(a)
Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from
Landlord the Premises for the Term. During the Term, Tenant shall have the
right to use the Common Areas in common with others and in accordance with the
Lease and the Rules and Regulations.
(b)
Intentionally Deleted.
(c)
In the event this Lease pertains to Premises in which building
interior finish is to be constructed by Landlord (the "Leasehold Improvements"),
the Commencement Date shall be the date upon which the Leasehold
Improvements have been Substantially Completed (as defined in
Paragraph
30) in accordance with the Building Standards for Alterations ("Building
Standards for Alterations") described on
Exhibit C attached hereto
and made a part hereof and the work agreement (the "Work Agreement")
attached hereto as
Exhibit D and made a part hereof. If a Tenant
Improvement Allowance is set forth in
Paragraph 1 above, then Tenant
shall be responsible for all hard and soft costs incurred in connection with the
design and construction of the Leasehold Improvements which are in excess of the
Tenant Improvement Allowance. If Landlord shall be delayed in such substantial
completion as a result of: (i) Tenant's failure to agree to plans,
specifications, and cost estimates within five (5) Business Days; (ii) Tenant's
request for materials, finishes or installations other than Landlord's standard;
(iii) Tenant's changes in plans and specifications; (iv) the performance or
completion by a party employed by Tenant; or (v) the failure by Tenant to make
payment for the cost of the Leasehold Improvements in excess of the Tenant
Improvement Allowance, as set forth above, the
2
Commencement Date and the payment of Rent hereunder shall be accelerated by the
number of days of such delay, and provided further that if Landlord cannot
substantially complete the Premises as a result of any of events (i) through (v)
above, Landlord may at its election complete so much of Leasehold Improvements
as may be practical under the circumstances and, by written notice to Tenant,
establish the Commencement Date as the date of such
partial completion, subject to any applicable accelerations due to delays
resulting from events (i) through (v) above. The parties recoqnize that a
Tenant Delay may be aggravated or extended by a strike, materials or labor
shortage, or loss of time due to construction scheduling changes occasioned by
such Tenant Delay or other unavoidable delays, any or all of which would not
have adversely affected the timely completion of Landlord's Work in the absence
of such Tenant Delay, and agree that the duration of Tenant Delay should include
all delays resulting from such other causes, notwithstanding that as a result
thereof, the Tenant Delay in question may substantially exceed, in duration,
the length of time during which the act or omission of Tenant or, its agents,
employees or contractors, causing such Tenant's Delay may have occurred or
continued. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a punch list within ten (10)
days of the Substantial Completion Date, and Landlord shall proceed to complete
these items within forty-five (45) days of the delivery of the punchlist. The
taking of possession by Tenant shall be deemed conclusively to establish that
the Leasehold Improvements have been completed in accordance with this Lease and
that the Premises are in good and satisfactory condition.
(d)
If this Lease is executed before the Premises become vacant or
otherwise available and ready for occupancy, and Landlord cannot acquire
possession of the Premises prior to the Commencement Date, Landlord shall not be
deemed to be in default hereunder, and Tenant agrees to accept possession of the
Premises at such time as Landlord is able to tender the same, which date shall
be deemed the Commencement Date; and Landlord hereby waives payment of Rent
covering any period prior to the tendering of possession to Tenant
hereunder.
(e)
Landlord may submit to Tenant a written agreement, substantially in
the form annexed as
Exhibit E, confirming the date fixed by Landlord, in
accordance with the provisions of this Lease, as the Commencement Date and the
Expiration Date, and Tenant shall execute such agreement and return it to
Landlord within fifteen (15) calendar days thereafter. Any failure of the
parties to execute such written agreement shall not affect the validity of the
Commencement Date or the Expiration Date as fixed and determined by Landlord.
In the event of any dispute as to substantial completion of work performed or
required to be performed by Landlord, the issuance of a temporary or permanent
Certificate of Occupancy shall control.
3. BASE RENT; ADDITIONAL
RENT.
(a)
Except as specifically provided below, Tenant shall pay to North
Atlanta Realty Acquisition Company, Inc., Collection Account, c/o Insignia/ESG,
Inc., P. O. Box 521254, Atlanta, Georgia 30353-1254, without notice, demand,
offset or deduction, in lawful money of the United States of America, at
Landlord's address for payments as set forth in
Paragraph 25 hereof, or
at such other place as Landlord shall designate in writing from time to time:
(i) the Base Rent, in equal monthly installments in advance on the first day of
each calendar month during the Term; and (ii) the additional rent consisting of
those sums of money due and payable, if any, by Tenant under
Paragraph
3(b) and elsewhere under this Lease ("Additional Rent"). If either the
Commencement Date or the Expiration Date falls on a date other than the first
or last day of a calendar month, the Rent shall be prorated on
3
a per diem basis based upon the actual number of days leased in such month.
(b)
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, at the same time
as the monthly installment of Base Rent is paid, an amount equal to one-twelfth
(1/12th) of Landlord's estimate (as determined by Landlord in its sole
discretion) of Tenant's Share of any projected increase in Operating Expenses
for the particular calendar year in excess of the Operating Expense Base (the
"Estimated Escalation Increase"). If, for any reason, Landlord has not provided
Tenant with Estimated Escalation Increase Statement ("Estimated Escalation
Increase Statement") on or before the first day of any year during the Term,
then, (i) until the first day of the calendar month following the month in
which Tenant is given the Estimated Escalation Increase Statement, Tenant shall
continue to pay to Landlord on the first day of each calendar month the sum,
if any, payable by Tenant under this Paragraph for the month of December of the
preceding year. Within nine (9) months after January 1 of each year during the
Term, or as soon thereafter as is practicable, Landlord shall furnish Tenant
with a statement of the actual Operating Expenses for the preceding year and the
actual amount of Tenant's Share of any increase in Operating Expenses in excess
of the Operating Expense Base ("Revised Escalation Statement"). Thereafter,
Landlord shall be entitled, if circumstances warrant, to issue revised,
corrected or supplemental statements at any time and from time to time following
the issuance of the initial Estimated Escalation Increase Statement. Within
ten (10) days after Landlord's delivery of such Revised Escalation Statement,
Tenant shall make a lump sum payment to Landlord in the amount, if any, by which
Tenant's Share of the increase in the Operating Expenses for the preceding
calendar year in excess of the Operating Expense Base, as shown on such Revised
Escalation Statement, exceeds the aggregate of the monthly installments of
Tenant's payments of the Estimated Escalation Increase paid during such
preceding year. If Tenant's Share of the actual increase in Operating Expenses,
as shown on such Revised Escalation Statement, is less than the aggregate of
the monthly installments of the Estimated Escalation Increase actually paid by
Tenant during such preceding year, then Landlord shall apply such amount to the
next accruing installments of Additional Rent due from Tenant under this
Paragraph 3 until fully credited to Tenant. Landlord's rendering or
failure to render any Revised Escalation Statement with respect to any calendar
year shall not prejudice Landlord's right thereafter to render a Revised
Escalation Statement. Any Revised Escalation Statement shall be conclusively
binding upon Tenant unless Tenant shall send written notice to Landlord
objecting to and specifying, to the extent reasonably practicable, the respects
in which the Revised Escalation Statement is disputed within thirty (30) days
after such Revised Escalation Statement is sent in the manner described in
Subparagraph 3(i) below. Pending the resolution of any dispute
concerning a Revised Escalation Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
amounts shown on the Revised Escalation Statement when due.
(c)
For the purposes of this Lease, the term "Operating Expenses" shall
mean all expenses and disbursements of every kind (subject to the limitations
set forth below) which Landlord incurs, pays or becomes obligated to pay in
connection with the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Building and
the Real Property, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied, including but not limited to the following: (i)
wages and salaries of all employees engaged in the operation, repair,
replacement, maintenance and security of the Building, including taxes,
insurance, bonuses, pension and benefits relating thereto; (ii) Social Security,
unemployment and other payroll taxes, the cost of providing disability and
worker's compensation coverage imposed by any requirement, union contract or
otherwise of such employees; (iii) all supplies and materials whether purchased
or rented, used in the operation,
4
maintenance, repair, replacement (as specifically provided herein) and
security of the Building; (iv) all expenditures, whether by purchase or lease,
made for the Building or Real Property for the intended purpose of (A) making
the Building or Real Property more energy efficient, (B) reducing Operating
Expenses, (C) enhancing the life safety systems of the tenants, (D) improving
telecommunications made available to all tenants in the Building on an equitable
basis as determined by Landlord in its sole reasonable discretion (provided that
such expense does not increase the Operating Expenses for the Building by more
than $0.10 per rentable square feet per year and further provided that Landlord
will poll tenants in the Building regarding a video-conferencing center before
committing to build one, or (E) intentionally deleted, or (F) complying with all
applicable laws, rules ordinances and codes as may be hereafter promulgated or
implemented by any governmental authority, the total cost of which is not
generally includable in Operating Expenses for the operating year in which
they were made shall nevertheless be included in such Operating Expenses for
the operating year in which they were made and in Operating Expenses for each
succeeding operating year, and such annual expense shall be determined by
dividing the original capital expenditure, plus an interest factor computed at
the Applicable Rate (as defined below) in effect at the time of Landlord's
having made the expenditure, by the number of years of useful life of the
expenditure (the useful life being reasonably determined by Landlord in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices in
effect at the time of such expenditure); (v) all gas, oil, steam, electricity,
water, sewer rental, HVAC and other utilities, other than the cost of utilities
directly reimbursed to Landlord (i.e., through submeters or comparable devices)
by the Building's tenants; (vi) all insurance costs (including deductibles)
applicable to the Real Property and Landlord's personal property used in
connection therewith, including but not limited to casualty, liability, workers'
compensation and rent insurance; (vii) all taxes and assessments and
governmental charges whether federal, state, county or municipal, and whether
they be by taxing or management districts or authorities presently taxing or by
others, subsequently created or otherwise, and any other taxes and assessments
attributable to the Building, equipment and facilities, Land and Common Areas
of the Real Property (or their operation), excluding, however, federal and state
taxes on income (collectively, "Taxes"), and all expenses, including fees and
disbursements incurred by Landlord in contesting the validity or amount of
Taxes or in obtaining a refund of Taxes shall be considered as part of the
Taxes for the calendar year (and if the present method of taxation changes so
that in lieu of the whole or any part of any Taxes levied on the Real Property
or Building, there is levied on Landlord a capital tax directly on the rents
received or a franchise tax, assessment, or charge based, in whole or in part,
upon such rents for the Building, then all such taxes, assessments or charges
or the part thereof so based, shall be deemed to be included within the term
"Taxes" for the purposes hereof); (viii) the cost of security, repairs,
replacements and general maintenance (including service or maintenance
contracts with independent contractors) of the interior and exterior of the
Building and the Real Property (including, but not limited to, the roof, the
foundation and the exterior walls, light bulbs and glass breakage,
redecorating, repainting, recarpeting and other such work of any Common Areas,
heating, ventilation and air conditioning, plumbing and electrical equipment
and maintenance, trash and rubbish removal, security services, concierge
service, janitorial service, grounds maintenance, alarm services, window
cleaning, promotional and seasonal expenses, telephones and stationery,
parking areas and landscaping), whether performed by Landlord or pursuant to
service or maintenance contracts with independent contractors; (ix) rent and
escalations payable under any ground lease pertaining to the Land; (x)
depreciation of hand tools and other movable equipment owned by Landlord and
used in the Building; (xi) management
5
fees; (xii) sales, use and other similar taxes; (xii) legal, accounting and
other professional fees and expenses; and (xiv) anything which could be
classified as an Operating Expense under generally accepted accounting
principles, consistently applied, but not specified or expressly set forth
hereunder. The "Applicable Rate" shall mean the lesser of (a) three percentage
points over the then current "Base Rate" announced by Citibank, N.A., or its
successor (or such other term as may be used by Citibank, N.A. or its successor
from time to time for the rate presently referred to as its "Base Rate"), and
(b) the maximum rate permitted by law. If occupancy during the Operating Expense
Base set forth in
Subparagraph 1(m) or any subsequent Operating Expense
year ("Subsequent Term") is less than ninety-five percent (95%), then
Operating Expenses for that Base or Subsequent Term shall be "grossed
up"
to the amount of Operating Expenses that, using reasonable projections, would
normally be expected to be incurred during the Base or Subsequent Year, as
determined under generally accepted accounting principles.
(d)
There shall be specifically excluded from the definition of the term
Operating Expenses the following expenses: (1) repairs or replacements incurred
by reason of fire or other casualty or condemnation to the extent Landlord is
