between BANK BUILDING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, LLC, (hereinafter referred to as the
"Landlord") and WINSONIC DIGITAL MEDIA GROUP, LTD. (hereinafter referred to as

for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

LEASED PREMISES. Landlord does hereby lease and rent to Tenant, and Tenant does
hereby lease, take and rent from landlord, the Leased Premises described in
Paragraph 2d below. No easement for light, air or view is included in this Lease
of the Leased Premises, and no diminution or shutting off of light or air or
view by any structure which may be now or hereafter erected shall affect this
Lease. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not made any representation or
warranty with respect to the condition of the Leased Premises or the Building.
Unless otherwise provided for in this Lease, Tenant agrees to accept the Leased
Premises in its “as is” physical condition without any agreements,
representations, understandings or obligations on the part of Landlord to
perform any alterations, repairs or improvements (or to provide any allowance
for same) except as provided for on Exhibit “B”.

2.
DEFINITIONS.

rental amount specified in the Office Lease Basic Information, subject to
adjustments as provided herein.

telephone and electrical closets, mechanical areas, and columns and projections
necessary to the Building, including public stairs, elevator shafts and pipe

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
g. Operating Expenses. The term "Operating Expenses" shall mean all costs of
management, operation, and maintenance of the Building, as determined by
Landlord in its sole discretion, and as calculated by Landlord in accordance
with Landlord's ordinary and customary method of accounting, including, without
limitation; (1) all costs of electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, water, waste
disposal, sewer and other utilities servicing the Building; (2) all insurance
premiums and management fees; (3) real property taxes, general or special
assessments imposed upon the Building, personal property taxes imposed upon any
personal property used in the management, operation and maintenance of the
Building, all reasonable costs (including attorneys' fees, experts' and
witnesses' fees) incurred in contesting the validity or amount of any taxes or
assessments or in obtaining a refund thereof, and if any tax or assessment
(including, without limitation, any franchise, income, profit, sales, use,
occupancy, gross receipts or rental tax) is imposed upon Landlord as the owner
of the Building, or the occupancy, rents or income from the Building, in
substitution for any taxes or assessments, then such other tax or assessment,
computed as if the Building were Landlord's sole asset, will be deemed a part of
taxes and assessments; (4) all costs of maintenance, operation, and repair of
the Building (including maintenance of all elevators, HVAC, electrical, and
other systems and equipment contained therein), and the costs of replacing tools
or equipment used for such maintenance, operation or repair), (5) all general
administrative expenses regarding the operation and maintenance of the Building

h. Percentage Share of Space. The term "Percentage Share of Space" for purposes
of Paragraph 6 shall mean the percentage specified in the Office Lease Basic
Information.

3.
TERM OF LEASE. The term of this Lease (the "Term") shall commence on the Term
Commencement date, and unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided, shall
end on the Term Expiration date; as such dates are respectively specified in the
Office Lease Basic Information. The terms and conditions of this Lease shall
include and govern all renewal periods of the Lease, if any, as such dates and
under such other terms and conditions as are respectively specified in the
Office Lease Basic Information. Landlord agrees to proceed with due diligence to
complete the construction of the Leased Premises or to otherwise prepare the
Leased Premises for Tenant's occupancy on or before the Term Commencement. In
the event that Tenant, with Landlord's consent, occupies the Leased Premises at
any time prior to Term Commencement, then Term Commencement shall be on the date
of such occupancy, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord a pro rata share of the Base
Monthly Rental for the period from such commencement date through the first day
of the month next following or, if this Lease provides for Rental Abatement as
set forth in the Office Lease Basic Information, then the Term Commencement
shall be deemed to be the date of such occupancy and a pro rata share of the
first monthly payment of Base Monthly Rental shall be due and payable upon
expiration of the exact amount of time of Rental Abatement specified.
Thereafter, the schedule of Basic Monthly Rental shall be unaltered.

4.
POSSESSION. Taking of possession by Tenant shall be deemed conclusively to
establish that the Leased Premises have been prepared or completed in accordance
with the Initial Improvement of Premises (see Exhibit "B" attached) and that the
Leased Premises are in good, satisfactory and acceptable condition. If this
Agreement is executed before the Leased Premises herein become ready for
occupancy and Landlord cannot acquire and/or deliver possession of the Leased
Premises by Term Commencement, this Lease shall not be void or voidable; and
Tenant waives any claim for damages due to such delay. Landlord waives the
payment of any rental or the running of any Rental Abatement until Landlord
delivers possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant, unless specified otherwise
in the Office Lease Basic Information or any Exhibit attached hereto. No delay
in delivery or possession shall operate to terminate this Lease, but such delay
shall operate to extend the Term Commencement and the Term Expiration hereof
(except for Tenant-caused delays which shall not be deemed to delay commencement
of the Term).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 

5.
BASE MONTHLY RENTAL.

 
a. Subject to the further provisions of this Paragraph 5, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the Base Monthly Rental specified in the Office Lease Basic
Information, which shall be payable by the first day of each month, in advance,
without prior demand and without any deduction or set-off, during the Term,
except that the payment of the first month of Base Monthly Rental in the amount
specified in the Office Lease Basic Information, after expiration of any Rental
Abatement as provided therein, shall be paid simultaneously with the execution
of this Lease by Tenant. Base Monthly Rental shall at all times be subject to
Rental Adjustment as provided in Paragraph 6 below.

b. It is acknowledged and agreed that the late payment by Tenant to Landlord of
Base Monthly Rental or any other rent, additional rent, or other sums due under
the Lease shall cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease,
the exact amount of which would be extremely difficult and impractical to
ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing, clerical and
accounting charges, lost interest, and late charges which may be imposed on
Landlord by the terms of any security instrument. Therefore, if Landlord does
not receive any installment of Base Monthly Rental, or any other rent,
additional rent, or other sum by the end of the 5th day following the date due,
a late fee of five percent (5%) shall be imposed upon such Base Monthly Rental,
rent, additional rent, or other sum. In addition, at Landlord's option, all
unpaid rents will accrue interest at the rate of eighteen per centum (18%) per
annum from the due date until paid.

