(the “ Property ”) is that approximately 13.1

paved and
landscaped areas, as depicted on Exhibit “A”
attached hereto, together with all existing beneficial easements
and appurtenances of record related thereto The square footage
figure for the Building, as recited in this
Section 1.04 , is approximate. Upon Substantial
Completion (as defined in Article Fourteen below) of
the Building Shell Improvements (defined in
Article Fourteen below), the architect of record shall,
for the benefit of both Landlord and Tenant, perform a final
measurement of the Building in accordance with the industry
standard “dripline” measurement method utilized for
similar buildings in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area and
certify the actual square footage of the Building for approval by
Landlord and Tenant. The lesser of (a) 160,000 or (b) the
square footage calculated by the architect of record and approved
by Landlord and Tenant will constitute the rentable square footage
of the Property under this Lease for all purposes, including
without limitation, the calculation of Base Rent. Consistent with
the above, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this
Lease setting forth the actual square footage of the Building and
confirming any necessary adjustment to the amount of monthly Base
Rent payable by Tenant, substantially in the form attached as
Exhibit “E” to this Lease. The Property is part
of a larger commercial development known as Majestic Airport Center
III, which is more particularly described on Exhibit
“A-1” attached hereto (the “ Project
”).
(a)
Lease Term : Ten (10) years and six
(6) months.
(b)
Lease Commencement Date : The Lease Commencement Date (as
defined in Section 2.01 below) of the initial Lease
Term shall be sixty (60) days following Substantial Completion
of the Building Shell Improvements, or January 1, 2010,
whichever is later. The date of Substantial Completion of the
Building Shell Improvements is estimated to be November 1,
2009 (the “ Estimated Building Shell Substantial
Completion Date ”); accordingly, the Lease Commencement
Date is estimated to be January 1, 2010. Upon determination of
the actual Lease Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall
promptly execute a Confirmation of Initial Lease Term and Amendment
to Lease, substantially in the form of that attached as Exhibit
“E” to this Lease.
(c)
Lease Expiration Date : The expiration date of the initial
Lease Term shall be the last day of the one hundred and
twenty-sixth (126th) calendar month following the month in which
the Lease Commencement Date falls.
Section 1.06.
Permitted Uses : (See Article Five ) Only for
research and development, manufacture and implementation of
therapeutics, and related warehousing, distribution, and office
administration. If a change of use is proposed, including any
change of use in connection with a proposed Transfer (defined
below), Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold, condition, or
delay its approval of such changed use so long as such changed use
(a) complies with the terms of Section 5.01 this
Lease and (b) is similar to other uses permitted by Landlord
in the Project, or is a use permitted by affiliates of Landlord in
like projects located in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan
area.

Notwithstanding
any language in this Lease to the contrary, if a rental adjustment
date specified in this Section 1.10(a) (or elsewhere in
this Lease) falls on a date other than the first day of a calendar
month, then such rental adjustment date shall be deemed to be the
first day of the calendar month immediately following the month in
which the rental adjustment date falls, and the amount of Base Rent
payable by Tenant under this Lease shall be adjusted effective as
of such later date; provided, however, that if any rent payable by
Tenant is abated at the beginning of the Lease Term, the above
language shall not lengthen such period of rent
abatement.
(b) OTHER
PERIODIC PAYMENTS: (i) Real Property Taxes (see
Section 4.02 below); (ii) Utilities (see
Section 4.03 below); (iii) Insurance Premiums (see
Section 4.04 below); (iv) maintenance services
(see Section 4.05 below); and (v) Maintenance,
Repairs and Alterations (see Article Six
below).
Section 2.01.
Lease of Property for Lease Term . The term of this Lease
(the “ Lease Term ”) shall be as set forth in
Section 1.05(a) above, shall commence on the date (the
“ Lease Commencement Date ”) set forth in
Section 1.05(b) above, and shall terminate on the date
(the “ Lease Expiration Date ”) set forth in
Section 1.05(c) above, unless sooner terminated or
extended as expressly provided in this Lease. The terms and
provisions of this Lease shall be effective as of the date of this
Lease, except for the provisions of this Lease relating to the
payment of Rent.
Section 2.02.
Delay in Commencement . Landlord shall not be liable to
Tenant if Landlord does not deliver possession of the Property to
Tenant on the Estimated Building Shell Substantial Completion Date.
Landlord’s non-delivery of the Property to Tenant on that
date shall not affect this Lease or the obligations of Tenant under
this Lease, except that (a) if the actual Building Shell
Substantial Completion Date does not occur by December 1, 2009
Tenant shall be entitled to the abatement of one (1) day of
Base Rent for each day of delay, and if the delay continues beyond
December 31, 2009, then Tenant shall be entitled to the
abatement of two (2) days of Base Rent for each day of delay
beyond such date, and (b) the Lease Commencement Date shall be
delayed until a date sixty (60) days following
Landlord’s delivery of possession of the Property to Tenant
(unless such delay is the result of a Tenant Delay, as defined in
Section 14.02 below) and the Lease Term shall be
extended for a period equal to the delay in delivery of full
possession of the Property to Tenant following Substantial
Completion of the Building Shell Improvements, plus the number of
days necessary to end the Lease Term on the last day of a month.
Subject to any Tenant Delay, if Landlord does not deliver
possession of the Property to Tenant within one hundred twenty
(120) days after December 1, 2009, Tenant may elect to
cancel and terminate this Lease by giving written notice to
Landlord within ten (10) days after the one hundred twenty
(120)-day period ends. If Tenant gives such notice, this Lease
shall be canceled and terminated, and neither Landlord nor Tenant
shall have any further obligations to the other, excepting only
those obligations which have accrued prior to or which expressly
survive termination of this Lease. If Tenant does not timely give
such notice, Tenant’s right to cancel and terminate this
Lease shall expire and the Lease Term shall commence sixty
(60) days following upon the delivery of possession of the
Property to Tenant. Consistent with the terms of
Section 1.05(b) above, Landlord and Tenant shall, upon
such delivery, execute an amendment to this Lease setting forth the
actual Lease Commencement Date and Lease Expiration Date,
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit
“E” to this Lease, which Tenant shall execute and
return to Landlord within five (5) days after receipt from
Landlord. Failure to execute such amendment shall not affect the
actual Lease Commencement Date and Lease Expiration Date. The
failure of Tenant to take possession of or to occupy the Property
shall not serve to relieve Tenant of any obligations arising on the
Lease Commencement Date, and shall not delay the payment of rent by
Tenant. Landlord shall be deemed to have delivered possession of
the Property to Tenant upon Substantial Completion of the Building
Shell Improvements and written notice to Tenant regarding the same,
regardless of whether Tenant actually takes possession of the
Property on such date. Tenant shall not be liable for payment of
any Additional Rent until the Lease Commencement Date.
Section 2.03.
Early Occupancy . Tenant shall have the right of early
occupancy of the Property on or about October 1, 2009, subject
to (a) full execution of this Lease, (b) Landlord’s
receipt of all deposits and the initial monthly