compensated by the proceeds of insurance or by Tenant or other third parties;
(2) capital improvements made to the Building, other than improvements described
in
Subparagraph 3(c)(iv) above and except for items which, though capital
for accounting purposes, are properly considered maintenance and repair items,
such as painting of Common Areas, replacement of carpet in lobbies, parking lot
paving, light poles and fixtures, and the like; (3) costs incurred in performing
work or furnishing services or utilities for any tenant, whether at such
tenant's or Landlord's expense, to the extent that such work or service is in
excess of any work or service or utilities that Landlord is obligated to furnish
to Tenant at Landlord's expense; (4) refinancing costs, mortgage interest and
amortization payments; (5) leasing commissions, rental concessions and lease
buy-outs; (6) any expense for which Landlord is entitled to be reimbursed by any
tenant as an additional charge in excess of Base Rent and Additional Rent; (7)
amortization and depreciation, except as otherwise specifically provided in
Subparagraph 3(c)(iv) above and in this Subparagraph; (8) overhead and
profit increments paid to affiliates of Landlord for services to the extent
that such costs exceed the costs of such services were they not rendered by
an affiliate; (9) professional fees not allocated to the operation or management
of the Land or Building and professional fees allocable to disputes with, or
preparation of leases for, tenants and prospective tenants; (10) advertising
and promotional expenses with respect to the Property; (11) Landlord's income,
franchise, estate or inheritance taxes; (12) allowances, concessions and other
costs and expenses incurred in completing, fixturing, furnishing, renovating or
otherwise improving, decorating or redecorating space for tenants (including
Tenant), prospective tenants or other occupants and prospective occupants of the
Building, or vacant, leasable space in the Building; (13) costs incurred in
connection with the sales, mortgaging, selling or change of ownership of the
Building, including brokerage commissions, consultants', attorneys' and
accountants' fees, closing costs, title insurance premiums, transfer taxes and
interest charges; (14) costs, fines, interest, penalties, legal fees or costs
of litigation incurred due to the late payment of taxes, utility bills and other
costs incurred by Landlord's failure to make such payments when due; (15)
Landlord's general corporate overhead and general and administrative expenses;
(16) moving expense costs of tenants of the Building to the extent not provided
by Landlord to Tenant or generally to other initial tenants of the Building;
(17) rental for any space in the Building set aside for storage facilities or
exercise facilities; (18) political or charitable contributions; or (19)
6
reserves for maintenance, repairs and replacements, except to the extent
actually utilized for such purposes.
(e)
Only Landlord shall be eligible to institute any proceedings to
reduce Taxes. If a refund of Taxes is actually received by Landlord, Landlord
shall send Tenant a Revised Escalation Statement adjusting the Taxes for such
calendar year, taking into account Landlord's expenses and setting forth
Tenant's Share of such refund, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive such
amount by way of a credit against the Additional Rent; provided, however, that
Tenant's Share of such refund shall be limited to the amount of Tenant's Share
of the tax payment previously paid to Landlord and attributable to the tax year
to which the refund applies.
(f)
Simultaneously with the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the third monthly installment of the Base Rent. Such sum shall be
applied by Landlord to the first installment of Base Rent. In the event Tenant
fails to take possession of the Premises in accordance with all of the terms
hereof, the first installment of the Base Rent shall be retained by Landlord
for application in reduction, but not in satisfaction, of damages suffered by
Landlord as a result of such breach by Tenant.
(g)
In the event Tenant shall fail to pay by the first (1st) day of the
month when due any Rent or any other charges, fees, costs or expenses which
Tenant is obligated or liable to pay to, refund to or reimburse Landlord for,
Tenant shall be obligated to pay interest at the rate of one and one-half
percent (1½%) per month (or any portion of a month) during which such
Rent or
other obligation remains outstanding together with a late charge, which shall
constitute liquidated damages, equal to five percent (5%) of the then
outstanding Rent or other obligation. Such interest and late charge shall be
deemed Additional Rent and shall become immediately due and payable along with
the Base Rent and other Additional Rent.
(h)
The obligations contained in this
Paragraph 3 shall survive
the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Lease.
(i)
Any Landlord's Revised Escalation Statement sent to Tenant shall be
conclusively binding upon Tenant unless, within thirty (30) days after such
Landlord's Revised Escalation Statement is sent, Tenant shall send a written
notice to Landlord objecting to such Landlord's Revised Escalation Statement
(the "Objection Notice") and specifying, to the extent reasonably practicable,
the respects in which such Landlord's Revised Escalation Statement is disputed.
Tenant shall have the right to dispute only those items shown on the Revised
Escalation Statement delivered to Tenant for the Operating Expense year to which
such Revised Escalation Statement pertains. If Tenant shall send an Objection
Notice with respect to a Landlord's Revised Escalation Statement, Tenant may,
at its own expense, select an independent certified public accountant which is
not being compensated by Tenant, in whole or in part, on a contingency basis
(an "Approved Examiner"), provided that such Approved Examiner is not and has
not during the Term been affiliated with, a shareholder in, an officer,
director, partner, or employee of, any Manager during the Term or the Manager
named in this Lease, and such Approved Examiner may examine Landlord's books
and records relating solely to disputed aspects of the Operating Expenses to
determine the accuracy of Landlord's Revised Escalation Statement. Tenant
recognizes the confidential nature of Landlord's books and records and agrees
that information obtained by it or an Approved Examiner during any examination
(including any compromise, settlement or adjustment relating to the results of
such examination) shall be maintained in strict confidence by Tenant and such
Approved Examiner, except that such information may be disclosed in relevant
7
litigation, pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction or in
connection with an assignment or sublease by Tenant. As a condition precedent
to Tenant's exercise of its right to examine Landlord's books and records,
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a confidentiality agreement, satisfactory to
Landlord, from the Approved Examiner to the same effect as Tenant's agreement
contained in the preceding sentence. The Approved Examiner shall complete its
examination within sixty (60) days after the Objection Notice is given. If,
after such examination, such Approved Examiner shall dispute such Landlord's
Revised Escalation Statement, either party may refer the decision of the issues
raised to a reputable independent firm of certified public accountants,
selected by Landlord from the following firms: Ernst & Young,
PriceWaterhouseCoopers Deloitte Touche and Arthur Andersen (provided that the
firm selected does not currently represent Landlord or Tenant), and the decision
of such accountants shall be conclusively binding upon the parties. The fees
and expenses involved in resolving such dispute shall be borne by the
unsuccessful party (and if both parties are partially unsuccessful, the
accountants shall apportion the fees and expenses between the parties based
upon the degree of success of each party). If the Approved Examiner or
certified public accountants determine that there is a variance of more than
three (3%) percent between the correct charge for the disputed item(s) set
forth in the Objection Notice over the amount set forth in the Revised
Escalation Statement, then Landlord shall correct the Revised Escalation
Statement and pay the out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord and Tenant
pursuant to this
Subparagraph 3(i). If the variance is less than three
(3%) percent, Landlord shall correct the Revised Escalation Statement and
provide Tenant with credit for the overcharged amount against the next monthly
installment of Rent (unless the Lease is due to expire, in which case Landlord
will provide Tenant with a refund), and Tenant shall pay the out-of-pocket
costs incurred by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to this
Subparagraph
3(i).
4. USE.
(a)
Tenant shall occupy, operate and use the Premises only for the
Permitted Uses during Business Hours (as hereinafter defined) of the Building.
Tenant shall comply with all governmental laws, ordinances and regulations
(including, but not limited to, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990),
now or hereinafter enacted ("Laws") applicable to Tenant's use or manner of use
of the Premises, and shall promptly comply with all governmental orders and
directives at Tenant's sole expense. Tenant shall not permit any objectionable
or unpleasant odors, smoke, dust, gas, noise or vibrations to emanate from the
Premises or take any other action which would constitute a nuisance or would
disturb or endanger any other tenants of the Building or unreasonably interfere
with their use of their respective premises or the Common Areas. Tenant shall
not receive, store or otherwise handle any product, material or merchandise
which is explosive or highly flammable.
(b)
Except for the Permitted Materials, Tenant shall not use, handle,
store, discharge or fabricate any Hazardous Substances (as hereinafter defined)
in the Premises. The term "Hazardous Substances," as used in this Lease shall
mean pollutants, contaminants, toxic or hazardous wastes, or any other
substances, the removal of which is required or the use of which is restricted,
prohibited or penalized by any "Environmental Law," which term shall mean any
federal, state or local law, ordinance, statute, rule, regulation or directive
promulgated by any governmental authority relating to pollution or protection
of the environment. Tenant hereby agrees that: (a) no activity will be
conducted on the Premises that will produce any Hazardous Substances; (b) the
Premises will not be used in any manner for the
8
storage of any Hazardous Substances except for the temporary storage of such
materials as are customarily used in general business offices in office
buildings of this type (the "Permitted Materials") provided such Permitted
Materials are properly stored in a manner and location meeting all Environmental
Laws and approved in advance in writing by Landlord; (c) Tenant will not permit
any Hazardous Substances to be brought onto the Premises, except for the
Permitted Materials, and if so brought or found located thereon, the same shall
be immediately removed, with proper disposal, and all required cleanup
procedures shall be diligently undertaken pursuant to all Environmental Laws.
If, at any time during or after the Term, the Premises are found to be so
contaminated or subject to said conditions, Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold
Indemnitees (as defined in
Paragraph 30) harmless from all claims,
demands, actions, liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and obligations of any
nature arising from or as a result of the presence or the use of the Hazardous
Substances in the Premises by Tenant.
(c)
Tenant will not permit the Premises to be used for any purpose or
in any manner (including without limitation any method of storage) which would
render the insurance thereon void or the insurance risk more hazardous or cause
the Insurance Commissioner or other insurance authority to disallow any
sprinkler credits. If any increase in the fire and extended coverage insurance
premiums paid by Landlord or other tenants for the Building is caused by
Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises, or if Tenant vacates the Premises
and causes an increase in such premiums, then Tenant shall pay the amount of
such increase to Landlord as Additional Rent.
(d)
If Tenant shall receive notice of any violation of, or defaults
under, any Laws or Environmental Laws, liens or other encumbrances applicable to
the Premises, Tenant shall give prompt notice thereof to Landlord.
(e)
Tenant agrees that the floor load resulting from Tenant's furniture,
inventory and equipment pertaining to Tenant's use of the Premises shall not
exceed allowable design floor loading for the Building. Tenant shall hold
harmless Landlord from any loss, liability and expenses, both real and alleged,
arising out of or caused by Tenant's negligence or failure to comply with this
Paragraph 4.
(f)
The Premises shall not be used for any purpose that would, in
Landlord's reasonable judgment, tend to lower the character of the Building,
create unreasonable or excessive elevator or floor loads, violate the
certificate of occupancy of the Building, impair or interfere with any of the
Building operations or the proper and economic heating, air-conditioning,
cleaning or any other services of the Building or impair the appearance of the
Building.
(g)
The foregoing covenants and indemnity shall survive the expiration
or earlier termination of this Lease.
5. SERVICES AND
UTILITIES.
(a)
Landlord shall furnish appropriate seasonal air conditioning and
heating from 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. on Mondays through Fridays and from
8:30 A.M. until 1:00 P.M. Saturdays ("Business Hours") except holidays observed
by the City of Atlanta, State of Georgia, the federal government or labor unions
servicing the Building ("Business Days"). As of the date of this Lease, New
Year's Day, Martin Luther King Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving, the Friday after Thanksgiving and Christmas Day are holidays
observed by the Building
9
("Holidays"). The Holidays are subject to change from time to time by Landlord.
Should Tenant desire either heating or air conditioning at other times, Landlord
agrees to provide same upon reasonable advance written request by Tenant, but at
Tenant's expense and at such hourly rates as may be determined from time to time
by Landlord, which charge Tenant shall pay promptly upon demand by Landlord.
Tenant agrees to keep and cause to be kept closed all window coverings, if any,
when necessary because of the sun's position, and Tenant also agrees at all
times to cooperate fully with Landlord and to abide by all the regulations and
requirements which Landlord may prescribe for the proper functioning and
protection of the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning system and to
comply with all laws, ordinances and regulations respecting the conservation of
energy. Landlord will not be responsible for failure of the HVAC System to
provide sufficient cooling if such failure results from occupancy of the
Premises by more than one (1) person per two hundred (200) square feet of
usable area or if Tenant shall use in excess of five (5) watts of electricity
