    RECITALS:

    

    Whereas, Cousins Properties
Incorporated, successor in interest to WF Associates, as landlord, and Tenant
through its predecessor in interest, NationsBank of North Carolina, as tenant,
entered into that certain Office Lease, dated September 1, 1994, which was

15th
floors of the Building commonly known as One Independence Center (the “High-Rise
Lease”); and

    

    Whereas, Cousins Properties
Incorporated, successor in interest to WF Associates, as landlord, and Tenant
through its predecessor in interest, North Carolina National Bank, as tenant,
entered into that certain Lease Agreement, dated October 1, 1981, which was
subsequently amended, for the lease of space on the basement level and the
1st
through 9th floors
of the One Independence Center (the “Low-Rise Lease”); and

    

    Whereas, Landlord has now purchased One
Independence Center; and

    

    Whereas,
Landlord and Tenant have agreed to enter into a new lease for the space
currently occupied by Tenant in One Independence Center; and

    

    Whereas, Landlord and Tenant agree that
upon the Commencement Date of this Lease, this Lease shall supersede and replace
the Low-Rise and High-Rise Leases (collectively, the “Prior Leases”) in their
entirety, and the Prior Leases shall automatically terminate and be of no
further force or effect, except that any currently outstanding obligations of
either party under the Prior Leases as of the Commencement Date of this Lease
shall carry forward.

    

    Now, therefore, in consideration of the
mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other sufficient
consideration received and acknowledged by each party, Landlord and Tenant agree

      (whether or not then available), adjusted to take into account the value
      of any tenant improvement allowance, rent concession, moving expense
      reimbursement or other financial inducement or allocation which Landlords
      in the Charlotte, North Carolina market area would or might consider in
      establishing the rental rate to offer to non-renewal, nonequity tenants,
      the cost to Landlord of vacancy and downtime while the Premises would be
      marketed and refurbished for another tenant, costs of reletting including
      legal fees, brokerage commissions, and tenant allowances, and taking
      further into account the “single user” or specialty nature of the
      Building, the costs of subdividing space for multiple tenants, the
      creditworthiness of Tenant, and the floor size and efficiency of the floor
      plate.

    SPECIFIC TERMS AND
CONDITIONS

    

    Landlord and Tenant specifically agree
as follows:

    

    ARTICLE 1 -
PREMISES

    

    1.1           Lease of
Premises.  Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant leases from
Landlord, the Premises described in Section A hereof and shown on the floor
plans attached as Exhibit
A.

    

    1.2           Delivery of
Premises.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Tenant has
previously occupied the Premises pursuant to the Prior Leases.  Upon
the Commencement Date hereof, Tenant shall continue to occupy the Premises under
this Lease and shall have the right to operate its business in the Premises in a
continuous and uninterrupted manner.

    

    1.3           Contraction
Option.  The option to contract granted by Landlord to Tenant
under this Lease shall be as set forth in Exhibit C hereto and
is specifically incorporated herein by reference.

    

    1.4           ROFO.  The
right of first offer granted by Landlord to Tenant under this Lease shall be as
set forth in Exhibit
D hereto and is specifically incorporated herein by
reference.

    

    1.5           Re-Measurement.
Landlord and Tenant have agreed that Landlord will re-measure the Premises and
the Building in accordance with BOMA Standards.  Landlord shall
appoint an architectural firm (“Measuring Firm”) reasonably satisfactory to both
Landlord and Tenant to conduct the re-measurement of the Building and/or
Premises.  Landlord shall provide the Measuring Firm CAD files,
drawings and area spreadsheets for all floors and Common Areas of the Building
that are in Landlord’s possession.  The re-measurement shall include
rentable and useable measurements and an add-on factor as determined by the
Measuring Firm in accordance with BOMA Standards.  The Measuring Firm
shall provide measurements and drawings to both Landlord and Tenant for their
review and mutual approval. Landlord and Tenant shall approve or disapprove the
measurements and drawings within thirty (30) days of receipt and shall provide
written notice of such approval or disapproval to the other party and the
Measuring Firm.   If Landlord and Tenant both approve the
measurements and drawings provided by the Measuring Firm, then such measurements
and drawings shall be deemed final and approved.  If Landlord and/or
Tenant dispute the measurements and/or drawings, Landlord and Tenant shall
appoint a second architectural firm (“Second Measuring Firm”) reasonably
satisfactory to both parties to conduct a second re-measurement of the Building
and Premises.  The Second Measuring Firm shall follow the same
procedures set forth above for the initial Measuring Firm; provided, however,
that the Second Measuring Firm’s drawings and measurements shall be deemed final
and Landlord and Tenant shall have no approval rights with regard
thereto.  The cost of the re-measuring of the Building and Premises
shall be borne by Landlord; however, if there is a second re-measuring, the
costs of such second re-measurement shall be divided equally between Landlord
and Tenant.   Notwithstanding the above, in no event shall the
Base Rent be decreased or increased due to the re-measurement of the Premises,
however, Tenant’s Pro-rata Share of High-Rise, Low-Rise and Revised Operating
Expenses shall be adjusted based upon such re-measurement and shall become
effective as of the Rent Commencement Date of this Lease.  Landlord
and Tenant agree to promptly enter into an amendment to this Lease incorporating
any changes to the provisions of this Lease as a result of such
re-measurement.

executed original to the other party no later than three (3) business days after

this Lease shall be set forth in Exhibit B hereto,
which Exhibit is specifically incorporated herein by reference.

    

    2.4           Early Termination
Right.  By providing no less than 12 months notice, together
with payment equal to three (3) month’s Base Rent for the portion of the
Premises terminated by Tenant at the then current rate, Tenant will have a
one-time right at the end of the twelfth (12th) Lease
Year to terminate all or a portion of the Premises; provided that, in the case
of a partial termination, such partial termination is in full floor increments
only, unless Tenant occupies a partial floor, in which case such termination

elected early termination.

    

    ARTICLE 3 – LEASE
INDUCEMENT/RENT

    *  Subject
to re-measurement pursuant to section 1.5. Upon re-measurement the Rental Rate
may adjust however, the Annual Base Rent Amount is fixed as stated in the above
table.

    

    Base Rent
shall not be adjusted due to the re-measurement of the Premises in accordance
with Section 1.5 hereof.

    

    3.3           Base Rent
Adjustment.  Commencing on August 1, 2009, Base Rent for the
Low Rise floors shall equal (i) $19.25 per square foot of Rentable Area in the
Low Rise floors, plus (ii) an amount equal to 1.25% of the Net Base Rent (as
adjusted) in effect for the previous Lease Year (the “Base Rent
Adjustment”).   Thereafter, on August 1 of each succeeding Year,
annual Base Rent for the Low Rise floors shall increase by an amount equal to
the Base Rent Adjustment.   Commencing on November 21, 2010, Base
Rent for the High Rise floors shall be at the then applicable rental rate (i.e.,
as escalated) as specified above for the Low Rise floors and shall thereafter
escalate on August 1 of each Year by an amount equal to the Base Rent
Adjustment.  The Net Base Rent for the Lease Year commencing August 1,
2009 shall be the difference between $19.25 per square foot of Rentable Area in
the Premises and the Revised Operating Expense Base per square foot of Rentable
Area in the Premises.  Landlord shall provide Tenant written notice of
each Base Rent Adjustment amount no later than sixty (60) days prior to the date
such Base Rent Adjustment shall go into effect.  There shall be no
Base Rent Adjustment for Basement Space.

    

    3.4           Personal Property
Taxes.  In addition to Base Rent, Tenant shall pay to the
appropriate taxing authority(ies), prior to delinquency, all Personal Property
taxes, charges, rates, duties and license fees (collectively, “Personal Property
Taxes”) assessed against or levied upon Tenant's Personal
Property.  Tenant shall request the appropriate taxing authority to
have such Personal Property Taxes upon the Personal Property billed separately
from the property of Landlord.

    3.5           Definition of
Rent.  Rent includes any and all payments of Base Rent and any
and all taxes, fees, charges, costs, expenses, insurance obligations, late
charges, and all other payments, disbursements or reimbursements (collectively
“Rent”) which are attributable to, payable by or the responsibility of Tenant
under this Lease.  Annual Base Rent shall be paid in twelve equal
monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each month.  Any
Rent payable to Landlord by Tenant for any fractional month shall be prorated
based on the actual number of days in the applicable month.  All
payments owed by Tenant under this Lease shall be paid to Landlord in lawful
money of the United States of America at the address specified for Landlord in
the definitions section of this Lease as may be changed from time to time
pursuant to Article 33.  All payments shall be paid without deduction,
set-off or counterclaim, except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Lease.

    

    3.6           Late
Charge.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the late payment
by Tenant of Rent, as applicable, or the late payment by Landlord of amounts
owed to Tenant under this Lease will cause the party who was entitled to receive
such payment (“Payee”) to incur damages, including administrative costs, loss of
use of the overdue funds and other costs, the exact amount of which would be
impractical and extremely difficult to fix.  Landlord and Tenant agree
that if the Payee does not receive a payment within ten (10) days following the
delivery by Payee of notice to the other party (“Sender”) that such payment is
overdue, the overdue amount shall bear interest at the Contract Rate, from the
date payment of such amount was due until Payee receives the overdue
payment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in the event Sender
is late and, as a result thereof, Payee delivers any such notice more than twice
in any twelve (12) consecutive month period, then in each instance, if any,
during the twelve (12) month period immediately following said second notice
that such payment is not received on or before the date same is due, the overdue
amount shall bear interest at the Contract Rate from the applicable due date
until Payee receives the overdue payment, without any such ten (10) day grace
period, but provided that such notice is sent to Sender within ten (10) days of
the due date.  If such notice is not sent within the ten (10) day
period, the late charge shall be computed at the Contract Rate from the date
such notice is received by Sender.  Acceptance of the late charges by
Payee shall not cure or waive a default, nor prevent Payee from exercising,
before or after such acceptance, any of the rights and remedies for a default
provided by this Lease or at law.  Payment of the late charge is not
an alternative means of performance of Payee's obligation at the times specified
in this Lease.  Payee will be liable for the late charge regardless of
whether Payee's failure to pay when due constitutes a default under this
Lease.

    

    ARTICLE 4 - OPERATING
EXPENSES

    

    4.1           Tenant’s Responsibility for
Operating Expenses.  Tenant shall pay as additional rent,
Tenant’s Pro-rata Share of High-Rise, Low-Rise and/or Revised Operating
Expenses, as applicable, as determined pursuant to this Article 4 and the
provisions of Exhibits
E, F and G, which are incorporated herein by
reference.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Tenant
shall not pay any High-Rise, Low-Rise or Revised Operating Expenses as set forth
in this Article 4 with regard to the Basement Space.  Landlord agrees
that operating expenses shall be consistently applied for and throughout the
Building (i.e., Landlord’s contracts for identical services provided to each
floor of the Building shall be the same and there shall be no variance in the
costs to provide identical services to different floors throughout the
Building).

    

    4.2           High-Rise Operating
Expenses.  During the period commencing August 1, 2004 and
ending November 20, 2010, (“High-Rise Operating Expense Period”), if Landlord's
High-Rise Operating Expenses exceed the High-Rise Operating Expense Base, Tenant
agrees to pay as additional monthly rent for floors 11 through 15 of the
Premises, Tenant's Pro-rata Share of such excess High-Rise Operating
Expenses.  The term “Tenant's Pro-rata Share of such excess High-Rise
Operating Expenses” means (a) the amount by which Landlord's High-Rise Operating
Expenses per square foot exceed the High-Rise Operating Expense Base, multiplied
by (b) the number of square feet of Rentable Area comprising floors 11 – 15 of
the Premises.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision, if the Building
is not fully occupied during any Calendar Year, High-Rise Operating Expenses and
Tenant's additional rent based thereon shall be determined as if the Building
had been 95% occupied during such Year.  The intent of the foregoing
sentence is to permit Landlord to pass through to Tenant Tenant's proportional
share of actual High-Rise Operating Expenses in excess of the High-Rise
Operating Expense Base, but not to allow Landlord to make a profit on High-Rise
Operating Expenses.  During any partial Year during the Term (such as
the Year in which this Lease commences and the Year in which this Lease
terminates), actual High-Rise Operating Expenses shall be adjusted as set forth
above and in addition shall be annualized so that the resulting number fairly
represents what actual High-Rise Operating Expenses would have been, over a
twelve-month period, if the Building had been 95% occupied throughout such
Calendar Year.   Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the intent
of this Section 4.2 is for Tenant to continue paying operating expenses during
the High-Rise Operating Expense Period in the same manner as Tenant previously
paid operating expenses under the High-Rise Lease for floors 11 through
15.

