The boundaries and location of the Premises are highlighted on the Site Plan diagram attached hereto as Exhibit “B-1” and the Existing Floor Plan of the Premises, attached hereto as Exhibit “B-2”, which set forth the general layout of the Premises, respectively, as of the Effective Date of this Lease, but neither Exhibit “B-1” or Exhibit “B-2” shall be deemed to be a warranty, representation, or agreement upon the part of the Landlord that said Premises will be exactly as indicated on said diagram.

RENT

Section 2.1 Fixed Minimum Rent

The total Fixed Minimum Rent for the Lease Term shall be payable by Tenant as specified in Item 9 of the Definitions and in the Special Stipulations attached hereto as Exhibit “A”.

The Fixed Minimum Rent shall be payable monthly in advance on the first day of each month, without prior demand therefore and without any deduction or setoff whatsoever. In addition, Tenant covenants and agrees to pay Landlord all applicable sales or other taxes which may be imposed on the above specified rents or payments hereinafter provided for to be received by Landlord when each such payment is made. If Tenant pays any installment of Fixed Minimum Rent or any other sum by check and such check is returned for insufficient funds or other reasons not the fault of Landlord, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a service fee of $30.00 per returned check plus the amount of any fees charged to Landlord by a bank as a result of the check not being honored.

Section 2.2 Late Payment Fee

Should Tenant fail to pay when due any installment of Fixed Minimum Rent or any other sum payable to Landlord under the terms of this Lease, then Landlord shall assess a servicing fee of Five Percent (5%) of any sum due to Landlord (the "Late Payment Fee") from and after the tenth (10th) day following the date on which any sum shall be due and payable; provided, however, Landlord agrees to waive the Late Payment Fee once during any 12-month period provided that Tenant pays the amount due under this Lease within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that such late fee is intended as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, to compensate Landlord for its costs of handling the late payment. Failure of Landlord to enforce the late payment fee shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to assess said fee in the future and shall not constitute a waiver of any other rights Landlord may have at law or in equity.

Section 2.3 Additional Rent - Definition

In addition to the foregoing Fixed Minimum Rent, all payments to be made under this Lease by Tenant to Landlord shall be deemed to be and shall become Additional Rent hereunder and, together with Fixed Minimum Rent, shall be included in the term “Rent” whenever such term is used herein. Unless another time shall be herein expressly provided for the payment thereof, any Additional Rent shall be due and payable together with each installment of Fixed Minimum Rent, and Landlord shall have the same remedies for failure to pay Additional Rent as for non-payment of Fixed Minimum Rent. Subject to any notice and cure periods set forth in this Lease, Landlord, at its election, shall have the right to pay or do any act which requires the expenditure of any sums of money by reason of the failure or neglect of Tenant to perform any of the provisions of this Lease, and in the event Landlord elects to pay such sums or do such acts requiring the expenditure of monies, all such sums so paid by Landlord, together with interest thereon, shall be deemed to be Additional Rent and payable as such by Tenant to Landlord upon demand.

Landlord shall operate, manage, light, repair and maintain said Common Areas for its intended purposes in such manner as Landlord, in its sole discretion, shall determine. Additionally, so long as Landlord does not materially and adversely affect Tenant’s business operation on the Premises, or Tenant’s ability to access and park on the Premises, Landlord reserves the right to change from time to time the size, location, nature and use of any Common Areas, to make additional installations therein and to move and remove the same, and Landlord shall not be subject to liability therefore nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation, or diminution or abatement of Rent, nor shall any such action be deemed an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant.

Section 3.2 Use of Common Areas

During the Term of this Lease, Tenant and its permitted concessionaires, officers, employees, agents, customers and invitees shall have the non-exclusive right, in common with Landlord and all others to whom Landlord has or may hereafter grant rights, to use the Common Areas as (defined in Section 3.1 above), subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time impose. Tenant agrees after notice thereof to abide by such rules and regulations and to use its best efforts to cause its permitted concessionaires, officers, employees, agents, customers and invitees to conform thereto. Landlord may at any time close temporarily any Common Areas to make repairs or changes to same and grant to third persons the non-exclusive right to cross over and use the Common Areas along with Landlord, and Landlord shall not be subject to liability therefore nor shall any such action be deemed an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant. Further, Landlord may do such other acts in and to the Common Areas as in its reasonable judgment may be desirable to improve the convenience thereof. Neither Tenant nor Tenant’s employees, concessionaires, officers or agents may solicit business in the Common Areas, including but not limited to the distribution of handbills or other advertising matter and placing any such handbills or advertising matter in or on any vehicles parked at the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent. Tenant shall at no time unreasonably interfere with the rights of Landlord and others to use and enjoy any part of the Common Areas.

Section 3.3 Tenant to Share Expense of Common Areas

Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner provided in Section 3.4, Tenant’s pro rata share of Operating Costs. “Operating Costs” shall be defined as and consist of all costs and expenses of every kind and nature, paid or incurred by Landlord, its agents or any contractor employed by Landlord with respect to the operation and maintenance of the Common Areas and the buildings on the Premises including but not be limited to: maintaining lighting fixtures, including cost of light bulbs and electric current (provided, however, that if a Tenant requires that the Premise remain illuminated after 11 p.m., Tenant shall be responsible for the cost allocable to said requirement); salaries and related costs of all on-site personnel (full-time and part-time); repairs, maintenance and replacements necessary for operation of the Common Areas, including all repairs, maintenance to the fire sprinkler system and all components thereof (but excluding replacements of the fire sprinkler system); costs and expenses of planting, maintaining, replanting and replacing flowers and other landscaping; mowing of grass; utilities; all costs of roof repairs and replacements including gutters and downspouts for up to fifty percent (50%) of the roof areas of the building on the Premises, all costs of paving repairs including resealing and restriping, patching holes and repaving for up to fifty percent (50%) of the parking lot and access drives on serving the Premises; removal of trash, rubbish, garbage and other refuse; cleaning; supplies; cost of operating, maintaining and repairing retaining walls, stairs, ramps, sidewalks, and other elements exterior to the building on the Premises; costs incurred by Landlord for the illumination and maintenance of the pylon sign at Home Center Village on which Tenant’s sign panels will be located; equipment depreciation; parcel pick-up stations; service contracts with independent contractors; advertising and promotion; and management, administrative and overhead costs equal to three percent (3%) of the total annual Fixed Minimum Rent.

-5-

Section 3.4 Landlord’s Operating Costs

Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Estimated Landlord’s Operating Costs specified in Item 11 of the Definitions, payable in advance in equal monthly installments, together with the payment of the monthly Fixed Minimum Rent, during the first Lease Year or Partial Lease Year of the Lease Term. At the end of each Lease Year, Landlord shall determine Tenant’s actual pro rata share of the Operating Costs paid or incurred by Landlord during the prior Lease Year. In the event Tenant’s actual pro rata share of Operating Costs, as determined by Landlord, exceeds the sums paid by Tenant during the Lease Year in which such costs are incurred, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the excess on or before the first day of the month following receipt of Landlord’s statement invoicing the amount due by Tenant. The monthly Estimated Landlord’s Operating Costs for each succeeding year may be adjusted, at Landlord’s option, based on Landlord’s estimate of such costs for each succeeding period.

