be increased to an amount equal to the Base Rental Rate for the
first Lease Year ($15.80) as set forth in Article 1(j) above, plus an
amount equal to the product of ten (10) times the percentage increase in
the Index for the Comparison Month as compared to the Index for the Base
Month, multiplied by the Base Rental Rate for the first Lease Year
($15.80); provided, however, in no event shall the Base Rental Rate for a
Subsequent Year be less than the Base Rental Rate applicable to the Prior
Year and in no event shall the Base
4
8
Rental Rate for the Subsequent Year be greater than the following amounts
for the Lease Years shown:
Second Lease Year $16.27
Third Lease Year $16.76
Fourth Lease Year $17.27
Fifth Lease Year $17.78
(c) If the Bureau of Labor Statistics should discontinue the
publication of the Index, or publish the same less frequently, or alter
the same in some manner, then Landlord shall adopt a substitute Index or
substitute procedure which reasonably reflects and monitors consumer
prices.
8. Additional Rental.
(a) For purposes of this Lease, "Tenant's Forecast Additional
Rental" shall mean Landlord's reasonable estimate of Tenant's Additional
Rental for the coming calendar year or portion thereof. If at any time it
appears to Landlord, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, that Tenant's
Additional Rental for the current calendar year will vary from Landlord's
estimate by more than five percent (5%), Landlord shall have the right to
revise, by written notice to Tenant, its estimate for such year, and
subsequent payments by Tenant for such year shall be based upon such
revised estimate of Tenant's Additional Rental. Failure to make a
revision contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence shall not
prejudice Landlord's right to collect the full amount of Tenant's
Additional Rental. Prior to the Rental Commencement Date and thereafter
prior to the beginning of each calendar year during the Lease Term,
including any extensions thereof, Landlord shall present to Tenant a
statement of Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental for such calendar year;
provided, however, that if such statement is not given prior to the
beginning of any calendar year as aforesaid, Tenant shall continue to pay
during the next ensuing calendar year on the basis of the amount of
Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental payable during the calendar year just
ended until the month after such statement is delivered to Tenant.
(b) For purposes of this Lease, "Tenant's Additional Rental" shall
mean for each calendar year (or portion thereof) the Operating Expense
Amount (defined below) multiplied by the number of square feet of
Rentable Floor Area of Demised Premises. As used herein, "Operating
Expense Amount" shall mean an amount equal to (x) plus (y), where:
(x) equals the amount of Operating Expenses (as defined below) for
such calendar year divided by the greater of (i) 95% of the number
of square feet of Rentable Floor Area of the Building, or (ii) the
total number of square feet of Rentable Floor Area occupied in the
Building for such calendar year on an average annualized basis;
provided, however, if the Operating Expenses actually
5
9
incurred by Landlord are lower than would be incurred if at least
95% of the Building were occupied or if Landlord shall not furnish
any particular item(s) of work or services (the cost of which
would otherwise be included within Operating Expenses) to portions
of the Building because (A) such portions are not occupied, (B)
such item of work or services is not required or desired by the
tenant of such portion, (C) such tenant is itself obtaining such
item of work or services, or (D) of any other reason, then
appropriate adjustments shall be made to determine Operating
Expenses for such calendar year as though the Building were
actually occupied to the extent of the greater of (i) or (ii)
above and as though Landlord had furnished such item of work or
services to the greater of (i) or (ii) above; and
(y) equals a management fee contribution equal to three percent
(3%) of Tenant's Base Rental (on a per square foot basis) plus
three percent (3%) of the per square foot amount described in (x).
(c)(i) Within one hundred fifty (150) days after the end of the
calendar year in which the Rental Commencement Date occurs and of
each calendar year thereafter during the Lease Term, or as soon
thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall provide Tenant an
itemized statement showing the Operating Expenses for said
calendar year, as prepared by a certified public accounting firm
designated by Landlord, and a statement prepared by Landlord
comparing Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental with Tenant's
Additional Rental. In the event Tenant's Forecast Additional
Rental exceeds Tenant's Additional Rental for said calendar year,
Landlord shall credit such amount against Rent next due hereunder
or, if the Lease Term has expired or is about to expire, refund
such excess to Tenant within thirty (30) days if Tenant is not in
default under this Lease (in the instance of a default such excess
shall be held as additional security for Tenant's performance, may
be applied by Landlord to cure any such default, and shall not be
refunded until any such default is cured). In the event that the
Tenant's Additional Rental exceeds Tenant's Forecast Additional
Rental for said calendar year, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within
thirty (30) days of receipt of the statement, an amount equal to
such difference. The provisions of this Lease concerning the
payment or refund of Tenant's Additional Rental shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
(ii) If Tenant has not received a Statement of Operating Expenses
by the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in
which said statement is due from Landlord, it shall be
conclusively presumed that Landlord has waived its claim against
Tenant for Tenant's share of any additional Operating Expenses
that would have been set forth in such statement, except for any
Operating Expenses which are adjusted or billed to Landlord by a
third-party after such period would have otherwise expired, which
Operating Expenses may be billed by Landlord within eighteen (18)
months of the receipt of such xxxx or adjustment by Landlord.
6
10
(d) For so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease,
Landlord's books and records pertaining to the calculation of Operating
Expenses for any calendar year within the Lease Term may be audited by an
authorized representative of Tenant at Tenant's expense, at any time
within twelve (12) months after the end of each such calendar year;
provided that Tenant shall give Landlord not less than twenty (20) days'
prior written notice of any such audit. For purposes hereof, an
authorized representative of Tenant shall mean a bona fide employee of
Tenant, any of the "big six" accounting firms, or any other party
reasonably approved in writing by Landlord. In no event shall an
authorized representative of Tenant include the owner of any office
building in the metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia area or any affiliate of
such owner. Prior to the commencement of such audit, Tenant shall cause
its authorized representative to agree in writing for the benefit of
Landlord that such representative will keep the results of the audit
confidential and that such representative will not disclose or divulge
the results of such audit except to Tenant and Landlord and except in
connection with any dispute between Landlord and Tenant relating to
Operating Expenses. Such audit shall be conducted during reasonable
business hours at Landlord's office where Landlord's books and records
are maintained. If Tenant causes a written audit report to be prepared by
its authorized representative following any such audit, Tenant shall
provide Landlord with a copy of such report promptly after receipt
thereof by Tenant. If Landlord's calculation of Tenant's Additional
Rental for the audited calendar year was incorrect, then Tenant shall be
entitled to a prompt refund of any overpayment or Tenant shall promptly
pay to Landlord the amount of any underpayment, as the case may be. If
Landlord's books and records show an over-billing by Landlord of five
percent (5%) or more to Tenant, Landlord shall pay all reasonable costs
incurred by Tenant in performing such inspection and/or audit, up to, but
not in excess of, Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($500.00).
9. Operating Expenses.
(a) For the purposes of this Lease, "Operating Expenses" shall
mean all expenses, costs and disbursements (but not specific costs billed
to specific tenants of the Building) of every kind and nature, computed
on the accrual basis, relating to or incurred or paid in connection with
the ownership, management, operation, repair and maintenance of the
Project, including but not limited to, the following:
(1) wages, salaries and other costs of all on-site and

including business license taxes and fees, excluding, however, taxes and
assessments imposed on the personal property of the tenants of the
Project, federal and state taxes on income, death taxes, franchise taxes,
and any taxes (other than business license taxes and fees) imposed or

improvements in the Demised Premises to the extent that the same exceed
Building Standard allowances, if said taxes are based upon an assessment
which includes the cost of such leasehold improvements in excess of
Building Standard allowances (and if the taxing authorities do not

12
Landlord may make an appropriate allocation of the ad valorem taxes

9
13
Landlord shall not employ or contract with any affiliated entity in the
performance of any work or services which are included in Operating
Expenses unless the cost of same is no greater than the reasonable cost
of same if such work or services were provided by a non-affiliated entity
of the same or similar quality and reputation as the entity affiliated
with Landlord. For the purposes of this provision, an "affiliated entity"
shall include (i) an entity owned by Landlord or any principal of
Landlord, or (ii) any person or entity having common ownership or control

installments based on amortization; and (ii) any maintenance or repair or
operating service or work procured by Landlord for the Project shall be

reduced by the amounts of any reimbursement, refund or credit actually
received by Landlord with respect to any item of cost that is included in

air conditioning and electricity. If any such reimbursement, refund or
credit is actually received or receivable by Landlord in a later year, it

any tenant (including Tenant) at such tenant's cost;
(2) the cost of installing, operating and maintaining any
specialty service, such as an observatory, broadcasting facility,

general office space;
(3) the cost of correcting defects in construction;
(4) compensation paid to officers and executives of
Landlord (but it is understood that the office park manager, the on-site
building manager and other on-site employees below the grade of building
manager may carry a title such as vice president and the salaries and
related benefits of these officers/employees of Landlord would be
allowable Operating Expenses under Article 9[a][1] above);
10
14
(5) the cost of any items for which Landlord is reimbursed
by insurance, condemnation or otherwise, except for costs reimbursed
pursuant to provisions similar to Articles 8 and 9 hereof;
(6) the cost of any additions, changes, replacements and
other items which are made in order to prepare for a new tenant's

underlying lease;

(11) any advertising expenses incurred in connection with
the marketing of any rentable space;

(14) legal expenses arising out of the construction of the
improvements on the Land or the enforcement of the provisions of any
lease affecting the Land or Building, including without limitation this
Lease; and
(15) management fees (Tenant's obligation for a management
fee contribution is set forth in Article 8[b][y] above).
