R E C I T A L S :
WHEREAS, Landlord's predecessor in interest, John W. Rooker,
LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, and Tenant entered into
that certain Lease dated July 26, 2001, as amended by that certain
First Amendment to Lease dated November, 2001 (the " First
Amendment ") and that certain Second Amendment to Lease dated
July 29, 2002 (the " Second Amendment ") (hereinafter
collectively referred to as the " Lease "), pursuant to
which Tenant leases a building containing approximately 491,229
square feet of warehouse space, together with approximately 19,581
square feet of office/administration space (the " Building
"), the land on which the Building is located (the " Land
"), and all such rights, easements, and appurtenances thereto
(collectively, the " Original Leased Premises ");
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 3(a) of Exhibit "G" to the Lease,
on February 22, 2005, Tenant delivered to Landlord an Expansion
Notice (as such term is defined in the Lease) exercising the
Expansion Option (as such term is defined in the Lease) contained
in the Lease (such notice is the " Expansion Notice ").
WHEREAS, the Expansion Notice stated that the expansion space to
be constructed shall contain an aggregate of approximately 297,180
square feet (such expansion space to include all of Proposed
Expansion Area 1 and Proposed Expansion Area 2, as shown on the
Site Plan attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference
as Exhibit A and herein referred to as the " Building
Addition ") and shall be constructed in the "Phase II Building
Addition Area" (as such term is used in Section 3 of Exhibit "G" to
the Lease).
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 3(b) of Exhibit "G" to the Lease,
the parties desire to enter into this Third Amendment to set forth
the terms and conditions upon which the Building Addition shall be
designed and constructed, and the terms and conditions upon which
Landlord shall lease the Building Addition to Tenant.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the recitals herein
above set forth and for other good and valuable consideration the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord
and Tenant hereby agree as follows:
1.
Incorporation of Recitals and Terms. The foregoing recitals are
hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Third Amendment.
Unless otherwise defined in this Third Amendment, all capitalized
terms used herein shall have the respective meanings as are
ascribed to them in the Lease.
a.
Final Expansion Plans. In reliance upon the Expansion Notice,
Landlord has, pursuant to Section 3(f) of Exhibit "G" to the Lease,
prepared, subject to the Final Plan Changes (as defined in Section
2.01(B) of the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B), and all
as more particularly described in the Work Letter attached hereto
as Exhibit B, Final Expansion Plans (as defined in Section 2.01(B)
of the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B), for the Building
Addition. Tenant agrees that in connection with approvals of the
Final Plan Changes, and in furtherance of Tenant’s agreement
in said Section 3(f) of Exhibit "G" to the Lease that Tenant shall
not unreasonably withhold its approval of such Final Expansion
Plans, Tenant shall provide all approvals or disapprovals in
writing within five (5) business days of the submission of any such
Final Plan Changes for approval by Tenant. In the event Tenant
disapproves any submission of Final Plan Changes, Tenant shall set
forth in writing the reason for Tenant’s disapproval.
Tenant’s failure to approve or disapprove any request for
approval by Landlord within ten (10) business after such request
shall be deemed to constitute Tenant’s approval of such plans
and specifications.
b.
Design and Construction of Building Addition. Pursuant to Section
3(h) of Exhibit "G" to the Lease, Landlord agrees to undertake the
responsibility for the design and construction of the Building
Addition in accordance with the terms of the Lease, this Third
Amendment and the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B, to
include obtaining the appropriate governmental and other
approvals, permits, licenses and to comply with all existing laws,
rules and regulations in connection with the design and
construction of the Building Addition.
c.
Lease Term. Landlord and Tenant agree that the Expansion Term shall
be a period of fifteen (15) years, commencing on the Building
Addition Commencement Date (as defined in subsection (d) herein
below), and accordingly, that the primary term of the Lease
(inclusive of the Original Leased Premises) shall be extended to be
co-terminus with the Expansion Term such that on and after the date
hereof, the expiration date of the term of the Lease (for the
Original Leased Premises and the Building Addition) shall be the
date that is fifteen (15) years after the Building Addition
Commencement Date. Landlord and Tenant agree that for the period
between August 1, 2017 and the expiration date of the term of the
Lease for the Original Leased Premises, as extended to be
co-terminus with the Expansion Term, the Base Rent for the Original
Leased Premises shall be $211,263.00 per month (which amount is the
amount payable by Tenant for the period of years 13, 14 and 15 of
initial term of the Lease pursuant to Section 3.01 of the
Lease).
d.
Building Addition Commencement Date. Landlord and Tenant desire to
clarify the meaning of "Building Addition Commencement Date" and
accordingly, the first sentence of Section 3(g) of Exhibit "G" to
the Lease is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as
follows:
"The commencement date of each Building Addition (a "Building
Addition Commencement Date") shall be the earlier of (i) the date
that Tenant commences business operations from the whole of such
Building Addition, or (ii) the date on which Building Addition
Substantial Completion has occurred, as determined pursuant to
Section 2.02(a) of the Work Letter."

e.
|
Base Rent for Building Addition.
|
i.
The Base Rent for the Building Addition shall be calculated in
accordance with the terms of Sections 3(d) and 3(e) of Exhibit "G"
to the Lease and shall be determined on or before the Building
Addition Commencement Date and after such time as all Improvement
Costs have been established, provided however, for purposes of
determining the "Applicable Yield", Landlord and Tenant agree as
follows:
A. an amortization period of twenty (20) years shall be
used;
B. the term of the mortgage loan shall be deemed to be nine (9)
years; and
C. the "stated interest rate" referred to in the first sentence
of Section 3(e) of Exhibit "G" to the Lease shall mean the lesser
of (1) the interest rate obtained by Landlord, in good faith, in
pursuit of permanent financing for the Building Addition with
Landlord’s current lender, and assuming a loan to value ratio
not to exceed 80% (the "Lender Rate"), or (2) a rate per annum
equal to the interpolated nine (9) year treasury rate, as
reasonably determined by Landlord, plus 1.75% (the "Maximum Rate").
Landlord agrees to keep Tenant updated on the progress of
Landlord’s financing arrangements and, at such time as
Landlord has received a firm written commitment to lend and an
interest rate for the permanent financing for the Building Addition
(the "Lender Commitment"), Landlord shall provide prompt written
notice and a copy to Tenant of the same. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that the Lender Rate exceeds the Maximum
Rate and Landlord, in its sole discretion, for any or no reason,
does not accept financing from Landlord’s current Lender at
the Lender Rate (which determination shall be made by Lender and
notice of which shall be given to Tenant within ten (10) days after
Lender’s receipt of the Lender Commitment (the "Landlord
Financing Decision")), the "stated interest rate" referred to in
the first sentence of Section 3(e) of Exhibit "G" to the Lease
shall mean an interest rate based on the lowest and best quotes
(indicative interest, not binding commitments, and taking into
account all of the terms, costs and fees related to such quotes) of
three (3) reputable, nationally recognized insurance companies who
are then actively in the lending market (or other capable
institutional lenders if needed to obtain a total of three quotes)
for a first priority mortgage permanent loan on a commercial
warehouse facility of similar value as the Building Addition, with
Landlord as the owner and Tenant as the