    4.3           Low-Rise Operating
Expenses.  During the period commencing August 1, 2004 and
ending July 31, 2008 (“Low-Rise Operating Expense Period”), if Landlord's
Low-Rise Operating Expenses exceed the Low-Rise Operating Expense Base, Tenant
agrees to pay as additional monthly rent for floors 1 through 9 of the Premises,
Tenant's Pro-rata Share of such excess Low-Rise Operating
Expenses.  The term “Tenant's Pro-rata Share of such excess Low-Rise
Operating Expenses” means (a) the amount by which Landlord's Low-Rise Operating
Expenses per square foot exceed the Low-Rise Operating Expense Base, multiplied
by (b) the number of square feet of Rentable Area comprising floors 1 – 9 of the
Premises.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision, if the Building is
not fully occupied during any Calendar Year, Low-Rise Operating Expenses and
Tenant's additional rent based thereon shall be determined as if the Building
had been 95% occupied during such Year.  The intent of the foregoing
sentence is to permit Landlord to pass through to Tenant Tenant's proportional
share of actual Low-Rise Operating Expenses in excess of the Low-Rise Operating
Expense Base, but not to allow Landlord to make a profit on Low-Rise Operating
Expenses.  During any partial Year during the Term (such as the Year
in which this Lease commences and the Year in which this Lease terminates),
actual Low-Rise Operating Expenses shall be adjusted as set forth above and in
addition shall be annualized so that the resulting number fairly represents what
actual Low-Rise Operating Expenses would have been, over a twelve-month period,
if the Building had been 95% occupied throughout such Calendar
Year.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the intent of this Section
4.3 is for Tenant to continue paying operating expenses during the Low-Rise
Operating Expense Period in the same manner as Tenant previously paid operating
expenses under the Low-Rise Lease for floors 1 through 9.

    

    4.4           Revised Operating
Expenses.  Commencing August 1, 2009 (with respect to the Low
Rise Operating Expenses) and commencing November 21, 2011 (with respect to the
High Rise Operating Expenses) and continuing thereafter throughout the remainder
of the Term (“Revised Operating Expense Period”), if Landlord's Revised
Operating Expenses exceed the Revised Base Expense Rate, Tenant agrees to pay as
additional monthly rent for the entire Premises, Tenant's Pro-rata Share of such
excess Revised Operating Expenses.  The term “Tenant's share of such
excess Revised Operating Expenses” means (a) the amount by which Landlord's
Revised Operating Expenses per square foot exceed the Revised Base Expense Rate,
multiplied by (b) the number of square feet of Rentable Area in the
Premises.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision, if the Building is
not fully occupied during any Calendar Year, Revised Operating Expenses and
Tenant's additional rent based thereon shall be determined as if the Building
had been 95% occupied during such Year.  The intent of the foregoing
sentence is to permit Landlord to pass through to Tenant Tenant's proportional
share of actual Revised Operating Expenses in excess of the Revised Base Expense
Rate, but not to allow Landlord to make a profit on Revised Operating
Expenses.  During any partial Year during the Term (such as the Year
in which this Lease commences and the Year in which this Lease terminates),
actual Revised Operating Expenses shall be adjusted as set forth above and in
addition shall be annualized so that the resulting number fairly represents what
actual Revised Operating Expenses would have been, over a twelve-month period,
if the Building had been 95% occupied throughout such Calendar
Year.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that it is the parties’ intent
that during the Revised Operating Expense Period, Tenant will pay additional
rent with regard to the applicable portions of the Premises based upon the
Revised Operating Expenses rather than being based upon the operating expense
language set forth in the High-Rise and Low-Rise Leases as more particularly
described in Sections 4.2 and 4.3 above.

    4.5          Gross-Up.  For
the purposes of the “gross-up” provisions contained in Sections 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4
hereof, Landlord shall only increase High-Rise, Low-Rise and Revised Operating
Expenses which by their nature vary based on the occupancy of the
Building.  Landlord will not increase those High-Rise, Low-Rise and
Revised Operating Expenses which by their nature are fixed independently of the
level of occupancy of the Building.

    

    4.6          Procedure for Payment of
Operating Expense Adjustments.  Tenant shall pay Tenant's
Pro-rata Share of High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating Expenses and
Revised Operating Expenses as follows:

    

    (a)           By
July 1st of each Calendar Year, Landlord shall provide to Tenant a written
notice of Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the amount Tenant shall owe on a
monthly basis for High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating Expenses and
Revised Operating Expenses, as applicable, for the next succeeding full or
partial Calendar Year of the Term for Tenant’s review and
comment.  Landlord’s notice shall include an itemized statement
(“Budget”), showing in reasonable detail the following:  (i) the
estimated amount of High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating Expenses
and Revised Operating Expenses, as applicable, (ii) Tenant’s Pro-rata Share of
estimated High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating Expenses and Revised
Operating Expenses, as applicable, (iii) the estimated amount for each major
category of expense that is expected to be included in High-Rise Operating
Expenses, Low-Rise Operating Expenses and Revised Operating Expenses, as
applicable, including, without limitation, any items that constitute capital
expenditures in accordance with this Lease and the amount thereof to be
amortized during such Calendar Year, (iv) the estimated rates to be charged by
Landlord for above standard services for the Project; (v) the actual amounts for
all such items for the prior Calendar Year.  It is understood and
agreed by Landlord and Tenant that the High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise
Operating Expenses and Revised Operating Expenses, as applicable, shall be
estimated on a reasonable good faith basis taking into consideration, among
other things, the actual High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating
Expenses and Revised Operating Expenses, as applicable, for the then current
Calendar Year, a good faith estimate of the rate of cost increases during the
then current Calendar Year, the actual known prospective increases to each item
in the Budget and a good faith estimate for contingencies for the next
succeeding Calendar Year.  Tenant may disapprove any portion of a
proposed Budget only if such portion of the Budget fails to reflect the
reasonable and necessary High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating
Expenses and Revised Operating Expenses, as applicable, to operate, repair and
maintain the Project in conformity with the requirements of this Lease and in
accordance with the accepted principles of sound management practices as applied
to the operation, repair and maintenance of comparable buildings in Uptown
Charlotte, North Carolina.  If Tenant disapproves a portion of a
proposed Budget, Tenant shall so notify Landlord in writing within thirty (30)
days of Tenant’s receipt of a proposed Budget, which notification shall state,
in reasonable detail, the item or items of the proposed Budget disapproved by
Tenant and the basis for such disapproval.  Landlord and Tenant shall
negotiate in good faith to resolve any differences concerning any proposed
Budget.  Landlord shall deliver to Tenant the proposed final Budget
for the next succeeding Calendar Year on or before November 1 of each Calendar
Year.  Tenant shall pay such estimated amounts during the applicable
Calendar Year, in equal monthly installments, on or before the first day of each
calendar month, together with Tenant's installment payment of Base
Rent.

    
      
         

      

      
        16

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    (b)           Within
one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Calendar Year, or as soon
thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall provide a statement itemized on a line
item by line item basis (the “Year-End Statement”) to Tenant
showing:  (i) the amount of actual High-Rise Operating Expenses,
Low-Rise Operating Expenses and Revised Operating Expenses, as applicable, for
such Calendar Year; and (ii) any amount paid by Tenant toward High-Rise
Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating Expenses and Revised Operating Expenses,
as applicable, during such Calendar Year on an estimated basis .

    

    (c)           If
the Year-End Statement shows that Tenant's estimated payments were less than
Tenant's actual obligations for High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating
Expenses and Revised Operating Expenses, as applicable, for such Year, Tenant
shall pay the difference.  Tenant shall make such payment within
forty-five (45) days after Landlord sends the Year-End Statement.

    

    (d)           If
the Year-End Statement shows that Tenant's estimated payments exceeded Tenant's
actual obligations for High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating Expenses
and Revised Operating Expenses, as applicable, Tenant shall receive a refund or
credit (at
Tenant's election, unless this Lease has terminated, in which case a refund
shall be paid to Tenant within thirty (30) days of demand by Tenant) of such
difference against payments of High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating
Expenses and Revised Operating Expenses, as applicable, next due.  If
the Term shall have expired and no further High-Rise Operating Expenses,
Low-Rise Operating Expenses and Revised Operating Expenses, as applicable, shall
be due, Tenant shall receive a refund of such difference within thirty (30) days
after Landlord sends the Year-End Statement.  Provided, however,
Landlord shall be entitled to offset any amounts due Tenant under this
subparagraph against any amounts as to which Tenant is in default to Landlord at
the time such credit or refund is determined.

    

    (e)           No
delay by Landlord in providing the Year-End Statement shall be deemed a default
by Landlord but Landlord shall be prohibited from billing Tenant for any
High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating Expenses and Revised Operating
Expenses, as applicable, more than one (1) Year from the date Landlord incurred
such High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating Expenses and Revised
Operating Expenses, as applicable, and any such failure to timely bill Tenant
shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord's right to require payment of Tenant's
obligations for any such High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating
Expenses and Revised Operating Expenses, as applicable.  Any High-Rise
Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating Expenses and Revised Operating Expenses,
as applicable, which remain unbilled or which have been billed but, due to
legitimate disputes, remain unpaid at the time of conveyance of the Project or
any portion thereof which is the subject of such conveyance shall not transfer
to any grantee of the Project or portion thereof; however, this sentence shall
not prohibit billing within the one (1) Year period by the Landlord which
incurred such expenses prior to the sale or conveyance, or in the event of
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, by a lender to whom this Lease is
subordinate and to whom the Landlord which incurred the expenses has assigned
its rights to collect same.

    

    (f)           If
Tenant's obligation to pay High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating
Expenses and Revised Operating Expenses commences other than on January 1, or
ends other than on December 31, Tenant's obligation to pay estimated and actual
amounts toward High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating Expenses and
Revised Operating Expenses, as applicable, for such first or final Calendar
Years shall be prorated to reflect the portion of such Years included within the
period for which Tenant is obligated to pay High-Rise Operating Expenses,
Low-Rise Operating Expenses and Revised Operating Expenses, as
applicable.  Such proration shall be made by multiplying the total
estimated or actual (as the case may be) High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise
Operating Expenses and Revised Operating Expenses, as applicable, for such
Calendar Years by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days
within the period for which Tenant is obligated to pay High-Rise Operating
Expenses, Low-Rise Operating Expenses and Revised Operating Expenses, as
applicable, during such Calendar Year, and the denominator of which shall be the
total number of days in such Calendar Year.

    
      
         

      

      
        17

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    4.7           Review of Operating
Expenses.  The books, records and all information pertaining to
High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating Expenses and Revised Operating
Expenses shall once each Year be reviewed to prepare a Year-End Statement
pursuant to Section 4.6 and (if applicable) determine the proper amount of
Tenant's and all other tenants' pro-rata shares, and which expenses shall be
included in High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating Expenses and
Revised Operating Expenses.  At Tenant’s option, Tenant may, upon
reasonable prior notice during regular business hours, elect to perform an audit
of Landlord’s books and records pertaining to the Project (“Independent
Determination”); provided, however, that Tenant may only perform one audit per
Calendar Year and cannot audit any Calendar Year previously audited by
Tenant.   Such firm shall be instructed to review all appropriate
leases, books and records, allocate costs and expenses to High-Rise Operating
Expenses, Low-Rise Operating Expenses and Revised Operating Expenses, as
applicable, to the extent required by this Lease, and issue the appropriate
estimated and actual Year-End Statement(s).  The results of each
Year-End Statement (pursuant to Section 4.6) shall be delivered simultaneously
to Landlord and Tenant.  If Tenant's audit shall disclose an
overpayment or an underpayment of the High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise
Operating Expenses and Revised Operating Expenses, as applicable, for such
Calendar Year covered by the Year-End Statement(s), then, unless Landlord
disputes the correctness of such audit, Tenant shall pay the amount of such
underpayment or shall be credited for the amount of such overpayment, as the
case may be.  Any such audit shall be at Tenant's expense, provided,
however, that if such audit shall disclose an overpayment by Tenant for any
Calendar Year covered by the Year-End Statement(s) in excess of four percent
(4%), the costs of such audit shall be paid by Landlord.  Landlord may
dispute the results of Tenant's audit by referring the dispute to binding
arbitration in accordance with the rules of a nationally recognized arbitration
association (i.e., JAMS) within forty-five (45) days after receipt of Tenant's
audit.  If one party is solely successful in arbitration, the
non-successful party shall bear the costs of arbitration; otherwise, such costs
are to be divided equally between the parties.  Each party shall bear
its own attorney's fees and expenses.  Landlord shall be required to
maintain records of all High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating
Expenses and Revised Operating Expenses for a period of no less than three (3)
Years.

    

    4.8           Tax
Protests.  Landlord shall pay all taxes, assessments and other
governmental charges when due and payable and prior to the time any penalty or
interest may be charged in respect of the nonpayment thereof, and shall obtain
receipted tax bills for such payments.  Landlord, may, however,
petition for reduction of the assessed valuation of the Building and/or the
Project, claim a refund of taxes or otherwise challenge the validity, amount or
applicability of any tax, assessment or other similar governmental charge (“Tax
Protest”).  In addition to Landlord’s right to pursue any such Tax
Protest, Tenant shall have the right to provide Landlord written notice
requesting that Landlord initiate a Tax Protest, whereafter Landlord shall be
obligated to initiate and pursue such Tax Protest.  Any refund of any
tax, assessment or governmental charge received by Landlord pursuant to any Tax
Protest (after any reimbursement of Tenant’s costs if provided hereinabove)
shall, to the extent of Tenant’s Pro-rata Share thereof, be credited against the
next installments of Rent or Tenant’s High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise
Operating Expenses or Revised Operating Expenses due hereunder.