10. Tenant Taxes; Rent Taxes. Tenant shall pay promptly when due all
taxes directly or indirectly imposed or assessed upon Tenant's gross sales,
business operations, machinery, equipment, trade fixtures and other personal
property or assets, whether such taxes are assessed against Tenant, Landlord or
the Building. In the event that such taxes are imposed or assessed against
Landlord or the Building Landlord, within thirty (30) days after receipt, shall
furnish
11
15
Tenant with all applicable tax bills, public charges and other assessments or
impositions and Tenant shall forthwith pay the same directly to the taxing
authority, with reasonable evidence of such payment provided to Landlord. In
addition, in the event there is imposed at any time a tax upon and/or measured
by the rental payable by Tenant under this Lease, whether by way of a sales or
use tax or otherwise, Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of such tax
and shall pay the same on or prior to the due date thereof; provided, however,
that the foregoing shall not include any inheritance, estate, succession,
transfer, gift or income tax imposed on or payable by Landlord.
11. Payments. All payments of Rent and other payments to be made to
Landlord shall be made on a timely basis and shall be payable to Landlord or as
Landlord may otherwise designate in writing. All such payments shall be mailed
or delivered to Landlord's Address designated in Article 1(b) above or at such
other place as Landlord may designate from time to time in writing. If mailed,
all payments shall be mailed in sufficient time and with adequate postage
thereon to be received in Landlord's account by no later than the due date for
such payment. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord Fifty Dollars ($50.00) for each
check presented to Landlord in payment of any obligation of Tenant which is not
paid by the bank on which it is drawn, together with interest from and after the
due date for such payment at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum on the
amount due.
12. Late Charges. Any Rent or other amounts payable to Landlord under
this Lease, if not paid by the fifth day of the month for which such Rent is
due, or by the due date specified on any invoices from Landlord for any other
amounts payable hereunder, shall incur a late charge of Fifty Dollars ($50.00)
for Landlord's administrative expense in processing such delinquent payment and
in addition thereto shall bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per
annum from and after the due date for such payment. In no event shall the rate
of interest payable on any late payment exceed the legal limits for such
interest enforceable under applicable law.
13. Use Rules. The Demised Premises shall be used for any lawful use, but
subject to and in accordance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations of governmental authorities, any limitations or restrictions imposed
by other tenants or users of the Building from time, and the Rules and
Regulations attached hereto and made a part hereof. The occupancy rate of the
Demised Premises shall in no event be more than one (1) person per 200 square
feet of Rentable Floor Area within the Demised Premises. Tenant covenants and
agrees to abide by the Rules and Regulations in all respects as now set forth
and attached hereto or as hereafter promulgated by Landlord; provided, however,
that Landlord shall provide Tenant with at least thirty (30) days prior written
notice of any such new Rule and Regulation, and no such new Rule and Regulation
shall materially and adversely affect Tenant's rights hereunder. Landlord shall
have the right at all times during the Lease Term to publish and promulgate and
thereafter enforce such reasonable, uniform and non-discriminatory rules and
regulations or changes in the existing Rules and Regulations as it may
reasonably deem necessary in its sole discretion to protect the tenantability,
safety, operation, and welfare of the Demised Premises, the Project and Wildwood
Office Park.
12
16
14. Alterations. Except for any initial improvement of the Demised
Premises pursuant to Exhibit "D", which shall be governed by the provisions of
said Exhibit "D", Tenant shall not make, suffer or permit to be made any
alterations, additions or improvements to or of the Demised Premises or any part
thereof, or attach any fixtures or equipment thereto, without first obtaining
Landlord's written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. Any such alterations, additions or improvements to the
Demised Premises consented to by Landlord shall be made by either (i) a
contractor selected by Tenant and consented to by Landlord (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord), or (ii) by
Landlord or under Landlord's supervision for Tenant's account, and Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for all costs thereof (including a reasonable charge for
Landlord's overhead), as Rent, within ten (10) days after receipt of a
statement. All such alterations, additions and improvements shall become
Landlord's property at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term
and shall remain on the Demised Premises without compensation to Tenant unless
Landlord elects by notice to Tenant to have Tenant remove such alterations,
additions and improvements, in which event, notwithstanding any contrary
provisions respecting such alterations, additions and improvements contained in
Article 32 hereof, Tenant shall promptly restore, at its sole cost and expense,
the Demised Premises to its condition prior to the installation of such
alterations, additions and improvements, normal wear and tear excepted.
Notwithstanding the above, Tenant shall be entitled to make non-structural
alterations which do not affect the Building systems, so long as such
alterations do not exceed Ten Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) in cost
with notice to, but without the need for the prior consent of, Landlord. In such
event, Tenant shall provide Landlord with the as-built plans of such
alterations, if any are prepared.
15. Repairs.
(a) Landlord shall maintain in good order and repair (as compared
to other first-class properties of similar quality in the area of the
Building), subject to normal wear and tear and subject to casualty and
condemnation, the Building (excluding the Demised Premises and other
portions of the Building leased to other tenants), the Building parking
facilities, the public areas and the landscaped areas. Notwithstanding
the foregoing obligation, the cost of any repairs or maintenance to the
foregoing necessitated by the intentional acts or gross negligence of
Tenant or its agents, contractors, employees, invitees, licensees,
tenants or assigns, shall be borne solely by Tenant and shall be deemed
Rent hereunder and shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord within
thirty (30) days of written demand. Landlord shall not be required to
make any repairs or improvements to the Demised Premises except
structural repairs necessary for safety and tenantability. Landlord shall
keep in good order and repair the roof, floor slab, gutters, downspouts,
drains and leaders, load bearing structures and exterior walls of the
Premises, all utility lines and systems up to their point of entry into
the Premises, and all lines and systems within the Premises that do not
exclusively serve the Premises.
(b) Tenant covenants and agrees that it will take good care of the
Demised Premises and all alterations, additions and improvements thereto
and will keep and
13
17
maintain the same in good condition and repair, except for normal wear
and tear. Tenant shall as soon as reasonably practical report, in
writing, to Landlord any defective or dangerous condition known to
Tenant. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby waives all
rights to make repairs at the expense of Landlord as may be provided by
any law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect. Landlord has no
obligation and has made no promise to alter, remodel, improve, repair,
decorate or paint the Demised Premises or any part thereof, except as
specifically and expressly herein set forth.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this
Lease, Landlord shall make all necessary repairs and replacements to the
fire protection sprinklers and systems serving the Demised Premises, all
utility lines and systems up to their point of entry into the Demised
Premises and all pipes, conduits, wires and other lines running through
the Demised Premises which do not exclusively serve the Demised Premises,
with the cost thereof bring an Operating Expense, to the extent and as
chargeable under Article 9 herein.
16. Landlord's Right of Entry. Landlord shall retain duplicate keys to
all doors of the Demised Premises and Landlord and its agents, employees and
independent contractors shall have the right to enter the Demised Premises at
reasonable hours and upon reasonable prior notice (except in an emergency, for
which no prior notice is required) to inspect and examine same, to make repairs,
additions, alterations, and improvements, to exhibit the Demised Premises to
mortgagees, prospective mortgagees, purchasers or tenants, and to inspect the
Demised Premises to ascertain that Tenant is complying with all of its covenants
and obligations hereunder, all without being liable to Tenant in any manner
whatsoever for any damages arising therefrom; provided, however, that Landlord
shall, except in case of emergency, afford Tenant such prior notification of an
entry into the Demised Premises as shall be reasonably practicable under the
circumstances. Landlord shall use its reasonable efforts not to unreasonably
disrupt or disturb Tenant's use of the Demised Premises during such entry or
inspections. Landlord shall be allowed to take into and through the Demised
Premises any and all materials that may be required to make such repairs,
additions, alterations or improvements. During such time as such work is being
carried on in or about the Demised Premises, the Rent provided herein shall not
xxxxx, and Tenant waives any claim or cause of action against Landlord for
damages by reason of interruption of Tenant's business or loss of profits
therefrom because of the prosecution of any such work or any part thereof.
