2. TERM. The Term of this Lease (hereinafter referred to as the “Demised Term”) shall be for a period commencing on the Commencement Date, as hereinafter defined, and ending thirty (30) full calendar months thereafter, unless sooner terminated as provided in this Lease; provided, however, that, in the event the Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, the Demised Term shall extend for the remainder of the calendar month in which the Commencement Date occurs plus said number of months.
The “Commencement Date” shall be the earlier of: (i) April 1, 2012; or (ii) the date upon which the buildings and other improvements erected and to be erected upon the Premises shall have been substantially completed in accordance with the plans and specifications described on Exhibit “B” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “Plans”). In the event of delays caused by Tenant due to changes to the Plans or delayed approval of final construction drawings, the Commencement Date shall be the date upon which Landlord would have achieved substantial completion in the absence of Tenant’s delays.
Landlord shall provide the improvements more particularly described on Exhibit “B” attached hereto. Landlord shall over perform the improvements described on the Plans, excluding those improvements to be installed by Tenant. Tenant shall have the right to enter the Premises during the final stages of construction for purposes of installing its phone and data cabling and security systems, if applicable. Upon substantial completion, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing that the improvements are ready for occupancy. In the event that said buildings and other improvements have not in fact been substantially completed as aforesaid, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of its objections. Landlord shall have a reasonable time after delivery of such notice in which to take such corrective action as may be necessary, and shall notify Tenant in writing as soon as it deems such corrective action has been completed so that said buildings and other improvements are completed and ready for occupancy, subject to punch list items. Taking of possession by Tenant shall be deemed conclusively to establish that said buildings and other improvements have been completed in accordance with the plans and specifications and are in good and satisfactory condition. In the event of any dispute as to substantial completion of work performed or required to be performed by Landlord, or the date of substantial completion of such work, the certificate of the Landlord’s contractor shall be conclusive. Tenant acknowledges that no representations as to the condition of the Premises have been made by Landlord, unless such are expressly set forth in this Lease. After the Commencement Date, Tenant shall, upon demand, execute and deliver to Landlord a letter of acceptance of delivery of the Premises.

B. Landlord and Tenant agree that the Base Rent set forth in Paragraph 3.A. above shall increase by three percent (3%) at the beginning of the thirteenth (13th) full calendar month of the Demised Term, which adjusted rent amount shall remain in effect for the next twelve (12) consecutive months and shall increase by three percent (3%) each twelve (12) months thereafter for the balance of the Demised Term; it being the express intention of the parties that in the event the Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, the anniversary date of the rent adjustment hereunder shall be the first day of the first full calendar month.

4. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant agrees to deposit with Landlord on the date hereof, in addition to the rent specified in Paragraph 3, the sum off Six Thousand Six Hundred Eighteen and No/100s ($6,618.00), which sum shall be held by Landlord, without obligation for interest (except as may be required by law), as security for the performance of Tenant’s covenants and obligations under this Lease, it being expressly understood and agreed that such deposit is not an advance rent payment or a measure of Landlord’s damages in case of Tenant’s default. Upon the occurrence of any event of default by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord may (but without obligation to do so), from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy provided herein or provided by law or in equity, use this security deposit to the extent necessary to make good any arrears of rent or other payments due Landlord hereunder, and any other damage, injury, expense or liability caused by such event of default. Tenant shall pay Landlord, on demand, the amount of the security deposit so applied in order to restore the security deposit to its original amount.

Without Landlord’s prior written consent, Tenant shall not receive, store or otherwise handle any product, material or merchandise which is explosive or highly inflammable. Tenant will not permit the Premises to be used for any purpose or in any manner (including without limitation, any method of storage) which would render the insurance thereon void or the insurance risk more hazardous or cause the State Board of Insurance or other insurance authority to disallow any sprinkler credits.

Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of any repairs or replacements needed that exceed the above referenced cap prior to such repairs and replacements being made. Landlord shall have the right to approve the contractor who is to perform such work or use a contractor of Landlord’s choosing.

Lease Agreement | 4 | March 13, 2012 |
Landlord’s property at the expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof without compensation to Tenant, unless Landlord elects by notice to Tenant to have Tenant remove such Tenant Alterations, in which event, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly remove such Tenant Alterations and restore the Premises to its condition prior to the installation of such Tenant Alterations, normal wear and tear excepted (it being agreed that any damages resulting from the removal of any Tenant Alterations shall not constitute normal wear and tear).