per usable square foot for lighting and power. If the occupancy rate is
greater than as described in the previous sentence or if Tenant's partitions
are arranged in a way which interferes with the normal operation of the HVAC
System, Landlord may elect to make changes to the HVAC System or the ducts,
and the cost shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent
within ten (10) days after demand. Tenant shall not construct partitions or
other obstructions that may interfere with Landlord's free access to mechanical
installations in the Premises or interfere with the moving of Landlord's
equipment to and from such installations. Neither Tenant nor its agents,
employees or contractors shall at any time enter such enclosures or tamper with,
adjust, touch or otherwise affect the mechanical installations. If Tenant
installs equipment which in Landlord's opinion produces enough heat to cause
comfort problems in the Building or any part thereof, or if Tenant desires a
supplemental air conditioning system and Landlord has approved same, then
Landlord may, at its option, either cause to be designed or permit Tenant to
design a supplemental air conditioning system, subject to Landlord's approval,
and Landlord shall install such system substantially in accordance with such
design. If Tenant has requested such supplemental system, Tenant shall be
responsible for determining that the design of such system is adequate for its
needs. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord for such equipment, design, review by
Landlord's architect and engineer, installation, metering and consumption of
electricity for supplemental air conditioning. Any such system shall be
maintained, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, by a contractor approved by
Landlord. Landlord shall be named as an additional beneficiary under any
warranty on the supplemental air conditioning system. Landlord shall provide
after-hours HVAC to Tenant upon request. The current charge is $75.00 per hour
per floor and is subject to change based on utility cost increases and certain
minimum usage.
(b)
Landlord shall cause the Premises (excluding any secured areas
designated by Tenant or used for the storage, preparation, service or
consumption of food or beverage) to be cleaned five (5) days per week,
excluding Holidays, in the manner described on
Exhibit F attached
hereto and made a part hereof, provided that Tenant shall keep the Premises in
order. Tenant shall not provide any janitorial services from independent
contractors without Landlord's prior written consent and then subject to
supervision by Landlord and by a janitorial contractor or employees at all
times satisfactory to Landlord. Any such services provided by Tenant shall be
at Tenant's sole risk, cost and responsibility. Tenant shall pay the cost of
removing any of Tenant's refuse and rubbish from the Premises and the Building
to the extent that the same, in any one day, exceeds the average daily amount
of refuse and rubbish accumulated in the use of such Premises as offices, as
described in Landlord's cleaning contract or recommended by
10
Landlord's cleaning contractor Bills rendered by Landlord for additional
cleaning charges shall be paid as Additional Rent within ten (10) days after
demand. Tenant shall cause all portions of the Premises used for the storage,
preparation, service or consumption of food or beverages to be cleaned daily in
a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and to be treated whenever there
is evidence of any infestation. Landlord shall have no obligation to clean,
repair, replace or maintain any "private" plumbing fixtures or facilities.
(c)
Landlord shall furnish electric current for Building standard tenant
lighting and for standard office business machinery, only from electric circuits
designated by Landlord for Tenant's use. Such circuits shall be fed into one or
more of the existing electrical panel(s) in the electrical closets located on
the same Building floor as the Premises. Tenant's usage of the panels on any
given floor shall not exceed Tenant's pro rata share (based on rentable square
footage) of the panels' capacity. Tenant agrees that at no time will the
connected electrical load in the Premises exceed in the aggregate five (5)
watts per usable square foot of the Premises. Tenant will not use any
electrical equipment which, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, will overload the
wiring installations or interfere with the reasonable use thereof by other users
in the Building. Tenant will not, without Landlord's prior written consent in
each instance, connect any items such as non-Building standard tenant lighting,
vending equipment, printing or duplicating machines, or auxiliary air
conditioners to the Building's electrical system or make any alteration or
addition to the system.
(d)
Landlord shall maintain the Common Areas including, but not limited
to the corridors, the windows in the Building, the mechanical, plumbing and
electrical equipment serving the Building, in good order and condition, except
for damage occasioned by the act of Tenant, its agents, servants, employees,
guests or invitees, which damage shall be repaired by Landlord at Tenant's
expense.
(e)
Landlord shall furnish hot and cold water for ordinary drinking,
cleaning and lavatory purposes. If Tenant requires, uses or consumes water
for other purposes, Tenant agrees to install and pay for the cost and
maintenance of a meter or other means to measure Tenant's water consumption.
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of all excess water excess
consumed (including costs of generating hot water) as Additional Rent, within
ten (10) days after demand.
(f)
Landlord shall not be in default hereunder or be liable for any
damages directly or indirectly resulting from, nor shall the Rent herein
reserved be abated by reason of: (i) the installation, use or interruption of
use of any equipment in connection with the furnishing of any of the foregoing
utilities and services; (ii) failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any such
utilities or services when such failure or delay is caused by acts of God or
the elements, labor disturbances of any character, any other accidents or other
conditions beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, or by the making of
repairs or improvements to the Premises or to the Building; or (iii) the
limitation, curtailment, rationing or restriction on use of water or
electricity, gas or any other form of energy or any other service or utility
whatsoever serving the Premises or the Building. No diminution or abatement
of Rent or other compensation will be claimed by Tenant as a result therefrom,
and no obligations of Tenant shall be affected or reduced by reason of such
interruption, curtailment or suspension, and the same shall not constitute an
actual or constructive eviction.
11
(g)
Landlord shall provide passenger elevator service to the Premises
during Business Days, and subject to
Subparagraph (f) above, on call at
all other times. Landlord shall provide freight elevator service to the
Premises on call on a "first come, first served" basis from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00
p.m. on Business Days, and by reservation on a "first come, first served" basis
from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. on Business Days and at any time on other than
Business Days.
(h)
Any sums payable under this
Paragraph 5 shall be considered
Additional Rent and may be added to any installment of Rent thereafter becoming
due and shall accrue late charges as Rent as set forth in
Paragraph 16 of
this Lease, and Landlord shall have the same remedies for a default in payment
of such sums as for a default in the payment of Rent.
(i)
Subject to the provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall have access
to the Premises 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, it is not the intention of Landlord
or Tenant for Tenant to occupy the Premises for a 24-hours per day business
operation.
(j)
The Landlord currently provides two (2) security guards during
Business Hours and one (1) security guard after Business Hours. In addition,
security cameras monitor ingress to and egress from the Building.
6. REPAIRS.
(a)
Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, keep in good order,
condition and repair all portions of the Premises, including but not limited
to glass and plate glass doors, fixtures, any special store front, interior
walls and finish work, floors and floor coverings, and supplemental or special
heating and air conditioning systems, except for normal wear and tear. Except
as otherwise provided in this
Paragraph 6, Tenant shall not be obligated
to repair any Building Systems. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary,
all damage or injury to the Building, or to its fixtures and appurtenances
(including Building Systems), resulting from any act or omission of, or
Alterations made by Tenant or persons within Tenant's control shall be repaired
by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense to the reasonable satisfaction of
Landlord if the required repairs are non-structural in nature and do not affect
any Building Systems or by Landlord at Tenant's sole cost and expense if the
required repairs are structural in nature or affect any Building Systems. If
Tenant shall fail, after ten (10) days notice (or such shorter period as may be
required because of an emergency) to proceed with due diligence to make required
repairs, the same may be made by Landlord, and the expenses incurred with
interest at the Applicable Rate (as defined in
Paragraph 30), shall be
paid as Additional Rent within ten (10) days after demand. Except as otherwise
provided in this
Subparagraph 6(a), Landlord shall not be required to
make any repairs or improvements to the Premises, other than structural,
mechanical or electrical repairs necessary for safety and tenantability, and
such repairs shall be made during Business Hours.
(b)
Landlord shall operate, maintain and make all necessary repairs to
the Building Systems and the public portions of the Building in conformance
with standards applicable to non-institutional, first-class office buildings
in Atlanta, except for those repairs for which Tenant is responsible pursuant
to this Lease. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference
with Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises in making any repairs,
alterations, additions or improvements; provided, however, that Landlord shall
perform such work during Business Hours. Except
12
as expressly provided in this Lease, there shall be no allowance to Tenant for
a diminution of rental value and no liability on the part of Landlord for
inconvenience, annoyance or injury to business arising from Landlord, Tenant
or others making, or failing to make, any repairs, alterations, additions or
improvements in or to any portion of the Building or the Premises, or its
fixtures, appurtenances or equipment.
7. ALTERATIONS.
(a)
Tenant shall not make or permit to be made any Alterations without
Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, provided that: (i) the outside appearance of the Building
shall not be affected; (ii) the strength of the Building shall not be affected;
(iii) the structural parts of the Building shall not be adversely affected;
(iv) no part of the Building outside of the Premises shall be affected; and (v)
the proper functioning of the Building Systems shall not be adversely affected
and the use of such systems by Tenant shall not be increased beyond Tenant's
allocable portion of the reserve capacity thereof, if any. If consent to any
Alterations is not given, Landlord shall notify Tenant in sufficient detail to
enable Tenant to amend its plans and specifications regarding such Alterations
to comply with Landlord's objections.
(b)
All Alterations erected by Tenant shall be the property of Tenant
during the Term and the property of Landlord as of the Expiration Date or
earlier termination of this Lease. Landlord reserves the right to require
Tenant to remove Tenant's Alterations and restore the Premises to their
condition as of the Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear excepted, on
or before the Expiration Date or any sooner date of termination of this Lease;
provided, however, that if Landlord so elects prior to termination or
expiration of this Lease, such Alterations shall become the property of
Landlord as of the Expiration Date or any sooner date of termination of this
Lease and shall be delivered to the Landlord with the Premises. The provisions
of this
Paragraph 7 shall survive the Expiration Date or earlier
termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or before the
date Landlord approves Tenant's Plans and Specifications for such Alterations,
Landlord shall notify Tenant whether Tenant will be required to remove such
Alterations, prior to the Expiration Date and restore any damage to the Premises
or the Building caused by such removal in a good and workmanlike manner to
Building standard condition (reasonable wear and tear excepted).
(c)
Tenant shall pay Manager a supervisory fee equal to four (4%)
percent of the cost of Alterations, which fee shall be paid within ten (10)
days after demand by Landlord.
8. RULES AND REGULATIONS.
Tenant, its employees and agents shall comply with the Rules and
Regulations attached to this Lease as
Exhibit G and made a part hereof
and all modifications thereof and additions thereto from time to time put into
effect by Landlord. Landlord shall not be responsible for the nonperformance
by any other tenant or occupant of the Building of any of the Rules and
Regulations. Landlord shall not discriminate against Tenant in the enforcement
of the Rules and Regulations. In case of any conflict or inconsistency between
the provisions of this Lease and of any of the Rules and Regulations as
originally or as hereinafter adopted, the provisions of this Lease shall
control.
13
9. ACCESS BY LANDLORD.
(a)
Upon reasonable notice to Tenant (which may be verbal), Landlord or
its agents may enter the Premises at reasonable hours to exhibit same to
prospective purchasers or tenants or mortgagees, to inspect the Premises to see
that Tenant is complying with all of its obligations hereunder, to supply
janitorial and other services, and to make repairs, improvements, alterations
or additions which Landlord shall deem necessary for the safety, preservation,
maintenance or improvement of the Building or to make repairs or modifications
to any adjoining space. Landlord shall be allowed to take all material into
and upon the Premises that may be required to make such repairs, maintenance,
improvements, alterations or additions for the benefit of Tenant without in any
way being deemed or held guilty of an eviction of Tenant, and the Base Rent
and other charges hereunder shall not abate while such repairs, improvements,
alterations or additions are being made. All such repairs, maintenance,
improvements, alterations and additions shall be done during regular business
hours, or, if any such work is at the request of Tenant to be done during any
other hours, Tenant shall pay for all overtime costs. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary, Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time
and without notice in the event of emergency without the same constituting an
eviction, nuisance or disturbance.
(b)