17. Insurance. Tenant shall procure at its expense and maintain
throughout the Lease Term a policy or policies of special form/all-risk
insurance insuring the full replacement cost of its furniture, equipment,
supplies, and other property owned, leased, held or possessed by it and
contained in the Demised Premises, together with the excess value of the
improvements to the Demised Premises over the Construction Allowance, and
worker's compensation insurance as required by applicable law. Tenant shall also
procure at its expense and maintain throughout the Lease Term a policy or
policies of commercial general liability insurance, insuring Tenant, Landlord
and any other person reasonably designated by Landlord, against any and all
liability
14
18
for injury to or death of a person or persons and for damage to property
occasioned by or arising out of any construction work being done on the Demised
Premises, or arising out of the condition, use, or occupancy of the Demised
Premises, or in any way occasioned by or arising out of the activities of
Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees, guests, or licensees in the Demised
Premises, or other portions of the Building, the Project or Wildwood Office
Park, the limits of such policy or policies to be in combined single limits for
both damage to property and personal injury and in amounts not less than Three
Million Dollars ($3,000,000) for each occurrence. Such insurance shall, in
addition, extend to any liability of Tenant arising out of the indemnities
provided for in this Lease. Tenant shall also carry such other types of
insurance in form and amount which Landlord shall reasonably deem to be prudent
for Tenant to carry, should the circumstances or conditions so merit Tenant
carrying such type of insurance. All insurance policies procured and maintained
by Tenant pursuant to this Article 17 shall name Landlord and any additional
parties reasonably designated by Landlord as additional insured, shall be
carried with companies licensed to do business in the State of Georgia having a
rating from Best's Insurance Reports of not less than A-/X, and shall be
non-cancelable and not subject to material change except after thirty (30) days'
written notice to Landlord. Such policies or duly executed certificates of
insurance with respect thereto, accompanied by proof of payment of the premium
therefor, shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the Rental Commencement Date,
and renewals of such policies shall be delivered to Landlord at least thirty
(30) days prior to the expiration of each respective policy term.
Landlord shall procure and maintain at its expense (but with the expense
to be included in Operating Expenses) throughout the Lease Term a policy or
policies of special form/all-risk (including rent loss coverage) real and
personal property insurance covering the Project (including the leasehold
improvements in the Demised Premises up to the amount of the Construction
Allowance, but excluding Tenant's personal property and equipment), in an amount
equal to the full insurable replacement cost thereof as such may increase from
time to time (but such insurance may provide for a commercially reasonable
deductible), and in an amount sufficient to comply with any co-insurance
requirements in such policy, and a policy of workers' compensation insurance, if
any, as required by applicable law. In addition, Landlord shall procure and
maintain at its expense (but with the expense to be included in Operating
Expenses) and shall thereafter maintain throughout the Lease Term, a commercial
general liability insurance policy covering the Project with combined single
limits for both damage to property and personal injury of not less than Three
Million Dollars ($3,000,000) per occurrence, subject to annual aggregate limits
of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000). Landlord may also carry such
other types of insurance in form and amounts which Landlord shall determine to
be appropriate from time to time, and the cost thereof shall be included in
Operating Expenses. All such policies procured and maintained by Landlord
pursuant to this Article 17 shall be carried with companies licensed to do
business in the State of Georgia. Any insurance required to be carried by
Landlord hereunder may be carried under blanket policies covering other
properties of Landlord and/or its partners and/or their respective related or
affiliated corporations so long as such blanket policies provide insurance at
all times for the Project as required by this Lease.
15
19
18. Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant shall each have included
in all policies of fire, extended coverage, business interruption and loss of
rents insurance respectively obtained by them covering the Demised Premises, the
Building and contents therein, a waiver by the insurer of all right of
subrogation against the other in connection with any loss or damage thereby
insured against. Any additional premium for such waiver shall be paid by the
primary insured. To the full extent permitted by law, Landlord and Tenant each
waives all right of recovery against the other for, and agrees to release the
other from liability for, loss or damage to the extent such loss or damage (a)
is covered by valid and collectible insurance in effect at the time of such loss
or damage (or required to be in effect at the time of such loss or damage), or
(b) would be covered by the insurance required to be maintained under this Lease
by the party seeking recovery.
19. Default.
(a) The following events shall be deemed to be events of default
by Tenant under this Lease: (i) Tenant shall fail to pay any installment
of Rent or any other charge or assessment against Tenant pursuant to the
terms hereof within five (5) days after the date notice of such late
payment is received by Tenant; provided, however, if more than two (2)
payments due of Tenant hereunder in any one (1) calendar year are not
made until after notice of such late payment is received by Tenant, then
it shall be an event of default hereunder by Tenant if any subsequent
payment due of Tenant hereunder in the same calendar year is not made
within ten (10) days of the date when due; (ii) Tenant shall fail to
comply with any term, provision, covenant or warranty made under this
Lease by Tenant, other than the payment of the Rent or any other charge
or assessment payable by Tenant, and shall not cure such failure within
fifteen (15) days after notice thereof to Tenant, or such longer period
as is necessary to cure such default, provided Tenant is diligently
pursuing same, and such cure is effectuated in any event within sixty
(60) days after notice thereof is given to Tenant; (iii) Tenant or any
guarantor of this Lease shall make a general assignment for the benefit
of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as
they become due, or shall file a petition in bankruptcy, or shall be
adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or shall file a petition in any
proceeding seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition,
readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any
present or future statute, law or regulation, or shall file an answer
admitting or fail timely to contest the material allegations of a
petition filed against it in any such proceeding; (iv) a proceeding is
commenced against Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease seeking any
reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation,
dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or
regulation, and such proceeding shall not have been dismissed within
ninety (90) days after the commencement thereof; (v) a receiver or
trustee shall be appointed for all or substantially all of the assets of
Tenant or of any guarantor of this Lease; (vi) Tenant shall fail to take
possession of the Demised Premises as provided in this Lease; (vii)
Tenant shall do or permit to be done anything which creates a lien upon
the Demised Premises or the Project and such lien is not removed or
discharged within fifteen (15) days after Tenant is provided notice of
the filing thereof; (viii) Tenant shall fail to return a properly
16
20
executed instrument to Landlord in accordance with the provisions of
Article 27 hereof within the time period provided for such return
following Landlord's request for same as provided in Article 27 and such
failure continues for ten (10) days after notice of such failure is
provided to Tenant; or (ix) Tenant shall fail to return a properly
executed estoppel certificate to Landlord in accordance with the
provisions of Article 28 hereof within the time period provided for such
return following Landlord's request for same as provided in Article 28
and such failure continues for ten (10) days after notice of such failure
is provided to Tenant.
(b) Upon the occurrence of any of the aforesaid events of default,
Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following
remedies without any further notice or demand whatsoever: (i) terminate
this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Demised
Premises to Landlord and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may without
prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or
arrearages in Rent, enter upon and take possession of the Demised
Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be
occupying said Demised Premises or any part thereof without being liable
for prosecution or any claim of damages therefor; Tenant hereby agreeing
to pay to Landlord on demand the amount of all loss and damage which
Landlord may suffer by reason of such termination, whether through
inability to relet the Demised Premises on satisfactory terms or
otherwise; (ii) terminate Tenant's right of possession (but not this
Lease) and enter upon and take possession of the Demised Premises and
expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying said
Demised Premises or any part thereof, by entry, dispossessory suit or
otherwise, without thereby releasing Tenant from any liability hereunder,
without terminating this Lease, and without being liable for prosecution
or any claim of damages therefor and, if Landlord so elects, make such
alterations, redecorations and repairs as, in Landlord's judgment, may be
necessary to relet the Demised Premises, and Landlord may, but shall be
under no obligation to do so, relet the Demised Premises or any portion
thereof in Landlord's or Tenant's name, but for the account of Tenant,
for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the
Lease Term) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms as
Landlord may deem advisable, with or without advertisement, and by
private negotiations, and receive the rent therefor, Tenant hereby
agreeing to pay to Landlord the deficiency, if any, between all Rent
reserved hereunder and the total rental applicable to the Lease Term
hereof obtained by Landlord re-letting, and Tenant shall be liable for
Landlord's expenses in redecorating and restoring the Demised Premises
and all costs incident to such re-letting, including broker's commissions
and lease assumptions, and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to any
rentals received by Landlord in excess of the amounts due by Tenant
hereunder; or (iii) enter upon the Demised Premises without being liable
for prosecution or any claim of damages therefor, 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 including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees which Landlord may incur in thus
effecting compliance with Tenant's obligations under this Lease and
Tenant further agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages
resulting to Tenant from such action, except
17
21
to the extent expressly arising under Article 37 herein. If this Lease is
terminated by Landlord as a result of the occurrence of an event of
default, Landlord may declare to be due and payable immediately, the
present value (calculated with a discount factor of eight percent [8%]
per annum) of the difference between (x) the entire amount of Rent and
other charges and assessments which in Landlord's reasonable
determination would become due and payable during the remainder of the
Lease Term determined as though this Lease had not been terminated
(including, but not limited to, increases in Rent pursuant to Article 7
hereof), and (y) the then fair market rental value of the Demised
Premises for the remainder of the Lease Term. Upon the acceleration of
such amounts, Tenant agrees to pay the same at once, together with all
Rent and other charges and assessments theretofore due, at Landlord's
address as provided herein, it being agreed that such payment shall not
constitute a penalty or forfeiture but shall constitute liquidated
damages for Tenant's failure to comply with the terms and provisions of
this Lease (Landlord and Tenant agreeing that Landlord's actual damages
in such event are impossible to ascertain and that the amount set forth
above is a reasonable estimate thereof).