6.
RENTAL ADJUSTMENT. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord as additional rent each year
beginning after the last day of the Base Year as stated in the Office Lease
Basic Information, on demand, Tenant's pro-rata share of all Operating Expenses
in excess of those for the Base Year. For purposes of this Paragraph, Tenant's
share of such Operating Expenses shall equal the total amount of such Operating
Expenses of the Building for the applicable calendar year less the total amount
of the Operating Expenses of the Building for the Base Year multiplied by
Tenant's Percentage Share of Space as stated in the Office Lease Basic
Information. It is understood, and Tenant hereby specifically agrees, that in no
event shall the Operating Expenses for any calendar year be calculated or deemed
to equal less than those computed for the calendar year immediately preceding.
At landlord's election, and beginning not sooner than the first day of the first
calendar month after expiration of (i) the Base Year (as specified in the Office
Lease Basic Information) or (ii) Rental Abatement (whichever shall last occur),
an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of Landlord's good faith estimate of the
additional rent due hereunder for the calendar year during which the (i) Base
Year or (ii) Rental Abatement period expires (whichever is later) shall be
payable each month in advance as additional rent, along with Base Monthly
Rental, on the first day of each month of such year, with an adjustment to be
made between Tenant and Landlord within sixty (60) days after the end of such
year to account for any differences between such estimated additional rent and
that actually due. If the difference between such estimated additional rent and
that actually due results in an amount due Landlord from Tenant, Tenant shall
pay such amount to Landlord within ten (10) days after notice from Landlord to
Tenant, and if any such amount is due to Tenant from Landlord, Landlord shall
apply such amount against Tenant's next due estimated additional rent payment.
Tenant's obligation to pay for increases in Operating Expenses as provided
herein shall survive any expiration or other termination of this Lease.

 
 
5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 

7.
SECURITY DEPOSIT.

 
a. As security for the faithful performance by Tenant throughout the Term (and
any renewals and extensions of the Term) of all the terms and conditions of the
Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed, Tenant has deposited with Landlord
the sum shown in the Office Lease Basic Information as the Security Deposit
(hereinafter referred to as the "Security Deposit"). Such amount shall be
returned to Tenant, without interest, within ninety (90) days after the latter
of the Term Expiration as set forth in the Office Lease Basic Information or the
day Tenant actually vacates the Leased Premises, provided Tenant has fully and
faithfully observed and performed all of the terms, covenants, agreements,
warranties and conditions hereof on its part to be observed and performed.
Landlord shall have at any time during the Term the right to apply all or any
part of the Security Deposit toward the cure of any default of Tenant; provided,
however, that the Security Deposit will not be a limitation on Landlord's
damages or other rights under this Lease, or a payment of liquidated damages. If
all or any part of the Security Deposit is so applied by Landlord, then Tenant
shall immediately pay to Landlord upon demand an amount sufficient to return the
Security Deposit to the balance on deposit with Landlord prior to said
application.

b. As additional security for Tenant's obligation to take possession of the
Leased Premises on the date of the Term Commencement and to comply with all of
Tenant's covenants, warranties, agreements and provisions on the Term
Commencement, Tenant has herewith paid to Landlord the first month of Base
Monthly Rental as provided in Paragraph 5 above, for purposes of application in
reduction, but not in satisfaction, of damages which may be suffered by Landlord
if Tenant fails to take possession or to commence the payment of Base Monthly
Rental in accordance with Tenant's obligations under this Lease. The first
month's Base Monthly Rental paid pursuant to Paragraph 5 above, as referenced in
this Paragraph, shall be applied to the first full month of Base Monthly Rental
as provided in the Office Lease Basic Information, provided Tenant is not then
in default hereunder, subject to such additional amount which may be due from
and payable by Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 6 above.

c. In the event of a sale or transfer of Landlord's interest in the Leased
Premises or the Building or a lease by Landlord of the Building, Landlord shall
have the right to transfer the Security Deposit and first month's rent to the
purchaser or lessee, as the case may be, and Landlord shall be relieved of all
liability to tenant for the return of such amounts. Tenant shall look solely to
the new owner or landlord for the return of the same.

d. Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit and the first month's Base
Monthly Rental along with any other sums paid by Tenant to Landlord with other
or similar deposits made by other tenants occupants of the Building or with
Landlord's general operating funds.

e. The Security Deposit may not be assigned or encumbered by the Tenant, and any
attempted assignment or encumbrance by the Tenant shall be null and void.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

8.
USE AND OCCUPANCY. Tenant agrees that the Leased Premises will be used only for
general office purposes and for no other purpose (unless stipulated in
differently in Exhibit C “Special Stipulations”), that no unlawful use of the
Leased Premises will be made, and that no sign may be painted or displayed on
any part of the Building, except that the name and business or profession of
Tenant may be posted in an appropriate manner approved in advance by Landlord,
in its discretion, on or adjacent to the door or doors to the Leased Premises.
Any such sign shall be provided by Landlord, at Tenant's expense, payable upon
demand. Tenant shall not use or occupy the Leased Premises in any manner which
would violate any certificate of occupancy issued for the Leased Premises, that
would cause damage to the Building, that would constitute a public or private
nuisance, that would disturb the quiet enjoyment of other tenants of the
Building, or that would violate any law, ordinance, order, rule, regulation, or
other governmental requirement. Tenant affirmatively covenants and agrees to
comply with all laws, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations, and any other
governmental requirements relating to the use, condition or occupancy of the
Leased Premises, and all rules, orders, regulations and requirements of the
board of fire underwriters or insurance service office, or any other similar
body having jurisdiction over the Building. The cost of such compliance shall be
borne by Tenant. Upon the termination of this Lease, Tenant will vacate and
surrender possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord in as good condition as
the Leased Premises were at the commencement of this Lease, normal wear and tear
excepted. Landlord disclaims any warranty that the Leased Premises are suitable
for Tenant’s use and Tenant acknowledges that it has had a full opportunity to
make its own determination in this regard.

