See Special Stipulation #2

 

 

 

          If this Lease is executed before the Premises become ready for
occupancy and Landlord cannot deliver possession of the Premises on or before
commencement of the Term for any reason other than an omission, delay or default
caused by Tenant, rent shall abate until Landlord can deliver possession, and
Tenant hereby accepts such abatement in full settlement of any and all claims
Tenant may have against Landlord arising from Landlord’s inability to deliver
possession at the commencement of the Term. Any occupancy by Tenant prior to the

illegal purposes, nor in violation of any regulation of any governmental body,
nor in any manner to create any nuisance or trespass, nor in any manner to

Building. Tenant shall, at its own expense, promptly comply with any and all
municipal, county, state and federal statutes, regulations and/or requirements

Premises.

 

 

10.

TENANT’S ACCEPTANCE.

 

 

 

See Special Stipulation #5

 

 

 

          Tenant acknowledges that it has been afforded an opportunity to
inspect the Premises and accepts the Premises “as is” and as suited for Tenant’s
intended use thereof, subject only to the provisions of Paragraph 3. Upon
completion of the improvements contemplated by Paragraph 3, or occupancy of the
Premises by Tenant, whichever first occurs, Tenant shall be deemed to have
accepted any improvements made since the date hereof.

 

 

11.

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

 

 

 

See Special Stipulation #6

 

 

 

          (a) Tenant shall not voluntarily or involuntarily, whether by
operation of law or otherwise, assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise
encumber this Lease or any interest herein and shall not sublet or permit the
use by others of the Premises or any portion thereof without obtaining in each
instance Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent Landlord may grant or
withhold for any reason or for no reason. Landlord’s consent to one assignment,
sublease, transfer or hypothecation shall not be deemed as a consent to any
other or further assignment, sublease, transfer or hypothecation.  Any such
assignment, sublease, transfer or hypothecation without Landlord’s prior written
consent shall be void and shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a default
under this Lease. No acceptance by Landlord of any rent or any other sum of
money from any assignee, sublessee or other category of transferee shall release
Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder or be deemed to constitute
Landlord’s consent to any assignment, sublease, transfer or hypothecation, and
in any event, Tenant shall remain primarily liable on this Lease for the entire
Term hereof and shall in no way be released from the full and complete
performance of all the terms, conditions, covenants and agreements contained
herein.

 

 

 

          (b) If Tenant should desire to assign this Lease or sublet the
Premises or any part thereof, Tenant shall give Landlord prior written notice,
which notice shall specify (i) the name and business of the proposed assignee or
sublessee, (ii) the amount and location of the space affected, (iii) the
proposed effective date and duration of the subletting or assignment, and (iv)
the proposed rental or other consideration to be paid to Tenant by such
sublessee or assignee. Landlord shall then have a period of fifteen (15) days
following receipt of such notice within which to notify Tenant in writing that
Landlord elects either (1) to terminate this Lease as to the space so affected
as of the date so specified by Tenant, in which event Tenant will on that date
be relieved of all further obligations to pay rent hereunder as to such space,
or (2) to permit Tenant to assign or sublet such space, in which event if the
proposed rental between Tenant and sublessee for the space affected is greater
than the Base Monthly Rental as adjusted under this Lease applicable to the
space affected, or if consideration other than rental is paid to Tenant by such
assignee or sublessee with respect to the affected space, then fifty percent
(50%) of such excess rental and other consideration shall be deemed additional
rent owed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, and the amount of such excess
shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord in the same manner that Tenant pays the Base
Monthly Rental hereunder and in addition thereto, or (3) to withhold consent to
Tenant’s assigning or subleasing such space and to continue this Lease in full
force and effect as to the entire Premises. If Landlord should fail to notify
Tenant in writing of such election within said fifteen (15) day period, Landlord
shall be deemed to have elected option (3) above. Tenant agrees to reimburse
Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in
connection with the processing and documentation of any request made pursuant to
this Paragraph. Notwithstanding the giving by Landlord of its consent to any
assignment or sublease with respect to the Premises, no such assignee or
sublessee may exercise any expansion option, right of first refusal option, or
renewal option under this Lease except in accordance with a separate written
agreement entered into directly between such assignee or sublessee and Landlord,
and, absent Landlord’s written agreement to the contrary, all option rights of
Tenant, and all lease rights of Tenant created pursuant to the exercise of any
option rights, with respect to any space so assigned or subleased shall be
extinguished.

 

 

12.

HOLDING OVER.

 

 

 

          If Tenant remains in possession after the expiration of the Term, or
the termination of this Lease, it shall be a tenant at sufferance only and there
shall be no renewal hereof by operation of law. In such event, such occupancy
shall be at an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base
Monthly Rental in effect immediately prior to the expiration or termination of
this Lease and shall otherwise be subject to all of the covenants and provisions
of this Lease (including, without limitation, Paragraph 7) insofar as the same
are applicable to a month-to-month tenancy.

- 2 -

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

 

Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all damages incurred by Landlord as a
result, in whole or in part, of Tenant’s failure to deliver possession of the
Premises to Landlord upon expiration or termination of the Term.

 

 

13.

ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS.

 

 

 

See Special Stipulation #7

 

 

 

          (b) If Tenant’s actions, omissions or occupancy of the Premises shall
cause the rate of fire or other insurance either on the Building or the Premises
to be increased and provided Landlord gives Tenant notice of such increase,
Tenant shall pay, as additional rent, the amount of any such increase promptly
upon demand by Landlord.

 

 

 

          (c) All erections, additions, fixtures and improvements, whether
temporary or permanent in character (except only the movable office furniture of
Tenant) made in or upon the Premises, shall be and remain Landlord’s property
and shall remain upon the Premises at the termination of this Lease by lapse of
time or otherwise, with no compensation to Tenant, Landlord reserves the right
to require Tenant to remove any such improvements or additions at the
termination hereof or within fifteen (15) days thereafter. Landlord may, at its
election, repair any damage to the Premises caused by or in connection with the
removal of any articles of personal property, business or trade fixtures,
alterations, improvements and installations, and all costs for such repairs
shall be at Tenant’s expense.

 

 

14.

REPAIRS TO THE PREMISES.

 

 

 

See Special Stipulation #8

 

 

15.

ENTRY BY LANDLORD.

 

 

 

          Landlord or its agents may enter the Premises at reasonable hours to
exhibit same to prospective purchasers or tenants, to inspect the Premises to
see that Tenant is complying with all of its obligations hereunder, and to make
repairs, improvements, alterations or additions which Landlord shall deem
necessary for the safety, preservation or improvement of the Building or to make
repairs or modifications to any adjoining space. Landlord shall be allowed to
take all material into and upon the Premises that may be required to make such
repairs, improvements, alterations or additions for the benefit of Tenant
without in any way being deemed or held guilty of an eviction of Tenant, and the
Base Monthly Rental, Additional Rent and other charges hereunder shall in no
wise abate while said repairs, improvements, alterations or additions are being
made. All such repairs, improvements, alterations and additions shall be done
during ordinary business hours, or, if any such work is at the request of Tenant
to be done during any other hours, Tenant shall pay for all overtime costs.

 

 

16.

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.

 

 

 

See Special Stipulation #9

 

 

 

          (a) In addition to the circumstances hereinbefore set forth, the
occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a material breach and
default of this Lease by Tenant:

 

 

 

                    (i) the filing of any voluntary petition or similar pleading
under any section or sections of any bankruptcy or insolvency act by or against
Tenant or the institution of any voluntary or involuntary proceeding in any
court or tribunal to declare Tenant insolvent or unable to pay Tenant’s debts as
they mature and, in the case of an involuntary petition or proceeding, the
petition or proceeding is not dismissed within thirty (30) days from the date it
is filed, or the making of an assignment for the benefit of its creditors by
Tenant, or the appointment of a trustee or receiver for Tenant or for the major
part of Tenant’s property;

 

 

 

                    (ii)

 

 

 

                    (iii) the levy, execution or attachment against assets of
Tenant located in the Premises; or

 

 

 

                    (iv) Tenant’s failure to take possession or occupancy of, or

or the Premises (or any substantial portion thereof) otherwise becoming vacant.

 

 

 

          (b) In the event of any default as aforesaid by Tenant, Landlord, in
addition to any and all other rights or remedies it may have at law or in
equity, shall have the option of pursuing any one or more of the following
remedies:

 

 

 

                    (i) Landlord shall have the immediate right of reentry and
may remove all property from the Premises to 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, damage or damages which may be
occasioned thereby;

 

 

 

                    (ii) Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving notice of
termination, in which event this Lease shall expire and terminate on the date
specified in such notice of termination, with the same force and effect as
though the date so specified were the date herein originally fixed as the
termination date of the Term of this Lease, and all rights of Tenant under this
Lease and in and to the Premises shall expire and terminate, and Tenant shall
remain liable for all obligations under this Lease arising up to the date of
such termination and Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord on the date
specified in such notice;

 

 

 

                    (iii) Landlord may terminate this Lease as provided in
subparagraph 16(b)(ii) 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 then value of the excess, if
any, of (A) the Base Monthly Rental, Additional Rent, 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 (B) the aggregate
reasonable rental value of the Premises (less reasonable brokerage commissions,
attorneys’ fees and other costs relating to the reletting of the Premises) for
the same period, all of which excess sum shall be deemed immediately due and
payable;

 

 

 

                    (v) Landlord may, from time to time without terminating this
Lease, and without releasing Tenant in whole or in part from Tenant’s obligation
to pay Base Monthly Rental, Additional Rent and all other amounts due under this
Lease and perform all of the covenants, conditions and agreements to be
performed by Tenant as provided in this Lease, make such alterations and repairs
as may be necessary in order to relet the Premises, and, after making such
alterations and repairs, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, relet the
Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term
extending beyond the Term of this Lease) at such rental or rentals and upon such
other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable
or acceptable; upon each reletting, all rentals received by Landlord from such
reletting shall be applied first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than
rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord, second, to the payment of any costs
and expenses of such reletting, including brokerage fees and attorneys’ fees,
and of costs of such alterations and repairs, third, to the payment of the Base
Monthly Rental, Additional Rent and other charges due and unpaid hereunder, and
the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied against payments of
future Base Monthly Rental, Additional Rent or other charges as the same may
become due and payable hereunder; in no event shall Tenant be entitled to any
excess rental received by Landlord over and above charges that Tenant is
obligated to pay hereunder, including Base Monthly Rental, Additional Rent and
all other charges; if such rentals received from such reletting during any month
are less than those to

- 3 -

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

 

be paid during the month by Tenant hereunder, including Base Monthly Rental,
Additional Rent and all other charges, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to
Landlord, which deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly; Tenant shall
also pay Landlord as soon as ascertained and upon demand all costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord in connection with such reletting and in making any
alterations and repairs which are not covered by the rentals received from such
reletting: notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may
at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.

