Box 532551, Atlanta, Georgia 30353-2551; provided, however, that the first full monthly installment of Base Rent due under this Lease shall be paid in advance on the date of Tenants execution of this Lease and shall be applied to the first full monthly installment of Base Rent due hereunder.

Prior to January 1 of each year in the Term (or as soon thereafter as it is reasonably able to do so), Landlord shall provide Tenant with an estimate of Operating Expenses and Taxes for the next calendar year in the Term (each, an Operating Period). If Operating Expenses during any Operating Period, as estimated by Landlord, exceed Base Operating Expenses, Tenant shall pay to Landlord for such Operating Period an amount equal to the product of (a) the difference between Operating Expenses for such Operating Period and the Base Operating Expenses, multiplied by (b) the Pro-rata Share; and if Taxes during any Operating Period, as estimated by Landlord, exceed Base Taxes, Tenant shall pay to Landlord for such Operating Period an amount equal to the product of (i) the difference between Taxes for such Operating Period and the Base Taxes, multiplied by (ii) the Pro-rata Share (the sum of such amounts being collectively referred to herein as Additional Rent); such Additional Rent shall be paid in monthly installments of one twelfth (1/12) of the Additional Rent owed from Tenant for such Operating Period, with such installments being due at the same time and in the same manner as Tenants monthly payments of Base Rent.

(b) Additional Rent. Landlord shall, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Operating Period (or as soon thereafter as it is reasonably able to do so), furnish Tenant with a statement of the Operating Expenses and Taxes during such year and a computation of the Additional Rent owed by Tenant for such Operating Period (Expense Statement). Failure of Landlord to provide such statement within such time period shall not be a waiver of Landlords right to collect any Additional Rent. If such statement shows that the actual amount Tenant owes for such Operating Period is more than the estimated Additional Rent paid by Tenant for such Operating Period, Tenant shall pay the difference within thirty (30) days after Tenants receipt of the Expense Statement. If the Expense Statement shows that Tenant paid more in estimated Additional Rent than the actual amount of Additional Rent owed by Tenant for such Operating Period, Tenant shall receive a credit therefor. The credit shall be applied to future monthly payments attributable to the Additional Rent, or if this Lease has expired, such amount shall be refunded to Tenant at the time of delivery of the Expense Statement. Unless adjusted as a result of an audit by Tenant conducted pursuant to the express terms of this Lease, the Operating Expenses, Taxes and Additional Rent set forth in the Expense Statement shall be binding upon Tenant. Landlord will provide Tenant with an Expense Statement within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the final Operating Period contained in the Term, as provided above, and the Additional Rent shown in such Expense Statement shall be due from Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenants receipt of such statement.
(c) Tenants Audit. Tenant shall have the right to have Landlords books and records pertaining to Operating Expenses and Taxes for each Operating Period reviewed, copied (provided Landlord is reimbursed for the cost of such copies) and audited (Tenants Audit), provided that: (a) such right shall not be exercised more than once during any calendar year; (b) if Tenant elects to conduct Tenants Audit, Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice thereof (Tenants Audit Notice) no later than sixty (60) days following Tenants receipt of the Expense Statement for the year to which Tenants Audit will apply; (c) Tenant shall have no right to conduct Tenants Audit if an uncured Default by Tenant exists either at the time of Landlords receipt of Tenants Audit Notice or at any time during Tenants Audit; (d) no subtenant shall have any right to conduct an audit and no assignee shall conduct an audit for any period during which such assignee was not in possession of the Premises; (e) conducting Tenants Audit shall not relieve Tenant from the obligation to timely pay Base Rent or the Additional Rent, pending the outcome of such audit; (f) Tenants right to conduct such audit for any calendar year shall expire sixty (60) days following Tenants receipt of the Expense Statement for such year, and if Landlord has not received Tenants Audit Notice within such sixty (60) day period, Tenant shall have waived its right to conduct Tenants Audit for such calendar year; provided, however, that with respect to any audit of Operating Expenses and Taxes for the Base Year, Tenants right to conduct an audit for such year shall expire the earlier of sixty (60) days following Tenants receipt of the Expense Statement for the Base Year or sixty (60) days following Tenants receipt of the first Expense Statement forwarded by Landlord to Tenant for any Operating Period during the Term; (g) Tenants Audit shall be conducted by a firm of Tenants designation whose compensation is not contingent upon the results of Tenants Audit or the amount of any refund received by Tenant, and who is not employed by or otherwise affiliated with Tenant; (h) Tenants Audit shall be conducted at Landlords office where the records of the year in question are maintained by Landlord, during Landlords normal business hours; (i) Tenants Audit shall be completed within sixty (60) days after the date of Tenants Audit Notice, and a complete copy of the results thereof shall be delivered to Landlord within sixty (60) days after the date of Tenants Audit Notice; and (j) Tenants Audit shall be conducted at Tenants sole cost and expense. If Tenants Audit is completed and submitted to Landlord in accordance with the requirements of this Section and such audit demonstrates to Landlords reasonable satisfaction that Landlord has overstated the Operating Expenses or Taxes for the year audited, then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for any overpayment, and if such Operating Expenses or Taxes have been overstated by more than five percent (5%), then Landlord shall also reimburse Tenant for Tenants actual, reasonable cost incurred in conducting Tenants Audit (not to exceed $5,000.00), with such reimbursement(s) to be made within thirty (30) days after Landlords receipt of documentation reasonably acceptable to Landlord reflecting the amount of such overpayment and the cost of Tenants Audit.

(d) Confidentiality. Tenant hereby agrees to keep the results of Tenants Audit confidential and to require the auditor conducting Tenants Audit, including its employees and each of their respective attorneys and advisors, to keep the results of Tenants Audit in strictest confidence. In particular, but without limitation, Tenant agrees that: (a) Tenant shall not disclose the results of Tenants Audit to any past, current or prospective tenant of the Building; and (b) Tenant shall require that its auditors, attorneys and anyone associated with such parties shall not disclose the results of Tenants Audit to any past, current or prospective tenant of the Building; provided, however, that Landlord hereby agrees that nothing in items (a) or(b) of this subparagraph shall preclude Tenant from disclosing the results of Tenants Audit in any judicial or quasi-judicial proceeding, or pursuant to court order or discovery request, or to any current or prospective assignee or subtenant of Tenant, or to any agent, representative or employee of Landlord who or which request the same. If Tenant intends to disclose the results of Tenants Audit in any judicial or quasi-judicial proceeding, or if Tenant receives notice that it may be required in any such proceeding by either the order of any judicial, regulatory or other governmental entity presiding over such proceeding, or by a discovery request made in such proceeding, to disclose the results of Tenants Audit, then Tenant shall (i) provide Landlord with sufficient prior written notice of Tenants intent to make such disclosure, or such order or request for such disclosure, in order to permit Landlord to contest such intended disclosure, order or request; and (ii) cooperate with Landlord, at Tenants expense, in seeking a protective order or other remedy to limit the disclosure of such results to the extent reasonably required to adjudicate the matters at issue in such proceeding. If required by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and require Tenants auditor to execute Landlords then-current confidentiality agreement reflecting the terms of this Section as a condition precedent to Tenants right to conduct Tenants Audit.

Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a security interest in the Security Deposit as collateral for all Rent and other sums of money becoming due from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, and for the performance of Tenants obligations under this Lease, which security interest shall remain in effect until all such Rent and other sums of money have been paid in full and all such obligations have been fulfilled; the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that this Lease constitutes a security agreement under which such security interest is granted from Tenant to Landlord. In the event of an uncured Default, defined below, then Landlord may, without prejudice to Landlords other remedies, apply part or all of the Security Deposit to cure such Default. If Landlord so uses part or all of the Security Deposit, then Tenant shall within ten (10) days after written demand, provide Landlord with a replacement Security Deposit in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Any part of the Security Deposit not used by the Landlord as permitted by this Lease shall be returned to Tenant after the Expiration Date. If Landlord sells the Building then the Landlord shall transfer the Security Deposit to the new owner and Landlord shall be relieved of any liability for the Security Deposit. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit, and Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit with other monies of Landlord.

Subject to the terms of Section 7, the maintenance and repairs to be performed by Landlord hereunder shall be at Landlords expense, unless the need for such maintenance or repairs was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors or invitees, in which event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such maintenance or repairs, plus a construction oversight fee for Landlord in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the cost and expense of such maintenance or repairs; the construction oversight or management fee, if any, applicable to construction of the Initial Improvements shall be governed by the terms of the Work Letter and not by the provisions of this Section. Except to the extent that Landlord is obligated to restore and repair the Premises pursuant to Section 23, Tenant, at its sole cost, shall maintain and repair the Premises and otherwise keep the Premises in good order and repair. Any repair or maintenance by Tenant shall be undertaken in accordance with the provisions and requirements of Section 16. Landlord is not responsible for
6
replacing and/or repairing Tenants fixtures or any Above Standard improvements, or fixtures. Except as expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant shall accept the Premises including any existing appliances and Above Standard fixtures in their AS IS, WHERE IS condition as of the Effective Date.

Tenant may periodically request, and Landlord shall furnish HVAC service on days and at times other than those referred to above, provided Tenant requests such service in accordance with the Project Rules, defined below, then in effect, and agrees to reimburse Landlord for this service at the then existing rate being charged in the Building. If Tenant utilizes services provided by Landlord hereunder in either quantity and/or quality exceeding the quantity and/or quality customarily utilized by normal office uses of comparable premises in the Building, then Landlord may separately meter or otherwise monitor Tenants use of such services, and charge Tenant a reasonable amount for such excess usage; such amount shall constitute additional Rent due hereunder within fifteen (15) days of Tenants receipt of Landlords statement for such excess. Landlord shall not be liable for any damages directly or indirectly resulting from, nor shall any Rent be abated by reason of, the installation, use or interruption of use of any equipment in connection with furnishing any of the foregoing services, or failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any such service. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, except in the event of a casualty as provided for in Section 23 of this Lease, in the event of an interruption of any service set forth in this Section 11 that results directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees or agents, and continues for more than five (5) consecutive business days after Landlords receipt of written notice from Tenant of such interruption (the Initial Interruption Period), and which results in the Premises, or a portion thereof, becoming untenantable, Rent shall be abated in an equitable and just proportion relative to such interruption from the expiration of the Initial Interruption Period until restoration of such service. The failure to furnish any such services shall not be construed as an eviction of Tenant or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such interruption of any service set forth in this Section 11 that results directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees or agents, and continues for more than one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days after Landlords receipt of written notice from Tenant of such interruption, with such period subject to extension for Force Majeure Events and Tenant caused delays, then, provided Tenant is not in Default under this Lease, Tenant shall have the right terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Landlord (1) anytime during the ten (10) day period following the expiration of the aforementioned one hundred eighty (180) day period and (2) prior to Landlords restoration of the applicable interrupted service.

