(c)           The term “Tenant’s Share” shall mean the proportion that the rentable square footage of the Premises bears to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Total Building Rentable Area, or the average percentage of the Total Building Rentable Area actually leased in the Building for any calendar year, if such average is greater than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Total Building Rentable Area. The average shall be determined by adding together the total leased space on the last day of each month during the calendar year in question and dividing by twelve (12). Tenant’s Share is used in this Lease to determine the portion of Operating Costs payable by Tenant, on a per square foot per annum basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Building is not fully occupied during any calendar year, appropriate adjustments shall be made to determine Operating Costs as though the Building had been fully occupied in such calendar year for the entire calendar year.

 

(d)           Prior to January 1 of each calendar year after the calendar year in which this Lease is executed (or as soon thereafter as practical), Landlord shall provide Tenant with the projected Operating Costs for such current calendar year, and Tenant shall thereafter pay Tenant’s Share of projected Operating Costs for operating the Property and Building in excess of the Initial Operating Costs. Such projected Operating Costs in excess of the Initial Operating Costs shall be payable in advance on a monthly basis by paying one-twelfth (l/12th) of such amount during each month of such respective calendar year. If Landlord has not furnished Tenant such comparison by January 1, Tenant shall continue to pay on the basis of the prior year’s estimate until the month after such comparison is given. Not later than May 1, 2007, Landlord shall provide Tenant with an

 

7



 

unaudited statement of the actual Operating Costs for 2006 and Landlord shall, no later than September 1 (or as soon thereafter as practical) after each calendar year during the Term thereafter, provide Tenant an unaudited statement of such year’s actual Operating Costs. If actual Operating Costs are greater than projected Operating Costs, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within thirty (30) days of such statement’s receipt, Tenant’s Share of the difference thereof. If such year’s projected Operating Costs are greater than the actual Operating Costs, Landlord shall credit Tenant, within thirty (30) days of such statement issuance, Tenant’s Share of the difference between projected Operating Costs and actual Operating Costs.

 

(e)           If this Lease commences at any time other than the first day of a calendar year or terminates at any time other than the last day of a calendar year, the amount of Operating Costs due from Tenant shall be proportionately adjusted based on that portion of the year that this Lease was in effect.

 

(f)            Tenant’s payments of Operating Costs shall not be deemed payments of base rental under any governmental wage and price controls or analogous governmental actions affecting the amount of Rent which Landlord may charge Tenant for the Premises.

 

(g)           Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant will be responsible for Tenant’s Share of all Taxes (as hereinafter defined), costs of all insurance relating to the Property and the Building, utilities, snow removal, and charges assessed against or attributed to the Building pursuant to any applicable declaration of protective covenants (“Uncontrollable Operating Costs”), without regard to the level of increase in any or all of the above in any year or other period of time. Tenant’s obligation to pay all other Operating Costs that are not Uncontrollable Operating Costs (herein “Controllable Operating Costs”) shall be limited to an annual increase commencing in 2007, equal to the lesser of (i) 6% of the previous year’s Controllable Operating Costs or (ii) the actual increase in Controllable Operating Costs from the previous year.

 

(h)           “Taxes” shall mean all taxes, assessments and government fees and charges (whether determined on an ad valorem basis or otherwise) relating to the Property and any other taxes and assessments attributable to the Property or its operation (and the costs of contesting any of the same), excluding, however, the following: (a) income or franchise taxes or any other taxes imposed upon or measured by Landlord’s income or profits; (b) any fines, penalties or increased interest charged due to Landlord’s failure to pay Taxes in a timely fashion and (c) taxes, assessments, and government fees and charges relating to any additions to or expansions of the Building constructed after the Commencement Date.

 

(i)            Within ninety (90) days after Tenant receives Landlord’s statement of any calendar year’s actual Operating Costs as described in subparagraph (d) above, Tenant may contest such statement by providing written notice to Landlord, provided that there does not then exist an Event of Default hereunder. If no such contest is made by written notice to Landlord within such ninety (90) day period, such Operating Expenses statement shall be binding upon Tenant in all respects. If Tenant timely contests such Operating Expenses statement, Tenant shall have the right to inspect and examine, at reasonable times during normal business hours, Landlord’s books of account and records pertaining to the Operating Expenses, all at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Prior to any such audit being performed, Tenant and its auditor shall execute a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Such audit

 

8



 

shall be conducted at the offices of the Building manager where such records are kept within thirty (30) days after the date of Tenant’s notice. Such audit may be initially conducted, at Tenant’s expense, by a qualified employee of Tenant, or an independent auditor of Tenant’s choice (whose compensation in no event shall be contingent upon the results of such audit or the amount of any refund received by Tenant). Landlord and/or Landlord’s Building manager shall cooperate with Tenant and/or Tenant’s representatives with respect to any such specific inquiries or questions and with respect to the conduct of such audit, so as to facilitate the prompt and efficient answer thereto and/or conduct of same, as applicable. Tenant shall notify Landlord of the results of such audit in writing. Landlord may have an agent or employee present during such inspection and audit. Landlord shall have the right to dispute the results of Tenant’s audit, by written notice delivered to Tenant within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s receipt of the results of such audit. Any such dispute shall be resolved by an independent certified public accountant mutually satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant (whose compensation in no event shall be contingent upon the results of such audit or the amount of any refund received by Tenant), or pursuant to the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association if Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on the identity of such accountant, with the cost of such accountant being shared by Landlord and Tenant. If the audit by Tenant shall ultimately result in a determination (whether by agreement between Landlord and Tenant or by arbitration) that Tenant has underpaid Landlord for its share of Operating Expenses, Tenant shall pay the additional amount owed to Landlord within thirty (30) days of such ultimate resolution. If the audit by Tenant shall ultimately result in a determination (whether by agreement between Landlord and Tenant or by arbitration) that Tenant has overpaid Landlord for its share of Operating Expenses, such overpayment shall be applied to the next accruing installment(s) of Monthly Rental due from Tenant, until such credit is depleted, except that if the ultimate result of any such audit of Operating Expenses for the last year of the Term shows that Tenant has overpaid Landlord for its share of Operating Expenses, Landlord shall directly reimburse Tenant such amount within thirty (30) days of such ultimate resolution. If the audit by Tenant shall ultimately result in a determination that Tenant has overpaid Landlord for its share of Operating Expenses by more than five percent (5%) of Tenant’s share of the Operating Expenses, then Landlord shall pay the cost of such audit. Tenant hereby agrees to keep the results of any such audit confidential, and to require Tenant’s auditor and its employees and each of their respective attorneys and advisors to likewise keep the results of such audit confidential. In particular, but without limitation, Tenant agrees that: (i) Tenant shall not disclose the results of any such audit to any past, current or prospective tenant of the Building; and (ii) Tenant shall require, that its auditors, attorneys and anyone associated with such parties shall not disclose the results of such audit to any past, current or prospective tenant of Landlord in the Building; provided, however, that Landlord hereby agrees that nothing in items (i) or (ii) above shall preclude Tenant from disclosing the results of such audit in any judicial or quasi-judicial proceeding, or pursuant to court order or discovery request, or to any current or prospective assignee or sub lessee of Tenant, or to any agent, representative, or employee of Landlord who or which requests the same or as required in governmental and regulatory filings.

 

4.             DELIVERY OF THE PREMISES

 

Tenant shall cause completion of the work described in Exhibit “C”, which work shall be performed within the provisions and according to all standards of said Exhibit “C”. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall timely apply for all permits and

Tenant shall conduct its business in the manner and according to the generally accepted business principles of the business or profession in which Tenant is engaged.