installment of
Base Rent, (c) Landlord’s and Tenant’s receipt of
any necessary governmental permits, approvals, or consents,
(d) Landlord’s prior written approval of Tenant’s
proposed schedule describing the timing and specific purpose of
Tenant’s early occupancy, and (e) all of the terms and
conditions of this Lease (including, but not limited to, the
insurance provisions of Section 4.04 below), with the
exception of the payment of Base Rent and Additional Rent. Such
early occupancy shall be for the sole purpose of constructing the
Tenant Improvements (defined in Article Fourteen below)
and preparing the Property for Tenant’s use, including the
installation of furnishings, furniture, and equipment. During such
period, Tenant shall assume all risk of loss to Tenant’s
equipment and other personal property. Tenant’s occupancy
during this period shall not interfere with construction of the
Building Shell Improvements by Landlord’s contractor, and in
the event Tenant’s occupancy does so interfere, Tenant agrees
to cease all construction or other activity until Landlord’s
contractor has completed its work. Tenant’s early occupancy
of the Property shall not advance the Lease Expiration
Date.
Section 2.04.
Holding Over . If Tenant holds over after the expiration of
the Lease Term hereof, with or without the express or implied
consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month
only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for
any further term, and in such case Base Rent shall be payable at a
monthly rate equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base
Rent applicable immediately before the expiration of the Lease
Term. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other
term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Nothing contained in
this Section 2.04 shall be construed as consent by
Landlord to any holding over by Tenant, and Landlord expressly
reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the
Property to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration
or other termination of this Lease. The provisions of this
Section 2.04 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute
a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided
herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Property upon
the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any
other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall
protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all
loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and
liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding
tenant founded upon such failure to surrender, and any damages
permitted under Section 10.08 below.
Section 2.05.
Options to Extend Lease Term.
(a)
Grant of Options . Landlord hereby grants to Tenant five
(5) options (the “ Options ”) to extend the
Lease Term for additional term(s) of five (5) years each (the
“ Extensions ”), on the same terms and
conditions as set forth in this Lease, but at an increased Base
Rent as set forth below and without any additional Option(s) other
than those granted in this Section 2.05 . Each Option
shall be exercised only by written notice delivered to Landlord not
less than one (1) year before the expiration of the initial
Lease Term or the preceding Extension of the Lease Term,
respectively. If Tenant fails to deliver Landlord written notice of
the exercise of an Option within the prescribed time period, such
Option and any succeeding Options shall lapse, and there shall be
no further right to extend the Lease Term. Each Option shall be
exercisable by Tenant on the express conditions that (a) at
the time of the exercise, and at all times thereafter and prior to
the commencement of such Extension, no Event of Default on the part
of Tenant shall exist, and (b) Tenant has not been ten
(10) or more days late in the payment of recurring Rent more
than a total of five (5) times during the initial Lease Term
and all preceding Extensions. Following Tenant’s timely and
valid exercise of an Option, Landlord shall prepare and Tenant
shall execute and deliver to Landlord an amendment to this Lease
confirming the term of the Extension and the amount of Base Rent
payable by Tenant during such Extension.
(b)
Personal Options . The Options are personal to the Tenant
named in Section 1.03 of this Lease (the “ Original
Tenant ”) or any Tenant Affiliate (described in
Section 9.07 of this Lease) of the Original Tenant or a
Tenant Affiliate within a series of Tenant Affiliates of the
Original Tenant. If Tenant subleases any portion of the Property or
assigns any interest under this Lease to an entity other than such
a Tenant Affiliate prior to the exercise of an Option (whether with
or without Landlord’s consent), then such Option and any
succeeding Options shall lapse. If Tenant subleases any portion of
the Property or assigns any interest of Tenant under this Lease to
an entity other than such a Tenant Affiliate after the exercise of
an Option but prior to the commencement of the respective Extension
(whether with or without Landlord’s consent), then such
Option and any succeeding Options shall lapse and the Lease Term
shall expire as if such Option were not exercised. If Tenant
subleases any portion of the Property or assigns any interest of
Tenant under this Lease to an entity other than such a Tenant
Affiliate after the exercise of an Option and after the
commencement of the Extension related to such Option, then the term
of this Lease shall expire upon the expiration of the Extension
during which such sublease or transfer occurred and only the
succeeding Options shall lapse.
(c)
Time of Essence . Time is of the essence with respect to
Tenant’s exercise of the Options granted in this
Section 2.05 .

(d)
Calculation of Rent . The Base Rent during the Extensions
shall be determined as follows:
(1)
Fixed Adjustment or CPI Increase . The Base Rent for the
first Extension shall be an amount equal to the greater of: Five
and 13/100 Dollars ($5.13) per rentable square foot per year or the
amount of Base Rent determined in accordance with
Section 3.02 below. The Base Rent for the second
Extension shall be an amount equal to the greater of: Five and
74/100 Dollars ($5.74) per rentable square foot per year or the
amount of Base Rent determined in accordance with
Section 3.02 below. These amounts are only for the
Property and the initial Building and do not include the Base Rent
payable on account of Tenant’s exercise of the Expansion
Option (defined below).
(2)
Fair Rental Value Adjustment . The Base Rent shall be
increased on the first day of the first month of the third, fourth,
and fifth Extensions of the Lease Term (each a “ FRV
Rental Adjustment Date ”) to the lesser of (a) one
hundred fifteen percent (115%) of the Base Rent in effect
immediately prior to the applicable FRV Rental Adjustment Date, and
(b) ninety-five percent (95%) of the “fair rental
value” of the Base Building Shell Improvements (as defined in
Article Fourteen below) and the related land (but excluding
the Building Modifications (as defined in
Article Fourteen below) and the Tenant Improvements),
determined in the following manner:
(i) Not
later than one hundred (100) days prior to any applicable FRV
Rental Adjustment Date, Landlord and Tenant shall meet in an effort
to negotiate, in good faith, the fair rental value of the Property
as of such FRV Rental Adjustment Date. If Landlord and Tenant have
not agreed upon the fair rental value of the Property at least
ninety (90) days prior to the applicable FRV Rental Adjustment
Date, the fair rental value shall be determined by appraisal, using
brokers (as provided below).
(ii) If
Landlord and Tenant are not able to agree upon the fair rental
value of the Property within the prescribed time period, then
Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree in good faith upon a
single broker, as indicated above, not later than seventy-five
(75) days prior to the applicable FRV Rental Adjustment Date.
If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon a single broker
within such time period, then Landlord and Tenant shall each
appoint one broker, not later than sixty-five (65) days prior
to the applicable FRV Rental Adjustment Date. Within (10) days
thereafter, the two appointed brokers shall appoint a third broker.
If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint its broker within the
prescribed time period, the single broker appointed shall determine
the fair rental value of the Property. If both parties fail to
appoint brokers within the prescribed time periods, then the first
broker thereafter selected by a party shall determine the fair
rental value of the Property. Each party shall bear the cost of its
own broker and the parties shall share equally the cost of the
single or third broker, if applicable. The brokers used shall have
at least five (5) years’ experience in the sales and
leasing of commercial/industrial real property in the area in which
the Property is located and shall be members of professional
organizations such as the Society of Industrial Realtors, NAIOP, or
their equivalent.
(iii) For
the purposes of such appraisal, the term “fair rental
value” shall mean the price that a ready and willing tenant
would pay, as of the applicable FRV Rental Adjustment Date, as
monthly rent to a ready and willing landlord of property comparable
to the Base Building Shell Improvements and the related land if
such property were exposed for lease on the open market for a
reasonable period of time and taking into account all of the
purposes for which such property may be used. If a single broker is
chosen, then such broker shall determine the fair rental value of
the Property. Otherwise, the fair rental value of the Property
shall be the arithmetic average of the two (2) of the three
(3) appraisals which are closest in amount, and the third
appraisal shall be disregarded. In no event, however, shall
(a) the Base Rent be reduced by reason of such computation, or
(b) the Base Rent be greater than one hundred fifteen percent
(115%) of the Base Rent payable immediately prior to the applicable
FRV Rental Adjustment Date. Landlord and Tenant shall instruct the
broker(s) to complete their determination of the fair rental value
not later than thirty (30) days prior to the applicable FRV
Rental Adjustment Date. If the fair rental value is not determined
prior to the applicable FRV Rental Adjustment Date, then Tenant
shall continue to pay to Landlord the Base Rent applicable to the
Property immediately prior to such Extension, until the fair rental
value is determined. When the fair rental value of the Property is
determined, Landlord shall deliver notice thereof to Tenant, and
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after
receipt of such notice, the difference between the Base Rent
actually paid by Tenant to Landlord and the new Base Rent
determined hereunder.
Section 3.01.
Time and Manner of Payment. Upon Tenant’s execution of this
Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord monthly Base Rent in the amount
stated in Section 1.10(a) above for the seventh month
of the Lease Term. On the first day of the eighth month of the
Lease Term and each month thereafter, Tenant shall pay Landlord the
monthly Base