(c) Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude
pursuit of any other remedy herein provided or any other remedy provided
by law or at equity, nor shall pursuit of any remedy herein provided
constitute an election of remedies thereby excluding the later election
of an alternate remedy, or a forfeiture or waiver of any Rent or other
charges and assessments payable by Tenant and due to Landlord hereunder
or of any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of violation of any of
the terms, covenants, warranties and provisions herein contained. No
reentry or taking possession of the Demised Premises by Landlord or any
other action taken by or on behalf of Landlord shall be construed to be
an acceptance of a surrender of this Lease or an election by Landlord to
terminate this Lease unless written notice of such intention is given to
Tenant. Forbearance by Landlord 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. In determining the amount of loss
or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of termination of this
Lease or the deficiency arising by reason of any reletting of the Demised
Premises by Landlord as above provided, allowance shall be made for the
expense of repossession. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord all reasonable,
actual costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in the enforcement of this
Lease, including, without limitation, the fees of Landlord's attorneys as
provided in Article 25 hereof.
(d) The abandonment or vacation of the Demised Premises shall not
be an event of default by Tenant under this Lease, but in the event
Tenant shall abandon or vacate the Demised Premises, unless due to a
casualty, condemnation or remodeling (which remodeling is being
diligently prosecuted), Landlord may, at any time while such abandonment
or vacation of the Demised Premises is continuing, notify Tenant of
Landlord's election to terminate this Lease, in which event this Lease
shall terminate on the date so selected by Landlord in Landlord's written
election to terminate this Lease, and on the date so set forth in
Landlord's written election, this Lease shall terminate and
18
22
come to an end as though the date selected by Landlord were the last day
of the natural expiration of the Lease Term; provided, however, that no
such termination shall affect or limit any obligations or liabilities of
Tenant arising or accruing under this Lease prior to the effective date
of any such termination; and provided further that Tenant may rescind
Landlord's election by (i) notifying Landlord in writing, within ten (10)
days after receipt of Landlord's written election to terminate this
Lease, that Tenant will reoccupy the Demised Premises for business
purposes and (ii) in fact, so reoccupying the Demised Premises for
business purposes within sixty (60) days thereafter, or such other
reasonably practical time period, if longer, but not to exceed one
hundred twenty (120) days.
20. Waiver of Breach. No waiver of any breach of the covenants,
warranties, agreements, provisions, or conditions contained in this Lease shall
be construed as a waiver of said covenant, warranty, provision, agreement or
condition or of any subsequent breach thereof, and if any breach shall occur and
afterwards be compromised, settled or adjusted, this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect as if no breach had occurred.
21. Assignment and Subletting. (a) Tenant shall not, without the prior
written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed, assign this Lease or any interest herein or in the
Demised Premises, or mortgage, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise
transfer or sublet the Demised Premises or any part thereof or permit the use of
the Demised Premises by any party other than Tenant. Consent to one or more such
transfers or subleases shall not destroy or waive this provision, and all
subsequent transfers and subleases shall likewise be made only upon obtaining
the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. Without limiting the foregoing prohibition, in
no event shall Tenant assign this Lease or any interest herein, whether
directly, indirectly or by operating of law, or sublet the Demised Premises or
any part thereof or permit the use of the Demised Premises or any part thereof
by any party (i) if the proposed assignee or subtenant is a party who would (or
whose use would) detract from the character of the Building as a first-class
building, such as, without limitation, a dental, medical or chiropractic office
or a governmental office, (ii) if the proposed use of the Demised Premises shall
involve an occupancy rate of more than one (1) person per 200 square feet of
Rentable Floor Area within the Demised Premises, (iii) if the proposed
assignment or subletting shall be to a governmental subdivision or agency or any
person or entity who enjoys diplomatic or sovereign immunity, (iv) if such
proposed assignee or subtenant is an existing tenant of the Building, or (v) if
such proposed assignment, subletting or use would contravene any restrictive
covenant (including any exclusive use) granted to any other tenant of the
Building. Sublessees or transferees of the Demised Premises for the balance of
the Lease Term shall become directly liable to Landlord for all obligations of
Tenant hereunder, without relieving Tenant (or any guarantor of Tenant's
obligations hereunder) of any liability therefor, and Tenant shall remain
obligated for all liability to Landlord arising under this Lease during the
entire remaining Lease Term. Landlord may, as a prior condition to considering
any request for consent to an assignment or sublease, require Tenant to obtain
and submit current financial statements of any proposed subtenant or assignee.
In the event Landlord consents to an assignment or sublease, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord a fee to cover Landlord's accounting costs plus any legal fees actually
incurred by Landlord as a result
19
23
of the assignment or sublease, such legal fees charged to Tenant not to exceed
Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($500.00) per occurrence or request. Landlord
may require an additional security deposit from the assignee or subtenant as a
condition of its consent. Fifty percent (50%) of any net costs of subletting
(including alteration or modification of the Demised Premises) consideration, in
excess of the Rent and other charges and sums due and payable by Tenant under
this Lease, paid to Tenant by any assignee of this Lease for its assignment, or
by any sublessee under or in connection with its sublease, or otherwise paid to
Tenant by another party for use and occupancy of the Demised Premises or any
portion thereof, shall be promptly remitted by Tenant to Landlord as additional
rent hereunder and Tenant shall have no right or claim thereto as against
Landlord. No assignment of this Lease consented to by Landlord shall be
effective unless and until Landlord shall receive an original assignment and
assumption agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord,
signed by Tenant and Tenant's proposed assignee, whereby the assignee assumes
due performance of this Lease to be done and performed for the balance of the
then remaining Lease Term of this Lease. No subletting of the Demised Premises,
or any part thereof, shall be effective unless and until there shall have been
delivered to Landlord an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to
Landlord, signed by Tenant and the proposed sublessee, whereby the sublessee
acknowledges the right of Landlord to continue or terminate any sublease, in
Landlord's sole discretion, upon termination of this Lease, and such sublessee
agrees to recognize and attorn to Landlord in the event that Landlord elects
under such circumstances to continue such sublease.
(b) Tenant shall have the right to assign the Lease or sublet the Demised
Premises, or any part thereof, without Landlord's consent, but subject to
Landlord's rights to notice and prohibition contained herein, to any parent,
subsidiary, affiliate or controlled corporation or to corporation which Tenant
may be converted or which it may merge. Tenant shall have the obligation to
notify Landlord of its intent of any such arrangement, and if Landlord
reasonably determines that the proposed assignee or sublessee is engaged in a
business which would materially interfere with the operation of the Building or
that permitting the assignment or subletting would cause a violation by Landlord
of its obligations under any lease covering a portion of the Building, Landlord
shall have the right to prohibit such arrangement based upon the issue of the
business of the proposed assignee or sublessee or the compatibility of the
proposed assignee or sublessee with the businesses in the Building.
22. Destruction.
(a) If the Demised Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty,
the same shall be repaired or rebuilt as speedily as practical under the
circumstances at the expense of the Landlord (subject to subparagraph [c]
below), unless this Lease is terminated as provided in this Article 22,
and during the period required for restoration, a just and proportionate
part of Base Rental shall be abated until the Demised Premises are
repaired or rebuilt substantially to the condition which existed
immediately prior to such casualty.
(b) If the Demised Premises are (i) damaged to such an extent that
repairs cannot, in Landlord's judgment, be completed within one (1) year
after the date of the
20
24
casualty or (ii) damaged or destroyed as a result of a risk which is not
insured under standard special form/all-risk insurance policies, or (iii)
damaged or destroyed during the last eighteen (18) months of the Lease
Term, or if the Building is damaged in whole or in part (whether or not
the Demised Premises are damaged), to such an extent that the Building
cannot, in Landlord's judgment, be operated economically as an integral
unit, then and in any such event Landlord may at its option terminate
this Lease by notice in writing to the Tenant within sixty (60) days
after the date of such occurrence. If the Demised Premises are damaged to
such an extent that repairs cannot, in Landlord's judgment, be completed
within one (1) year after the date of the casualty or if the Demised
Premises are substantially damaged during the last eighteen (18) months
of the Lease Term, then in either such event Tenant may elect to
terminate this Lease by notice in writing to Landlord within fifteen (15)
days after the date of such occurrence. Unless Landlord or Tenant elects
to terminate this Lease as hereinabove provided, this Lease will remain
in full force and effect and Landlord shall repair such damage at its
expense to the extent required in this Article as expeditiously as
possible under the circumstances.