A. Tenant shall not, directly or indirectly, have the right to assign this Lease or to sublet the whole or any part of the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(i) | if Tenant is a partnership, a dissolution of the partnership or a change in ownership, legal or beneficial, of 50% or more of the partnership interests, whether by withdrawal or admission, voluntary or by operation of law; |

Tenant and Landlord shall execute and deliver such proofs of loss and other instruments that may be required for the purpose of obtaining the recovery of any such insurance monies.
D.

Subject to the foregoing, if the Premises should be damaged or destroyed by any peril covered by the insurance to be provided by Landlord under subparagraph 15.A., but only to the extent that rebuilding or repairs can in Landlord’s estimation be completed one hundred fifty (150) days after the date upon which the Landlord is notified by Tenant of such damage, this Lease shall not terminate, and Landlord shall at its sole cost and expense thereupon proceed
Lease Agreement | 7 | March 13, 2012 |
with reasonable diligence to rebuild and repair such buildings to substantially the condition in which they existed prior to such damage, except that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace any part of the partitions, fixtures, addition and other improvements which may have been placed in, on or about the Premises by Tenant. If the Premises are untenantable in whole or in part following such damage, the rent payable hereunder during the period in which they are untenantable shall be reduced to such extent Tenant is able to conduct its business. In the event that Landlord should fail to complete such repairs and rebuilding within one hundred fifty (150) days after the date upon which Landlord is notified by Tenant of such damage, Tenant may at its option terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to Landlord as Tenant’s exclusive remedy, whereupon all rights and obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate as of the date of such notice.
D. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event the holder of any indebtedness secured by a mortgage or deed to secure debt covering the Premises requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to such indebtedness, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after such requirement is made by any such holder, whereupon all rights and obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate.
E. Each of Landlord and Tenant hereby releases the other from any loss or damage to property caused by fire or any other perils insured through or under them by way of subrogation or otherwise for any loss or damage to property caused by fire or any other perils insured in policies of insurance covering such property, even if such loss or damage shall have been caused by the fault or negligence of the other party, or anyone for whom such party may be responsible; provided, however, that this release shall be applicable and in force and effect only with respect to loss or damage occurring during such times as the releasor’s policies shall contain a clause or endorsement to the effect that any such release shall not adversely affect or impair said policies or prejudice the right of the releasor to recover thereunder and then only to the extent of the insurance proceeds payable under such policies. Each of the Landlord and Tenant agrees that it will request its insurance carriers to include in its policies such a clause or endorsement. If extra cost shall be charged therefore, each party shall advise the other thereof and of the amount of the extra cost, and the other party, at its election, may pay the same, but shall not be obligated to do so.

18. CONDEMNATION.
A. If 80% or more of the gross square footage of the building in which the Premises are located should be taken for public or quasi-public use under governmental law, ordinance or regulation by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease and the rent shall be abated effective on the date of Landlord’s election to so terminate. Additionally, if the whole or any substantial part of the Premises should be taken for any public or quasi-public use under governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof and the taking would prevent or materially interfere with the use of the Premises for the purpose for which that are being used, this Lease shall terminate and the rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of this Lease, effective on the date of the physical taking of the Premises.
B. If part of the Premises shall be taken for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof, and this Lease is not terminated as provided in subparagraph 18A., this Lease shall not terminate but the rent payable hereunder during the unexpired portion of this Lease shall be reduced to such extent as may be fair and reasonable under all of the circumstances.
C. In the event of any such taking or private purchase in lieu thereof, Landlord and Tenant shall each be entitled to receive and retain such separate awards and/or portion of lump sum awards as may be allocated to their respective interests in any condemnation proceedings.
19. HOLDING OVER. Tenant shall, at the termination of this Lease by lapse of time or otherwise, deliver immediate possession of the Premises to Landlord. If Landlord agrees in writing that Tenant may hold over after the expiration or termination of this Lease, unless the parties hereto otherwise agree in writing on the terms of such holding over, the hold over tenancy shall be subject to termination by Landlord at any time upon not less than thirty (30) days advance written notice, or by Tenant at any time upon not less than thirty (30) days advance written notice, and all of the other terms and provisions of this Lease shall be applicable during that period, except that Tenant shall pay Landlord from time to time, upon demand, as rent for the period of any such hold over, an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the rent in effect on the termination date, computed on a daily basis for each day of the hold over period. No holding over by Tenant, whether with or without consent of Landlord, shall operate to extend this Lease except as otherwise expressly provided. The preceding provisions of this Paragraph 19 shall not be construed as Landlord’s consent for Tenant to hold over.
20. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord represents and warrants that it has full right and authority to enter into this Lease and that Tenant, upon paying the rent herein set forth and performing its other covenants agreements herein set forth, shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the Demised Term hereof, subject to the terms and provisions of this Lease.
21. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The following events shall each be deemed an event of default by Tenant under this Lease:
A. Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of the rent herein required when due, or any payment with respect to taxes hereunder when due, or any other payment or reimbursement to Landlord required herein when due, and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) days from the date of written notice from Landlord, provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to give such notice more than twice in a twelve (12) month period.