7
consumed in excess of six (6) watts per RSF in the Premises for the number of hours in the Building Standard Hours for the relevant period, plus any actual accounting expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the metering or calculation thereof. Tenant shall pay the cost of installing, maintaining, repairing and replacing all such meters. In the event that the level of occupancy of the Premises, or any machinery or equipment located in the Premises, creates unusual demands on the HVAC system serving the Premises, then Tenant may install, and Landlord may require that Tenant install, its own supplemental HVAC unit(s) (Supplemental HVAC Equipment) in the Premises, and in either event the installation, maintenance and removal of the Supplemental HVAC Equipment shall be governed by the terms of Exhibit F attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
(b) The term Electrical Expense Stop shall mean be $0.70 per RSF of the Premises. Electrical expenses exceeding the Electrical Expense Stop shall be paid by Tenant on the first day of each month as additional rent. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord, at Landlords sole discretion, may require, at Tenants sole cost and expense, the installation of an electrical check meter (a Check Meter) for the Premises, which expense may be deducted from the Allowance, if applicable. The Check Meter will measure all electricity supplied to the Premises (i) to operate lights and light fixtures therein, (ii) to operate equipment and fixtures that are connected to electrical outlets therein and (iii) to operate any supplemental HVAC system or unit that exclusively serves the Premises (or any portion thereof). Landlord shall pay the local electrical utility company prior to delinquency for the electricity supplied to the Premises through the Check Meter; provided, however, in the event the amount paid by Landlord to the local electrical utility company for electricity supplied to the Premises (as measured by the Check Meter) for any given period of time is greater than the allocable portion of the Electrical Expense Stop (allocated to the Premises for the relevant period of time), Landlord may submit an invoice to Tenant periodically for the cost of such excess electricity supplied to the Premises and Tenant shall pay the full invoiced amount (as Additional Rent) to Landlord within ten (10) days after Tenants receipt of each such invoice. The following formula shall be used to determine the invoice amount for Tenants excess electrical usage in the Premises:
Invoice Amount | = | Total Electrical Costs Per Check Meter - | ||
[(Premises Electrical Expense Stop) x (Number of Days in Period | ||||
÷ Number of Days in Year)] |
For example, presuming (for purposes of this illustration only) that the (i) rentable square footage of the Premises is ten thousand (10,000) rentable square feet, (ii) Electrical Expense Stop is seventy cents (70¢) per rentable square foot, (iii) Check Meter indicates $2,000.00 of electricity was supplied to the Premises during a given ninety (90) day period and (iv) calendar year in which such ninety (90) day period falls contains three hundred sixty-five (365) days, Landlord shall be entitled hereunder to send an invoice to Tenant in the amount of $273.80 for excess electrical usage in the Premises during such ninety (90) day period, computed as follows:
Invoice Amount | = | $2,000.00 - [($7,000.00) x (90 ÷ 365)] | ||
= | $2,000.00 - [$7,000.00 x .2466] | |||
= | $2,000.00 - $1,726.20 | |||
= | $273.80 |
In computing invoices to be sent to Tenant for electricity supplied to the Premises through the Check Meter, Landlord shall use the same billing rate and structure as used by the local electrical utility company.
13. Communication Lines. Subject to Building design limits and its existing, or then existing, capacity, Tenant may install, maintain, replace, remove or use communications or computer wires and cables which service the Premises (Lines), provided: (a) Tenant shall obtain Landlords prior written consent, and shall use contractors approved in writing by Landlord, which consent and approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, (b) all such Lines shall be plenum rated and neatly bundled, labeled and attached to beams and not to suspended ceiling grids, (c) any such installation, maintenance, replacement, removal or use shall comply with all Laws applicable thereto, including, but not limited to the National Electric Code, and shall not interfere with any then existing Lines at the Building, and (d) Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses in connection therewith. Landlord reserves the right to require Tenant to remove any Lines located in or serving the Premises which violate this Lease or represent a dangerous or potentially dangerous condition, within three (3) business days after written notice. Tenant shall remove all Lines installed by or on behalf of Tenant upon termination or expiration of this Lease. Any Lines that Landlord expressly permits to remain at the expiration or termination of this Lease shall become the property of Landlord without payment of any type. Under no circumstances shall any Line problems be deemed an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, render Landlord liable to Tenant for abatement of Rent, or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenants obligations under this Lease.
8
14. Prohibited Use. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done within the Project nor bring, keep or permit anything to be brought or kept therein, which is prohibited by any Laws now in force or hereafter enacted or promulgated, or which is prohibited by any insurance policy or which may increase the existing rate or otherwise affect any insurance which Landlord carries on the Project. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants, or injure or annoy them or use or allow the Premises to be used for any unlawful or objectionable purpose. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste to, in or about the Premises or Project.
15. Legal Requirements; Project Rules. Tenant shall comply with, and shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold Landlord and its directors, officers, partners, members, shareholders, employees and agents harmless from any and all obligations, claims, administrative proceedings, judgments, damages, fines, penalties, costs, and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys fees (collectively, Costs) incurred by Landlord as a result of the failure by Tenant, its employees, agents or contractors to comply with all Laws relating to the use, condition or occupancy of the Premises now or hereafter enacted, and the Project Rules, defined below. Tenant shall cause its employees, agents and contractors to comply with, and shall use reasonable efforts to cause its invitees to comply with, all Laws applicable to the Project. Tenant shall not cause or permit the use, generation, storage, release or disposal in or about the Premises or the Project of any substances, materials or wastes subject to regulation under any Laws from time to time including, without limitation, flammable, explosive, hazardous, petroleum, toxic or radioactive materials, unless Tenant shall have received Landlords prior written consent, which consent Landlord may withhold or revoke at any time in its sole discretion. Tenant shall comply with, and cause its employees, agents and contractors to comply with, and shall use its reasonable efforts to cause its invitees to comply with, the rules and regulations of the Project adopted by Landlord from time to time for the safety, care and cleanliness of the Premises and the Project (Project Rules). In the event of any conflict between this Lease and the Project Rules, the provisions of this Lease shall control. Landlord shall not have any liability to Tenant for any failure of any other tenants to comply with the Project Rules. The Project Rules in effect as of the Effective Date are attached hereto as Exhibit C. In the event that any Governmental Authority, ordinance or other Law applicable to the Project requires either Landlord or Tenant to establish and implement a transportation management plan designed to reduce the number of single-occupancy vehicles being used by employees and other permitted occupants of the Building for commuting to and from the Building, then Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in establishing and implementing such plan. In the event that any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Project requires that modifications be made to the Common Areas as a result of Tenants particular use or occupancy of the Premises, then such modifications shall be made by Landlord, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as additional Rent due under this Lease, for Landlords reasonable cost incurred in making such modifications, with such reimbursement to be made within thirty (30) days after Tenants receipt of Landlords statement for such cost.
16. Alterations, Additions and Improvements. After the Commencement Date, Tenant shall not permit, make or allow to be made any construction, alterations, physical additions or improvements in or to the Premises without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld (Tenant Work), nor place any signs in the Premises which are visible from outside the Premises, without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld in Landlords sole discretion. For purposes of clarification, Initial Improvements are not considered Tenant Work for purposes of this Section 16. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its consent to Tenant Work that: (i) is non-structural and does not adversely affect any Building Systems or improvements, (ii) is not visible from the exterior of the Premises, (iii) does not affect the exterior of the Building or any Common Areas, (iv) does not violate any provision of this Lease, (v) does not violate any Laws, and (vi) will not interfere with the use and occupancy of any other portion of the Project by any other tenant or occupant of the Project. Tenants plans and specifications and all contractors, subcontractors, vendors, architects and engineers (collectively, Outside Contractors) shall be subject to Landlords prior written approval. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall execute a work letter for any such Tenant Work substantially in the form then used by Landlord for construction performed by tenants of the Building. Tenant shall pay Landlord a construction oversight fee in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the cost and expense of any Tenant Work whether undertaken by Landlord or Tenant; the construction oversight or management fee, if any, applicable to construction of the Initial Improvements shall be governed by the terms of the Work Letter and not by the provisions of this Section. Landlord may hire outside consultants to review such documents and information furnished to Landlord, and Tenant shall
9
reimburse Landlord for the cost thereof, including reasonable attorneys fees, in an amount not to exceed $2,500.00, within thirty (30) days of demand. Neither review nor approval by Landlord of any plans or specifications shall constitute a representation or warranty by Landlord that such documents either (i) are complete or suitable for their intended purpose, or (ii) comply with applicable Laws, it being expressly agreed by Tenant that Landlord assumes no responsibility or liability whatsoever to Tenant or any other person or entity for such completeness, suitability or compliance. Tenant shall furnish any documents and information reasonably requested by Landlord, including as-built drawings (both in paper and in electronic format acceptable to Landlord) after completion of such Tenant Work. Landlord may impose such conditions on Tenant Work as are reasonably appropriate, including without limitation, compliance with any construction rules adopted by Landlord from time to time, requiring Tenant to furnish Landlord with security for the payment of all costs to be incurred in connection with such Tenant Work, insurance covering Landlord against liabilities which may arise out of such work, plans and specifications, and permits for such Tenant Work. All Building Standard Tenant Work shall become the property of Landlord upon completion and shall be surrendered to Landlord upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or Tenants right to possession of the Premises under this Lease, unless Landlord shall require removal or restoration of such Tenant Work by Tenant. All Tenant Work that is Above Standard shall be and remain the property of Tenant, and shall be maintained by Tenant in good condition and repair throughout the Term, until the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or Tenants right to possession of the Premises under this Lease, at which time such Tenant Work shall become the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered to Landlord with the Premises, unless Landlord specifies, at the time of the approval of the installation of such Above Standard Tenant Work, that Landlord will require Tenant to remove same upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease or Tenants right to possession of the Premises under the Lease. Any Tenant Work that Tenant is required to remove from the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or Tenants right to possession of the Premises under this Lease shall be removed at Tenants sole expense, and Tenant shall, at Tenants expense, promptly repair any damage to the Premises or the Building caused by such removal. Tenant shall not allow any liens to be filed against the Premises or the Project in connection with any Tenant Work. If any liens are filed, Tenant shall cause the same to be released within five (5) days after Tenants receipt of written notice of the filing of such lien by bonding or other method acceptable to Landlord. All Outside Contractors shall maintain insurance in amounts and types required by, and in compliance with, Section 20. An ACORD 25 (or its equivalent) certificates of insurance in the most recent edition available evidencing such coverage shall be provided to Landlord prior to commencement of any Tenant Work. All Outside Contractors shall perform all work in a good and workmanlike manner, in compliance with all Laws and all applicable Project Rules and Building construction rules. No Tenant Work shall be unreasonably disruptive to other tenants. Prior to final completion of any Tenant Work, Landlord shall prepare and submit to Tenant a punch list of items to be completed, and Tenant shall diligently complete all such punch list items.