 

 

 

          (c) Landlord’s reentry, demand for possession, notice that the tenancy
hereby created will be terminated on the date therein named, institution of an
action of forcible detainer or ejectment or the entering of a judgment for
possession in such action or any other act or acts resulting in the termination
of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises shall not relieve Tenant from
Tenant’s obligation to pay all sums due hereunder, except as herein expressly
provided. Landlord may collect and receive any Base Monthly Rental, Additional
Rent or other charges due from Tenant, and the payment thereof shall not
constitute a waiver of or affect any notice or demand given, suit instituted or
judgment obtained by Landlord, or be held to waive, affect, change, modify or
alter the rights or remedies which Landlord has in equity or at law or by virtue
of this Lease.

 

 

 

          (d) In the event Landlord commences any proceedings for nonpayment of
Base Monthly Rental, Additional Rent or other sums due hereunder, Tenant will
not interpose any counterclaim of whatever nature or description which is not
directly related to the Lease in any such proceeding. This shall not, however,
be construed as a waiver of Tenant’s right to assert such claims in any separate
action or actions brought by Tenant. Tenant hereby expressly and voluntarily
waives any right to jury trial with respect to any action brought under or with
respect to this Lease, and Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that any
such action must be brought in a court located in DeKalb County, Georgia, and
having jurisdiction therein.

 

 

 

          (e) All sums past due under this Lease shall bear interest at eighteen
percent (18%) per annum, but in no event in excess of the maximum lawful rate,
from due date until paid-in-full.

 

 

 

          (f) Except as expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant hereby waives
any and every form of demand and notice prescribed by statute or other law,
including without limitation the notice of any election of remedies made by
Landlord under this Paragraph, demand for payment of any rent, or demand for
possession.

 

 

 

          (g) All rights and remedies of Landlord created or otherwise existing
at law are cumulative, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall
not be taken to exclude or waive the right to exercise any other.

 

 

 

          (h) Tenant shall and hereby agrees to pay all costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord in enforcing any of the covenants and agreements of this
Lease, or as a result of an action brought by Landlord against Tenant for an
unlawful detainer of the Premises, and all such costs, expenses and attorneys’
fees shall, if paid by Landlord, be paid by Tenant to Landlord within fifteen
(15) days of Landlord’s written demand therefor, together with interest at
eighteen percent (18%) per annum, but in no event in excess of the maximum
lawful rate, from the date of Landlord’s payment thereof.

 

 

17.

LANDLORD’S SERVICES.

 

 

 

See Special Stipulation #10

 

 

 

          (a) Landlord shall render services and supplies incidental to this
Lease in accordance with and as described in this Paragraph 17, as follows:

 

 

 

                    (i) Landlord shall cause the Premises to be cleaned.

 

 

 

                    (ii) Landlord shall furnish electric current for Building
standard tenant lighting and small business machinery only from electric
circuits designated by Landlord for Tenant’s use. Such circuits will be fed into
one or more of the existing electrical panel(s) in the electrical closets
located on the same Building floor as the Premises. Tenant’s usage of said
panels on any given floor shall not exceed Tenant’s pro rata share (based on
rentable square footage) of the panels’ capacity. Tenant will not use any
electrical equipment which in Landlord’s opinion will overload the wiring
installations or interfere with the reasonable use thereof by other users in the
Building. Tenant will not, without Landlord’s prior written consent in each
instance, connect any items such as non-Building standard tenant lighting,
vending equipment, printing or duplicating machines, computers (other than
desktop word processors and personal computers), auxiliary air conditioners, and
other computer-related equipment to the Building’s electrical system, or make
any alteration or addition to the system. If Tenant desires any such items,
additional 208/120 volt electrical power beyond that supplied by Landlord as
provided above, electric current in excess of 208/120 volts for purposes other
than Building standard tenant lighting, or other special power requirements or
circuits, then Tenant may request Landlord to provide such supplemental power or
circuits to the Premises, which request Landlord may grant or withhold in its
reasonable discretion. If Landlord furnishes such power or circuits, Tenant
shall pay Landlord, on demand, the cost of the design, installation and
maintenance of the facilities required to provide such additional or special
electric power or circuits and the cost of all electric current so provided at a
rate not to exceed that which would be charged by Georgia Power Company, or its
successor, if Tenant were a direct customer thereof. Landlord may require
separate electrical metering of such supplemental electrical power or circuits
to the Premises, and Tenant shall pay, on demand, the cost of the design,
installation and maintenance of such metering facilities. In no event shall
Tenant have access to any electrical closets in the Building, it being agreed
that any electrical engineering design or contract work shall be performed at
Tenant’s expense by Landlord or an electrical engineer and/or electrical
contractor designated by Landlord. All invoices respecting the design,
installation and maintenance of the facilities requested by Tenant shall be paid
within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt thereof. Landlord’s charge to Tenant
for the cost of electric current so provided shall be paid within thirty (30)
days of receipt of invoice by Tenant.

 

 

 

                    (iii) Landlord shall furnish seasonable air conditioning and
heating during normal business hours (8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through
Friday and 8:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. Saturday), said heat or air conditioning
not being furnished Sunday or holidays observed by Landlord. Should Tenant
desire either heating or air conditioning at other times. Landlord agrees to
provide same upon reasonable advance written request by Tenant, but at Tenant’s
expense at such hourly rates as may be determined from time to time by Landlord,
which charge Tenant shall pay promptly upon being billed therefor. If Tenant
installs equipment which in Landlord’s opinion produces enough heat to cause
comfort problems in the Building or any part thereof, or if Tenant desires a
supplemental air conditioning system and Landlord has approved same, then
Landlord may, at its option, either cause to be designed or permit Tenant to
design a supplemental air conditioning system, subject to Landlord’s approval,
and Landlord shall install such system substantially in accordance with such
design. If Tenant has requested such supplemental system. Tenant shall be
responsible for determining that the design of such system is adequate for its
needs. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord for such equipment, design, installation,
metering and consumption of electricity for supplemental air conditioning and to
maintain such equipment at Tenant’s expense. If such supplemental air
conditioning is installed at the request of either Tenant or Landlord in a
manner that utilizes the Building condenser water loop, Tenant shall pay a
one-time tap fee, payable within thirty (30) days of invoicing from Landlord, of
THREE HUNDRED EIGHTY AND NO/100THS DOLLARS ($ 380.00) per ton of cooling
equipment installed. Tenant shall also pay for the necessary pump and piping to
connect the supplemental air conditioning equipment to the Building condenser
water risers. Regardless of whether such supplemental air conditioning is tapped
into the Building condenser water loop, Tenant shall pay (in addition to the
one-time tap fee, if applicable) each calendar quarter in advance, as additional
rent, a usage charge based upon the tonnage of the cooling equipment installed.
At the commencement of the Term, this usage charge shall be EIGHTY AND NO/100THS
DOLLARS ($80.00) per ton per year of cooling equipment. Such usage charge may be
increased at any time and from time to time by the same percentage increase from
the date of the last usage charge adjustment if any, in the officially
authorized rate schedule of Georgia Power Company, or its successors, applicable
to the Building; provided, however, that in no event will such usage charge, as
increased hereunder, ever be decreased pursuant to any adjustments hereunder, it
being agreed that if such a decrease would result, then no adjustment would be
made until the next adjustment hereunder. Each adjustment may be made effective
as of the effective date of such Georgia Power Company rate schedule adjustment
and shall remain in effect until the next adjustment is made hereunder.

 

 

 

          (b) Landlord shall not be liable for any damages directly or
indirectly resulting from the installation, use or interruption of use of any
equipment in connection with the furnishing of services referred to in this
Paragraph, and particularly any interruption in services by any cause beyond the
immediate control of Landlord, provided Landlord shall use reasonable diligence
in the restoration of such services.

 

 

18.

DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES.

 

 

 

          Should the Premises be so damaged by fire or other cause that
rebuilding or repairs cannot be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days
from the date of the fire, or other cause of damage, then either Landlord or
Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to the other given within
thirty (30) days of the date of such damage or destruction, in which event rent
shall be abated from the date of such damage or destruction. However, if the
damage or destruction is such that rebuilding or repairs can be completed within
one hundred eighty (180) days.

- 4 -

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

 

Landlord covenants and agrees, subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 18,
to make such repairs with reasonable promptness and dispatch, and to allow
Tenant an abatement in the rent for such time as the Premises are untenantable
or proportionately for such portion of the Premises as shall be untenantable,
and Tenant covenants and agrees that the terms of this Lease shall not be
otherwise affected. Such repairs and restoration relating to Tenant’s initial
leasehold improvements or otherwise made by or for Tenant shall be made at
Tenant’s expense in accordance with plans and specifications approved by
Landlord and Tenant. Repairs and restoration to base Building improvements
required by this Lease to be furnished by Landlord at its expense (other than
Tenant’s initial leasehold improvements) shall be made at Landlord’s expense. In
no event shall Landlord be required to repair or replace any trade fixtures,
furniture, equipment or other property belonging to Tenant; nor shall Landlord
have any obligation to incur any cost to repair, reconstruct or restore the
Premises or the Building in excess of insurance proceeds from the casualty
necessitating such work that are made available to Landlord, under its sole
control, for such work. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Paragraph, Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair,
reconstruct or restore the Premises when the damage resulting from any casualty
contained under this Paragraph occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the
Term of this Lease.

 

 

19.

CONDEMNATION OF PREMISES.

 

 

 

          (a) If any part of the Premises shall be taken or appropriated by any
public or quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain, Landlord
shall have the right, at its option, to terminate this Lease effective as of the
date possession is taken by said authority (unless all of the Premises are so
taken in which case this Lease shall terminate), and shall be entitled to any
and all income, rent or award and any interest thereon whatsoever which may be
paid or made in connection with such public or quasi-public use or purpose.
Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord its entire interest in any and all such
awards, and shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any portion of
the unexpired Term. If a part of the Premises shall be so taken or appropriated,
and Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, the Base Monthly Rental
thereafter to be paid shall be reduced by an amount bearing the same ratio to
the total amount of Base Monthly Rental as the rentable area of the Premises so
taken bears to the entire Premises.