9.
UTILITIES. So long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease, Landlord shall
supply electric current for the lighting fixtures as installed in the Leased
Premises, toilets, corridors, and restrooms, and for normal use by electrically
powered office machines requiring 110 volt general (but no dedicated) electrical
lines, but Landlord shall not be responsible for any power failure or
fluctuations. Landlord shall furnish a reasonable amount of hot and cold running
water to lavatories and toilets in or proximate to the Leased Premises and shall
keep all plumbing in good repair. It is specifically agreed that Landlord
undertakes to furnish only a reasonable amount of electric current and water and
that Landlord reserves the right to install meters and to make extra rental
charges for any consumption of electric current or water which it deems, in its
discretion, to be greater than normal office use, or to be excessive or wasteful
as compared to other office tenants in the Building.

10.
HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING. Landlord shall maintain and operate heating, air
conditioning and ventilation systems for all common area parts of the Building
except storage space. The heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems
shall be operated and maintained, except on holidays and Sundays, between the
hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on weekdays and from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on
Saturdays.

11.
ELEVATORS.  Landlord shall furnish non-attended elevator service (if the
Building has such equipment serving the Leased Premises), in common with
Landlord and other tenants and occupants and their agents and invitees, to all
occupied floors of the Building during ordinary business hours and make a
reasonable number of elevators available for such persons as properly enter the
Building at other times.

12.
INTERRUPTION OF SERVICES. Landlord shall not be liable for damages to Tenant
alleged to be caused or occasioned by or in any way connected with or as a
result of any interruption, defect or breakdown from any cause whatever in any
of the services herein referred to in Paragraphs 8, 9, 10 and 11 above, or
elsewhere herein, and no actual or constructive eviction of Tenant shall be
deemed to have occurred hereunder by virtue of any such interruption, defect, or
breakdown. However, within a reasonable period of time after receipt of actual
written notice of any such interruption, defect or breakdown, Landlord will take
such steps as Landlord deems reasonable to restore any such interrupted service
or to remedy any such defect.

 
7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 

13.
MAINTENANCE AND ALTERATIONS.

 
a. Any alterations, additions or improvements permitted herein, other than the
Landlord Contribution to the Tenant Improvements as set forth in Exhibit "B"
attached, and as limited therein, shall be made at the sole expense of Tenant.
Tenant agrees that Tenant will make no alterations, additions or improvements to
the Leased Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord. Landlord may
withhold its approval, in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, for any
alterations, additions or improvements to the Leased Premises if such
alterations, additions or improvements affect the structural components and
elements, or the electrical, plumbing or mechanical systems, of the Building.
All alterations, additions or improvements made by and for Tenant, including but
not limited to, any and all subdividing partitions, walls or railings of
whatever type, material or height, but excepting moveable equipment, movable
office furniture or furnishings put in at the expense of Tenant, shall, when
made, be the property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with
the Leased Premises as a part thereof at Term Expiration or any earlier
termination of this Lease. Any moveable equipment, moveable furniture or
furnishings installed in, or removed from, the Leased Premises shall be
installed or removed without damage to the Leased Premises or the Building, or
Tenant shall promptly repair such damage. Upon the Term Expiration or any
earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all moveable equipment,
moveable furniture or furnishings installed in the Leased Premises, or any such
property remaining in the Leased Premises after Term Expiration or earlier
termination shall be deemed to have been abandoned and may be removed by
Landlord at Tenant's expense. Tenant accepts the Leased Premises in its present
condition and as suited for the use and purposes contemplated by Tenant.
Landlord shall not be required to make any repairs or improvements to the Leased
Premises except as herein set forth and shall not, under any circumstances, be
required to make any repairs necessitated by virtue of Tenant's or its agents'
or visitors' actions. Otherwise, Tenant shall keep the Leased Premises in good
order, condition and repair, including but not limited to the floors, walls,
ceilings, light fixtures, and plumbing fixtures. Any repainting, renovation or
decoration of the Leased Premises shall be at the sole expense of Tenant. Tenant
shall keep the Leased Premises in as good a state of repair as when received,
normal wear and tear excepted. Tenant is hereby permitted to make such repairs
to the Leased Premises at its own expense that Tenant may deem advisable during
the term of this Lease and without liability on the part of Landlord that
written consent of Landlord shall first be obtained. Tenant will pay or cause to
be paid all costs and charges for work done by it or caused to be done by it, in
or to the Leased Premises or the Building, and for all materials furnished for
or in connection with the work. Tenant will indemnify and hold Landlord harmless
from all liabilities, liens, claims, costs, and demands on account of such work.
If any mechanic's, material man’s or other lien is filed against the Leased
Premises or the Building, Tenant will cause such lien to be discharged of record
within ten (10) days after the lien is filed. Nothing contained in this Lease is
the consent or agreement of Landlord to subject Landlord's interest in the
Leased Premises or the Building to liability under any lien law. Tenant will
fully reimburse Landlord for any costs occasioned by the acts of Tenant and paid
by Landlord, including legal fees.
 
b. With respect to work by Tenant on the Initial Improvements of the Leased
Premises as provided in Exhibit "B" of this Lease, and with respect to any
alterations, additions, improvements, renovations, repairs or decorations which
Tenant may, in the future, be permitted to make or construct in the Leased
Premises, such work by Tenant shall be subject to the following standards:
 
(i) Whenever, after the Term Commencement, Tenant is permitted or required to
maintain and repair, or make additions or alterations to, the Leased Premises,
Tenant shall commence such work only after Landlord has approved the plans
therefor and any contractor proposed by Tenant to perform the work.
 