17. Tenants Equipment. Except for personal computers, facsimile machines, copiers and other similar office equipment, Tenant shall not install within the Premises any fixtures, equipment or other improvements until the plans and location thereof have been approved by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The location, weight and supporting devices for any libraries, central filing areas, safes and other heavy equipment shall in all cases be approved by Landlord prior to initial installation or any relocation. Landlord may prohibit any article, equipment or any other item that may exceed the load capacity of the Building from being brought into the Building.
18. Taxes on Tenants Property. Tenant shall pay all ad valorem and similar taxes or assessments levied upon all equipment, fixtures, furniture and other property placed by Tenant in the Premises and all license and other fees or taxes imposed on Tenants business. If any improvements installed or placed in the Project by, or at the expense of, Tenant result in Landlord being required to pay higher Taxes with respect to the Project than would have been payable otherwise, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within fifteen (15) days after demand, the amount by which such excess Taxes are reasonably attributable to Tenant.
19. Access. Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times in order to inspect the condition, show the Premises, determine if Tenant is performing its obligations hereunder, perform the services or make the repairs that Landlord is obligated or elects to perform hereunder, make repairs to adjoining space, cure any Defaults of Tenant hereunder that Landlord elects to cure, and remove from the Premises any improvements or property placed therein in violation of this Lease. Except in the case of an emergency or to perform routine services hereunder, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to provide Tenant prior notice of such access.
10
20. Tenants Insurance. Commencing the date Tenant is required to provide Landlord with the certificate of insurance, as provided below, and continuing until the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, Tenant shall carry and maintain at its expense the following insurance coverages with insurance companies reasonably acceptable to Landlord with a rating of A- or better by A.M. Best Company: (i) Commercial General Liability (CGL) Policy (written on an occurrence basis), with limits not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit per occurrence, Two Million Dollar ($2,000,000) annual aggregate covering liability arising from premises, operations, independent contractors, products-completed operations, personal injury, advertising injury and liability assumed under a contract; (ii) Property Damage Insurance on a Causes of Loss-Special Form basis covering on a replacement cost value all Above Standard improvements, fixtures, personal property and equipment located within the Premises; (iii) Business Interruption and Extra Expense insurance in such amounts as will reimburse Tenant for direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to the perils insured against under this section; (iv) Workers Compensation insurance policy as required by the applicable state law, and Employers Liability insurance with limits of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00); (v) Automobile Liability insurance with single limit coverage of at least $1,000,000 for all owned, leased/hired or non-owned vehicles; (vi) If Tenant will serve or sell alcohol at the Project, a liquor liability insurance policy with minimum coverage of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00); and (vii) Excess/Umbrella liability policy following form of not less than Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000), including a drop down feature in case the limits of the primary policy are exhausted. Landlord may also require all Outside Contractors to provide additional types of insurance coverages in amounts and types deemed necessary by Landlord, including, without limitation, construction All-Risk Builders risks, Owners and Contractors Protective (OCP) Liability insurance, Professional Errors and Omissions liability insurance, and insurance covering such contractors equipment and tools. Each Liability insurance policy required to be maintained hereunder by Tenant shall name the following entities as Additional Insureds: Landlord, Parkway Properties, Inc., Parkway Realty Services, LLC, and their direct and indirect parent companies and subsidiaries and any of their affiliated entities, successors and assigns, as well as their respective current or future directors, officers, employees, partners, members and agents. Tenants insurance shall be considered primary, not excess, and non-contributory with Landlords insurance policies. Insurance deductibles or retentions should be reasonable and customary for policy holders in similar businesses and locations. An ACORD 25 certificate of such insurance in the most recent edition available and reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, before the earlier of the Commencement Date or ten (10) days after execution of the Lease, reflecting the limits and endorsements required herein, and renewal certificates shall be delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration date of any policy. Each policy shall be endorsed to provide notice of nonrenewal to Landlord and shall further provide that it may not be materially altered or canceled without thirty (30) days prior notice to Landlord. Landlord agrees to cooperate with Tenant to the extent reasonably requested by Tenant to enable Tenant to obtain such insurance. Landlord shall have the right to require increased limits if, in Landlords reasonable judgment, such increase is necessary. Tenant shall pay all premiums and charges for all of said policies, and, if Tenant shall fail to make any such payment when due or carry any such policy, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make such payment or carry such policy, and the amount paid by Landlord, with interest thereon at the Default Rate, shall be repaid to Landlord by Tenant within ten (10) days following demand therefor, and all such amounts so repayable, together with such interest, shall be deemed to constitute additional Rent hereunder. Payment by Landlord of any such premium, or the carrying by Landlord of any such policy, shall not be deemed to waive or release Tenant from any remedy available to Landlord under this Lease.
21. Landlords Insurance. Landlord shall maintain, during the Term of this Lease, (i) a commercial general liability insurance policy of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) each occurrence/Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) aggregate, and (ii) a property insurance policy on the Special Perils policy form, including theft coverage, written at full replacement cost value and with replacement cost endorsement, covering the Project, including the Building and all Building Standard improvements and fixtures in the Premises, but specifically excluding any Above Standard improvements or fixtures until such time as such Above Standard improvements or fixtures shall become the property of Landlord as provided above, and all personal property, fixtures and improvements therein belonging to Landlord, and (iii) an excess liability policy following form of not less than Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000), including a drop down feature in case the limits of the primary policy are exhausted. Landlord shall not be obligated to insure any property of Tenant.
22. Waiver of Subrogation; Mutual Waiver of Liability. All policies of insurance required to be carried by either party hereunder shall include a waiver of subrogation endorsement, containing a waiver by the insurer of all right of subrogation against the other party in connection with any loss, injury or damage thereby insured against. The waiver of subrogation shall apply regardless of any deductible (or self-insured retention) or self-insurance carried by either party. Any additional premium for such waiver shall be paid by the primary insured. To the full extent permitted
11
by law, Landlord and Tenant each waive all rights of recovery against the other (and any officers, directors, partners, employees, agents and representatives of the other), and agree to release the other from liability, for loss or damage to the extent such loss or damage is covered by valid and collectible insurance in effect covering the party seeking recovery at the time of such loss or damage or would be covered by the insurance required to be maintained under this Lease by the party seeking recovery. If the release of either party, as set forth above, should contravene any law with respect to exculpatory agreements, the liability of the party in question shall be deemed not released but shall be secondary to the liability of the others insurer.
23. Casualty. If the Premises or the Project is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty at any time during the Term and if, after such damage or destruction, Tenant is not able to use the portion of the Premises not damaged or destroyed to substantially the same extent and for the Authorized Use for which the Premises were leased to Tenant hereunder, and within sixty (60) days after Landlords receipt of written notice from Tenant describing such damage or destruction Landlord provides notice to Tenant that the Premises, as improved to the extent of the Building Standard improvements existing immediately prior to such destruction or casualty, cannot be repaired or rebuilt to the condition which existed immediately prior to such destruction or casualty within two hundred seventy (270) days following the date of such destruction or casualty, then either Landlord or Tenant may by written notice to the other within thirty (30) days following such notice by Landlord terminate this Lease. Unless such damage or destruction is the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors or invitees, the Rent shall be abated for the period and proportionately to the extent that after such damage or destruction Tenant is not able to use the portion of the Premises damaged or destroyed for the Authorized Use and to substantially the same extent as Tenant used the Premises prior thereto. If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to the foregoing, then upon receiving the available insurance proceeds, Landlord shall restore or replace the damaged or destroyed portions of the Premises, as improved to the extent of the Building Standard improvements existing immediately prior to such destruction or casualty, or Project; Tenant shall restore or replace the improvements to the Premises required to be insured by Tenant hereunder; and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms hereof except for the abatement of Rent referred to above, if applicable, and except that the Term shall be extended by a length of time equal to the period beginning on the date of such damage or destruction and ending upon completion of such restoration or replacement. Landlord shall restore or replace the damaged or destroyed portions of the Premises or Project that Landlord is required to restore or replace hereunder within a reasonable time, subject to Force Majeure Events and the availability of insurance proceeds. If either party elects to terminate this Lease as provided in this Section, this Lease shall terminate on the date which is thirty (30) days following the date of the notice of termination as if the Term hereof had been scheduled to expire on such date, and, except for obligations which are expressly stated herein to survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, neither party shall have any liability to the other party as a result of such termination. Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage to Above Standard improvements or fixtures, Tenants inventory, trade fixtures or other personal property. If the Premises are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty caused by the recklessness or willful misconduct of Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors, or invitees, then any repair or restoration of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Section shall be at Tenants sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, Landlord shall have no obligation to repair or restore the Premises or the Project on account of damage resulting from any casualty which occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, or if the estimated cost of such repair or restoration would exceed fifty percent (50%) of the reasonable value of the Building prior to the casualty. The abatement of Rent, if applicable hereunder, and termination of this Lease by Tenant, if applicable hereunder, are the sole remedies available to Tenant in the event the Premises or the Project is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty.
24. Condemnation. If more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises or if a substantial portion of the Building is taken by the power of eminent domain, then either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to the other within thirty (30) days after the date of taking; provided, however, that a condition to the exercise by Tenant of such right to terminate shall be that the portion of the Premises or Building taken shall be of such extent and nature as to substantially impair Tenants use of the Premises or the balance of the Premises remaining and Landlord is unwilling or unable to provide reasonable replacement space within the Project. In the event of any taking, Landlord shall be entitled to any and all compensation and awards with respect thereto, except for an award, if any, specified by the condemning authority for any claim made by Tenant for property that Tenant has the right to remove upon termination of this Lease. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired portion of the Term. In the event of a partial taking of the Premises which does not result in a termination of this Lease, the Rent shall be equitably reduced as to the square footage so taken.