If the Lease expires during a Partial Lease Year, and Tenant’s pro rata share of Landlord’s Operating Costs, as determined by Landlord, exceeds the sums paid by Tenant during the Partial Lease Year, Landlord shall bill Tenant within a reasonable time after the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease, for such excess costs for the Partial Lease Year. Tenant shall remit full payment to Landlord within fifteen (15) days of such bill. If Tenant fails to remit such full payment to Landlord, Landlord in its sole discretion may deduct the amount due from the Security Deposit and shall be entitled to all other rights and remedies hereunder for Tenant’s default.

Tenant shall have the right, upon ten (10) business days' prior notice (which may be telephonic) to Landlord, to audit the books and accounts of Landlord to confirm the calculation and accuracy of Operating Costs for any Lease Year or Partial Lease Year, as applicable, during the Lease Term. Such audit shall be conducted at a place reasonably designated by Landlord. In the event of an inaccuracy in Operating Costs actually paid by Tenant as compared to Operating Costs actually incurred and owed by Tenant, such shall be reconciled within thirty (30) days of discovering same. In the event that amounts Tenant actually paid for Operating Costs exceed the amount for Operating Costs actually owed by Tenant hereunder, when correctly accounted for and calculated, by three percent (3%) or greater of such amount actually owed, then Landlord shall pay or reimburse Tenant for the reasonable cost of the audit.

ARTICLE IV

UTILITY SERVICES

Section 4.1 Utilities

Tenant agrees that it shall not install any equipment which will exceed or overload the capacity of any utility facilities existing in the Premises on the Lease Commencement Date and that if any equipment installed by Tenant shall require additional utility facilities, the same shall be installed at Tenant’s expense in accordance with plans and specifications to be approved in writing by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant shall contract for all utilities in its own name and shall promptly pay for all utilities rendered or furnished to the Premises from and after the date Tenant assumes possession of the Premises (irrespective of whether Tenant shall have opened for business in the Premises) including, but not limited to, water/sewer, gas, and electricity charges and all taxes thereon.

Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for damages due to any interruption or impairment of any such utility or related service, except if the cause of such interruption or impairment is due to the intentional misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s agents, representatives, contractors and employees.

Section 5.1 Tenant’s Taxes

Tenant covenants and agrees to pay timely when due all taxes imposed upon its business operations and its personal property situated in the Premises.

Section 5.2 Tenant’s Participation in Real Estate Taxes

Landlord will pay all “Real Estate Taxes” which shall include:

(i)

all real property taxes, including extraordinary, general, and/or special assessments imposed by federal, state, or local governmental authority or any other taxing authority having jurisdiction over the Premises;

(ii)

all real estate taxes levied and/or assessed against the Premises being located within the jurisdiction of a community development district, tax allocation district, community improvement district, special tax district, municipal tax district, a business park, municipal improvement district, and/or other similar tax program (collectively referred to as the “Special Tax Assessments”) and which are included in the tax bill (or in the alternative are charged by the applicable governmental and/or quasi-governmental agency(ies) to Landlord);

(iii)

any resource recovery taxes or fees, retrofit taxes or fees, or any other special tax which may be assessed and imposed on the Premises by any federal, state, or local government, including, without limitation, the Special Tax Assessments, or any other special assessment against the Premises; and

(iv)

any other assessments which may be levied or imposed on the Premises which are included on the Landlord’s realty tax or assessment bill, including but not limited to, any and all costs, fees, and expenses incurred by Landlord in negotiating, appealing or contesting such taxes and assessments.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Real Estate Taxes shall not include: (i) any franchise, capital, stock, transfer, inheritance, succession, special assessment, estate, gift or income tax; and (ii) late payment charges, interest and penalties imposed on Landlord.

Tenant, for each Lease Year or Partial Lease Year, as defined in Section 1.8, during the Term of this Lease or any renewal thereof, shall pay to Landlord its prorata share, as hereinafter defined, of all Real Estate Taxes assessed or levied against the Premises. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Estimated Tax Charge specified in Item 14 of the Definitions, payable in advance in equal monthly installments, together with the payment of the monthly Fixed Minimum Rent, during the first Lease Year or Partial Lease Year of the Lease Term. At the end of such year and each Lease Year thereafter, Landlord shall furnish Tenant a statement of the actual Real Estate Taxes together with an invoice for any additional Tax Charge, which shall be paid within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s statement. If the aggregate amount of Real Estate Taxes actually paid by Tenant during a given Lease Year or Partial Lease Year, as applicable, exceeds Tenant's actual liability for such Lease Year or Partial Lease Year, the excess shall be credited against the Real Estate Taxes next due from Tenant during the immediately subsequent Lease Year or Partial Lease Year, as applicable, except that in the event that such excess is paid by Tenant during the final Lease Year or Partial Lease Year, as applicable, of the Lease Term, then upon the expiration of the Lease Term, Landlord shall pay Tenant the then-applicable excess within fifteen (15) days after determination thereof. The monthly Estimated Tax Charge for each succeeding year may be adjusted based on Landlord’s estimate of the Real Estate Taxes for each period. Tenant’s share shall be prorated in the event Tenant is required to make such payment for a Partial Lease Year. In addition, should the taxing authorities include in such Real Estate Taxes the value of any improvements made by Tenant, or include machinery, equipment, fixtures, inventory or other personal property or assets of the Tenant then Tenant shall also pay 100% of the Personal Property Taxes and Real Estate Taxes for such items. If the Lease expires during a Partial Lease Year, Landlord shall bill Tenant, not more than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration date to the Lease, for its estimated pro rata share of Real Estate Taxes for the Partial Lease Year. Tenant shall remit full payment to Landlord within fifteen (15) days of such bill. Should any governmental taxing authority, acting under any present or future law, ordinance, or regulation, levy, assess or impose a tax, excise and/or assessment (other than income or franchise tax) upon or against or in any way related to the land and buildings comprising the Premises, either by way of substitution or in addition to any existing tax on land and buildings or otherwise, Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay to Landlord its pro rata share as set forth above of such tax, excise and/or assessment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in no event shall Tenant be responsible or be required to pay or contribute to the payment of any Real Estate Taxes applicable to the period prior to the Lease Commencement Date or after the Lease Expiration Date.

All property of Tenant, including merchandise and furnishings, kept or stored on the Premises shall be so kept or stored at the risk of Tenant only and Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims arising out of damage to same.

If Landlord fails to perform such maintenance or repair within thirty (30) days after receiving from Tenant written notice of the need for same or if such maintenance or repair cannot be performed within thirty (30) days, commence the maintenance and repair within thirty (30) days, and diligently prosecute it to completion, Tenant may make such repairs after giving Landlord ten (10) days prior written notice and using the lowest of three (3) competitive bids, and deduct the costs thereof from sums due Landlord hereunder.

Section 6.2 Repairs and Maintenance by Tenant

Any damage to the exterior walls to which a sign may be attached, including but not limited to rust stains and structural cracking of the fascia, caused by Tenant’s signage shall be repaired by Tenant at its sole cost.

Tenant shall obtain and deliver to Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost, a maintenance agreement with a reputable licensed HVAC contractor reasonably approved by Landlord for the servicing of the HVAC system throughout the Term of this Lease and all extensions thereof.