Landlord shall at all times retain a key with which to unlock all
the doors in the Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults, safes or special security
areas (designated in advance by Tenant in writing and made known to Landlord),
and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may
deem necessary or proper to open said doors in an emergency, in order to obtain
entry to any portion of the Premises, and any entry to the Premises by Landlord
shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or
unlawful entry into the Premises, or an eviction, actual or constructive, of
Tenant from the Premises or any portions thereof. Landlord shall also have the
right at any time, without the same constituting an actual or constructive
eviction and without incurring any liability to Tenant therefor, to erect, use
and maintain scaffolding, conduits and other necessary structures in the
Premises. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to interfere
with Tenant's business operations while Landlord is in the Premises.
10. ASSIGNMENT AND
SUBLETTING.
(a)
Except as specifically provided herein, Tenant shall not voluntarily
or involuntarily, whether by operation of law or otherwise, assign, transfer,
mortgage, hypothecate or otherwise encumber this Lease or any interest herein
and shall not sublet or permit the use by others of the Premises or any portion
thereof without obtaining Landlord's prior written consent, which consent
Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay based on the factors set forth
in
Subparagraph 10(e) below. Landlord's consent to one assignment,
sublease, transfer or hypothecation shall not be deemed as a consent to any
other or further assignment, sublease, transfer or hypothecation. Any
assignment, sublease, transfer or hypothecation without Landlord's prior
written consent shall be void and shall, at Landlord's option, constitute a
default under this Lease. No acceptance by Landlord of any rent or any other
sum of money from any assignee, sublessee or other category of transferee shall
release Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder or be deemed to constitute
Landlord's consent to any assignment, sublease, transfer or hypothecation.
Tenant shall not advertise or authorize a broker to advertise for a subtenant
or assignee without providing prior written notice to Landlord.
14
(b)
Should Tenant desire to assign this Lease or sublet the Premises
or any part thereof, Tenant shall give Landlord prior written notice ("Sublease
or Assignment Statement"), which notice shall specify (i) the name and business
of the proposed assignee or sublessee, (ii) the amount and location of the space
affected, (iii) the proposed effective date and duration of the subletting or
assignment (which shall not be less than thirty (30) or more than ninety (90)
days after the date of Tenant's Sublease or Assignment Statement), and (iv) the
proposed rent or other consideration to be paid to Tenant by such sublessee or
assignee. Landlord shall then have thirty (30) days following receipt of such
notice within which to notify Tenant in writing that Landlord elects either (1)
to terminate this Lease as to the space so affected as of the date so specified
by Tenant, in which event Tenant will on that date be relieved of all further
obligations to pay Rent hereunder as to such space, or (2) to permit Tenant to
assign or sublet such space, or (3) to withhold consent to Tenant's assigning
or subleasing such space and to continue this Lease in full force and effect as
to the entire Premises. If Landlord should fail to notify Tenant in writing of
such election within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall be deemed to
have withheld its consent. Any person to whom this Lease is assigned with
Landlord's consent shall be deemed without more to have assumed all of the
obligations arising under this Lease from and after the date of such assignment
and shall execute and deliver to Landlord, upon demand, an instrument confirming
such assumption. If Tenant shall not enter into a sublease or assignment
pursuant to the notice set forth in this
Subparagraph 10(b) within one
hundred eighty (180) days after the delivery of the said notice, then the
provisions of this
Subparagraph 10(b) shall again be applicable.
(c)
Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for Landlord's reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs actually incurred in connection with the processing
and documentation of any request made pursuant to this
Paragraph 10.
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, within five (5) days after execution by
Tenant, an original counterpart of any executed sublease or instrument of
assignment, together with Tenant's and the subtenant's (or assignee's) affidavit
that such sublease or assignment instrument is the true and complete statement
of the subletting or assignment and reflects all sums and other consideration
passing between the parties. Tenant shall pay, indemnify and hold Landlord
harmless from and against, any and all cost or expense (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements) and liability in connection with any
compensation, commissions or charges claimed by any broker or agent with
respect to any assignment or subletting.
(d)
No assignment, subletting or other transfer, whether or not
consented to by Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its liability under this
Lease. Upon the occurrence of a default under this Lease, if the Premises or
any part thereof are then assigned or sublet, Landlord, in addition to any
other remedies herein provided or provided by law, may at its option collect
directly from such assignee or subtenant all Rent becoming due to Tenant under
such assignment or sublease and apply such Rent against any sums due to
Landlord from Tenant hereunder, and such collection shall not be construed to
constitute a novation or release of Tenant from the further performance of
Tenant's obligations hereunder.
(e)
In the granting of Landlord's consent, Landlord shall take into
consideration any meaningful factors, including, but not limited to: (i) the
financial strength of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (ii) the business
reputation and character of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (iii) the type
of business of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (iv) any increased burden on
services (parking, electricity, etc.) and the Common
15
Areas that would be imposed by the proposed subtenant or assignee; (v) whether
the proposed subtenant or assignee is an existing tenant or is currently in
negotiations with Landlord for space within the Building; (vi) the amount of
square footage in the Premises to be sublet or assigned; (vii) the number of
subtenants or assignees already in the Premises; (viii) whether the proposed
subtenant or assignee shall place any additional responsibilities on the
Landlord in connection with the Americans With Disabilities Act; (ix) whether
the Tenant has an existing default under its Lease; (x) intentionally deleted;
(xi) whether the proposed subtenancy or assignment would reflect the current
rent rate in the Building; or (xii) how Tenant plans to market the Premises for
sublease or assignment.
(f)
For purposes of this
Paragraph 10, (i) the transfer of a
majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock of any corporate tenant
or subtenant, or the transfer of a majority of the total interest in any
partnership tenant or subtenant, or the transfer of control in any general or
limited liability partnership tenant or subtenant, or the transfer of a
majority of the issued and outstanding membership interests in a limited
liability company tenant or subtenant, however accomplished (other than
pursuant to transfers among current owners or the issuance of ownership
interests to new owners made in the ordinary course of business), shall be
deemed an assignment of this Lease or sublease, except that the foregoing shall
be inapplicable in cases of the transfer of the outstanding capital stock of any
corporate tenant through the "over-the-counter market" or through any recognized
stock exchange, (ii) an agreement by any other person or entity, directly or
indirectly, to assume Tenant's obligations under this Lease shall be deemed an
assignment, (iii) any person or legal representative of Tenant to whom Tenant's
interest under this Lease passes by operation of law or otherwise shall be bound
by the provisions of this
Paragraph 10, and (iv) a modification,
amendment or extension of a sublease shall be deemed a sublease. Tenant agrees
to furnish to Landlord on request at any time such information and assurances
as Landlord may reasonably request that neither Tenant nor any previously
permitted subtenant has violated the provisions of this
Paragraph 10.
The provisions of
Paragraph 10 shall not apply to transactions (i) with
a corporation or limited liability company into or with which Tenant is merged
or consolidated or with a Person to which substantially all of Tenant's assets
are transferred (provided such merger or transfer of assets is for a good
business purpose and not principally for the purpose of transferig this
leasehold estate and that the assignee has a net worth at least equal to the net
worth of Tenant as of the date of this Lease or (ii) if Tenant is a general,
limited or limited liability partnership, with a successor partnership, or
(iii) to transactions with an entity that controls or is controlled by Tenant
or is under common control with Tenant. Tenant shall notify Landlord before
any such transaction is consummated and, in the case of an assignment, shall
send Landlord an original written instrument in which the assignee assumes
all of Tenant's liabilities under this Lease. The term "control" as used in
this Lease shall mean (i) ownership of more than 25% of the outstanding
capital stock in the case of a corporation, (ii) more than 25% of the general
partnership or membership interest of the partnership in the case of a general
or limited liability partnership, (iii) more than 25% of the general
partnership interests of limited partnership in the case of a limited
partnership, and (iv) more than 25% of the membership interests of a limited
liability company.
(g)
If Tenant sublets any portion of the Premises pursuant to
Subparagraph 10(b), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent
(the "
Sublease Additional Rent"), a sum equal to fifty percent (50%)
of any rents, additional charges and other consideration payable under the
sublease to Tenant in excess of the Base Rent and Additional Rent accruing
during the
16
term of the sublease in respect of the subleased space pursuant to this Lease
(including, but not limited to, sums paid for the sale or rental of Tenant's
property and Alterations less the then net unamortized or undepreciated cost
thereof determined on the basis of Tenant's federal income tax or federal
information returns). Such Sublease Additional Rent shall be payable as and
when received by Tenant. If Tenant shall assign this Lease pursuant to
Subparagraph 10(b) and Landlord's consent is required, Tenant shall pay
to Landlord, as Additional Rent, an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of all
sums and other consideration paid to Tenant by the assignee for or by reason of
such assignment (including, but not limited to, sums paid for the sale or rental
of Tenant's property and Alterations less the then net unamortized or
undepreciated cost thereof determined on the basis of Tenant's federal income
tax or federal information returns). Such Additional Rent shall be payable as
and when received by Tenant.
(h)
Any sublease shall provide that, if the Lease shall expire or
terminate during the term of the sublease for any reason other than condemnation
or destruction by fire or other cause, or if Tenant shall surrender the Lease
to Landlord during the term of the sublease, Landlord, in its sole discretion,
upon written notice given to Tenant and subtenant, may elect to continue the
sublease as a direct lease between Landlord and subtenant. In that event,
subtenant shall attorn to Landlord and Landlord and subtenant shall enter into
a new lease on the Landlord's then current form of lease.
11. CONDEMNATION.
(a)
If any part of the Premises shall be taken or appropriated by any
public or quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain, Landlord
shall have the right, at its option, to terminate this Lease effective as of
the date possession is taken by said authority (unless all of the Premises are
so taken in which case this Lease shall terminate), and shall be entitled to
any and all income, rent or award and any interest thereon whatsoever which
may be paid or made in connection with such public or quasi-public use or
purpose. Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord its entire interest in any and
all such awards, and shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any
portion of the unexpired Term. If a part of the Premises shall be so taken or
appropriated, and Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, the Base
Rent thereafter to be paid shall be reduced by an amount bearing the same ratio
to the total amount of Base Rent as the rentable square feet of the Premises
so taken bears to the entire Premises.
(b)
If any part of the Building other than the Premises shall be so
taken or appropriated, Landlord shall have the sole right, at its option, to
terminate this Lease and shall be entitled to the entire award as above
provided, and in such case Tenant shall likewise have no claim against
Landlord for the value of any unexpired Term of this Lease.
(c)
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to deny to Tenant its right
to claim from the condemning authority compensation or damages for its trade
fixtures and personal property, provided the condemning authority makes a
separate award therefor.
17
12. INSURANCE AND
INDEMNITY.
(a)
At Landlord's expense, Landlord shall carry and maintain, or cause
to be carried and maintained, at all times during the Term of this Lease, All
Risk Property insurance covering the full replacement value of the Building
subject to deductibles. To the extent the premium paid by Landlord for this
insurance shall be increased because of Tenant's operations or contents or
improvements in the Premises, Tenant agrees to pay the excess amount of the
premium upon demand by Landlord. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done
any act or thing in the Premises which would invalidate or conflict with the
Building's insurance policies.
(b)
At Tenant's expense, Tenant shall carry and maintain, or cause to be
carried and maintained, at all times during the Term of this Lease, All Risk
Property insurance covering the full replacement value of Tenant's alterations,
improvements, betterments and contents (including those made by Landlord to
prepare the Premises for Tenant), with deductibles reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord. Neither Landlord nor its agents shall be liable for any damage to
property of Tenant or of others that has been entrusted to employees of the
Building. Neither Landlord nor its agents shall be liable for the damage to
any property of Tenant by theft unless caused by their sole gross
negligence.
(c)
At Tenant's expense, Tenant shall carry and maintain, or cause to
be carried and maintained, at all times during the Term of this Lease,