12
25. Waiver of Claims. Except for the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Landlord, its employees, agents or contractors, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for damage to person or property caused by defects in the HVAC, electrical, plumbing, elevator or other apparatus or systems, or by water discharged from sprinkler systems, if any, in the Building, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for the theft or loss of or damage to any property of Tenant whether from the Premises or any part of the Building or Project, including the loss of trade secrets or other confidential information. Landlord agrees to make commercially reasonable efforts to protect Tenant from interference or disturbance by third persons, including other tenants; however, Landlord shall not be liable for any such interference, disturbance or breach, whether caused by another tenant or tenants or by Landlord or any other person, nor shall Tenant be relieved from any obligation under this Lease because of such interference, disturbance or breach. Landlord may comply with voluntary controls or guidelines promulgated by any governmental entity relating to the use or conservation of energy, water, gas, light or electricity or the reduction of automobile or other emissions without creating any liability of Landlord to Tenant under this Lease, provided that the Premises are not thereby rendered untenantable. In no event shall Landlord, Parkway Properties LP or Parkway Realty Services, LLC or their directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees, or agents be liable in any manner for incidental, consequential or punitive damages, loss of profits, or business interruption. The waivers in this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
26. Indemnity. Except for claims, rights of recovery and causes of action covered by the waiver of subrogation contained in Section 22 or waived in Section 25, Landlord shall indemnify and hold harmless Tenant and its agents, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees and invitees, from all claims, losses, costs, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) in connection with any injury to, including death of, any person or damage to any property arising, wholly or in part, out of any action, omission, or neglect of Landlord or its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, invitees, or guests, or any parties contracting with any such party, relating to the Premises, or arising, wholly or in part, out of any gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, or its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, or agents, or any parties contracting with any such party, relating to the Project exclusive of the Premises. If Tenant shall without fault on its part, be made a party to any action commenced by or against Landlord, for which Landlord is obligated to indemnify Tenant hereunder, then Landlord shall protect and hold Tenant harmless from, and shall pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees, of Tenant in connection therewith.
Except for claims, rights of recovery and causes of action covered by the waiver of subrogation, Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and its agents, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees and invitees, from all claims, losses, costs, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) in connection with any injury to, including death of, any person or damage to any property arising, wholly or in part, out of any prohibited use of the Premises or other action, omission, or neglect of Tenant or its Outside Contractors, directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, invitees, subtenants or guests, or any parties contracting with such party relating to the Project. If Landlord shall without fault on its part, be made a party to any action commenced by or against Tenant, for which Tenant is obligated to indemnify Landlord hereunder, then Tenant shall protect and hold Landlord harmless from, and shall pay all costs, expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees, of Landlord in connection therewith.
Landlords and Tenants obligations under this Section shall not be limited by the amount or types of insurance maintained or required to be maintained under this Lease. The obligations under this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
27. Non-Waiver. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by Landlord to any breach by Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease shall be construed as or constitute a consent or waiver to any other breach by Tenant. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by Tenant to any breach by Landlord of any of its obligations under this Lease shall be construed as or constitute a consent or waiver to any other breach by Landlord. Neither the acceptance by Landlord of any Rent or other payment, whether or not any Default by Tenant is then known to Landlord, nor any custom or practice followed in connection with this Lease shall constitute a waiver of any of Tenants obligations under this Lease. Failure by Landlord to complain of any act or omission by Tenant or to declare that a Default has occurred, irrespective of how long such failure may continue, shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any of its rights hereunder. Failure by Tenant to complain of any act or omission by Landlord, irrespective of how long such failure may continue, shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Tenant of any of its rights hereunder. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every obligation of the parties in which time of performance is a factor. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of an amount less than the Rent due shall be deemed to be other than a
13
partial payment of the Rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement of any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction. Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to its right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other right or remedy. Except for the execution and delivery of a written agreement expressly accepting surrender of the Premises, no act taken or failed to be taken by Landlord shall be deemed an acceptance of surrender of the Premises.
28. Quiet Possession. Provided Tenant has performed all its obligations, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Premises for the Term, subject to the provisions of this Lease.
29. Notices. Each notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and may be personally delivered, sent via nationally recognized overnight courier or placed in the United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed in each case at the address specified herein. A notice shall be deemed to have been received (a) upon the date of delivery or refusal thereof, if delivered personally or by overnight courier, or (b) if sent by registered or certified mail, (i) the date of delivery of such notice, as indicated on the duly completed United States Postal Service return receipt, if such receipt reflects delivery of such notice, (ii) on the date of refusal of such notice, if the refused notice reflects the date on which such notice is refused, or (iii) three (3) days after mailing of such notice, if the date of delivery of such notice cannot otherwise be established as provided above. Prior to the Commencement Date, the address for notices to Tenant shall be the address set forth in Section 1; after the Commencement Date, the address for Tenant shall be the Premises. Any notices to Landlord shall be addressed and given to Landlord at all of the following addresses:

30. Landlords Failure to Perform. If Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, Landlord shall not be in default and Tenant shall not have any rights or remedies growing out of such failure unless Tenant gives Landlord written notice setting forth in reasonable detail the nature and extent of such failure and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days following Landlords receipt of such notice or such longer period as may otherwise be provided herein. If such failure cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, the length for curing shall be extended as reasonably required.
31. Tenants Failure to Perform. If Tenant fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, in addition to the other rights of Landlord, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform all or any part of Tenants obligations. Upon receipt of a demand therefor, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost of performing such obligations, plus interest thereon at the Default Rate, defined below.
32. Default. Default means the occurrence of any one or more of the following: (i) failure of Tenant to pay when due any Rent or other amount required to be paid hereunder, if such failure continues for more than ten (10) days after Tenants receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to provide Tenant with notice of such failure and the ten (10) day period within which to cure such failure more than twice during the Term, and, at Landlords election, a subsequent failure to timely pay the Rent when due shall immediately constitute a Default hereunder; (ii) failure of Tenant, after thirty (30) days written notice, or such
14
other notice period specified in this Lease, to observe and fully perform all of Tenants obligations hereunder, other than payment of Rent which is covered above, except as otherwise provided below; (iii) the adjudication of Tenant to be bankrupt; (iv) the filing by Tenant of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or other similar proceedings; (v) the making by Tenant of a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (vi) the appointment of a receiver of Tenants interests in the Premises; (vii) any involuntary proceedings instituted against Tenant under any bankruptcy or similar laws, unless such is dismissed or stayed within sixty (60) days thereafter; (viii) if the Tenant is an individual or if the Tenant is controlled by a single individual, the death or incapacity of such individual; (ix) the filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or other similar proceeding by any Guarantor of Tenants obligations hereunder, or if such Guarantor is an individual or controlled by a single individual, the death or incapacity of such individual; (x) the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of the Guarantor, or any transaction involving the Guarantor which, if done by Tenant would constitute an assignment by Tenant hereunder, without the written consent of Landlord; or (xi) vacancy of the Premises for more than one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days. Notwithstanding any applicable notice and cure period provided above, Landlord shall not, with respect to the occurrence of any of the events described in subparts (ii) through (xi) above, be required to provide Tenant with notice of such failure and the cure period, if any, that would otherwise be applicable to such failure, more than twice during the Term for substantially the same failure, and, at Landlords election, a subsequent occurrence of substantially the same failure shall immediately constitute a Default hereunder.
Upon the occurrence of a Default, Landlord may, at its option and without waiving any other rights available herein, at law, or in equity, require Tenant to pay Rent by (a) wire transfer of funds to an account designated by Landlord or (b) direct draft from Tenants account through bank draft, ACH transfer, or other equivalent funds transfer to Landlords designated account. Execution of this Lease by Tenant and Landlord shall be evidence of Landlords authorization to debit Tenants account as set forth herein. Tenant shall provide all necessary information and execute any additional documents requested by Landlord to facilitate payment of Rent by the method designated by Landlord. Tenants failure to provide such information or documents within five (5) days after written notice by Landlord shall constitute a Default hereunder.
Upon the occurrence of a Default, Landlord may, at its option, without terminating this Lease, and with or without notice to Tenant, enter into and upon the Premises and, without being liable for any damages as a result thereof, maintain the Premises and repair or replace any damage to the Premises or do anything for which Tenant is responsible hereunder on Tenants behalf; and, in such event, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord immediately upon demand for any reasonable expenses which Landlord incurs in effecting Tenants compliance under this Lease.
In addition, if a Default occurs, then or at any time thereafter while such Default continues, Landlord, at its option, may, without waiving any other rights available herein, at law, or in equity, either terminate this Lease or terminate Tenants right to possession without terminating this Lease. In either event, Landlord may, without additional notice and without court proceedings, reenter and repossess the Premises, and remove all persons and property therefrom using such force as may be reasonably necessary. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, it may treat the Default as an entire breach of this Lease and Tenant immediately shall become liable to Landlord for damages for the entire breach in an amount equal to the total Rent and all other payments due for the balance of the Term discounted at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum to the then present value, and all unpaid Rent through the date of such termination. If Landlord elects to terminate Tenants right to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease, Landlord may rent the Premises or any part thereof for the account of Tenant to any person for such rent and for such terms and other conditions as Landlord deems practical, and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for the amount, if any, by which the total Rent and all other payments herein provided for the unexpired balance of the Term exceed the net amount, if any, received by Landlord from such re-renting, being the gross amount so received less the cost of repossession, re-renting, remodeling and other expenses relating thereto; Tenant shall be and remain liable for such net amount even after an eviction of Tenant from the Premises, should an eviction of Tenant from the Premises occur. Such sums shall be immediately due and payable by Tenant upon demand. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any rents received by Landlord from reletting the Premises, even if Landlord relets the Premises for an amount exceeding the Rent due from Tenant for the remainder of the unexpired Term. If a Default occurs or in case of any holding over or possession by Tenant of the Premises after the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for all costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys fees, court costs and related costs plus interest thereon at the Default Rate, defined below. Actions by Landlord to collect amounts due from Tenant as provided in this Section may be brought at any time, and from time to time, on one or more occasions, without the necessity of Landlords waiting until the termination of this Lease. The remedies expressed herein are cumulative and not exclusive, and the election by Landlord to terminate Tenants right to possession without terminating this Lease shall not deprive Landlord of the right, and Landlord shall have the continuing right, to terminate this Lease. Upon the occurrence of a Default, Landlord shall have the right to recover from Tenant all damages caused by Tenants Default and to pursue all rights and remedies available at law or in equity.
15
33. Surrender. On the last day of the Term, or upon the earlier termination hereof, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly surrender the Premises to Landlord, in good order and repair, excepting only reasonable wear and tear resulting from normal use. The Premises shall be surrendered free of all items of Tenants personal property, and otherwise in the condition required by the terms of this Lease, and the Premises shall be free and clear of any and all liens or encumbrances of any type.
34. Holding Over. If Tenant does not surrender possession of the Premises at the end of the Term or upon earlier termination of this Lease, at the election of Landlord, Tenant shall be a tenant-at-sufferance from day to day and the Rent due during the period of such holdover shall be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount which Tenant was obligated to pay for the immediately preceding month. Landlord shall provide Tenant with at least sixty (60) days prior written notice (or, if it is not practicable for Landlord to provide sixty (60) days notice, then the greatest amount of notice possible given the circumstances) of a new tenants intent to occupy the Premises or commence improvements to the Premises. If, following provision of such notice, Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to a new tenant or to perform improvements to the Premises for a new tenant as a result of Tenants holdover, then Tenant shall be liable for all actual damages that Landlord suffers as a result of Tenants holding over in the Premises.