 
8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(ii) Tenant shall cause the work to be done and completed in a good, substantial
and workman-like manner free from faults and defects, in compliance with all
laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, and should utilize only new materials
and supplies. Tenant shall be solely responsible for construction means,
methods, techniques, sequences and procedures, and for coordinating all
activities relating to Tenant's work, and the Landlord shall not have any duty
or obligation to inspect the work, but shall have the right to do so.
 
(iii)  Whenever Tenant is required to perform any work on the Leased Premises,
Tenant shall promptly commence the work and, once commenced, diligently and
continually pursue the work and complete the work in a reasonable time. Tenant
shall supervise and direct the work utilizing its best efforts and reasonable
care, and assign qualified personnel to the work in order to cause the work to
be completed in an expeditious fashion.
 
(iv) Except as provided in Exhibit "B" with respect to Landlord's Contribution
toward the initial improvement of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall provide and
pay for all labor, materials, goods, supplies, equipment, appliances, tools,
construction equipment and machinery and other facilities and services necessary
for the proper execution and completion of the work. Tenant shall promptly pay
when due all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the work, and not
permit or suffer to exist any liens against the Building. Tenant shall pay all
fees and taxes required by law in connection with the work, and procure all
permits and licenses necessary for the performance of the work.
 
(v) Tenant shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of all of its
employees and all other persons performing any of the work. Tenant shall
initiate, maintain and supervise all necessary safety precautions and programs
in connection with the work, and take all reasonable protection to prevent
damage, injury or loss to, the work, all persons performing work on the Leased
Premises, all other persons who may be involved in or affected by the work, all
materials and equipment to be incorporated in the work, and all other property
on the Leased Premises or adjacent thereto.
 
(vi) Tenant shall defend, indemnify and save Landlord and its officers,
employees and agents harmless from all liabilities, damages, losses, costs,
expenses, causes of action, suits, claims, demands and judgments of any nature
arising out of, by reason of, or in connection with Tenant's work.

14.
RIGHT OF ENTRY. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall have the right to enter and to
grant licenses to enter the Leased Premises at any time, (a) to examine the
Leased Premises, (b) to make alterations and repairs to the Leased Premises or
to the Building (including the right, during the progress of such alterations or
repairs, to keep and store within the Leased Premises all necessary materials,
tools and equipment), (c) for any purpose which Landlord may deem necessary for
the operation and maintenance of the Building, and (d) to exhibit the Leased
Premises to applicants for hire or prospective purchasers or lenders. Such entry
shall neither render Landlord liable to any claim or cause of action (or loss of
or damage to the business or property of Tenant, by reason thereof) nor in any
manner affect the obligations and covenants of this Lease. Tenant hereby waives
any claim of injury or inconvenience to Tenant's business, interference with
Tenant's business, loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Leased Premises,
or any other loss occasioned by such entry.

15.
INSURANCE.

 
a. If, because of anything done, caused to be done, permitted or omitted by
Tenant, the premium rate for any kind of insurance affecting the Building shall
be raised, Tenant agrees that the amount of the increase in premium which
Landlord shall be thereby obligated to pay for such insurance shall be paid by
Tenant to Landlord on demand as additional rent, and that upon demand of
Landlord that Tenant remedy the condition which caused the increase in the
insurance premium rate, Tenant will remedy such condition within five (5) days
after such demand. Tenant agrees that Tenant shall not do, nor cause to be done,
nor permit on the Leased Premises, anything deemed by Landlord to be hazardous.
 
 
9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
b. Tenant shall obtain and maintain during the term of this Lease comprehensive,
"all risk" general liability coverage for bodily injury and property damage
insuring against any and all liability to Tenant and Landlord arising out of the
maintenance, and occupancy of the Leased Premises with aggregate liability
limits of not less than $2,000,000.00 for injuries to or death of persons in any
one occurrence and of not less than $500,000.00 for damage to property. Tenant
shall additionally maintain in full force and effect during the Term full
replacement cost fire and extended coverage insurance insuring Tenant's
furniture, furnishings, equipment and other personal property in and about the
Leased Premises. Landlord and Landlord's agents shall be named insured on all
such policies, and all such policies shall provide that they cannot be cancelled
or modified without first having given Landlord fifteen (15) days written notice
thereof. All policies of liability insurance specified in this Lease shall
specifically insure Tenant's performance of the indemnity agreements contained
in this Lease. Further, Tenant shall give notice to its insurance carrier or
carriers of coverage herein required, and any waivers of liability and indemnity
agreements contained in this Lease and shall provide Landlord with a certificate
of insurance reflecting the coverage obtained. A similar certificate in form
acceptable to Landlord renewing coverage for at least one (1) year shall be
delivered to Landlord not later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration
date of such policies.
 
c. At all times during the Term, Tenant shall procure and maintain Workers’
Compensation Insurance in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia.