 

 

 

          (b) If any part of the Building other than the Premises shall be so
taken or appropriated, Landlord shall have the sole right, at its option, to
terminate this Lease and shall be entitled to the entire award as above
provided, and in such case Tenant shall likewise have no claim against Landlord
for the value of any unexpired Term of this Lease.

 

 

 

          (c) Nothing hereinbefore contained shall be deemed to deny to Tenant
its right to claim from the condemning authority compensation or damages for its
trade fixtures and personal property, provided the condemning authority makes a
separate award therefor.

 

 

20.

INSURANCE.

 

 

 

See Special Stipulation #11

 

 

 

          Tenant shall carry “all risk” coverage insurance insuring Tenant’s
interest in the improvements and betterments to the Premises, including initial
improvements installed by Landlord, and any and all furniture, equipment,
supplies and other property owned, leased, held or possessed by it and contained
therein, in an amount equal to the full replacement cost thereof, subject to
deductible amounts reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, plus business
interruption insurance respecting Tenant’s operations from the Premises in an
amount reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall also procure and
maintain throughout the Term a policy or policies of comprehensive general
liability insurance, including contractual liability, insuring Tenant, Landlord
and any other persons designated by Landlord, as additional insureds, against
any and all liabilities for injury to or death of a person or persons and for
damage to property occasioned by or arising out of any construction work being
done on the Premises, or arising out of the condition, use or occupancy of the
Premises, or in any way occasioned by or arising out of the activities of Tenant
or its agents, employees or licensees in the Premises, or other portions of the
Building, Building site and adjacent parking deck or parking areas in amounts
not less than $1,000,000 with respect to any one casualty or occurrence and
$100,000 with respect to property damage, including fire legal liability.
Landlord and Tenant shall each have included in all policies of insurance
respectively obtained by them with respect to the Building, Building site and
adjacent parking deck or parking areas and/or the Premises a waiver by the
insurer of all rights of subrogation against the other in connection with any
loss or damage thereby insured against. So long as both Landlord’s and Tenant’s
policies then in force include such mutual waiver of subrogation, Landlord and
Tenant, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each waive all right of recovery
against the other for, and agree to release the other from liability for, loss
or damage to the extent such loss or damage is covered by valid and collectible
insurance in effect at the time of such loss or damage. If such waiver of
subrogation shall not be obtainable or shall be obtainable only at a premium
over that chargeable without such waiver, the party seeking such waiver shall
notify the other thereof in writing, and the latter shall have ten (10) days in
which either (i) to procure on behalf of the notifying party insurance with such
waiver from a company or companies reasonably satisfactory to the notifying
party or (ii) to agree to pay such additional premium (in Tenant’s case, in the
proportion which the rentable square footage of the Premises bears to the total
rentable square footage of the area covered by the insurance policy of
Landlord). All insurance policies procured and maintained by Tenant pursuant to
this Paragraph 20 shall be carried with companies licensed to do business in the
State of Georgia reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and shall be noncancellable
except after thirty (30) days written notice to Landlord and any designees of
Landlord. Such policies or duly executed certificates of insurance with respect
thereto shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the date that Tenant takes
possession of the Premises, and renewals thereof as required shall be delivered
to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of each respective
policy term.

 

 

21.

USUFRUCT ONLY.

 

 

 

          This contract shall create the relationship of landlord and tenant
between Landlord and Tenant; no estate shall pass out of Landlord; Tenant has
only a usufruct, not subject to levy and sale.

 

 

22.

WAIVER.

 

 

 

          The waiver by Landlord of any breach of any term, covenant or
condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other term,
covenant or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or
condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of Base Monthly Rental,
Additional Rent or other sums due hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to
be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition
of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular payment so
accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the
time of acceptance of such payment. No covenant, term or condition of this Lease
shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord, unless such waiver is in
writing signed by Landlord.

 

 

23.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

 

 

 

          This Lease sets forth all the covenants, promises, agreements,
conditions and undertakings between Landlord and Tenant concerning the Premises,
and there are no covenants, promises, agreements, conditions or undertakings
other than as herein set forth. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or
addition to this Lease, except as to changes or additions to the Rules and
Regulations described in Paragraph 34, shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant
unless reduced to writing and signed by authorized representatives of each of
them.

 

 

24.

LANDLORD’S CONSENT.

 

 

 

          Except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, In every instance
herein in which Landlord is called upon to give its consent, such consent may be
withheld for any reason or for no reason, or if granted, may be subject to those
conditions which Landlord deems appropriate. No such consent shall be binding
upon Landlord unless made expressly in writing signed by Landlord.

 

 

25.

NOTICES.

 

 

 

          (a) Every notice, demand or request hereunder shall be in writing, and
shall be deemed to have been properly given if delivered personally or by
courier, with a signed receipt, or if deposited with the United States Postal

          (b) Tenant hereby appoints as his agent to receive the service of all
dispossessory or distraint proceedings and notices thereunder, and all notices
required under this Lease, the person in charge of or occupying the Premises at
the time; and if no person is in charge or occupying same, then such service or
notice may be made by attaching the same on the main entrance to the Premises. A
copy of all notices under this Lease shall also be sent to Tenant’s last address
of which notice was given to Landlord in accordance with this Paragraph 25, if
different from the Premises.

 

 

26.

TRANSFER OF TENANTS.

 

 

 

See Special Stipulation #12

 

 

 

          Landlord reserves the right, upon thirty (30) days written notice, to
transfer and remove Tenant from the Premises to any other space of substantially
equivalent size and area in the Park. Landlord shall bear the expense of said
removal as well as the expense of any renovations or alterations necessary to
make the new space conform in arrangement and layout with the original space
covered by this Lease.

 

 

27.

SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; ATTORNMENT.

 

 

 

          The covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained shall inure
to the benefit of and be binding upon Landlord, its successors and assigns, and
shall be binding upon Tenant, its heirs, executors, administrators, successors
and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Tenant and only such assigns of
Tenant to whom the assignment by Tenant has been consented to by Landlord.
Nothing contained in this Lease shall in any manner restrict Landlord’s right to
assign or encumber this Lease in its sole discretion provided, however, any
encumbrance or assignment shall not disturb Tenant’s right to quiet possess of
the Premises. Should Landlord assign this Lease as provided for above, or should
Landlord enter into a security deed or other mortgage affecting the Premises and
should the holder of such deed or mortgage succeed to the interest of Landlord,
Tenant shall be bound to said assignee or any such holder under all the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease for the balance of the Term hereof
remaining after such succession, and Tenant shall attorn to such succeeding
party as its Landlord under this Lease promptly under any such succession.
Tenant agrees that should any party so succeeding to the interest of Landlord
require a separate agreement of attornment regarding the matters covered by this
Lease, then Tenant shall enter into any such “attornment agreement,” provided
the same does not modify any of the provisions of this Lease and has no  adverse
effect upon Tenant’s continued occupancy of the Premises.

 

 

28.

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.

 

 

 

          Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of each of the
covenants and agreements of this Lease; provided, however, that failure of
Landlord to provide Tenant with any notification regarding adjustments in Base
Monthly Rental, reimbursements for any Operating Expense Increase or Estimated
Operating Expense Increase, or any other charges provided for hereunder, within
the time periods prescribed in this Lease shall not relieve Tenant of its
obligation to make such payments, which payments shall be made by Tenant at such
time as notice is subsequently given.

 

 

29.

CAPTIONS; GOVERNING LAW.

 

 

 

          The captions of this Lease are for convenience of reference only and
in no way define, limit or describe the scope or intent of this Lease. The laws
of the State of Georgia shall govern the validity, performance and enforcement
of this Lease.

 

 

30.

SEVERABILTY.

 

 

 

          Landlord and Tenant intend and believe that each provision in this
Lease is in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal laws and
judicial decisions. However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion
of any provision or provisions, in this Lease is ultimately determined by a
court of law to be in violation of any local, state or federal ordinance,
statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such
court shall declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Lease to be
illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the
intent both of Landlord and Tenant that such portion, provision or provisions
shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid
and enforceable, that the remainder of this Lease shall be construed as if such
illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or
provisions were not contained herein, and that the rights, obligations and
interest of Landlord and Tenant under the remainder of this Lease shall continue
in full force and effect, unless the amount of Base Monthly Rental, Additional
Rent or other charges payable hereunder is thereby decreased, in which event
Landlord may terminate this Lease.

 

 

31.

SUBORDINATION.

 

 

 

See Special Stipulation #13

 

 

 

          At the option of Landlord, Tenant agrees that this Lease shall remain
subject and subordinate to all present and future mortgages, deeds to secure
debt or other security instruments (the “Security Deeds”) affecting the Building
or the Premises, and Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver to Landlord such
certificate or certificates in writing as Landlord may request, showing the
subordination of the Lease to such Security Deeds, and in default of Tenant so
doing. Landlord shall be and is hereby authorized and empowered to execute such
certificate in the name of and as the act and deed of Tenant, this authority
being hereby declared to be coupled with an interest and to be irrevocable.
Tenant shall upon request from Landlord at any time and from time to time
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a written statement certifying as
follows: (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if
there has been modification thereof, that the same is in full force and effect
as modified and stating the nature thereof); (ii) that to the best of its
knowledge there are no uncured defaults on the part of Landlord (or if any such
default exists, the specific nature and extent thereof); (iii) the date to which
any rent and other charges have been paid in advance, if any; and (iv) such
other matters as Landlord may reasonably request. Tenant irrevocably appoints
Landlord as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to execute and
deliver, for and in the name of Tenant, any document or instrument provided for
in this Paragraph.

 

 

32.

ATTORNEYS’ FEES.

 

 

 

See Special Stipulation #14

 

 

33.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

Lease shall be limited solely to Landlord’s interest in the Building, and
neither Landlord nor any of the joint venturers of Landlord, nor any officer,

printed upon this instrument on the attached Exhibit B shall be and are hereby

SPECIAL STIPULATIONS.

SPECIAL STIPULATIONS

1.

COMPLETION OF IMPROVEMENTS

 

 

 

Landlord shall perform the work to be performed by Landlord with respect to the
Premises in accordance with the work schedule attached hereto as Exhibit C and
incorporated herein (the “Work Schedule”), and shall deliver possession of the
Premises to Tenant when same are ready for occupancy (that is, ready for Tenant
to move its personal property into the Premises). Upon such date on which the
Premises are ready for occupancy, Tenant agrees to accept delivery and enter
upon the Premises for the purpose of installing its personal property
contemporaneously with any remaining work of Landlord.