Rent, in
advance, without offset, recoupment, deduction or prior demand,
except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease. The Base Rent
shall be payable at Landlord’s address or at such other place
as Landlord may designate in writing. The term “ Lease
Month ” shall mean each consecutive calendar month during
the Lease Term (including any partial calendar month at the
inception of the Lease Term), with the first Lease Month commencing
on the Lease Commencement Date. For purposes of this Lease, the
term “ Lease Year ” shall mean, with respect to
the first Lease Year, the period commencing on the Lease
Commencement Date and ending on the last day of the twelfth
(12 th
) calendar month following the month
in which the Lease Commencement Date falls (unless the Lease
Commencement Date falls on the first day of a calendar month, in
which case the first Lease Year will end on the last day of the
twelfth (12 th )
Lease Month), and with respect to subsequent Lease Years, each
consecutive twelve (12) month period during the Lease Term
following the first Lease Year. If the Lease Commencement Date is a
day other than the first day of a calendar month, then (a) the
Lease Term shall include the number of months stated (or the number
of months included within the number of years stated) in
Section 1.05 above, plus the partial Lease Month in
which the Lease Commencement Date falls, and (b) the Base Rent
and Additional Rent for such partial Lease Month shall be prorated
based on the number of days in such calendar month.
Section 3.02.
Cost of Living Increases. At the rental adjustment intervals
described in Section 2.05(d)(1) of this Lease, the Base
Rent shall be increased in accordance with the increase in the
United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (all items for the
geographical Statistical Area in which the Property is located on
the basis of 1982-1984=100) (the “ Index ”) as
follows (assuming that the determination of Base Rent resulting
from the use of the Index results in a higher Base Rent than the
applicable fixed Base Rent specified in
Section 2.05(d)(1) ):
(a) The
Base Rent (the “ Comparison Base Rent ”) in
effect immediately before each applicable Extension shall be
increased by the percentage that the Index has increased from the
date (the “ Comparison Date ”) on which payment
of the Comparison Base Rent began through the month in which the
applicable Extension begins. The Base Rent shall not be reduced by
reason of such computation. If the new Base Rent determined in this
manner is higher than the applicable fixed Base Rent specified in
Section 2.05(d)(1) above, Landlord shall notify Tenant
of the amount of such higher Base Rent amount by a written
statement which shall include the Index for the applicable
Comparison Date, the Index for the applicable Extension
commencement date, the percentage increase between those two
Indices, and the new Base Rent.
(b) Tenant
shall pay the new Base Rent from the applicable Extension
commencement date until the next Extension commencement date.
Landlord’s notice may be given after the applicable Extension
commencement date of the increase, and Tenant shall pay Landlord
the accrued rental adjustment for the months elapsed between the
effective date of the increase and Landlord’s notice of such
increase within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s
notice. If the format or components of the Index are materially
changed after the Lease Commencement Date, Landlord shall
substitute an index which is published by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics or similar agency and which is most nearly equivalent to
the Index in effect on the Lease Commencement Date. The substitute
index shall be used to calculate the increase in the Base Rent
unless Tenant objects to such index in writing within fifteen
(15) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice of such
change. If Tenant objects, Landlord and Tenant shall submit the
selection of the substitute index for binding arbitration in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the American
Arbitration Association at its office closest to the Property. The
costs of arbitration shall be borne equally by Landlord and
Tenant.
Section 3.03.
Security Deposit ; Supplemental Security Deposit
.
(a) Upon
Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with
Landlord a cash Security Deposit in the amount set forth in
Section 1.07 above. Landlord may apply all or part of
the Security Deposit to any Event of Default arising from any
unpaid rent or other charges due from Tenant or to cure any other
Events of Default of Tenant. If Landlord uses any part of the
Security Deposit, Tenant shall restore the Security Deposit to its
full amount within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s
written request. Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a
material default under this Lease. No interest shall be paid on the
Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to keep the
Security Deposit separate from its other accounts and no trust
relationship is created with respect to the Security
Deposit.
(b) Upon
Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord (as beneficiary), an irrevocable standby letter of credit
(the “ Letter of Credit ”), substantially in the
form of that attached as Exhibit “J” to this
Lease, which shall serve as a supplemental Security Deposit (the
“ Supplemental Security Deposit ”).
The Letter of
Credit shall be, among other things:

(i) subject
to and governed by the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary
Credits, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600
(2007 Revision);
(ii) irrevocable
and unconditional;
(iii) in
the amount of Two Hundred Ten Thousand Eight Hundred Sixty-one and
20/100 Dollars ($210,861.20);
(iv) conditioned
for payment solely upon presentation of the Letter of Credit, a
sight draft, and a written statement from Landlord that the amount
to be drawn is due and owing to Landlord under the terms of this
Lease; and
(v) transferable
one or more times by Landlord without the consent of
Tenant.
Tenant, on or
before the first day of Lease Month 7 shall deliver to Landlord (as
beneficiary) a second Letter of Credit identical to the first
described above and both letters of credit shall be referred to
collectively below as the “Letter of
Credit.”
Tenant
acknowledges and agrees that it shall pay upon Landlord’s
demand, as Additional Rent, any and all costs or fees charged in
connection with the Letter of Credit that arise due to
Landlord’s sale or transfer of all or a portion of the
Property following the expiration of the Purchase Option (defined
below).
The Letter of
Credit shall be issued by a commercial bank or trust company
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, having offices (or a
confirming bank) at which the Letter of Credit may be drawn upon in
Los Angeles, California, and having a Moody’s rating of at
least “A-3” (or other comparable rating).
The Letter of
Credit shall expire not earlier than twelve (12) months after
the date of delivery thereof to Landlord, and shall provide that
the same shall be automatically renewed for successive twelve
(12)-month periods through a date which is not earlier than sixty
(60) days after the expiration date of this Lease, or any
renewal or extension thereof, unless written notice of nonrenewal
has been given by the issuing bank to Landlord by certified mail,
return receipt requested, not less than sixty (60) days prior
to the expiration of the current period. If the issuing bank does
not renew the Letter of Credit, and if Tenant does not deliver a
substitute Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) days prior to
the expiration of the current period, then, in addition to its
rights granted under this Section 3.03 above, Landlord
shall have the right to draw on the existing Letter of
Credit.
Landlord may use,
apply, or retain the proceeds of the Letter of Credit to the same
extent that Landlord may use, apply, or retain the cash security
deposit, as set forth above in this Section 3.03 .
Landlord may draw on the Letter of Credit, in whole or in part,
from time to time, at Landlord’s election; and if Landlord
partially draws down the Letter of Credit, Tenant shall, within
fifteen (15) days after Landlord gives Tenant notice thereof,
restore all amounts drawn by Landlord, or substitute cash security
instead.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 3.03 , if no
Event of Default exists under this Lease and provided that Tenant
has not at any time during the term of this Lease instituted any
litigation seeking to enjoin the issuing bank from paying on the
Letter of Credit, upon Tenant’s receipt of final approval
from the Food and Drug Administration for U.S. licensure for
PROVENGE (the “ Triggering Event ”),
Landlord’s right to draw on the Letter of Credit shall
automatically terminate upon such Triggering Event and Landlord
shall return the original the Letter of Credit to Tenant within
five (5) business days following Tenant’s written demand
made at any time following the Triggering Event, and Tenant shall
have no further obligation to provide Landlord with the
Supplemental Security Deposit.
Tenant hereby
agrees to cooperate with Landlord to promptly execute and deliver
to Landlord any and all modifications, amendments, and replacements
of the Letter of Credit, as Landlord may reasonably request to
carry out the terms and conditions of this Section 3.03
.
Section 3.04.
Application of Payments . Unless otherwise designated by
Landlord in its sole discretion, all payments received by Landlord
from Tenant shall be applied to the oldest payment obligation owed
by Tenant to Landlord. No designation by Tenant, either in a
separate writing or on a check or money order, shall modify this
section or have any force or effect.