16.
INDEMNITY.

a. Tenant agrees to defend, indemnify and save harmless Landlord and the agents,
servants, invitees, licensees and employees of Landlord against and from any and
all losses, costs, damages, liabilities and claims (including attorney's fees
and expenses) by or on behalf of any person, firm or corporation arising by
reason of injury to person or property occurring in the Leased Premises or the
Building, occasioned in whole or in part by any act or omission on the part of
Tenant or an employee (whether or not acting within the scope of employment),
agent, licensee, invitee or undertenant of Tenant, or by reason of any use by
Tenant of the Leased Premises or any breach, violation or non-performance of any
covenant in this Lease on the part of Tenant to be observed or performed, and
also for any matter or thing growing out of the occupancy or use of the Leased
Premises by Tenant or anyone holding through or under Tenant. If any action or
proceeding is brought against Landlord, or Landlord's agents, servants,
invitees, licensees and employees, by reason of any such claim, Tenant shall
defend the claim at Tenant's expense with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord. Tenant agrees to pay for all damage to the Building, as well as all
damage to tenants or occupants thereof, caused by Tenant's misuse or neglect of
said Leased Premises, its apparatus or appurtenances. Landlord shall not be
liable to Tenant for any damage by or from any act or negligence of any tenant
or other occupant of the Building or by any owner or occupant of adjoining or
contiguous property.

17.
FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY. Subject to provisions of the next sentence, Landlord
agrees that if before or during the term of this Lease the Leased Premises shall
be damaged by fire or other casualty, not occasioned by the act of tenant or the
servants, licensees, invitees or agents of Tenant, Landlord will cause the
Leased Premises to be repaired with reasonable dispatch after actual notice to
it of the damage, due allowance to be made for any delay resulting from any
cause beyond Landlord's reasonable control; provided, however, that Landlord
shall not be required to repair or replace any property which Tenant may be
entitled to remove or which Landlord may require Tenant to remove from the
Leased Premises pursuant to Paragraph 13, above; and provided further, that
during the time, if any, that the Leased Premises are unfit for occupancy by
Tenant, the Base Monthly Rental and additional rent shall abate pro rata (based
upon the amount of said Leased Premises being untenantable) without the Term
Expiration of the Lease being extended. However, if Landlord in its sole
discretion decides not to cause the Leased Premises to be repaired and restored,
Landlord may terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant within a reasonable time
after such damage of Landlord's election to terminate this lease, immediately if
the Term shall not have commenced, or on a date to be specified in such notice
if during the Term. In the event of the giving of such notice during the Term,
this Lease shall expire and all interest of Tenant in the Leased Premises shall
terminate on the date specified in such notice, and the Base Monthly Rental
shall be apportioned and paid up to the time of such fire or other casualty if
the Leased Premises are damaged, or up to the specified date of termination if
the Leased Premises are not damaged. If the Leased Premises is not repaired
within ninety (90) days after actual written notice to Landlord of the casualty
(or such longer period as is reasonable required by Landlord to repair such
damage), Tenant may terminate this Lease within fifteen (15) days by written
notice to Landlord. Tenant fully assumes the risk of any damage to all personal
property of Tenant from time to time situated in the Leased Premises. Tenant
shall have no right or claim to any part of any insurance proceeds made to or
received by Landlord for such fire or other casualty or against Landlord for the
value of any unexpired term of this Lease.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 

18.
DEFAULT. Tenant shall be in default under this Lease upon the occurrence of any
one or more of the following events or occurrences, each of which shall be
deemed to be a material event of default by Tenant;

 
(a) Landlord does not actually receive payment of the full amount of the Base
Monthly Rental or additional rent or other rent or other payment or
reimbursement due hereunder punctually on the due date thereof;
 
(b) Tenant fails to fully and punctually observe or perform any of the terms of
covenants of this Lease, other than the payment of rent, or of any of the Rules
and Regulations now or hereafter established for the governing of the Building,
and shall not cure such failure within ten (10) days after notice to Tenant of
such failure;
 
(c) Tenant fails to take possession or occupancy of, or deserts or abandons the
Leased Premises, or the Leased Premises become vacant;
 
(d) Any representation, statement, or warranty made by Tenant orally, in this
Lease, or in any information sheet or documents furnished by Tenant or any
guarantor hereof with respect to the net worth, liabilities, assets, or
financial condition of Tenant or any guarantor hereof, or any other matters,
shall be or prove to be untrue or misleading;
 
(e) Tenant shall be in default, in the payment of rent or otherwise, under
another lease with Landlord in the Building, or
 
(f) The filing or execution or occurrence of: (i) a petition by or against
Tenant or any guarantor hereof in bankruptcy or seeking any reorganization,
arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar
relief under any provision of the present or any future bankruptcy act or any
other present or future federal, state or other bankruptcy or insolvency statute
or law, (ii) adjudication of Tenant or any guarantor hereof as a bankrupt or
insolvent, or insolvency in the bankruptcy or equity sense, (iii) an assignment
by Tenant or any guarantor hereof for the benefit of creditors, (iv) a petition
or other proceeding by or against Tenant or any guarantor hereof for, or the
appointment of a trustee, receiver, guardian, conservator or liquidator with
respect to any portion of Tenant or guarantor's property, (v) any levy,
execution, or attachment against Tenant or any guarantor hereof, or (vi) any
transfer or passage of any interest of Tenant under this Lease by operation of
law.
 