 

 

2.

POSSESSION

 

 

 

Notwithstanding anything contained in Paragraph 4 of the Lease, if Landlord
fails to deliver possession of the Premises substantially completed and ready
for Tenant’s occupancy by April 15, 1993, and if such failure is for reason
other than a delay caused by Tenant, then Tenant shall have the right to
terminate this Lease effective April 15, 1993 without penalty by providing
Landlord with written notice within five (5) days after April 15, 1993.

 

 

3.

BASE MONTHLY RENTAL

 

 

 

Tenant shall pay in advance to Landlord in care of Agent at Agent’s address for
notice set out in Paragraph 25 hereof, or at such other place as Landlord shall
designate in writing, promptly, without demand, on the first day of each month
during the Term a base monthly rental (the “Base Monthly Rental”), in the amount
determined according to the following schedule:

If the Term commences on a day other than the first day of a month, or
terminates on a day other than the last day of a month, the Base Monthly Rental
for the first and last partial month shall be prorated based upon the actual
number of days in such a month. The Base Monthly Rental shall be due and payable
in all events, without any setoff or deduction whatsoever.

 

 

4.

BASE MONTHLY RENTAL ADJUSTMENT

 

 

 

Landlord and Tenant agree that at the end of each and every Lease Year, as
herein defined, during the Term, the Base Monthly Rental, as increased by
previous rental adjustments hereunder, shall be increased for the next
succeeding Lease Year by an amount equal to the product of (a) the Base Monthly
Rental, as increased by previous rental adjustments hereunder, at the end of the
Lease Year immediately preceding the Lease Year for which the increase is being
calculated, multiplied by (b) four percent (4%). Each adjustment shall remain in
effect until the next such annual adjustment is made. For all purposes under
this Special Stipulation 4, it shall be deemed that the Base Monthly Rental for
the first Lease Year shall be THREE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED NINETY FIVE AND 33/100
DOLLARS ($3,495.33), regardless of the amount actually paid, and all future
rental adjustments shall be calculated as if the Base Monthly Rental for the
first Lease Year were $3,495.33.

 

 

 

Whenever the term “Additional Rent” appears as contained in the Lease, such
reference shall apply to rental adjustments as called for in Special Stipulation
4 herein.

 

 

5.

TENANT’S ACCEPTANCE

 

 

 

Tenant’s acceptance of the Premises as provided for in Paragraph 10 herein,
shall be subject to “punch list items” which are details of construction, which,
in the aggregate, are minor in character and do not materially interfere with
Tenant’s use or enjoyment of the Premises. Within ten (10) days after the date
of substantial completion of the improvements to the Premises, Landlord’s
representative and Tenant’s representative shall inspect the Premises for
purposes of compiling a list of punch list items. Landlord shall be obligated to
correct the punch list items within thirty (30) days after completion of said
punch list, unless any item or items included on said punch list cannot
reasonably be completed within thirty (30) days, in which case Landlord shall
have begun

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

 

correcting and diligently pursues the correction of those items within said
thirty (30) day period.

 

 

6.

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

 

 

 

Landlord’s consent to Tenant’s request to a sublease or an assignment of the
Lease shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, in determining
whether or not to give or withhold its approval to any proposed sublessee or
assignee hereunder, Landlord is entitled to consider, without limitation, the
creditworthiness of such proposed sublessee or assignee, the character and/or
type of business of such proposed sublessee or assignee, the impact of such
sublessee or assignee and its business on the image of the Building and the
project, and whether or not such sublessee or assignee will favorably coexist
and mix with, and not detract from the character and quality of the Building as
a first class, top quality office building.

 

 

 

Tenant recognizes and acknowledges that Landlord’s concern for the quality,
character, image and tenant mix of the Building and tenants within the Building
is for the protection and benefit of Tenant and all other tenants in the
Building, and that failure of Landlord to give its approval to a proposed
sublessee or assignee hereunder shall not be unreasonable where Landlord
determines that the proposed sublessee or assignee will detract from the
quality, character, image and/or tenant mix of the Building as required for a
first-class, top-quality office building.

 

 

 

Landlord may elect to terminate the Lease pursuant to Paragraph 11 (b)(l),
provided however, Tenant shall have five (5) days from receipt of Landlord’s
notice of intent to terminate to withdraw Tenant’s request to assign or
sublease.

 

 

7.

ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS

 

 

 

Paragraph 13 (a) of the Lease shall read as follows: No alteration in, or
addition to, the Premises will be made without first obtaining Landlord’s prior
written consent, and any such work consented to shall be paid for by Tenant and
shall be performed by Landlord.

 

 

 

If such alteration or addition involves the mechanical, electrical, or plumbing
systems of the Building, or affects any portion of the Building other than the
Premises, or is visible from outside the Premises, then Landlord may withhold
its consent for any reason or for no reason.

 

 

 

If such alteration or addition does not involve the mechanical, electrical, or
plumbing systems of the Building, and does not affect any portion of the
Building other than the Premises, and is not visible from the outside of the
Premises then, notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 24 of the Lease,
Landlord’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

 

8.

REPAIRS TO THE PREMISES

 

 

 

Landlord shall keep and maintain in good repair and working order and make all
repairs to and perform necessary maintenance upon the land and common Building
facilities, including, but not limited to, the structural components, and base
Building mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems; paved areas and drives,
landscaping, exterior walls and roof; and interior walls, floors and ceilings of
the common Building facilities. Subject to the foregoing, Tenant shall at its
own cost and expense, keep in good repair all portions of the Premises,
including but not limited to, interior windows within the Premises (not to
include exterior windows of the Building shell whether or not exposed to the
outside of the Building, unless same is damaged by the fault of the Tenant),
glass and plate glass, doors, any special store front, interior walls and finish
work, floors and floor coverings, and supplemental or special heating and air

purpose for which the Premises are leased. Tenant shall maintain and replace, at
its cost and expense, all light bulbs and fixtures in the Premises that are not

Tenant’s failure to pay the Base Monthly Rental, Additional Rent or any other
sum due hereunder if such non-payment continues for five (5) or more days after
Tenant’s receipt of written notice from Landlord of such non-payment, (provided,
however, that any failure to make any such payment on or before its due date
shall constitute an event of default after two

SPECIAL STIPULATIONS

(2) notices of late payments in any one calendar year), or Tenant’s default in
the prompt and full performance of any other provision of this Lease and Tenant

Landlord reserves the right to “self insure” any of its obligations with respect
to this Lease.

 

 

12.

TRANSFER OF TENANTS

 

 

 

In the event that Landlord exercises its right under Paragraph 26 herein,
Landlord shall be responsible for actual and reasonable expenses incurred by

relocation of telephone equipment. Landlord shall also be responsible for
providing that the “build-out of such substitute space shall be reasonably
similar to that of the original Premises.

 

 

13.

SUBORDINATION

 

 

 

Notwithstanding anything contained in Paragraph 31 herein to the contrary, the
subordination of this Lease and Tenant’s rights hereunder to any security deed
is and shall be conditioned upon the holder of such security deed agreeing that
this Lease and Tenant’s rights hereunder shall not be disturbed so long as there

Right, Tenant shall so notify Landlord in writing no earlier than nine (9)
months prior to the end of the Term, as extended pursuant to Paragraph 1 herein,
and Landlord shall advise Tenant, within thirty (30) days of such notice, of the
“then current market rate” for the Extension Term.

agent commission salesman, or other person other than CTR Partners: (the
“Broker”) has represented Tenant in the negotiations for this Second Agreement
Amending Lease, and that no commissions, fees, or compensations of any kind are
due and payable in connection herewith to any broker, agent, commission
salesman, or other persons acting for or on behalf of Tenant, except Broker.
Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, cost and
damage (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) suffered or
incurred by Landlord as a result of the breach by Tenant of the representation
and warranty contained in the immediately preceding sentence or as a result of
Tenant’s failure to pay commissions, fees or compensation due to any broker
(other than Broker) who represented Tenant, whether or not disclosed.

THIRD AMENDMENT TO LEASE

          THIS THIRD AMENDMENT TO LEASE (the “Third Amendment”), entered into
this 16th day of December, 1997, by and between BEACON PROPERTIES, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (the “Landlord”), and CRESCENT BANK AND TRUST
COMPANY, a Georgia corporation (the “Tenant”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

          WHEREAS, by Lease dated February 4, 1993 (the “Original Lease”),
Perimeter Center/South Terraces Associates leased to Tenant certain premises
located in Atlanta, Georgia, and more particularly known as 115 Perimeter Center
Place (the “Building”), on the Second (2nd) Floor, west wing, known as Suite
285, Atlanta, Georgia, 30346 (the “Premises”), for a period of forty-two (42)
months, commencing February 15, 1993 and ending on August 15, 1996 (the “Term”);
and

          WHEREAS, subsequent to Perimeter Center/South Terraces Associates
entering into the Lease, Beacon Properties, L.P. succeeded to the interest
thereof by acquiring all rights and interest in the Building; and

          WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant did enter into that certain First
Agreement Amending Lease (the “First Amendment”), dated as of September 20,
1993; and

          WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant did enter into that certain Second
Agreement Amending Lease (the “Second Amendment”) dated as of June 13, 1996; and

          WHEREAS, the Original Lease, as modified by the First Amendment and
Second Amendment, is herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Lease”;
and

          WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant mutually agree to amend the Lease as
hereinafter set forth;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, obligations
and covenants contained in the Lease, as hereby amended, the parties hereto
intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

          1.     Effective Date. (a) The effective date of this Third Amendment
shall be March 1, 1998 (the “Effective Date”). This Third Amendment shall be
binding on Landlord and Tenant upon the due execution and delivery of this Third
Amendment, even if the Effective Date shall not as yet have occurred.

          2.     Premises and Expansion Space. From and after the Effective
Date, Tenant hereby leases and rents from Landlord, and Landlord hereby leases
and rents to Tenant, an additional 1,915 rentable square feet in the Building,
in the area as shown on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and by this reference
incorporated herein, known as Suite 285, in the West Wing (the “Expansion
Space”), so

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

that the Premises shall consist of a total of 6,882 rentable square feet from
and after the Effective Date. Any reference in the Lease or this Third Amendment
to the Premises shall refer to the 6,882 rentable square feet leased as a result
of the Lease and this Third Amendment (except for the provisions set forth
inthis Third Amendment which apply to the Expansion Space).