 

7.             TENANT’S CARE OF THE PREMISES

 

(a)           Tenant will maintain the Premises and the fixtures and appurtenances therein in a first-class condition, and will not commit or permit waste therein. Any repair work, maintenance and any alterations permitted by Landlord in the Premises (i) shall be done at Tenant’s sole cost and expense; (ii) shall be done by Landlord’s employees or agents or, with Landlord’s consent, by persons requested by Tenant; and (iii) shall first be consented to by Landlord. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense (but under the direction of Landlord and performed by Landlord’s employees or agents, or with Landlord’s consent, by persons requested by Tenant and consented to by Landlord), promptly repair any injury or damage to the Premises or Building caused by the misuse or neglect thereof by Tenant, by Tenant’s contractors, sub-contractors, customers, employees, licensees, agents, or invitees. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of any defective condition in or about the Premises known to Tenant.

 

(b)           Tenant will not, without Landlord’s prior consent, make alterations, additions or improvements (including, but not limited to, structural alterations, additions or improvements) in or about the Premises and will not do anything to or on the Premises which will increase the rate of insurance on the Building or the Property. All alterations, additions or improvements of a permanent nature made or installed by Tenant to the Premises shall become the property of

 

10



 

Landlord at the expiration or early termination of this Lease. Except for any typical office improvements or fixtures (including HVAC equipment), Landlord reserves the right to require Tenant to remove any improvements or additions made to the Premises by Tenant and to repair and restore the Premises to their condition prior to such alteration, addition or improvement, reasonable wear and tear, unrepaired casualty and condemnation excepted, unless Landlord has agreed at or prior to the time Tenant requests the right to make such alteration, addition or improvement that such item need not be removed by Tenant at the expiration or early termination of the Term.

 

(c)           No later than the last day of the Term, Tenant will remove Tenant’s personal property and repair injury done by or in connection with installation or removal of said property and surrender the Premises (together with all keys, access cards or entrance passes to the Premises and/or the Building) in as good a condition at the beginning of the Term, reasonable wear and tear, unrepaired casualty and condemnation excepted. All property of Tenant remaining in the Premises after expiration or early termination of the Term shall be deemed conclusively abandoned and may be removed by Landlord, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of removing the same, subject however, to Landlord’s right to require Tenant to remove any improvements or additions made to the Premises by Tenant pursuant to subparagraph (b) above.

 

(d)           In doing any work on the installation of Tenant’s furnishings, fixtures, or equipment in the Premises, Tenant will use only contractors or workers consented to by Landlord prior to the time such work is commenced. Landlord may condition its consent upon its receipt from such contractors or workers of acceptable (i) lien waivers; and (ii) evidence of liability and personal property insurance coverage in amounts and with insurance carriers satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall promptly remove any lien or claim of lien for material or labor claimed against the Premises or Building, or both, by such contractors or workers if such claim should arise, and Tenant hereby indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, expense or liabilities including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees, incurred by Landlord, as a result of or in any way related to such claims or liens.

 

(e)           All personal property brought into the Premises by Tenant, its employees, licensees and invitees shall be at the sole risk of Tenant, and Landlord shall not be liable for theft thereof or of money deposited therein or for any damages thereto, such theft or damage being the sole responsibility of Tenant.

(i)            Elevator service for passenger and delivery needs;

 

(ii)           During the hours from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekdays and 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Saturdays, air conditioning during summer operations and heat during winter operations at temperature levels similar to other first class office buildings in the Atlanta area, but consistent with and subject to all Federal and local energy conservation regulations. Landlord will provide Tenant with additional heating and air conditioning services so long as Tenant notifies Landlord of its desire for such services no later than 3:00 PM

 

11

(iii)          Public restrooms, including the furnishing of soap, paper towels, and toilet tissue;

 

(iv)          Either hot and cold or tempered running water for all restrooms and lavatories;

 

(v)           Janitorial service as itemized in Exhibit G, including, without limitation, sanitizing, dusting, cleaning, mopping, vacuuming, and trash removal, each Monday through Friday, and floor waxing and polishing, window washing, smudge removal and Venetian blind cleaning as appropriate;

 

(vi)          The replacement of building standard fluorescent lamps and ballasts as needed;

 

(vii)         Repairs and maintenance, for maintaining in good order at all times the exterior walls, exterior windows, exterior doors and roof of the Building, public corridors, stairs, elevators, storage rooms, restrooms, the heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, electrical and plumbing systems of the Building, and the walks, paving and landscaping surrounding the Building;

 

(viii)        General grounds care;

 

(ix)           General management, including supervision, inspections and management functions; and

 

(x)            Electricity for the Premises, Building and Property at a design load not less than six (6) watts per rentable square foot.

 

(b)           The services provided in Paragraph 8(a) are predicated on and are in anticipation of the use of the Premises as follows:

 

(i)            Services shall be provided for the Building during normal business hours as described in the Rules;

 

(ii)           HVAC design is based on sustained outside temperatures being no higher than 95 degrees Fahrenheit and no lower than 14 degrees Fahrenheit with sustained occupancy of the Premises by no more than one person per 200 square feet of floor area and heat generated by electrical lighting and fixtures not to exceed
3.0 watts per square foot;

 

(iii)          Electric power usage and consumption for the Premises shall be based on lighting of the Premises during normal business hours on a level suitable for normal office use and power for small desk-top machines and devices using no more than 110 volt, 20 amp circuits (allowable load of 15 amps). Heavier

 

12



 

use items shall not be used or installed, unless expressly permitted elsewhere herein or by consent of Landlord; and

 

(iv)          Should Tenant’s total rated electrical design load per square foot in the Premises exceed the Building standard rated electrical design load of six (6) watts per rentable square foot, on a per rentable square foot basis, as accurately determined by Landlord from time to time, for either low or high voltage electrical consumption, or if Tenant’s electrical design requires low voltage or high voltage circuits in excess of Tenant’s share of the Building standard circuits, as such share is accurately determined by Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, Landlord may (at Tenant’s expense), if reasonably possible, install within the Building one (1) additional high voltage panel and/or one (1) additional low voltage panel with associated transformer (the “Additional Electrical Equipment”) as necessary to accommodate the aforesaid requirements. If the Additional Electrical Equipment is installed because Tenant’s low or high voltage rated electrical design load exceeds the applicable Building standard rated electrical design load (on a per square foot basis) of six (6) watts per rentable square foot, then a meter may also be added by Landlord (at Tenant’s expense) to measure the electricity provided through the Additional Electrical Equipment.

 

(c)           If Tenant uses any services in an amount or for a period in excess of that provided for herein, Landlord also reserves the right to charge Tenant reimbursement for the cost of such added services. The charge for after hours heating and air conditioning shall be $30.00 for each hour outside the times set forth in Section 8(a)(ii). Landlord reserves the right to install separate metering devices to determine such excessive periods and/or amounts, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. If there is disagreement as to such additional charge, the opinion of the appropriate local utility company or an independent professional engineering firm shall prevail.

 

(d)           Except as set forth in subparagraph (f) below, Landlord shall not be liable for any damages and Tenant shall have no right of set-off or reduction in Rent as a result of the installation, use, malfunction, or interruption of use of any equipment in connection with the furnishing of services referred to herein, including, but not limited to, any interruption in services by any cause beyond the immediate control of the Landlord; provided however, Landlord shall exercise due care in furnishing adequate and uninterrupted services. Without limitation on the foregoing, under no circumstances shall Landlord incur liability for damages caused directly or indirectly by any malfunction of Tenant’s computer systems resulting from or arising out of the failure or malfunction of any electrical, air conditioning or other system serving the Building, and Tenant hereby expressly waives the right to make any such claim against Landlord.