E. Tenant shall desert, abandon or vacate any substantial portion of the Premises.
F. Tenant shall fail to deliver an estoppel certificate to Landlord within the time frame set forth in Paragraph 24.
G. Tenant shall fail to comply with any term, provision or covenant of this Lease (other than as set forth in clauses A through F in this Paragraph 21), and shall not cure such failure within twenty (20) days after written notice thereof to Tenant; except however, in the event such cure is not available within twenty (20) days and Tenant continuously works to cure, then it shall have an extension until the compliance date.
22. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any of the events of default described in Paragraph 21 hereof, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies without notice or demand whatsoever:
A. Immediately or at any time thereafter terminate this Lease, and this Lease shall be deemed to have been terminated upon giving of notice of such termination pursuant to Paragraph 26 hereof. Upon such termination, Landlord shall have the right to recover from Tenant, as liquidated damages, the following:
(1) the worth, at the time of the award, of the unpaid rent that has been earned at the time of termination of this Lease: and
(2) the worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid rent that would have been earned after the date of termination of this Lease until the time of the award exceeds the net amount of rent that could have been reasonably obtained by Landlord using reasonable diligence to relet the Premises; and
(3) the worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease term (as extended), if applicable) after the time of the award exceeds the net amount of rent that reasonably could have been obtained by Landlord using reasonable diligence to relet the Premises; and
(4) any other amount and court costs necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment directly caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease.
Any such payment shall constitute liquidated damages to Landlord, Landlord and Tenant acknowledging and agreeing that it is difficult to determine the actual damages Landlord would suffer by virtue of an event of default and that the agreed-upon liquidated damages are not punitive or a penalty and are just, fair, and reasonable, all in accordance with O.C.G.A. sec. 13-6-7.
The following words and phrases as used above in this Paragraph 22.A. shall have the following meanings:
(i) the “worth at the time of the award” as used in Paragraph 22.A. (1) and (2) shall be computed by allowing interest at the lesser of (A) eight percent (8%) per annum or (B) the maximum rate permitted by law.
(ii) the “worth at the time of the award” as used in Paragraph 22.A (3) shall be computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of six percent (6%) per annum;
(iii) the term “time of the award” shall mean either the date upon which Tenant pays to Landlord the amount recoverable by Landlord as set forth above or the date of entry of any determination, order, or judgment of any court, whichever first occurs: and
Lease Agreement | 10 | March 13, 2012 |
(iv) the term “net amount of rent” means the gross rent payable under a lease reletting the Premises on market terms for the remaining Term of this Lease from and after the time of the award, less the amortized portion (such amortization being on a straightline basis over the term of the subject lease) attributable to the remaining Term of this Lease from and after the time of the award of brokerage commissions and fees, design fees, attorney’s fees, improvement allowances, rent concessions, improvement costs, and other economic concessions and costs made or incurred in connection with a reletting of the Premises to a third party on market terms.
B. Enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, by force if necessary (to the extent permitted by law), without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages thereof, and relet the Premises and receive the rent therefore; and Tenant agrees to pay to the Landlord on demand any deficiency that may arise by reason of such reletting. In the event Landlord is successful in reletting the Premises at a rent in excess of that agreed to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant each mutually agree that Tenant shall not be entitled, under any circumstances, to such excess rent, and Tenant does hereby specifically waive any claim to such excess rent.
C. Enter upon the Premises, by force if necessary (to the extent permitted by law), without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefore, and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease; and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses which Landlord may incur in 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 the Tenant from such action, whether caused by the negligence of Landlord or otherwise.
D. Landlord shall have all other rights and remedies provided by law or in equity.
In the event Tenant fails to pay any installment of rent hereunder within five (5) days after such installment is due, to help defray the additional cost to Landlord for processing such late payments, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such installment; and the failure to pay such amount within ten (10) days shall be an event of default hereunder. The provision for such late charge shall be in addition to all Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord’s remedies in any manner.
Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any of the other remedies herein provided or any other remedies provided by law, nor shall pursuit of any remedy herein provided constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any rent due to Landlord hereunder or any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to Paragraph 22.A. hereof, Landlord’s remedies thereunder constituting liquidated damages shall be Landlord’s exclusive remedies hereunder respecting Landlord’s breach of contract damages resulting from the termination of this Lease. No act or thing done by the Landlord or its agents during the Demised Term shall be deemed a termination of this Lease or an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to terminate this Lease or accept a surrender of the Premises shall be valid unless in writing signed by Landlord. No waiver by Landlord of any violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained. Landlord’s acceptance of the payment of rent or other payments hereunder after the occurrence of an event of default shall not be construed as a waiver of such default, unless Landlord so notifies Tenant in writing. 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 or of Landlord’s right to enforce any such remedies with respect to such default or any subsequent default. If, on account of any breach or default by Tenant in Tenant’s obligations under the terms and conditions of this Lease, it shall become necessary or appropriate for Landlord to employ or consult with an attorney concerning or to enforce or defend any of Landlord’s rights or remedies hereunder, Tenant agrees to pay any reasonable attorney’s fees so incurred.
Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any and all losses, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees), liabilities, causes of action, suits, claims, and damages arising out of, or in connection with any violation or breach of, or failure of Tenant to fully and completely observe, satisfy, perform and comply with, the terms and conditions of this Lease.