(c) If Landlord should elect or be obligated pursuant to
subparagraph (a) above to repair or rebuild because of any damage or
destruction, Landlord's obligation shall be limited to the original
Building and the leasehold improvements in the Demised Premises (to the
extent such leasehold improvements can be restored for the amount of the
Construction Allowance applicable thereto) and shall not extend to any
furniture, equipment, supplies or other personal property owned or leased
by Tenant, its employees, contractors, invitees or licensees. If the cost
of performing such repairs and restoration exceeds the actual proceeds of
insurance paid or payable to Landlord on account of such casualty, or if
Landlord's mortgagee or the lessor under a ground or underlying lease
shall require that any insurance proceeds from a casualty loss be paid to
it, Landlord may terminate this Lease unless Tenant, within fifteen (15)
days after demand therefor, deposits with Landlord a sum of money
sufficient to pay the difference between the cost of repair and the
proceeds of the insurance available to Landlord for such purpose.
(d) In no event shall Landlord be liable for any loss or damage
sustained by Tenant by reason of casualties mentioned hereinabove or any
other accidental casualty.
23. Landlord's Lien. INTENTIONALLY DELETED
24. Services by Landlord. Landlord shall provide the Building Standard
Services described on Exhibit "E" attached hereto and by reference made a part
hereof. So long as no event of default on the part of Tenant exists hereunder
and the Lease is in full force and effect, Landlord shall provide at no
additional out-of-pocket expense to Tenant, three (3) reserved parking spaces,
in the area designated for reserved parking by Landlord, as such area may be
changed by Landlord from time to time.
25. Attorneys' Fees and Homestead. If any Rent or other debt owing by
Tenant to Landlord hereunder is collected by or through an outside
attorney-at-law, Tenant agrees to pay an
21
25
additional amount equal to Landlord's reasonable attorney's fees actually
incurred. If Landlord uses the services of any outside attorney in order to
secure compliance with any other provisions of this Lease, to recover damages
for any breach or default of any other provisions of this Lease, or to terminate
this Lease or evict Tenant, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any
and all reasonable, actual attorney's fees and expenses so incurred by Landlord.
Tenant waives all homestead rights and exemptions which it may have under any
law as against any obligation owing under this Lease, and assigns to Landlord
its homestead and exemptions to the extent necessary to secure payment and
performance of its covenants and agreements hereunder. If any action or
proceeding is commenced by Tenant to enforce the terms of the Lease, and Tenant
prevails in any such action, Landlord shall pay Tenant's reasonable attorney's
fees actually incurred, in connection with such action or proceeding.
26. Time. Time is of the essence of this Lease and whenever a certain day
is stated for payment or performance of any obligation of Tenant or Landlord,
the same enters into and becomes a part of the consideration hereof.
27. Subordination and Attornment.
(a) Tenant agrees that this Lease and all rights of Tenant
hereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate to any ground or
underlying lease which may now or hereafter be in effect regarding the
Project or any component thereof, to any mortgage now or hereafter
encumbering the Demised Premises or the Project or any component thereof,
to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such
mortgage, to all amendments, modifications, renewals, consolidations,
extensions, and restatements of such mortgage, and to any replacements
and substitutions for such mortgage. The terms of this provision shall be
self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be
required. Tenant, however, upon written request of any party in interest,
shall execute within fifteen (15) days of notice of such request such
instrument or certificates as may be reasonably required to carry out the
intent hereof, whether said requirement is that of Landlord or any other
party in interest, including, without limitation, any mortgagee.
(b) If any mortgagee or lessee under a ground or underlying lease
elects to have this Lease superior to its mortgage or lease and signifies
its election in the instrument creating its lien or lease or by separate
recorded instrument, then this Lease shall be superior to such mortgage
or lease, as the case may be. The term "mortgage", as used in this Lease,
includes any deed to secure debt, deed of trust or security deed and any
other instrument creating a lien in connection with any other method of
financing or refinancing. The term "mortgagee", as used in this Lease,
refers to the holder(s) of the indebtedness secured by a mortgage.
(c) In the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure
of, or in the event of exercise of the power of sale under, any mortgage
covering the Demised Premises or the Project, or in the event the
interests of Landlord under this Lease shall be
22
26
transferred by reason of deed in lieu of foreclosure or other legal
proceedings, or in the event of termination of any lease under which
Landlord may hold title, Tenant shall, at the option of the transferee or
purchaser at foreclosure or under power of sale, or the lessor of the
Landlord upon such lease termination, as the case may be (sometimes
hereinafter called "such person"), attorn to such person and shall
recognize and be bound and obligated hereunder to such person as the
Landlord under this Lease; provided, however, that no such person shall
be (i) bound by any payment of Rent for more than one (1) month in
advance, except prepayments in the nature of security for the performance
by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease (and then only if such
prepayments have been deposited with and are under the control of such
person); (ii) bound by any amendment or modification of this Lease made
without the express written consent of the mortgagee or lessor of the
Landlord, as the case may be; (iii) obligated to cure any defaults under
this Lease of any prior landlord (including Landlord); (iv) liable for
any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord); (v)
subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any
prior landlord (including Landlord); or (vi) bound by any warranty or
representation of any prior landlord (including Landlord) relating to
work performed by any prior landlord (including Landlord) under this
Lease. Tenant agrees to execute any reasonable attornment agreement not
in conflict herewith requested by Landlord, the mortgagee or such person.
Tenant's obligation to attorn to such person shall survive the exercise
of any such power of sale, foreclosure or other proceeding. Tenant agrees
that the institution of any suit, action or other proceeding by any
mortgagee to realize on Landlord's interest in the Demised Premises or
the Building pursuant to the powers granted to a mortgagee under its
mortgage, shall not, by operation of law or otherwise, result in the
cancellation or termination of the obligations of the Tenant hereunder.
Landlord and Tenant agree that notwithstanding that this Lease is
expressly subject and subordinate to any mortgages, any mortgagee, its
successors and assigns, or other holder of a mortgage or of a note
secured thereby, may sell the Demised Premises or the Building, in the
manner provided in the mortgage and may, at the option of such mortgagee,
its successors and assigns, or other holder of the mortgage or note
secured thereby, make such sale of the Demised Premises or Building
subject to this Lease.
28. Estoppel Certificates. Within fifteen (15) days after written request
therefor by Landlord, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord in
recordable form an estoppel certificate, in a reasonable form, addressed to
Landlord, any mortgagee or assignee of Landlord's interest in, or purchaser of,
the Demised Premises or the Building or any part thereof, certifying (if such be
the case) that this Lease is unmodified and is in full force and effect (and if
there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as
modified and stating said modifications); that there are no defenses or offsets
against the enforcement thereof or stating those claimed by Tenant; and stating
the date to which Rent and other charges have been paid. Such certificate shall
also include such other information as may reasonably be required by such
mortgagee, proposed mortgagee, assignee, purchaser or Landlord. Any such
certificate may be relied upon by Landlord, any mortgagee, proposed mortgagee,
assignee, purchaser and any other party to whom such certificate is addressed.
23
27
29. No Estate. This Lease shall create the relationship of landlord and
tenant only between Landlord and Tenant and no estate shall pass out of
Landlord. Tenant shall have only an usufruct, not subject to levy and sale and
not assignable in whole or in part by Tenant except as herein provided.
30. Cumulative Rights. All rights, powers and privileges conferred
hereunder upon the parties hereto shall be cumulative to, but not restrictive
of, or in lieu of those conferred by law.
31. Holding Over. If Tenant remains in possession after expiration or
termination of the Lease Term with or without Landlord's written consent, Tenant
shall become a tenant-at-sufferance, and there shall be no renewal of this Lease
by operation of law. During the period of any such holding over, all provisions
of this Lease shall be and remain in effect except that the monthly rental shall
be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount of Rent (including any
adjustments as provided herein) payable for the last full calendar month of the
Lease Term including renewals or extensions, for the first three (3) months of
any such holdover, and then double the amount of such Rent thereafter. The
inclusion of the preceding sentence in this Lease shall not be construed as
Landlord's consent for Tenant to hold over.