          3.     Term.  The term of the Lease for the Premises and the Expansion
Space shall be co-terminus.  Therefore, the term of Lease for the Expansion
Space shall begin on the Effective Date and shall end on August 31, 2001, unless
sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of the Lease.

          4.     Base Monthly Rental. (a) The Base Monthly Rental due for the
Expansion Space from Tenant shall be, from and after the Effective Date, at the

and not in lieu of amounts due under the Lease for the Premises. Such amounts
shall be paid by Tenant at the time and in the manner that Base Monthly Rental
is payable under the Original Lease.

and Tenant leases and rents the Expansion Space “as is, where is”, with no
obligation on the part of Landlord to provide any work therein. However, Tenant
shall have a tenant fit-up and finish work allowance available of up to Six and
50/100 Dollars ($6.50) per rentable square foot within the Expansion Space, or

Amendment.

that no broker, agent, commission salesman, or other person other than CTR has
represented Tenant in the negotiations for or in connection with this Third
Amendment, and that no commissions, fees, or compensations of any kind are due
and payable in connection herewith to any broker, agent, commission salesman, or
other persons acting for or on behalf of Tenant, except CTR. Tenant agrees to
indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, cost and damage (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) suffered or incurred by Landlord as
a result of the breach by Tenant of the representation and warranty contained in
the immediately preceding sentence or as a result of Tenant’s failure to pay
commissions, fees or compensation due to any broker (other than CTR) who
represented Tenant, whether or not disclosed.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have herein set their hands and

FOURTH AMENDMENT

          THIS FOURTH AMENDMENT (the “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of
the 27th day of July, 1999, by and between EOP-PERIMETER CENTER, L.L.C., a
Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and CRESCENT BANK AND TRUST
COMPANY, a Georgia corporation (“Tenant”).

WITNESSETH

A.

WHEREAS, Landlord (as successor by merger to Beacon Properties, L.P., the
successor in interest to Perimeter Center/South Terraces Associates) and Tenant
are parties to that certain lease dated the 4th day of February, 1993, for space
currently containing approximately 6,882 rentable square feet (the “Original
Premises”) described as Suite No. 285 on the 2nd floor of the building commonly
known as South Terraces and the address of which is 115 Perimeter Center Place,
Atlanta, Georgia, 30346 (the “Building”), which lease has been previously
amended by instruments dated September 20, 1993 (the “First Amendment”), June
13, 1996 (the “Second Amendment”) and December 16, 1997 (the “Third Amendment”)
(collectively, the “Lease”); and

 

 

B.

WHEREAS, Tenant has requested that additional space known as Suite 830
containing approximately 812 rentable square feet on the 8th floor of the
Building shown on Exhibit A hereto (the “Expansion Space”) be added to the
Original Premises and that the Lease be appropriately amended and Landlord is
willing to do the same on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant
agree as follows:

I.

Expansion and Effective Date.

 

 

 

 

A.

Effective as of August 1, 1999 (the “Expansion Effective Date”), the Premises,
as defined in the Lease, is increased from 6,882 rentable square feet on the 2nd
floor to 7,694 rentable square feet on the 2nd and 8th floors by the addition of
the Expansion Space, and from and after the Expansion Effective Date, the
Original Premises and the Expansion Space, collectively, shall be deemed the
Premises, as defined in the Lease.  The Term for the Expansion Space shall
commence on the Expansion Effective Date and, unless sooner terminated pursuant
to the terms of the Lease, end on (the “Termination Date”), which the parties
hereby agree for purposes of the Lease and this Amendment is deemed to mean
August 31, 2001.  The Expansion Space is subject to all the terms and conditions
of the Lease except as expressly modified herein and except that Tenant shall
not be entitled to receive any allowances, abatements or other financial
concessions granted with respect to the Original Premises unless such
concessions are expressly provided for herein with respect to the Expansion
Space.

 

 

 

 

B.

The Expansion Effective Date shall be delayed to the extent that Landlord fails
to deliver possession of the Expansion Space for any other reason (other than
Delays by Tenant), including but not limited to, holding over by prior
occupants.  Any such delay in the Expansion Effective Date shall not subject
Landlord to any liability for any loss or damage resulting therefrom.  If the
Expansion Effective Date is delayed, the Termination Date under the Lease shall
not be similarly extended.

 

 

II.

Base Monthly Rental.

 

 

 

In addition to Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Monthly Rental for the Original
Premises, Tenant shall pay Landlord the sum of $42,147.54 as aggregate Base
Monthly Rental for the Expansion Space in 25 monthly installments as follows:

 

 

 

A.

Twelve (12) equal installments of $1,657.83 each payable on or before the first
day of each month during the period beginning August 1, 1999 and ending July 31,
2000, provided that the installment of Base Monthly Rental for the first full
calendar month of the Term for the Expansion Space shall be payable upon the
execution of this Amendment by Tenant.

1

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

 

B.

Twelve (12) equal installments of $1,707.91 each payable on or before the first
day of each month during the period beginning August 1, 2000 and ending July 31,
2001.

 

 

 

 

C.

One (1) equal installment of $1,758.66 payable on or before the first day of the
month during the period beginning August 1, 2001 and ending August 31, 2001.

 

 

 

 

All such Base Monthly Rental shall be payable by Tenant in accordance with the
terms of the Lease.

 

 

III.

Additional Security Deposit.  Not applicable to the Expansion Space.

 

 

IV.

Operating Costs and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share.  For the period commencing with the
Expansion Effective Date and ending on the Termination Date (such period is
referred to in this Section IV as the “Additional Term”), the following
provisions shall apply with respect to the Expansion Space:

 

 

 

 

A.

Payments.  Tenant shall pay Landlord, without any setoff or deduction, the total
amount of Base Monthly Rental and Additional Rent (defined in Subsection F
below) due during the Additional Term.  Base Monthly Rental and recurring
monthly charges of Additional Rent shall be due and payable in advance on the
first day of each calendar month without notice or demand, provided that the
installment of Base Monthly Rental for the first full calendar month of the
Additional Term shall be payable upon the execution of this Amendment by
Tenant.  All other items of Rent (defined in Subsection F below) shall be due
and payable by Tenant on or before 30 days after billing by Landlord.  All
payments of Rent shall be by good and sufficient check or by other means (such
as automatic debit or electronic transfer) acceptable to Landlord.  If Tenant
fails to pay any item or installment of Rent when due, Tenant shall pay Landlord
an administration fee equal to 5% of the past due Rent, provided that Tenant
shall be entitled to a grace period of 5 days for the first 2 late payments of
Rent in a given calendar year.  Landlord’s acceptance of less than the correct
amount of Rent shall be considered a payment on account of the earliest Rent
due.  No endorsement or statement on a check or letter accompanying a check or
payment shall be considered an accord and satisfaction, and either party may
accept the check or payment without prejudice to that party’s right to recover
the balance or pursue other available remedies.  Tenant’s covenant to pay Rent
is independent of every other covenant in this Lease.  If the Additional Term
commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month or terminates on
a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the Base Monthly Rental and
Tenant’s Pro Rata Share (defined in Subsection F below) of any Tax Excess
(defined in Subsection B below) or Expense Excess (defined in Subsection B
below) for the month shall be prorated based on the number of days in such
calendar month.  Tenant shall pay and be liable for all rental, sales and use
taxes (but excluding income taxes), if any, imposed upon or measured by Rent
(defined below) under applicable law.

 

 

 

 

B.

Expense Excess and Tax Excess.  Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the
amount, if any, by which Expenses (defined in Subsection C below) for each
calendar year during the Additional Term exceed Expenses for the Base Year
(defined in Subsection F below) (the “Expense Excess”) and also the amount, if
any, by which Taxes (defined in Subsection D below) for each calendar year
during the Additional Term exceed Taxes for the Base Year (the “Tax Excess”). 
If Expenses and/or Taxes in any calendar year decrease below the amount of
Expenses and/or Taxes for the Base Year, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Expenses
and/or Taxes, as the case may be, for that calendar year shall be $0.  Landlord
shall provide Tenant with a good faith estimate of the Expense Excess and of the
Tax Excess for each calendar year during the Additional Term.  On or before the
first day of each month, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a monthly installment
equal to one-twelfth of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Landlord’s estimate of the
Expense Excess and one-twelfth of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Landlord’s estimate
of the Tax Excess.  If Landlord determines that its good faith estimate of the
Expense Excess or of the Tax Excess was incorrect by a material amount, Landlord
may provide Tenant with a revised estimate.  After its receipt of the revised
estimate,

2

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

 

 

Tenant’s monthly payments shall be based upon the revised estimate.  If Landlord
does not provide Tenant with an estimate of the Expense Excess or of the Tax
Excess by January 1 of a calendar year, Tenant shall continue to pay monthly
installments based on the previous year’s estimate(s) until Landlord provides
Tenant with the new estimate.  Upon delivery of the new estimate, an adjustment
shall be made for any month for which Tenant paid monthly installments based on
the previous year’s estimate(s).  Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of any
underpayment within 30 days after receipt of the new estimate.  Any overpayment
shall be refunded to Tenant within 30 days or credited against the next due
future installment(s) of Additional Rent.

 

 

 

 

 

As soon as is practical following the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall
furnish Tenant with a statement of the actual Expenses and Expense Excess and
the actual Taxes and Tax Excess for the prior calendar year.  If the estimated
Expense Excess and/or estimated Tax Excess for the prior calendar year is more
than the actual Expense Excess and/or actual Tax Excess, as the case may be, for
the prior calendar year, Landlord shall apply any overpayment by Tenant against
Additional Rent due or next becoming due, provided if the Additional Term
expires before the determination of the overpayment, Landlord shall refund any
overpayment to Tenant after first deducting the amount of Rent due.  If the
estimated Expense Excess and/or estimated Tax Excess for the prior calendar year
is less than the actual Expense Excess and/or actual Tax Excess, as the case may
be, for such prior year, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within 30 days after its
receipt of the statement of Expenses and/or Taxes, any underpayment for the
prior calendar year.

 

 

 

 

C.

Expenses Defined.  “Expenses” means all costs and expenses incurred in each
calendar year in connection with operating, maintaining, repairing, and managing
the Building and the Property, including, but not limited to:

 

 

 

 

1.

Labor costs, including, wages, salaries, social security and employment taxes,
medical and other types of insurance, uniforms, training, and retirement and
pension plans.