18.1
REMEDIES.  Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the events of default
listed in Paragraph 18, or upon the occurrence of any other default or defaults
by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord may, at Landlord's option, without any
demand or notice whatsoever (except as expressly required in Paragraph 18):

 
 
11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(i) Terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice of termination, in which event
this Lease shall expire and terminate on the date specified in such notice of
termination, and Tenant shall remain liable for all obligations under this Lease
arising up to the date of such termination, and Tenant shall surrender the
Leased Premises to Landlord on the date specified in such notice; or
 
(ii) Terminate this Lease as provided in Subparagraph 18.1(a) (i) hereof and
recover from Tenant all damages Landlord may incur by reason of Tenant's
default, including, without limitation, a sum which, at the date of such
termination represents the present value (discounted at a rate equal to the then
average rate for Moody's "AAA" rated corporate bonds) of the excess, if any, of
(aa) the Base Monthly Rental and all other sums which would have been payable
hereunder by Tenant for the period commencing with the day following the date of
such termination and ending with the date hereinbefore set for the expiration of
the full term hereby granted, over (bb) the aggregate reasonable rental value of
the Leased Premises for the same period, all of which present value of such
excess sum shall be deemed immediately due and payable; provided that, Landlord
must use its best efforts to re-lease the leased Premises, in mitigation of any
damage allowed to Landlord hereunder; or
 
(iii) Without terminating this Lease, declare immediately due and payable all
Base Monthly Rental and other rents and amounts due and coming due under this
Lease for the entire remaining term hereof, together with all other amounts
previously due, at once, which total amount shall be discounted to the present
value (discounted at a rate equal to the then average rate of Moody's "AAA"
rated corporate bonds); provided, however, that such payment shall not be deemed
a penalty or liquidated damages but shall merely constitute payment in advance
of rent for the remainder of said term. Upon making such payment, Tenant shall
be entitled to receive from Landlord all rents received by Landlord from other
assignees, tenants, and subtenants on account of said Premises during the term
of this Lease, provided that the monies to which Tenant shall so become entitled
shall in no event exceed the entire amount actually paid by Tenant to Landlord
pursuant to the preceding sentence less all costs, expenses and attorney's fees
of Landlord incurred in connection with the reletting of the Leased Premises;
provided that, no assignment, lease or sublease by Tenant presented by tenant to
Landlord shall be unreasonably denied; or
 
(iv) Without terminating this Lease, and with or without notice to Tenant,
Landlord may in Landlord's own name but as agent for Tenant enter into and upon
take possession of the Leased Premises or any part thereof, and, at Landlord's
option, remove persons and property therefrom, and such property, if any, may be
removed and stored in a warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the
account of, Tenant, all without being deemed guilty of trespass or becoming
liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby, and Landlord may
rent the Leased Premises or any portion thereof as the agent of Tenant with or
without advertisement, and by private negotiations and for any term upon such
terms and conditions as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable in order to
relet the Leased Premises. Landlord shall in no way be responsible or liable for
any rental concessions or any failure to rent the Leased Premises or any part
thereof, or for any failure to collect any rent due upon such reletting. Upon
each such reletting, all rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall
be applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness (other than any rent due
hereunder) from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs and
expenses of such reletting, including, without limitation, brokerage fees and
attorney's fees and costs of alterations and repairs; third, to the payment of
rent and other charges then due and unpaid hereunder, and the residue, if any,
shall be held by Landlord to the extent of and for application in payment of
future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. If such rentals
received from such reletting shall at any time or from time to time be less than
sufficient to pay to Landlord the entire sums then due from Tenant hereunder,
Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall, at
Landlord's option, be calculated and paid monthly. No such reletting shall be
construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless a written
notice of such election has been given to Tenant by Landlord. Notwithstanding
any such reletting without termination, Landlord may, at any time thereafter,
elect to terminate this Lease for any such previous default provided the same
has not been cured; provided that, Landlord must use its best efforts to
mitigate any damage or rent allowed to Landlord hereunder; or
 
 
12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(v) Pursue such other remedies as are available at law or equity, including,
without limitation, an action for specific performance requiring Tenant to
perform Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
 
b. Landlord's pursuit of any remedy or remedies, including, without limitation,
any one or more of the remedies stated in the foregoing Subparagraph 18.1(a),
shall not (i) constitute an election of remedies or preclude pursuit of any
other remedy or remedies provided in this Lease or any other remedy or remedies
provided by law or in equity, separately or concurrently or in any combination,
or (ii) serve as the basis for any claim of actual or constructive eviction, or
allow Tenant to withhold any payments under this Lease.
 
c. If this Lease shall terminate as a result of, or while there exists, a
default hereunder, any funds of Tenant held by Landlord may be applied by
Landlord to any damages payable by Tenant (whether provided for herein or by
law) as a result of such termination or default.
 
d. Tenant covenants and agrees that Tenant shall not interpose any counterclaim
or claim for offset or deduction in any summary proceeding brought by Landlord
to recover possession of the Leased Premises.
 
e. Neither the commencement of any action or proceeding, nor the settlement
thereof, nor entry of judgment thereon shall bar Landlord from bringing
subsequent actions or proceedings from time to time, nor shall the failure to
include in any action or proceeding any sum or sums then due be a bar to the
maintenance of any subsequent actions or proceedings for the recovery of such
sum or sums so omitted.
 
f. No termination of this Lease prior to the normal expiration thereof, by lapse
of time or otherwise, shall affect Landlord's right to collect rent for the
period prior to termination thereof. Tenant covenants and agrees not to vacate
the Premises or exercise any right of termination arising out of any breach by
Landlord of any provision of this Lease or the condition or state of repair of
the Premises. No surrender of the Premises or any part thereof by delivery of
keys or otherwise shall operate to terminate this Lease unless and until
expressly accepted in writing by a authorized officer of Landlord.
 
g. If Landlord terminates this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the
Leased Premises, Landlord shall have no obligation to mitigate Landlord’s
damages except to the extent required by applicable law. If Landlord has not
terminated this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Premises,
Landlord shall have no obligation to mitigate under any circumstances and may
permit the Leased Premises to remain vacant or abandoned. If Landlord is
required to mitigate damages as provided herein: (i) Landlord shall be required
only to use reasonable efforts to mitigate, which shall not exceed such efforts
as Landlord generally uses to lease other space in the Building; (ii) Landlord
will not be deemed to have failed to mitigate if Landlord or its affiliates
lease any other portions of the Building or other affiliates in the same
geographic area, before re-letting all or any portion of the Leased Premises,
and (iii) any failure to mitigate as described herein with respect to any period
of time shall only reduce the Base Monthly Rental and other amounts to which
Landlord is entitled hereunder by the reasonable rental value of the Leased
Premises during such period.
 
h. The foregoing provisions of Paragraph 18 and this Paragraph 18.1 shall apply
to any renewal or extension of this Lease.
 
i. The specific remedies to which Landlord may resort under the terms of this
Lease are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies
or means of redress to which it may be lawfully entitled in case of any breach
or threatened breach by Tenant of any provisions of this Lease.
 