32. Surrender of Premises. Except as provided in Article 14 herein, upon
the expiration or other termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and
surrender to Landlord the Demised Premises and every part thereof and all
alterations, additions and improvements thereto, broom clean and in good
condition and state of repair, reasonable wear and tear only excepted. If Tenant
is not then in default, Tenant shall remove all personalty and equipment not
attached to the Demised Premises which it has placed upon the Demised Premises,
and Tenant shall restore the Demised Premises to the condition immediately
preceding the time of placement thereof, less reasonable wear and tear. If
Tenant shall fail or refuse to remove all of Tenant's effects, personalty and
equipment from the Demised Premises upon the expiration or termination of this
Lease for any cause whatsoever or upon the Tenant being dispossessed by process
of law or otherwise, such effects, personalty and equipment shall be deemed
conclusively to be abandoned and may be appropriated, sold, stored, destroyed or
otherwise disposed of by Landlord without written notice to Tenant or any other
party and without obligation to account for them. Tenant shall pay Landlord on
demand any and all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in the removal of
such property, including, without limitation, the cost of repairing any damage
to the Building or Project caused by the removal of such property and storage
charges (if Landlord elects to store such property), less any amounts actually
received by Landlord in connection with the disposition of such property, which
Landlord may dispose of in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. The
covenants and conditions of this Article 32 shall survive any expiration or
termination of this Lease.
33. Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given hereunder
shall be in writing and may be delivered in person to either party or may be
sent by courier or by United States Mail, certified, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid. Any such notice shall be deemed
24
28
received by the party to whom it was sent (i) in the case of personal delivery
or courier delivery, on the date of delivery to such party, and (ii) in the case
or certified mail, the date receipt is acknowledged on the return receipt for
such notice or, if delivery is rejected or refused or the U.S. Postal Service is
unable to deliver same because of changed address of which no notice was given
pursuant hereto, the first date of such rejection, refusal or inability to
deliver. All such notices shall be addressed to Landlord or Tenant at their
respective address set forth hereinabove or at such other address as either
party shall have theretofore given to the other by notice as herein provided.
Tenant hereby designates and appoints as its agent to receive notice of all
distraint proceedings and all other notices required under this Lease, to
Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, Esq., Silfen, Segal, Fryer & Xxxxxxx, P.C., 0000 Xxxxx
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000.
34. Damage or Theft of Personal Property. All personal property brought
into Demised Premises by Tenant, or Tenant's employees or business visitors,
shall be at the risk of Tenant only, and Landlord shall not be liable for theft
thereof or any damage thereto occasioned by any act of co-tenants, occupants,
invitees or other users of the Building or any other person. Landlord shall not
at any time be liable for damage to any property in or upon the Demised
Premises, which results from power surges or other deviations from the constancy
of electrical service or from gas, smoke, water, rain, ice or snow which issues
or leaks from or forms upon any part of the Building or from the pipes or
plumbing work of the same, or from any other place whatsoever, except to the
extent such liability would arise under Article 37 herein.
35. Eminent Domain.
(a) If all or part of the Demised Premises shall be taken for any
public or quasi-public use by virtue of the exercise of the power of
eminent domain or by private purchase in lieu thereof, this Lease shall
terminate as to the part so taken as of the date of taking, and, in the
case of a partial taking, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right
to terminate this Lease as to the balance of the Demised Premises by
written notice to the other within thirty (30) days after such date;
provided, however, that a condition to the exercise by Tenant of such
right to terminate shall be that the portion of the Demised Premises
taken shall be of such extent and nature as substantially to handicap,
impede or impair Tenant's use of the balance of the Demised Premises, as
reasonably determined by Tenant. If title to so much of the Building is
taken that a reasonable amount of reconstruction thereof will not in
Landlord's sole discretion result in the Building being a practical
improvement and reasonably suitable for use for the purpose for which it
is designed, then this Lease shall terminate on the date that the
condemning authority actually takes possession of the part so condemned
or purchased.
(b) If this Lease is terminated under the provisions of this
Article 35, Rent shall be apportioned and adjusted as of the date of
termination. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or against the
condemning authority for the value of any leasehold estate or for the
value of the unexpired Lease Term provided that the foregoing shall not
preclude any claim that Tenant may have against the condemning authority
for the
25
29
unamortized cost of leasehold improvements, to the extent the same were
installed at Tenant's expense (and not with the proceeds of the
Construction Allowance), or for loss of business, moving expenses or
other consequential damages, in accordance with subparagraph (d) below.
(c) If there is a partial taking of the Building and this Lease is
not thereupon terminated under the provisions of this Article 35, then
this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and Landlord shall,
within a reasonable time thereafter, repair or reconstruct the remaining
portion of the Building to the extent necessary to make the same a
complete architectural unit; provided that in complying with its
obligations hereunder Landlord shall not be required to expend more than
the net proceeds of the condemnation award which are paid to Landlord.
Rent shall equitably xxxxx during the period of reconstruction with
respect to any portion of the Demised Premises which are rendered
unsuitable for Tenant's business, as reasonably determined by Tenant.
However, if all or any portion of the Building or the Project shall be
taken, and such taking shall, in Tenant's reasonable judgment,
substantially handicap, impede or impair Tenant's use of the Demised
Premises, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written
notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the date of such taking
or purchase.
(d) All compensation awarded or paid to Landlord upon a total or
partial taking of the Demised Premises or the Building shall belong to
and be the property of Landlord without any participation by Tenant;
provided, however, that should Landlord receive a lump award which
expressly includes compensation for (i) Tenant's loss of business, (ii)
damage to, and the cost of removal of, trade fixtures, furniture and
other personal property belonging to Tenant, or (iii) the cost of any
leasehold improvements installed at Tenant's expense, Landlord shall
promptly deliver to Tenant the portion of the award which represents
compensation for such items. Nothing herein shall be construed to
preclude Tenant from prosecuting any claim directly against the
condemning authority for loss of business, for damage to, and cost of
removal of, trade fixtures, furniture and other personal property
belonging to Tenant, and for the unamortized cost of leasehold
improvements to the extent same were installed at Tenant's expense (and
not with the proceeds of the Construction Allowance), provided, however,
that no such claim shall diminish or adversely affect Landlord's award.
In no event shall Tenant have or assert a claim for the value of any
unexpired term of this Lease. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this
subparagraph (d), Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any and all of its
right, title and interest in or to any compensation awarded or paid as a
result of any such taking.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Article 35, if, during the Lease Term, the use or occupancy of any part
of the Building or the Demised Premises shall be taken or appropriated
temporarily for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental
law, ordinance, or regulations, or by right of eminent domain, this Lease
shall be and remain unaffected by such taking or appropriation and Tenant
26
30
shall continue to pay in full all Rent payable hereunder by Tenant during
the Lease Term. In the event of any such temporary appropriation or
taking, Tenant shall be entitled to receive that portion of any award
which represents compensation for the loss of use or occupancy of the
Demised Premises during the Lease Term, and Landlord shall be entitled to
receive that portion of any award which represents the cost of
restoration and compensation for the loss of use or occupancy of the
Demised Premises after the end of the Lease Term.
36. Parties. The term "Landlord", as used in this Lease, shall include
Landlord and its assigns and successors. It is hereby covenanted and agreed by
Tenant that should Landlord's interest in the Demised Premises cease to exist
for any reason during the Lease Term, then notwithstanding the happening of such
event, this Lease nevertheless shall remain in full force and effect, and Tenant
hereby agrees to attorn to the then owner of the Demised Premises. The term
"Tenant" shall include Tenant and its heirs, legal representatives and
successors, and shall also include Tenant's assignees and sublessees, if this
Lease shall be validly assigned or the Demised Premises sublet for the balance
of the Lease Term or any renewals or extensions thereof. In addition, Landlord
and Tenant covenant and agree that Landlord's right to transfer or assign
Landlord's interest in and to the Demised Premises, or any part or parts
thereof, shall be unrestricted, and that in the event of any such transfer or
assignment by Landlord which includes the Demised Premises, Landlord's
obligations to Tenant hereunder shall cease and terminate, and Tenant shall look
only and solely to Landlord's assignee or transferee for performance thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be released from such
liability under any of its covenants and obligations contained in or derived
from this Lease arising out of any acts, occurrences or omissions occurring
after the consummation of such transfer or assignment unless the transferee or
assignee of the Demised Premises shall assume obligations of Landlord under this
Lease. Furthermore, in no event shall Landlord be released from any obligations
or liabilities accruing prior to the date of such transfer or assignment.
37. Liability. Except to the extent covered by and actually funded under
any of the insurance provided or to be provided under the provisions of Articles
17 and 18 hereof, Tenant hereby indemnifies Landlord from and agrees to hold
Landlord harmless against, any and all liability, loss, cost, damage or expense,
including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees
actually incurred, imposed on Landlord by any person whomsoever, caused by the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, or any of its partners,
employees, contractors, servants, agents, subtenants, or legal representatives,
acting within the scope of their authority. Except to the extent covered by and
actually funded under any of the insurance provided or to be provided under the
provisions of Articles 17 and 18 hereof, Landlord hereby indemnifies Tenant
from, and agrees to hold Tenant harmless against, any and all liability, loss,
cost, damage or expense, including without limitation, court costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees, imposed on Tenant by any person whomsoever, caused
by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, or any of its
partners, employees, contractors, servants, agents or legal representatives,
acting within the scope of their authority. Notwithstanding any provision of
this Lease to the contrary, in no event shall Landlord or Tenant have any
liability to the other party for lost profits. The provisions of this Article 37
shall survive the expiration or any termination of this Lease.