 

 

 

 

2.

Management fees, the cost of equipping and maintaining a management office,
accounting and bookkeeping services, legal fees not attributable to leasing or
collection activity, and other administrative costs.  Landlord, by itself or
through an affiliate, shall have the right to directly perform or provide any
services under this Lease (including management services), provided that the
cost of any such services shall not exceed the cost that would have been
incurred had Landlord entered into an arms-length contract for such services
with an unaffiliated entity of comparable skill and experience.

 

 

 

 

3.

The cost of services, including amounts paid to service providers and the rental
and purchase cost of parts, supplies, tools and equipment.

 

 

 

 

4.

Premiums and deductibles paid by Landlord for insurance, including workers
compensation, fire and extended coverage, earthquake, general liability, rental
loss, elevator, boiler and other insurance customarily carried from time to time
by owners of comparable office buildings.

 

 

 

 

5.

Electrical Costs (defined below) and charges for water, gas, steam and sewer,
but excluding those charges for which Landlord is reimbursed by tenants. 
“Electrical Costs” means: (a) charges paid by Landlord for electricity; (b)
costs incurred in connection with an energy management program for the Property;
and (c) if and to the extent permitted by Law (defined in Subsection F below), a
fee for the services provided by Landlord in connection with the selection of
utility companies and the negotiation and administration of contracts for
electricity, provided that such fee shall not exceed 50% of any savings obtained
by Landlord.  Electrical Costs shall be adjusted as follows: (i) amounts
received by Landlord as reimbursement for above standard electrical consumption
shall be deducted from Electrical Costs; (ii) the cost of electricity incurred
to provide overtime HVAC to specific tenants (as reasonably estimated by

3

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

 

 

Landlord) shall be deducted from Electrical Costs; and (iii) if Tenant is billed
directly for the cost of building standard electricity to the Premises as a
separate charge in addition to Base Monthly Rental, the cost of electricity to
individual tenant spaces in the Building shall be deducted from Electrical
Costs.

 

 

 

 

6.

The amortized cost of capital improvements (as distinguished from replacement
parts or components installed in the ordinary course of business) made to the
Property which are: (a) performed primarily to reduce operating expense costs or
otherwise improve the operating efficiency of the Property; or (b) required to
comply with any Laws (defined in Subsection F below) that are enacted, or first
interpreted to apply to the Property, after the date of this Amendment.  The
cost of capital improvements shall be amortized by Landlord over the lesser of
the Payback Period (defined below) or 5 years.  The amortized cost of capital
improvements may, at Landlord’s option, include actual or imputed interest at
the rate that Landlord would reasonably be required to pay to finance the cost
of the capital improvement.  “Payback Period” means the reasonably estimated
period of time that it takes for the cost savings resulting from a capital
improvement to equal the total cost of the capital improvement.

 

 

 

If Landlord incurs Expenses for the Property together with one or more other
buildings or properties, whether pursuant to a reciprocal easement agreement,
common area agreement or otherwise, the shared costs and expenses shall be
equitably prorated and apportioned between the Property and the other buildings
or properties.  Expenses shall not include: the cost of capital improvements
(except as set forth above); depreciation; interest (except as provided above
for the amortization of capital improvements); principal payments of mortgage
and other non-operating debts of Landlord; the cost of repairs or other work to
the extent Landlord is reimbursed by insurance or condemnation proceeds; costs
in connection with leasing space in the Building, including brokerage
commissions; lease concessions, including rental abatements and construction
allowances, granted to specific tenants; costs incurred in connection with the
sale, financing or refinancing of the Building; fines, interest and penalties
incurred due to the late payment of Taxes (defined in Subsection D below) or
Expenses; organizational expenses associated with the creation and operation of
the entity which constitutes Landlord; or any penalties or damages that Landlord
pays to Tenant under this Lease or to other tenants in the Building under their
respective leases.  If the Building is not at least 95% occupied during any
calendar year or if Landlord is not supplying services to at least 95% of the
total Rentable Square Footage of the Building (defined in Subsection F below) at
any time during a calendar year, Expenses shall, at Landlord’s option, be
determined as if the Building had been 95% occupied and Landlord had been
supplying services to 95% of the Rentable Square Footage of the Building during
that calendar year.  If Tenant pays for its Pro Rata Share of Expenses based on
increases over a “Base Year” and Expenses for a calendar year are determined as
provided in the prior sentence, Expenses for the Base Year shall also be
determined as if the Building had been 95% occupied and Landlord had been
supplying services to 95% of the Rentable Square Footage of the Building.  The
extrapolation of Expenses under this Section shall be performed by appropriately
adjusting the cost of those components of Expenses that are impacted by changes
in the occupancy of the Building.

 

 

 

D.

Taxes Defined.  “Taxes” shall mean: (1) all real estate taxes and other
assessments on the Building and/or Property, including, but not limited to,
assessments for special improvement districts and building improvement
districts, taxes and assessments levied in substitution or supplementation in
whole or in part of any such taxes and assessments and the Property’s share of
any real estate taxes and assessments under any reciprocal easement agreement,
common area agreement or similar agreement as to the Property; (2) all personal
property taxes for property that is owned by Landlord and used in connection
with the operation, maintenance and repair of the Property; and (3) all costs
and fees incurred in connection with seeking reductions in any tax liabilities
described in (1) and (2), including, without limitation, any costs incurred by
Landlord for

4

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

 

 

compliance, review and appeal of tax liabilities.  Without limitation, Taxes
shall not include any income, capital levy, franchise, capital stock, gift,
estate or inheritance tax.  If an assessment is payable in installments, Taxes
for the year shall include the amount of the installment and any interest due
and payable during that year.  For all other real estate taxes, Taxes for that
year shall, at Landlord’s election, include either the amount accrued, assessed
or otherwise imposed for the year or the amount due and payable for that year,
provided that Landlord’s election shall be applied consistently throughout the
Additional Term.  If a change in Taxes is obtained for any year of the
Additional Term during which Tenant paid Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of any Tax
Excess, then Taxes for that year will be retroactively adjusted and Landlord
shall provide Tenant with a credit, if any, based on the adjustment.  Likewise,
if a change is obtained for Taxes for the Base Year, Taxes for the Base Year
shall be restated and the Tax Excess for all subsequent years shall be
recomputed.  Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of
any such increase in the Tax Excess within 30 days after Tenant’s receipt of a
statement from Landlord.

 

 

 

 

E.

Audit Rights.  Tenant may, within 90 days after receiving Landlord’s statement
of Expenses, give Landlord written notice (“Review Notice”) that Tenant intends
to review Landlord’s records of the Expenses for that calendar year.  Within a
reasonable time after receipt of the Review Notice, Landlord shall make all
pertinent records available for inspection that are reasonably necessary for
Tenant to conduct its review.  If any records are maintained at a location other
than the office of the Building, Tenant may either inspect the records at such
other location or pay for the reasonable cost of copying and shipping the
records.  If Tenant retains an agent to review Landlord’s records, the agent
must be with a licensed CPA firm.  Tenant shall be solely responsible for all
costs, expenses and fees incurred for the audit.  Within 60 days after the
records are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to give
Landlord written notice (an “Objection Notice”) stating in reasonable detail any
objection to Landlord’s statement of Expenses for that year.  If Tenant fails to
give Landlord an Objection Notice within the 60 day period or fails to provide
Landlord with a Review Notice within the 90 day period described above, Tenant
shall be deemed to have approved Landlord’s statement of Expenses and shall be
barred from raising any claims regarding the Expenses for that year.  If Tenant
provides Landlord with a timely Objection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall work
together in good faith to resolve any issues raised in Tenant’s Objection
Notice.  If Landlord and Tenant determine that Expenses for the calendar year
are less than reported, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit against the
next installment of Rent in the amount of the overpayment by Tenant.  Likewise,
if Landlord and Tenant determine that Expenses for the calendar year are greater
than reported, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of any underpayment within
30 days.  The records obtained by Tenant shall be treated as confidential.  In
no event shall Tenant be permitted to examine Landlord’s records or to dispute
any statement of Expenses unless Tenant has paid and continues to pay all Rent
when due.

and Base Monthly Rental are sometimes collectively referred to as “Rent”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.

“Base Year” shall mean the calendar year 1999.

 

 

 

 

 

 

4.

V.
Improvements to Expansion Space.
 
 

 

 

 
A.

Condition of Expansion Space.  Tenant has inspected the Expansion Space and
agrees to accept the same “as is” without any agreements, representations,
understandings or obligations on the part of Landlord to perform any
alterations, repairs or improvements, except as may be expressly provided
otherwise in this Amendment.

 
 

 

 
B.

Cost of Improvements to Expansion Space.  Provided Tenant is not in default,
Tenant shall be entitled to receive an improvement allowance (the “Expansion
Improvement Allowance”) in an amount not to exceed $3,451.00 (i.e., $4.25 per
rentable square foot of the Expansion Space) to be applied toward the cost of
performing initial construction, alteration or improvement of the Expansion
Space, including but not limited to the cost of space planning, design and
related architectural and engineering services.  In the event the total cost of
the initial improvements to the Expansion Space exceeds the Expansion
Improvement Allowance, Tenant shall pay for such excess upon demand.  The entire
unused balance of the Expansion Improvement Allowance, if any, shall accrue to
the sole benefit of Landlord.  Landlord shall pay such Expansion Improvement
Allowance directly to the contractors retained to perform the construction,
design or related improvement work to the Expansion Space.  Landlord shall be
entitled to deduct from the Expansion Improvement Allowance a construction
management fee for Landlord’s oversight of the improvements in an amount equal
to four and one-half percent (4½%) of the total cost of such improvements.

 
 

 

 

 
C.

Responsibility for Improvements to Expansion Space.  Landlord shall enter into a
direct contract for the initial improvements to the Expansion Space with a
general contractor selected by Landlord.  Tenant shall devote such time in
consultation with Landlord or Landlord’s architect as may be required to provide
all information Landlord deems necessary in order to enable Landlord to
complete, and obtain Tenant’s written approval of, the plans for the initial
improvements to the Expansion Space in a timely manner.  All plans for the
initial improvements to the Expansion Space shall be subject to Landlord’s
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  If the cost of such
improvements exceeds the Expansion Improvement Allowance, then prior to
commencing any construction of improvements to the Expansion Space, Landlord
shall submit to Tenant a written estimate setting forth the anticipated cost,
including but not limited to the cost of space planning, design and related
architectural and engineering services, labor and materials, contractor’s fees,
and permit fees.  Within a reasonable time thereafter, Tenant shall either
notify Landlord in writing of its approval of the cost estimate or specify its
objections thereto and any desired changes to the proposed improvements.  In the
event Tenant notifies Landlord of such objections and desired changes, Tenant
shall work with Landlord to reach a mutually acceptable alternative cost
estimate.

