above, shall be done at such times and in such manner as Landlord may from time
to time designate. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice five (5) days prior

Building, or any part thereof, nor shall Tenant sell, or permit to be kept, used
or sold, in or about the Leased Premises, any article which may be prohibited by
the Standard form of fire insurance policies. Tenant


                                       2
<PAGE>

shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with any and all requirement
pertaining to the Leased Premises, of any insurance organization or company,
necessary for the maintenance of reasonable fire and public liability insurance,
covering the Leased Premises, Building and appurtenances. Tenant agrees to pay

be carried and loss of rent caused by fire and the perils normally included in
extended coverage above the rates presently being paid by the Landlord as of the
date hereof.

         10.02 Tenant shall maintain in full force and effect on all of its
fixtures and equipment in the Leased Premises a policy or policies of fire and
extended coverage insurance with standard coverage endorsement to the extent of
at least eighty percent (80%) of their insurable value. During the term of this
Lease the proceeds from any such policy or policies of insurance shall be used

documents necessary or proper in connection with the settlement of any claim or
loss by Tenant. Landlord will not carry insurance on Tenant's possessions.
Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a certificate of such policy within thirty
(30) days of the commencement of this Lease, and whenever required, shall
satisfy Landlord that such policy is in full force and effect.

                               LIABILITY INSURANCE

         11.01 Tenant, at its own expense, shall provide and keep in force with
companies acceptable to Landlord public liability insurance for the benefit of
Landlord and Tenant jointly against liability for bodily injury and property

respect to injuries to or death of more than one person in any one occurrence,
in the amount of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in respect to
injuries to or death of any one person, and in the amount of not less than Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) per occurrence in respect to damage to property,
such limits to be for any greater amounts as may be reasonably indicated by
circumstances from time to time existing. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a
certificate of such policy (which certificate shall contain the insurer's waiver
of subrogation rights exercisable against the Landlord) within thirty (30) days
of the commencement date of this Lease and whenever required shall satisfy
Landlord that such policy is in full force and effect. Such policy shall name
Landlord as an additional insured and shall be primary and non-contributing with
any insurance carried by Landlord. The policy shall further provide that it
shall not be cancelled or altered without twenty (20) days prior written notice
to Landlord,

                            INDEMNIFICATION BY TENANT

         12.01 Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord against and
from any and all claims arising from Tenant's use of the Leased Premises (other
than those arising from negligence of Landlord or its agent employees), or the
conduct of its business or from any activity, work, or thing doing, permitted or
suffered by the Tenant in or about the Leased Premises, and shall further
indemnify and hold harmless Landlord against and from any and all claims arising
from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant's part
to be performed under the terms of this Lease, or arising from any act, neglect,
fault or omission of the Tenant, or of its agents or employees, and from and
against all costs, attorney's fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in or
about such claim or any action or proceeding brought relative thereto and in
case any action or proceeding be brought against Landlord by reason of any such
claim, Tenant upon notice from Landlord shall defend the same at Tenant's
expense by counsel, chosen by Tenant and who is reasonably acceptable to
Landlord. Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to Landlord, hereby
assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in or about the
Leased Premises from any cause whatsoever except that which is caused by the
failure of Landlord to observe any of the terms and conditions of this Lease
where such failure has persisted for an unreasonable period of time after
written notice of such failure, and Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect
thereof against Landlord. The obligations of Tenant under this section arising
by reason of any occurrence taking place during the term of this Lease shall
survive any termination of this Lease.

                                WAIVER OF CLAIMS

         13.01 Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to be rendered to
Landlord, hereby waives all claims against Landlord for damages to goods, wares
and merchandise


                                       3

<PAGE>

in, upon or about the Leased Premises and for injury to Tenant, its agents,
employees, invitees, or third persons in or about the Leased Premises from any
cause arising at any time, other than the negligence of Landlord, its agents and
employees.