 
13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

19.
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.  Tenant may not, without the prior written consent of
Landlord, endorsed hereon, assign this Lease or any interest herein or in the
Leased Premises, or mortgage, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise
transfer or sublet the Leased Premises or any part thereof or permit the use,
management or control of the Leased Premises by any party other than Tenant.
Landlord’s consent to a proposed assignment or subletting shall not be
unreasonably withheld; however, in addition to any other grounds for denial,
Landlord’s consent shall be deemed reasonably withheld if, in Landlord’s sole
discretion: (a) the proposed assignee or subtenant does not have the financial
strength to perform its obligations under this Lease or any proposed sublease;
(b) the business and operations of the proposed assignee or subtenant are not of
comparable quality to the business and operations being conducted by other
tenants in the Building; (c) the use of the Leased Premises or the Building by
the proposed assignee or subtenant would, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment,
impact the Building in a negative manner; or (d) Tenant has failed to cure a
default at the time Tenant requests consent to the proposed transfer or
sublease. Consent to one or more such transfers or subleases shall not destroy
or waive this provision, and all subsequent transfers and subleases shall
likewise be made only upon obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord.
Sub-tenants or transferees shall become directly liable to Landlord for all
obligations of Tenant hereunder, without relieving Tenant for any liability
therefor, and Tenant shall remain obligated for all liability to Landlord
arising under this Lease during the entire remaining term of this Lease,
including any extensions, whether or not authorized herein. If this Lease is
assigned or the Leased Premises are subleased pursuant to the terms of this
paragraph, then the excess of any amounts of rental and other charges, however
designated, payable by such assignee or sublessee pursuant to the assignment or
sublease over the rental and other charges payable by Tenant hereunder shall
belong to, and shall be payable to, Landlord. If Tenant shall transfer or sublet
this Lease or any part of the Leased Premises or shall request the consent of
Landlord to any transfer or sublease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional
rent Landlord’s costs related thereto, including Landlord’s reasonable
attorneys’ fees and a minimum fee to Landlord of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00).

20.
BUILDING RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant has read the Rules and Regulations hereto
attached as Exhibit "D" and hereby agrees to abide by and conform to the same
and to such further reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may from time
to time make or adopt for the care, protection and benefit of the Building or
the general comfort and welfare of its occupants. Tenant further agrees that
Landlord shall have the right to waive any or all of such Rules and Regulations
in the case of any one or more Tenants in the Building without affecting
Tenant's obligations under this Lease and said Rules and Regulations. Landlord
shall not be responsible for the non-conformance by any other tenant to any of
said Rules and Regulations.

21.
WAIVER. No waiver by Landlord of any violation or breach of any of the terms,
provisions or covenants herein contained shall be effective unless in a writing
signed by Landlord's authorized representative, nor shall any such waiver be
deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other violation or breach of
any other terms, provision or covenants herein contained. Forbearance by
Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an event of
default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default.
In particular, the subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord shall not
be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any covenant of
agreement of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular
rental so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach
at the time of acceptance of such rent. No payment by Tenant, nor receipt by
Landlord, of a lesser amount than the rent, additional rent, or other charges
and sums stipulated in this Lease will be deemed to be anything other than a
payment on account of the earliest stipulated rent. No endorsement or statement
on any check, or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent, will be
deemed an accord and satisfaction. Landlord may accept the check for payment
without prejudice in Landlord's right to recover the balance of such rent or to
pursue any other remedy available to Landlord. If this Lease is assigned, or if
the Leased Premises or any parts thereof are sublet or occupied by anyone other
than Tenant, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant
and apply the net amount collected to the rent reserved in this Lease. That
collection will not be deemed a waiver of the covenant in this Lease against
assignment or subletting, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or
occupant as a tenant, or a release of Tenant from the complete performance by
Tenant of its covenants in this Lease.

 
 
14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
22.
HOLDING OVER. If Tenant shall fail to vacate and surrender the possession of the
Leased Premises at the termination of this Lease, whether by expiration of the
Term, default or any other basis, Landlord shall, in addition to any and all
other rights provided herein and provided by law, and without waiving any such
rights or extending the Term, be entitled to deem Tenant a tenant at sufferance
and to recover from Tenant an amount equal to two (2) times the amount of all
types of rental (including, but not limited to, Base Monthly Rental and all
additional rent) Tenant would have paid for the period immediately prior to
termination equal in time to the period from the termination of this Lease until
the date said Leased Premises are vacated and surrendered by Tenant.