 

(e)           There may be available in the Building a shared communications systems service (the “Shared Service”), upon terms, conditions and fees to be agreed upon by Tenant and the party providing such Shared Service. Neither Landlord nor any manager of the Building shall be liable to Tenant for damages if the furnishing of any such Shared Service is disrupted, terminated or diminished in any manner, nor shall any disruption, diminution, or cessation relieve Tenant from the performance of any of Tenant’s covenants, conditions and agreements under this Lease, nor shall any disruption, diminution or cessation constitute constructive eviction or entitle Tenant to an

 

13



 

abatement of Rent. Tenant holds Landlord and any such manager harmless from any claims Tenant may have arising out of or connected with such cessation or interruption. If Tenant elects not to use the Shared Service, and Tenant has telephone or other such equipment installed at Tenant’s own direction, such system shall not (i) cause the Building to violate any municipal safety codes or ordinances, including, but not limited to, fire safety codes; (ii) cause damage to the Building; (iii) require an amount of electrical or other services unreasonably in excess of the requirements for customary business-telephone systems; or (iv) impact upon the normal use, function and operation of the Shared Service. If Tenant elects not to use or be a part of the Shared Service, Tenant shall not use any wiring or other equipment which is a part of the Shared Service without the prior, written consent of the provider of such Shared Service. If Tenant uses any such wiring or equipment without such consent, Tenant shall be liable for, and shall pay to the provider of such services on demand, (i) the cost of such use; (ii) the cost of repairing or replacing any wiring or equipment damaged or altered by such use; and (iii) any other damages caused by such use.

 

(f)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (i) Landlord fails to provide services to Tenant as required by this Lease for a continuous period in excess of five (5) consecutive business days after receiving written notice of such failure, (ii) such failure is on account of a reason within Landlord’s reasonable control, and (iii) such failure materially interferes with Tenant’s use and enjoyment of all or a portion of the Premises then:

 

(i)            Landlord shall provide Tenant a credit against Monthly Rental next owing, in an amount equal to the Monthly Rental under this Lease (with the amount of such Monthly Rental being prorated in the event such failure does not affect Tenant’s ability to use or enjoy the entire Premises) from and after the expiration of such five (5) business day period and until such time as Landlord resumes providing such service or services to Tenant; provided, however, Tenant shall not be entitled to any such credit in the event that such failure to provide services is caused or contributed to materially by Tenant or Tenant’s employees, invitees, contractors, licensees and other visitors to the Premises or the Building; and

 

(ii)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such failure to provide services is a failure under Section 8(a)(ii), and such failure cannot be remedied within four hours of such failure, then upon Tenant’s request, Landlord shall provide temporary HVAC.

 

(g)           Landlord agrees to engage appropriate consultants from time to time to contest any Taxes determined by Landlord to be unreasonably high.

 

(h)           Throughout the Term, Landlord shall maintain the structural components of the Building and all common areas in a first class manner.

 

9.            DESTRUCTION OR DAMAGE TO PREMISES

 

(a)           If the Premises or the Building are totally destroyed (or so substantially damaged as to be untenantable in the determination of the Architect) by storm, fire, earthquake or other casualty, Landlord shall have the option to:

 

14



 

(i)            Terminate this Lease as of the date of the occurrence of the storm, earthquake, fire or other casualty by giving notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days from the date of such damage or destruction; or

 

(ii)           Commence the process of restoration of the Premises to a tenantable condition within sixty (60) days from the date of receipt by Landlord of all of the insurance proceeds paid with respect to such casualty, and proceed with due diligence to complete said restoration of the Premises. If Landlord chooses to restore the Premises, Rent shall abate with respect to the untenantable portion of the Premises from the date of such casualty until the date of Substantial Completion thereof.

 

If Landlord fails to complete such restoration within one hundred fifty (150) days of the date of the casualty, this Lease may be terminated as of the date of the casualty upon notice from either party to the other, given not more than ten (10) days following the expiration of said one hundred eighty (180) day period. If such notice is not given, this Lease shall remain in force and effect and Rent shall commence upon delivery of the Premises to Tenant in a state of Substantial Completion.

 

(b)           If the Premises are damaged but not rendered untenantable for Tenant’s business use by any event set forth in Paragraph 9(a) above, Rent shall abate in the proportion the Premises have been made untenantable. Landlord shall restore the Premises expeditiously, and upon the date of restoration, full Rent shall commence.

 

(c)           Rent shall not abate if the damage or destruction of the Premises, whether total or partial, is the result of the negligence of Tenant, its contractors, subcontractors, agents, employees, guests or invitees.

 

10.           DEFAULT BY TENANT; LANDLORD’S REMEDIES

 

(a)           The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder by Tenant:

 

(i)            The Rent or any other sum of money due of Tenant hereunder is not paid within five (5) days following the later of (i) the date that the same is due or (ii) written notice from Landlord that the same is due, provided, however, that in no event shall Landlord be obligated to provide Tenant any such written notice on more than two (2) occasions during any twelve (12) month period;

 

(ii)           Any petition is filed by or against Tenant under any section or chapter of the National or Federal Bankruptcy Act or any other applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, and, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, such petition is not dismissed within thirty (30) days after the date of such filing; if Tenant shall become insolvent or transfer property to defraud creditors; if Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or if receiver is appointed for any of Tenant’s assets;

 

15



 

(iii)          Tenant fails to bond off or otherwise remove any lien filed against the Premises or the Building by reason of Tenant’s actions, within ten (10) days after Tenant has notice of the filing of such lien; or

 

(iv)          Tenant fails to observe, perform and keep the covenants, agreements, provisions, stipulations, conditions and Rules herein contained to be observed, performed and kept by Tenant (other than the failure to pay when due any Rent or any other sum of money becoming due Landlord hereunder, which under all circumstances is governed by and subject to Paragraph 10(a)(i) herein), and persists in such failure after thirty (30) days written notice by Landlord requiring that Tenant remedy, correct, desist or comply (or if any such failure to comply on the part of Tenant would reasonably require more than thirty (30) days to rectify, unless Tenant commences rectification within the thirty (30) day notice period and thereafter promptly, effectively and continuously proceeds with the rectification of the failure to comply on the part of Tenant and, in all such events, cures such failure to comply on the part of Tenant no later than sixty (60) days after such notice).

 

(b)           Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord shall have the option to do and perform any one or more of the following:

 

(i)            Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord. If Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may, without further notice and without prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have, enter upon the Premises without the requirement of resorting to the dispossessory procedures set forth in O.C.G.A. §§ 44-7-50 et seq. and expel or remove Tenant and Tenant’s effects without being liable for any claim for trespass or damages therefor. Upon any such termination, Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for damages, due and payable monthly on the day Rent would have been payable hereunder, in an amount equal to the Rent and any other amounts which would have been owing by Tenant for the balance of the Term, had this Lease not been terminated, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Premises by Landlord, after deducting all of Landlord’s costs and expenses (including, without limitation, advertising expenses and professional fees) incurred in connection with or in any way related to the termination of this Lease, eviction of Tenant and such reletting; and/or

 

(ii)           Declare the entire amount of Rent calculated on the current rate being paid by Tenant, and other sums which in Landlord’s reasonable determination would become due and payable during the remainder of the Term (including, but not limited to, increases in Rent pursuant to Paragraph 2(b) and 3(d) herein), discounted to present value by using a reasonable discount rate selected by Landlord, to be due and payable immediately. Upon such acceleration of such amounts, Tenant agrees to pay the same at once, together with all Rent and other amounts theretofore due, at Landlord’s address as provided herein; provided however, that such payment shall not constitute a penalty or forfeiture but shall constitute liquidated damages for

 

16



 

Tenant’s failure to comply with the terms and provisions of this Lease (Landlord and Tenant agreeing that Landlord’s actual damages in such event are impossible to ascertain and that the amount set forth above is a reasonable estimate thereof). Upon making such payment, Tenant shall receive from Landlord all rents received by Landlord from other tenants renting the Premises during the Term, provided that the monies to which Tenant shall so become entitled shall in no event exceed the entire amount actually paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the preceding sentence, less all of Landlord’s costs and expenses (including, without limitation, advertising expenses and professional fees) incurred in connection with or in any way related to the reletting of the Premises. The acceptance of such payment by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of rights or remedies to Landlord for any failure of Tenant thereafter occurring to comply with any term, provision, condition or covenant of this Lease; and/or

 

