        Date, "Tenant's Proportionate Share" (as such defined term is defined in
        the
        Existing Lease) shall be increased to be 1.99%. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
        for and with respect to all periods of time during the Term prior to the
        Additional Premises Occupancy Date, Tenant's Proportionate Share shall continue
        to have the meaning and value assigned to such defined term in the Existing
        Lease.

    

    
      


    

    
      (b)           Subject
        to the foregoing terms and conditions of Section 6 of this Amendment, all
        of the
        terms and conditions of the Existing Lease governing the payment of Additional
        Rent by Tenant to Landlord for the Existing Premises with respect to the
        Initial
        Term shall continue to be applicable to (i) the leasing of the Additional
        Premises by Landlord to Tenant with respect to that portion of the Additional
        Premises Occupancy Period occurring prior to the Extended Term and (ii) the
        leasing of the Expanded Premises by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the
        Extended Term.

                Tenant
                  Improvements.

              


      

    

    
      


    

    
      (a)           For
        purposes of this Amendment, "Tenant Improvements" means, collectively, the
        alterations and improvements to the Expanded Premises to be constructed and/or
        installed by Landlord in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section
        7
        of this Amendment, as more particularly described in Exhibit B attached
        to and hereby made a part of this Amendment.

    

    
      


    

    
      (b)           Landlord
        shall use commercially reasonable efforts to Substantially Complete (herein
        defined) the Tenant Improvements not later than October 31, 2006. For purposes
        of this Amendment, the Tenant Improvements shall be deemed to be "Substantially
        Complete" as of the date on which Landlord shall certify in writing to Tenant
        that: (i) The Tenant Improvements have been substantially completed in all
        material respects and in substantial accordance with the approved plans and
        specifications therefor (if any); and (ii) To the extent deemed necessary
        by
        Landlord, in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, a temporary or permanent
        certificate of occupancy shall have been issued by the governmental authority
        having jurisdiction with respect to the Tenant Improvements or the governmental
        authority having jurisdiction with respect to the Tenant Improvements shall
        have
        otherwise evidenced its approval of the Tenant Improvements. In the event
        that
        Landlord is unable for any reason whatsoever to Substantially Complete the
        Tenant Improvements on or before October 31, 2006, then and in such event,
        Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever (including, without limitation,
        for
        any damages that Tenant may suffer) to Tenant in connection therewith or
        as a
        result thereof and none of the obligations of Tenant to Landlord set forth
        in
        this Amendment shall be affected thereby; provided, however, that Landlord
        shall
        use commercially reasonable efforts to Substantially Complete the Tenant
        Improvements as soon as reasonably possible thereafter. Landlord shall use
        commercially reasonable efforts to complete any portions or aspects of the
        Tenant Improvements which shall be incomplete as of the date of Substantial
        Completion of the Tenant Improvements as soon as possible thereafter.
        Notwithstanding the foregoing terms and conditions of this paragraph, in
        the
        event that the Tenant Improvements shall not be Substantially Complete on
        or
        before October 31, 2006 as a result of any default or delay on the part of
        Tenant with respect to the obligations of Tenant set forth in the Lease,
        then
        and in such event, (A) for all intents and purposes of the Lease the Tenant
        Improvements shall be deemed to have been Substantially Complete as of the
        date
        Landlord shall determine, in the sole but reasonable opinion of Landlord,
        that
        Landlord would have Substantially Completed the Tenant Improvements but for
        such
        default or delay on the part of Tenant, and (B) not later than ten (10) days
        after written demand shall be made therefor by Landlord of Tenant, Tenant
        shall
        reimburse Landlord for all additional costs and/or expenses (if any) that
        Landlord shall incur as a result thereof in connection with the construction
        and/or installation of the Tenant Improvements.