35. Removal of Tenants Property. Prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall, at Tenants expense, remove all of Tenants removable trade fixtures and other items of personal property from the Premises. Tenant shall be responsible for any damage to the Premises or Project resulting from removal of any personal property, including Lines, of Tenant. If Tenant does not remove its property prior to termination, then, in addition to its other remedies at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the right to consider the property abandoned and such property may be removed by Landlord, at Tenants expense, or at Landlords option become its property, and Tenant shall have no further rights relating thereto or for reimbursement therefor.
36. Landlords Lien. In addition to and cumulative of Landlords statutory lien, Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a security interest in and to all furniture, furnishings, fixtures, equipment (other than computer hard drives), merchandise and other property placed in the Premises by Tenant to secure the performance of Tenants obligations under this Lease. At Landlords request, Tenant shall execute and cause or permit to be filed in the appropriate public records all documents required to perfect such security interest pursuant to the terms of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the state where the Project is located.
37. Interest. All amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, if not paid when due, shall bear interest from the date due until paid at a rate equal to the lesser of fifteen percent (15%) per annum, compounded monthly, or the then maximum lawful rate (Default Rate).
38. Assignment and Subletting. Landlord shall have the right to transfer and assign in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, its rights and obligations hereunder whenever Landlord, in its sole judgment, deems it appropriate without any liability to Tenant, and Tenant shall attorn to any party to which Landlord transfers its rights and obligations hereunder or the Building. Any sale, conveyance or transfer of the Building or Project will operate to release Landlord from liability from and after the effective date of such sale, conveyance, transfer or assignment upon all of the covenants, terms and conditions of this Lease, express or implied, except for those liabilities that arose prior to the effective date of such sale, conveyance, transfer or assignment. After such effective date, Tenant will look solely to Landlords successor in interest in and to this Lease.
Tenant shall not assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber this Lease, or any interest herein, and shall not sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or permit any other party to occupy or use the Premises, or any portion thereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Landlords consent shall not be considered unreasonably withheld if: (i) the proposed subtenants or assignees financial responsibility or insurance does not meet the same criteria Landlord uses to select comparable Building tenants; (ii) the proposed subtenants or assignees business is not, in the Landlords reasonable good faith judgment, suitable for the Building considering the business of the other tenants and the Buildings prestige; (iii) the proposed use is inconsistent with the Authorized Use permitted by Section 3; or (iv) the proposed subtenant or assignee is an occupant of the Building, or if the proposed subtenant or assignee, whether
16
or not an occupant of the Building, is in discussions with Landlord regarding the leasing of space within the Building. Whether or not Landlord consents to any proposed assignment or subletting of any portion of the Premises, Tenant shall timely pay Landlords review and processing fee of $750.00 (Sublease/Assignment Processing Fee) in addition to any reasonable professional fees (including, without limitation, legal, architectural, engineering, and consulting fees) incurred by Landlord in connection with such proposed assignment or subletting not to exceed $2,500.00 (Sublease/Assignment Professional Fees). The Sublease/Assignment Processing Fee shall be paid by Tenant simultaneously with each request by Tenant to assign or sublease any portion of the Premises. The Sublease/Assignment Professional Fees shall, at Landlords option, be paid by Tenant (a) prior to Landlords denial or execution of a consent to the proposed assignment or subletting or (b) within ten (10) days of Tenants receipt of an invoice from Landlord for such fees. Any subletting of the Premises or assignment of the Lease by Tenant in violation of the provisions of this Section 38 shall constitute a Default.
A Change in Control of Tenant shall be deemed for purposes of this Lease to constitute an assignment of this Lease by Tenant which shall require the consent of Landlord and entitle Landlord to exercise its options as provided hereunder. As used in this Section, a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred when: (x) any person, after the date hereof, acquires directly or indirectly the Beneficial Ownership (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of any voting interests or equity interests of Tenant and immediately after such acquisition such person is, directly or indirectly, the Beneficial Owner of voting or equity interests representing 50% or more of the total voting interest or equity interest of all of the then-outstanding equity interests or voting interests of Tenant; (y) the stockholders, partners, members or other equity holders of Tenant shall approve a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, or reorganization of Tenant, or consummation of any such transaction if equity holder approval is not sought or obtained; or (z) the stockholders, partners, members or other equity holders of Tenant shall approve a plan of complete liquidation of Tenant or an agreement for the sale or disposition by Tenant of all or a substantial portion of such entitys assets (i.e., 50% or more of the total assets of such entity).
If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublease the Premises, Tenant shall provide Landlord notice in writing at least thirty (30) days in advance of the date on which Tenant desires such assignment or sublease to take effect. Tenants notice shall include (A) the name and address of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (B) the nature of the proposed subtenants or assignees business it will operate in the Premises; (C) the terms of the proposed sublease or assignment; and (D) reasonable financial information so that Landlord can evaluate the proposed subtenant or assignee. Landlord shall, within twenty (20) days after receiving such information, give notice to the Tenant to (i) permit or deny the proposed sublease or assignment or (ii) terminate this Lease as to the space so affected as of the date specified in Tenants notice (and as to option (ii) only, Tenant will be relieved of all further obligations hereunder as to the terminated space). If Landlord does not give notice within the thirty (30) day period, then Landlord shall be deemed to have consented to the sublease or assignment upon the terms provided in Tenants notice.
Notwithstanding an assignment or subletting (i) subleases and assignments by Tenant shall be subject to the terms of this Lease; (ii) Tenant shall remain liable for all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease; (iii) consent to one sublease or assignment does not waive the consent requirement for future assignments or subleases; and (iv) fifty percent (50%) of the consideration received by Tenant from an assignment or sublease that exceeds the amount Tenant must pay Landlord hereunder, excluding reasonable leasing commissions paid by Tenant, payments attributable to the amortization of the cost of improvements made to the Premises at Tenants cost for the assignee or sublessee, and other reasonable, out-of-pocket costs paid by Tenant directly related to Tenants obtaining an assignee or sublessee, shall also be paid to Landlord. Tenant shall pay such amount to Landlord at the beginning of each calendar month. Landlord shall have the right to audit Tenants books and records to verify the accuracy of the payments under this Section. If Tenant has sublet the Premises, and thereafter a Default occurs hereunder, Landlord may proceed to collect any rent thereafter becoming due to Tenant under the sublease directly from the subtenant; in which event such collected rent shall be applied by Landlord to the Rent due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder; provided, however, that the collection of rent from Tenants subtenant shall not create a privity of contract between Landlord and such subtenant.
If the proposed sublessee or assignee is approved by Landlord and Tenant fails to enter into the sublease or assignment with the approved sublessee or assignee within ninety (90) days after the date Tenant submitted its proposal to Landlord, then Landlords approval shall expire, and Tenant must comply again with the conditions of this Section. Notwithstanding the giving by Landlord of its consent to any sublease or assignment with respect to the Premises, no sublessee or assignee may exercise any renewal options, expansion options, rights of first refusal or similar rights except in accordance with a separate written agreement entered into directly between the Landlord and such sublessee or assignee provided Tenant continues to be liable for the performance of all obligations hereunder, as increased or otherwise affected by the exercise of such rights. Tenant may not exercise any renewal options, expansion options, rights of first refusal or similar rights under this Lease if Tenant has assigned all of its interest in this Lease excepting transfers as set forth in the following paragraph of this Section 38.
17
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublease part or all of the Premises without Landlords consent to: (i) any corporation, limited liability company, or partnership that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, Tenant at the Commencement Date; or (ii) any corporation or limited liability company resulting from the merger or consolidation with Tenant or to any entity that acquires all of Tenants assets as a going concern of the business that is being conducted on the Premises; provided however, the assignor remains liable under the Lease and the assignee or sublessee is a bona fide entity and assumes the obligations of Tenant, is as creditworthy as the Tenant, and continues the same Authorized Use as provided under Section 3 of this Lease.
39. Merger of Estates. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant or a mutual cancellation hereof, shall not work a merger, but shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies, or may, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to Landlord of Tenants interest in such subleases or subtenancies.
40. Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenants sole and exclusive method of collecting on any judgment Tenant obtains against Landlord, or any other award made to Tenant in any judicial process requiring the payment of money by Landlord for the failure of Landlord to perform any of its obligations, shall be to proceed against the interests of Landlord in and to the Project. Therefore, Tenant hereby agrees that no personal or corporate liability of any kind or character whatsoever now attaches or at any time hereafter under any condition shall attach to Landlord for payment or performance of any obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, any Landlord indemnity obligations under Section 26. The obligations under this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
41. Subordination. The rights and interests of Tenant under this Lease and in and to the Premises shall be subject and subordinate to all easements and recorded restrictions, covenants, and agreements pertaining to the Project, or any part thereof, and to all deeds of trust, mortgages, and other security instruments and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof (the Security Documents) heretofore or hereafter executed by Landlord covering the Premises, the Building or any part of the Project, to the same extent as if the Security Documents had been executed, delivered and recorded prior to the execution of this Lease. After Tenants receipt of a notice from Landlord that it has entered into one or more Security Documents, then, during the term of such Security Documents, Tenant shall deliver to the holder or holders of all Security Documents a copy of all notices to Landlord and shall grant to such holder or holders the right to cure all defaults, if any, of Landlord hereunder within the same time period provided in this Lease for curing such defaults by Landlord and, except with the prior written consent of the holder or holders of the Security Documents, shall not surrender or terminate this Lease except pursuant to a right to terminate expressly set forth in this Lease. Tenant shall attorn to any holder of any Security Documents or its successor in interest by foreclosure or otherwise. The provisions of this subsection shall be self-operative and shall not require further agreement by Tenant; however, at the request of Landlord, Tenant shall execute such further documents as may be required by the holder of any Security Documents. Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Tenant, at Tenants cost and expense, in obtaining a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from Landlords mortgagee on such mortgagees then standard form. At any time and from time to time upon not less than ten (10) days prior notice by Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Landlord a written estoppel certificate certifying: (i) the Rentable Area of the Premises, (ii) the Commencement Date and Expiration Date of this Lease, (iii) the Base Rent, Base Year and Additional Rent, (iv) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications, (v) whether or not the Landlord is in default in the keeping, observance or performance of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition of this Lease and, if so, specifying each such default, (vi) that Tenant has unconditionally accepted and occupied the Premises, (vii) that all requirements of the Lease have been complied with and no charges, set-offs or other credits exist against any rentals, (viii) that Tenant has not assigned, pledged, sublet, or otherwise transferred any interest in this Lease; and (ix) such other matters as Landlord may reasonably request, it being intended that any such statement may be relied upon by Landlord, any prospective purchaser, mortgagee or assignee of any mortgage of the Building or the Project or of the Landlords interest therein.