Section 3.05.
Termination; Advance Payments . Upon termination of this
Lease under Article Seven (Damage or Destruction) of this
Lease, or under Article Eight (Condemnation) of this
Lease, or any other termination not resulting from Tenant’s
default, and after Tenant has vacated the Property in the manner
required by this Lease, Landlord shall, within sixty (60) days
thereafter refund or credit to Tenant (or Tenant’s successor)

ARTICLE FOUR OTHER CHARGES PAYABLE
BY TENANT
|
|
|
Section 4.01.
Additional Rent . All charges payable by Tenant other than
Base Rent are called “ Additional Rent .” Unless
this Lease provides otherwise, Tenant shall pay all Additional Rent
then due within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s
receipt of an invoice therefor, together with reasonably
satisfactory supporting documentation, if applicable. The term
“ rent ” or “ Rent ” shall
mean Base Rent and Additional Rent. Without limitation on other
obligations of Tenant that shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease Term, the obligations of Tenant to pay the
Additional Rent provided for in this Article Four shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.
The failure of Landlord to timely furnish Tenant the amount of the
Additional Rent shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its
rights to collect such Additional Rent.
Section 4.02.
Property Taxes .
(a)
Real Property Taxes . Tenant shall pay all Real Property
Taxes on the Property (including any fees, taxes or assessments
against, or as a result of, any tenant improvements installed on
the Property by or for the benefit of Tenant) during the Lease
Term. Subject to Section 4.02(c) and
Section 4.08 below, such payment shall be made at least
ten (10) days prior to the delinquency date of such taxes.
Within such ten (10)-day period, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with
satisfactory evidence that the Real Property Taxes have been paid.
Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for any Real Property Taxes paid by
Tenant covering any period of time before or after the Lease Term.
Alternatively, Landlord may elect to bill Tenant in advance for
such taxes and Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of such taxes,
as Additional Rent, at least ten (10) days prior to the
delinquency date of such taxes. Landlord shall pay such taxes prior
to such delinquency date, provided Tenant has timely made payment
to Landlord. Any penalty caused by Tenant’s failure to timely
make such payments shall also be Additional Rent owed by Tenant
immediately upon demand.
(b)
Definition of “Real Property Tax.” “
Real Property Tax ” means: (i) any fee, license
fee, license tax, business license fee, commercial rental tax,
levy, charge, assessment, penalty or tax imposed by any taxing
authority against the Property; (ii) any tax on the
Landlord’s right to receive, or the receipt of, rent or
income from the Property or against Landlord’s business of
leasing the Property; (iii) any tax or charge for fire
protection, streets, sidewalks, road maintenance, refuse or other
services provided to the Property by any governmental agency;
(iv) any tax imposed upon this transaction or based upon a
re-assessment of the Property due to a change of ownership, as
defined by applicable law, or other transfer of all or part of
Landlord’s interest in the Property; and (v) any charge
or fee replacing any tax previously included within the definition
of Real Property Tax. “Real Property Tax” does not,
however, include Landlord’s federal or state income,
franchise, inheritance or estate taxes.
(c)
Joint Assessment; Tenant’s Share . As of the date of
this Lease, the Property is not separately assessed, but Landlord
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Property
separately assessed. While the Property is not separately assessed,
Landlord shall reasonably determine Tenant’s share of the
Real Property Taxes payable by Tenant under
Section 4.02(a) above from the assessor’s
worksheets or other reasonably available information.
(d)
Personal Property Taxes .
(i) Tenant
shall pay all taxes charged against trade fixtures, furnishings,
equipment or any other personal property belonging to Tenant.
Tenant shall diligently pursue the separate assessment of such
personal property, so that it is taxed separately from the
Property.
(ii) If
any of Tenant’s personal property is taxed with the Property,
Tenant shall pay Landlord the taxes for the personal property
within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives a written
statement from Landlord for such personal property taxes, but in no
event earlier than fifteen days prior to the date such personal
property taxes would be past due if not previously paid.

(e)
Real Property Tax Abatement . Landlord and Tenant
acknowledge and agree that (i) Landlord has entered into a
Memorandum of Agreement with the Fulton County Tax Assessor with
respect to the valuation of the leasehold interest of Landlord in
and to the Building, and anticipates completion, at
Landlord’s sole cost and expense, of a taxable development
bond financing arrangement (the “ Tax Abatement
Process ”) with the Development Authority of Fulton
County, a public body corporate and politic of the State of Georgia
(the “ Development Authority ”), whereby the
Building (but not the underlying land) is expected to receive
favorable ad valorem real property tax treatment in calendar years
2010 through 2020 with respect to Fulton County, Georgia, ad
valorem taxes, and (ii) Tenant shall receive all of the actual tax
reduction, rebate or abatement (the “ Tax Savings
”) relating to the Property during the Lease Term, provided
that Tenant’s Tax Savings during any partial calendar year
during the Lease Term shall be prorated by multiplying the Tax
Savings by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days
in the Term of this Lease in such partial calendar year and the
denominator of which is 365. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that
any actual Tax Savings available to Tenant during the Lease Term is
subject to, and will only be available to the extent permitted by,
Applicable Law.
(f)
Optional Lease, Rent and Tax Abatement for Equipment .
Subject to Applicable Law and the Development Authority’s
choice to participate (which choice is within the Development
Authority’s sole discretion), at Tenant’s written
request Landlord shall initiate the Tax Abatement Process with the
Development Authority whereby Tenant’s equipment and other
personal property at the Property may receive prospective favorable
ad valorem personal property tax treatment with respect to Fulton
County, Georgia, ad valorem taxes (the “ Equipment Tax
Savings ”). Subject to Applicable Law and the Development
Authority’s choice to participate in this Tax Abatement
Process (which choice is within the Development Authority’s
sole discretion), Tenant shall receive all of the actual Equipment
Tax Savings related to any equipment or other personal property
designated by Tenant for inclusion in such Tax Abatement Process
(the “ Equipment ”), and Landlord shall enter
into a Lease Agreement with the Development Authority (the “
Lease Agreement ”) which permits Landlord, on
Tenant’s behalf, to include the Equipment in such Tax
Abatement Process. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to enter into
an Agreement to Provide Bill of Sale and related agreements with
respect to the Equipment, as may be required by the Development
Authority to provide favorable tax treatment for the Equipment
(collectively, the “ Equipment Agreement ”).
Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Equipment shall be subject
to the rights and obligations under the Lease Agreement and the
Equipment Agreement. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord (within
30 days following Landlord’s written demand) for the
actual out-of-pocket costs, if any, incurred after the date of this
Lease by Landlord in obtaining the Equipment Tax Savings pertaining
to the Equipment, including, without limitation, the
attorneys’ fees and other costs of legal counsel. Tenant
acknowledges and agrees that any actual Equipment Tax Savings
available to Tenant during the Lease Term is subject to, and will
only be available to the extent permitted by, Applicable
Law.
(g)
Opportunity Zone . Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the
Property is located within an area of Fulton County, Georgia
designated by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs as an
“Opportunity Zone” and that this designation allows
Tenant to receive certain incentives, in the form of tax credits,
to locate its business at the Property. Subject to the satisfaction
of certain conditions, this designation is valid for tax years 2009
through 2019. As and when reasonably requested in writing by
Tenant, Landlord agrees to cooperate with Tenant, as needed and at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to enable Tenant to take
advantage of the benefits associated with the operation of a
business in such an Opportunity Zone.
Section 4.03.
Utilities . Tenant shall pay, directly to the appropriate
supplier, the cost of all natural gas, heat, light, power, sewer
service, telephone, fiber optic, cable or other telecommunications
or data delivery services, water, refuse disposal and other
utilities and services supplied to the Property. Tenant
acknowledges and agrees that (1) this Lease is entirely
separate and distinct from and independent of any and all
agreements that Tenant may at any time enter into with any third
party for the provision of utility services or any other services,
and (2) Landlord has no obligation of any kind concerning the
provision of any such services. Provided that Landlord fulfills its
maintenance, repair, and replacement obligations with respect to
the Property as expressly provided in this Lease, Landlord shall
not be liable for any failure to furnish, stoppage of, or
interruption in furnishing any of the services or utilities
described in this Section 4.03 , when such failure is
caused by accident, breakage, repairs, strikes, lockouts, labor
disputes, labor disturbances, governmental regulation, civil
disturbances, terrorist acts, acts of war, moratorium or other
governmental action, or any other cause beyond Landlord’s
reasonable control, and, in such event, Tenant shall not be
entitled to any damages nor shall any failure or interruption abate
or suspend Tenant’s obligation to pay rent as required under
this Lease or constitute or be construed as a constructive or other
eviction of Tenant. Further, in the event any governmental
authority or public utility promulgates or revises any law,
ordinance, rule or regulation, or issues mandatory controls or
voluntary controls relating to the use or conservation of energy,
water, gas, light or electricity, the reduction of automobile or
other emissions, or the provision of any other utility or service,
Landlord may take any reasonably appropriate action to comply with
such law, ordinance, rule,