(iii)          Enter the Premises as the agent of Tenant without the requirement of resorting to the dispossessory procedures set forth in O.C.G.A. §§ 44-7-50 et seq. and without being liable for any claim for trespass or damages therefor, and, in connection therewith, rekey the Premises, remove Tenant’s effects therefrom and store the same at Tenant’s expense, without being liable for any damage thereto, and relet the Premises as the agent of Tenant, without advertisement, by private negotiations, for any term Landlord deems proper, and receive the rent therefor. Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand any deficiency that may arise by reason of such reletting, but Tenant shall not be entitled to any surplus so arising. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, advertising expenses and professional fees) incurred in connection with or in any way related to the eviction of Tenant and reletting the Premises, and for the amount of any other Rent which would have been due of Tenant to Landlord hereunder if not for certain concessions granted by Landlord to Tenant. Landlord, in addition to but not in lieu of or in limitation of any other right or remedy provided to Landlord under the terms of this Lease or otherwise (but only to the extent such sum is not reimbursed to Landlord in conjunction with any other payment made by Tenant to Landlord), shall have the right to be immediately repaid by Tenant the amount of all sums expended by Landlord and not repaid by Tenant in connection with preparing or improving the Premises to Tenant’s specifications and any and all costs and expenses incurred in renovating or altering the Premises to make it suitable for reletting; and/or

 

(iv)          As agent of Tenant, do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under this Lease, including, but not limited to, entering the Premises, without being liable to prosecution or any claims for damages, in order to accomplish this purpose. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord immediately upon demand for any expenses which Landlord may incur in thus effecting compliance with this Lease on behalf of Tenant. Landlord shall not be liable for any damages

 

17



 

resulting to Tenant from such action, whether caused by the negligence of Landlord or otherwise.

 

(c)           Pursuit by Landlord of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude the pursuit of general or special damages incurred, or of any of the other remedies provided herein, at law or in equity.

 

(d)           No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s employees or agents during the Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises. Neither the mention in this Lease of any particular remedy, nor the exercise by Landlord of any particular remedy hereunder, at law or in equity, shall preclude Landlord from any other remedy Landlord might have under this Lease, at law or in equity. Any waiver of or redress for any violation of any covenant or condition contained in this Lease or any of the Rules now or hereafter adopted by Landlord, shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of an original violation. The receipt by Landlord of Rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant in this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach.

 

11.           ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

 

(a)           Tenant shall not sublet any part of the Premises, nor assign this Lease or any interest herein, nor, once any such sublet or assignment is consented to by Landlord, amend or modify the terms of such sublet or assignment, without the prior consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord may deny consent to an assignment or sublease if, by way of illustration but not limitation, (i) the financial statements of the proposed assignee or sublessee are unsatisfactory, or (ii) the proposed assignment or sublease provides for rental or other payment for such use, occupancy or utilization based, in whole or in part, on the net income or profits derived by any person or entity from the Premises leased, used, occupied or utilized.

 

(b)            Consent by Landlord to one assignment or sublease shall not destroy or waive this provision, and all later assignments and subleases shall likewise be made only upon prior consent of Landlord. If a sublease or assignment is consented to by Landlord, any sublessees or assignees shall become liable directly to Landlord for all obligations of Tenant hereunder without relieving or in any way modifying Tenant’s liability hereunder. If Tenant notifies Landlord of Tenant’s intent to sublease or assign this Lease, Landlord shall within fifteen (15) days following receipt of such notice, together with a copy of the proposed sublease or assignment and together with information regarding the proposed subtenant or assignee in detail reasonably sufficient to enable Landlord to evaluate the proposed subtenant or assignee (i) consent to such proposed subletting; or (ii) deny such consent, giving reasons for denying such consent at the time of the denial. If Landlord gives its consent to any such assignment or sublease, after deducting Tenant’s out of pocket costs, including marketing costs, leasing commissions, rent abatement and tenant improvements, fifty percent (50%) of any rent or other cost collected by Tenant from the assignee or subtenant for all or any portion of the Premises over and above the Rent payable by Tenant for such space shall be due and payable, and shall be paid, to Landlord. If the area of Premises is reduced or a sublease or assignment is made as herein provided, Tenant shall pay Landlord a charge equal to the actual costs incurred by Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment (including, but not limited to, the use and time of Landlord’s personnel), for all of the reasonably necessary legal and

 

18



 

accounting services required to accomplish such reduction of area of the Premises, assignment or subletting, as the case may be.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord’s consent shall not be required for any assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Premises by Tenant to an assignee or sublessee that is directly or indirectly in control of, controlled by or under common control with Tenant or its principals, or into which or with which Tenant merges or consolidates, or which purchases all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Tenant; provided, however, (i) in no event shall Tenant be released from its liability under this Lease, and (ii) Tenant shall provide to Landlord written notice of such assignment or subletting at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date thereof, together with a copy of the proposed agreement of assignment or sublease and together with such information regarding the assignee or sublessee in such reasonable detail to enable Landlord to determine that the proposed assignment or sublease is permitted without Landlord’s consent pursuant to this subparagraph (c).

 

12.           CONDEMNATION

 

If the Premises (or a part of such Premises such that the Premises, in the reasonable judgment of the Architect, are untenantable) are taken by eminent domain or other similar proceeding or are conveyed in lieu of such taking, this Lease shall expire on the date when title or right of possession vests, and Rent paid for any period beyond said date shall be repaid to Tenant. If there is a partial taking where this Lease is not terminated, the Rent shall be adjusted in proportion to the square feet of Premises taken, as determined by Architect. In either event, Landlord shall be entitled, and Tenant shall not have any right, to claim any award made in any condemnation proceeding, action or ruling relating to the Building or the Property; provided, however, Tenant shall be entitled to make a claim in any condemnation proceeding, action or ruling relating to the Building for Tenant’s moving expenses and the unamortized value of leasehold improvements in the Premises actually paid for by Tenant, to the extent such claim does not in any manner impact upon or reduce Landlord’s claim or award in such condemnation proceeding, action or ruling. Landlord shall have, in Landlord’s sole discretion, the option of terminating this Lease if any such condemnation, action, ruling or conveyance in lieu thereof makes continuation of Landlord’s use of the Building economically unfeasible.

 

13.           INSPECTIONS

 

Landlord, its agents or employees may enter the Premises at reasonable hours and upon reasonable notice (which notice may be by telephone) to Tenant except in the event of an emergency to (a) exhibit the Premises to prospective purchasers or tenants of the Premises or the Building; (b) inspect the Premises to see that Tenant is complying with its obligations hereunder; and (c) make repairs (i) required of Landlord under the terms hereof; (ii) to any adjoining space in the Building; or (iii) to any systems serving the Building which run through the Premises.

 

14.           SUBORDINATION

 

(a)           This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any underlying land leases or deeds to secure debt which may now or hereafter affect this Lease, the Building or the Property and also to all renewals, modifications, extensions, consolidations, and replacements of

 

19



 

such underlying land leases and deeds to secure debt. Neither the Building nor the Property nor any portion thereof is currently subject to any such land lease or deed to secure debt. In confirmation of the subordination set forth in this Paragraph 14, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, execute and deliver such further instruments desired by the holder of the deed to secure debt (a “Mortgagee”) executed after the date hereof or by any lessor (“Lessor”) under any such underlying land leases executed after the date hereof, provided that Landlord obtains a nondisturbance agreement for the benefit of Tenant from such Mortgagee or Lessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord or such Mortgagee or Lessor shall have the right to subordinate or cause to be subordinated, in whole or in part, any such underlying land leases or deeds to secure debt to this Lease (but not in respect to priority of entitlement of insurance or condemnation proceeds). If any such underlying land leases or deeds to secure debt terminate for any reason or any such deeds to secure debt are foreclosed or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure is made for any reason, Tenant shall, notwithstanding any subordination, deliver to Mortgagee within ten (10) days of written request an attornment agreement, providing that such Tenant shall continue to abide by and comply with the terms and conditions of this Lease.