42. Legal Interpretation. This Lease shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state where the Project is located. The determination that any provision of this Lease is invalid, void, illegal, or unenforceable shall not affect or invalidate the remainder. All obligations of the parties requiring any performance
18
after the expiration of the Term shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and shall be fully enforceable in accordance with those provisions pertaining thereto. If Tenant consists of two or more parties, then all parties comprising the Tenant shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations of Tenant hereunder. Should any provisions of this Lease require judicial interpretation, it is agreed that the court interpreting or construing the same shall not apply a presumption that the terms of any such provision shall be more strictly construed against one party or the other by reason of a rule of construction that a document is to be construed most strictly against the party who itself or through its agent prepared the same, it being agreed that the agents of both parties hereto have participated in the preparation of this Lease.
43. Use of Names and Signage. Tenant shall not have the right to use the name of the Project or Building except in connection with Tenants address, and then such terms cannot be emphasized or displayed with more prominence than the rest of such address. Landlord shall have the right to change the name of the Building or Project whenever Landlord in its sole judgment deems appropriate without any consent of or liability to Tenant. Any signage of Tenant within its Premises is subject to the prior written approval of Landlord which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided in all cases, Tenant shall be solely responsible for ensuring that such signage complies with all applicable Laws and for all costs and expenses relating to any such signage, including, without limitation, design, installation, any operating costs, maintenance, cleaning, repair and removal. Tenant shall be obligated to pay the cost and expense of repairing any damage associated with the removal of any such signage. Tenant shall have no right to place any signage outside the Premises, on the exterior of the Building or elsewhere in the Project. Landlord, at Landlords cost, shall provide Tenant with Building Standard signage located (a) in the Buildings lobby and (b) at the suite entrance to the Premises. Provided Tenant is not in Default under the Lease, and Tenant continues to lease at least 17,051 rentable square feet of space in the Building, Landlord shall install Tenants company name on one (1) Building Standard display panel on the Buildings directional monument sign located between the parking garage and Building existing as of the Effective Date (the Monument Sign), provided that (i) the location of such panel shall be as determined by Landlord, (ii) Tenants display panel shall not be larger than the display panel of any other tenant of the Building on the Monument Sign, and (iii) Tenants display panel shall comply with all applicable Laws, with Landlord otherwise retaining the right to determine the design, style, color, shape, material, and size of such display panel. The monument signage right granted herein is not exclusive and Landlord reserves the right to grant monument signage rights to others. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (x) Landlord shall have the right to update, modify, relocate, replace, repair and otherwise change the Monument Sign so long as Tenant retains the right to display its company name on such sign, and (y) in the event that at any time the Monument Sign ceases to exist, or is damaged in whole or in material part, then Landlord shall be under no duty or obligation to repair or replace the Monument Sign.
44. Relocation. Landlord reserves the right to relocate the Premises to reasonably comparable space within the Project. Landlord will give Tenant written notice of its intention to relocate the Premises, and Tenant will complete such relocation within sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice. Upon relocation, this Lease will be amended by deleting the description of the original Premises and substituting for it a description of such new space. Landlord agrees to reimburse Tenant for its actual reasonable moving costs within the Project, the reasonable costs of reprinting reasonable quantities of stationery, and the costs of rewiring for telephone and computers comparable to the original Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided Tenant is not in Default under the Lease, and Tenant continues to lease at least 17,051 rentable square feet of space in the Building, Landlord shall not have the right to relocate Tenant pursuant to this Section 44.
45. Brokerage Fees. Landlords Broker represents Landlords interests in connection with this transaction and shall be paid by Landlord for its services pursuant to a separate, written agreement fully executed by Landlords Broker and Landlord prior to full execution of this Lease. Landlords Broker does not represent Tenant in this transaction. If Tenant is represented by a broker in this transaction, as disclosed in Section 1(p) of this Lease, then Tenants Broker represents Tenants interests in connection with this transaction and shall be paid by Landlord for its services pursuant to a separate, written agreement fully executed by Tenants Broker and Landlord prior to full execution of this Lease. Tenant warrants and represents that it has had no dealings with any broker in connection with the negotiation or execution of this Lease other than Landlords Broker and, if applicable, Tenants Broker. Except as expressly provided above, Landlord will not be responsible for, and Tenant will indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from and against, any brokerage or leasing commission or finders fee claimed by any party in connection with this Lease.
19
46. Successors and Assigns. This Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Landlord and its successors and assigns, and Tenant and its permitted successors and assigns.
47. Force Majeure. Except for the payment of Rent or any other sum due hereunder, each party hereto shall be excused for the period of any delay and shall not be deemed in default with respect to the performance of any of its obligations when prevented from so doing by a cause beyond such partys reasonable control, including, without limitation, labor disputes, government regulations, fire or casualty, acts of terrorism, inability to obtain any materials or services, or acts of God (collectively, Force Majeure Events).
48. Parking. While Tenant is occupying the Premises and is not in Default, Tenant shall have the right in common with other tenants to use the Parking Spaces in the Buildings Parking Facility indicated in Section 1, subject to any applicable parking rules and regulations promulgated from time to time. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall execute a separate parking license agreement detailing Landlords and Tenants rights and obligations with respect to the Parking Spaces. Tenant shall be entitled to use only the number of spaces allocated to Tenant by the Parking Ratio. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to grant to Tenant any estate in real property nor the exclusive right to a particular parking space, but rather as a license only.
49. Rooftop Antenna. Tenant shall have no right to place any microwave, satellite or other type of antenna on the roof or exterior of the Building without the prior written consent of Landlord which may be withheld or conditioned in Landlords sole and absolute discretion. Landlord expressly reserves the right to charge a fee relating to each such device.
50. Attorneys Fees. If Tenant fails to pay any Rent or other sum due under this Lease, or fails to perform an obligation of Tenant hereunder, and Landlord engages an attorney to collect such sum or enforce such obligation, then, in addition to such sums, Tenant shall also pay Landlords reasonable attorneys fees and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred in such engagement. If Landlord and Tenant litigate any provision of this Lease or the subject matter hereof, the unsuccessful party will pay to the successful party all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses and court costs, incurred by the successful party, including any cost incurred by the successful party on appeal; provided, however that a recovery of attorneys fees by Landlord under this sentence shall include, but shall not duplicate, the recovery by Landlord of its reasonable attorneys fees and other reasonable costs and expenses of collection permitted under the first sentence of this Section.
51. Tenant Certification. Tenant certifies that, as of the Effective Date hereof: (i) neither it nor its officers, directors, or controlling owners is listed as a Specifically Designated National or Blocked Person (SDN) on the SDN list maintained and updated from time to time on the United States Treasury Departments website (the SDN List), or is otherwise a banned or blocked person, entity, or nation pursuant to any law, order, rule or regulation that is enforced or administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), or is otherwise named by any Executive Order, the United States Department of Justice, or the United States Treasury Department as a terrorist; (ii) neither it nor its officers, directors, or controlling owners, is acting, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of any person, group, entity, or nation that is listed on the SDN List or is otherwise named by any Executive Order, the United States Department of Justice, or the United States Treasury Department as a terrorist, SDN or other banned or blocked person, entity, nation, or transaction pursuant to any law, order, rule or regulation that is enforced or administered by the OFAC; (iii) neither it nor its officers, directors, or controlling owners is engaged in this transaction, directly or indirectly on behalf of, or instigating or facilitating this transaction, directly or indirectly on behalf of, any such person, group, entity, or nation; (iv) neither it nor its officers, directors, or controlling owners is in violation of Presidential Executive Order 13224, the USA PATRIOT Act, the Bank Secrecy Act, the Money Laundering Control Act, or any regulations promulgated pursuant thereto (collectively, Anti-Terrorism Laws); and (v) neither it nor its officers, directors, or controlling owners is an entity with whom Landlord is prohibited from transacting business under any of the Anti-Terrorism Laws.
Tenant further certifies that, during the Term of this Lease (and any extensions thereof), Tenant will not violate any of the Anti-Terrorism Laws, and it will not do business with any entity that violates any of the Anti- Terrorism Laws. Upon the request of Landlord from time to time during the Term (and any extensions thereof), Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord a certificate stating that Tenant is then in compliance with the provisions of this section of the Lease.
Tenant shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord), and hold Landlord and its directors, officers, partners, members, shareholders, employees, and agents harmless from any and all obligations,
20
claims, administrative proceedings, judgments, damages, fines, penalties, costs, and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys fees and costs, incurred by Landlord or its directors, officers, partners, members, shareholders, employees, or agents as a result of the breach of the foregoing certification. Moreover, to the extent any provision of this section of the Lease is breached during the Term of this Lease (and any extensions thereof), Landlord may, at its sole option, immediately terminate this Lease without payment or obligation to Tenant.
52. Memorandum of Lease. Except for a memorandum of lease to be recorded at Landlords request, neither this Lease, nor a memorandum of this Lease, shall be recorded in any public real estate records.
53. Financial Statements. Upon request, but no more than once per Lease Year, Landlord may require Tenant to provide Landlord with Tenants then current financial statements. If required, such financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and, if it is required by law or it is the normal practice of Tenant, such financial statements shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant. If such financial statements are not audited, they shall be certified as being true and correct by Tenants chief financial officer.
54. Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any litigation between the parties hereto, to the extent that a trial by jury would be available as to any matters in such litigation, the parties hereby expressly waive the right to a trial by jury as to such matters, and hereby agree not to demand a jury trial as to any such matters in such litigation.
55. Radon Gas. Tenant hereby acknowledges receipt of the following notice as required by Chapter 88- 285, Laws of Florida: RADON GAS: Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your county public health unit.
56. Governing Law. This Lease shall be performed in the state where the Premises are located, and the terms of this Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of such state.
57. Entire Agreement. No oral statements or prior written material not specifically incorporated herein shall be of any force or effect. Tenant agrees that in entering into this Lease and accepting the Premises, it relies solely upon the representations and agreements contained in this Lease, the exhibits attached hereto and the written agreements, if any, executed contemporaneously herewith. This Lease, including the Exhibits which are attached hereto and a part hereof, constitutes the entire agreement of the parties and shall not be conditioned, modified or supplemented except by a written agreement executed by both parties.
58. Multiple Counterparts: Electronic Signatures. This Lease may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. The counterparts of this Lease may be executed by electronic signatures and may be delivered electronically by any party to any other party and the receiving party may rely on the receipt of such document so executed and delivered by electronic means as if the original had been received.