      (c)           The
        Tenant Improvements shall be constructed and/or installed by Landlord using
        contractors (and subcontractors, if deemed necessary by Landlord) selected
        by
        Landlord, at Landlord's discretion, and having experience in connection with
        the
        construction and/or installation of alterations and improvements similar
        in
        nature to the Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord's
        option, to employ a construction management supervisor to supervise the
        construction and/or installation of the Tenant Improvements. Any such
        construction management supervisor employed by Landlord may be an affiliate
        of
        Landlord. The costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with
        the
        employment by Landlord of any construction management supervisor shall be
        a Cost
        of Tenant Improvements (herein defined) and, at the option of Landlord, may
        be
        deducted by Landlord from the amount of the Tenant Improvements Allowance
        (herein defined); provided, however, Landlord shall not include as a part
        of
        Cost of Tenant Improvements that portion, if any, of any such construction
        management supervision fees and expenses incurred by Landlord as shall exceed
        that amount equal to the product of (i) 0.03 and (ii) all costs and expenses
        includable as part of the Cost of Tenant Improvements other than such
        construction management supervision fees and expenses. The Tenant Improvements
        shall be completed by Landlord in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance
        with all applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances, codes, rules,
        regulations and orders, and, if and as applicable, in accordance with any
        plans
        and specifications therefor that have been approved by Landlord and
        Tenant.

    

    
      


    

    
      (d)           For
        purposes of this Amendment, "Cost of Tenant Improvements" means the following
        costs and expenses, as and if incurred by Landlord in connection with the
        construction and/or installation of the Tenant Improvements: (i) all hard
        or
        direct costs; (ii) all costs of architectural, engineering and planning
        services; (iii) all costs of building permits and other governmental approvals;
        (iv) all costs of labor, machinery and equipment; (v) all costs of any
        construction management services; (vi) all costs of demolition; and (vii)
        all
        other soft or indirect costs. For purposes of this Amendment. "Tenant
        Improvements Allowance" means the sum of $98,186.00. Subject to the succeeding
        terms and conditions of Section 7(d) of this Amendment, all of the costs
        and
        expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the construction and/or
        installation of the Tenant Improvements shall be paid by Landlord; provided,
        however, and not later than ten (10) days after written demand shall be made
        therefor by Landlord of Tenant, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for that
        portion
        of the actual, final Cost of Tenant Improvements as shall exceed the amount
        of
        the Tenant Improvements Allowance. Any request for reimbursement made by
        Landlord of Tenant pursuant to the preceding terms and conditions of this
        paragraph shall be in writing and shall be accompanied by copies of invoices
        or
        other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Tenant showing Landlord to have

        incurred the costs and expenses in question. All determinations regarding
        the
        actual, final Cost of Tenant Improvements shall be made by Landlord, in
        Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, and shall be binding upon Landlord
        and
        Tenant absent manifest error.

    

    
      


    

    
      (e)           Except
        to the extent, if any, set forth elsewhere in this Amendment, Tenant hereby
        acknowledges and agrees that: (i) Landlord has made no representations or
        warranties whatsoever to Tenant with respect to the Additional Premises,
        the
        condition of the Additional Premises, or the suitability for use by Tenant
        of
        the Additional Premises in connection with the business operations of Tenant;
        and (ii) Landlord has no obligation to Tenant whatsoever, pursuant to this
        Amendment or otherwise, with respect to the obtaining or maintaining during
        the
        Additional Premises Occupancy Period of any governmental approvals, consents,
        licenses, permits or certificates (collectively, the "Governmental
        Authorizations"), that Tenant shall deem necessary or desirable in connection
        with the use and occupancy of the Additional Premises by Tenant pursuant
        to this
        Amendment and that any and all such Governmental Authorizations that Tenant
        shall deem necessary or desirable in such regard are to be obtained by Tenant
        at
        Tenant's sole cost and expense. Furthermore, subject to the completion of
        the
        Tenant Improvements, Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that (A) the
        Additional Premises are being leased by Landlord to Tenant in their "as is,
        where is and with all defects" condition as of the Additional Premises Occupancy
        Date, and (B) Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever, pursuant to this
        Amendment or otherwise, to make any alterations or improvements to or with
        respect to the Additional Premises. In furtherance of the foregoing, Tenant
        hereby acknowledges that Tenant has on or before the Date of Amendment been
        afforded a full and complete opportunity to inspect the Additional Premises
        in
        all respects and that, subject to the completion of the Tenant Improvements,
        Tenant is satisfied in all respects with the condition of the Additional
        Premises and has observed no dangerous or defective conditions at the Additional
        Premises.