 

(b)           If any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of, or in the event of exercise of the power of sale or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure under any deed to secure debt, Tenant shall at the option of the purchaser at such foreclosure or other sale, attorn to such purchaser and recognize such person as Landlord under this Lease. The institution of any suit, action or other proceeding by a Mortgagee or a sale of the Property pursuant to the powers granted to a Mortgagee under its deed to secure debt, shall not, by operation of law or otherwise, result in the cancellation or the termination of this Lease or of the obligations of Tenant hereunder.

 

(c)           If such purchaser requests and accepts such attornment, from and after such attornment, Tenant shall have the same remedies against such purchaser for the breach of an agreement contained in this Lease that Tenant might have had against Landlord if the deed to secure debt had not been terminated or foreclosed, except such purchaser shall not be (i) liable for any act or omission of the prior Landlord; (ii) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against the prior Landlord; or (iii) bound by any Rent or security deposit which Tenant might have paid in advance to the prior Landlord.

 

15.           INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS

 

(a)           Tenant shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and Landlord’s agents and employees against and from any and all claims, suits, liabilities, judgments, costs, demands, causes of action and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements) arising from (i) the use of the Premises, the Building or the Concourse project by Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees or contractors, or from any activity done, permitted or suffered by Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees or contractors in or about the Premises, the Building or the Concourse project, and (ii) any act, neglect, fault, willful misconduct or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees or contractors, or from any breach or default in the terms of this Lease by Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees or contractors that results in any cost or expense being incurred by Landlord, or (iii) any action or proceeding brought on account of any matter in items (i) or (ii). If any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord by reason of any such claim, upon notice from Landlord, Tenant shall defend the same at Tenant’s expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. As a material part of the consideration to Landlord, Tenant hereby releases Landlord

 

20



 

and Landlord’s agents and employees from responsibility for, waives its entire claim of recovery for and assumes all risk of (x) damage to property or injury to persons in or about the Premises, the Building or the Concourse project from any cause whatsoever (except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s agents or employees or by the failure of Landlord to observe any of the terms and conditions of this Lease), or (x) loss resulting from business interruption or loss of income at the Premises. The obligations of Tenant under this Paragraph 15(a) shall survive any termination of this Lease with respect to any events occurring or circumstances existing prior to such termination.

 

(b)           Landlord shall indemnify and hold harmless Tenant and Tenant’s agents and employees against and from any and all claims, suits, liabilities, judgments, costs, demands, causes of action and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees) arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s agents or employees or from the breach of this Lease by Landlord.

 

(c)           The foregoing indemnities shall not relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations under any policies required to be carried by either party pursuant to this Lease, to the extent that such policies cover the peril or occurrence that results in the claim that is subject to the foregoing indemnities.

 

16.          INSURANCE

 

(a)           Tenant shall carry during the Term (and any other period during which Tenant is in possession of the Premises, with all premiums paid prior to the due date at Tenant’s sole expense) (i) all risk coverage insurance insuring Tenant’s interest in its improvements to the Premises and any and all furniture, equipment, supplies, contents and other property owned, leased, held or possessed by Tenant and contained therein, such insurance coverage to be in an amount equal to the full insurable value of such improvements and property, as such may increase from time to time, (ii) worker’s compensation and employer’s liability insurance as required by applicable law, (iii) commercial general liability coverage for injury to or death of a person or persons and for damage to property occasioned by or arising out of any construction work being done on the Premises, or arising out of the condition, use, or occupancy of the Premises, or other portions of the Building or Property, the limits of such policy or policies to be in amounts not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage per occurrence, plus excess coverage of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage per occurrence, (iv) insurance against thefts within the Premises, the Building or any project within which the Building is located, and (v) business interruption insurance with a limit of liability representing loss of at least twelve (12) months of income. Tenant shall also maintain and provide such other required evidence to Landlord of any other form of insurance which Landlord, acting reasonably, requires from time to time in form, in amounts, and for risks against which a prudent tenant would insure. Landlord and Tenant shall each have included in all policies of insurance respectively obtained by them with respect to the Building or Premises a waiver by the insurer of all right of subrogation against the other in connection with any loss or damage insured against. All said insurance policies shall be carried with companies licensed to do business in the State of Georgia reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and rated in Best’s Insurance Guide, or any successor thereto (or, if there be none, an organization having a national reputation) as having a general policyholder rating of “A-” and a financial rating of at least “X.” All such policies shall be noncancellable except after twenty (20) days’ written notice to Landlord.

 

21



 

Each policy shall name Landlord, Landlord’s property manager and any other person designated by Landlord as additional insureds and provide that it is primary to, and not contributing with, any policy carried by Landlord, Landlord’s property manager, or other designated person covering the same loss. At Landlord’s request, duly executed certificates of such insurance shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date and at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of each respective policy term.

 

(b)           Landlord shall carry and maintain during the Term general comprehensive public liability insurance coverage with respect to the Property and property insurance coverage on an all-risk extended coverage basis with respect to the Property, in such amounts, with such insurance providers and under such terms as such insurance coverage is typically carried and maintained by institutional owners of Class A properties similar to the Property in the Atlanta, Georgia office market. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to self- insure (“Self-Insure”) all or any part of any of said required insurance coverages, in Landlord’s sole discretion, so long as such self-insuring party maintains has a net worth of not less than Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000.00) as shown on financial statements for the most recently concluded fiscal year prepared by an independent certified public accountant in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and provided to Tenant upon request. “Self-Insure” shall mean that Landlord is itself acting as though it were the insurance company providing the insurance required under the provisions hereof, and Landlord shall pay amounts due in lieu of insurance proceeds because of self-insurance which amounts shall be treated as insurance proceeds for all purposes under this Lease. In the event that Landlord elects to Self-Insure, and an event or claim occurs for which a defense and/or coverage would have been available from an insurance company, with respect to a loss or damage which Landlord would otherwise be required to insure against as provided above, Landlord shall (i) undertake the defense of any such claim, including a defense of Tenant, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, and (ii) use its own funds to pay any claim or replace any property or otherwise provide the funding which would have been available from insurance proceeds but for such election by Landlord to Self-Insure.

 

(c)           Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually waive any claim against the other and its agents for any loss or damage to any of their property located on or about the Premises, the Building or the Concourse project that is caused by or results from perils covered by property insurance carried by the respective parties, to the extent of the proceeds of such insurance actually received with respect to such loss or damage, whether or not due to the negligence of the other party or its agents. Because the foregoing waivers will preclude the assignment of any claim by way of subrogation to an insurance company or any other person, each party shall immediately notify its insurer, in writing, of the terms of these mutual waivers and have their insurance policies endorsed to prevent the invalidation of the insurance coverage because of these waivers. Nothing in this Paragraph 16(c) shall relieve a party of liability to the other for failure to carry insurance required by this Lease.

 

17.          REMEDIES CUMULATIVE

 

The rights given to Landlord and Tenant herein are in addition to any rights that may be given to Landlord or Tenant by any statute or under law.

 

22



 

18.                                   ENTIRE AGREEMENT - NO WAIVER

 

This Lease contains the entire agreement of the parties hereto and no representations, inducements, promises or agreements, oral or otherwise, between the parties not embodied herein shall be of any force and effect. The failure of either party to insist in any instance on strict performance of any covenant or condition hereof, or to exercise any option herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver of such covenant, condition or option in any other instance. This Lease cannot be changed or terminated orally, and can be modified only in writing, executed by each party hereto.