    

    4.9           Limitation on Ad Valorem Tax
Increases.  Except that this provision shall not be applicable
to any increased real estate taxes due to Landlord’s initial purchase of the
Building, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any increase in real estate taxes
for the first five (5) Years immediately following the sale of the Building by
Landlord or any subsequent owner of the Building during the Term as may be
extended.

    4.10           Limitation on Capital
Improvements.  Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary
contained herein, and in addition to the limitations set forth in Section 10.2
of this Lease, Landlord shall not incur capital expenditures which individually
or in the aggregate exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) in any 365
day period without providing Tenant with not less than forty-five (45) days
prior written notice, which notice shall include (a) a statement of estimated
costs, and (b) written justification for the necessity of such
expenditures.  Tenant may object to such expenditures within such
forty-five (45) day period and (i) request that Landlord investigate and provide
alternatives such as repair or refurbishment of existing improvements or lower
cost suppliers or equipment; or (ii) challenge the necessity of such
expenditures.  Upon receiving notice of Tenant’s objection, Landlord
may either address Tenant’s objections and submit another written notice to
Tenant as required by this paragraph, make the expenditures, or defer the
expenditures, but in the event Landlord makes the expenditures over Tenant’s
objection, no portion of the expenditures which causes the $100,000.00 limit to
be exceeded shall be passed through to Tenant as High-Rise Operating Expenses,
Low-Rise Operating Expenses or Revised Operating Expenses (as applicable)
hereunder.  Additionally, the Required Capital Improvements described
in Section 10.2 hereof shall not be passed through to Tenant except as expressly
permitted by such Section.

Landlord.

    

    5.2           Exclusivity.  During
the Term of this Lease (as it may be extended) Landlord shall not (i) use, lease
or permit (including signage) any area within the Building or the Project to be
used by anyone other than Tenant for “banking purposes,” which shall include
general office uses and facilities for receiving deposits or making loans to the
general public, whether done by a state bank, national bank, savings and loan
association, credit union or other entity, whether by walk-up or drive-in teller
facility, lending office, or automated teller machine or otherwise; or (ii) use,
lease, or permit any area in the Building or the Project to be used for other
than a first class use, consistent with the image required by Tenant for
marketing Tenant’s banking operations, without Tenant’s prior written
approval.

    

    5.3           Restriction on
Use.  Except for any requirements of Landlord applicable to the

paid by Tenant; all other costs of any such compliance shall be paid by Landlord
and, to the extent expressly provided for in this Lease, included in High-Rise
Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating Expenses or Revised Operating Expenses
(as applicable), and Tenant shall, except to the extent expressly provided
otherwise in this Lease, bear and pay Tenant's Pro-rata Share

    5.4           Common
Areas.  Tenant, its employees and invitees shall have the
non-exclusive right to use the Common Areas as constituted for general use of
occupants of the Building from time to time, such use to be in common with
Landlord, other tenants of the Project and other
persons.  Additionally, Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have the
right to use the Common Areas for special events in accordance with Exhibit L attached
hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

or existing conduits, cables, ducts, pipes and other devices for communications,
data processing devices, supplementary heating, ventilating and air conditioning

    5.6           Freight/Receiving.   Landlord
and Tenant acknowledge that Tenant currently has one (1) loading dock dedicated
for Tenant’s exclusive use.  Tenant shall continue to have the

additional cost to Tenant; provided, however, that Tenant shall pay Tenant’s
Pro-rata share of expenses associated with the loading dock and receiving area
as part of High-Rise, Low-Rise and Revised Operating
Expenses.  Landlord shall provide a dock master to supervise and
control the loading dock and receiving area and shall enforce the exclusive use
of Tenant’s dedicated loading dock by restricting anyone other than Tenant from
the use thereof.

    

    ARTICLE 6 – ATM
INSTALLATION

    

    6.1           Existing
ATM.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Tenant currently
operates an ATM in the lobby of the Building.   Tenant shall
continue to have the right during the Term of this Lease to operate the existing
ATM in its current location at no additional charge to Tenant.

    

    6.2           Additional
ATMs.  Landlord hereby agrees to permit Tenant, at Tenant’s
sole cost and expense, the exclusive right to install free-standing automated
teller machines in locations approved by Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense and subject to the following terms and conditions:

    

    (a)           Thirty
days prior to commencing any work with respect to the installation of an ATM,
Tenant shall submit to Landlord plans and specifications in such detail as
Landlord may reasonably request describing the work that Tenant proposes to do
with respect to such installation (hereinafter collectively referred to as the
“ATM Improvements”).  Tenant shall not commence any work until
Landlord has approved in writing the plans and specifications for the ATM
(including, without limitation, approval of the general aesthetics and
lighting).  Thereafter, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall
cause the ATM (including all architecture, design, engineering and construction
associated therewith) to be completed, in a good and workmanlike manner and in
accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord.

    

    (b)           Tenant
shall maintain all ATMs, including all equipment and signage associated
therewith, in good condition and repair.  Upon the expiration of this
Lease, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, remove any ATM
Improvements and repair any damage to the Building or Common Areas caused by the
installation or removal of any such items, and such repairs shall include
returning any Building walls, flooring, ceilings, etc. disturbed by the ATM
installation to its prior condition, normal wear and tear
excepted.

    
      
         

      

      
        20

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    (c)           Tenant
shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for ensuring that the
installation, operation and removal of the ATMs are performed in accordance with
all  Applicable Laws.

    

    
      (d)

  Tenant
shall be responsible for the payment of all utilities servicing Tenant’s ATMs
installed or currently existing in the Building; provided that Landlord installs
(at Landlord’s cost) a metering system or similar device to measure the amount
of Building utilities consumed or used by Tenant’s ATMs.

    

    

    ARTICLE 7 - ALTERATIONS AND
ADDITIONS

    

    7.1           Tenant's Rights to Make
Alterations.  Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall have
the right to make Alterations (as hereinbelow defined) on or about the
Premises.  In no event will Tenant have any obligation to remove any
such Alterations.  In the event any Alterations by Tenant result in
the requirement that Landlord must make any repairs, modifications and/or
improvements in the Common Areas of the Project or in any other space in the
Building, and provided that Landlord has first furnished to Tenant written
notice of the cost of such repairs and afforded Tenant a reasonable opportunity
to perform such repairs itself, then Tenant shall be responsible for the entire
cost thereof incurred by Landlord, which costs shall be payable by Tenant to
Landlord promptly upon demand.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth herein, Tenant shall not be required to obtain Landlord's
prior consent with respect to any Alterations performed within the Premises by
Tenant.  All Alterations shall be made in conformity with the
requirements of Section 7.2 below.  Once the Alterations have been
completed, such Alterations shall thereafter also be included in the designation
of “Tenant Improvements,” under the applicable provisions of this
Lease.

    

    7.2           Installation of
Alterations.  Any Alterations installed by Tenant during the
Term, shall be done in strict compliance with all of the following:

    

    (a)           Prior
to beginning Tenant’s work, if Alterations could reasonably be expected to
adversely impact Building Systems or structure, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord
(i) certificates of insurance from a company or companies reasonably acceptable
to Landlord, covering Tenant's contractor, for combined single limit bodily
injury and property damage insurance covering comprehensive general liability
and automobile liability, in an amount not less than Two Million Dollars
($2,000,000) per occurrence and endorsed to show Landlord and any agents of
Landlord reasonably designated by Landlord in writing as additional insureds,
and for workers' compensation as required by North Carolina law (provided,
however, nothing in this Section 7.2(a) shall release Tenant of its other
insurance obligations hereunder); and (ii) detailed plans and specifications for
such work to the extent reasonably required; and

    

    (b)           All
such work shall be done in a first-class workmanlike manner and in conformity
with a valid building permit and/or all other permits or licenses when and where
required, copies of which shall be furnished to Landlord before the work is
commenced, and any work not acceptable to any governmental authority or agency
having or exercising jurisdiction over such work, or not done in a first-class
workmanlike manner, shall be promptly replaced and corrected at Tenant's
expense.  Landlord's approval or consent to any such work shall not
impose any liability upon Landlord.  No work shall proceed until and
unless Landlord has received at least ten (10) days' notice that such work is to
commence including a commercially reasonable description of the work to be
performed including drawings and specifications when necessary.

    
      
         

      

      
        21

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    7.3           Tenant Improvements -
Treatment at End of Lease.  All Alterations and any Tenant
Improvements made by or for Tenant, which are permanent in character and
permanently attached to the Building Structure, whether by Landlord or Tenant,
shall be Landlord's property, and shall be surrendered to Landlord in good
condition, reasonable wear and tear and damage by casualty excepted, upon
expiration of the Term or termination of this Lease without compensation to
Tenant; provided however, that all of Tenant's Personal Property, including
moveable furniture, trade fixtures, and equipment not attached to the Building
or the Premises or which, although attached, can be removed without compromising
Building Structure or Building Systems, may be removed by Tenant prior to the
expiration of the Term.  Notwithstanding the above and foregoing,
Tenant expressly reserves the right, but not the obligation, to remove all
reusable communications lines, communications equipment including but not
limited to cabling, roof antennas and dishes, monitoring or security equipment,
conveyor systems and shelving installed by Tenant or by Landlord on behalf of
Tenant and all public art installed by Tenant or at Tenant’s cost.  If
Tenant elects to establish a retail banking center within the Premises, all
night depositories, teller counters, automatic teller machines, undercounter
steel, vault and/or vault doors may, at Tenant’s election, be removed by Tenant
at the expiration or termination of the Lease Term.  Provided,
however, that Tenant shall repair all damage caused by such removal prior to the
expiration of the Term, and provided further, that any of Tenant's Personal
Property not so removed shall, at the option of Landlord, if not removed by
Tenant within thirty (30) business days of receipt of notice from Landlord
requesting such removal, automatically become the property of Landlord upon the
expiration or termination of this Lease.  Thereafter, Landlord may
retain or dispose of in any manner (at Tenant’s expense) the Personal Property
not so removed.  All costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in
disposing of any such Personal Property shall be promptly reimbursed to Landlord
by Tenant.  This obligation of Tenant shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Lease.

    

    ARTICLE 8 - TENANT'S
REPAIRS

    

    8.1           Obligation to
Repair.  Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, keep
the Premises (other than the Building Structure and the Building Systems) in
good repair and condition at all times during the Term.  All damage,
injury or breakage to any part or portion of the Premises caused by the willful
or negligent act or omission of Tenant or Tenant's employees, agents,
contractors, subcontractors, licensees, directors, officers, partners, trustees,
visitors or invitees (collectively, “Tenant's Employees”) shall be repaired by
Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to the reasonable satisfaction of
Landlord; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to receive
reimbursement for such expense to the extent that the cost of any such repair is
covered by insurance obtained or required to be obtained by Landlord as part of
High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating Expenses or Revised Operating
Expenses, as applicable.  Landlord may make any repairs which are not
made by Tenant within a reasonable amount of time following receipt by Tenant of
written notice from Landlord requesting that Tenant fulfill its repair
obligation (except in the case of emergency when such repairs can be made
immediately), and charge Tenant for the actual cost of such
repairs.

    
      
         

      

      
        22

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    8.2           Right to
Repair.  Notwithstanding any provision set forth in this Lease
to the contrary, if Tenant provides written notice (or oral notice in the event
of an emergency such as damage or destruction to or of any portion of the
Building Structure and/or the Building Systems) to Landlord of an event or
circumstance which requires the action of Landlord with respect to repair and/or
maintenance, and Landlord fails to undertake and prosecute to completion such
repair or maintenance within a reasonable period of time, given the
circumstances, after the receipt of such notice, but in any event not later than
twenty-one (21) days after receipt of such notice, then Tenant may proceed to
take the required action upon delivery of an additional ten (10) days' notice to
Landlord specifying that Tenant is taking such required action (provided,
however, that such additional notice shall not be required in the event of an
emergency), and if such action was required under the terms of this Lease to be
taken by Landlord and was not taken by Landlord within such ten (10) day period,
then Tenant shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement by Landlord of Tenant's
reasonable costs and expenses in taking such action plus interest thereon at the
Contract Rate.  Furthermore, if Landlord does not deliver a detailed
written objection to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice
by Tenant of its costs of taking action which Tenant claims should have been
taken by Landlord, and if such invoice from Tenant sets forth a reasonably
detailed itemization of its costs and expenses in connection with taking such
action on behalf of Landlord, then Tenant shall be entitled to deduct from Rent
payable by Tenant under this Lease, the amount set forth in such
invoice.  If, however, Landlord delivers to Tenant, within thirty (30)
days after receipt of Tenant's invoice, a written objection to the payment of
such invoice, setting forth with reasonable particularity Landlord's reasons for
its claim that such action did not have to be taken by Landlord pursuant to the
terms of this Lease or that the charges are excessive (in which case Landlord
shall pay the amount it contends would not have been excessive), then Tenant
shall not then be entitled to such deduction from Rent, but as Tenant's sole
remedy, Tenant may proceed to claim a default by Landlord.  If Tenant
prevails in the litigation, Tenant shall be entitled to reimbursement of its
attorney’s fees and court costs, together with interest at the Contract Rate
(from the time of each expenditure by Tenant until the date Tenant receives such
amount by payment or offset and attorneys' fees and related costs), if not paid
by Landlord promptly following such award, may be deducted by Tenant from the
rents next due and owing under this Lease.