Section 7.2 Tenant’s Right to Go Dark; Landlord’s Recapture Right

At any time during the Term, including any Extension Term (as defined in Exhibit "A"), Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cease its business operations within the Premises (which may be referred to herein as “Go Dark” or any verb-tense variation thereof); provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to affect Tenant’s obligation to pay full Rent during the period Tenant has Gone Dark. If Tenant Goes Dark from the Premises for a period of one hundred eighty (180) or more consecutive days or for a period of three hundred sixty five (365) or more days in the aggregate at any time during the Term (“Dark Period”), except for a Permitted Closure (as defined below), Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, as its sole and exclusive remedy for early termination of the Lease, to terminate this Lease and recapture the Premises at any time after such Dark Period by delivering written notice to Tenant indicating its election to so terminate this Lease (“Termination Notice”).

Section 8.2 By Tenant

Tenant may, from time to time, at its expense, make alterations or improvements in and to the Premises (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Alterations") without acquiring the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, provided that: (a) the Alterations are non-structural and the structural integrity of the building in which the Premises is located shall not be affected; (b) the Alterations are to the interior of the Premises; (c) the proper functioning of the electrical, mechanical, plumbing, HVAC or other systems servicing the Premises is not impaired; or (d) the cost in each case does not exceed Ten Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) (the "Permitted Alterations"). For any other Alterations, Tenant shall be required to obtain the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition, or delay. If Tenant makes written request for any Alterations requiring Landlord's prior written consent, such request must be accompanied by a description of the proposed Alterations. If Landlord fails to deny consent to the proposed Alterations in writing accompanied by reasons for such denial within thirty (30) days of Tenant's request, then Landlord shall be deemed to have granted consent to the Alterations described. After obtaining Landlord's consent for any Alterations (either expressly or by inference), Tenant shall give Landlord at least five (5) days' prior written notice of the commencement of any Alterations at the Premises, and Landlord may elect to record and post notices of non-responsibility at the Premises. This provision shall apply to improvements made by Tenant at any time, including Tenant’s initial leasehold improvements and fixturing. No changes, alterations, or improvements affecting the exterior of the Premises shall be made by Tenant without the prior written approval of Landlord.

Section 8.3 Construction Insurance and Indemnity

Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims for loss or damages or otherwise based upon or in any manner growing out of any alterations or construction undertaken by Tenant under the terms of this Lease, including all costs, damages, expenses, court costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in or resulting from claims made by any person or persons.

Before undertaking any alterations or construction (excluding any Permitted Alterations), Tenant shall obtain and pay for a public liability policy insuring Landlord and Tenant against any liability which may arise on account of such proposed alterations or construction work in limits of not less than $1,000,000.00 for any one person, $1,000,000.00 for more than one person in any one accident and $1,000,000.00 for property damage; and a copy of such policy shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the commencement of such proposed work. Tenant shall also maintain at all times fire insurance with extended coverage in the name of Landlord and Tenant as their interests may appear in the amount adequate to cover the cost of replacement of all alterations, decoration, additions or improvements in and to the Premises and all trade fixtures therein, in the event of fire or extended coverage loss. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of such fire insurance policies which shall contain a clause requiring the insurer to give Landlord thirty (30) days’ notice of cancellation of such policies.

Tenant shall notify all parties with whom it deals that Tenant (and such party acting by and through Tenant) has no power to subject the Landlord’s interest in the Premises to any claim or lien of any kind or character and any parties dealing with the Tenant must look solely to the credit of the Tenant for payment and not to the Landlord’s interest in the Premises or otherwise.

Section 8.5 Trade Fixtures

All trade fixtures and equipment installed by Tenant in the Premises shall remain the property of Tenant. Provided Tenant is not in default hereunder beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant shall have the right, upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, to remove any and all such trade fixtures and equipment not constituting a part of the freehold which it may have stored or installed in the Premises, including, but not limited to, counters, shelving, showcases, chairs, and moveable machinery purchased or provided by Tenant, provided this right is exercised on or before the expiration or termination date of this Lease and provided that Tenant, at its own cost and expense, shall repair any damage to the Premises caused thereby.

ARTICLE IX

INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY

Section 9.1 Tenant’s Insurance

Tenant covenants and agrees to procure and maintain, at Tenant’s expense, prior to entry upon the Premises, in responsible companies reasonably approved by Landlord, combined single limit public liability insurance, insuring Landlord and Tenant, as their interests may appear, against all claims, demands or actions for bodily injury, including death of any person, property damage, and personal injury with limits of not less than $1,000,000.00 for each occurrence and $2,000,000.00 on an annual aggregate basis, and also casualty coverage insuring Landlord and Tenant, as their interests may appear, with a limit of not less than $300,000.00 for each occurrence. Landlord shall have the right to direct Tenant to increase such amounts whenever Landlord’s insurance carrier or governing authority considers them inadequate. Such liability insurance shall also cover any liability from signs erected by Tenant. The policy of insurance shall provide that Landlord is specifically named as an additional insured therein. Tenant shall also maintain, at its own cost and expense, with nationally recognized companies, insurance as follows: (1) insurance commonly known as “special all risk property insurance” on property belonging to Tenant or for which Tenant is the bailee covering 100% of the replacement cost of any item of value including Tenant’s property and specifically including but not limited to signs, stock, inventory, furniture and fixtures, equipment, and improvements and betterments installed by Tenant; (2) business interruption insurance covering 100% of Tenant’s actual loss sustained for a period not exceeding twelve (12) months; and (3) insurance covering all glass forming a part of the Premises including plate glass in the Premises. All of said insurance shall be in form and in responsible companies licensed to do business in the State of Georgia and shall have an A.M. Best Rating of at least A-,VIII and shall endeavor to provide that it will not be subject to cancellation or termination or change except after at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord. The certificates of insurance shall be deposited with Landlord no later than the day Tenant opens for business. Thereafter, Tenant shall provide Landlord with certificates of insurance within fifteen (15) days after renewal of any such policy. In the event Tenant fails to obtain or maintain the insurance required hereunder, and fails to provide Landlord with the required certificates of insurance within thirty (30) days after demand therefore, Landlord may obtain same (but shall have no obligation to do so) and any costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith shall be payable by Tenant upon demand. Tenant agrees that its insurance shall be primary over any insurance, which may be purchased by the Landlord. In the event of any loss of property or earnings of the Tenant as a result of property damage, the Tenant agrees not to subrogate against the Landlord and further agrees that it shall require an express waiver of any right of subrogation by its insurance company against Landlord.

Section 9.2 Extra Hazard Insurance Premiums

Tenant agrees that it will not knowingly keep, use, sell or offer for sale in or upon the Premises any article or permit any activity, which may be prohibited by the standard form of fire or public liability insurance policy. Tenant agrees to pay any increase in premiums for fire and extended coverage or public liability insurance which may be carried by Landlord on the Premises or the building of which they are a part, resulting from the type of merchandise sold or services rendered by Tenant or activities in the Premises, whether or not Landlord has consented to the same. In determining whether increased premiums are the result of Tenant’s use of the Premises, a schedule, issued by the organization making the insurance rate on the Premises, showing various components of such rate, shall be conclusive evidence of the several items and charges, which make up the fire and public liability insurance rate on the Premises.