23. LANDLORD’S LIEN. [Intentionally Deleted]
24. MORTGAGES, GROUND LEASES AND ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.
A. Tenant hereby agrees and accepts that this Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to any mortgage(s) and/or deeds to secure debt (collectively referred to as the “Mortgage”) now or any time hereafter constituting a lien or charge upon the Premises or the improvements situated thereon; provided, however, that if the holder of any such Mortgage elects to have Tenant’s interest in this Lease superior to any such instrument, then by notice to Tenant from such holder, this Lease shall be deemed superior to such lien, whether this Lease was executed before or after said Mortgage. If the holder of the Mortgage or any successor in interest shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease through a foreclosure sale or a sale in lieu of foreclosure, Tenant will attorn to and recognize such successor-landlord as Tenant’s landlord and such successor-landlord shall accept such attornment and recognize Tenant’s rights of possession and use of the Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. At the request of any holder of a Mortgage, Tenant, Landlord and such holder shall enter into a subordination, non- disturbance and attornment agreement reasonably acceptable to Landlord, Tenant and such holder, but in any event substantially consistent with the terms of this Lease. Tenant shall at any time hereafter on demand execute any instruments, releases or other documents which may be required by the holder of the Mortgage for the purpose of subjecting and subordinating this Lease to the lien of any such Mortgage.
If, in connection with obtaining financing or refinancing for the Premises, or a sale of the Premises, any lender or purchaser shall request reasonable modifications in this Lease as a condition to such financing or purchase, Tenant will not unreasonably withhold or delay or defer its consent thereto, provided that such modifications do not increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder or materially and adversely affect Tenant’s rights hereunder.
B. Tenant hereby further agrees and accepts that this Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to any ground lease now or at any time hereafter affecting the Premises. Tenant shall at any time hereafter on demand execute any instruments, releases or other documents which may be required by the ground lessor of any ground lease affecting the Premises for the purpose of subjecting and subordinating this Lease to any such ground lease.
In the event any ground lessor of a ground lease affecting the Premises requests reasonable modifications in this Lease, Tenant will not unreasonably withhold or delay or defer its consent thereto, provided that such modifications do not increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder or materially and adversely affect Tenant’s rights hereunder.
C. At any time and from time to time designated by Landlord, Tenant will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, within ten (10) days after receipt of a request from Landlord, a certificate certifying (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect, as modified, and stating the date and nature of each modification), (b) the date, if any, to which rent and other sums payable hereunder have been paid, (c) that no notice has been received by Tenant of any default which has not been cured, except as to defaults specified in said certificate, and (d) such other matters as may be requested by Landlord. Any such certificate may be relied upon by any existing or prospective purchaser, investor, ground lessor, mortgagee or holder of any deed to secure debt on the Building or any part thereof.
25. MECHANIC’S LIENS. Tenant shall have no authority, express or implied, to create or place any lien or encumbrance of any kind or nature whatever upon or in any matter to bind, the interest of Landlord in the Premises or to charge the rent payable hereunder for any claim in favor of any person dealing with Tenant, including those who may furnish materials or perform labor for any construction or repairs and each such claim shall affect and each such lien shall attach to, if at all, only the leasehold interest granted to Tenant by this instrument. Tenant