 

19.                                   HOLDING OVER

 

If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after expiration of the Term, or after any termination of this Lease by Landlord, with Landlord’s acquiescence and without any written agreement between the parties, Tenant shall be a tenant at sufferance and such tenancy shall be subject to all the provisions hereof, except that the Monthly Rental for said holdover period shall be (i) 150% of the amount of Rent due in the last month of the Term during the first three (3) months of the holdover period, and (ii) double the amount of Rent due in the last month of the Term for the remainder of the holdover period. There shall be no renewal of this Lease by operation of law. Nothing in this Paragraph shall be construed as a consent by Landlord to the possession of the Premises by Tenant after the expiration of the Term or any termination of this Lease by Landlord, or as an exclusive remedy in the event of a holdover. This Paragraph 19 shall survive the termination of this Lease, by lapse of time or otherwise. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant shall have the option to extend the Term for up to six (6) months (the “Short Term Holdover Option”) by providing Landlord with written notice of its intent to exercise the Short Term Holdover Option no later than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the otherwise effective Expiration Date. Monthly Rental during any such period shall be 110% of the amount of Rent due in the month immediately preceding the otherwise effective Expiration Date.

(a)                                  This Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant, and their respective successors, heirs, legal representatives and assigns. The term “Landlord” as used in this Lease means only the owner (or the ground lessee) for the time being of the Property and Building of which the Premises are a part, so that in the event of any sale or sales of said Property (or of any lease thereof), Landlord named herein shall be and hereby is entirely released of all covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder accruing thereafter, and it shall be deemed without further agreement that the purchaser, or the lessee, as the case may be, has assumed and agreed to carry out any and all covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder during the period such party has possession of the Property and Building. If the Property and Building are severed as to ownership by sale and/or lease, the owner of the entire Building or lessee of the entire Building that has the right to lease space in the Building to tenants shall be deemed “Landlord”. Tenant shall be bound to any such succeeding party for performance by Tenant of all the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease and agrees to execute any attornment agreement not in conflict with the terms and provisions of this Lease at the request of any such party.

 

(b)                                 The parties “Landlord” and “Tenant” and pronouns relating thereto, as used herein, shall include male, female, singular and plural, corporation, partnership or individual, as may fit the particular parties.

 

23.                                   ATTORNEY’S FEES

 

If Landlord has to engage or consult with an attorney as a result of or in connection with a failure by Tenant to pay any Rent as and when due under this Lease, then Tenant shall owe to Landlord, in addition to and not in lieu of any other amounts due hereunder, and shall pay within ten (10) days after demand for payment therefor is made, all such attorneys fees incurred by Landlord. Also, if any law suit or court action between Landlord and Tenant arises out of or under this Lease, the prevailing party in such law suit or court action shall be entitled to and shall collect from the non-prevailing party the reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs actually incurred by the prevailing party with respect to said lawsuit or court action.

 

24.                                   TIME OF ESSENCE

 

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE OF THIS LEASE.

 

24



 

25.                              NO ESTATE IN LAND

 

Tenant has been granted a usufruct only in the Premises under this Lease, and not a leasehold or other estate in land, and that Tenant’s interest hereunder is not subject to levy, execution and sale and is not assignable except with Landlord’s prior written consent. No estate shall pass out of Landlord by this Lease.

 

26.                              INTENTIONALLY DELETED

 

27.                               INTENTIONALLY DELETED

 

28.                               PARKING ARRANGEMENTS

 

Landlord shall maintain unreserved covered parking spaces for use by Tenant and Tenant’s invitees and employees, in such amount or ratio as is in compliance with the zoning for the Property, as may be modified from time to time, but in no event less than 4 parking spaces for every 1,000 occupied rentable square feet in the Premises, and Tenant (and Tenant’s guests and employees) shall only be entitled to use that amount of parking spaces (determined on a parking space per square foot leased basis). Such parking shall be available subject to the reasonable limitations and conditions from time to time imposed by Landlord, but neither Landlord nor any parking contractor or other party acting on behalf of Landlord shall charge any parking fees to Tenant or its visitors for such unreserved spaces. Said parking shall be maintained on the Property or on areas located in the vicinity of the Property. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant shall be entitled, as part of the parking ratio above, to the use of twelve (12) reserved spaces. Such reserved spaces shall be located at an area mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, and Tenant shall not be charged for the use of such twelve (12) reserved spaces.

 

29.                               RULES AND REGULATIONS

 

The Rules on Exhibit “E” are a part of this Lease. Landlord may from time to time amend, modify, delete or add additional Rules for the use, operation, safety, cleanliness and care of the Premises and the Building, provided that Landlord enforces such Rules against all tenants on a nondiscriminatory basis and provided that no such change materially affects Tenant’s ability to use and enjoy the Premises for the purposes intended by this Lease. Such new or modified Rules shall be effective upon notice to Tenant. Tenant will cause its employees and agents, or any others permitted by Tenant to occupy or enter the Premises to at all times abide by the Rules. If there is a breach of any Rules beyond any applicable notice and cure period provided in Paragraph 10(a), Landlord shall have all remedies in this Lease provided for in an Event of Default by Tenant and shall, in addition, have any remedies available at law or in equity, including but not limited to, the right to enjoin any breach of such Rules. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the nonobservance by any other tenant or person of any such Rules.

 

25



 

30.                                   INTENTIONALLY DELETED

 

31.                                   LATE PAYMENTS

 

Any payment due of Tenant hereunder not received by Landlord within five (5) days of the date when due shall be assessed a five percent (5%) charge for Landlord’s administrative and other costs in processing and pursuing the payment of such late payment, and shall be assessed an additional five percent (5%) charge for the aforesaid costs of Landlord for each month thereafter until paid in full. Acceptance by Landlord of a payment, and the cashing of a check, in an amount less than that which is currently due shall in no way affect Landlord’s rights under this Lease and in no way be an accord and satisfaction. This provision does not prevent Landlord from declaring the non-payment of Rent when due an Event of Default hereunder, subject to Paragraph 10(a)(i).

 

32.                                   ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE

 

Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days of the request by Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, any Mortgagee, prospective Mortgagee or any prospective purchaser or transferee of the Property, the Building, or both (as designated by Landlord), an Estoppel Certificate in recordable form, or in such other form as Landlord may from time to time require, evidencing whether or not (a) this Lease is in full force and effect; (b) this Lease has been amended in any way; (c) Tenant has accepted and is occupying the Premises; (d) there are any existing defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder or defenses or offsets against the enforcement of this Lease to the knowledge of Tenant (specifying the nature of such defaults, defenses or offsets, if any); (e) the date to which Rent and other amounts due hereunder, if any, have been paid; and (f) any such other information as may be reasonably requested by Landlord. Each certificate delivered pursuant to this Paragraph may be relied on by Landlord, any prospective purchaser or transferee of Landlord’s interest hereunder, or any Mortgagee or prospective Mortgagee.

 

33.                                   SEVERABILITY AND INTERPRETATION

 

(a)                                  If any clause or provision of this Lease shall be deemed illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the Term, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected by such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability, and in lieu of each clause or provision of this Lease that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there shall be added as a part of this Lease a clause or provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable clause or provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

 

(b)                                    If any provisions of this Lease require judicial interpretation, 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 the rule of construction that a document is to be construed most strictly against the party who itself or through its agent prepared the same, as all parties hereto have participated in the preparation of this Lease.

 

34.                                   MULTIPLE TENANTS

 

If more than one individual or entity comprises and constitutes Tenant, then all individuals and entities comprising Tenant are and shall be jointly and severally liable for the due

36.                                  QUIET ENJOYMENT

 

So long as Tenant is in full compliance with the terms and conditions of this Lease, Landlord shall warrant and defend Tenant in the quiet enjoyment and possession of the Premises during the Term against any and all claims made by, through or under Landlord, subject to the terms of this Lease.

In addition, Tenant shall execute affidavits, representations and the like from time to time at Landlord’s request concerning Tenant’s best knowledge and belief regarding the presence of hazardous substances or materials on the Premises.

Once each of Landlord and Tenant is satisfied that such proposed Tenant Improvement Construction Documents are acceptable, each shall notify the other, and the Tenant Improvement Construction Documents consented to by Tenant and Landlord shall constitute the final Tenant Improvement Construction Documents.