Tenant shall not knowingly use or occupy the Premises or any part thereof, or suffer or permit the same to be used or occupied for any business or purpose deemed extra hazardous on account of fire or otherwise. In the event Tenant’s use and/or occupancy causes any increase of premium for the fire, boiler and/or casualty rates on the Premises or any part thereof above the rate for the least hazardous type of occupancy legally permitted in the Premises, Tenant shall pay such additional premium on the fire, boiler and/or casualty insurance policy that may be carried by Landlord for its protection against rent loss through fire. Bills for such additional premiums shall be rendered by Landlord to Tenant at such times as Landlord may elect, and shall be due from and payable to Tenant when rendered in writing, but such increases in the rate of insurance shall not be deemed a breach of this covenant by Tenant. Failure to pay amounts due hereunder shall be a breach of the Lease.

Section 9.3 Indemnity

Tenant during the Term hereof shall indemnify and save harmless Landlord, including its employees, agents, and property manager, if any, from and against any and all claims and demands whether for injuries to persons or loss of life, or damage to property, occurring within the Premises and immediately adjoining the Premises and arising out of the use and occupancy of the Premises by Tenant, or occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of Tenant, its subtenants, agents, contractors, employees, servants, lessees or concessionaires, excepting however, such claims and demands, whether for injuries to persons or loss of life, or damage to property, caused by the negligence of Landlord, its employees, agents, and property manager. If, however, any liability arises in the Common Areas because of the negligence of Tenant, Tenant’s subtenants, agents, employees, contractors, invitees, customers or visitors, then in such event Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless. In case Landlord shall, without fault on its part, be made a party to any litigation that is covered by the indemnity by Tenant in the foregoing two sentences, then Tenant shall protect and hold Landlord harmless and shall pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred or paid by Landlord in connection with such litigation. The obligation of Tenant to indemnify Landlord under this Section 9.3 shall survive the termination of the Lease. Nothing in this Section 9.3 shall modify or alter the Tenant’s responsibility to purchase the insurance required by Section 9.1.

-12-

Landlord during the Term hereof shall indemnify and save harmless Tenant, including its employees, agents, and property manager, if any, from and against any and all claims and demands whether for injuries to persons or loss of life, or damage to property, occurring within the Common Areas occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of Landlord, its agents, contractors or employees, excepting however, such claims and demands, whether for injuries to persons or loss of life, or damage to property, caused by the negligence of Tenant including Tenant's subtenants, agents, employees or contractors. If any liability arises in the Premises because of the negligence of Landlord, Landlord's agents, employees or property manager, then in such event Landlord shall hold Tenant harmless. In case Tenant shall, without fault on its part, be made a party to any litigation that is covered by the indemnity by Landlord in the foregoing two sentences, then Landlord shall protect and hold Tenant harmless and shall pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred or paid by Tenant in connection with such litigation. The obligation of Landlord to indemnify Tenant under this Section 9.3 shall survive the termination of the Lease. Nothing in this Section 9.3 shall modify or alter Landlord's responsibility to purchase the insurance required by Section 9.4.

Section 9.4 Tenant’s Participation in Insurance

Landlord will pay all premiums for liability, fire, casualty and other property related insurance for the Premises, including any insurance, such as flood insurance, which in the reasonable judgment of Landlord is necessary (collectively, “Insurance”). Tenant for each Lease Year or Partial Lease Year during the Term of this Lease or any renewal thereof, shall pay to Landlord its Pro Rata Share of Insurance. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall also pay its Pro Rata Share of any Insurance deductible (“Deductible Share”) paid by Landlord in the event of a claim or insured loss. The Deducible Share shall be determined by multiplying the applicable deductible amount paid by Landlord by Tenant’s pro rata share. The Deductible Share shall be amortized and paid by Tenant in monthly installments over the remaining term of the Lease beginning the month next succeeding the date on which Landlord notifies Tenant in writing about same.

Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Insurance Charge specified in Exhibit “A” monthly. At the end of each Lease Year (or Partial Lease Year, if applicable), Landlord shall determine Tenant’s actual Pro Rata Share of Insurance for such preceding Lease Year. In the event Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Insurance exceeds the Insurance Charge paid by Tenant for such preceding Lease Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the excess amount within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s statement invoicing the amount due by Tenant. If the aggregate amount of Insurance actually paid by Tenant during a given Lease Year or Partial Lease Year, as applicable, exceeds Tenant's actual liability for such Lease Year or Partial Lease Year, the excess shall be credited against the payment of Insurance next due from Tenant during the immediately subsequent Lease Year or Partial Lease Year, as applicable, except that in the event that such excess is paid by Tenant during the final Lease Year or Partial Lease Year, as applicable, of the Lease Term, then upon the expiration of the Lease Term, Landlord shall pay Tenant the then-applicable excess within fifteen (15) days after determination thereof. The Insurance Charge for each succeeding Lease Year may be adjusted based on Landlord’s estimate of the Insurance for such succeeding Lease Year. If the Lease expires during a Partial Lease Year, Landlord shall bill Tenant, not more than sixty (60) days following to the Expiration Date of the Lease, for its estimated Pro Rata Share of Insurance for the Partial Lease Year. Tenant shall remit full payment to Landlord within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such bill. If Tenant fails to remit such payment to Landlord, Landlord in its sole discretion may deduct the amount due from Tenant’s Security Deposit and/or pursue all other rights and remedies hereunder for Tenant’s default.

Any Insurance policy maintained by Landlord shall be for the sole benefit of Landlord, and Tenant shall have no right or claim to any proceeds thereof or any other rights thereunder. Further, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant’s obligation to pay its Pro Rata Share of Insurance for the Premises shall not give Tenant any rights under any Insurance policy maintained by Landlord, nor shall such obligation constitute a waiver of subrogation on the part of Landlord’s Insurance carrier to assert claims against Tenant for damage to the Premises caused by Tenant’s negligence, or for Landlord to assert any such claims against Tenant for uninsured losses. Specifically, nothing in this Lease shall be construed to prohibit or diminish either the subrogation rights of Landlord’s insurance carrier against Tenant or Landlord’s rights to assert claims against Tenant in its own name for damage caused by Tenant’s negligence.

Section 9.5 Mutual Waiver of Claims and Subrogation

LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE AND RELEASE ANY CLAIM THAT EITHER OF THEM MAY HEREAFTER HAVE AGAINST THE OTHER ON ACCOUNT OF ANY DAMAGE TO THE PROPERTY OF THE WAIVING PARTY, EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGE SHALL BE DUE TO THE NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF THE OTHER PARTY. LANDLORD AND TENANT SHALL EACH CAUSE THEIR RESPECTIVE PROPERTY INSURANCE POLICIES TO CONTAIN EITHER A WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT OF SUBROGATION THE INSURER OF ONE PARTY HERETO MAY ACQUIRE AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY HERETO BY VIRTUE OF PAYMENT OF ANY LOSS UNDER ANY SUCH INSURANCE OR AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT BY THE INSURER THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER OF CLAIMS DOES NOT IMPAIR OR INVALIDATE SUCH POLICY OF INSURANCE.