"occurrence basis" and shall include, without limitation, blanket contractual
liability coverage, broad form property damage, business interruption coverage,
independent contractors coverage and personal injury coverage protecting
Landlord as an Additional Insured, against liability (except for liability
resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord)
occasioned by any occurrence on or about the Premises including portions of
the Building affected by Tenant's use. Such primary Liability Policy shall
be maintained in an amount not less than $1,000,000 for a single occurrence
limit and $2,000,000 for an aggregate limit. In addition, Tenant shall
maintain excess or umbrella liability insurance providing equally broad
coverage in an amount of not less than $5,000,000.00.
(d)
At Tenant's expense, Tenant shall carry and maintain, or cause to
be carried and maintained, at all times during the Term of this Lease, Workers'
Compensation and Employers' Liability insurance with respect to all of Tenant's
employees working at the Premises and such other insurance or such additional
amounts of insurance with respect to the Premises as is generally maintained by
persons having similar exposures or properties similarly situated and as the
Landlord shall from time to time reasonably require.
(e)
The insurance required under
Paragraph 12 shall be written
by insurers authorized to conduct business in Georgia who are acceptable to
Landlord and have an A.M. Best Company rating of at least "A-"/VIII.
18
(f)
Not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Commencement
Date of the Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the policies of insurance
or an insurance certificate for the policies specified above in the form
attached hereto as
Exhibit H (for liability) and an ACORD 27 (for
property) and shall thereafter furnish to Landlord, at least thirty (30) days
prior to the expiration of any such policies and any renewal thereof, a new
policy or certificate in lieu thereof. Each of the policies or Certificate
shall contain a provision whereby the insurer agrees not to cancel, fail to
renew, diminish or materially modify said insurance policy(ies) without having
given Landlord, the Manager and any lessors and mortgagees specified by
Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof. Tenant shall
promptly send to Landlord a copy of all notices sent to Tenant by Tenant's
insurer.
(g)
Tenant shall pay all premiums and charges for all of said Tenant's
policies required to be maintained hereunder, and, if Tenant shall fail to make
any 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 Applicable Rate, shall be repaid to
Landlord by Tenant on demand, 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 the default of Tenant
with respect thereto.
(h)
Tenant may effect the coverage required under this
Paragraph
12 under blanket insurance policies covering other properties of Tenant,
provided that (1) any such blanket insurance policy shall specify therein, or
the insurer under such policy shall certify to Landlord, any material sublimits
in such blanket policy applicable to the Premises, which sublimits shall not
be less than the amounts required pursuant to this
Paragraph 12; and
(2) any such blanket insurance policy shall comply in all respects with the
other provisions of this
Paragraph 12.
(i)
Subject to
Subparagraph 12(j) below, Landlord and Tenant
hereby waive any and all rights of recovery, claim, action, or cause of action,
against the other, their affiliates, agents, officers or employees, for any
loss or damage that may occur to the Premises, or any improvements thereto, or
the Real Property of which the Premises are a part, by reason of fire, the
elements, or any other cause which is insured against under the terms of an All
Risk Property insurance policy referred to in this
Paragraph 12 or that
is otherwise insured against under an insurance policy maintained by the party
suffering such loss or damage, regardless of cause or origin, except for the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the other party hereto and/or its
agents, officers, or employees, and each party covenants that no insurer shall
hold any right of subrogation against such other party.
(j)
Landlord shall cause each policy carried by Landlord insuring the
Building against loss, damage or destruction by fire or other casualty, and
Tenant shall cause each insurance policy carried by Tenant and insuring the
Premises and Tenant's Alterations, leasehold improvements and Tenant's property
against loss, damage or destruction by fire or other casualty, to be written in
a manner so as to provide that the insurance company waives all rights of
recovery by way of subrogation against Landlord, Tenant and any tenant of space
in the Building in connection with any loss or damage covered by any such
policy. Neither party shall be liable to the other for the amount of such
loss or damage in excess of the applicable deductible, if any, caused by fire
or any of the risks enumerated in its policies, provided that such waiver was
obtainable at the time of such loss
19
or damage. However, if such waiver cannot be obtained or can be obtained
only by payment of an additional premium above
that which is charged by companies carrying such insurance without a waiver of
subrogation, then the party undertaking to obtain such waiver shall notify the
other party and such other party shall have ten (10) days after such notice to
agree in writing to pay the additional premium if such policy is obtainable at
additional cost (in the case of Tenant, pro rata in proportion of Tenant's
rentable area to the total rentable area covered by the insurance); and if the
other party does not agree or the waiver shall not be obtainable, then the
provisions of this
Subparagraph 12(j) shall be null and void as to the
risks covered by the policy for so long as either the waiver cannot be obtained
or the party in whose favor a waiver of subrogation is desired shall refuse to
pay the additional premium. If the release of either Landlord or Tenant as set
forth in this
Subparagraph (j) shall contravene any law with respect to
exculpatory agreements, the liability of the party in question shall be deemed
not released, but no action or rights shall be sought or enforced against such
party unless and until all rights and remedies against the other's insurer are
exhausted and the other party shall be unable to collect such insurance
proceeds. The waiver of subrogation referred to in
Subparagraph (j)
above shall extend to the affiliates, agents and employees of each party
(including, without limitation, the managing agent).
(k)
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless Indemnitees from and against all claims, damages,
losses, fines, suits, costs and expenses of whatever kind incurred in
connection with any such claim or proceeding brought thereon, and defense
thereof (including, but not limited to attorney's fees and expenses) arising
out of or resulting from Tenant's use of the Premises and the Common Areas,
including, but not limited to, any such claims, damages, losses and expenses
attributable to (1) the filing of any lien or claim for payment, or (2) any
accident, injury or damage in or about the Premises during the Term or during
Tenant's occupancy of the Premises, or outside of the Premises but anywhere
within or about the Real Property, where such accident, injury or damage results
from or is claimed to have resulted from an act, omission or negligence of
Tenant or persons within Tenant's control, or (3) any breach, violation or
non-performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained in this
Lease to be fulfilled by Tenant, or (4) all claims of whatever nature against
the Indemnitees arising from any act, omission or negligence of Tenant or
persons within Tenant's control. Such obligation shall not be construed to
negate, abridge or otherwise reduce any other right or obligation of
indemnity that would otherwise exist as to any party or person described in
this
Paragraph 12. In any and all claims against Indemnitees by an
employee of the Tenant or anyone directly or indirectly employed by Tenant or
anyone for whose acts Tenant may be liable, the indemnification obligation
under this
Paragraph 12 shall not be limited in any way by any
limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable
by or for the Tenant under Workers' Compensation acts, disability benefits acts
or other employee benefit acts. If any claim, action or proceeding is made
pursuant to this Parggraph, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall resist
or defend such claim, action or proceeding in the Indemnitees' name, by
attorneys Indemnitee may select.
(l)
Tenant shall give notice to Landlord promptly after learning of
any accident, emergency or other occurrence for which Landlord might be liable,
any fire or other casualty and all damages to or defects in the Premises or the
Building for the repair of which Landlord might be responsible or which
constitutes Landlord's property.
20
(m)
Except for the misconduct, omission, or negligence of Tenant, its
agents and employees, Landlord shall indemnify and hold Tenant, its agents and
employees, harmless from, and shall defend Tenant, its agents and employees,
against, any and all claims or liability for injury or death to any person or
damage to any property whatsoever occurring in or about areas of the Building
other than the Premises caused by the grossly negligent or willful act or
omission of any duty with respect to the same by Landlord.
13. DAMAGE AND
DESTRUCTION.
(a)
If the Building should be damaged, to the extent that: (i) in
Landlord's reasonable judgment, repair would not be economically feasible;
or (ii) that rebuilding or repairs cannot in Landlord's estimation, be
completed within two hundred (200) days after the date of such damage; or
(iii) if the insurance proceeds remaining after any required payments to
Mortgagees are insufficient to repair such damage or destruction, Landlord
shall have the right, at Landlord's option, to terminate this Lease by giving
Tenant written notice of such termination within ninety (90) days after the
date of such casualty, and the Rent shall be apportioned and paid to the date
on which possession is relinquished or the date of such damage, whichever last
occurs, and Tenant shall immediately vacate the Premises according to such
notice of termination. Tenant covenants and agrees to cooperate with Landlord
and any Lessor or Mortgagee in their efforts to collect insurance proceeds
(including rent insurance proceeds) payable to such parties. Landlord shall
not be liable for any delay which may arise by reason of adjustment of insurance
on the part of Landlord or Tenant, or any cause beyond the reasonable control
of Landlord and its contractors.
(b)
If the Building should be damaged by any peril covered by the
insurance to be provided by Landlord under
Paragraph 12(a) above, but
only to such extent that rebuilding or repairs are, in Landlord's estimation,
economically feasible and can be completed within two hundred (200) days after
the date of such damage and the proceeds of such insurance, after deducting any
required payments to Mortgagee or Lessor, are sufficient for such rebuilding or
repairs, this Lease shall not terminate, and Landlord shall at its sole cost
and expense thereupon proceed with reasonable diligence to rebuild and repair
the Building to substantially the condition in which it existed prior to such
damage, except that: (i) Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or
replace any part of the partitions, fixtures, additions and other improvements
which may have been placed in, on or about the Premises by Tenant; and (ii)
Landlord may elect not to rebuild if such damage occurs during the last year
of the Term, exclusive of any option to extend the Term which is unexercised at
the time of such damage. If the Premises are untenantable in whole or in part
following such damage, the Rent payable hereunder during the period in which
the Premises are untenantable shall be reduced to such extent as may be fair
and reasonable under all of the circumstances. In the event that Landlord
should fail to complete such repairs and rebuilding within two hundred (200)
days after the date of such damage, Tenant may, at its option, terminate this
Lease by delivering written notice of termination to Landlord within thirty
(30) days after the expiration of such two hundred (200) day period. Such
termination shall be Tenant's exclusive remedy. If Tenant fails to terminate
this Lease within such 30-day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived
its rights to terminate by reason of the failure of Landlord to complete such
repairs and rebuilding within two hundred (200) days after the date of such
damage.
(c)
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event any Mortgagee or
Lessor requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to the indebtedness due
such Mortgagee or Lessor, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this
Lease by delivering written notice of termination
21
to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after such requirement is made by any
such Mortgagee or Lessor, whereupon all rights and obligations hereunder shall
cease and terminate. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or
annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting from any
damage from fire or other casualty or the repair thereof.
14. SECURITY DEPOSIT.
(a)
Tenant agrees to deposit the Security Deposit with Landlord upon
execution of this Lease by Tenant, which sum shall be held by Landlord, without
obligation for interest, as security for the performance of Tenant's covenants
and obligations under this Lease, it being expressly understood and agreed that
such Security Deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of
Landlord's damages in case of Tenant's default. Upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default (as defined in the Lease) by Tenant, Landlord may, from time
to time, without prejudice to any other remedy provided herein or provided by
law, use such Security Deposit to the extent necessary to make good any arrears
of Rent or other payments due Landlord hereunder, and any other damages, injury,
expense or liability caused by such Event of Default; and Tenant shall pay to
Landlord on demand the amount so applied in order to restore the Security
Deposit to its original amount. Tenant's failure to so restore the Security
Deposit upon demand shall be deemed an Event of Default under this Lease.
Although the Security Deposit shall be deemed the property of Landlord, any
remaining balance of such Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant at such
time after termination of this Lease as all of Tenant's obligations under this
Lease have been fulfilled. Tenant shall not apply the Security Deposit to the
last month's installment of Rent.
(b)
In the event of the sale or lease of the Building or the Real
Property and Landlord's transfer of the Security Deposit to the purchaser or
lessee, Landlord shall be released by Tenant from all liability for the return
of such cash Security Deposit.
(c)
Tenant covenants that it will not assign or encumber the Security
Deposit. In the event that any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
other debtor-creditor proceedings shall be instituted by or against Tenant,
its successors or assigns, or any guarantor of Tenant hereunder, the Security
Deposit shall be deemed to be applied to the payment of the Base Rent and
Additional Rent owed Landlord for periods prior to the institution of such
proceedings, and the balance, if any, may be retained by Landlord in partial
satisfaction of Landlord's damages.
15. DEFAULTS.
Each of the following events shall be deemed an "Event of Default"
by Tenant under this Lease:
(a)
Tenant's failure to pay the Base Rent or any other sum due
hereunder if such nonpayment continues for five (5) or more days after the same
is due and payable, provided, however, Tenant shall be entitled to five (5)
days written notice to cure any monetary default under this Lease; provided,
further, however, Landlord shall not be required to provide such notice more
than twice in any twelve (12) month period; or Tenant's default in the prompt
and full performance of any other provision of this Lease and Tenant does not
cure the default within thirty (30) days after written demand by Landlord
22
that the default be cured; provided, however, in the event such default cannot
be reasonably cured within thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord, such
time shall be extended so long as Tenant diligently prosecutes the cure of any
such default to completion, provided, that, Tenant commences to cure such
default within such thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord (unless the
default involves a hazardous condition, which shall be cured forthwith upon
Landlord's demand);
(b)
If Tenant shall not, or shall be unable to, or shall admit in
writing Tenant's inability to pay Tenant's debts as they become due; or if
Tenant shall commence or institute any case, proceeding or other action seeking
relief on Tenant's behalf as debtor, or to adjudicate it a bankrupt or
insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up,
liquidation, dissolution, composition or other relief with respect to Tenant
or Tenant's debts under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction, domestic
or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of
debtors, or seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other
similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its property; or
if Tenant shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or if
any case, proceeding or other action shall be commenced or instituted against
Tenant seeking to have an order for relief entered against Tenant as debtor or