23.
SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT.

 
a. Tenant agrees that this Lease shall be subordinate to any security deed or
mortgage now or hereafter encumbering the Building or any interest herein and to
all advances made or thereafter to be made upon the security thereof and to any
lease now or hereafter made of the entire Building, and together with any
renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements of any
security deed, mortgage, lease, or other encumbrance or indenture. The terms of
this provision shall be self-operative and no further instrument of
subordination shall be required by any mortgagee or lessee. Tenant, however,
upon request of any party in interest, shall execute promptly such instruments
or certificates as may be reasonable required to carry out the intent hereof,
whether said requirement is that of Landlord or any other party in interest,
including, without limitation, mortgagees or lessees. If Tenant does not
execute, acknowledge and deliver any such instruments or documents within twenty
(20) days after written demand, Landlord, its successors and assigns will be
entitled to execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments or documents on
behalf of Tenant as Tenant's attorney-in-fact. Tenant hereby constitutes and
irrevocably appoints Landlord and its successors and assigns, as Tenant's
attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver those instruments and
documents on behalf of Tenant.
 
b. If any grantee or mortgagee elects to have this Lease superior to its
security deed or mortgage and signifies its election in the instrument creating
its lien or by separate recorded instrument, this Lease agreement shall be
superior to such security deed.
 
c. In the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of, or in the
event of exercise of the power of sale under, any security deed or mortgage made
by Landlord covering the Building, or in the event of termination of any lease
under which Landlord may hold the same, Tenant shall automatically attorn to the
purchaser at foreclosure or under power of sale, or to the assignee or
transferee of Landlord's interest upon such lease termination, as the case may
be, and shall recognize such person as the Landlord under this Lease. Tenant
agrees that the institution of any suit, action or other proceeding by any
mortgagee to realize on Landlord's interest in the Building pursuant to the
powers granted to a mortgagee under its security deed or mortgage shall not, by
operation of law or otherwise, result in the cancellation or termination of the
obligations of Tenant hereunder. In addition, Landlord and Tenant covenant and
agree that Landlord's right to transfer or assign Landlord's interest in and to
the leased Premises, or any part or parts thereof, shall be unrestricted, and
that in the event of any such transfer of assignment by Landlord which includes
the Leased Premises, Landlord's obligations to Tenant hereunder shall cease and
terminate, Tenant looking only and solely to Landlord's assignee or transferee
for performance thereof. Upon request of Landlord's assignee or transferee, and
without cost to Landlord or the assignee or transferee, Tenant will execute,
acknowledge and deliver documents confirming the attornment. If Tenant fails or
refuses to execute, acknowledge and deliver those documents within twenty (20)
days after written demand, the assignee or transferee will be entitled to
execute, acknowledge and deliver those documents on behalf of Tenant as Tenant's
attorney-in-fact. Tenant hereby constitutes and appoints Landlord's assignee or
transferee as Tenant's attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver
those documents on behalf of Tenant.
 
 
15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

24.
NOTICES. All notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given, whether actually received or not, when
deposited, postage prepaid, in the United States mail, certified, return receipt
requested, and addressed to Landlord or Tenant at the address set forth in the
Office Lease Basic Information or at such other address as either party shall
have given to the other by notice as herein provided. Tenant hereby designates
and appoints as its agent to receive notice of all distraint and dispossessory
proceedings and all other notices required under this Lease the person in charge
of the Leased Premises at the time said notice is given or the person occupying
the Leased Premises at said time, whether such person or persons represent or
are employed by Tenant or represent or are employed by any trustee, receiver or
creditor of Tenant; and, if no person is in charge of or occupying the Leased
Premises, then such service or notice may be made by attaching the same in lieu
of mailing on the main entrance of the Leased Premises.

25.
SUBSTITUTE SPACE. Anything herein or elsewhere to the contrary notwithstanding,
Landlord shall have the option from time to time to substitute space elsewhere
in the Building in lieu of the Leased Premises by giving Tenant written notice
of its intention to do so, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice. Landlord
shall bear the expense of said removal together with the expense of any
renovation or alterations to said substituted space reasonably necessary to make
the same substantially conform in arrangement,layout and improvements to the
original space described in this Lease. If Landlord exercises its options as
aforesaid, then the substituted space shall be for all purposes hereof be deemed
to be and to constitute the Leased Premises under this Lease and all terms,
conditions, covenants, warranties, agreements and provisions of this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect and shall apply to the substituted space,
except that the rent for such space shall be equal to the lesser of the lease
monthly rental stipulated in Office Lease Basic Information or number of net
rentable square feet for such equivalent space multiplied by the rental rate per
net rentable square foot of the Leased Premises.

26.
EXCULPATION. Neither Landlord, nor any officer, director, shareholder or partner
of Landlord, shall have any personal liability with respect to any of the
provisions of this Lease. If Landlord is in default with respect to its
obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall look solely to the equity of Landlord
in and to the Leased Premises for satisfaction of Tenant's remedies, if any. It
is expressly understood and agreed that Landlord's liability under the terms of
this Lease shall in no event exceed the amount of its interest in and to the
Leased Premises.

27.
ATTORNEY'S FEES AND HOMESTEAD. If any rent or other debt owing by Tenant to
Landlord hereunder is collected by or through an attorney at law, Tenant agrees
to pay (i) an additional amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of all amounts,
including interest and costs, owing under his Lease as attorney's fees, and (ii)
all other costs of collection. In addition, Tenant agrees to pay all attorney's
fees and expenses Landlord incurs in any other litigation or negotiation in
which Landlord shall become involved through or on account of this Lease. Tenant
waives all homestead rights and exemptions which it may have under any law as
against any obligation owing under this Lease. Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord
any homestead and exemption to which it might be entitled.

 
 
16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
28.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Lease contains the entire agreement of the parties, and
no representations or agreement, oral or otherwise between the parties not
embodied herein regarding the subject matter hereof, shall be of any force or
effect. No failure of Landlord to exercise any power given Landlord hereunder,
or to insist upon strict compliance by Tenant of any obligation hereunder, and
no custom or practice at variance with the terms hereof, shall constitute a
waiver of Landlord's right to demand exact compliance with terms hereof.

29.
TIME. Time is of the essence in this Agreement.

30.
INTEREST CONVEYED. This Agreement shall create only the relationship of Landlord
and Tenant between the parties hereto; no estate shall pass out of Landlord, and
Tenant has only a usufruct, not subject to levy and sale.