ARTICLE X

DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION

Section 10.1 Damage or Destruction by Fire or Other Casualty

Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord in case of fire or other damage to the Premises or the building(s) containing the Premises. In the event the Premises are damaged by fire, explosion, flood, Tornado or by the elements, or through any casualty, or otherwise, after the commencement of the Term of this Lease, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If the extent of the damage is less than Fifty Percent (50%) of the cost of replacement of the Premises, the damage shall promptly be repaired by Landlord at Landlord’s expense, provided that Landlord shall not be obligated to expend for such repair an amount in excess of the insurance proceeds recovered or recoverable as a result of such damage, and that in no event shall Landlord be required to replace Tenant’s stock in trade, fixtures, furniture, furnishings, floor coverings and equipment. In the event of any such damage and:

(i)

Landlord is not required to repair as hereinabove provided; or

(ii)

the Premises shall be damaged to the extent of Fifty Percent (50%) or more of the cost of replacement;

(iii)

either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease upon giving notice of such election to the other party within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the event causing the damage.

If the casualty, repairing, or rebuilding shall render the Premises untenable, in whole or in part, a proportionate abatement of the Fixed Minimum Rent shall be allowed from the date when the damage occurred until the date Landlord completes the repairing or rebuilding, said proportion to be computed on the basis of the relation which the gross square foot area of the space rendered untenable bears to the floor area of the Premises If Landlord is required or elects to repair the Premises as herein provided, Tenant shall repair or replace its stock in trade, fixtures, furniture, furnishings, floor coverings and equipment, and if Tenant has closed for business, Tenant shall promptly reopen for business upon the completion of such repairs.

In the event the Premises shall be damaged in whole or in substantial part within the last twelve (12) months of the Term of this Lease, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the option, exercisable within thirty (30) days following such damage, of terminating this Lease, effective as of the date of receipt.

by the non-terminating party of written notice from the terminating party; provided, however, that if Landlord elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 10.1(c), Tenant may void such termination by exercising any then available option to renew this Lease by giving Landlord written notice thereof within thirty (30) days of Tenant's receipt of Landlord's termination notice, whereupon such termination notice shall be void and Landlord will promptly and diligently repair the damage and restore and rebuild the Premises with reasonable dispatch to substantially the same condition as immediately prior to such casualty.

Section 10.2 Condemnation

Total: In the event the entire Premises shall be appropriated or taken under the power of eminent domain by any public or quasi-public authority (the “Condemning Authority”), this Lease shall terminate and expire as of the date of title vesting in the Condemning Authority, and Landlord and Tenant shall thereupon be released from any further liability, hereunder.

Partial: If any part of the Premises shall be taken as aforesaid and such partial taking shall render that portion not so taken unsuitable for the business of Tenant, as reasonably determined by Landlord and Tenant, then this Lease and the Term herein shall cease and terminate as aforesaid. If such partial taking is not extensive enough to render the Premises unsuitable for the business of Tenant, then this Lease shall continue in effect, except that the Fixed Minimum Rent shall be reduced in the same proportion that the floor area of the Premises taken bears to the original floor area leased and Landlord shall, upon receipt of the award in condemnation, make all necessary repairs or alterations to the building in which the Premises are located so as to constitute the portion of the building not taken a complete architectural unit, but such work shall not exceed the scope of the work to be done by Landlord in originally constructing said building, nor shall Landlord, in any event, be required to spend for such work an amount in excess of the amount received by Landlord as damages for the part of the Premises so taken. “Amount received by Landlord” shall mean that part of the award in condemnation which is free and clear to Landlord of any collection by mortgagee for the value of the diminished fee.

-14-

Termination: If more than twenty percent (20%) of the floor area of the building in which the Premises are located shall be taken as aforesaid, either Landlord or Tenant may, by written notice to the other party, terminate this Lease, such termination to be effective as aforesaid.

Rent on Termination: If this Lease is terminated as provided in this Section, the Rent shall be paid, up to the date, that possession is so taken by the Condemning Authority and Landlord shall make an equitable refund of any rent paid by Tenant in advance.

Award: Tenant shall not be entitled to and expressly waives all claim to any condemnation award for any taking, whether whole or partial, and whether for diminution in value of the leasehold or to the fee although Tenant shall have the right, to the extent that the same shall not reduce Landlord’s award, to claim from the Condemning Authority, but not from Landlord, such compensation as may be recoverable by Tenant in its own right for damage to Tenant’s business, fixtures and improvements installed by Tenant at its expense.

ARTICLE XI

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

Section 11.1 Default

The following events shall be deemed to be Events of Default under this Lease:

Tenant shall fail to pay when due any sum of money becoming due to be paid to Landlord under this Lease, whether such sum be an installment of Rent under this Lease, any other amount treated as Additional Rent under this Lease, or any other payment or reimbursement to Landlord required by this Lease, whether or not treated as additional rent under this Lease, and such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after the date such payment is due.;

Section 11.2 Remedies

Upon the occurrence of any of the Events of Default described or referred to in Section 11.1, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies without any notice or demand whatsoever, concurrently or consecutively and not alternatively:

-15-

Landlord may, at its election, terminate this Lease or terminate Tenant’s right to possession only, without terminating the Lease.

Upon any termination of this Lease, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, or upon any termination of Tenant’s right to possession without termination of the Lease, Tenant shall surrender possession and vacate the Premises immediately, and deliver possession thereof to Landlord, and Tenant hereby grants to Landlord full and free license to enter into and upon the Premises in such event and to repossess Landlord of the Premises as of Landlord’s former estate and to expel or remove Tenant and any others who may be occupying or be within the Premises and to remove Tenant’s signs and other evidence of tenancy and all other property of Tenant therefrom without being deemed in any manner guilty of trespass, eviction or forcible entry or detainer, and without incurring any liability for any damage resulting therefrom, Tenant waiving any right to claim damages for such re-entry and expulsion, and without relinquishing Landlord’s right to Rent or any other right given to Landlord under this Lease or by operation of law.

Upon any termination of this Lease, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, or upon any termination of Tenant’s right to possession without termination of the Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to recover as damages, all Rent, including any amounts treated as Additional Rent under this Lease, and any other sums due and payable by Tenant on the date of termination, plus as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the sum of:

(i)

an amount equal to the then present value of the Rent reserved in this Lease for the residue of the stated Term of this Lease including any amounts treated as additional rent under this Lease and all other sums provided in this Lease to be paid by Tenant, minus the fair rental value of the Premises for such residue;

(ii)

the value of the time and expense necessary to obtain a replacement tenant or tenants, and the estimated expenses relating to recovery of the Premises, preparation for reletting and for reletting itself, and

(iii)

the cost of performing any other covenants, which would have otherwise been performed by Tenant.

Upon any termination of Tenant’s right to possession only without termination of the Lease:

(i)

Neither such termination of Tenant’s right to possession nor Landlord’s taking and holding possession thereof as provided in Section 11.2(b), nor the issuance of a Writ of Possession or the lawful execution thereof, shall terminate the Lease or release Tenant, in whole or in part, from any obligation, including Tenant’s obligation to pay the Rent, under this Lease for the full Term.