regulation,
mandatory control or voluntary guideline without affecting
Tenant’s obligations under this Lease (and in case of any
voluntary guidelines, without adversely affecting Tenant’s
use and occupancy of the Property and without materially increasing
Tenant’s occupancy costs). Tenant recognizes that security
services, if any, provided by Landlord at the Building are for the
protection of Landlord’s property and under no circumstances
shall Landlord be responsible for, and Tenant waives any rights
with respect to, providing security or other protection for Tenant
or its employees, invitees or property in or about the Property or
the Building. Subject to the applicable terms and provisions of
this Lease, Tenant may prepare and implement its own security plan
for the Property.
Section 4.04.
Insurance Policies .
(a)
Liability Insurance . During the Lease Term, Tenant, at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall maintain a policy of
commercial general liability insurance (or its equivalent) insuring
Tenant against liability for bodily injury, property damage
(including loss of use of property) and personal injury arising out
of the operation, use or occupancy of the Property. Tenant shall
name Landlord (and any affiliate of Landlord designated by
Landlord) as an additional insured under such policy, and Tenant
shall provide Landlord with an appropriate “additional
insured” endorsement to Tenant’s liability insurance
policy (in a form acceptable to Landlord) not less than ten (10)
business days prior to Tenant’s occupancy of the Property.
The initial amount of such insurance shall be Three Million Dollars
($3,000,000.00) per occurrence and shall be subject to periodic
increase based upon inflation, increased liability awards,
recommendation of Landlord’s professional insurance advisors
and other relevant factors. The liability insurance obtained by
Tenant under this Section 4.04(a) : shall (i) be
primary and non-contributing; (ii) contain a “separation
of insureds” clause (or equivalent); (iii) contain
contractual liability coverage respecting Tenant’s indemnity
obligations under Section 5.05 below; and (iv) not
have a deductible amount in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars
($10,000.00). The amount and coverage of such insurance shall not
limit Tenant’s liability nor relieve Tenant of any other
obligation under this Lease. Landlord may also obtain commercial
general liability insurance in an amount and with coverage
determined by Landlord, insuring Landlord against liability arising
out of ownership, operation, use or occupancy of the Property. The
policy obtained by Landlord shall not be contributory and shall not
provide primary insurance.
(b)
Property and Rental Income Insurance . During the Lease
Term, Landlord shall maintain policies of insurance covering loss
of or damage to the Property in the full amount of its replacement
value, with such policies providing protection against loss or
damage due to fire or other casualties covered within the
classification of fire, extended coverage, vandalism, malicious
mischief, sprinkler leakage and any other perils which Landlord,
Landlord’s lender or ground lessor deems reasonably
necessary. Landlord shall have the right to obtain terrorism, flood
and earthquake insurance and other forms of insurance as required
by any lender holding a security interest in the Property or any
ground lessor. Landlord shall not obtain insurance for
Tenant’s fixtures or equipment or building improvements
installed by Tenant on the Property. During the Lease Term,
Landlord shall also maintain a rental income insurance policy, with
loss payable to Landlord, in an amount equal to one year’s
Base Rent, plus estimated Real Property Taxes and insurance
premiums. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall maintain (at its sole
cost and expense) policies of insurance covering loss of or damage
to Tenant’s fixtures, equipment, and building improvements
installed by Tenant on the Property (including, without limitation,
the Tenant Improvements) in the full amount of their replacement
value, with such policies providing protection against loss or
damage due to fire or other casualties covered within the
classification of fire, extended coverage, vandalism, malicious
mischief, sprinkler leakage and any other perils which Tenant deems
necessary. Such policies shall contain an agreed amount endorsement
in lieu of a co-insurance clause, and shall be written as primary
policies, not contributing with and not supplemental to the
property insurance coverage that Landlord is required to carry
pursuant to this Section 4.04(b) . Tenant shall be
liable for the payment of any deductible amount under
Landlord’s insurance policies (which deductible amount shall
not exceed $10,000.00) maintained pursuant to this Section
4.04(b) ; provided, however, that if the loss or damage is due
to an act or omission of Landlord, then Tenant shall not be
responsible for payment of any such deductible amount. Tenant shall
also be responsible for payment of any deductible amount under
Tenant’s insurance policies. Tenant shall not do or permit
anything to be done which invalidates any such insurance
policies.
(c)
Payment of Premiums . Subject to Section 4.08
below, Tenant shall pay all premiums for the insurance policies
described in Sections 4.04(a) and (b) above (whether
obtained by Landlord or Tenant) within thirty (30) days after
Tenant’s receipt of a copy of the premium statement or other
evidence of amount due, except Landlord shall pay all premiums for
non-primary commercial general liability insurance which Landlord
elects to obtain as provided in Section 4.04(a) above;
provided, however, that Tenant shall not be responsible for the
payment of insurance premiums covering any period extending beyond
the Lease Term. If insurance policies maintained by Landlord cover
improvements on real property other than the Property, Landlord
shall deliver to Tenant a statement of the premium applicable to
the Property