                                    REPAIRS

         14.01 Tenant shall, at its sole cost, keep and maintain the Leased
Premises and appurtenances and every part thereof (excepting exterior walls and
roofs which Landlord agrees to repair) including by way of illustration and not
by way of limitation all windows and skylights, doors, any store front and the
interior of the Leased Premises, including all plumbing, heating, air
conditioning, sewer, electrical systems and all fixtures and all other similar
equipment serving the Leased Premises in good and sanitary order, condition, and
repair. Tenant shall, at its sole cost, keep and maintain all utilities,
fixtures and mechanical equipment used by Tenant in good order, condition, and
repair. All windows shall be washed and cleaned as often as necessary to keep
them clean and free from smudges and stains. In the event Tenant fails to
maintain the Leased Premises as required herein or fails to commence repairs
(requested by Landlord in writing) within thirty (30) days after such request,
or fails diligently to proceed thereafter to complete such repairs, Landlord
shall have the right in order to preserve the premises or portion thereof,
and/or the appearance thereof, to make such repairs or have a contractor make
such repairs and charge Tenant for the cost thereof as additional rent, together
with interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum from the date of
making such payments.

         14.02 Landlord agrees to keep in good repair the roof, foundations, and
exterior walls of the premises except repairs rendered necessary by the
negligence of Tenant, its agents, employees or invitees. Landlord gives to
Tenant exclusive control of premises and shall be under no obligation to inspect
said premises. Tenant shall promptly report in writing to Landlord any defective
condition known to it which Landlord is required to repair, and Landlord shall
move with reasonable diligence to repair such item. Failure to report such
defects shall make Tenant responsible to Landlord for any liability incurred by
Landlord by reason of such defects.

                               SIGNS, LANDSCAPING

         15.01 Landlord shall have the right to control landscaping and approve
the placing of signs and the size and quality of the same. Tenant shall make no
alterations or additions to the Leased Premises or landscaping and shall place
no exterior signs on the Leased Premises without the prior written consent of
Landlord. Any signs not in conformity with the Lease may be immediately removed
by Landlord.


                                ENTRY BY LANDLORD

         16.01 Tenant shall permit Landlord and Landlord's agents to enter the
Leased Premises at all reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting the same
or for the purpose of maintaining the Building, or for the purpose of making
repairs, alterations, or additions to any portion of the Building, including the
erection and maintenance of such scaffolding, canopies, fences and props as may
be required, or for the purpose of posting notices of non-responsibility for
alterations, additions, or repairs, or for the purpose of showing the premises
to prospective tenants, or placing upon the Building any usual or ordinary "for
sale" signs, without any rebate of rent and without any liability to Tenant for
any loss of occupation or quiet enjoyment of the Leased Premises thereby
occasioned; and shall permit Landlord at any time within thirty (30) days prior
to the expiration of this Lease, to place upon the Leased Premises any usual or
ordinary "to let" or "to lease" signs. For each of the aforesaid purposes,
Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of
the exterior doors about the Leased Premises.

                          TAXES AND INSURANCE INCREASE

         17.01 Tenant shall pay before delinquency any and all taxes,
assessments, license fees, and public charges levied, assessed, or imposed and
which become payable during the Lease upon Tenant's fixtures, furniture,
appliances and personal property installed or located in the Leased Premises.

                                       4

<PAGE>

         17.02 Tenant shall pay upon demand, as additional rental during the
term of this lease and any extension or renewal thereof, the amount by which all
taxes (including, but not limited to, ad valorem taxes, special assessments and
governmental charges) on the Leased Premises for each tax year exceeds all taxes
on the premises for 2005. In the event the premises are less than the entire
property assessed for such taxes for any such tax year, then the tax for any
such year applicable to the premises shall be determined by proration on the
basis that the total floor area of the Leased Premises bears to the total floor
area of the entire property assessed. If the final year of the lease term fails
to coincide with the tax year, then any excess for the tax year during which the
term ends shall be reduced by the pro rata part of such tax year beyond the
lease term.

         17.03 Tenant agrees to pay the amount for all taxes levied upon or
measured by the rent payable hereunder, whether as a so-called sales tax,
transaction privilege tax, excise tax, or otherwise (but no income taxes shall
be payable by Tenant). Such taxes shall be due and payable at the same time as
and in addition to each payment of rent.