    

    ARTICLE 9 - NO LIENS BY
TENANT

    

    Tenant shall at all times keep the
Premises and the Building free from any liens arising out of any work performed
or allegedly performed, materials furnished or allegedly furnished or
obligations incurred by or for Tenant except any work performed by Landlord
pursuant to this Lease.  Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord
harmless from and against any and all claims for mechanics', materialmen's or
other liens in connection with any Alterations, repairs, or any work performed,
materials furnished or obligations incurred by or for Tenant.

    

    ARTICLE 10 - LANDLORD'S

services and security to the Building at a first class level of service which is
consistent with or superior to services provided in other first class buildings
in Charlotte, North Carolina, and maintained to a standard which is not less
than that provided in buildings commonly defined in the industry as “Class A”
and the cost of which (except for certain capital improvements and repairs, as
more specifically set forth in Sections 4.10 and 10.2) shall be included in
High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating Expenses or Revised Operating
Expenses, as applicable.  Landlord shall maintain and repair the
Building Structure and the Building Systems, the Parking Garage and Ivey’s
Parking Deck and the public and Common Areas of the Project as the same may
exist from time to time (including therein any latent defects in the Building).
In no event shall any payments owed by Tenant under this Lease be abated, nor
shall Landlord have any liability for interruption or interference in Tenant's
business, on account of Landlord's failure to make repairs under this Article 10
except as otherwise expressly set forth in Articles 14 and 15.  The
cost of any above standard work orders completed by Landlord at request of
Tenant shall be billed to Tenant at Landlord’s actual cost, without
mark-up.

    
      
         

      

      
        23

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    10.2          Required Capital
Improvements.  As a further inducement to Tenant to enter into
this Lease, Landlord has agreed to cause the following Base Building
improvements to be installed at Landlord's sole cost, which cost shall not be
included in High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating Expenses or Revised
Operating Expenses except to the extent specifically set forth
below. 

    

    (a)           Prior
to the end of the first Lease Year, Landlord shall replace the following
equipment that has reached the end of its useful life:  one (1) British

ballast, except lights in work stations or desk lamps.

    

    (e)           Tenant
may request that Landlord replace the roof not less than five (5) Years after
the Commencement Date if warranted by the age and condition of the current roof,
as determined by a professional inspection by a contractor of Tenant's
choice. 

    

    (f)           Landlord
shall confirm that the Landlord Upgrades defined as such in Exhibit A of the
Third Amendment to the High-Rise Lease have been completed as required therein,
and if such Landlord Upgrades have not been completed, Landlord shall cause such

    The Base Building Upgrades
outlined above shall not be passed through to Tenant as part of High-Rise
Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating Expenses and Revised Operating Expenses,
pursuant to either the Prior Leases or this Lease, except to the
extent such Base Building Upgrades result in a reduction of High-Rise Operating
Expenses, Low-Rise Operating Expenses and Revised Operating Expenses, in which
case, Tenant shall pay the annual straight line amortization of the portion of
such costs which results in High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating
Expenses and Revised Operating Expenses savings over the useful life thereof
with interest at the Contract Rate. 

    

    10.3          Landlord's Right of Entry to
Make Repairs.  Landlord and Landlord's Employees shall have the
right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times for the purpose of making
any alterations, additions, improvements or repairs to the Premises or the

Lease.  Landlord shall give reasonable notice to Tenant of Landlord's
intent to enter the Premises and effect repairs, except, however, in an
emergency situation, in which case no prior notice shall be
required.  Absent an emergency, Landlord shall conduct and schedule
such entry and its activities within the Premises after Tenant’s normal business
hours and in a manner which will attempt in good faith to minimize any
interruption or interference with Tenant's business operations within the
Premises.

    10.4         Building Structure and

and public areas (collectively, “Building Structure”) and the mechanical,
electrical, life safety, security, plumbing, sprinkler systems (connected to the
core) and HVAC systems (including primary and secondary loops connected to the
core) (“Building Systems”) in first class condition and repair and shall operate
the Building as a first class office building.  Notwithstanding
anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not be required to make any
repair to, modification of, or addition to the Building Structure and/or the
Building Systems except and to the extent required because of Tenant's use of
the Premises for other than normal and customary business office
operations.

    

    10.5         ADA.  Landlord
shall be responsible for making all alterations and repairs within the Common
Areas of the Building and Project, including restrooms on floor(s) where Tenant
is a full floor tenant, necessary to comply with the ADA as currently in effect
and interpreted.  Landlord agrees that all alterations, repairs and
improvements to the Common Areas of the Building and Project, as the same may
exist from time to time, made after the Commencement Date shall comply with the
ADA.

    

    ARTICLE 11 - BUILDING
SERVICES

    

    11.1         Standard Building
Services.  Landlord shall furnish the Premises with the
standard Building services and utilities (collectively, the “Services”) as set
forth in the attached Exhibit
I.

    

    11.2         Additional
Services.  Tenant agrees to pay within thirty (30) days
following Landlord's demand therefore all actual, reasonable and documented
costs incurred by Landlord from time to time in providing all Services supplied
to or used by Tenant in excess of or in addition to those Services which
Landlord agrees to provide to Tenant in accordance with Exhibit I (said
excess and additional Services are referred to as “Additional
Services”).  Landlord shall provide to Tenant, upon request by Tenant,
Additional Services requested by Tenant to the extent same can be provided by
the Building Systems.  Landlord shall charge Tenant, and Tenant shall
pay Landlord, for such Additional Services, an amount equal to the actual
out-of-pocket incremental extra costs to Landlord to provide such Additional
Services, without markup for profit, overhead, depreciation or administrative
costs.  All costs shall be prorated among all tenants (if applicable)
then requesting comparable Additional Services during such time
periods.  Such Additional Services shall be available upon demand to
Landlord's Building management by an authorized representative of
Tenant.  In the event Tenant desires to contest any charges for
Additional Services levied by Landlord under this Section 11.2, Tenant may have
Landlord install in the Premises, if Landlord has not previously done so, a
switch and/or metering system.  The cost of any such switch and/or
metering system shall be paid for by Landlord.  Unless it is
determined from the switch and/or metering system that the charges for
Additional Services levied by Landlord were unreasonable in relation to Tenant's
actual use of the Additional Services, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, within
forty-five (45) days following Landlord's demand therefore, for the actual,
reasonable and documented costs of all such Additional Services consumed as
shown by said meters, at the rates charged for such services by the local public
or private utility furnishing the same, if applicable.  If Tenant
needs Additional Services and same may not be provided by Landlord's utilization
of the existing Building Systems, Tenant, at Tenant's sole expense and
conditioned upon the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not
be withheld or delayed, may install such additional equipment it needs to obtain
such Additional Services, and Landlord shall allow Tenant the right to install
such equipment in portions of the Premises or the Building that are reasonably
necessary for such installation and use.

    Notwithstanding the above, Landlord and
Tenant have agreed to the following schedule regarding above standard cleaning
supplies for floors two (2) through five (5):

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (a)

            	
              Landlord
      shall pay for the first (1st)
      shift janitorial supplies provided to Tenant and Tenant will pay Tenant’s
      Pro-rata Share of this expense through High-Rise, Low-Rise and Revised
      Operating Expenses.

            

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (b)

            	
              Second
      (2nd)
      and third (3rd)
      shift supplies will be billed to Tenant directly as above standard
      cleaning service in a detailed invoice without
  mark-up.

            

    

    

    11.3        Tenant's Right to Elect
Service Provider.  To the extent more than one provider of any
given utility is available, and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law,
Tenant shall have the absolute right, from time to time, to select the
provider(s) of utilities to the Project and/or Tenant’s Premises within the
Project.  Additionally, Tenant shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, to approve any contracts for provision of utility services that are
longer than one (1) Year in duration.

    

    11.4        Meters and
Sub-meters.  Landlord agrees that Tenant shall pay for
sub-metered electricity at the same tariff rate that the Landlord purchases
electricity.  If Landlord purchases electricity from a private
provider, the rate the Tenant pays shall not exceed the public utility’s
rate.  Tenant shall have the right to request a usage survey and
calibration test every two (2) years on any sub-meters measuring electricity
provided to the Premises.

    

    ARTICLE 12 - ASSIGNMENT AND
SUBLETTING

    

    12.1        Rights of Assignment and
Sublease. Tenant shall not sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or
assign this Lease, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall be
obtained pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 12.2 below; provided,
however, that Tenant shall have the right, without the consent of Landlord, to
assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion of the Premises to any
Affiliate of Tenant, any corporation that acquires substantially all of the
assets of Tenant, any corporation into which Tenant is merged and any
corporation resulting from a consolidation of Tenant with some other
corporation.  Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay
Landlord’s consent to any proposed subletting or assignment.  Tenant
shall not have the right to sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or assign
this Lease, to an organization or person enjoying sovereign or diplomatic
immunity, a medical or dental practice that will attract a volume, frequency or
type of visitor or employee to the Building which is not consistent with the
standards of a high quality office building or that will impose an excessive
demand on or use of the facilities or services of the
Building.  Tenant shall have the absolute right to retain any profits
resulting from any sublease or assignment of its rights hereunder. If requested
by Tenant in writing, Landlord agrees to require the property manager for the
Project to bill, directly to each subtenant, such subtenant’s pro-rata share of
High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating Expenses and Revised Operating
Expenses.

    

    12.2        Consent to Assignment or
Sublease.   If Tenant requests Landlord's consent to an
assignment of this Lease or subletting of all or a part of the Premises, Tenant
shall submit to Landlord, in writing, at least twenty (20) days prior to the
date on which Tenant desires such sublease or assignment to become effective,
(i) the name of the proposed assignee or sublessee, (ii) the nature of the
business of the proposed assignee or sublessee, and its proposed use of the
Premises, and (iv) the proposed commencement date, term, and rentable square
feet of the assignment or sublease.  No later than twenty (20) days
after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice, Landlord shall provide Tenant
written notice of its approval or disapproval.  In the event Landlord
disapproves of such assignment or sublease, Landlord shall provide Tenant a
detailed explanation of the grounds upon which Landlord has made its
determination.  If Landlord does not provide written notice of
approval or disapproval prior to the expiration of such twenty (20) day period,
then Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the assignment or sublease set
forth in Tenant’s notice. Tenant shall deliver a copy of any assignment or
sublease to Landlord promptly upon full execution thereof.

    
      
         

      

      
        26

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    12.3         Landlord’s Right of
Recapture.  In the event Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to
assign the Lease or sublease a full floor or more of the Premises for a period
of time that is coterminous with the Lease Term (including any exercised Renewal
Term(s)), Landlord shall have the right to recapture the Premises or portion
thereof proposed to be sublet or assigned (the “Recapture
Space”).  Landlord shall have no recapture rights with regard to (i)
the sublease of less than a full floor, (ii) any sublease or assignment that is
for a term expiring prior to the natural expiration date of this Lease, as
extended pursuant to any exercised Renewal Term(s), or (iii) any sublease or
assignment to an Affiliate of Tenant, any corporation that acquires
substantially all of the assets of Tenant, any corporation into which Tenant is
merged and any corporation resulting from a consolidation of Tenant with some
other corporation.  Landlord shall have a period of fifteen (15) days
following receipt of a notice from Tenant of its intent to sublet or assign the
Recapture Space, to exercise Landlord's right to recapture the Recapture
Space.  Landlord shall exercise its right to recapture the Recapture
Space by providing written notice to Tenant prior to the expiration of the
aforesaid fifteen (15) day period.  If Tenant does not receive a
notice from Landlord exercising its recapture rights set forth herein within
such fifteen (15) day period, then Landlord shall be deemed to have waived
Landlord’s right to recapture the Recapture Space.  In the event
Landlord exercises its right to recapture the Recapture Space, Tenant shall have
a period of ninety (90) days (or the date upon which the assignment or sublet
was proposed to begin, whichever is greater) to surrender the Recapture Space to
Landlord in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section
21.1.  Upon Tenant’s surrender of the Premises, (i) Tenant shall be
released from its obligations under this Lease for the remainder of the Term
(including any exercised Renewal Term(s)) as they relate to the Recapture Space
only, including, without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent and
Tenant’s Pro-rata Share of High-Rise, Low-Rise and Revised Operating Expenses as
they relate to Recapture Space only, and (ii) Landlord shall pay all leasing
commissions, tenant improvement allowances and other costs associated with
re-leasing the Recapture Space and all costs associated with demising the
Recapture Space for separate occupancy.  Landlord shall be required to
separately demise the Recapture Space from the remainder of the Premises, if not
already separately demised, and shall accomplish same with minimal disturbance
to Tenant.  Landlord shall coordinate its activities with
Tenant.