to adjudicate Tenant a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, winding-up, liquidation, dissolution, composition or
other relief with respect to Tenant or Tenant's debts under any existing or
future law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking appointment of a
receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for Tenant or for all
or any substantial part of Tenant's property, which either results in any such
entry of an order for relief, adjudication of bankruptcy or insolvency or such
an appointment or the issuance or entry of any other order having a similar
effect or remains undismissed for a period of sixty (60) days; or if a trustee,
receiver or other custodian shall be appointed for any substantial part of the
assets of Tenant which appointment is not vacated or stayed within sixty (60)
days; or
(c)
Tenant's desertion or abandonment or failure to take possession of
the Premises (or any substantial portion thereof); or
(d)
Tenant's failure to discharge a lien placed against the Premises
or the Building within thirty (30) days after written notice to Tenant of such
lien or encumbrance shall have been filed.
16. REMEDIES.
Landlord, in addition to any and all other rights or remedies it
may have at law or in equity, shall have the option of pursuing any one or more
of the following remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default by
Tenant:
(a)
Landlord shall have the immediate right of reentry. Whenever
Landlord terminates this Lease, it shall do so by giving Tenant written notice
of termination, in which event this Lease shall expire and terminate on the
date specified in such notice with the same force and effect as though the date
specified were the date herein originally fixed as the Expiration Date, and all
rights of Tenant under this Lease and in and to the Premises shall expire and
terminate and Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord on the date
specified in such notice, and if Tenant fails to so surrender, Landlord shall
have the right, without notice, and with or without resort to summary
dispossessory proceedings, to enter upon and take possession of the Premises
and to expel or remove Tenant and its effects without being liable for
prosecution or any claim for damages therefor;
(b)
Landlord may terminate this Lease or terminate Tenant's right
to possession of the Premises at any time by giving written notice to that
effect, and relet the Premises or any part thereof. On the giving of the
notice, all of Tenant's rights in the Premises shall terminate. Upon
23
such termination, Tenant shall surrender and vacate the Premises in accordance
with the terms of
Paragraph 17, and Landlord may re-enter and take
possession of the Premises and all the remaining improvements or property and
eject Tenant or any of Tenant's subtenants, assignees or other person or
persons claiming any right under or through Tenant or eject some and not
others or eject none. No termination under this
Paragraph 16 shall
release Tenant from the payment of any sum then due Landlord or from any
claim for damages or Base Rent or Additional Rent or other sum previously
accrued or then accruing against Tenant. Upon such termination, Tenant shall
be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in reletting
the Premises or any part thereof, including, without limitation, broker's
commissions, expenses of cleaning and redecorating the Premises required by
the reletting, reasonable attorneys' fees actually incurred and like costs.
Tenant shall also be liable immediately to Landlord for all unamortized
leasing commissions and improvement allowances, if any. Reletting may be for
a period shorter or longer then the remaining term of this Lease. No act by
Landlord other than giving express written notice of termination to Tenant
shall terminate this Lease. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that in
the event of such termination, actual damages to Landlord may be difficult to
ascertain and, accordingly, hereby agree that in such event, the net present
value of the Base Rent due from the date of such termination to the expiration
of the Term, less the fair rent value of the Premises as determined by Landlord,
which determination shall be deemed conclusive, from the date of such
termination until the expiration of the Term shall thereupon be immediately due
and payable to Landlord as compensation and liquidated damages for Tenant's
default and such termination and not as a penalty. Landlord's rights pursuant
to this
Paragraph 16, including without limitation, Landlord's rights to
collect Base Rent and additional rent and other charges due under this Lease,
shall survive any termination of the Lease, whether such termination is effected
pursuant to this
Paragraph 16 or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, Landlord and Tenant hereby expressly agree that
Landlord shall have no obligation or duty to mitigate or attempt to offset any
damages which are or may be suffered by Landlord as a result of any default of
Tenant under the Lease except as specifically required by law. Any payment by
Tenant of a sum of money less than the entire amount due Landlord at the time
of such payment shall be applied to the obligations of Tenant then furthest in
arrears. No endorsement or statement on any check or accompanying any payment
shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and any payment accepted by Landlord
shall be without prejudice to Landlord's right to obtain the balance due or
pursue any other remedy available to Landlord both in law and in equity.
(c)
Landlord may, with or without terminating this Lease, re-enter the
Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property
shall be deemed to have been abandoned by Tenant and may either be removed and
stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere or otherwise disposed of in Landlord's
sole and absolute discretion, all at the cost of Tenant. The parties hereby
agree that Landlord shall not be liable for the loss of such property or any
damages thereto. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord
pursuant to this
Paragraph 16 shall be construed as an election to
terminate this Lease unless an express written notice of such intention is
given to Tenant.
(d)
Except as expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant hereby waives
any and every form of demand and notice prescribed by statute or other law,
including without limitation the notice of any election of remedies made by
Landlord under this
Paragraph 16, demand for payment of any rent, or
demand for possession.
24
(e)
Tenant shall and hereby agrees to pay all costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord in enforcing any of the covenants and agreements of
this Lease, or as a result of an action brought by Landlord against Tenant
for an unlawful detainer of the Premises, and all such costs, expenses and
attorneys' fees shall, if paid by Landlord, be paid by Tenant to Landlord
within fifteen (15) days of Landlord's written demand therefor, together with
interest at eighteen percent (18%) per annum, but in no event in excess of the
maximum lawful rate, from the date of Landlord's payment thereof.
(f)
If, at any time (i) Tenant shall consist of two (2) or more persons
or (ii) Tenant's obligations under this Lease shall have been guaranteed by any
person other than Tenant or (iii) Tenant's interest in this Lease has been
assigned, the following provisions shall apply: (a) the liability of each person
shall be joint and several; (b) each person hereby consents in advance to, and
agrees to be bound by any Notices that may hereafter be given by any of the
parties signing this Lease as Tenant; and (c) any Notices given or rendered to
the persons signing this Lease as Tenant shall be binding upon all such
parties.
(g)
The foregoing provisions of this
Paragraph 16 shall, as
applicable, survive the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Lease
and shall apply to any renewal or extension of this Lease.
17.
SURRENDER OF PREMISES. Unless otherwise
specifically provided in this Lease, Tenant will peaceably deliver to the
Landlord possession of the Premises in broom clean condition, together with
all Alterations upon or belonging to the same, by whomsoever made, in the same
condition as received, or first installed, ordinary wear and tear, damage by
fire, earthquake, act of God, or the elements alone excepted at the expiration
or sooner termination of this Lease. Tenant shall remove any Alterations
required to be removed under
Paragraph 7, furniture, equipment and
computer and telephone cables belonging to Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost, and
Tenant shall promptly repair any damage caused by such removal. Property not
so removed shall be deemed abandoned by the Tenant, and title to the same shall
thereupon pass to Landlord, and Landlord may either retain or remove same in its
sole discretion. Any expense incurred by Landlord in removing or disposing of
Tenant's property or Alterations required under this Lease to be removed, shall
be reimbursed to Landlord, by Tenant, as Additional Rent, upon demand. Tenant's
obligations pursuant to this
Paragraph 17 shall survive the
expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
18. HOLDING OVER.
Tenant will, at the termination of this Lease by lapse of time or
otherwise, yield immediate possession to Landlord with all repairs and
maintenance required herein to be performed by Tenant completed. Should Tenant
continue to hold the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease, or after reentry by Landlord without terminating this Lease, such
holding over, unless otherwise agreed to by Landlord in writing, shall
constitute and be construed as a tenancy at sufferance and not a tenancy at
will. Tenant shall have no right to notice under
Official Code of Georgia
Annotated §44-7-7 of the termination of its tenancy. Tenant shall pay
monthly installments of Rent equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%)
of the monthly portion of Rent in effect as of the date of expiration or
earlier termination for the first thirty (30) days of such holding over, one
hundred fifty percent (150%) for the next thirty (30) days of such holding over,
and one hundred seventy-five percent (175%) thereafter, and subject to all of
the other terms, charges and expense set forth herein except any right to renew
this Lease or to expand the Premises or any right to additional services, if
any. Tenant shall also be liable to Landlord for
25
all damage which Landlord suffers because of any holding over by Tenant, and
Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all claims made by any other tenant or
prospective tenant against Landlord resulting from delay by Landlord in
delivering possession of the Premises to such other tenant or prospective
tenant. No holding over by Tenant, whether with or without consent of
Landlord, shall operate to extend the Term except as otherwise expressly
provided in a written agreement executed by both Landlord and Tenant. The
provisions of this
Paragraph 18 shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.
19. BANKRUPTCY.
(a)
For the purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §502(b)(7)
all
amounts payable by Tenant to or on behalf of Landlord under this Lease, whether
or not expressly denominated as Rent, shall constitute Rent.
(b)
If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, any and all monies or other consideration
payable or otherwise to be delivered in connection with such assignment shall
be paid or delivered to Landlord, shall be and remain the exclusive property
of Landlord and shall not constitute property of Tenant or the estate of Tenant
within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. Any and all monies or other
considerations constituting Landlord's property under the preceding sentence
not paid or delivered to Landlord shall be held in trust for the benefit of
Landlord and be promptly paid or delivered to Landlord.
(c)
Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to
the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be deemed, without further act or
deed, to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease on and
after the date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall upon demand execute
and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming such assumption.
20. SUBSTITUTION OF
PREMISES. At any time after the date of execution of this
Lease, Landlord may substitute for the Premises, other premises in the Building
(the "New Premises"), in which event the New Premises shall be deemed to be the
Premises for all purposes under this Lease, provided: (a) the New Premises shall
be similar to the Premises in area and appropriateness for the use of Tenant's
purposes; (b) if Tenant is then occupying the Premises, Landlord shall pay the
expenses of moving Tenant, its property and equipment to the New Premises and
such moving shall be done at a time and in such manner so as to minimize, to the
extent reasonably possible, the inconvenience to Tenant; (d) Landlord shall
give to Tenant not less than ninety (90) days' prior written notice of such
substitution; (e) Landlord shall, at its sole cost, Substantially Complete the
New Premises with improvements substantially similar to those in the Premises;
and (f) Landlord shall pay for Tenant's reasonable and actual costs for
reprinting existing supplies of stationery, business cards and such other
paper products.
21. SUBORDINATION;
ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. At the option of Landlord, Tenant
agrees that this Lease shall remain subject and subordinate to all present
and future mortgages, deeds to secure debt or other security instruments (the
"Security Deeds") affecting the Building or the Premises, and Tenant shall
promptly execute and deliver to Landlord such certificate or certificates in
writing as Landlord may request, showing the subordination of the Lease to such
Security Deeds, and in default of Tenant so doing, Landlord shall be and is
hereby authorized and empowered to execute such certificate
26
in the name of and as the act and deed of Tenant, this authority being hereby
declared to be coupled with an interest and to be irrevocable. Tenant shall
upon request from Landlord at any time and from time to time execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a written statement certifying as follows:
(i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there
has been modification thereof, that the same is in full force and effect as
modified and stating the nature thereof); (ii) that to the best of its knowledge
there are no uncured defaults on the part of Landlord (or if any such default
exists, the specific nature and extent thereof); (iii) the date to which any
rents and other charges have been paid in advance, if any; and (iv) such other
matters as Landlord may reasonably request. In the event Tenant fails to comply
with the above provisions within twenty (20) calendar days, Tenant irrevocably
appoints Landlord as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to execute
and deliver, for and in the name of Tenant, any document or instrument provided
for in this Paragraph.
22. MECHANICS' LIENS AND
OTHER TAXES.
(a)
Tenant shall have no authority, express or implied to create or
place any lien or encumbrance of any kind or nature whatsoever upon, or in any
manner to bind the interests of Landlord in the Premises or to charge the Rent
payable hereunder for any claim in favor of any person dealing with Tenant,
including those who may furnish materials or perform labor for any construction
or repairs, and each such claim shall affect and each such lien shall attach to,
if at all, only the leasehold interest granted to Tenant by this instrument.
Tenant covenants and agrees that it will pay or cause to be paid all sums
legally due and payable by it on account of any labor performed or materials
furnished in connection with any work performed on the Premises on which any
lien is or can be validly and legally asserted against its Leasehold interest
in the Premises or the improvements thereon and that it will save and hold
Landlord harmless from any and all loss, cost or expense based on or arising
out of asserted claims or liens against the leasehold estate or against the
right, title and interest of the Landlord in the Premises or under the terms
of this Lease. Tenant agrees to give Landlord immediate written notice if any
lien or encumbrance is placed on the Premises.
(b)
Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied or assessed against
personal property, furniture or fixtures placed by Tenant in the Premises.
If any such taxes for which Tenant is liable are levied or assessed against
Landlord or Landlord's property and if Landlord elects to pay the same or if
the assessed value of Landlord's property is increased by inclusion of personal
property, furniture or fixtures placed by Tenant in the Premises, and Landlord
elects to pay the taxes based on such increase, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
upon demand that part of such taxes.
23. QUIET ENJOYMENT.
Landlord represents and warrants that it has full right and
authority to enter into this Lease and that Tenant, upon paying the Rent herein
set forth and performing its other covenants and agreements herein set forth,
shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the Term
without hindrance or molestation from Landlord or any party claiming by,
through or under Landlord, subject to the terms and provisions of this
Lease.
24. CERTAIN RIGHTS RESERVED
TO LANDLORD. Landlord reserves and may exercise the following
rights without affecting Tenant's obligations hereunder: (a) to change the
name, street address, or suite numbers of the Building (provided that Landlord
shall reimburse Tenant for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs for replacing
existing quantities of stationery); (b) to
27