         17.04 Commencing in the second year of the lease and during each
remaining year of the lease term or any extension or renewal thereof, in the
event that the insurance premiums payable by the Landlord for fire and extending
coverage on the property are increased, whether such increase is due to an
increase in the valuation of the building, or in the applicable rate of
insurance, then Tenant agrees to pay Landlord as additional rental, Tenant's pro
rata share of the increase in said insurance premiums over the base amount paid
in the first year of the lease. Tenant's pro rata share shall be based on the
square footage of the premises leased to Tenant (as specified in paragraph 1.01
hereof) compared to the total square footage of space in the entire building.
Tenant agrees to pay Landlord said increased amount within thirty (30) days
after receipt of a notice in writing from Landlord, of the increase in said
insurance premiums. If during the final year of the Lease, or any extension or
renewal thereof, the term does not coincide with the year upon which the
insurance rate is determined, the increase in premiums for the portion of that
year shall be prorated according to the number of months during which Tenant was
in possession of the Leased Premises.

         17.05 The provisions hereof shall survive the termination of the Lease
or any extension or renewal thereof as referred to in the preceding paragraphs
17.02 and 17.04.

                                   ABANDONMENT

         18.01 Tenant shall not vacate nor abandon Leased Premises at any time
during the term of this Lease; and if Tenant shall abandon, vacate or surrender
the Leased Premises, or be dispossessed by process of law, or otherwise, any
personal property belonging to Tenant and left on the Leased Premises shall, at
the option of the Landlord, be deemed abandoned.

                                   DESTRUCTION

         19.01 In the event of (a) a partial destruction of the Leased Premises
or the Building during the Lease term which requires repairs to either the
Leased Premises or the Building, or (b) the Leased Premises or the Building
being declared unsafe or unfit for occupancy by any authorized public authority
for any reason other than Tenant's act, use or occupation which declaration
requires repairs to either the Leased Premises or the Building, Landlord shall
forthwith make repairs, provided repairs can be made within sixty (60) days
under the laws and regulations of authorized public authorities, but partial
destruction (including any destruction necessary in order to make repairs
required by any declaration) shall in no way annul or void this Lease, except
that Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of rent while such
repairs are being made. The proportionate reduction is to be based upon the
extent to which the making of repairs shall interfere with the business carried
on by Tenant in the Leased Premises. In making repairs Landlord shall be
obligated to replace only such glazing as shall have been damaged by fire and
other damaged glazing shall be replaced by Tenant. If repairs cannot be made
within sixty (60) days, Landlord may, at its option, make same within a
reasonable time, this Lease continuing in full force and effect and the rent to
be proportionately abated, as in this paragraph provided. In the event that
Landlord does not so elect to make repairs which cannot be made within sixty
(60) days, or repairs cannot be made under current laws and regulations, this
Lease may be terminated at the option of either party. A total destruction
(including any destruction required by any authorized public authority) of
either the Leased

                                       5


<PAGE>

Premises or the Building shall terminate this Lease. In the event of any dispute
between Landlord and Tenant relative to the provisions of this paragraph, they
may each select an arbitrator, the two arbitrators so selected shall select a
third arbitrator and the three arbitrators so selected shall hear and determine
the controversy and their decision thereon shall be final and binding on both
Landlord and Tenant who shall bear the cost of such arbitration equally between
them. Landlord shall not be required to repair any property installed in the
Leased Premises by Tenant. Tenant waives any right under applicable laws
inconsistent with the terms of this paragraph and in the event of destruction
agrees to accept any offer by Landlord to provide tenant with comparable space
within the project in which the Premises are located on the same terms as this
Lease.