    

    12.4         Landlord's Right to
Assign.  Landlord shall have the right to sell, encumber,
convey, transfer, and/or assign any of its rights and obligations under this
Lease to any entity which acquires Landlord’s interest in the Project and the
Property, subject to the further provisions of Exhibit K, which is
attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

    

    12.5         Occupancy By
Others.  Tenant may allow any person or company which is a
client of Tenant or which is providing services to Tenant or one of Tenant's
clients to occupy certain portions of the Premises without Landlord’s consent
and without such occupancy being deemed an assignment or subleasing as long as
such relationship was not created as a subterfuge to avoid the obligations set
forth in this Article 12.  Any such occupancy shall not survive the
expiration or termination of this Lease.

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        27

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    ARTICLE 13 -
INDEMNIFICATION; INSURANCE

    13.1         Indemnification.  Tenant
shall at its expense defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord and Landlord's agents,
contractors, licensees, employees, directors, officers, partners, trustees and
invitees (collectively “Landlord's Employees”) harmless from and against any and
all claims, arising out of or in connection with Tenant's use of the Premises,
the conduct of Tenant's business, any activity, work or things done, permitted
or allowed by Tenant in the Premises, including the installation of Alterations
and Tenant Improvements.  Notwithstanding any provisions of Articles
13 and 14 to the contrary, Tenant shall not be required to indemnify and hold
Landlord and Landlord's Employees harmless from any loss, cost, liability,
damage or expense, including, but not limited to, penalties, fines, attorneys'
fees or costs (collectively “Indemnity Claims”), to any person, property or
entity resulting from the acts or omissions or willful misconduct of Landlord or
its agents, contractors, servants, employees or licensees, in connection with
Landlord's activities in the Premises or the Project (except for damage to the
Tenant Improvements and Tenant's Personal Property in the Premises, to the
extent Tenant is required to obtain the requisite insurance coverage pursuant to
this Lease) or the Premises, and Landlord hereby so indemnifies and holds Tenant
harmless from any such Indemnity Claims, including but not limited to Indemnity
Claims arising from any noncompliance of the Premises and/or the Project with
any laws relating to disabled access or Indemnity Claims arising from the
presence in the Premises, the Building and/or the Property of hazardous
substances (except to the extent such hazardous substances were placed in or on
the Premises, the Building and/or the Property by Tenant or by Tenant's
Employees or noncompliance was created by the acts of Tenant or Tenant's
Employees).  Unless Tenant exercises any right herein granted to
Tenant to purchase the Building, the foregoing indemnities of Landlord and
Tenant shall survive the expiration of the Term of, or any termination of, this
Lease.  Provided, further, to the extent any damage or repair
obligation is covered or required to be covered by insurance obtained by
Landlord as part of High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating Expenses
and/or Revised Operating Expenses, but is not covered or required to be covered
by insurance obtained by Tenant, then Tenant shall be relieved of its indemnity
obligation up to the amount of the insurance proceeds which Landlord is entitled
to receive.  Tenant's agreement to indemnify and hold Landlord
harmless pursuant to Articles 13 and 14 and the exclusion from Tenant's
indemnity and Landlord's agreement to indemnify and hold Tenant harmless
pursuant to this Section 13.1 are not intended to and shall not relieve any
insurance carrier of its obligations under policies required to be carried by
Landlord or Tenant, respectively, pursuant to this Lease to the extent that such
policies cover the results of such acts, omissions or willful
misconduct.  If Landlord or Tenant has been or at any time hereafter
is granted the right to self insure or if either party breaches this agreement
by its failure to carry required insurance, such failure shall automatically be
deemed to be a covenant and agreement by Landlord or Tenant, respectively, to
self-insure to the full extent of such required coverage, with full waiver of
subrogation.  All of the provisions set forth herein are subject to
the provisions of Section 13.3.

    

    13.2      
  Insurance.

    

    
      	
            	
              (a)

            	
               Tenant's
      Insurance.  Tenant shall have the following insurance
      obligations:

            

    

    

    
      (i)
Liability
Insurance.  Tenant shall obtain and keep in full force a policy
of commercial general liability and property damage insurance (including but not
limited to automobile, personal injury, broad form contractual liability,
owner's (i.e., Tenant's) contractors protective and broad form property damage)
under which Tenant is named as the insured and Landlord, Landlord's agents
(limited to those agents directly involved in day to day activities at the
Building such as the property management company and/or leasing agent) and any
lessors and mortgagees (whose names shall have been furnished to Tenant) are
named as additional insureds and under which the insurer agrees to indemnify and
hold Landlord, its managing agent and all applicable lessors and mortgagees
harmless from and against all cost, expense and/or liability arising out of or
based upon the indemnification obligations of this Lease.  The minimum
limits of liability shall be a combined single limit with respect to each
occurrence of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00).  The
policy shall, if such is available on a commercially reasonable basis, contain a
cross liability endorsement and shall be primary coverage for Tenant and
Landlord for any liability arising out of Tenant's and Tenant's Employees' use,
occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and all areas appurtenant
thereto.  Such insurance shall provide that it is primary insurance
and not “excess over” or contributory.  The policy shall contain a
severability of interest clause.  At any time upon the request of a
mortgagee, or otherwise not more frequently than once in any three (3) Year
period, if, in the opinion of any mortgagee, Landlord's lender or of the
insurance consultant retained by Landlord, the amount of public liability and
property damage insurance coverage at that time is not adequate, Tenant shall
increase the insurance coverage as required by either Landlord’s lender or
Landlord's insurance consultant; provided however, that in no event shall any
such insurance coverage be increased in excess of that which is from time to
time being required by comparable landlords of comparable tenants leasing
comparable amounts of space in the Charlotte, North Carolina market
area.

    

    
      
         

      

      
        28

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    
      (ii)
Tenant's Property
Insurance.  Tenant at its cost shall maintain on all of its
Personal Property in, on, or about the Premises, a special form property policy
covering not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost
valuation under which Tenant is named as the insured but subject to such
deductibles as Tenant shall deem appropriate.  The proceeds from any
such policy shall be used by Tenant for the replacement of such Personal
Property.

    

    

    
      (iii)
Tenant’s Right to Self
Insure.  For so long as Tenant is Bank of America, N.A. or a
successor or Affiliate of Bank of America, N.A., Tenant shall have the right to
self-insure the above obligations.

    

    

    
      (b)          
Landlord's
Insurance.  Landlord shall have the following
obligations:

    

    

    Landlord shall obtain and maintain in
effect at all times fire and hazard “all risk” insurance covering one hundred
percent (100%) of the full replacement cost valuation of the Building, the
Tenant Improvements, and the Alterations, subject to commercially reasonable
deductibles, in the event of fire, lightning, windstorm, vandalism, malicious
mischief and all other risks normally covered by “all risk” policies carried by
landlords of first class buildings in the Charlotte, North Carolina market
area.  Landlord shall also obtain and keep in full force (i) a policy
of commercial general liability and property damage insurance covering the same
risks and having the same policy limits as set forth in Section 13.2(a)(i)
above; (ii) workers' compensation insurance in accordance with Applicable Laws
and Employer’s Liability insurance in amounts and with deductibles comparable to
the insurance being carried by landlords of first class buildings in the
Charlotte, North Carolina market area; and (iii) rental income/loss
insurance.

    

    (c)           Insurance
Criteria.  All the insurance required to be maintained by
Tenant and Landlord under this Lease shall:

    

    
      (i)           
Be
issued by insurance companies with a financial rating of at least A-VII for any
property insurance and A-VII for any liability insurance as rated in the most
recent edition of Best's Insurance Reports, except to the extent Tenant is
permitted to self-insure hereunder;

       

      (ii)          
Be
issued as a primary policy;

       

      (iii)          Require
thirty (30) days' written notice from the insurance company to both parties and
to Landlord's lender before cancellation or any material change in the coverage,
scope or amount of any policy;

       

      (iv)          With
respect to property loss or damage, a waiver of subrogation must be obtained, as
required by Section 13.4; and

    

    
      
         

      

      
        29

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    (v)        
   Be occurrence based coverage.

    

    Notwithstanding the foregoing, all of
the insurance requirements set forth herein on the part of Tenant or Landlord to
be observed shall be deemed satisfied if the risk to be insured is covered by a
blanket insurance policy insuring all or most of Tenant's or Landlord's
facilities, and provided that the coverage attributable to the Premises and the
Building under such blanket insurance policy equals or exceeds the applicable
requirements set forth in this Lease.

    

    (vii)          Evidence of
Coverage.  Landlord and Tenant shall each furnish the other
with a duplicate original policy, or a certificate of the policy, at the Full
Occupancy Date, and on renewal of the policy a certificate of insurance listing
the insurance coverages required hereunder and naming Landlord or Tenant, as
appropriate, and any other interested parties as additional insured and shall
deliver such certificate of insurance to Landlord or Tenant, as appropriate, not
less than twenty-one (21) days before the expiration of the term of the
policy.

    

    13.3    Assumption of Risk/Waivers
of Subrogation/ Minimization of Duplication of Insurance Coverage/Limitations on
Liability and Damages.

    

    (a)           Purpose.  The
purpose of this provision is to allow Landlord and Tenant to allocate and assume
certain risks to coincide with insurance coverages required to be maintained
pursuant to the terms of this Lease.  Landlord and Tenant recognize
the benefit that each will receive from the waivers of subrogation each is
required to obtain pursuant to this Section 13.3 and Section 13.4 below and that
there are significant advantages to each in connection with minimizing
duplication of insurance coverage.  Landlord and Tenant further agree
to accept and place certain limitations on each other's respective liabilities
and responsibility for damages to coincide with required insurance
coverages.

    

    (b)           Property
Insurance.  Landlord agrees to insure in accordance with
Section 13.2 the Building, the Project, the Tenant Improvements, the Alterations
and Landlord's personal property including its business papers, furniture,
fixtures, and equipment (collectively, “Landlord's
Property”).  Accordingly, Landlord agrees that except with respect to
any environmental damages caused by Tenant to the Project or any portion(s)
thereof, Tenant will have no liability to Landlord in the event that Tenant
damages or destroys, negligently or otherwise, all or any part of Landlord's
Property.  Landlord will cause to be placed in its insurance policies
covering Landlord's Property a waiver of subrogation so that its insurance
company will not become subrogated to Landlord's rights and will not be able to
proceed against Tenant in connection with any such damage or
destruction.

    

    Tenant agrees to insure in accordance
with Section 13.2 Tenant's Personal Property including its business papers,
furniture, fixtures, and equipment (collectively, “Tenant's
Property”).  Accordingly, Tenant agrees that Landlord will have no
liability to Tenant in the event Landlord damages or destroys, negligently or
otherwise, all or any part of Tenant's Property.  Tenant will cause to
be placed in its insurance policies covering Tenant's Property a waiver of
subrogation so that the insurance company will not become subrogated to Tenant's
rights and will not be able to proceed against Landlord in connection with any
such damage or destruction.

    
      
         

      

      
        30

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Tenant shall not be responsible or
liable to Landlord for any damage or destruction to Landlord's Property caused
by Tenant's employees, agents, visitors, invitees, guests or independent
contractors or subcontractors (collectively, “Tenant's Associates”), and
Landlord hereby releases Tenant from any claim, demands, losses, damages,
consequential damages, and the like (collectively, “Claims”), resulting from
damage or destruction to Landlord's Property caused directly or indirectly by
Tenant and/or Tenant's Associates; provided, however, nothing herein shall be
deemed to release Tenant's independent contractors from any such Claims Landlord
may have against Tenant's independent contractors.  Likewise, Landlord
shall not be responsible or liable to Tenant for any damages or destruction to
Tenant's Property caused by Landlord's employees, agents, visitors, invitees,
guests or independent contractors or subcontractors (collectively, “Landlord's
Associates”), and Tenant hereby releases Landlord from any Claims resulting from
damage or destruction to Tenant's Property caused directly or indirectly by
Landlord and/or Landlord's Associates; provided, however, nothing herein shall
be deemed to release Landlord's independent contractors from any such Claims
Tenant may have against Landlord's independent contractors.

    

    (c)           Injury and Death to
Individuals.  Landlord and Tenant understand that waivers of
subrogation do not apply to injury and death to individuals.  Landlord
and Tenant shall each carry insurance, as provided by this Article 13, in
connection with injury and death to individuals.  Landlord hereby
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Tenant from any liability which Tenant may
otherwise have with respect to injury or death to individuals occurring within
the Project but outside the Premises except to the extent that such injury or
death is caused by the negligence of Tenant and/or Tenant's Associates and is
not covered by the insurance Landlord is required to carry under this
Lease.  Likewise, Tenant agrees to defend and hold harmless Landlord
from any liability for injury or death to persons occurring within the Premises
except to the extent such injuries or death are caused by the negligence of
Landlord and/or Landlord's Associates and is not covered by the insurance Tenant
is required to carry under this Lease.

