WITNESSETH:




     WHEREAS, Landlord and Lanier Healthcare, L.L.C. entered into that certain Lease Agreement
dated September 6, 2002 (the “Lease”), for premises consisting of approximately 38,113 square feet

     WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant entered into that First Amendment to Lease Agreement dated March

     WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant



 









 




desire to enter into this Second Amendment for the purpose of increasing the size of the
Premises and to clarify certain other matters.




     NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises hereto, the keeping and performance of
the covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, and for Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:



     1. Recitals/Defined Terms. The above recitals are true and correct and are hereby
incorporated into this Second Amendment as if set forth herein at length. All terms used herein and
denoted by their initial capitalization shall have the meanings set forth in the Lease unless set
forth herein to the contrary.



     2. Increase in Size of the Premises. Effective August 1, 2009 and for the remaining
term of the Lease, the Premises shall increase by 1,997 RSF (the “Expansion Premises”) up to a
total of 21,468 RSF as shown on the floor plan attached as Exhibit A. Effective August 1, 2009
Tenant’s Percentage Share for the Premises shall be 37.01%. Notwithstanding Paragraph 3 of the
First Amendment, Landlord will not demise the 3,994 RSF of vacated space which was a portion of the
space vacated in the First Amendment (the “Vacated Space”), as shown on Exhibit A. Landlord and
Tenant agree that Tenant shall lease the Expansion Premises in its “as is” condition as of August
1, 2009, as shown on Exhibit A. Tenant agrees to use only the Expansion Premises, being 1,997 RSF
of the undemised Vacated Space. Landlord may offer the remaining 1,997 RSF of Vacated Space for
lease. If Landlord receives a bonafide offer for such space Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing
of such offer and Tenant shall have 10 business days after receipt of the notice to add the 1,997
RSF to its current Lease and to extend the term of the Lease for the entire Premises so that five
full years remain on the term of the Lease from the date of adding the 1,997 RSF to the Lease. Such
additional 1,997 RSF shall be leased at the then existing rates with rates beyond 7/31/2014 being
escalated at 3% per annum. All other terms and conditions of the Lease shall apply to the
additional 1,997 RSF. If Tenant declines to add the 1,997 RSF to the Lease under such terms,
Landlord may lease the space and construct a demising wall at its sole cost and expense. If
Landlord constructs such demising wall, Landlord shall use its best efforts to not unreasonably
interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business operations. However, in the event Landlord fails to
enter into a lease with the subject prospective tenant, then Tenant shall have an ongoing right of
first refusal (on the terms set forth above) with respect to any subsequent prospective tenant for
the remaining 1,997 RSF of Vacated Space.



     3. Base Rental. Effective August 1, 2009 the Base Rental for the 21,468 RSF shall be