(ii)

Landlord may, but need not, relet the Premises or any part thereof for such rent and upon such terms as Landlord, in its sole discretion, shall determine (including the right to relet the Premises for a greater or lesser term than that remaining under this Lease, the right to relet the Premises as a part of a larger area, and the right to change the character or use made of the Premises). In connection with or in preparation for any reletting, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, make repairs, alterations and additions in or to the Premises and redecorate the same to the extent Landlord deems necessary or desirable, and Tenant shall, upon demand, pay the cost thereof, together with Landlord’s expenses of reletting, including, without limitation, any commission incurred by Landlord. If Landlord decides to relet the Premises or a duty to relet is imposed upon Landlord by law, Landlord and Tenant agree that nevertheless Landlord shall at most be required to use only the same efforts Landlord then uses to lease premises generally and that in any case Landlord shall not be required to give any preference or priority to the showing or leasing of the Premises over any other space that Landlord may be leasing or have available and may place a suitable prospective tenant in any such other space regardless of when such other space becomes available. Landlord shall not be required to observe any instruction given by Tenant about any reletting or accept any tenant offered by Tenant unless such offered tenant has a credit-worthiness acceptable to Landlord and leases the entire Premises upon terms and conditions including a rate of rent (after giving effect to all expenditures by Landlord for tenant improvements, broker’s commissions and other leasing costs) all no less favorable to Landlord than as called for in this Lease, nor shall Landlord be required to make or permit any assignment, or sublease for more than the current term or which Landlord would not be required to permit under the provisions of Section 13.2.

(iii)

Until such time as Landlord shall elect to terminate the Lease and shall thereupon be entitled to recover the amounts specified in such case in Section 11.2 (c), Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand the full amount of all rent, including any amounts treated as additional rent under this Lease and other sums reserved in this Lease for the remaining Term, together with the costs of repairs, alterations, additions, redecorating and Landlord’s expenses of reletting and the collection of the rent accruing therefrom (including attorneys’ fees and broker’s commissions), as the same shall then be due or become due from time to time, less only such consideration as Landlord may have received from any reletting of the Premises; and Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suits from time to time to recover any sums falling due under this Lease as they become due. Any proceeds of reletting by Landlord in excess of the amount then owed by Tenant to Landlord from time to time shall be credited against Tenant’s future obligations under this Lease but shall not otherwise be refunded to Tenant or inure to Tenant’s benefit.

-16-

Consistent with Section 6.2 hereof, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, enter into and upon the Premises if Landlord determines in its sole discretion that Tenant is not acting within a commercially reasonable time to maintain, repair or replace anything for which Tenant is responsible under this Lease and correct the same, without being deemed in any manner guilty of trespass, eviction or forcible entry and detainer and without incurring any liability for any damage or interruption of Tenant’s business resulting therefrom and bill Tenant the cost thereof as provided in Section 6.2. If Tenant shall have vacated the Premises, Landlord may at Landlord’s option re-enter the Premises at any time during the last six months of the then current Term of this Lease and make any and all such changes, alterations, revisions, additions and tenant and other improvements in or about the Premises as Landlord shall elect, all without any abatement of any of the rent otherwise to be paid by Tenant under this Lease.

Tenant expressly waives any right to: (a) trial by jury; and (b) service of any notice required by any present or future law or ordinance applicable to landlords or tenants but not required by the terms of this Lease.

Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any of the other remedies provided in this Lease or any other remedies provided by law (all such remedies being cumulative), nor shall pursuit of any remedy provided in this Lease constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any rent due to Landlord under this Lease or of any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the terms, provisions and covenants contained in this Lease. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease (including any provision which may provide a reduction in liability to Tenant for rent collected by Landlord in reletting the Premises) or in law, Landlord, in the event of an Event of Default, shall have no duty to mitigate damages and the same is hereby expressly waived by Tenant and disclaimed by Landlord.

No act or thing done by Landlord or its agents during the 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 said 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 contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants contained in this Lease. Landlord’s acceptance of the payment of rental or other payments 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 in enforcing one or more of the remedies provided in this Lease 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.

Any and all property which may be removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the authority of this Lease or of law, to which Tenant is or may be entitled, may be handled, removed, disposed of and/or stored, as the case may be, by or at the direction of Landlord but at the risk, cost and expense of Tenant, and Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof. Any such property of Tenant shall, at Landlord’s option, be deemed conveyed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease as by a bill of sale without further payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant.

ADDITIONAL TENANT AGREEMENTS

Section 13.1 Mortgage Financing, Subordination and Attornment

Provided that Tenant is provided with a reasonable and customary nondisturbance and attornment agreement duly executed by the holder of any mortgage, deed to secure debt, or deed of trust, this Lease and all of Tenant’s rights hereunder are and shall be subordinate to any mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt (“Mortgage”) upon the Premises, whether such Mortgage is in existence as of the date hereof or created hereafter, as well as to any existing ground lease. Subject to the foregoing, the subordination provided for in this section is self-operative; however, Tenant shall, upon request of either Landlord, the holder of any Mortgage now or hereafter placed upon the Landlord’s interest in the Premises or future additions thereto, or the lessor under any ground lease now or hereafter affecting the Premises, execute and deliver upon demand, such further instruments subordinating this Lease to the lien of any such Mortgage or ground lease, provided such subordination shall be upon the express condition that this Lease shall be recognized by the mortgagees and ground lessors and that the rights of Tenant shall remain in full force and effect during the term of this Lease and any extension thereof, notwithstanding any default by the mortgagors with respect to the mortgages or any foreclosure thereof, or any default by the ground lessee, so long as Tenant shall perform all of the covenants and conditions of this Lease. Tenant agrees to execute within ten (10) days of Landlord’s written request all agreements required by Landlord’s mortgagee or ground lessor or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale or sale in lieu of foreclosure by which agreements Tenant will attorn to the mortgagee or purchaser or ground lessor without requiring Landlord to make alterations or improvements to the Premises or modifications to the Lease.

-17-

Section 13.2 Assignment or Subletting

All assignments of this Lease or sublease or subleases of the Premises by Tenant shall be subject to and in accordance with all of the provisions of this Section.

Tenant may not assign this Lease or sublease the Premises, in whole or in part, without first having obtained the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Any assignment or sublease by Tenant shall be only for the purpose specified in Section 1.1, Item 4 of the Lease, and for no other purpose, without the prior written consent of Landlord, and in no event shall any assignment or sublease of the Premises release or relieve Tenant from any obligations of this Lease.

It shall be a condition to any consent by Landlord to an assignment or sublease that Tenant shall pay to Landlord a processing fee in the amount of One Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000.00) as reimbursement to Landlord for its review and preparation of assignment or sublease-related documents, which may be incurred by Landlord in connection therewith. Payment of such fee shall be submitted along with Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent. Any consent by Landlord to any assignment or sublease, or to the operation of a concessionaire or licensee, shall not constitute a waiver or the necessity for such consent to any subsequent assignment or sublease, or operation by a concessionaire or licensee.

In the event Tenant shall sublease any portion of the Premises for rentals in excess of the Rent payable hereunder on a per square foot basis higher than Tenant is paying hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent hereunder, fifty percent (50%) of such excess rentals.

Any proposed assignee or subtenant of Tenant shall assume Tenant’s obligations hereunder and deliver to Landlord an assumption agreement in form satisfactory to Landlord no less than ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the proposed assignment.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions, if Tenant is in default under any of the terms of this Lease beyond any notice and cure period, Tenant may not assign or sublet the Premises in whole or in part.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.2 or anything to the contrary in this Lease, it is agreed that Tenant shall have the right, without the prior consent of Landlord, to assign this Lease or sublet any part of or all of the Leased Premises to an Affiliate (as defined below) (a "Permitted Assignment"), provided that Tenant notifies Landlord within ten (10) days following any Permitted Assignment. Any assignee under a Permitted Assignment shall be entitled to all of Tenant’s right, title and interest under this Lease, including, but not limited to, all rights to exercise any options to renew or extend the term of this Lease as provided herein. An “Affiliate” shall mean (i) a wholly owned subsidiary of Tenant, (ii) the parent of Tenant, or (iii) any corporation into or with which Tenant may be merged or consolidated.