    

    (d)           Abatement of Rent When
Tenant Is Prevented From Using Premises.  In the event that
Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion
thereof, for three (3) consecutive business days or ten (10) business days in
any twelve (12) month period (the “Eligibility Period”) as a result of (i) any
damage or destruction to the Premises, Parking Garage, Ivey’s Parking Deck
and/or the Project, (ii) any repair, maintenance or alteration performed or to
be performed by Landlord and required by this Lease, the performance or failure
to perform of which substantially interferes with Tenant's use of the Premises,
Parking Garage, Ivey’s Parking Deck and/or the Project, (iii) any failure by
Landlord to provide Tenant with services or access to the Premises, Parking
Garage, Ivey’s Parking Deck and/or the Project, (iv) because of an eminent
domain proceeding or (v) because of the presence of hazardous substances in, on
or around the Premises, the Building or the Property, then Tenant's Rent shall
be abated or reduced, as the case may be, after expiration of the Eligibility
Period for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and
does not use, the Premises  or the Parking Garage and/or Ivey’s
Parking Deck or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable area of
the portion of the Premises, Parking Garage and/or Ivey’s Parking Deck that
Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable
area of the Premises and/or the total parking spaces in the Parking Garage
and/or Ivey’s Parking Deck.  However, in the event that Tenant is
prevented from conducting, and does not conduct, its business in any portion of
the Premises for a period of time in excess of the Eligibility Period, and the
remaining portion of the Premises is not sufficient to allow Tenant to
effectively conduct its business therein, and if Tenant does not conduct its
business from such remaining portion, then for such time after expiration of the
Eligibility Period during which Tenant is so prevented from effectively
conducting its business therein, the Rent for the entire Premises shall be
abated; provided, however, if Tenant reoccupies and conducts its business from
any portion of the Premises during such period, the Rent allocable to such
reoccupied portion, based on the proportion that the rentable area of such
reoccupied portion of the Premises bears to the total rentable area of the
Premises, shall be payable by Tenant from the date such business operations
commence.  If Tenant's right to abatement occurs because of an eminent
domain taking and/or because of damage or destruction to the Premises, Parking
Garage, Ivey’s Parking Deck, or the Project, Tenant's abatement period shall
continue until Tenant has been given sufficient time, and sufficient access to
the Premises, Parking Garage, Ivey’s Parking Deck and/or the Project, to rebuild
such portion it is required to rebuild, to install its property, furniture,
fixtures, and equipment to the extent the same shall have been removed as a
result of such damage or destruction and to move in.  To the extent
Tenant is entitled to abatement without regard to the Eligibility Period,
because of an event covered by Articles 14 [Damage or Destruction] and 15
[Eminent Domain] of this Lease, then the Eligibility Period shall not be
applicable.

    
      
         

      

      
        31

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    (e)           Limitation of Liability and
Damages.  Landlord agrees that in the event of a default by
Tenant under this Lease, Landlord will not have a right to collect from Tenant a
greater amount of Rent than Landlord would have been able to collect in the
event that Tenant did not default under this Lease.  Landlord further
agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages
in connection with any default by Tenant.  Nothing herein shall be
construed to prevent Tenant or Landlord, if it is the prevailing party in
connection with any litigation, dispute, or controversy between Landlord and
Tenant, from collecting, and each agrees that under such circumstances the other
shall have a right to collect and shall be awarded, (a) its reasonable
attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses incurred in connection with any such
litigation, dispute, or controversy and (b) interest, at the Contract Rate, on
any amounts not paid when due.  Landlord's liability to Tenant is
limited to Landlord's equity interest in the Building.

    

    13.4         Allocation of Insured
Risks/Subrogation.  Landlord and Tenant release each other and
all other tenants or subtenants of the Project (“Other Occupants”) from any
claims and demands of whatever nature for damage, loss or injury to the Premises
and/or the Project, or to the other's property in, on or about the Premises
and/or the Project, that are caused by or result from risks or perils insured
against under any property insurance policies required by this Lease or, if
applicable, other leases in the Building to be carried by Landlord and/or Tenant
and in force at the time of any such damage, loss or injury.  Landlord
and Tenant shall cause each property insurance policy obtained by them or either
of them, and Landlord (or Tenant, with respect to Other Occupants claiming by or
through Tenant) shall cause the property insurance policies carried by Other
Occupants, to provide that the insurance company waives all right of recovery by
way of subrogation against either Landlord or Tenant in connection with any
damage covered by any such policy or policies.  Neither Landlord nor
Tenant nor Other Occupants shall be liable to the other for any damage caused by
fire or any of the risks insured against under any property insurance policy
required by this Lease, provided such insurance is in force and the proceeds
therefrom are paid.  If a property insurance policy cannot be obtained
with a waiver of subrogation, or is obtainable only by the payment of an
additional premium charge above that charged by insurance companies issuing
property policies without waiver of subrogation, the party undertaking to obtain
the property insurance (or the Landlord with respect to Other Occupants) shall
notify the other party of this fact.  The other party shall have a
period of ten (10) days after receiving the notice either to place the property
insurance with a company that is reasonably satisfactory to the other party and
that will carry the property insurance with a waiver of subrogation at no
additional cost, or to agree to pay the additional premium if such a policy is
obtainable at additional cost.  If the property insurance cannot be
obtained or the party in whose favor a waiver of subrogation is desired refuses
to pay the additional premium charged, the other party (or the Landlord with
respect to Other Occupants) is relieved of the obligation to obtain a waiver of
subrogation with respect to the particular property insurance involved, and all
releases and waivers herein contained are null and void to the extent
thereof.

    13.5         Landlord Bankruptcy
Proceeding.  In the event that the obligations of Landlord
under this Lease are not performed during the pendency of a bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding involving the Landlord as the debtor, or following the
rejection of this Lease in accordance with Section 365 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code, then notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the
contrary, Tenant shall have the right to set off against Rents next due and
owing under this Lease (a)any and all damages caused by such non-performance of
Landlord's obligations under this Lease by Landlord, debtor-in-possession, or
the bankruptcy trustee, and (b) any and all damages caused by the
non-performance of Landlord's obligations under this Lease following any
rejection of this Lease in accordance with Section 365 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code.

    

    ARTICLE 14 - DAMAGE OR
DESTRUCTION

    

    14.1         Loss Covered By
Insurance.  If, at any time prior to the expiration or
termination of this Lease, the Premises or the Building or the Project is wholly
or partially damaged or destroyed by a casualty, the loss to Landlord from which
is (except for any applicable deductible) fully covered by insurance maintained
by Landlord or for Landlord's benefit (or required to be maintained by Landlord
pursuant to Section 13.2(b)), which casualty renders the Premises or the Project
totally or partially inaccessible or unusable by Tenant in the ordinary conduct
of Tenant's business, then this Lease shall not be terminated, but Landlord
shall cause the Premises and the rest of the Project to be restored to their
condition immediately prior to such casualty, and Tenant shall be responsible
for the restoration and/or replacement of Tenant's Property.  Each
party shall commence such obligations within a reasonable period of time
following such casualty, considering the applicable circumstances, and shall
prosecute same to completion in good faith and with duly diligent
efforts.  During the period of such repair, the Rent shall abate or
(if the Premises are not wholly untenantable) be reduced proportionately with
the percentage of the Premises or the Project that is untenantable.

    

    14.2         Loss Not Covered By
Insurance.  If, at any time prior to the expiration or
termination of this Lease, the Premises or the Project is totally or partially
damaged or destroyed from a casualty, the loss to Landlord from which is not
fully covered by insurance maintained by Landlord or for Landlord's benefit or
required to be maintained by Landlord pursuant to Section 13.2(b), which damage
renders the Premises inaccessible or unusable to Tenant in the ordinary course
of its business, Landlord may, at its option, upon written notice to Tenant
within sixty (60) days after notice to Landlord of the occurrence of such damage
or destruction, (a) elect to repair or restore such damage or destruction, or
(b) if (i) the uninsured portion of the damage or destruction is equal to or
greater than Twenty Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00) and (ii)
less than two (2) Years remain under Tenant’s primary Lease Term, and (iii)
Tenant has not elected to exercise the next ensuing Renewal Term, then Landlord
may elect to terminate this Lease.  If Landlord has elected to repair
or restore such damage or destruction, Landlord shall commence to make such
repair as soon as reasonably possible and shall complete such repair as soon as
reasonably possible, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect but
the Rent, if and to the extent applicable, shall be proportionately reduced as
provided in Section 14.1.

    

    14.3         Destruction During Final Two
Years.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Sections 14.1 and 14.2, if the Premises or the Project is wholly damaged or
destroyed or if the Premises or the Project is partially damaged or destroyed
within the final twenty-four (24) months of the Term of this Lease, or, if an
applicable renewal option has been exercised, during the final twenty-four (24)
months of any renewal term, so that Tenant shall be prevented from using
substantially all of the Premises or the Project for one hundred eighty (180)
consecutive days due to such damage or destruction, then either Landlord or
Tenant may, at its option, by notice to the other party within sixty (60) days
after the occurrence of such damage or destruction, elect to terminate this
Lease.

    
      
         

      

      
        33

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    14.4         Destruction of Tenant's
Personal Property, Tenant Improvements or Property of Tenant's
Employees.  In the event of any damage to or destruction of the
Premises or the Project, under no circumstances shall Landlord be required to
repair any injury, or damage to, or make any repairs to or replacements of,
Tenant's Personal Property.  However, as part of High-Rise Operating
Expenses, Low-Rise Operating Expenses and/or Revised Operating Expenses,
Landlord shall cause to be insured the Tenant Improvements and Alterations which
do not consist of Tenant's Personal Property and shall cause such Tenant
Improvements and Alterations to be repaired and restored at Landlord's sole
expense.  Landlord shall have no responsibility for any contents
placed or kept in or on the Premises or the Project by Tenant or Tenant's
Employees.

    

    14.5         Exclusive
Remedy.  Except for abatement of Rent as provided in Section
13.3(d), no damages, compensation or claim shall be payable by Landlord or
Tenant to the other for any inconvenience, any interruption or cessation of
Landlord's or Tenant's business, or any annoyance, arising from any damage to or
destruction of all or any portion of the Premises, Parking Garage, Ivey’s
Parking Deck or the Project.

    

    ARTICLE 15 - EMINENT
DOMAIN

    

    15.1         Permanent Taking - When
Lease Can Be Terminated.  If the whole of the Premises, or so
much of the Premises or Project as to render the balance unusable by Tenant,
shall be taken under the power of eminent domain, this Lease shall automatically
terminate as of the date of final judgment in such condemnation, or as of the
date possession is taken by the condemning authority, whichever is
earlier.  A sale by Landlord under threat of condemnation shall
constitute a “taking” for the purpose of this Article 15.  No award
for any partial or entire taking shall be apportioned and Tenant assigns to
Landlord any award which may be made in such taking or condemnation, together
with all rights of Tenant to such award, including, without limitation, any
award or compensation for the value of all or any part of the leasehold estate;
provided that nothing contained in this Article 15 shall be deemed to give
Landlord any interest in or to require Tenant to assign to Landlord any award
made to Tenant for (a) the taking of Tenant's Personal Property, (b)
interruption of or damage to Tenant's business, or (c) Tenant's unamortized cost
of the Tenant Improvements to the extent paid for by
Tenant.  Furthermore, Tenant is granted the right to recover from the
condemning authority one hundred percent(100%) (less applicable legal costs
related to the recovery of same) of the value (if any) of the leasehold estate,
which shall be equal to the difference between the rental rate payable under
this Lease and the rate established by the condemning authority as an award for
compensation purposes, together with any amount Tenant is able to obtain from
the condemning authority attributable to Tenant's relocation expenses and to any
other amounts specifically allocated or available to owners of leasehold estates
under Applicable Laws.  Further, no such taking of all or any portion
of the Parking Garage and/or Ivey’s Parking Deck shall entitle Tenant to
terminate this Lease, if Landlord provides reasonable replacement parking within
a reasonable period of time, not to exceed three (3) months from the date of
taking or six (6) months after Landlord receives notice of the pending taking,
whichever shall first occur.

    

    15.2         Permanent Taking - When
Lease Cannot Be Terminated.  In the event of a partial taking
which does not result in a termination of this Lease under Section 15.1, Rent
shall be proportionately reduced based on the portion of the Premises rendered
unusable, and Landlord shall restore the Premises and the Project to the extent
of available condemnation proceeds.

    

    15.3         Temporary
Taking.  No temporary taking of the Premises or the Project any
part of the Premises or the Project and/or of Tenant's rights to the Premises or
the Project or under this Lease shall terminate this Lease unless the temporary
taking is for substantially all of the Premises for substantially all of the
remaining Term (including any exercised Renewal Term), in which case Tenant
shall have the right to terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Premises
so taken, as of the effective date of such taking.  Any award made to
Landlord or Tenant by reason of such temporary taking shall belong entirely to
the party to whom such award is made.

    
      
         

      

      
        34

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    15.4         Exclusive
Remedy.  This Article 15 shall be Tenant's sole and exclusive
remedy in the event of a taking or condemnation.

    

    15.5         Release Upon
Termination.  Upon termination of this Lease pursuant to this
Article 15, Tenant and Landlord hereby agree to release each other from any and
all obligations and liabilities with respect to this Lease to the same extent as
if this Lease had expired on the date of such termination, except for such
obligations and liabilities which arise or accrue prior to such termination, and
except for any contingent obligations of the parties which, pursuant to the
other terms of this Lease, would have survived the expiration or termination
hereof.