 

10.           Any approval or consent by Landlord of any items submitted by Tenant to and/or reviewed by Landlord pursuant to this Work Letter shall be deemed to be strictly limited to an acknowledgment of approval or consent by Landlord thereto and shall not imply or be deemed to imply any representation or warranty by Landlord that the design is safe or structurally sound or will comply with any legal or governmental requirements.

(c)                                  If Tenant has, as a part of any specifications for the Tenant Improvements, designated Building Standard Materials or a standard that allows for equivalent quality items and would permit the use of Building Standard Materials, Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s option and in Landlord’s sole discretion, to sell those Building Standard Materials to Tenant at the price given for such item (on a unit cost basis) by the bidder selected to perform that portion of the work which will be using the Building Standard Materials in question; provided, however, Landlord shall not charge for any materials, whether or not Building Standard Materials, which were located in the Premises on January 1, 2006 or remained after the demolition of existing improvements. Any such costs under this Section 3.01(c) shall be charged against the Allowance, to the extent available.

 

Section 3.02 Construction of Tenant Improvements.

 

Tenant will enter into a Construction Contract with Contractor to construct the Tenant Improvements, with Landlord named as a third party beneficiary thereunder.

Section 3.03 Tenant Delay

 

If there is delay in achieving Substantial Completion of Tenant’s Improvements as a result of or in connection with:

 

A.                                   Tenant’s failure to furnish any information or documents in accordance with this Work Letter;

 

B.                                     Tenant’s request for materials, finishes or installations other than Building Standard Materials, finishes or installations;

 

C.                                     Any Change Order, including any change in the Tenant Improvement Construction Documents made pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof and any failure by Tenant to respond to a “Change Order Effect Notice” within the time period required hereunder;

 

D.                                    Tenant’s failure to respond within any of the time periods specified herein;

 

E.                                      If in the performance or prosecution of Tenant’s Work, Tenant’s employees or agents interfere with or in any manner hinder Contractor from prosecuting to the fullest extent possible the Tenant Improvements work; or

 

C-5



 

F.                                      Tenant’s failure to return properly executed original counterparts of this Lease to Landlord within three (3) Working Days after receipt from Landlord;

 

then such shall be a “Tenant Delay”.

 

Section 3.04 Completion of Premises

 

A.                                   The Premises shall be Substantially Completed, as to any floor, and Substantial Completion shall have occurred, as to any floor, upon the following:

 

(i)            Tenant Improvements shall have been completed as to the floor in substantial compliance with the Construction Contract and otherwise sufficient so that Architect can execute the most recently published version of AIA form G704, titled “Certificate of Substantial Completion”; and

 

(ii)           Tenant shall have obtained a certificate of occupancy (or evidence reasonably satisfactory to Tenant and Landlord that upon completion of the Tenant’s Work, a certificate of occupancy will be issued) for the Premises in question, permitting use of the floor of the Premises in question;

 

provided, to the extent compliance with the conditions set forth above would have occurred earlier but for Tenant Delay, then compliance with such condition shall be deemed to have occurred on the date it would have occurred but for the Tenant Delay.

 

Section 3.05 Changes in Plans and Specifications

 

A.                                   If at any time after the Tenant Improvement Costs are determined, Tenant desires to make Change Orders, Tenant shall submit to Tenant’s Architect, with a copy to Architect, for pricing by Contractor working drawings and specifications for any and all such desired Change Orders. Tenant’s Architect shall respond to Tenant, within five (5) Working Days of such request by Tenant, with an estimate of the effect of such desired Change Order on Tenant Improvement Costs and the schedule of anticipated Substantial Completion (the “Change Order Effect Notice”). Tenant shall have three (3) Working Days to respond to such Change Order Effect Notice, with the authorization required hereunder, although Tenant may, within said three (3) Working Day period, request more time to finally respond to the Change Order Effect Notice. A failure by Tenant to respond to any such Change Order Effect Notice shall be denial of consent, and, upon denial, Contractor shall proceed with its work in accordance with the Tenant Improvement Construction Documents. Once the cost and the schedule change, if any, for such Change Order has been approved by Tenant, all references in this Work Agreement to the “Tenant Improvement Construction Documents” shall be to the Tenant Improvement Construction Documents, as changed pursuant to this Section 3.05, and all references to “Tenant Improvement Costs” shall include the net aggregate approved cost for the Change Orders determined in this Section 3.05 (after taking into account any savings affected by such Change Order), except that there may be a fee charged by the Tenant Improvement Contractor for any Change Order which reduces Tenant Improvement Costs.

 

B.                                     Once the Change Order, the costs therefor and the schedule change associated therewith have been approved and a form evidencing such approval executed by Tenant is delivered to Landlord, Tenant shall have given full authorization to cause Contractor to proceed with the work of

constructing the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the Tenant Improvement Construction Documents as so modified; provided that any changes required by Tenant which constitute a material deviation from the previously approved Tenant Improvement Construction Documents shall be effective only after the approval of Landlord, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such change would result in a material delay in the completion of the work being done by Contractor.

 

Section 3.06 General Provisions Applicable to Tenant’s Work

 

1.                                       Tenant will require a high grade, first-class operation to be conducted in the Premises.

SPECIAL STIPULATIONS

 

Special Stipulations to Office Lease Agreement, dated February 7, 2006, by and between 485 PROPERTIES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as “Landlord,” and FIRST HORIZON PHARMACEUTICAL CORPORATION, a Delaware, corporation as “Tenant.” In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of any of the following Special Stipulations and the terms and conditions of the main text of this Lease or of any of the other Exhibits to this Lease, the terms and conditions of these Special Stipulations shall control. In addition to any other terms whose definitions are fixed and defined by these Special Stipulations, the terms used herein with the initial letter capitalized shall have the same meaning ascribed to them as set forth in the main text of this Lease or any of the other Exhibits. No inference or implication shall result from or interpretation be based upon the deletion or omission of words or material from the form on which this Lease appears or from a draft of this Lease, the words or material having been deleted or omitted being as though they were never in such form or draft.

 

1.                                      Renewal Option. Tenant shall have the right to renew the Term for two (2) additional periods of five (5) years each (the “Renewal Term”), by giving Landlord prior written notice no more than twelve (12) months and no less than nine (9) months prior to the otherwise effective Expiration Date, that Tenant intends to exercise either of such renewal rights, subject to the following conditions:

 

(a)                                  Tenant shall be in possession of the Premises and there shall not be an Event of Default by Tenant under any of the terms or provisions of this Lease at the time such notice is given or at the time of the commencement of the Renewal Term.

 

(b)                                 Tenant shall occupy the Premises during the Renewal Term under the same terms and conditions as specified in this Lease, except, for the first Renewal Term (x) Tenant shall be entitled to receive an Allowance of Five Dollars ($5.00) per rentable square feet in the Premises and (y) the Monthly Rental shall be Twenty Seven Dollars and Fifty Cents ($27.50) with 2.5% escalations every twelve (12) months and for the second Renewal Term (i) Tenant shall be entitled to receive an Allowance and other market concessions then offered by Landlord to similarly situated tenants, (ii) the Monthly Rental for any Renewal Term shall be the then Market Rate, but not less than the Monthly Rental for the Premises in effect immediately prior to the commencement of such Renewal Term. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to enter into more than two (2) Renewal Terms.

 

(c)                                  As used herein, the term “Market Rate” shall be determined as described in subparagraph (d) below as the amount of base annual rent per square foot then being charged in comparable first-class office buildings located in the Central Perimeter area of Atlanta, Georgia for space comparable to the Premises and taking into consideration all other relevant factors establishing similarity or dissimilarity between the comparable lease and the leasing of the Premises to Tenant for the Renewal Term, including without limitation, escalations (including type, base year and stop), concessions, length of term, size and location of the Premises, building standard work letter and/or tenant improvement allowances, amenities

 

F-1



 

offered, location of building, the cost and provision of parking spaces, and other generally applicable concessions, allowances, terms and conditions of tenancy. In determining the Market Rate, the greatest weight shall be accorded to leases in the Building for comparable space entered into in the twelve (12) months preceding the date on which the Market Rate is determined.