59. No Liens. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as a consent on the part of Landlord to subject the estate of Landlord to liability under the Construction Lien Law of the State of Florida, it being expressly understood that the Landlords estate shall not be subject to such liability. Tenant shall strictly comply with the Construction Lien Law of the State of Florida as set forth in Chapter 713, Florida Statutes as to any work undertaken by Tenant in the Building. Any Notice of Commencement filed by or on behalf of Tenant shall contain, in bold print the following The interest of Landlord in the Premises and Property shall not be subject in any way to any liens for improvements or other work performed by or on behalf of any Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant at its expense shall cause any lien filed against the Premises, the Building or the Project for work, services or materials claimed to have been furnished to or for the benefit of Tenant to be satisfied or transferred to bond within fifteen (15) days after Tenants having received notice thereof. In the event that Tenant fails to satisfy or transfer to bond such claim of lien within said fifteen (15) day period, Landlord may do so and thereafter charge Tenant as additional Rent, all costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the satisfaction or transfer of such claim, including reasonable attorneys fees. Further, Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend, and save the Landlord harmless from and against any
21
damage to and loss incurred by Landlord as a result of any such contractors claim of lien. If so requested by Landlord, Tenant shall execute a short form or memorandum of this Lease, which may, in Landlords sole discretion be recorded in the Public Records of Hillsborough County for the purpose of protecting Landlords estate from contractors Claims of Lien, as provided in Chapter 713.10, Florida Statutes.

Any security deposit paid by Tenant may be used by Landlord for the satisfaction or transfer of any Contractors Claim of Lien, as provided in this Paragraph. This Paragraph shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

EXHIBIT D TO LEASE
WORK LETTER
This Work Letter supplements the Lease to which this Work Letter is attached and, together with the Lease, governs the construction of the Initial Improvements to the Premises. All capitalized terms appearing in this Work Letter shall have the same meaning as those appearing in the Lease, except as expressly modified herein.
1. | Initial Improvements |
a. | The design and construction of the improvements shown in the Construction Documents defined below (the Initial Improvements) shall be at the expense of Landlord, except as otherwise provided below. The Construction Documents shall be based on the space plan attached to this Work Letter as Exhibit D-1 (the Space Plan), and the scope of construction and Building Standard materials to be used in connection with such construction designated on Exhibit D-2 to this Work Letter (the Scope of Construction). |
b. | The cost of the Initial Improvements shall include all hard construction costs (e.g., materials) and related soft costs (e.g., architectural fees, construction management fees and other indirect construction costs incurred by Landlord or its contractor in constructing the Initial Improvements). In connection with the services to be provided by Landlord hereunder, a construction management fee equal to five percent (5%) of the total cost of the Initial Improvements shall be paid to Parkway Realty Services, LLC (an affiliate of Landlord) (the Construction Management Fee). The total amount of the hard and soft construction costs and the Construction Management Fee is referred to herein as the Improvement Costs. |
c. | All Improvement Costs shall be paid by Landlord, except to the extent the Improvement Costs are increased as a result of (i) any change requested by Tenant to the Space Plan, the Scope of Construction or the Final Construction Documents, defined below, or (ii) Tenant Delay, defined below, in either of which instances such excess costs (the Excess Costs) shall be Tenants responsibility, and Tenant shall pay such Excess Costs to Landlord within ten (10) days after Tenants receipt of Landlords invoice for such Excess Costs. |
2. | Construction Documents |
a. | The parties acknowledge that they have approved the Space Plan for the Premises attached to this Work Letter as Exhibit D-1 and the Scope of Construction attached to this Work Letter as Exhibit D-2. Neither review nor approval by Landlord of the Space Plan or the Scope of Construction shall constitute a representation or warranty by Landlord that such documents are either (i) complete or suitable for their intended purpose or (ii) comply with applicable Laws. |
b. | Landlords architect shall prepare a set of construction documents sufficient for permitting and obtaining bids for the construction and installation of the Initial Improvements (the Construction Documents). Tenant shall have five (5) business days from receipt of the Construction Documents to review and approve the Construction Documents, and thereafter the approved Construction Documents shall be the Final Construction Documents. |
c. | Tenant shall not, without Landlords prior written approval, make any changes to the Final Construction Documents. |
3. | Construction of Initial Improvements |
a. | Upon the full execution of the Lease and the approval by both parties of the Final Construction Documents, Landlord shall proceed to construct the Initial Improvements in accordance with the Final Construction Documents. |
29
b. | If Tenant desires to change the Final Construction Documents, Tenant shall, at its expense, provide to Landlord plans and specifications for such change(s). All such plans and specifications shall be subject to Landlords written approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld. In the event any such approved change increases the Improvement Costs, such increase shall constitute Excess Costs and shall be paid by Tenant as provided in Section 1(c) of this Work Letter. |
c. | If Tenant requests Landlord to perform additional work to the Premises outside the scope of the Final Construction Documents, then such work shall be performed by Landlord at Tenants expense. Prior to commencing any such work requested by Tenant, Landlord will submit to Tenant written estimates of the cost of any such work. If Tenant fails to approve any such estimate within ten (10) days, then the same shall be deemed disapproved in all respects by Tenant, and Landlord shall not be authorized to proceed thereon. |
d. | If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with any of the above-specified items within twenty (20) days after the dates specified herein, then Landlord may, at its option, declare a Default under the Lease and exercise any of Landlords remedies for Default thereunder, including terminating the Lease. If Landlord so terminates the Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in refurbishing the Premises for Tenant within ten (10) days after Tenants receipt of Landlords invoice for same. |
e. | Upon Substantial Completion (defined below), Landlord will assign to Tenant, on a nonexclusive basis, all warranties available from the contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, manufacturers, and materialmen for construction of the Initial Improvements. Substantial Completion shall mean the earlier of (i) the date the Initial Improvements are completed such that Tenant can take beneficial occupancy of the Premises (with the term beneficial occupancy defined as the Premises being ready for furniture installation and/or move-in by Tenant) or (ii) the date an applicable certificate or temporary certificate of occupancy or completion, as applicable, is issued with respect to the Initial Improvements. Tenants sole and exclusive remedy for any defects in materials and/or workmanship shall be for the repair of such defects, or the replacement of the portion of the Initial Improvements affected by such defects, under the aforementioned warranties, and Landlord shall not be responsible for any defect of any nature in the Initial Improvements. Landlord makes no warranties, expressed or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, in connection with the Initial Improvements. Tenants sole remedy for breach of any applicable warranty shall be the remedy set forth in this Section. Tenant agrees that no other remedy, including without limitation incidental or consequential damages for lost profits, injury to person or property, or any other incidental or consequential loss, shall be available to Tenant. |
f. | During the thirty (30) day period preceding Substantial Completion, Tenants architects, vendors, and other duly authorized agents shall have the right to enter the Premises for purposes of inspection, making measurements, and installing system furniture (after any floor covering that is part of the Initial Improvements has been installed), phone equipment, and telecommunications cabling, provided each such agent presents Landlord with a Landlord-approved certificate of insurance naming Landlord as an Additional Insured. All contractors engaged by Tenant shall be required to comply with the Construction Rules and Regulations for the Building, a copy of which Tenant shall obtain from Landlord prior to commencing any such work in the Premises. |
g. | Upon Substantial Completion, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a punch list of items requiring completion and/or correction with regard to the Initial Improvements (Punch List). Landlord shall complete the Punch List as soon as reasonably practicable. Landlord shall own all Building Standard Initial Improvements as part of the Building. Upon Substantial Completion, the Initial Improvements shall be deemed by Tenant to be satisfactorily completed except to the extent noted in the Punch List. |
h. | All Above Standard Initial Improvements shall be and remain the property of Tenant, until the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease or Tenants right to possession of the Premises under |
30
this Lease, at which time such Above Standard Initial Improvements shall become the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered to Landlord with the Premises, unless Landlord specifies, at the time of the approval of the installation of such Above Standard Initial Improvements, that Landlord will require Tenant to remove same upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease or Tenants right to possession of the Premises under the Lease. Any required removal of Above Standard Initial Improvements shall be at Tenants expense, and upon such removal, Tenant shall repair any damage to the Premises resulting from such removal. Tenant shall, at Tenants expense, be responsible for cleaning and maintaining any Above Standard Initial Improvements in good condition and repair throughout the Term of this Lease, and Tenant shall insure same as provided in Section 20 of the Lease. |
4. | Selection of Contractor |
Landlord, acting in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right to select the contractor for the Initial Improvements.
5. | Commencement Date |
The Commencement Date of this Lease shall be determined in accordance with the terms of Section 1(h) of the Lease. Provided, however, that for purposes of determining the Commencement Date pursuant to Section 1(h) of the Lease, the date on which Substantial Completion shall be deemed to have occurred shall be accelerated on a day-for-day basis for each day of Tenant Delay, defined below. For example, if Substantial Completion actually occurs on January 16 of a given year, but there were fifteen (15) days of Tenant Delay, then Substantial Completion will be deemed to have occurred on January 1 of such year.
6. | Tenant Delay |
The term Tenant Delay shall mean each day that Substantial Completion is delayed by any of the following:
a. | Tenants failure to respond within the time periods specified in this Work Letter, and if no applicable time period is specified in this Work Letter, then within reasonable time periods prescribed by Landlord, to a request for information necessary for the completion of the Construction Documents or the Final Construction Documents; or |

Prior to installing the Supplemental HVAC Equipment, Tenant shall obtain any permits or licenses that may be required in order to install and operate such equipment, and Tenant shall timely deliver copies of same to Landlord.