                            ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

         20.01 Landlord shall have the right to transfer and assign, in whole or
in part its rights and obligations in the Building and Property that are the
subject of this Lease. Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublet all or any
part of the Leased Premises without the prior written consent of the Landlord,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord agrees that Tenant may sublet
parts of the Leased Premises to companies in its incubator program without first
obtaining Landlord consent. In the event of any assignment or subletting, Tenant
shall nevertheless at all times, remain fully responsible and liable for the
payment of the rent and for compliance with all of its other obligations under
the terms, provisions and covenants of this Lease. Upon the occurrence of an
"event of default" as defined below, if all or any part of the Leased Premises
are then assigned or sublet, Landlord, in addition to any other remedies
provided by this Lease or provided by law, may at its option, collect directly
from the assignee or subtenant all rents becoming due to Tenant by reason of the
assignment or sublease, and Landlord shall have a security interest in all
properties on the Leased Premises to secure payment of such sums. Any collection
directly by Landlord from the assignee or subtenant shall not be construed to
constitute a novation or a release of Tenant from the further performance of its
obligations under this Lease.

                              INSOLVENCY OF TENANT

         21.01 Either (a) the appointment of a receiver to take possession of
all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or (b) a general assignment by
Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or (c) any action taken or suffered by
Tenant under any insolvency or bankruptcy act shall, if any such appointments,
assignments or action continues for a period of thirty (30) days, constitute a
breach of this Lease by Tenant, and Landlord may at its election without notice,
terminate this Lease and in that event be entitled to immediate possession of
the Leased Premises and damages as provided below.

                                BREACH BY TENANT

         22.01 In the event of a default, Landlord besides other rights or
remedies that it may have, shall have the right to either terminate this Lease
or from time to time, without terminating this Lease relet the Leased Premises
or any part thereof for the account and in the name of Tenant or otherwise, for
any such term or terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may
deem advisable with the right to make reasonable alterations and repairs to the
Leased Premises. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as soon as ascertained, the costs
and expenses incurred by Landlord in such reletting or in making such reasonable
alterations and repairs. Should such rentals received from time to time from
such reletting during any month be less than that agreed to be paid during that
month by Tenant hereunder, the Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord,
Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly.

         22.02 No such reletting of the Leased Premises by Landlord shall be
construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a notice of
such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed
by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such reletting without
termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease
for such previous breach provided it has not been cured. Should Landlord at any
time terminate this Lease for any breach, in addition to any other remedy it may
have, it may recover from Tenant all damages it may incur by reason of such
breach, including the cost of recovering the Leased Premises, and including (1)
all amounts that would have fallen due as rent between the time of termination
of this Lease and the Urns of judgment, or other award, less the avails of all
relettings and attornments,


                                       6

<PAGE>

plus interest on the balance at the rate of eight percent (8%) per year, and (2)
the worth at the time of the judgment or other award, of the amount by which the
unpaid rent for the balance of the term exceeds the amount of such rental loss
that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; (3) any other amount necessary
to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's
failure to perform his obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary
course of events would likely to result therefrom. "Worth" as used in this
provision, is computed by discounting the total at the discount rate of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta at the time of the judgment, or award, plus one
percent (1%).

                       ATTORNEYS' FEES/COLLECTION CHARGES

         23.01 Should Landlord be named as a defendant in any suit brought
against Tenant in connection with or arising out of Tenant's occupancy
hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord its cost and expenses incurred in such
suit, including reasonable attorneys' fees. If any rent or other sums of money
owed or owing under this Lease is collected by or through an attorney at law,
Tenant agrees to pay fifteen percent (15%) thereof as attorneys' fees.

                                  CONDEMNATION

         24.01 If, at any time during the term of this lease, title to the
entire Leased Premises should become vested in a public or quasi-public
authority by virtue of the exercise of expropriation, appropriation,
condemnation or other power in the nature of eminent domain, or by voluntary
transfer from the owner of the Leased Premises under threat of such a taking
then this Lease shall terminate as of the time of such vesting of title, after
which neither party shall be further obligated to the other except for
occurrence antedated such taking. The same results shall follow if less than the
entire Leased Premises be thus taken, or transferred in lieu of such a taking,
but to such extent that it would be legally and commercially impossible for
Tenant to occupy the portion of the Leased Premises remaining, and impossible
for Tenant reasonable to conduct his trade or business therein.

         24.02 Should there be such a partial taking or transfer in lieu
thereof, but not to such an extent as to make such continued occupancy and
operation by Tenant an impossibility, then this Lease shall continue on all of
its same terms and conditions subject only to an equitable reduction in rent
proportionate to such taking.