      (f)           For
        purposes of this Amendment, "Tenant Improvements Construction Period" means
        that
        period of time
        commencing on the Date of Amendment and ending on the date as of which Landlord
        shall deem the Tenant Improvements to be complete in all respects. Tenant
        hereby
        acknowledges that Landlord and the agents, employees and contractors of Landlord
        may need to enter upon the Existing Premises during the Tenant Improvements
        Construction Period in connection with the construction and or installation
        of
        the Tenant Improvements. Accordingly, Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord
        and the
        agents, employees and contractors of Landlord shall have the right to enter
        upon
        the Existing Premises at any and all times during the Tenant Improvements
        Construction Period (including, without limitation, on weekends and hours
        other
        than the normal business hours of Tenant) for the purpose of constructing
        and/or
        installing the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall cooperate, fully and in
        all
        reasonable respects, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, with Landlord and
        the
        agents, employees and contractors of Landlord so as to facilitate the timely
        and
        proper completion by Landlord of the Tenant Improvements in accordance with
        the
        terms and conditions of this Amendment. In furtherance of the foregoing,
        Tenant
        also agrees that upon request made at any time by Landlord or any of the
        agents,
        employees or contractors of Landlord in connection with the construction
        and/or
        installation of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall move, remove or relocate,
        or cause to be moved, removed or relocated, to, from or within the Existing
        Premises, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, any and all machinery, equipment,
        furniture, furnishings, inventory or personal property of Tenant then in,
        on or
        about the Existing Premises that Landlord or any of the agents, employees
        or
        contractors of Landlord may request be so moved, removed or relocated in
        order
        to facilitate the timely and proper completion of the Tenant
        Improvements.

      Except
        as
        and only to the extent explicitly modified by the terms and provisions of

        Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Existing Lease are ratified
        and confirmed in all respects, remain in full force and effect, and shall
        be
        applicable to the Extended Term. In the event that any of the terms, conditions

        or provisions of the Existing Lease, then and in any such event, the terms,
        conditions and provisions of this Amendment shall be controlling. This Amendment
        contains the entire understanding of the parties to this Amendment with respect
        to the subject matters covered in this Amendment and no prior agreements
        or
        understandings between the parties to this Amendment, or in any way relating
        to
        the subject matter covered in this Amendment, shall be effective after the
        execution of this Amendment, whether or not such agreements or understandings
        are similar, broader in scope, more narrow in scope or in any other way
        different from the terms and conditions of this Amendment. This Amendment
        may be
        modified only by a written instrument signed by the parties to this Amendment.
        The furnishing to Tenant of the form of this Amendment shall not
        constitute an offer by Landlord and this Amendment shall become effective
        in
        accordance with its terms upon and only upon its execution by and delivery
        by
        the parties to this Amendment. The recitals set forth at the beginning of
        this
        Amendment shall be deemed to be a part of this Amendment. The headings set

        significance or meaning whatsoever. This Amendment and the terms and provisions
        hereof shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
        the
        State of Georgia. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of
        which
        shall be deemed to be an original of this Amendment, but all of which, together,
        shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Amendment shall be binding
        upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
        successors and permitted assigns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
        set
        forth elsewhere in this Amendment, this Amendment shall be deemed to be
        effective as of the Date of Amendment even or though either or both of the
        parties to this Amendment may execute and/or deliver this Amendment on a
        later
        or different date.