EXHIBIT G
EXTENSION OPTION
Tenant shall have the following option to extend the Term of this Lease:
(a) | Grant of Extension Option. So long as this Lease is in full force and effect; no Default has occurred during the twelve (12) month period prior to Landlords receipt of the Preliminary notice, defined below; and no Default exists, either at the time of the exercise of the option set forth herein or at the commencement of the Extension Term set forth herein, Tenant is hereby granted the option to extend the Term of this Lease (the Extension Option) for a period of five (5) additional years (the Extension Term), to commence at the expiration of the initial Term of the Lease. The extension of this Lease shall be upon the same terms and conditions of this Lease, except: (i) the Base Rent applicable during the Extension Term shall be determined as set forth below; (ii) Tenant shall have no option to extend this Lease beyond the expiration of the Extension Term; (iii) Tenant shall not have the right to assign its extension rights to any subtenant of the Premises or assignee of the Lease, nor may any such subtenant or assignee exercise or enjoy the benefit of the Extension Option except transfer not requiring Landlords consent; and (iv) the leasehold improvements will be provided in their then existing condition at the time the Extension Term commences. |
(b) | Preliminary Notice. If Tenant intends to exercise the Extension Option, Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice, in accordance with the Notices provision of this Lease (the Preliminary Notice), of such intention at least nine (9) months,, prior to the expiration of the initial Term of the Lease. If, for whatever reason, Tenant does not forward Preliminary Notice to Landlord, in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, that Tenant intends to exercise the Extension Option, then the Extension Option set forth herein shall expire, and Tenant shall not thereafter have any right to exercise the Extension Option or otherwise acquire an interest in the Premises after the expiration of the initial Term of this Lease. |
(c) | Rental Applicable During Extension Term. Within thirty (30) days after Landlords receipt of Tenants Preliminary Notice, Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice (the Rent Notice), of the Base Rent that will be applicable during the Extension Term, and the Base Year that will be used during the Extension Term (collectively, the Extension Term Rent). The Extension Term Rent shall be determined by Landlord, and shall consist of Landlords good faith determination of the market rental rate for the Premises as of the commencement of the Extension Term, taking into consideration such factors as rental for comparable premises in the Building; the applicable base year; rental for comparable premises in existing buildings in the same geographical area as the Building (taking into consideration, but not limited to, use, quality, age and location of the applicable building); the rentable area of the premises being leased; the length of the pertinent rental term; the quality and creditworthiness of the tenant, and such other factors as Landlord may reasonably determine are relevant. |
(d) | Extension Notice. If, after review of Landlords determination of the Extension Term Rent, Tenant elects to exercise the Extension Option, then, no later than fifteen (15) days after Tenants receipt of Landlords Rent Notice, Tenant shall forward written notice of such election (the Extension Notice) to Landlord in accordance with the Notices provision of this Lease. Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after presentation by Landlord, execute an amendment to this Lease, which amendment shall reflect the extension of the Term of the Lease through the expiration of the Extension Term, and the Extension Term Rent (including the specification of the base rent and the base year that will be applicable during the Extension Term). If, after providing Landlord with Tenants Preliminary Notice, Tenant does not, for whatever reason, provide Landlord with the Extension Notice required hereunder in order to exercise the Extension Option, or the Arbitration Notice, as defined below, then the Extension Option shall expire; Tenants Preliminary Notice shall be of no further force or effect; and it shall be as if the Preliminary Notice had never been forwarded by Tenant to Landlord. |
(e) | Negotiation Period. If, after review of Landlords determination of the Extension Term Rent, Tenant desires to exercise the Extension Option, but Tenant objects to Landlords determination of the Extension Term Rent, then no later than fifteen (15) days after Tenants receipt of Landlords Rent Notice, Tenant may forward written notice to Landlord in accordance with the Notices provision of this Lease that Tenant elects to proceed with the arbitration procedure set forth below (the Arbitration Notice). Within the fifteen (15) day period |
37
following Landlords receipt of the Arbitration Notice (the Negotiation Period) from Tenant, Tenant and Landlord shall negotiate in good faith to determine and mutually agree upon the Extension Term Rent. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Extension Term Rent during the Negotiation Period, which agreement would be evidenced by an amendment to the Lease executed by both Landlord and Tenant, then within five (5) days after the last day of the Negotiation Period, Tenant may, by written notice to Landlord (the Notice of Exercise), irrevocably elect to exercise the Extension Option, with the Extension Term Rent to be determined in accordance with the arbitration procedure set forth below, which determination shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant. In the event that Tenant shall fail to deliver the Notice of Exercise on or before five (5) days after the last day of the Negotiation Period, then Tenant shall have waived any right to exercise the Extension Option. In the event Tenant timely delivers the Notice of Exercise to Landlord, Landlord and Tenant shall each simultaneously present to the other party their final determinations of the Extension Term Rent (the Final Offers) within ten (10) days after the last day of the Negotiation Period. If the lower of the Final Offers is at least ninety percent (90%) of the higher of the Final Offers, then the Extension Term Rent shall be determined by averaging the Final Offers. If the lower of the Final Offers is less than ninety percent (90%) of the higher of the Final Offers, then the Extension Term Rent shall be determined by arbitration, in accordance with the procedure set forth below. |
(f) | Arbitration. Arbitration shall follow the following procedures: |
(i) | Within ten (10) days after Landlords receipt of Tenants Notice of Exercise, Tenant and Landlord shall each select an arbitrator (Tenants Arbitrator and Landlords Arbitrator, respectively) who shall be a qualified and impartial person licensed in the state where the Building is located as a commercial real estate broker with at least ten (10) years of brokerage experience in the market where the Building is located. |
(ii) | Landlords Arbitrator and Tenants Arbitrator shall name a third arbitrator, similarly qualified, within ten (10) days after the appointment of Landlords Arbitrator and Tenants Arbitrator. |
(iii) | The third arbitrator shall, after due consideration of the factors to be taken into account under the definition of Extension Term Rent set forth above, and hearing whatever evidence the arbitrator deems appropriate from Landlord, Tenant and others, and obtaining any other information the arbitrator deems necessary, in good faith, make its own determination of the Extension Term Rent for the Premises as of the commencement of the Extension Term (the Arbitrators Initial Determination) and thereafter select either Landlords Final Offer or the Tenants Final Offer, but no other, whichever is closest to the Arbitrators Initial Determination (the Final Determination), such determination to be made within twenty (20) days after the appointment of the third arbitrator.

EXHIBIT H
RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER
Tenant shall have the following right of first offer:
(a) | Grant of Right of First Offer. So long as this Lease is in full force and effect; no Default has occurred during the twelve (12) month period prior to the date on which a Notice of Availability, defined below, would otherwise be forwarded by Landlord to Tenant; and no Default exists, either at the time of exercise of the right set forth herein or on the date the Option Space, as defined below, is to become a part of the Premises, Tenant shall have the right of first offer (the Right of First Offer) to lease any space on the third (3rd) floor of the Building that is then contiguous to the Premises (the Option Space) if it becomes Available, defined below, on or after the Commencement Date and during the Option Term, defined below, subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth herein. Tenants Right of First Offer shall be subject and subordinate to the right of the existing tenant of all or any portion of the Option Space to renew or otherwise extend the term of its lease for such space, whether such right is granted before or after the Effective Date hereof, and to any other rights of any other parties to lease all or any portion of the Option Space, if such rights were granted in writing prior to the Effective Date hereof. |
(b) | Term of the Right of First Offer. The term of the Right of First Offer (the Option Term) shall commence on the Commencement Date of this Lease, and shall expire the earlier of (i) twenty-four (24) months prior to the expiration of the Term of this Lease, as the same may be extended by the written agreement of the parties from time to time; (ii) the date on which all portions of the Option Space have been leased by Tenant; or (iii) the date on which the Right of First Offer is terminated, as provided below. |
(c) | Availability of the Option Space. As used herein, the term Available shall mean not subject to any lease or any extension or expansion rights; or subject to a lease, and (i) such lease is scheduled to expire during the Option Term, but no later than twenty-four (24) months following the date on which Landlords Notice of Availability, defined below, is forwarded to Tenant; (ii) the tenant under such lease has expressly waived any right to extend the term of such lease beyond its scheduled date of expiration; and (iii) the premises under such lease are not subject to any expansion or other option rights to which Tenants option rights hereunder are subordinate. If Landlord becomes aware that all or any portion of the Option Space is or will become Available during the Option Term, then prior to offering such space to a third party to be leased, Landlord shall forward written notice to Tenant (the Notice of Availability), designating the portion of the Option Space that is Available to be leased by Tenant (the Offered Space). Unless otherwise specified in the Notice of Availability, Tenant shall not have the right to lease less than the entire amount of the Offered Space. |
(d) | Rent Applicable to the Offered Space. Landlord shall include in its Notice of Availability the terms and conditions it would find acceptable for the leasing of the Offered Space by Tenant. Specifically, Landlord shall specify the proposed term for Tenants lease of the Option Space, the Base Rent and the Base Year that will be applicable to the Option Space (the Option Space Rent), and the date on which Landlord anticipates that the Offered Space could be available for Tenants occupancy, which date shall not be sooner than two (2) business days following Tenants receipt of the Notice of Availability. The Option Space Rent shall be determined by Landlord, and shall consist of Landlords good faith determination of prevailing market rent for the Offered Space at the time the Offered Space would become a part of the Premises, taking into consideration such factors as rental for comparable premises in the Building; the applicable base year; rental for comparable premises in existing buildings in the same geographical area as the Building (taking into consideration, but not limited to, the use, quality, age and location of the applicable building); the rentable area of the premises being leased; the length of the pertinent rental term; the quality and creditworthiness of the tenant, and such other factors as Landlord may reasonably determine are relevant. |
(e) | Exercise of the Right of First Offer. In the event that Tenant desires to lease the Offered Space, Tenant shall provide Landlord with notice of its intent to lease the Offered Space in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Landlords Notice of Availability, by providing Landlord with written notice of such intent (Tenants Notice of Intent) no later than 10 days after Tenants receipt of Landlords Notice of Availability. If Tenant does not provide its Notice of Intent to lease the Option Space within the applicable |
39
time period set forth above, then Tenant shall be deemed to have elected not to exercise the Right of First Offer as to the Offered Space, and Landlord shall, during the six (6) month period following the date on which the Notice of Availability was provided to Tenant, be entitled to market and lease the Option Space to any prospective tenant upon such terms as Landlord may deem appropriate. If, during such six (6) month period, Landlord leases the Offered Space to a third party, then such Offered Space shall be excluded from the Option Space during the term of such lease, as the same may be extended from time to time; however, if such Offered Space should again become Available to be leased during the Option Term, such Offered Space shall thereafter again be part of the Option Space. If Landlord does not lease the Offered Space to a third party during such six (6) month period, then such space shall thereafter be subject to the Right of First Offer. |
(f) | Expansion of the Premises. In the event that Tenant provides Landlord with its Notice of Intent to lease the Offered Space in the manner provided above, then, no later than thirty (30) days following Tenants receipt of Landlords Notice of Availability (or ten (10) days following Tenants receipt of the Amendment from Landlord, as provided hereinafter, whichever is later), Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease (the Amendment) to be prepared by Landlord documenting the expansion of the Premises to include the Offered Space, which shall be subject to all existing terms of the Lease except as specified in Landlords Notice of Availability; the Rent applicable to the Offered Space; and the date on which the Offered Space is to become a part of the Premises |
(g) | Right of First Offer Personal to Tenant. The parties expressly agree that the Right of First Offer granted to Tenant herein shall be personal to Tenant and any transferee not requiring Landlords consent. The Right of First Offer may only be exercised by Tenant; it may not be exercised by any assignee or subtenant of Tenant; and it may not be exercised by Tenant if Tenant is, either at the time the Option Space becomes Available or at the time the Option Space is to become a part of the Premises, negotiating with Landlord or a potential assignee or subtenant to either assign the Tenants interest under the Lease or sublet all or a portion of the Premises. |