 
 

 

 

 
D.

Tenant acknowledges that the improvement work in the Expansion Space may be
performed by Landlord during normal business hours subsequent to the Expansion
Effective Date.  Landlord and Tenant agree to cooperate with each other in order
to enable such work to be performed in a timely manner and with as little
inconvenience to the operation of Tenant’s business as is reasonably possible. 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any delay in the completion of
the improvement work or inconvenience suffered by Tenant during the performance
of such work shall not subject Landlord to any liability for any loss or damage
resulting therefrom or entitle Tenant to any credit, abatement or adjustment of
rent or other sums payable under the Lease.

 
 

 

 

VI.

Early Access to Expansion Space.  During any period that Tenant shall be
permitted to enter the Expansion Space prior to the Expansion Effective Date
(e.g., to perform alterations or improvements, if any), Tenant shall comply with
all terms and provisions of

6

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

 

the Lease, except those provisions requiring payment of Base Monthly Rental or
Additional Rent as to the Expansion Space.  If Tenant takes possession of the
Expansion Space prior to the Expansion Effective Date for any reason whatsoever
(other than the performance of work in the Expansion Space with Landlord’s prior
approval), such possession shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of
the Lease and this Amendment, and Tenant shall pay Base Monthly Rental and
Additional Rent as applicable to the Expansion Space to Landlord on a per diem
basis for each day of occupancy prior to the Expansion Effective Date.

F.

Parking.  Effective as of the Expansion Effective Date, Special Stipulation 15,
“Parking”, of the Lease regarding the parking spaces which are available to
Tenant’s employees and visitors, is modified, with respect to the Expansion
Space, to provide a ratio of 3.5 unassigned parking spaces per 1,000 rentable

additional spaces are in satisfaction of, and not in addition to, the 3.0

RECITALS

A.

Landlord (as successor by merger to Beacon Properties, L.P., the successor in
interest to Perimeter Center/South Terraces Associates) and Tenant are parties
to that certain lease dated February 4, 1993, which lease has been previously
amended by instruments dated September 20, 1993) (the “First Amendment”), June
13, 1996 (the “Second Amendment”), December 16, 1997 (the “Third Amendment”),
and July 27, 1999 (the “Fourth Amendment”) (collectively, the “Lease”). Pursuant
to the Lease, Landlord has leased to Tenant space currently containing
approximately 7,694 rentable square feet (the “Current Premises”) described as
Suite Nos. 285 and 830 on the 2nd and 8th floors of the building commonly known
as South Terraces located at 115 Perimeter Center Place, Atlanta, Georgia 30346
(the “Building”).

 

 

B.

The Lease by its terms shall expire on August 31, 2001 (“Prior Termination
Date”), and the parties desire to extend the Term of the Lease, all on the
following terms and conditions.

 

 

C.

Tenant desires to surrender a portion of the Current Premises to Landlord
containing approximately 812 rentable square feet described as Suite No. 830 on
the 8th floor of the Building as shown on Exhibit A hereto (the “Reduction
Space”) and that the Lease be appropriately amended, and Landlord is willing to
accept such surrender on the following terms and conditions.

 

 

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant
agree as follows:

 

I.

Extension. The Term of the Lease is hereby extended for a period of sixty (60)
months and shall expire on August 31, 2006 (the “Extended Termination Date”),
unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of the Lease. That portion
of the Term commencing the day immediately following the Prior Termination Date
(“Extension Date”) and ending on the Extended Termination Date shall be referred
to herein as the “Extended Term”.

 

 

II.

Reduction.

 

 

 

 

 

A.

Tenant shall vacate the Reduction Space in accordance with the terms of the
Lease on or prior to August 31, 2001, which is the date immediately preceding
the Reduction Effective Date (defined in II.B. below) and Tenant shall fully
comply with all obligations under the Lease respecting the Reduction Space up to
the Reduction Effective Date, including those provisions relating to the
condition of the Reduction Space and removal of Tenant’s Property therefrom.

 

 

 

 

 

B.

Effective as of September 1, 2001 (the “Reduction Effective Date”), the Premises
is decreased from 7,694 rentable square feet on the 2nd and 8th floors to 6,882

As of the Reduction Effective Date, the Reduction Space shall be deemed
surrendered by Tenant to Landlord, the Lease shall be deemed terminated with
respect to the Reduction Space, and the “Premises”, as defined in the Lease,
shall be deemed to mean the Current Premises, less the Reduction Space.

 

 

 

 

 

C.

If Tenant shall holdover in the Reduction Space beyond the day immediately
preceding the Reduction Effective Date, Tenant shall be liable for Base Monthly
Rental, Additional Rent and other charges respecting the Reduction Space equal
to twice the amount in effect under the Lease prorated on a per diem basis and
on a per square foot basis for the Reduction Space. Such holdover amount shall
not be in limitation of Tenant’s liability for consequential or other damages
arising from Tenant’s holding over nor shall it be deemed permission for Tenant
to holdover in the Reduction Space.

liable for all year-end adjustments with respect to Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of
the Tax Excess and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Expense Excess (as defined in
the Fourth Amendment) applicable to the Reduction Space for that portion of the

SIXTH AMENDMENT

          THIS SIXTH AMENDMENT (the “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of
the 13th day of February, 2003, by and between EOP-PERIMETER CENTER, L.L.C., a
Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and CRESCENT BANK AND TRUST
COMPANY, a Georgia corporation (“Tenant”).

RECITALS

A.

Landlord (as successor by merger to Beacon Properties, L.P., the successor in
interest to Perimeter Center/South Terraces Associates) and Tenant are parties
to that certain lease dated February 4, 1993, which lease has been previously
amended by instruments dated September 20, 1993 (the “First Amendment”), June
13, 1996 (the “Second Amendment”), December 16, 1997 (the “Third Amendment”),
July 27, 1999 (the “Fourth Amendment”) and April 11, 2001 (the “Fifth
Amendment”) (collectively, the “Lease”). Pursuant to the Lease, Landlord has
leased to Tenant space currently containing approximately 6,882 rentable square
feet (the “Original Premises”) described as Suite No. 285 on the 2nd floor of
the building commonly known as South Terraces located at 115 Perimeter Center
Place, Atlanta, Georgia (the “Building”).

 

 

B.

Tenant has requested that additional space containing approximately 994 rentable
square feet described as Suite No. 1149 on the 11th floor of the Building shown
on Exhibit A hereto (the “Temporary Space”) be added to the Original Premises on
a temporary basis and that the Lease be appropriately amended and Landlord is
willing to do the same on the following terms and conditions.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant
agree as follows:

I.

Expansion and Effective Date.

 

 

 

A.

For the period commencing on February 13, 2003 (the “Temporary Space Effective
Date”) and ending on the Temporary Space Termination Date (as defined below),
the Premises, as defined in the Lease, is temporarily increased from 6,882
rentable square feet on the 2nd floor to 7,876 rentable square feet on the 2nd
and 11th floors by the addition of the Temporary Space, and during the Temporary
Space Term (as defined below), the Original Premises and the Temporary Space,
collectively, shall be deemed the Premises, as defined in the Lease.

 

 

 

 

B.

The Term for the Temporary Space (the “Temporary Space Term”) shall commence on
the Temporary Space Effective Date and end on August 9, 2003, unless sooner
terminated pursuant to the terms of the Lease (the “Temporary Space Termination
Date”). The Temporary Space is subject to all the terms and conditions of the
Lease except as expressly modified herein and except that Tenant shall not be
entitled to receive any allowances, abatement or other financial concession
granted with respect to the Original Premises unless such concessions are
expressly provided for herein with respect to the Temporary Space.

 

 

 

II.

Base Monthly Rental. In addition to Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Monthly
Rental for the Original Premises, during the Temporary Space Term, Tenant shall
pay Landlord the sum of $994.00 per month as Base Monthly Rental for the
Temporary Space with each such installment payable on or before the first day of
each month during the period beginning on the Temporary Space Effective Date and
ending on the Temporary Space Termination Date, prorated for any partial month
within the Temporary Space Term.

 

 

 

All such Base Monthly Rental shall be payable by Tenant in accordance with the
terms of the Lease.

 

 

III.

Tenant’s Pro Rata Share. Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Tenant’s Pro Rata
Share of Expenses and Taxes with respect to the Temporary Space, it being
understood that such sum is included in the Base Monthly Rental payable with
respect to the Temporary Space; provided, however, the foregoing shall not
affect Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Expenses and Taxes
with respect to the Original Premises as provided in the Lease.

1

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

IV.

Improvements to Temporary Space.

 

 

 

A.

Condition of Temporary Space.  Tenant has inspected the Temporary Space and
agrees to accept the same “as is” without any agreements, representations,
understandings or obligations on the part of Landlord to perform any
alterations, repairs or improvements. Tenant shall vacate the Temporary Space on
or prior to the Temporary Space Termination Date and deliver up the Temporary
Space to Landlord in as good condition as the Temporary Space was delivered to
Tenant, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

 

 

 

 

B.

Responsibility for Improvements to Temporary Space.  Any construction,
alterations or improvements to the Temporary Space shall be performed by Tenant
at its sole cost and expense using contractors selected by Tenant and approved
by Landlord and shall be governed in all respects by the provisions of Section
13 of the Lease. In any and all events, the Temporary Space Effective Date shall
not be postponed or delayed if the initial improvements to the Temporary Space
are incomplete on the Temporary Space Effective Date for any reason whatsoever.
Any delay in the completion of initial improvements to the Temporary Space shall
not subject Landlord to any liability for any loss or damage resulting
therefrom.

 

 

 

V.

Early Access to Temporary Space.  During any period that Tenant shall be
permitted to enter the Temporary Space prior to the Temporary Space Effective
Date (e.g., to perform alterations or improvements, if any), Tenant shall comply
with all terms and provisions of the Lease, except those provisions requiring
payment of Base Monthly Rental as to the Temporary Space. If Tenant takes
possession of the Temporary Space prior to the Temporary Space Effective Date
for any reason whatsoever (other than the performance of work in the Temporary
Space with Landlord’s prior approval), such possession shall be subject to all
the terms and conditions of the Lease and this Amendment, and Tenant shall pay
Base Monthly Rental as applicable to the Temporary Space to Landlord on a per
diem basis for each day of occupancy prior to the Temporary Space Effective
Date.