    

    ARTICLE 16 -
DEFAULTS

    

    16.1         Default by
Tenant.  Each of the following shall be an “Event of Default”
by Tenant and a material breach of this Lease:

    

    (a)           Tenant
shall fail to make any payment owed by Tenant under this Lease, as and when due,
and where such failure is not cured within a period of twenty (20) days
following notice to Tenant from Landlord.

    

    (b)           Tenant
shall fail to observe, keep or perform any of the terms, covenants, agreements
or conditions under this Lease that Tenant is obligated to observe or perform,
other than that described in subparagraph (a) above, for a period of thirty (30)
days after notice to Tenant of said failure; provided however, that if the
nature of Tenant's default is such that more than thirty (30) days are
reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in
default under this Lease if Tenant shall commence the cure of such default so
specified within said thirty (30) day period and shall diligently prosecute the
same to completion.

    

    16.2         Default by
Landlord.  Landlord shall be in default of the performance of
any obligation required to be performed by Landlord under this Lease if Landlord
has failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after the receipt
of notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlord's failure to perform;
provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligation is such that more
than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, Landlord shall not be
deemed in default if it shall commence such performance within thirty (30) days
and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion.

    

    16.3         Self-Help.  If
Landlord shall default in the performance of any of Landlord’s obligations under
this Lease beyond any applicable cure period, including, without limitation, the
payment of any sum of money or the performance of any other obligation pursuant
to the terms of this Lease, then Tenant at its option and with thirty (30) days
prior written notice to Landlord, in addition to any other remedies Tenant may
have in law or equity, may proceed to perform such defaulted obligation on
behalf of Landlord (and shall have a license to do so) by the payment of money
or other action for the account of Landlord.  The foregoing right to
cure shall not be exercised if within the thirty (30) day notice period (i)
Landlord cures the default, or (ii) if curable, the default cannot be reasonably
cured within that time period but Landlord begins to cure such default within
such time period and thereafter diligently and continuously pursues such action
to completion.  The thirty (30) day notice period shall not be
required if an emergency exists; and in such event, Tenant shall give such
notice (if any) to Landlord as is reasonable under the
circumstances.  Within ten (10) days of written demand therefore
(including providing copies of invoices reflecting costs), Landlord shall
reimburse the Tenant for any sum reasonably expended by Tenant due to the
default or in correcting the same and, if such reimbursement is not paid within
said ten (10) days, Tenant shall have the right to offset Rent due
hereunder; provided, however, that Tenant shall not offset more than $200,000.00
in any Calendar Year.  This provision is intended to survive and/or
override any existing bankruptcy laws to the extent legally
enforceable.

    ARTICLE 17 - LANDLORD'S
REMEDIES AND RIGHTS

    

    17.1         Termination of
Lease.  In the event of any material uncured Event of Default
by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right, in addition to all other rights
available to Landlord under this Lease now or later permitted by law or equity,
to terminate this Lease by providing Tenant with a notice of termination or, at
Landlord's election, to terminate Tenant's right of possession without
terminating this Lease.  Upon termination of this Lease, Landlord may
recover as damages the Rent that Landlord would have received had Tenant not
defaulted, plus attorney fees and court costs, reasonably incurred by Landlord
to collect same.  Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable
efforts to mitigate damages.  In no event shall Tenant be liable for
consequential damages or accelerated Rent.

    

    17.2         Continuation of
Lease.  Tenant acknowledges that in the event Tenant has
breached this Lease and abandoned substantially all of the Premises, this Lease
shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate this Lease
[which Landlord shall not be required to do, or be deemed to have done without
unequivocal written notification to Tenant of such election, even though
Landlord may have terminated Tenant's right to possession (which will
correspondingly terminate Tenant's right to Sublease and/or assign but will not
invalidate any Subleases or assignments consented or deemed consented to by
Landlord in accordance with the provisions of Article 12 or any subordination,
attornment and non-disturbance agreement that Landlord has provided for the
benefit of any subtenant)], and Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies
under this Lease, including the right to recover Rent as it becomes due under
this Lease.  Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet
(including reletting) the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon
initiative of Landlord to protect Landlord's interest under this Lease shall not
constitute a termination of this Lease.

    

    17.3         Right of
Entry.  In the event of any default by Tenant which continues
beyond applicable cure periods and after the provision of written notice from
Landlord to Tenant, Landlord shall also have the right, with or without
terminating this Lease, to enter the Premises and remove all persons and
Personal Property from the Premises, such property being removed and stored in a
public warehouse or elsewhere at Tenant's sole cost and expense.  No
removal by Landlord of any persons or property in the Premises shall constitute
an election to terminate this Lease. Such an election to terminate may only be
made by Landlord in writing.  Landlord's right of entry shall include
the right to re-let the Premises.  Rents collected by Landlord from
any other tenant which occupies the Premises shall be offset against the amounts
owed to Landlord by Tenant.  Tenant shall be responsible for any
amounts not recovered by Landlord from any other tenant.  Any payments
made by Tenant shall be credited to the amounts owed by Tenant, first to past
due interest and late charges and penalties then to past due Rent, and lastly to
current Rent.  No entry by Landlord shall prevent Landlord from later
terminating this Lease by written notice.

    

    17.4         Right to
Perform.  If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord may perform
such covenant or condition at its option, after providing written notice to
Tenant and after expiration of the cure periods provided by this
Lease.  All costs reasonably incurred by Landlord in so performing
shall immediately be reimbursed to Landlord by Tenant, together with interest at
the Contract Rate computed from the date incurred by Landlord.  Any
performance by Landlord of Tenant's obligations shall not waive or cure such
default.

    

    17.5         Remedies Not
Exclusive.  The rights and remedies of Landlord and Tenant set
forth herein are not exclusive, and Landlord and Tenant may exercise any other
right or remedy available to it under this Lease, at law or in equity except as
otherwise expressly set forth herein.

    ARTICLE 18 - ATTORNEYS'
FEES

     

    If either Landlord or Tenant commences
or engages in, or threatens to commence or engage in, any action or litigation
or arbitration against the other party arising out of or in connection with this
Lease, the Premises or the Project, including but not limited to, any action for
recovery of any payment owed by either party under this Lease, or to recover
possession of the Premises, or for damages for breach of this Lease, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to have and recover from the losing party
reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in connection with the
action and in preparation for said action.  Notwithstanding the above,
the provisions of this Article shall not apply to any dispute referred to
“binding” arbitration.

    

    ARTICLE 19 - SUBORDINATION,
ATTORNMENT AND NON-DISTURBANCE

    

    19.1         Obligations of
Tenant.  The Lease and the rights granted to Tenant by the
Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all deeds of trust or mortgages
affecting or encumbering all or any part of the Project; provided however, that
if Landlord elects at any time to have Tenant's interest in the Lease be or
become superior, senior or prior to any such instrument, then upon receipt by
Tenant of written notice of such election, Tenant shall promptly execute all
necessary and reasonable subordination instruments or other documents confirming
the subordination of such mortgage or deed of trust.

    

    19.2         Obligations of
Landlord.  This Lease shall be subject to and conditioned upon
Landlord delivering to Tenant, no later than thirty (30) days from the date of
full execution of this Lease, a commercially reasonable nondisturbance agreement
in favor of Tenant from any mortgagee, trustee or beneficiary under any prior
mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Building.

    

    19.3         Landlord's Right to
Assign.  Landlord's interest in this Lease may be assigned to
any mortgagee or trust deed beneficiary as additional
security.  Nothing in this Lease shall empower Tenant to do any act
without Landlord's prior consent which can, shall or may encumber the title of
the owner of all or any part of the Project or the Property.

    

    19.4         Attornment by
Tenant.  In the event of the cancellation or termination of any
or all ground or underlying leases affecting all or any part of the Project or
the Property in accordance with its terms or by the surrender thereof, whether
voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, or by summary proceedings, or in
the event of any foreclosure of any or all mortgages or deeds of trust
encumbering the Project or the Property by trustee's sale, voluntary agreement,
deed in lieu of foreclosure, or by the commencement of any judicial action
seeking foreclosure, Tenant, at the request of the then landlord under this
Lease, shall attorn to and recognize (a) the ground or underlying lessor, under
the ground or underlying lease being terminated or canceled, and (b) the
beneficiary or purchaser at the foreclosure sale, as Tenant's landlord under
this Lease, and Tenant agrees to execute and deliver at any time upon request of
such ground or underlying lessor, beneficiary, purchaser, or their successors,
any instrument to further evidence such attornment.  Tenant hereby
waives its right, if any, to elect to terminate this Lease or to surrender
possession of the Premises in the event of any such ground or underlying lease
cancellation or termination or mortgage or deed of trust
foreclosure.

    

    19.5         Non-Disturbance.  Notwithstanding
any of the provisions of this Article 19 to the contrary, Tenant shall be
allowed to occupy the Premises or portions thereof, subject to the conditions of
this Lease, and this Lease shall remain in effect, until an Event of Default
occurs, or until Tenant's rights are modified because of an applicable eminent
domain proceeding pursuant to Article 15, or because of the occurrence of
applicable damage and destruction pursuant to Article 14.  Landlord
agrees to cause the lender(s) to which Tenant will or has subordinated to
provide a non-disturbance agreement in commercially reasonable
form.   No later than twenty (20) days after the date of full
execution of this Lease, Landlord agrees to provide to Tenant fully executed
commercially reasonable recognition and non-disturbance agreements from all
present Property and Building mortgagees, deed of trust holders and/or superior
lessors.

    ARTICLE 20 -
RESERVED

    

    ARTICLE 21 - HOLDING
OVER

    

    21.1         Surrender of
Possession.  Tenant shall surrender, subject to the provisions
of Section 21.2 below, possession of the Premises immediately upon the
expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease.  If
Tenant shall continue to occupy or possess the Premises after such expiration or
termination without the consent of Landlord, then unless Landlord and Tenant
have otherwise agreed in writing, Tenant shall be a tenant from
month-to-month.  All the terms, provisions and conditions of this
Lease shall apply to this month-to-month tenancy except that the monthly Base
Rent shall be as set forth in Section 21.2.

    

    21.2         Tenant's Right to Hold
Over.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
above, Tenant shall have the right, upon the expiration of the original Term or
any Renewal Term, by giving written notice of such election to Landlord not less
than seven (7) months prior to the expiration of the original Term or any
Renewal Term, to hold over in the Premises (or any portion thereof) for a period
not to exceed eighteen (18) months (the “Extended Term”) upon the same terms and
conditions that were applicable to the Premises during the last month of the
Term of this Lease.  In the event Tenant continues to occupy all or
any portion of the Premises beyond the Extended Term, Tenant shall pay Base Rent
for the first ninety (90) days of such hold over period at a rate equal to one
hundred fifty percent (150%) of the then prevailing monthly rental rate in
effect as of the date of the expiration of the Extended Term and Landlord shall
have no right to any consequential damages.  From and after the
ninety-first (91st) day
after the expiration of the Extended Term, Tenant shall continue to pay Base
Rent for the hold over period equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the
monthly rental rate in effect as of the expiration of the Extended Term,
however, Landlord shall have the right to bring an action against Tenant for
consequential damages resulting from Tenant’s failure to vacate the
Premises.  In the event that Tenant holds over in the Premises (or any
portion thereof) pursuant to this provision, Tenant shall have the right to
terminate its tenancy, prior to the expiration of the Extended Term, on not less
than thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Landlord.

    

    ARTICLE 22 - INSPECTIONS AND
ACCESS

    

    22.1         Entry by
Landlord.  Upon reasonable prior notice except in case of
emergency or upon the requirement of any applicable governmental authority
(e.g., surprise inspection) or to supply normal and regular janitorial or
security services, in any of which events no such notice shall be required,
Landlord may enter the Premises at all reasonable hours for any reasonable
purpose when accompanied by an authorized representative of
Tenant.  If Tenant shall not be personally present to open and permit
an entry into the Premises at any time when such entry by Landlord is necessary
due to a bona fide emergency, Landlord may enter by means of a master key
without liability to Tenant except for any failure to exercise due care for
Tenant's Personal Property, and without affecting this Lease.  In any
event, any such entry shall be accomplished as expeditiously as reasonably
possible and in a manner so as to cause as little interference to Tenant as
reasonably possible.

    

    22.2         Secured
Areas.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
above, Tenant may designate certain areas of the Premises as “Secured Areas”
should Tenant require such areas for the purpose of securing certain valuable
property or confidential information.  Landlord may not enter such
Secured Areas except in the case of emergency or in the event of a Landlord
inspection, in which case Landlord shall provide Tenant with ten (10) days'
prior written notice of the specific date and time of such Landlord
inspection.

    ARTICLE 23 - NAME OF
PROJECT

    

    As of the date of full execution of
this Lease, the name of the Building is “One Independence Center” and/or “101
Independence Center.”  Landlord shall not change the name of the
Building without the prior written consent of Tenant.   In the
event Tenant consents to a change in the name of the Building, such name change
shall be at Landlord’s sole cost and expense and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant
for reasonable and verified costs of replacing Tenant's stationery and business
cards.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may Landlord elect
to re-name the Building after another financial institution or competitor of
Tenant.  Costs for changes in the name of the Building shall not be
included among High-Rise Operating Expenses, Low-Rise Operating Expenses or
Revised Operating Expenses.