27
31
38. Relocation of the Premises. INTENTIONALLY DELETED.
39. Force Majeure. In the event of strike, lockout, labor trouble, civil
commotion, Act of God, or any other cause beyond a party's control (collectively
"force majeure") resulting in the Landlord's inability to supply the services or
perform the other obligations required of Landlord hereunder, this Lease shall
not terminate and Tenant's obligation to pay Rent and all other charges and sums
due and payable by Tenant shall not be affected or excused and Landlord shall
not be considered to be in default under this Lease. If, as a result of force
majeure, Tenant is delayed in performing any of its obligations under this
Lease, and to pay Rent and all other charges and sums payable by Tenant
hereunder, Tenant's performance shall be excused for a period equal to such
delay and Tenant shall not during such period be considered to be in default
under this Lease with respect to the obligation, performance of which has thus
been delayed.
40. Landlord's Liability. Landlord shall have no personal liability with
respect to any of the provisions of this Lease. If Landlord is in default with
respect to its obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall look solely to the
equity of Landlord in and to the Building and the Land described in Exhibit "A"
hereto for satisfaction of Tenant's remedies, if any. It is expressly understood
and agreed that Landlord's liability under the terms of this Lease shall in no
event exceed the amount of its interest in and to said Land and Building. In no
event shall any partner of Landlord nor any joint venturer in Landlord, nor any
officer, director or shareholder of Landlord or any such partner or joint
venturer of Landlord be personally liable with respect to any of the provisions
of this Lease.
41. Landlord's Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment. Provided Tenant performs the
terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease, and subject to the terms and
provisions hereof, Landlord covenants and agrees to take all necessary steps to
secure and to maintain for the benefit of Tenant the quiet and peaceful
possession of the Demised Premises, for the Lease Term, without hindrance, claim
or molestation by Landlord or any other person lawfully claiming under Landlord.
42. Security Deposit. INTENTIONALLY DELETED.
43. Hazardous Substances. Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that Tenant
shall not cause or permit any "Hazardous Substances" (as hereinafter defined) to
be generated, placed, held, stored, used, located or disposed of at the Project
or any part thereof, except for Hazardous Substances as are commonly and legally
used or stored as a consequence of using the Demised Premises for general office
and administrative purposes, but only so long as the quantities thereof do not
pose a threat to public health or to the environment or would necessitate a
"response action", as that term is defined in CERCLA (as hereinafter defined),
and so long as Tenant strictly complies or causes compliance with all applicable
governmental rules and regulations concerning the use, storage, production,
transportation and disposal of such Hazardous Substances. Promptly upon receipt
of Landlord's request, Tenant shall submit to Landlord true and correct copies
of any reports filed by Tenant with any governmental or quasi-governmental
28
32
authority regarding the generation, placement, storage, use, treatment or
disposal of Hazardous Substances on or about the Demised Premises. For purposes
of this Article 43, "Hazardous Substances" shall mean and include those elements
or compounds which are contained in the list of Hazardous Substances adopted by
the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or in any list of toxic
pollutants designated by Congress or the EPA or which are defined as hazardous,
toxic, pollutant, infectious or radioactive by any other federal, state or local
statute, law, ordinance, code, rule, regulation, order or decree regulating,
relating to or imposing liability (including, without limitation, strict
liability) or standards of conduct concerning, any hazardous, toxic or dangerous
waste, substance or material, as now or at any time hereinafter in effect
(collectively "Environmental Laws"). Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify Landlord
and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities,
including strict liability, damages, injuries, expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, costs of settlement or judgment and claims of any and every
kind whatsoever paid, incurred or suffered by, or asserted against, Landlord by
any person, entity or governmental agency for, with respect to, or as a direct
or indirect result of, the presence in, or the escape, leakage, spillage,
discharge, emission or release from, the Demised Premises of any Hazardous
Substances (including, without limitation, any losses, liabilities, including
strict liability, damages, injuries, expenses, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, costs of any settlement or judgment or claims asserted or arising under
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
["CERCLA"], any so-called federal, state or local "Superfund" or "Superlien"
laws or any other Environmental Law); provided, however, that the foregoing
indemnity is limited to matters arising solely from Tenant's violation of the
covenant contained in this Article. The obligations of Tenant under this Article
shall survive any expiration or termination of this Lease.
44. Submission of Lease. The submission of this Lease for examination
does not constitute an offer to lease and this Lease shall be effective only
upon execution hereof by Landlord and Tenant.
45. Severability. If any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal,
invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, the remainder of this
Lease shall not be affected thereby, and in lieu of each clause or provision of
this Lease which is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there shall be added as a
part of this Lease a clause or provision as nearly identical to the said clause
or provision as may be legal, valid and enforceable.
46. Entire Agreement. This Lease contains the entire agreement of the
parties and no representations, inducements, promises or agreements, oral or
otherwise, between the parties not embodied herein shall be of any force or
effect. No failure of Landlord to exercise any power given Landlord hereunder,
or to insist upon strict compliance by Tenant with any obligation of Tenant
hereunder, and no custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms
hereof, shall constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to demand exact compliance
with the terms hereof. This Lease may not be altered, waived, amended or
extended except by an instrument in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant. This
Lease is not in recordable form, and Tenant agrees not to record or cause to be
recorded this Lease or any short form or memorandum thereof.
29
33
47. Headings. The use of headings herein is solely for the convenience of
indexing the various paragraphs hereof and shall in no event be considered in
construing or interpreting any provision of this Lease.
48. Broker. CPI HAS REPRESENTED LANDLORD IN THIS TRANSACTION, AND XXXXXX
& ASSOCIATES HAS REPRESENTED TENANT IN THIS TRANSACTION. BROKER(S) (AS DEFINED
IN ARTICLE 1[O]) IS (ARE) ENTITLED TO A LEASING COMMISSION FROM LANDLORD BY
VIRTUE OF THIS LEASE, WHICH LEASING COMMISSION SHALL BE PAID BY LANDLORD TO
BROKER(S) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF A SEPARATE AGREEMENT BETWEEN LANDLORD
AND BROKER(S). Tenant hereby authorizes Broker(s) and Landlord to identify
Tenant as a tenant of the Building and to state the amount of space leased by
Tenant in advertisements and promotional materials relating to the Building.
Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that (except with respect to any
Broker[s] identified in Article 1[o] hereinabove) no broker, agent, commission
salesperson, or other person has represented Tenant in the negotiations for and
procurement of this Lease and of the Demised Premises and that (except with
respect to any Broker[s] identified in Article 1[o] hereinabove) no commissions,
fees, or compensation of any kind are due and payable in connection herewith to
any broker, agent, commission salesperson, or other person as a result of any
act or agreement of Tenant. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord
harmless from all loss, liability, damage, claim, judgment, cost or expense
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) suffered or incurred by
Landlord as a result of a breach by Tenant of the representation and warranty
contained in the immediately preceding sentence or as a result of Tenant's
failure to pay commissions, fees, or compensation due to any broker who
represented Tenant, whether or not disclosed, or as a result of any claim for
any fee, commission or similar compensation with respect to this Lease made by
any broker, agent or finder (other than the Broker[s] identified in Article 1[o]
hereinabove) claiming to have dealt with Tenant, whether or not such claim is
meritorious. Tenant shall cause any agent or broker representing Tenant to
execute a lien waiver to and for the benefit of Landlord, waiving any and all
lien rights with respect to the Building and Land which such agent or broker has
or might have under Georgia law.
49. Governing Law. The laws of the State of Georgia shall govern the
validity, performance and enforcement of this Lease.
50. Special Stipulations. The special stipulations attached hereto as
Exhibit "G" are hereby incorporated herein by this reference as though fully set
forth (if none, so state).
51. Authority. If Tenant executes this Lease as a corporation, each of
the persons executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant does hereby personally
represent and warrant that Tenant is a duly incorporated or a duly qualified (if
a foreign corporation) corporation and is fully authorized and qualified to do
business in the State in which the Demised Premises are located, that the
corporation has full right and authority to enter into this Lease, and that each
person signing on behalf of the corporation is an officer of the corporation and
is authorized to sign on behalf of the corporation. If Tenant signs as a
partnership, joint venture, or sole
30
34
proprietorship or other business entity (each being herein called "Entity"),
each of the persons executing on behalf of Tenant does hereby covenant and
warrant that Tenant is a duly authorized and existing Entity, that Tenant has
full right and authority to enter into this Lease, that all persons executing
this Lease on behalf of the Entity are authorized to do so on behalf of the
Entity, and that such execution is fully binding upon the Entity and its
partners, joint venturers, or principal, as the case may be. Upon the request of
Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord reasonable documentation satisfactory
to Landlord evidencing Tenant's compliance with this Article, and Tenant agrees
to promptly execute all necessary and reasonable applications or documents as
reasonably requested by Landlord, required by the jurisdiction in which the
Demised Premises is located, to permit the issuance of necessary permits and
certificates for Tenant's use and occupancy of the Demised Premises.