 

 

VI.

Mutual Termination Option.  At any time during the Temporary Space Term, as same
may be extended by written agreement between the parties, Landlord and Tenant
each shall have the right to terminate the Lease, with respect to the Temporary
Space only (“Temporary Space Termination Option”), for any reason by providing
at least 30 days prior written notice to the other party, which notice shall be
deemed irrevocable regardless of anything to the contrary contained in such
notice. Upon delivery of such notice, the Lease shall be deemed terminated with
respect to the Temporary Space as of the date of termination (“Accelerated
Temporary Space Termination Date”) specified in such notice and Tenant shall
vacate the Temporary Space on or prior to the Accelerated Temporary Space
Termination Date and deliver up the Temporary Space to Landlord in as good
condition as the Temporary Space was delivered to Tenant, ordinary wear and tear
excepted. If either party exercises the Temporary Space Termination Option as
provided for herein, Tenant shall remain liable for all obligations relating to
the Temporary Space up to and including the Accelerated Temporary Space
Termination Date, including, without limitation, the payment of all rent and
other sums due under the Lease with respect to the Temporary Space up to and
including the Accelerated Temporary Space Termination Date even though billings
for such may occur subsequent to the Accelerated Temporary Space Termination
Date. In no event shall the termination of the Lease with respect to the
Temporary Space as provided herein affect any of the rights or obligations of
the parties under the Lease with respect to the Original Premises or be deemed a
termination of the Lease with respect to any portion of the Original Premises.

 

 

VII.

No Extension or Expansion Options.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree
that any option or other rights contained in the Lease which entitle Tenant to
extend the term of the Lease or expand the Premises shall apply only to the
Original Premises and shall not be applicable to the Temporary Space in any
manner.

 

 

VIII.

Holdover.  If Tenant should holdover in the Temporary Space after expiration or
earlier termination of the Temporary Space Term, any remedies available to
Landlord as a consequence of such holdover contained in Section 12 of the Lease
or otherwise shall be applicable, but only with respect to the Temporary Space
and shall not be deemed applicable to the Original Premises unless and until
Tenant holds over in the Original Premises after expiration or earlier
termination of the Extended Term.

SEVENTH AMENDMENT

          THIS SEVENTH AMENDMENT (the “Amendment”) is made and entered into as
of the 18th day of March, 2003, by and between EOP-PERIMETER CENTER, L.L.C., a
Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and CRESCENT BANK AND TRUST
COMPANY, a Georgia corporation (“Tenant”).

RECITALS

A.

Landlord (as successor by merger to Beacon Properties, L.P., the successor in
interest to Perimeter Center/South Terraces Associates) and Tenant are parties
to that certain lease dated February 4, 1993, which lease has been previously
amended by instruments dated September 20, 1993 (the “First Amendment”), June
13, 1996 (the “Second Amendment”), December 16, 1997 (the “Third Amendment”),
July 27, 1999 (the “Fourth Amendment”), April 11, 2001 (the “Fifth Amendment”)
and February 13, 2003 (the “Sixth Amendment”) (collectively, the “Lease”).
Pursuant to the Lease, Landlord has leased to Tenant space currently containing
approximately 7,876 rentable square feet (the “Original Premises”) described as
(i) Suite No. 285 on the 2nd floor (6,882 rentable square feet) and (ii) Suite
No. 1149 on the 11th floor (994 rentable square feet) (the “Temporary Space”) of
the building commonly known as South Terraces located at 115 Perimeter Center
Place, Atlanta, Georgia (the “Building”).

 

 

B.

Tenant has requested that additional space containing approximately 1,262
rentable square feet on the 2nd floor of the Building shown on Exhibit A hereto
(the “Expansion Space”) be added to the Original Premises and that the Lease be
appropriately amended and Landlord is willing to do the same on the following
terms and conditions.

           NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant
agree as follows:

I.

Expansion and Effective Date. Effective as of the Expansion Effective Date
(defined below), the Premises, as defined in the Lease, is increased from 7,876
rentable square feet on the 2nd and 11th floors (of which 994 rentable square
feet is Temporary Space) to 9,138 rentable square feet on the 2nd and 11th
floors (of which 994 rentable square feet is Temporary Space) by the addition of
the Expansion Space, and from and after the Expansion Effective Date, the
Original Premises and the Expansion Space, collectively, shall be deemed the
Premises, as defined in the Lease. The Term for the Expansion Space shall
commence on the Expansion Effective Date and end on the Extended Termination
Date, which is August 31, 2006. The Expansion Space is subject to all the terms
and conditions of the Lease except as expressly modified herein and except that
Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any allowances, abatements or other
financial concessions granted with respect to the Original Premises unless such
concessions are expressly provided for herein with respect to the Expansion
Space.

 

 

 

A.

The Expansion Effective Date shall be the later to occur of (i) March 1, 2003
(“Target Expansion Effective Date”), and (ii) the date upon which the Landlord
Work (as defined in the Work Letter attached as Exhibit B hereto) in the
Expansion Space has been substantially completed; provided, however, that if
Landlord shall be delayed in substantially completing the Landlord Work in the
Expansion Space as a result of the occurrence of a Tenant Delay (defined below),
then, for purposes of determining the Expansion Effective Date, the date of
substantial completion shall be deemed to be the day that said Landlord Work
would have been substantially completed absent any such Tenant Delay(s). A
“Tenant Delay” means any act or omission of Tenant or its agents, employees,
vendors or contractors that actually delays substantial completion of the
Landlord Work, including, without limitation, the following:

 

 

 

 

 

1.

Tenant’s failure to furnish information or approvals within any time period
specified in the Lease or this Amendment, including the failure to prepare or
approve preliminary or final plans by any applicable due date;

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.

Tenant’s selection of equipment or materials that have long lead times after
first being informed by Landlord that the selection may result in a delay;

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

 
 

3.

Changes requested or made by Tenant to previously approved plans and
specifications;

 
 

 

 

 
 

4.

The performance of work in the Expansion Space by Tenant or Tenant’s
contractor(s) during the performance of the Landlord Work; or

 
 

 

 

 
 

5.

If the performance of any portion of the Landlord Work depends on the prior or
simultaneous performance of work by Tenant, a delay by Tenant or Tenant’s
contractor(s) in the completion of such work.

 
 

 

 

 
 

The Expansion Space shall be deemed to be substantially completed on the date
that Landlord reasonably determines that all Landlord Work has been performed
(or would have been performed absent any Tenant Delays), other than any details
of construction, mechanical adjustment or any other matter, the noncompletion of
which does not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Expansion Space.
The adjustment of the Expansion Effective Date and, accordingly, the
postponement of Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent on the Expansion Space shall be
Tenant’s sole remedy and shall constitute full settlement of all claims that
Tenant might otherwise have against Landlord by reason of the Expansion Space
not being ready for occupancy by Tenant on the Target Expansion Effective Date.

 
 

 

 
B.

In addition to the postponement, if any, of the Expansion Effective Date as a
result of the applicability of Paragraph I.A. of this Amendment, the Expansion
Effective Date shall be delayed to the extent that Landlord fails to deliver
possession of the Expansion Space for any other reason (other than Tenant Delays
by Tenant), including but not limited to, holding over by prior occupants. Any
such delay in the Expansion Effective Date shall not subject Landlord to any
liability for any loss or damage resulting therefrom. If the Expansion Effective
Date is delayed, the Termination Date under the Lease shall not be similarly
extended.

 
 

 

II.
Base Monthly Rental. In addition to Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Monthly
Rental for the Original Premises, Tenant shall pay Landlord Base Monthly Rental
for the Expansion Space as follows:

assumption that the Expansion Effective Date is the Target Expansion Effective
Date. If the Expansion Effective Date is other than the Target Expansion
Effective Date, the schedule set forth above with respect to the payment of any
installment(s) of Base Monthly Rental for the Expansion Space shall be
appropriately adjusted on a per diem basis to reflect the actual Expansion

V.

Expenses and Taxes. For the period commencing with the Expansion Effective Date

terms of the Lease, provided, however, during such period, the Base Year for the
computation of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Expenses and Taxes applicable to the
Expansion Space is 2003.

 

 

VI.

Improvements to Expansion Space.

 

 

 

A.

Condition of Expansion Space. Tenant has inspected the Expansion Space and
agrees to accept the same “as is” without any agreements, representations,
understandings or obligations on the part of Landlord to perform any
alterations, repairs or improvements, except as may be expressly provided
otherwise in this Amendment.

 

 

 

 

 

B.

Responsibility for Improvements to Expansion Space. Landlord shall perform
improvements to the Expansion Space in accordance with the Work Letter attached
hereto as Exhibit B.

 

 

 

 

VII.

Early Access to Expansion Space. During any period that Tenant shall be
permitted to enter the Expansion Space prior to the Expansion Effective Date
(e.g., to perform alterations or improvements, if any), Tenant shall comply with
all terms and provisions of the Lease, except those provisions requiring payment
of Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent as to the Expansion Space. If Tenant
takes possession of the Expansion Space prior to the Expansion Effective Date
for any reason whatsoever (other than the performance of work in the Expansion
Space with Landlord’s prior approval), such possession shall be subject to all
the terms and conditions of the Lease and this Amendment, and Tenant shall pay
Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent as applicable to the Expansion Space to
Landlord on a per diem basis for each day of occupancy prior to the Expansion
Effective Date.

 

 

VIII.

Other Pertinent Provisions. Landlord and Tenant agree that, effective as of the
date of this Amendment (unless different effective date(s) is/are specifically
referenced in this Section), the Lease shall be amended in the following
additional respects:

 

 

 

A.

Parking. With respect to the Expansion Space, Special Stipulation 5, “Parking”,
of the Lease, as amended, shall be amended to reflect that 4 additional
unreserved parking spaces shall be made available to Tenant for parking by
Tenant and its employees, free of charge, commencing on the Expansion Effective
Date and thereafter through the Extended Termination Date on a first come, first
serve basis. The use of such parking spaces shall be subject to the terms of

A.

This Amendment and the following exhibits and attachments, which are hereby
incorporated into and made a part of this Amendment, set forth the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein:
Exhibit A (Outline and Location of Expansion Space). There have been no
additional oral or written representations or agreements.  Under no

premises of approximately 1,262 rentable square feet (the “Prior Tenant Space”)