Section 13.3 Tenant’s Notice to Landlord of Default

Should Landlord be in default under any of the terms of this Lease, Tenant shall give Landlord prompt written notice thereof in the manner specified in Section 14.1, Notices, and Tenant shall allow Landlord a reasonable length of time in which to cure such default, which time shall not in any event be less than thirty (30) days from the date of such notice, provided, however, that if such failure cannot, by its nature, be cured within such thirty (30) day period, but Landlord commences and diligently pursues a cure of such failure promptly within the initial thirty (30) day cure period, then Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease. In the event Landlord is in breach of this Lease beyond the applicable notice and cure period, (and in addition to any other remedies provided elsewhere in this Lease), Tenant shall be entitled to exercise and pursue all rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

Section 13.4 No Recording of Lease

Tenant agrees not to record this Lease without the express written consent of Landlord.

Section 13.5 Surrender of Premises and Holding Over

Tenant shall remove all its trade fixtures and any alterations or improvements, subject to the provisions of Section 8.5, before surrendering the Premises, and shall repair, at its own expense, any damage to the Premises caused thereby. Any of Tenant’s property not so removed shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant and may be retained or disposed of by Landlord as Landlord shall desire, without any liability to Tenant and Tenant hereby expressly waives and releases all claims against Landlord and its agents therefor. Tenant’s obligations to observe or perform this covenant shall survive the expiration or other termination of the term of this Lease. In the event Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration of the tenancy created hereunder, whether or not with the consent or acquiescence of Landlord, and without the execution of a new lease, Tenant, at the option of Landlord, shall be deemed to be occupying the Premises as a tenant at will on a month-to-month tenancy. The rent during this month-to-month tenancy shall be payable monthly at one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Fixed Minimum Rent and it shall be subject to all the other terms, conditions, covenants, provisions and obligations of this Lease, and no extension or renewal of this Lease shall be deemed to have occurred by such holding over. Tenant’s obligations to observe or perform its obligations set forth herein, shall survive the expiration or other termination of the term of this Lease.

Section 13.6 Estoppel Certificate

Tenant agrees to provide at any time, within ten (10) business days of Landlord’s written request, a statement certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect or, if there have been modifications, that the Lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications, the dates to which the Fixed Minimum Rent and other charges have been paid in advance, if any, and such other information reasonably requested by Landlord, a prospective purchaser or mortgagee without requiring Landlord to make alterations or improvements to the Premises or modifications to the Lease.

Section 13.7 Compliance With Law, Waste

Tenant shall not commit, or suffer to be committed, any waste upon the Premises or any nuisance, other act, or thing. Tenant agrees that it shall be responsible for complying in all respects with the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, as such Act may be amended from time to time, and all regulations promulgated therein (collectively, the “ADA”), as it affects the Premises, including but not limited to, making, to the extent required by the ADA, “readily achievable” changes to remove any architectural or communications barriers, and providing auxiliary aides and services within the Premises. Tenant further agrees that any and all alterations made to the Premises during the Term will comply with the requirements of the ADA. Tenant agrees that it will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and Landlord’s trustees, policy holders, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, suits, proceedings, liabilities, damages (including consequential and punitive damages), losses, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, caused by, incurred, or resulting from Tenant’s failure to comply with the obligations under this Section.

Section 14.15 Signage

Landlord may erect and maintain such suitable signs as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may deem appropriate to advertise the Premises. Tenant may erect and maintain, at its sole cost and expense, signs upon the exterior of the Premises and beneath the canopy, which shall be of such size and type and in such locations as Landlord may approve.

[**] NOTE: Subject to the terms of Special Stipulation No. 4 below.

[***] NOTE: This sum reflects a $2,000 credit related to Tenant’s

Commencing on the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant hereby agrees to pay Landlord, on or before the first of each month, Two Thousand Nine Hundred Eighty-Two and 00/100 Dollars ($2,982.09) as Tenant’s estimated share of Landlord's Operating Costs, Taxes and Insurance for the Premises. Said amount may be adjusted, as Landlord deems necessary, which shall be based on actual expenses incurred by Landlord.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Lease, provided Tenant is not in default hereunder beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, the Rent and Additional Rent for the Abatement Months (as defined below) shall be conditionally excused and Tenant shall not be obligated to make payments of Rent and Additional Rent for the Abatement Months (the “Conditionally Excused Rent”). The "Abatement Months" shall refer to the first Five (5) calendar months of the Term beginning on the Lease Commencement Date and the last Four (4) months of the term beginning on month 102. If an uncured Event of Default occurs at any time during the Lease Term, then (i) if applicable, the Abatement Month shall immediately cease and Tenant shall have no further right to the Conditionally Excused Rent and (ii) the full value of the abated Fixed Minimum Rent shall be immediately due and payable to Landlord. If no such uncured Event of Default occurs during the Lease Term, then the Conditionally Excused Rent will be deemed irrevocably waived by Landlord.

Provided the Lease is in full force and effect, and provided there has been no Event of Default (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods) during the Term of the Lease, Tenant shall have the option to extend the Term of the Lease (each an "Option") for two (2) additional periods of five (5) years each (each an “Extension Term”). Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of Tenant’s desire to exercise each Option at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the then existing Term of the Lease (the “Extension Notice Deadline”). If Landlord does not actually receive such written extension notice on or before 5:00 p.m., Atlanta, Georgia time on the Extension Notice Deadline, then Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its rights to exercise an Option (such Option becoming null and void no further force or effect) under this Special Stipulation number 5, and Landlord shall be automatically released from any and all obligations, and the then current Term shall expire as scheduled. If Landlord does actually receive such written extension notice on or before 5:00 p.m., Atlanta, Georgia time on or before the Extension Notice Deadline, then, subject to the foregoing, the Term shall be extended for the Extension Term on the following terms and conditions:

-28-

(i)

The Extension Term shall be on the same terms, covenants and conditions as this Lease, except that the Fixed Minimum Rent payable during the applicable Extension Term shall be an amount equal to the fair market Fixed Minimum Rent for the Premises as of the commencement of such Extension Term. Landlord and Tenant shall determine and agree upon the fair market rate of Fixed Minimum Rent no later than the expiration of Lease term. If Landlord and Tenant do not agree upon the fair market rate of Fixed Minimum Rent by the end of the then current Lease Term, the Fixed Minimum rental rate for the applicable Extension Term shall be determined by appraisal pursuant to subparagraph (ii), below.

(ii)

If Landlord and Tenant do not timely agree upon the aforesaid terms by the expiration of the Lease term, then within seven (7) days after said date, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually appoint an appraiser that has at least ten (10) years full-time commercial appraisal experience and is a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon an appraiser, either Landlord or Tenant, after giving five (5) days’ prior written notice to the other party, may apply to the then president of the Atlanta Board of Realtors for the selection of an appraiser who meets the foregoing qualifications, which selection shall be made within fifteen (15) days after such application. The appraiser selected by the president of the Board of Realtors shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for either party, its affiliates or leasing agents and who meets the above experience qualifications. Landlord and Tenant shall each, within seven (7) days after the appointment (either by agreement or selection) of the appraiser, submit to the appraiser such party’s determination of such fair market Fixed Minimum Rent. Within twenty (20) days after the expiration of such seven-day period, the appraiser shall select one of the two submittals as the more reasonable, and the submittal so selected, shall be the Fixed Minimum Rent for the Extension Term. If, upon the expiration of such seven (7) day period, the appraiser shall have received one of the party’s submittal of its proposed fair market Fixed Minimum Rent, but not both, then the appraiser shall select the proposal of the fair market Fixed Minimum Rent so submitted.