         24.03 In the event of any such taking or transfer, whether of the
entire Leased Premised, or a portion thereof, it is expressly agreed and
understood that all sums awarded, allowed or received in connection therewith
shall belong to Landlord, and any rights otherwise vested in Tenant are hereby
assigned to Landlord, and Tenant shall have no interest in or claim to any such
sums or any portion thereof, whether the same be for the taking of the property
or for damages, or otherwise,

                                     NOTICES

         25.01 All notices, statements, demands, requests, consents, approvals,
authorization, offers, agreements, appointments, or designations under this
Lease by either party to the other shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently
given and served upon the other party, if sent by certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, and addressed as follows:

         26.01 The waiver by Landlord of any breach of any term, covenant, or
condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term,
covenant, or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term,
covenant, or condition herein contained, The subsequent acceptance of rent
hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed

                                       7

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
rental so accepted regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach
at the time of acceptance of such rent.


                             EFFECT OF HOLDING OVER

         27.01 If Tenant should remain in possession of the Leased Premises
after the expiration of the Lease term and without executing a new Lease, then
such holding over shall be construed as a tenancy from month-to-month, subject
to all the conditions, provisions, and obligations of this Lease insofar as the
same are applicable to a month-to-month tenancy, except that the rent payable
pursuant to subparagraph 3.01 hereof shall be doubled.

                                  SUBORDINATION

         28.01 This Lease, at Landlord's option, shall be subordinate to any
ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation for security
now or hereafter placed upon the real property of which the Premises are a part
and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof,

         28.02 Tenant agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate
such subordination or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any ground lease,
mortgage or deed of trust, as the case may be, and failing to do so within ten
(10) days after written demand, does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably
appoint Landlord as Tenant's attorney in fact and in Tenant's name, place and
stead, to do so. If requested to do so, Tenant agrees to attorn to any person or
other entity that acquires title to the real property encompassing the Leased
Premises, whether through judicial foreclosure, sale under power, or otherwise,
and to any assignee of such person or other entity,

                              ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE

         29.01 Upon ten (10) days notice from Landlord to Tenant, Tenant shall
deliver a certificate dated as of the 1st day of the calendar month in which
such notice is received, executed by an appropriate officer, partner or
individual, and stating (i) the commencement date of this Lease; (ii) the space
occupied by Tenant hereunder; (iii) the expiration date hereof; (iv) a
description of any renewal or expansion options; (v) the amount of rental
currently and actually paid by Tenant under this lease; (vi) the nature of any
default or claimed default hereunder by Landlord and (vii) that Tenant is not in
default hereunder nor has any event occurred which with the passage of time or
the giving of notice would become a default by Tenant hereunder,

                                     PARKING

         30.01 Tenant shall be entitled to park in common with other tenants of
Landlord. Tenant agrees not to overburden the other tenants in the use of
parking facilities. Landlord reserves the right in its absolute discretion to
determine whether parking facilities are becoming crowded and, in such event, to
allocate parking spaces among Tenant and other tenants. There will be no
assigned parking. Tenant agrees to park all Tenants' trucks in the parking
spaces provided at the rear of the Building. "Parking" as used herein means the
use by Tenant's employees, its visitors, invitees, and customers for the parking
of motor vehicles for such periods of time as are reasonably necessary in
connection with use of and/or visits to the demised premises. No vehicle may be
repaired or serviced in the parking area and any vehicle deemed abandoned by
Landlord will be towed from the project and all costs therein shall be borne by
the Tenant. All driveways, ingress and egress, and all parking spaces are for
the joint use of all tenants. No area outside of premises shall be used by
Tenant for storage without Landlord's prior written permission. There shall be
no parking permitted on any of the streets or roadways located in Gwinnett Park,

                               MORTGAGE PROTECTION

         31.01 In the event of any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will
give notice by registered or certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed or
trust or mortgagee of a

                                       8
<PAGE>
mortgage covering the Premises whose address shall have been furnished it, and
shall offer such beneficiary or mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to cure the
default, including time to obtain possession of the Premises by power of sale or
a judicial foreclosure, if such should prove necessary to effect a cure.