 

(d)                                 Within thirty (30) days after Landlord receives the notice of Tenant’s exercise of the renewal option with respect to any applicable Renewal Term, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the proposed Market Rate. If Tenant rejects in writing the Market Rate proposed by Landlord (and Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the same if Tenant does not object thereto in a written notice to Landlord given within five (5) business days following Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s proposed Market Rate), Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith for a period of fifteen (15) days to reach a mutual agreement on the Market Rate. If the parties are unable to come to an agreement within such period, Tenant shall have the option, exercisable by written notice delivered to Landlord within five (5) days after the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period, to elect to arbitrate such rate. Tenant shall have the option to specify in such notice its selection of a real estate appraiser, who shall act on Tenant’s behalf in determining the Market Rate or elect to allow the then-current Term of this Lease to expire on this Lease expiration date. Within ten (10) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s selection of a real estate appraiser, Landlord, by written notice to Tenant shall designate a real estate appraiser, who shall act on Landlord’s behalf in the determination of the Market Rate. Within fifteen (15) days of the selection of Landlord’s appraiser, the two appraisers shall render a joint written determination of the Market Rate. If the two appraisers are unable to agree upon a joint written determination within said fifteen (15) day period, the two appraisers shall select a third appraiser meeting the qualifications stated below. Each of the parties shall bear one-half (1/2) of the cost of the appointment of the third appraiser and of the third appraiser’s fee. If the three (3) appraisers are unable to agree upon the Market Rate within fifteen (15) days following the appointment of the third appraiser, then each appraiser shall separately determine the Market Rate, they shall average the two (2) closest figures, and within three (3) days after the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period, the appointed third appraiser shall notify Landlord and Tenant of such averaged determination of the Market Rate, which averaged determination shall be binding upon both Landlord and Tenant. In the event that one of the three appraised Market Rates is equidistant between the highest and the lowest, then notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, there shall be no averaging, and the equidistant Market Rate shall be the final arbitrated rate. In the event that the appraisal process has not been completed prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term, then upon commencement of the Renewal Term, and until the appraisal process is completed (the “Interim Period”), Tenant shall pay Landlord monthly Rent equal to the Rent for the immediately preceding Lease year, until the increase in the Rent is determined by such process as provided herein; provided, however, that such payments made during the Interim Period shall be subject to adjustment based upon the results of such process. If, as a result of such appraisal process, it is determined that Tenant has underpaid Rent during the Interim Period, then such underpaid Rent shall be due from Tenant to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after expiration of the Interim Period. If, as a result of such appraisal process, it is determined that Tenant has overpaid Rent during the Interim Period, then such overpaid Rent shall be credited to Tenant’s next payment(s) of Rent falling due under this Lease. All appraisers selected in accordance with this subparagraph shall have at least ten (10) years prior experience in the Central Perimeter area of metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia commercial leasing market and shall be

 

F-2



 

members of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers or similar professional organization. If either Landlord or Tenant fails or refuses to select an appraiser, the other appraiser shall alone determine the Market Rate. Landlord and Tenant agree that they shall be bound by the determination of Market Rate pursuant to this subparagraph for the Renewal Term. Landlord shall bear the fee and expenses of its appraiser and Tenant shall bear the fee and expenses of its appraiser.

 

(e)                                  In the event Tenant fails timely to notify Landlord in the manner herein specified, Tenant shall be conclusively deemed to have waived its right to enter into any Renewal Term.

 

(f)                                    This renewal right shall be subject to review and approval by Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, of Tenant’s credit and financial condition at the time of such renewal.

 

2.                                      Right of First Offer. Subject to the rights of existing tenants which occupied space on the 16th floor as of January 1, 2006, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a continuous right of first offer to lease available space on the sixteenth (16th) floor of the Building (the “ROFO Space”), which right shall be exercised by Tenant or its parent, subsidiary, or affiliate, at either (i) by written notice given to Landlord upon Tenant’s decision to lease such ROFO Space or (ii) by written notice given to Landlord within ten (10) business days after Landlord provides written notice to Tenant that Landlord is negotiating to lease the ROFO Space to another occupant (Tenant’s failure to provide such notice by the expiration of such ten (10) business day period being deemed Tenant’s waiver of any right to lease the ROFO Space), subject to the following conditions:

 

(a)                                  Tenant, or its parent, subsidiary, or affiliate, shall be in possession of the Premises and there shall not be an Event of Default by Tenant under any of the terms or provisions of this Lease at the time Landlord provides such notice to Tenant.

 

(b)                                 Tenant, or its parent, subsidiary, or affiliate, shall occupy the Premises (including but not limited to the ROFO Space) under the same terms and conditions as specified in this Lease, including the Allowance and Design Allowance, except that if Tenant exercises the right of first offer after the eighteenth (18th) month of the Term, then the rental rate, allowance and concessions for the ROFO Space will be the Market Rate, which shall be determined as described in Sections l(c) and l(d) of Exhibit F of this Lease.

 

(c)                                  The term of this Lease for ROFO Space shall be conterminous with the Term for the remainder of the Premises, provided however, that if less than thirty-six (36) months are remaining in the Term for the remainder of the Premises, then the Term with respect to the entire Premises (including the ROFO space) shall be extended to no less than thirty-six (36) months from the date Tenant occupies the ROFO Space.

 

3.                                      Expansion Option. In addition to Tenant’s rights under Paragraph 2 above, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant an exclusive right to lease up to approximately 25,000 square feet of space on the Sixteenth (16th) floor of the Building, as shown on Exhibit “A-l” (the “Expansion Space”), subject to the following conditions:

(c)                                  Tenant, or its parent, subsidiary, or affiliate, shall occupy the Expansion Space under the same terms and provisions of this Lease, except that Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent with respect to the Expansion Space shall commence on the earliest to occur of (i) five (5) months after the date the Expansion Space is Substantially Complete or the date the Expansion Space would have been Substantially Complete in the absence of Tenant Delay, (ii) four (4) months after the date Tenant occupies the Expansion Space or any portion thereof for the purpose of conducting business therefrom; or (iii) the twenty second (22nd) month following the Commencement Date.

 

4.                                      Termination Option. Tenant, or its parent, subsidiary, or affiliate, shall have the right to terminate this Lease effective as of any date on or after the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Commencement Date, subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

(a)                                  In order for Tenant to exercise such termination right there shall not be an Event of Default by Tenant under any of the terms or provisions of this Lease at the time such notice is given or upon the effective date of termination.

 

(b)                                 In order for Tenant to exercise such termination right, Tenant must provide written notice of such exercise to Landlord no later than nine (9) months prior to the effective date of termination.

 

(c)                                  One (1) month prior to the effective date of termination of this Lease pursuant to this Special Stipulation Paragraph 4, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the sum of the unamortized portion of the Allowance, all other concessions, fees and allowances (including, without limitation, the Additional Allowance and the Design Allowance) and any leasing commissions paid by Landlord with respect to this Lease, calculated using an eight (8) year amortization schedule.

 

(d)                                 Tenant acknowledges that Landlord would not agree to grant Tenant this termination right unless Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the applicable amount set forth in paragraph (c) above and that such amount represents freely bargained for consideration for such termination. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the payment of such applicable amount is intended to compensate Landlord for lost rentals, the unamortized balance of free rent, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, any other concessions granted to Tenant and other losses incurred by Landlord on account of any such termination. In no event, however, shall Landlord be obligated to prove the actual amount of such lost rentals, unamortized balance or other losses.

 

F-4



 

(e)                                  On or prior to the effective date of termination, Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in accordance with the provisions of this Lease.