Tenant shall have the right to use, on a non-exclusive basis, the parking spaces on the Premises as delineated on Exhibit “B-1” for use of parking vehicles.

Tenant may install a panel on the pylon or monument sign, at Tenant’s own expense, as shown on Exhibit “B-5” subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval, local code and governmental approval. Landlord’s approval of signage does not necessarily guarantee approval by local municipalities. The Landlord is responsible for removing current signage on the exterior of the building. Tenant may also have signage on front of the Premises facing Barrett Parkway and may also elect to have signage on the designated area on the side of the building facing I-575. Tenant shall also have the right to place signage on the front door to the Premises. All signage shall be installed by Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

Landlord acknowledges that Tenant will have biomedical waste on the Premises and that Landlord shall permit such activity.

Landlord represents that, to the best of its knowledge without inquiry, the Premises are free from hazardous substances and that there has never been environmental pollution to the Premises. Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, penalties and fines which Tenant may suffer as a result of environmental pollution caused prior or subsequent to the occupancy of the Premises by Tenant as a result of damage or injury from hazardous substances placed in or about the Premises by any party other than Tenant or a Tenant party.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Tenant shall be solely responsible for complying with all federal, state and local laws, whether now existing or established in the future, relating in any way to the storage, containment, treatment, transfer, transportation and disposal of biomedical waste (including the use of licensed medical waste management companies) and shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless for Tenant’s noncompliance or violations thereof. No such biomedical waste shall be held or deposited in containers outside of the Premises. For purposes hereof, “biomedical waste” shall mean any solid, semisolid or liquid waste which is collected from any part of the body of human beings (this is in addition to Tenant’s obligations under Section 14.9 of the Lease).

-29-

Except as provided for in the Lease (including Exhibit "B-4"), Tenant shall be responsible for all improvements to the Premises to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s use and occupancy under this Lease (hereinafter referred to as “Tenant Improvements”). Tenant shall make all improvements with materials and workmanship of a quality and character at least equal to that at the Premises. All such work shall be done by Tenant or licensed contractors in accordance with applicable building, fire, health, sanitary and other codes, regulations and local ordinances in a good, workmanlike manner. Landlord shall promptly sign and execute such documents or otherwise evidence its approval, consent or grant of authority, as required by any public authorities having jurisdiction thereover, to facilitate issuance to Tenant of necessary licenses or permits to make or perform the improvements at no cost to Landlord. Tenant shall furnish Landlord a copy of the plans and specifications for all such improvements.

Landlord shall have the right to review and approve the interior drawings at the end of design development, whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord and Tenant shall mutually and reasonably agree upon a schedule of delivery and review of the architectural and engineering plans to allow for the timely commencement of the construction.

Upon expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, ownership of the Tenant Improvements shall transfer to Landlord and they shall not be removed from the Premises except to the extent otherwise provided for in the Lease.

10.

Tenant shall have control of the Premises HVAC on a 24/7 basis. Landlord shall warrant HVAC, electrical (to the exterior walls of the Premises not within the Premises), and plumbing (to the exterior walls of the Premises not within the Premises) for twelve (12) months from lease commencement unless necessary repair or replacements by the acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant. Tenant shall have the right to locate its backup electrical generator and cooling equipment condensers anywhere within the red line shown on Exhibit “B-1” attached hereto.

11.

The Adjacent Space as identified in Exhibit, “B-2” for 2,707 square feet is currently occupied by First Multiple Service Listing Service, Inc. (the Current Tenant). In the event the Landlord is unsuccessful in terminating the lease with the Current Tenant on or before the Lease Commencement Date, this Lease shall be amended to reflect the reduced square footage of the Premises until such time as the Landlord obtains possession of the Adjacent Space and delivers to the Tenant such Adjacent Space in the condition required by this Lease.

12.

Subject to the provisions of that certain Sign Easement Agreement dated September 11, 2014, by and between Home Center Properties, LLC, as “Grantor” and Chastain Meadows 2014, LLC as “Grantee” as amended by that certain First Amendment to Sign Easement dated April 17, 2015 (“Sign Easement”).

Landlord will deliver to the Tenant in good working order all existing heating, venting and air conditioning systems, plumbing systems (toilets, sinks), and electrical systems (panels, outlets, switches, and lighting) in place on the Premises (hereinafter the “Systems”) as of the Effective Date of this Lease. Upon taking the possession of the Premises by the Tenant, the Tenant shall have thirty (30) days within which to inspect, or cause said Systems to be inspected, to determine if any of the Systems are not in good working order. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has a duty and an obligation to make such an inspection or cause such an inspection to be made and notify the Landlord within the time provided for herein of any non-compliance. If the Landlord shall not receive any such notice within the aforementioned thirty (30) day period, it shall be conclusive that the Tenant has accepted the Systems “as-is” “where-is” on the date of taking possession of the Premises and Landlord shall have no further obligation with regard to said Systems except as provided for in the Lease. Should the Tenant notify the Landlord of any system which is not in good working order, then the Landlord, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, shall cause the system to be operating in good working order.

12. Landlord will reseal and restripe the parking lot.

Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, the Lease Commencement Date will be the date upon which Landlord's Work has been substantially completed by Landlord in accordance with the provisions of the Lease (the “Substantial Completion Date”). The Substantial Completion Date is defined to be the date when (i) Landlord's Work is complete in accordance with the Lease and this Exhibit "B-4", other than those punch-list items of work and adjustment of equipment and fixtures in the Premises, the incompleteness of which do not cause material and unreasonable interference with Tenant's use of or access to the Premises for the operation of Tenant’s business in the entire Premises, (ii) the Premises are broom clean; (iii) Landlord has obtained a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy (and if temporary then a permanent certificate of occupancy within thirty (30) days of the Substantial Completion Date and Tenant has delivered to Landlord the Lease Commencement Date Letter Exhibit D attached hereto) for Tenant's use of the Premises, and (iv) the Premises have been delivered to Tenant pursuant to notice from Landlord. In the event that the Substantial Completion Date has not occurred within one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date Landlord commences Landlord’s Work, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving Landlord written notice of such termination within ten (10) days following such date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Force Majeure Delay shall not include any of the foregoing delays to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its contractors or agents. As used in this Exhibit "B-4", "Tenant Delay" shall mean a delay resulting from the acts of Tenant including, but not limited to, interference or delay in approving plans, signing applications to authorities having jurisdiction, and the like, and failure to perform its work as stated above (e.g. Item 6) in a timely manner by Tenant, its agents or employees with the completion of Landlord's Work and which objectively preclude performance of Landlord’s Work by any person.

As soon as Landlord's Work has been substantially completed, Landlord will notify Tenant in writing. Within ten (10) days thereafter, Tenant will submit to Landlord in writing a punch list of items needing completion or correction. Landlord will use its reasonable diligence to complete such items within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice.