covenants and agrees that it will pay or cause to be paid all sums legally due and payable by it on account of any labor performed or materials furnished in connection with any work performed on the Premises on which any lien is or can be validly and legally asserted against its leasehold interest in the Premises or the improvements thereon and that it will save and hold Landlord harmless from any and all loss, cost or expense based on or arising out of asserted claims or liens against the leasehold estate or against the right, title and interest of the Landlord in the Premises or under the terms of the lease.

30. RIGHT TO RELOCATE. Anytime after the Twenty-fourth (24) month following the Commencement Date, or anytime after the after sixieth (60th) month following the Commencement Date provided Tenant has exercised its Renewal Option under Section 32 (Renewal Option), Landlord shall have the option to relocate the Tenant to alternative space (“Relocated Space”) in the Building or Park at any time during the Term of the Lease, which alternative space shall be substantially the same size as the Premises. In the event, Landlord is interested in relocating Tenant to a purposed Relocated Space, Landlord shall send written notice to Tenant with the location of the Relocated Space and Tenant shall have five (5) business days to decide in writing, to Landlord, if the Relocation Space is acceptable or not to Tenant. If Tenant does not send written notice to Landlord of its decision to accept or reject the purposed Relocated Space, Tenant shall have deemed to have accepted the Relocated Space. If Tenant responds in writing, that the Relocated Space is not acceptable, Landlord, at it’s option, shall have five (5) business days to decide whether or not to terminate the Lease with written notice to Tenant.

Landlord shall pay all reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses of relocating Tenant. If the Premises have already been improved for Tenant’s occupancy, Landlord shall improve the new premises at its expense such that they are in substantially the same condition as the Premises. In the event of such relocation, such alternative space shall, for all purposes, be deemed the Premises hereunder and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect without any change in the other terms or conditions hereof; provided however, the Base Rent and other expenses paid hereunder shall be adjusted such that the Base Rent and other expenses paid by Tenant for the new premises shall be the same on a per square foot basis as they are for the Premises.

Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Demised Term, and prior to Tenant vacating the Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord any amount reasonably estimated by Landlord as necessary to put the Premises, including without limitation, all heating and air conditioning systems and equipment therein, in good condition and repair. Tenant shall also, prior to vacating the Premises, pay to Landlord the amount, as estimated by Landlord, of Tenant’s obligation hereunder for real estate taxes and insurance premiums for the year in which the lease expires or terminates. All such amounts shall be used and held by Landlord for payment of such obligations of Tenant hereunder, with Tenant being liable for any additional costs therefore upon demand by Landlord, or being liable for any additional costs therefore upon demand by Landlord, or with any excess to be returned to Tenant after all such obligations have been determined and satisfied, as the case may be.

Provided Tenant is the prevailing party, Landlord agrees to pay any and all attorneys’ fees and expenses Tenant incurs in enforcing any of the obligations of Landlord under this Lease.

L. Neither this Lease, nor any memorandum, affidavit or other writing with respect thereto, shall be recorded by Tenant or by anyone acting through, under or on behalf of Tenant, and the recording thereof in violation of this provision shall make this Lease voidable at Landlord’s election.