(a)
Tenant acknowledges that Landlord does not, or in the future may no

separately secured by Tenant from the Landlord or operator thereof ("Operator"),

repairs or changes or to effect construction, (ii) to prevent the acquisition
of public rights in such area, (iii) to discourage unauthorized parking, or
(iv) to protect or preserve natural persons or property. Landlord may do such
other acts in and to the parking area as in its judgment may be desirable to

respective officers, employees, contractors and agents will park their
automobiles and other vehicles only where and as permitted by Landlord.
Tenant will, if and when so requested by Landlord, furnish Landlord with the

respective officers, employees, contractors and agents. Landlord may remove,
at Tenant's expense, any vehicles which are parked or abandoned in violation of

Lease shall apply to, inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon the parties

permitted assigns, except as otherwise herein expressly provided. Landlord
shall have the right to assign any of its rights and obligations under this
Lease. The duties and obligations of Tenant herein shall be binding upon all
or any of them. The duties and obligations of Tenant shall run and extend not

some other party to the interests of Landlord.
(c)
The captions inserted in this Lease are for convenience only and in
no way define, limit or otherwise describe the scope or intent of this Lease, or

matter of this Lease. This Lease may not be altered, changed or amended

If any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal, invalid or
unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the Term, then and
in that event it is the intention of the parties hereto that the remainder of
this Lease shall not be affected thereby, and it is also the intention of the
parties to this Lease that in lieu of each clause or provision of this Lease
that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there 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.
31
(g)
This Lease shall not be valid or binding unless and until accepted
by Landlord in writing and a fully executed copy is delivered to both parties
hereto.
(h)
Time is of the essence of this Lease and all of its provisions;
provided, however, the failure of Landlord to provide Tenant with any
notification regarding adjustments in Rent within the time periods prescribed
in this Lease shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation to make such payments,
which payments shall be made at such time as notice is subsequently given.
(i)
Landlord shall have the right at any time, and from time to time,
to amend unilaterally the provisions of this Lease if Landlord is advised by
its counsel that all or any portion of the Rent paid by Tenant to Landlord
hereunder is, or may be deemed to be, unrelated business taxable income within
the meaning of the United States Internal Revenue Code or regulations issued
thereunder, or if any other provision of this Lease shall result in an ERISA
violation by Landlord, Tenant agrees that it will execute all documents
necessary to effect any such amendment, provided that no such amendment shall
increase Tenant's obligations or other liability under this Lease or reduce
Landlord's obligations or liability hereunder.
(j)
The waiver by Landlord of any breach of any term, covenant or
condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other
term, covenant or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term,
covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of Rent or
other sums due hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease,
other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular payment so accepted,
regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of
acceptance of such payment. No covenant, term or condition of this Lease
shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord unless such waiver is in writing
signed by Landlord.
(k)
Tenant agrees to comply with current and future restrictions of
record that are applicable to the Building or Real Property.

right and authority to enter into this Lease. Each party agrees to furnish to
the other, promptly upon demand, a corporate resolution, proof of due
authorization by partners, or other appropriate documentation evidencing the
due authorization of such party to enter into this Lease.
(m)

between the parties hereto; no estate shall pass out of Landlord. Tenant has
only a usufruct, not subject to levy and sale, and not assignable by Tenant
except by Landlord's consent as specifically provided in
Paragraph 10
of this Lease.
(n)
Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere in this Lease, Tenant
shall have no claim, and hereby waives the right to any claim, against Landlord
for money damages by reason of any refusal, withholding or delaying by Landlord
of any consent, approval or statement of satisfaction required of Landlord by
this Lease or applicable law. In such event, Tenant's only remedy for any
refusal, withholding or delay which is determined to be unreasonable or in
contravention of this Lease or applicable law shall be an action for specific
performance or an injunction to enforce any such requirement.
32
(o)
Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding,
Tenant shall look solely to Landlord's interest in the Building (which shall
include rental or sales proceeds related to the Building) for the collection
of any judgment or other judicial process requiring the payment of money by
Landlord for any default or breach by Landlord under this Lease, subject,
however, to the prior rights of any mortgagee, the holder of any deed to secure
debt or lessor of the Real Property. No other assets of Landlord or any
partners, shareholders, or other principals of Landlord shall be subject to
levy, execution or other judicial process for the satisfaction of Tenant's
claim.
(p)
This Lease shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the
State of Georgia, without regard to the conflicts of laws rules of such state.
Any action brought to enforce or interpret this Lease shall be brought in the
court of appropriate jurisdiction in Fulton County, Georgia. Should any
provision of this Lease require judicial interpretation, Landlord and Tenant
hereby consent to the service of process and jurisdiction of the courts of the
State of Georgia. The parties stipulate that the court interpreting or
considering same shall not apply the presumption that the terms hereof shall be
more strictly construed against a party by reason of any rule or conclusion
that a document should be construed more strictly against the party who itself
or through its agent prepared the same, it being agreed that all parties hereto
have participated in the preparation of this Lease and that each party had full
opportunity to consult legal counsel of its choice before the execution of this
Lease. If any words or phrases in this Lease are stricken out or otherwise
added, this Lease shall be construed as if the words or phrases so stricken
out or otherwise eliminated were never included in this Lease and no
implication or inference shall be drawn from the fact that such words or
phrases were stricken out or otherwise eliminated. The Tenant hereby
represents that it is not entitled, directly or indirectly, to diplomatic or
sovereign immunity. The provisions of this
Subparagraph 29(p) shall
survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease.
(q)
Tenant agrees to pay all attorneys' fees and expenses the Landlord
incurs in enforcing any of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease or in any
litigation or negotiation in which Landlord shall, without its fault, shall
become involved through or on account of this Lease.
(r)
Any elimination or shutting off of light, air, or view by any
structure which may be erected on lands adjacent to the Building shall in no
way affect this Lease and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant with
respect thereto.
(s)
Neither this Lease nor any memorandum of this Lease shall be
recorded.
(t)
Landlord and Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any action,
proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of them against the other on any
matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease,
whether during or after the Term, or for the enforcement of any remedy under
any statute, emergency or otherwise.
(u)
Should Landlord assign this Lease as provided for above, or should
Landlord enter into a security deed or other mortgage affecting the Premises
and should the holder of such deed or mortgage succeed to the interest of
Landlord, Tenant shall be bound to said assignee or any such holder under all
the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease for the balance of the Term
hereof remaining after such succession, and Tenant shall
33
attorn to such
succeeding party as its Landlord under this Lease promptly under any such
succession. Upon any assignment or transfer of Landlord's interest in this
Lease, Landlord shall automatically be released from any liability arising
under this Lease from and after the date of such assignment or transfer.
Tenant agrees that should any party so succeeding to the interest of Landlord
require a separate agreement of attornment regarding the matters covered by
this Lease, then Tenant shall enter into such agreement, provided that the
same does not materially modify any of the economic provisions of this
Lease.
(v)
Except as otherwise provided in this subparagraph, this Lease and
the obligation of Tenant to pay Rent hereunder and to perform all of the other
covenants and agreements hereunder on the part of Tenant to be performed shall
in no way be affected, impaired or excused because Landlord is unable to
fulfill any of Landlord's obligations under this Lease, expressly or implicitly
to be performed by Landlord, or because Landlord is unable to make or is delayed
in making any repairs, additions, alterations, improvements or decorations, or
is unable to supply or is delayed in supplying any services, equipment or
fixtures, if Landlord is prevented from or delayed in so doing by reason of
acts of God, casualty, strikes or labor troubles, accident, governmental
preemption in connection with an emergency, requirements of law, conditions of
supply and demand which have been or are affected by war or other emergency, or
any other cause whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing,
beyond Landlord's reasonable control ("Unavoidable Delays"). If Tenant is
unable to make repairs or cure an environmental problem as required under this
Lease because of Unavoidable Delays, Tenant shall not be in default of this
Lease and the time for Tenant's obligation to make such repairs or cure such
environmental problem shall be extended for a reasonable period after the end
of such Unavoidable Delays.
(w)
Landlord shall provide Building-standard signage for Tenant in the
Directory in the lobby and near the entrance to the Premises.