showing in
reasonable detail how Tenant’s share of the premium was
computed. If the Lease Term expires before the expiration of an
insurance policy maintained by Landlord, Tenant shall be liable for
Tenant’s prorated share of the insurance premiums. Subject to
the provisions of Section 2.03 above, prior to the
Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of
any policy of insurance which Tenant is required to maintain under
this Section 4.04 . At least thirty (30) days
prior to the expiration of any such policy, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord a renewal of such policy. As an alternative to providing a
policy of insurance, Tenant shall have the right to provide
Landlord a certificate of insurance (in form acceptable to
Landlord) executed by an authorized officer or agent of the
insurance company, certifying that the insurance which Tenant is
required to maintain under this Section 4.04 is in full
force and effect and containing such other information which
Landlord reasonably requires. Upon Tenant’s written request,
Landlord shall provide Tenant with a certificate of property
insurance confirming that Landlord has obtained the property
insurance required of Landlord under this Lease.
(d)
General Insurance Provisions .
(i) Any
insurance that Tenant is required to maintain under this Lease
shall include a provision that requires the insurance carrier to
give or endeavor to give Landlord not less than thirty
(30) days’ written notice prior to any cancellation or
material modification of such coverage (i.e., a modification
resulting in a decrease in the limits or types of coverage required
under this Lease), including the cancellation or material
modification of any required endorsements.
(ii) If
Tenant fails to deliver any policy, certificate or renewal to
Landlord required under this Lease within the prescribed time
period or if any such policy is canceled or modified during the
Lease Term without Landlord’s consent, Landlord may obtain
such insurance for Landlord’s sole benefit (but is under no
obligation to do so), in which case Tenant shall reimburse Landlord
for the cost of such insurance within thirty (30) days after
receipt of a statement that indicates the cost of such insurance.
If Tenant fails to carry the required insurance, such failure shall
automatically be deemed to be a covenant by Tenant to self-insure
such required coverage, with a full waiver of subrogation in favor
of Landlord (in the case of deemed self-insurance of Tenant’s
required property insurance).
(iii) Landlord
and Tenant shall maintain all insurance required under this Lease
with companies duly authorized to issue insurance policies in the
State in which the Property is located and holding a Financial
Strength Rating of “A-” or better, and a Financial Size
Category of “VII” or larger, based on the most recent
published ratings of the A.M. Best Company. Landlord and Tenant
acknowledge the insurance markets are rapidly changing and that
insurance in the form and amounts described in this
Section 4.04 may not be available in the future. Tenant
acknowledges that the insurance described in this
Section 4.04 is for the primary benefit of Landlord. If
at any time during the Lease Term, Tenant is unable to maintain the
insurance required under this Lease, Tenant shall nevertheless
maintain insurance coverage which is customary and commercially
reasonable in the insurance industry for Tenant’s type of
business, as that coverage may change from time to time. Landlord
makes no representation as to the adequacy of such insurance to
protect Landlord’s or Tenant’s interests. If Tenant
believes that any such insurance coverage is inadequate, Tenant
shall obtain any such additional property or liability insurance
which Tenant deems necessary to protect Landlord and
Tenant.
(iv) Unless
prohibited under any applicable insurance policies maintained and
notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord
and Tenant each hereby waives any and all rights of recovery
against the other, or against the members, managers, officers,
employees, agents or representatives of the other(whether such
right of recovery arises from a claim based on negligence or
otherwise), for loss of or damage to its property or the property
of others under its control, if such loss or damage is covered by
any insurance policy in force (whether or not described in this
Lease) at the time of such loss or damage. Upon obtaining the
required policies of insurance, Landlord and Tenant shall give
notice to the insurance carriers of this mutual waiver of
subrogation.
(v) Tenant
shall not do or permit to be done any act or thing upon the
Property or the Project which would (a) jeopardize or be in
conflict with the property insurance policies covering the Project
or fixtures or property in the Project; (b) increase the rate
of property insurance applicable to the Project to an amount higher
than it otherwise would be for general office and warehouse use of
the Project; or (c) subject Landlord to any liability or
responsibility for injury to any person or persons or to property
by reason of any business or operation being conducted at the
Property.
(vi) Tenant
shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep in full force and effect
during the Lease Term the following additional coverage:
(1) workers’ compensation insurance as required by state
law; (2) employer’s

liability
insurance, with a limit of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), each
accident, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) policy limit, and One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000) each employee for all persons employed
by Tenant who may come onto or occupy the Property; (3) commercial
auto liability insurance with a limit of One Million Dollars
($1,000,000) aggregate limit for bodily injury and property damage,
including owned, non-owned, and hired auto liability coverage for
such vehicles driven on and around the Property (if Tenant does not
own company vehicles, a letter to that effect from an officer or
principal of Tenant, in addition to proof of non-owned and hired
auto liability coverage is required); (4) “Causes of Loss
— Special Form” (or equivalent) personal property
insurance, covering Tenant’s personal property, whether
owned, leased, or rented, including but not limited to trade
fixtures, furniture, equipment, office contents, any interior
improvements constructed within the Property and any alterations to
the Property made by Tenant; and (5) to the extent that Tenant
constructs or develops any improvements in or on the Property,
which according to the terms and conditions of this Lease shall
become property of Landlord at the termination thereof, Tenant
shall also provide “Causes of Loss — Special
Form” (or equivalent) property coverage on a replacement cost
basis.
(vii) If
Tenant carries any of the liability insurance required hereunder in
the form of a blanket policy, any certificate required hereunder
shall make specific reference to the Property; provided, however,
the blanket policy carried with respect to the insurance required
by Tenant hereunder shall contain a “per location”
endorsement assuring that any aggregate limit under such blanket
policy shall apply separately to the Property and that the insurer
thereunder shall provide written notice to Landlord if the
available portion of such aggregate is reduced to less than the
minimum amounts required under Section 4.04(a) above by
either payment of claims or the establishment of reserves for
claims (in which case Tenant shall be obligated to take immediate
steps to increase the amount of its insurance coverage in order to
satisfy the minimum requirements set forth in
Section 4.04(a) above).
Section 4.05.
Maintenance Services . Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 6.03 and Section 6.04 below,
Landlord shall maintain, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense,
the following with respect to the Property: (i) the
landscaping (including without limiting to gardening, tree
trimming, replacement or repair of landscaping, landscape
irrigation systems, gopher control and similar items);
(ii) the ESFR fire system; (iii) pump (including testing,
monitoring and servicing); (iv) association dues;
(v) site lighting and utilities (including, without
limitation, utility charges for landscape watering, lighting and
telephone line for the above-referenced fire system); and
(vi) sweeping, cleaning, repairing, resurfacing and repaving
of driveways, parking areas, yard areas, loading areas and other
outdoor paved or covered surfaces and/or roads. In connection with
Landlord’s obligations under this Section 4.05 ,
Landlord may enter into a contract with a third party
contractor/maintenance provider of Landlord’s choice to
provide some (but not necessarily all) of the maintenance services
listed above. Landlord shall have the right to collect from Tenant,
as Additional Rent, a management fee (not to exceed two percent
(2%) of the Base Rent) for managing the Property. Landlord shall
also have the right to collect from Tenant, as Additional Rent, the
costs incurred by Landlord for roof replacement, exterior painting,
and the resurfacing and repaving of the Property’s parking
lot and driveway, and in case of those items constituting capital
expenditures (such as roof replacement), the cost of such
replacement shall be amortized on a straight-line basis with
interest at the rate of seven percent (7%) per annum over the
useful life of the item, as reasonably determined by Landlord using
generally accepted accounting principles, and Tenant shall only be
liable for monthly amortization payments representing that portion
of the cost which is applicable to the remaining Lease Term (as it
may be extended). Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent,
within thirty (30) days after demand, the cost for the
above-referenced maintenance services that are beyond the scope of
the services covered by the Monthly Maintenance Fee (defined
below). Tenant agrees to pay monthly to Landlord, as Additional
Rent, an amount which is currently One Thousand Nine Hundred
Thirty-eight and 06/100 Dollars ($1,938.06) (the “ Monthly
Maintenance Fee ”), for the routine landscaping and
sweeping and cleaning of the Property’s outdoor paved areas.
Tenant shall make such payment together with Tenant’s monthly
Base Rent payment, without the necessity of notice from Landlord.
It is the understanding of the parties that the Monthly Maintenance
Fee only pertains to routine duties and that Landlord may incur
similar expenses in addition to the Monthly Maintenance Fee in
meeting its obligations set forth above. Landlord agrees that the
recurring maintenance fees and operating costs of the Property
(excluding uncontrollable costs such as those costs relating to
taxes, insurance, and utilities) payable by Tenant under this Lease
shall not increase by more than ten percent (10%) per year on a
cumulative, compounded basis during the Lease Term. Landlord agrees
to provide and/or manage the maintenance services in a professional
manner on a reasonably cost efficient basis, to competitively bid
out any major contracts (i.e., those contracts in excess of $25,000
per year) and to pass through such costs directly to Tenant without
mark up (except for the allowed management fee). Tenant shall have
the right at any time upon at least thirty (30) days prior
written notice to Landlord, to assume direct responsibility for,
and to pay the costs of, any or all of the routine maintenance
services which are the subject of the Monthly Maintenance Fee, but
any such assumption by Tenant shall not result in any reduction of
the monthly management fee payable by Tenant to Landlord. In such
event, Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense,
to hire a third party manager to manage the delivery of such
routine