52. Financial Statements. Upon Landlord's written request therefor, but
not more often than once per year, Tenant shall promptly furnish to Landlord a
financial statement with respect to Tenant for its most recent fiscal year
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
certified to be true and correct by Tenant, which statement Landlord agrees to
keep confidential and not use except in connection with proposed sale or loan
transactions.
53. Joint and Several Liability. INTENTIONALLY DELETED.
54. ERISA Compliance. Tenant represents to Landlord that Tenant is not an
"employee benefit plan", a "plan" or a "governmental plan" as defined below or
an entity whose assets constitute "plan assets" as defined below. The term
"employee benefit plan" means an "employee benefit plan" as defined in Section
3(3) of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"), which is subject to Title I of ERISA. The term "plan" means a "plan"
as defined in Section 4975(e)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. The term "governmental plan" means a "governmental plan" within the
meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA. The term "plan assets" means "plan assets" of
one or more plans within the meaning of 2a C.F.R. 2510.3-101.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have hereunto set their hands and seals
as of the day, month and year first above written.

RULES AND REGULATIONS
1. No sign, picture, advertisement or notice visible from the exterior of
the Demised Premises shall be installed, affixed, inscribed, painted or
otherwise displayed by Tenant on any part of the Demised Premises or the
Building unless the same is first approved by Landlord. Any such sign,
picture, advertisement or notice approved by Landlord shall be painted or
installed for Tenant at Tenant's cost by Landlord or by a party approved
by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. No awnings, curtains, blinds, shades or screens
shall be attached to or hung in, or used in connection with any window or
door of the Demised Premises without the prior consent of the Landlord,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed, including approval by the Landlord of the quality, type, design,
color and manner of attachment. In the event of any breach of the
foregoing, Landlord may remove the applicable item, and Tenant agrees to
pay the cost and expense of such removal.
2. Tenant agrees that its use of electrical current shall never exceed the
capacity of existing feeders, risers or wiring installation.
3. The Demised Premises shall not be used for storage of merchandise held
for sale to the general public. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done
in or about the Demised Premises or Building anything which shall
increase the rate of insurance on said Building or obstruct or interfere
with the rights of other lessees of Landlord or annoy them in any way,

EXHIBIT "E"
BUILDING STANDARD SERVICES
Landlord shall furnish the following services to Tenant during the
Lease Term (the "Building Standard Services"):
(a) Common-use restrooms (with cold and tempered domestic water) and
toilets at locations provided for general use and as reasonably deemed by
Landlord to be in keeping with the first-class standards of the Building.
(b) Subject to curtailment as required by governmental laws, rules or
mandatory regulations and subject to the design conditions set forth in
paragraph 2(a) of Exhibit "D" attached hereto, central heat and air conditioning
in season, at such temperatures and in such amounts as are reasonably deemed by
Landlord to be in keeping with the first-class standards of the Building. Such
heating and air conditioning shall be furnished between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
on weekdays (from Monday through Friday, inclusive) and between 8:00 a.m. and
1:00 p.m. on Saturdays, all exclusive of Holidays, as defined below (the
"Building Operating Hours").
(c) Electric lighting service for all public areas and special service
areas of the Building in the manner and to the extent reasonably deemed by
Landlord to be in keeping with the first-class standards of the Building.
(d) Janitor service shall be provided five (5) days per week, exclusive
of Holidays (as hereinbelow defined), in a manner that Landlord reasonably deems
to be consistent with the first-class standards of the Building.
(e) Security services for the Building comparable as to coverage,
control and responsiveness (but not necessarily as to means for accomplishing
same) to other similarly sized first-class, multi-tenant office buildings in
suburban Atlanta, Georgia; provided, however, Landlord shall have no
responsibility to prevent, and shall not be liable to Tenant for, any liability
or loss to Tenant, its agents, employees and visitors arising out of losses due
to theft, burglary, or damage or injury to persons or property caused by persons
gaining access to the Building and/or the Demised Premises, and Tenant hereby
releases Landlord from all liability for such losses, damages or injury.
(f) Sufficient electrical capacity at the building core electrical
panels to operate (i) incandescent lights, typewriters, calculating machines,
photocopying machines and other machines of the same low voltage electrical
consumption (120/208 volts), provided that the total rated electrical design
load for said lighting and machines of low electrical voltage shall not exceed
1.54 xxxxx per square foot of rentable area; and (ii) lighting (277/480 volts),
provided that the total rated electrical design load for said lighting shall not
exceed 2.0 xxxxx per square foot of
55
rentable area (each such rated electrical design load to be hereinafter referred
to as the "Building Standard Rated Electrical Design Load").
Should Tenant's total rated electrical design load exceed the Building
Standard Rated Electrical Design Load for either low or high voltage electrical
consumption, or if Tenant's electrical design requires low voltage or high
voltage circuits in excess of Tenant's share of the Building Standard circuits,
Landlord will (at Tenant's expense) install such additional circuits and
associated high voltage panels and/or additional low voltage panels with
associated transformers (which additional circuits, panels and transformers
shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Additional Electrical Equipment"). If
the Additional Electrical Equipment is installed because Tenant's low or high
voltage rated electrical design load exceeds the applicable Building Standard
Rated Electrical Design Load, then a meter shall also be added (at Tenant's
expense) to measure the electricity used through the Additional Electrical
Equipment.
The design and installation of any Additional Electrical Equipment (or
any related meter) required by Tenant shall be subject to the prior approval of
Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). All expenses
incurred by Landlord in connection with the review and approval of any
Additional Electrical Equipment shall also be reimbursed to Landlord by Tenant.
Tenant shall also pay on demand the actual metered cost of electricity consumed
through the Additional Electrical Equipment (if applicable), plus any actual
accounting expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the metering
thereof.
Tenant agrees that if Tenant uses data processing or other electronic
equipment which incorporates the use of switched mode power supplies or any
other type device causing harmonic distortion on Landlord's power distribution
system, Tenant shall install filters at Tenant's cost to eliminate the harmonic
distortion. In addition, any damage to Landlord's equipment resulting from
harmonic distortion caused by Tenant's electronic equipment shall be repaired at
Tenant's expense. Total harmonic distortion shall not exceed thirteen percent
(13%).
If any of Tenant's electrical equipment requires conditioned air in
excess of Building Standard air conditioning, the same shall be installed by
Landlord (on Tenant's behalf), and Tenant shall pay all design, installation,
metering and operating costs relating thereto.
If Tenant requires that certain areas within Tenant's Demised Premises
must operate in excess of the normal Building Operating Hours (as hereinabove
defined), the electrical service to such areas shall be separately circuited and
metered (at Tenant's expense) such that Tenant shall be billed the costs
associated with electricity consumed during hours other than Building Operating
Hours.
(g) All Building Standard fluorescent bulb replacement in all areas and
all incandescent bulb replacement in public areas, toilet and restroom areas,
and stairwells.
(h) Non-exclusive multiple cab passenger service to the floor(s) of the
Demised Premises during Building Operating Hours (as hereinabove defined) and at
least one (1) cab
2
56
passenger service to the floor(s) on which the Demised Premises are located
twenty-four (24) hours per day and non-exclusive freight elevator service during
Building Operating Hours (all subject to temporary cessation for ordinary repair
and maintenance and during times when life safety systems override normal
building operating systems) with such freight elevator service available at
other times upon reasonable prior notice and the payment by Tenant to Landlord
of any additional expense actually incurred by Landlord in connection therewith.
To the extent the services described above require electricity and
water supplied by public utilities, Landlord's covenants thereunder shall only
impose on Landlord the obligation to use its reasonable efforts to cause the
applicable public utilities to furnish same. Except for deliberate and willful
acts of Landlord, failure by Landlord to furnish the services described herein,
or any cessation thereof, shall not render Landlord liable for damages to either
person or property, nor be construed as an eviction of Tenant, nor work an
abatement of rent, nor relieve Tenant from fulfillment of any covenant or
agreement hereof. In addition to the foregoing, should any of the equipment or
machinery, for any cause, fail to operate, or function properly, Tenant shall
have no claim for rebate of rent or damages on account of an interruption in
service occasioned thereby or resulting therefrom; provided, however, Landlord
agrees to use reasonable efforts to promptly repair said equipment or machinery
and to restore said services during normal business hours.
The following dates shall constitute "Holidays" as that term is used in
this Lease: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving Day, Christmas, and any other holiday generally recognized as such
by landlords of office space in the metropolitan Atlanta office market, as
determined by Landlord in good faith. If in the case of any specific holiday
mentioned in the preceding sentence, a different day shall be observed than the
respective day mentioned, then that day which constitutes the day observed by
national banks in Atlanta, Georgia on account of said holiday shall constitute
the Holiday under this Lease.