Consent of
Landlord: Tenant will make no Alterations except as permitted by the Lease.
The Manager will furnish a list of contractors who may perform Alterations to
the Premises upon Tenant's request. Tenant may not employ any contractor or

comparable to other work in the Premises and previously approved by Landlord;

wall finishes; and carpeting. Tenant, with Landlord's approval,
may also select an alternate contractor for pricing of some or all
of such construction activities, provided that no Building Systems

Landlord shall not be required to bid minor build-outs;
(d) Following receipt
of bids from the general contractors based upon the
approved Tenant's Plans and an opportunity for Tenant to revise Tenant's
Plans, at Tenant's cost, the Construction Documents shall be prepared from
such Tenant's Plans by Architect and Engineer, and a contract for
construction shall be awarded by Landlord to a bidder with a price and
construction schedule reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant.
Construction shall be commenced and diligently pursued to completion in
accordance with such construction schedule. Upon prior notice to Tenant,
Landlord reserves the right to make reasonable substitutions of equal or
better quality and value for Building Standard Materials in the event of
unavailability of materials or altered field conditions;
(e) Landlord shall
give Tenant five (5) Business Days prior written notice of

4. Tenant agrees
that it shall look solely to Architect and Engineer with respect to the
adequacy, correctness or sufficiency of Tenant's Plans or
54
compliance thereof with any applicable laws, codes, regulations or ordinances
of any applicable governmental authority, or otherwise and that Landlord's
review or approval of Tenant's Plans shall not constitute a representation,
guaranty or warranty with respect to Tenant's Plans.
5. Tenant's Plans
shall be filed by Architect or Engineer, at Landlord's sole cost and expense,
as shall be required by law and approved by all governmental authorities having
jurisdiction thereof. Any and all permits which may be required shall be
procured by Architect or Engineer as part of the Tenant Improvement Allowance.
Tenant and Tenant's architect and designers, if any, shall cooperate with
Landlord in obtaining any such approvals and permits without delay.
6. Any changes
required by any governmental authority, agency or department affecting the
construction of any Landlord's Work or any Additional Work to be performed
therein shall not be deemed to be a violation of Tenant's Plans or any
provision of this Work Agreement and shall be accepted and paid for by
Tenant.
ARTICLE III
TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE; ADDITIONAL WORK
1. Tenant shall bear
the cost of the design and preparation of Tenant's Plans and the performance of
Landlord's Work, except that Tenant shall receive an allowance (the "Tenant
Improvement Allowance") of up to $58,507.50 (or $14.50 per rentable square foot)
to be used as provided in this Agreement. If Landlord is notified in writing by
Tenant within one hundred eighty (180) days of the execution of the Lease,
Tenant shall have the right to borrow from Landlord up to an $2.00 per rentable
square foot to use for costs associated with Tenant's build-out of the Premises.
Tenant shall repay all such amounts borrowed from Landlord, without interest,
via an increase in the Base Rent, which sum shall be amortized over the shorter
of either (a) the Term of the Lease or (b) the then-remaining portion of the
Term of the Lease as of the date such funds are advanced from Landlord to
Tenant. Tenant expressly agrees and acknowledges that such funds shall only be
used for the build-out of the Premises and specifically excludes furniture and
moving expenses associated with Tenant's occupancy of the Premises.
2. All work shown in
Tenant's Plans costing in excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be
deemed to be Additional Work ("Additional Work"), and Tenant shall pay Landlord
upon demand for the actual cost thereof. All revised or additional Tenant's
Plans are subject to Landlord's review and written approval which will not be
unreasonably withheld. Should any revisions or additions to the original
Tenant's Plans result in a delay of Substantial Completion (hereinafter defined)
of the Premises, Tenant agrees that such shall constitute a Tenant Delay
(hereinafter defined).
3. Tenant shall pay
Landlord's Construction Manager, Insignia/ESG, Inc., a supervisory fee equal to
three (3%) percent of the actual costs for furnishing, installing and/or
constructing the Tenant's Plans (as they may be modified). If additional
architectural or engineering fees are incurred as a result of any changes in
the Tenant's Plans prepared by the Architect and Engineer, such fees shall
constitute Additional Work if they exceed the Tenant Improvement Allowance. A
supervisory fee will be added for any Change Orders (as hereinafter defined).
Such fee shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord's Construction Manager upon
demand.
Landlord's Manager (as defined in the Lease) shall serve as the Construction
Manager. "Change Order(s)" shall mean any alteration, substitution, addition or
change to or in the Tenant's Plans or Construction Documents requested by Tenant
after the same
55
has been consented to by Landlord.
4. Should Tenant
modify Tenant's Plans or the Construction Documents subsequent to their approval
by Landlord and Tenant, and such modifications increase the cost of Landlord's
Work, then Tenant shall be solely responsible for such cost increase.
5. The Tenant
Improvement Allowance shall be used only for the so-called "hard" construction
costs associated with performing, installing and/or constructing Landlord's
Work.
6. If any items of
Additional Work shall entail the ordering and/or purchase by Landlord of
unusual or specialty materials or products involving, in Landlord's sole
judgment, material cost, Landlord may require Tenant to pay to Landlord
within five (5) days of Landlord's request therefor before proceeding to
purchase or order same (which request may be contained in Landlord's estimate
of the cost thereof furnished to Tenant) a deposit, on account of the cost of
such Additional Work, as shall be determined by Landlord in its sole
discretion.
7. If, in Landlord's
sole judgment, any items of Additional Work shall involve ordering of materials
or products which must be specially fabricated to order and thus will materially
delay the performance of Landlord's Work, then Landlord may require Tenant to
agree on a fixed Commencement Date of this Lease (allowing a reasonable time
for the performance of Landlord's Work in absence of the necessity of performing
the Additional Work occasioning such material delay). If the parties cannot
agree upon a fixed Commencement Date, then Landlord shall have the right to
decline to perform such Additional Work, and Tenant shall be responsible
for the performance thereof (subject to the terms of this Lease) after the
completion of Landlord's Work and any other Additional Work not objected to by
Landlord.

ARTICLE V
APPROVALS; AUTHORIZATIONS; TENANT'S AUTHORIZED AGENT(S)

Tenant of Tenant's Plans shall be deemed authorization by Tenant for Landlord
to proceed with the performance of Landlord's Work and any Additional Work and
shall be deemed approval by Tenant of Landlord's cost estimate for the
work.
2. Any approvals
required to be given by Tenant shall be deemed given unless within five (5)
days after request is made therefor, notice of disapproval is given. Any
architect or designer acting for or on behalf of Tenant shall be deemed an
agent of Tenant duly authorized to bind and act for Tenant in all
respects.
56
ARTICLE VI
NO CHANGES IN TENANT'S PLANS
1. No change(s) may
be made by Tenant in any of Tenant's Plans which, in Landlord's sole opinion,
will cause any additional cost or expense to Landlord unless Tenant shall
specifically agree to pay Landlord's reasonable costs incurred as a result of
any such change(s) and to be responsible for any delay in the completion of
Landlord's Work. In no event may any changes be made to any of Tenant's Plans
(or to any Landlord's Work or Additional Work performed in the Premises) after
Landlord shall have sent to Tenant written notice of the anticipated date of
Substantial Completion of Landlord's Work.

ARTICLE VIII
TENANT'S INSTALLATIONS
1. In the event
Tenant shall desire to make any installations in the Premises ("Tenant's
Installations") which are not to be made by Landlord for Tenant, the following
shall apply:
(a) On condition that such
Tenant's Installations will not require any
structural change, and further provided that all Landlord's Work and
Additional Work required to be made by Landlord therein shall have
reached a point with respect to which, in Landlord's sole judgment,
exercised in good faith, the making of Tenant's Installations will not
delay or hamper Landlord in the completion of Landlord's Work or any
Additional Work, Tenant may enter the Premises for the purpose of making
Tenant's Installations subject, however, to the applicable provisions of
the Lease. In addition to the insurance requirements set forth in
Paragraph 12 of this Lease, Tenant shall provide whatever insurance
coverage and certificates as are required by Landlord's Construction
Manager in connection with work to be done by Tenant's contractors and
subcontractors, including, but not limited to, naming Landlord and the
Construction Manager as Additional Insureds.
(b) Prior to the
Commencement Date, any entry by Tenant in or on the Premises
shall be at Tenant's sole risk and shall be subject to all of terms,
covenants and the provisions of the Lease. Tenant's Installations shall be
completed free of all liens and encumbrances (copies of releases supplied
to
Landlord at Landlord's request without delay.)
(c) Prior to
soliciting bids from any contractor(s) for performance of any
work or installation of any materials or equipment that Tenant may desire
to have performed or installed in the Premises, Tenant shall first submit
to Landlord, for its approval or disapproval, the names of any such
contractor(s) and Tenant shall only obtain bids and enter into contracts
(for work or materials or equipment to be installed in the Premises) with
contractor(s) first approved, in writing, by Landlord. Tenant agrees that
in performing any work, the labor employed by Tenant or anyone performing
such work for or on behalf of Tenant shall always be harmonious and
compatible with the labor employed by Landlord
57
and/or any contractors or subcontractors of Landlord. Should such labor,
in Landlord's sole opinion, be incompatible, Landlord may require Tenant
to withdraw from the Premises immediately until Tenant takes possession
of the Premises.
(d) In the event Tenant or
any agent, visitor, guest, employee, subcontractor
or contractor of Tenant ("Persons Under Tenant's Control") shall enter upon
the Premises or any other part of the Building, Tenant agrees to indemnify
and save Landlord free and harmless from and against any and all claims
whatsoever arising out of said entry or any work performed by such Persons
Under Tenant's Control. Persons Under Tenant's Control shall comply with
the special rules, regulations and requirements of Building management for
the performance of work (including, without limitation, the requirement that
Tenant maintain worker's compensation, public liability and property
insurance coverages as Landlord may reasonably require). Persons Under
Tenant's Control shall coordinate their activities so as to avoid the
intrusion into or disruption of the operation of the Building and the
business operation of other tenants.
(e) As a condition
of Landlord's permitting Tenant to make any of Tenant's
Installations in the Premises, Landlord may require that Tenant agree with
Landlord on a fixed Commencement Date of this Lease (allowing a reasonable
time for the performance of Landlord's Work). If the parties cannot agree
upon a fixed Commencement Date, then Landlord may refuse permission for
Tenant to perform Tenant's Installations prior to the occurrence of the
Commencement Date.
(f) Only Landlord's
contractors shall be permitted to do any work on the
Building Systems.