maintenance
services, but in no event shall Landlord’s management fee be
reduced or terminated based on the routine maintenance services
assumed by Tenant.
Section 4.06.
Late Charges . Tenant’s failure to pay rent promptly
may cause Landlord to incur unanticipated costs. The exact amount
of such costs is impractical or extremely difficult to ascertain.
Such costs may include, but are not limited to, processing and
accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on
Landlord by any ground lease, mortgage or trust deed encumbering
the Property. Therefore, if Landlord does not receive any rent
payment within ten (10) days after it becomes due, Tenant shall pay
Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue
amount. The parties agree that such late charge represents a fair
and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason
of such late payment. If Tenant shall be served with a demand for
payment of past due rent or any other charge, any payments tendered
thereafter to cure any default of Tenant shall be made only by
cashier’s check, wire transfer, or other immediately
available funds. Notwithstanding the above, Landlord agrees not to
impose such late charge unless, immediately after its receipt of
written notice from Landlord, Tenant fails to deliver such
delinquent payment by nationally-recognized commercial overnight
courier (for next business day delivery); provided, however, that
Landlord is under no obligation to provide more than one
(1) such notice in any consecutive 12-month period.
Section 4.07.
Interest on Past Due Obligations . In addition to any late
charge imposed pursuant to Section 4.06 above, any
amount owed by Tenant to Landlord or by Landlord to Tenant which is
not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent
(10%) per annum from the due date of such amount (“
Interest ”); provided, however, that no interest shall
be payable on any late charges imposed on Tenant under this Lease.
The payment of interest on such amounts shall not excuse or cure
any default by Tenant or Landlord under this Lease. If the interest
rate specified in this Section 4.07 , or any other
charge or payment due under this Lease which may be deemed or
construed as interest, is higher than the rate permitted by law,
such interest rate is hereby decreased to the maximum legal
interest rate permitted by law.
Section 4.08.
Impounds for Insurance Premiums and Real Property Taxes. If
required by any ground lessor or lender to whom Landlord has
granted a security interest in the Property, or if Tenant is more
than ten (10) days late in the payment of rent more than once
in any consecutive twelve (12) month period, Tenant, upon
Landlord’s written demand, shall pay Landlord a sum equal to
one-twelfth (l/12) of the annual real property taxes and insurance
premiums payable by Tenant under this Lease, together with each
payment of Base Rent. Landlord shall hold such payments in a
non-interest bearing impound account. If unknown, Landlord shall
reasonably estimate the amount of real property taxes and insurance
premiums when due. Tenant shall pay any deficiency of funds in the
impound account to Landlord upon written request. If Tenant
defaults under this Lease, Landlord may apply any funds in the
impound account to any obligation then due under this
Lease.
Section 4.09.
Tenant’s Audit Rights . Tenant may, during regular
business hours but not more than once each calendar year and only
following not less than fifteen (15) business days prior
written notice to Landlord, inspect and audit the records of costs
pertaining to Landlord’s operation and maintenance of the
Property during the prior year (“ Tenant’s Audit
Right ”). If Tenant’s audit shall disclose an
overstatement of Tenant’s costs of seven percent (7%) or
more, then Landlord shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by Tenant in conducting such audit, not to exceed Five
Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00).
Tenant’s
Audit Right may not be exercised if an Event of Default on the part
of Tenant exists, and is also subject to the following
conditions:
(i) The
audit may only be conducted during Landlord’s regular office
hours and only by an employee of Tenant or an otherwise qualified
auditor and not by anyone with a financial interest in the results
of the audit;
(ii) The
audit must be conducted over a period not to exceed ten
(10) business days (provided that such days need not be
consecutive and provided further that Tenant’s auditor is
allowed reasonable access to Landlord’s Audit Materials, as
defined below);
(iii) Tenant’s
representative shall be permitted to inspect only Landlord’s
line-item breakdown of direct operating expenses for the Property
for the applicable calendar year, the “general ledger,”
and the invoices relating to the general ledger (collectively, the
“ Audit Materials ”);

(iv) Landlord’s
representative shall answer reasonable questions during the course
of the exercise of Tenant’s Audit Right, but shall not be
required to prepare or provide any work product other than the
Audit Materials;
(v) Landlord
shall only provide Tenant with copies of Landlord’s existing
records comprising the Audit Materials. In no event shall Landlord
prepare any schedules or perform any analysis or comparisons for
Tenant with respect to the audit; and
(vi) Tenant
and its auditor shall execute a confidentiality agreement, in form
and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant,
protecting the confidentiality of the Audit Materials and the
results of the audit. At a minimum, the confidentiality agreement
must provide that (a) the auditor’s report or other final
work product prepared by the auditor (the “
Auditor’s Report ”) shall be delivered to
Landlord no later than two (2) weeks following completion of
the audit, and (b) the auditor (if a third party) will
indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from any damages, loss, claim,
liability, cost or expense (including legal fees and costs),
resulting from breach of the confidentiality agreement.
If,
following the date of delivery of the Auditor’s Report to
Landlord (the “ Report Date ”), Landlord
disputes the findings contained therein, and Landlord and Tenant
are not able to resolve their differences within thirty
(30) days following the Report Date, the dispute shall be
resolved by arbitration as follows: Landlord and Tenant shall
attempt to agree in good faith upon a single, independent certified
public accountant (“ CPA ”) not later than fifty
(50) days following the Report Date. If Landlord and Tenant
are unable to agree upon a single CPA within such time period, then
Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one CPA not later than
seventy (70) days following the Report Date. Within
(10) days thereafter, the two appointed CPAs shall appoint a
third, independent CPA. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to
appoint its CPA within the prescribed time period, the single CPA
so appointed shall resolve the dispute. If both parties fail to
appoint CPAs within the prescribed time periods, then the first CPA
thereafter selected by a party shall resolve the dispute. The CPAs
are by this Lease directed to review the costs in question and to
conduct the arbitration no later than sixty (60) days
following the appointment of the last CPA to act hereunder. Each
CPA shall have at least five (5) years experience in real
estate accounting for properties similar to the Property, and shall
not have been retained by either party within the prior three
(3) years. All CPAs shall review the applicable terms and
provisions of this Lease regarding such costs, Landlord’s
books and records relating to same and the Auditor’s Report
and shall use generally accepted accounting principles to arrive at
their conclusions. The locale of the arbitration shall be Atlanta,
Georgia. In resolving the dispute, the arbitrators will apply the
law of State where the Property is located, and are limited to the
determination of Tenant’s appropriate share of costs for the
period under review. The decision of the arbitrators shall be final
and binding on Landlord and Tenant. If the arbitrators determine
that the amount of costs billed to Tenant was incorrect, the
appropriate party shall pay to the other party the deficiency or
overpayment, as applicable, within thirty (30) days following
delivery of the arbitrators’ decision, without interest. All
costs of the arbitration (that is, the cost of the arbitrators)
shall be divided equally between the parties, and each of the
parties shall bear the costs of their own counsel and other
professionals or consultants, if any, engaged by them for purposes
of the arbitration. The exercise of Tenant’s Audit Right
shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay disputed amounts.
Tenant’s Audit Right (including the arbitration provisions
provided herein) constitutes Tenant’s sole remedy with
respect to a dispute related to such costs.