                              PROTECTIVE COVENANTS

                                 GWINNETT PARK

                                NORCROSS, GEORGIA

1.   The exterior walls of all buildings shall be of masonry construction, its
     equivalent or better. The use of materials shall be subject to the approval
     of the Planning Advisory Committee.

2.   No site or lot shall be used for any purpose or business which is
     considered dangerous or unsafe, or which constitutes a nuisance, or is
     noxious or offensive by reason of emission of just, odor, gas, smoke, fumes
     or noise.

3.   No loading docks shall be constructed facing any public street or highway
     unless said loading dock and every part thereof is at least one hundred
     (100) feet inside the right-of-way line of the street or highway on which
     said loading dock fronts.

4.   Outdoor storage yards shall be screened from public view and shall be
     placed as to conform to the building line restrictions set forth in
     Paragraph 7 of these restrictive covenants.

5.   Tenants shall not permit their employees to regularly park during business
     hours on public streets within said Industrial Community. It will be the
     responsibility of the said tenant, their successors, assigns, or other
     persons holding under them to provide adequate off-street parking for
     employees and visitors within property lines. All such parking areas shall
     be covered with a hard, dust free, paved surface. All paved areas will be
     curbed.

6.   The ratio of building coverage to the total site area will be subject to
     the approval of the Planning Committee but in no case may the ratio
     exceed fifty percent (50%).

7.   No building shall be constructed on any lot nearer than thirty (30) feet to
     the right-of-way line of street. In the case of corner lots both thirty
     (30) foot front setbacks will apply. There must be maintained a strip of
     twelve (12) feet minimum of landscaped ground, landscaped in accordance
     with the architects plans, along and within the street property lines,
     exclusive of drives and walks.

8.   Minimum side yards shall be twenty-five (25) feet and shall aggregate fifty
     (50) feet on each individually owned lot, provided, however, where suitable
     the twenty-five (25) foot minimum may be waived by the Planning Advisory
     Committee. In the event more than one lot shall be owned by one person or
     entity and in the improvement of such lot or track a building shall be
     erected on more than one lot, then the side line restriction on the
     interior line or lines shall be waived. Provided, further, that if a part
     of a tract or lot shall be shod before any improvement shall have been
     erected, then the line between the part sold and the part retained shall be
     the property line to which the setback restrictions shall apply.

9.   The tenant of any site or lot shall at all times keep the premises,
     buildings, improvements and appurtenances in a safe, clean, wholesome
     condition and comply in all respects with all government, health, fire and
     police requirements and regulation, and any tenant will remove at his or
     its own expense any rubbish of any character whatsoever which may
     accumulate on said site or lot, and in the event said tenant fails to
     comply with any or all of the aforesaid specifications and/or requirements,
     then and only then, the owner shall have the right, privilege and license
     to enter upon the premises and make any and all


                                       11

<PAGE>

     corrections or improvements that may be necessary to meet such standards at
     the expense of the tenant.

10.  The tenant of any site or lot shall at all times keep the landscaping in
     good order and condition. Should the tenant of any site or lot fail to
     remedy any deficiency in the maintenance of the landscaping after proper
     notification by the Planning Advisory Committee, the owner hereby expressly
     reserves the right, privilege and license to make any and all corrections
     or improvements in landscape maintenance at the expense of the tenant.

11.  Plans and specifications for the construction, installation or alteration
     of all outdoor signs shall be first submitted to and have the written
     approval of Gwinnett Park, its successors or assigns, which approval shall
     not be unreasonably withheld.

12.  The invalidation of any one of the restrictions herein set forth or the
     failure to enforce any of said restrictions at the time of its violation
     shall in no event effect any of the other restrictions nor be deemed a
     waiver of the right to enforce the same thereafter.

13.  Each of the above and foregoing protective covenants shall apply to owners
     of property within the Gwinnett Park, as well as tenants. Wherever the word
     "tenant" is used in these protective covenants, the same shall be
     constructed to include owners.

                                       12