|
Section 5.01.
Permitted Uses . Tenant may use the Property only for the
Permitted Uses set forth in Section 1.06 above and for
no other purpose whatsoever without Landlord’s prior written
approval, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned, or delayed; provided that such other Permitted Uses
(other than those identified in Section 1.06 above)
(i) do not create any atypical, irreparable, material wear and
tear on the Building; (ii) do not create any atypical material
risk of Environmental Damages or Hazardous Material contamination
on the Property; (iii) do not create obnoxious (as to a
reasonable person) odors or noise which escape the Property;
(iv) do not include storage of tires or chemicals (other than
those permitted under Section 5.03 below) or
explosives; and (v) and do not involve fabrication or
manufacturing, except as contemplated in Section 1.06
above, including specifically within such exception any
manufacturing or fabrication constituting a use described in clause
(b) of Section 1.06 above.
Section 5.02.
Manner of Use . Tenant shall not cause or permit the
Property to be improved, developed, or used in any way which
constitutes a violation of any law, statute, ordinance, or
governmental regulation or order, or other governmental requirement
now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated
(collectively, “ Applicable Laws ”), or which
unreasonably interferes with the rights of other tenants of
Landlord, or which constitutes a nuisance or waste. Tenant shall
obtain and pay for all permits required for Tenant’s specific
use and occupancy of the Property, and for

all business
licenses, and shall promptly take all actions necessary to comply
with all applicable statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations,
orders and requirements regulating the use by Tenant of the
Property, including without limiting to the Occupational Safety and
Health Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall, at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense, cooperate with Tenant in
executing permitting applications and performing other ministerial

governmental authority, if applicable. Tenant, at Tenant’s
sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for the installation of
any fire hose valves, draft curtains, smoke venting and any
additional fire protection systems (including, but not limited to,
fire extinguishers) that may be required by the fire department or
any governmental agency because of Tenant’s specific use of
the Property. It shall be considered a Tenant Delay under
Article Fourteen below if a delay in obtaining such
permit thereby delays or affects Landlord’s receipt of
governmental permits, approvals or certificates of
occupancy.
Tenant shall, at
its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with any Applicable Laws
which relate to (or are triggered by) (i) Tenant’s use
of the Property, and (ii) any alteration or any tenant
improvements made by Tenant or at the request of Tenant. Should any
standard or regulation now or hereafter be imposed on Tenant by any
federal, state or local governmental body charged with the
establishment, regulation and enforcement of occupational, health
or safety standards, then Tenant agrees, at its sole cost and
expense, to comply promptly with such standards or regulations. The
judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of
Tenant in any judicial action, regardless of whether Landlord is a
party thereto, that Tenant has violated any Applicable Laws, shall
be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant. Tenant
shall immediately notify Landlord in writing of any water
infiltration at the Property of which Tenant becomes aware.
Landlord shall be responsible for constructing the Base Building
Shell Improvements in accordance with Applicable Laws, including,
without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act.

from and
against any and all Environmental Damages which exist as a result
of the activities or negligence of the Tenant Group relating to the
Property, to the extent of the same, or which exist as a result of
the breach of any warranty or covenant or the inaccuracy of any
representation of Tenant contained in Section 5.03 of
this Lease, or by Tenant’s remediation of the Property or
failure to meet its obligations contained in
Section 5.03 this Lease, provided that Tenant’s
duty to remediate environmental conditions at or emanating from the
Property (or to pay the costs of such remediation) shall be limited
to the obligations set forth in Section 5.03.4
below.
B.
The obligations contained in this Section 5.03.3 shall
include, but not be limited to, the burden and expense of defending
all claims, suits and administrative proceedings, even if such
claims, suits or proceedings are groundless, false or fraudulent,
and conducting all negotiations of any description, and paying and
discharging, when and as the same become due, any and all
judgments, penalties or other sums due against such indemnified
persons. Landlord, at its sole expense, and without charge-back to
Tenant, may employ additional counsel of its choice to associate

Tenant to indemnify Landlord pursuant to this Lease, Tenant shall,
upon demand of Landlord, at its sole cost and expense and using
contractors approved by Landlord (such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), promptly take all
actions to remediate the Property and to mitigate Environmental
Damages which are required by the Environmental Requirements or
which are reasonably necessary to make full economic use of the
Property (in a manner consistent with its then current use), which
remediation and mitigation is necessitated from the presence upon,
about or beneath the Property, at any time during or upon
termination of this Lease (whether discovered during or following
the Lease Term), of a Hazardous Material or a violation of
Environmental Requirements existing as a result of the activities
or negligence of the Tenant Group relating to the Property. Such
actions shall include, but not be limited to, the investigation of
the environmental condition of the Property, the preparation of any
feasibility studies, reports or remedial plans, and the performance
of any cleanup, remediation, containment, operation, maintenance,
monitoring or restoration work required under this
Section 5.03 , whether on or off the Property, which
shall be performed in a manner approved by Landlord (such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or
delayed).
5.03.5
Right to Inspect . Subject to the inspection provisions of
Section 16.28 of this Lease and the confidentiality
provisions of Section 5.03.12 below, Landlord shall
have the right in its sole and absolute discretion, but not the
duty, to enter and conduct an inspection of the Property, including
invasive tests (but any such invasive tests shall only be permitted
following a reasonable determination that Hazardous Materials may
have been introduced to the Property other than those Hazardous
Materials previously approved by Landlord for use and which are
used in compliance with all Environmental Requirements), at any
reasonable time to as necessary to determine whether Tenant is
complying with the terms of this Lease, including but not limited
to the compliance of the Property and the activities thereon with
Environmental Requirements and the existence of Environmental
Damages as a result of the activities of the Tenant Group at the
Property. Landlord shall have the right, but not the duty, to
retain any independent professional consultant (the “
Consultant ”) to enter the Property to conduct such an
inspection or to review any report prepared by or for Tenant
concerning such compliance, provided that the Consultant shall
agree to be bound by the provisions of Section 16.28
and Section 5.03.12 of this Lease. The cost of the
Consultant shall be paid by Landlord except to the extent such
investigation discloses a violation of any Environmental
Requirement by the Tenant Group or the existence of a Hazardous
Material on the Property or any other property caused by the
activities or negligence of the Tenant Group at the Property (other
than Hazardous Materials used in compliance with all Environmental
Requirements and previously approved by Landlord), in which case
Tenant shall pay the cost of the Consultant and Landlord shall
promptly provide Tenant with a copy of all

liability of Tenant for Environmental Damages in connection with
the Property or past or present activities of any person thereon,
including but not limited to notice or other communication
concerning any actual or threatened investigation, inquiry,
lawsuit, claim, citation, directive, summons, proceeding,
complaint, notice, order, writ, or injunction, relating to same,
then Tenant shall deliver to Landlord within ten (10) days of
the receipt of such notice or communication by Tenant, a written
description of said violation, liability, or actual or threatened
event or condition, together with copies of any documents
evidencing same. Receipt of such notice shall not be deemed to
create any obligation on the part of Landlord to defend or
otherwise respond to any such notification nor any liability of
Tenant for the information contained in the notice.
If
requested by Landlord in writing, Tenant shall disclose to Landlord
the names and amounts of all Hazardous Materials other than general
office and cleaning supplies and other substances listed on the
attached Exhibit “D” and referred to in
Section 5.03.2 of this Lease, which are then being
used, generated, treated, handled, stored or disposed of on the
Property or, if known by Tenant, which Tenant intends to use,
generate, treat, handle, store or dispose of on the Property. The
foregoing in no way shall limit the necessity for Tenant obtaining
Landlord’s consent pursuant to Section 5.03.2 of
this Lease.
5.03.7
Surrender of Property . In the ninety (90) days prior