    

    ARTICLE 24 - SURRENDER OF
LEASE

    

    The voluntary or other surrender of
this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation of this Lease, shall not work a
merger, and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing
subleases or subtenancies, or may, at the option of Landlord, operate as an
assignment to it of Tenant's interest in any or all such subleases or
subtenancies.  Provided, however, that any sublease specifically
consented to by Landlord or deemed consented to by Landlord in accordance with
Article 12 hereof shall survive and be automatically assigned to Landlord as the
prime Landlord thereunder.

    

    ARTICLE 25 -
WAIVER

    

    The waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any
term, covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Lease shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or of any other term,
covenant, agreement, condition or provision of this Lease, nor shall any custom
or practice which may develop between the parties in the administration of this
Lease be construed to waive or lessen the right of Landlord or Tenant to insist
upon the performance by the other in strict accordance with all of the terms,
covenants, agreements, conditions, and provisions of this Lease.  The
subsequent acceptance by Landlord of any payment owed by Tenant to Landlord
under this Lease, or the payment of Rent by Tenant, shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant, agreement,
condition or provision of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to make
the specific payment so accepted by Landlord, regardless of Landlord's or
Tenant's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of the making or
acceptance of such payment.

    

    ARTICLE 26 - SALE BY
LANDLORD

    

    In the event Landlord shall sell,
assign, convey or transfer all of its interest in the Project and/or the
Property, Tenant agrees to attorn to such transferee, assignee or new Landlord,
and upon consummation of such sale, conveyance or transfer, Landlord shall
automatically be freed and relieved from all liability and obligations accruing
or to be performed from and after the date of such sale, transfer, or
conveyance.

    

    ARTICLE 27 - NO LIGHT AND
AIR EASEMENT

    

    Any diminution or shutting off of light
or air by any structure which may be erected on lands adjacent to or in the
vicinity of the Building, Parking Garage or Ivey’s Parking Deck shall not affect
this Lease, abate any payment owed by Tenant under this Lease or otherwise
impose any liability on Landlord.

    ARTICLE 28 - FORCE
MAJEURE

    

    Any prevention, delay or stoppage
caused by fire, earthquake, explosion, flood, hurricane, the elements, or any
other similar cause beyond the reasonable control of the party from whom
performance is required, or any of their contractors; acts of God or the public
enemy; actions, restrictions, limitations or interference of governmental
authorities or agents; war, invasion, insurrection, rebellion; riots; strikes or
lockouts, or inability to obtain necessary materials, goods, equipment,
services, utilities or labor shall excuse the performance of such party for a
period equal to the duration of such prevention, delay or stoppage; provided,
however, in no event shall financial incapability excuse the performance of
either party.

    

    ARTICLE 29 - ESTOPPEL
CERTIFICATES

    

    Each party shall, at any time and from
time to time upon request of the other party, within thirty (30) days following
notice of such request from the requesting party, execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the requesting party a certificate (the “Estoppel Certificate”) in
writing in the form of the attached Exhibit J or in such
commercially reasonable form as Landlord or Tenant or any of their respective
lenders, prospective purchasers, lien holders, assignees or subtenants may deem
appropriate; provided, however, if the Estoppel Certificate requests information
different than that being requested in the form of the attached Exhibit J, then (a)
the certifying party shall have forty-five (45) days rather than the thirty (30)
days set forth above in order to execute, acknowledge and deliver such Estoppel
Certificate and (b) the requesting party shall reimburse the certifying party
for all actual, reasonable and documented costs [including without limitation
attorneys' fees in an amount of up to Two Hundred Fifty and 00/100 Dollars
($250.00) per request] incurred by the certifying party in connection with the
execution, acknowledgment and delivery of such Estoppel
Certificate.  For purposes of this Article 29, an Estoppel Certificate
shall not be deemed to be commercially reasonable if it amends or modifies any
of the provisions of this Lease or attempts to clarify them.  If the
certifying party fails to deliver the Estoppel Certificate within such thirty
(30) or forty-five (45) day period, as the case may be, the requesting party
shall so notify the certifying party and, if the certifying party does not
deliver the Estoppel Certificate within three (3) business days thereafter, the
certifying party's failure to do so shall automatically be deemed to establish
conclusively that this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been
modified except as may be represented by the requesting party, but shall not be
deemed to have cured any default under this Lease by the party failing to
provide the Estoppel Certificate.

    

    ARTICLE 30 - RIGHT TO
PERFORMANCE

    

    Except as otherwise provided in this
Lease, all covenants and agreements to be performed by Landlord or Tenant under
this Lease shall be performed by such party at such party's sole cost and
expense.

    

    ARTICLE 31 -
PARKING

    

    31.1           General
Parking.  Tenant shall be provided one (1) parking space for
each one thousand (1,000) square feet of Rentable Area in the Premises (“Parking
Spaces”), as expanded from time to time, effective as of the Commencement Date
of this Lease.  Tenant, and its authorized users (including sublessees
as set forth in Section 31.3 below), shall have access to the Parking Garage and
Ivey’s Parking Deck twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week,
three hundred sixty-five (365) days per year.

    31.2         Ivey’s Parking
Spaces.  Of the total Parking Spaces to be made available to
Tenant, two hundred twenty-six (226) of those Parking Spaces shall be located in
the Ivey’s Parking Deck (“Ivey’s Parking Spaces”).  Landlord and
Tenant acknowledge that the aforesaid parking rights constitute the entirety of
the Ivey’s Parking Deck.  The charge to Tenant for the Ivey’s Parking
Spaces shall be $18,492.00 per month (“Ivey’s Parking Fee”), which includes a
management fee that is payable to the parking management company in the amount
of $500.00 per month.  Tenant shall pay the Ivey’s Parking Fee
directly to the parking management company; provided, however, that if Landlord
pays the $500.00 per month parking management fee to the parking management
company and provides Tenant sufficient advanced notice and evidence thereof,
Tenant shall reimburse the $500.00 per month parking management fee to
Landlord.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Central Parking
currently manages the Ivey’s Parking Deck under an agreement with
Landlord.  Landlord agrees that it will not terminate, renew or enter
into any management agreement for the Ivey’s Parking Deck without Tenant’s prior
written approval.  Landlord further agrees that, upon thirty (30) days
notice from Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to take over the management of
the Ivey’s Parking Deck and Landlord shall, if Tenant desires, assign any
management agreement in effect at the time of such notice to
Tenant.  Tenant shall thereafter have the right to manage the Ivey’s
Parking Deck at its sole discretion.   Tenant shall have the
right to limit and/or restrict access to certain areas of the Ivey’s Parking
Deck and to establish rules and regulations governing the use of the Ivey’s
Parking Deck.

    

    31.3         Sublease of Ivey’s Parking
Spaces.  Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have the right to
sublease all or any of the Ivey’s Parking Spaces, without Landlord’s consent and
Tenant shall be entitled to all profits therefrom.  Tenant shall have
the right to sublease the Ivey’s Parking Spaces through the parking management
company, at no additional charge to Tenant, and shall notify the parking
management company of the rates to be established for individual parking spaces,
said rates being subject to change from time to time, and the fee to be charged
for any access cards.  All parking fees received each month by the
parking management company for subleased Ivey’s Parking Spaces shall be credited
towards the Ivey’s Parking Fee.  In the event any fees collected by
the parking management company in a calendar month exceed the Ivey’s Parking
Fee, Tenant shall receive a credit for such excess fees against the next monthly
Ivey’s Parking Fee due, or in the event of expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease, such excess fees shall be immediately paid to Tenant.  Any
credit available on December 31 of each year, whether such credit is cumulative
or from the month of December only, shall be paid to Tenant no later than
January 31 of each year.  Landlord shall direct the parking management
company to cooperate and work with Tenant in order to facilitate the above
agreements and to provide Tenant a monthly invoice and detailed report, which
shall include, but not be limited to, the amount of Ivey’s Parking Spaces
subleased, the Tenant established rates, the amount of fees collected, the
amount of any credit applied towards the Ivey’s Parking Fee and the balance of
the Ivey’s Parking Fee due for such month.

    

    
      31.4        
Parking Garage
Space.  The remaining Parking Spaces that are not accounted for
within the Ivey’s Parking Deck shall be located in the Parking Garage (“Parking
Garage Spaces”).  The rates for the Parking Garage Spaces shall be
$150.00 per month for a reserved space and $100.00 per month for an unreserved
space.  Landlord agrees that the aforesaid rates shall not change
without Tenant’s prior written approval.  Landlord may establish and
require payment of a reasonable fee, not to exceed Landlord’s actual cost
therefor for the issuance of replacement access cards.  Initial access
cards shall be provided at Landlord’s cost.

    

    

    31.5         Alternate
Parking.  If, during temporary periods of construction or
repair after the Commencement Date, Landlord is unable to provide sufficient
parking spaces in the Parking Garage and/or Ivey’s Parking Deck, Landlord shall
locate suitable alternative parking facilities within a two (2) block radius of
the Building, at Tenant’s cost, which shall not exceed the rates paid by Tenant
under this Article at the time of such interruption.  Any obligation
of Tenant to pay for the unavailable Parking Spaces in the Parking Garage and
Ivey’s Parking Deck shall cease for so long as Tenant and its employees,
invitees, assigns, and sublessees do not have the use of such Parking
Spaces.

    ARTICLE 32 - SECURITY

    32.1         Landlord's Obligation to
Furnish Security Services.  Tenant may provide, or may cause
Landlord to provide, twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week,
every day of the Year, on-site Building security equipment, personnel,
procedures and systems which are not less than security services provided at
other first class buildings in the Charlotte, North Carolina market area and
which are in full conformance with Tenant’s standards and requirements as the
same may be altered from time to time.  Upon request, and subject to a
reasonable waiting period based on applicable security personnel staffing,
Landlord's security guards shall, after Tenant’s normal business hours,
accompany any employee or visitor of Tenant from the Building to the Parking
Garage, Ivey’s Parking Deck and to any off-site parking located within one (1)
block of the Building.

    

    32.2         Tenant's Right to Install
Security System.  Tenant may establish or install any automated
and/or nonautomated security system or security personnel in, on or about the
Premises and/or Building in lieu of or in addition to Landlord’s security
equipment, including, without limitation, smoke detectors, electronic security
devices and auxiliary emergency electric power supplies, in elevator lobbies or
other locations within the Premises; and with the prior approval of Landlord,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, may install such
additional safety and security systems as Tenant may deem desirable in fire
stairwells on floors containing portions of the Premises, or other appropriate
locations in the Building not contained within the Premises.  Tenant
shall have the right to utilize Building core shafts, columns and other
appropriate spaces for the installation and maintenance of such security systems
and the cables, conduits and other elements associated therewith, provided such
installations (other than terminal devices) are concealed from view, and such
installation and maintenance does not unreasonably interfere with Landlord’s or
any other tenant’s use or occupancy of the Building.  Landlord agrees
that it shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, make reasonable efforts to
accommodate Tenant’s security strategy, including any security strategy that may
involve the Common Areas of the Building.  Landlord and Tenant
acknowledge that Tenant currently has additional security systems in place on or
about the Premises and the Building, including security portals/terminal devices
located in the lobby of the Building at the entrance to the Low-Rise
floors.  All existing security systems and security personnel are
hereby deemed approved by Landlord and Tenant shall have the right to continue
to maintain such existing security systems and security
personnel.  All security systems installed by Tenant shall be Tenant’s
Personal Property and Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
remove Tenant’s security systems (including portals/terminal devices) upon the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.  Tenant shall repair
any material damage to the Premises and/or Building as a result of Tenant’s
removal of Tenant’s security systems.

the same rights provided to other tenants of the Building.  Building
directories shall be provided at Landlord’s cost and there shall be no charge to
Tenant.

the Fiber Optics System in place.  Tenant shall also have the right to
maintain, repair and replace the Fiber Optics System as

pay Landlord any rental or license fees for any area(s) on which the
Communications Equipment and the HVAC Unit shall be
located.  Furthermore, Tenant shall, at its sole and absolute
discretion when it deems it as necessary or appropriate to do so, repair and

or contractors to engage in such activities upon or about the
Building.  However, the foregoing provisions shall not prohibit the
transportation to and from, and the use, storage, maintenance and handling
within, the Premises by Tenant of substances customarily used in connection with
normal office use provided:  (a) such substances shall be used and
maintained only in such quantities as are reasonably necessary for the permitted

ordinary trash, Tenant shall make arrangements at Tenant's expense for such
disposal directly with a qualified and licensed disposal company at a lawful
disposal site (subject to scheduling and approval by Landlord), and shall ensure
that disposal occurs frequently enough to prevent unnecessary storage of such
substances in the Premises, and (d)any remaining such substances shall be
completely, properly and lawfully removed from the Building upon expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease.

    

    38.12       Concierge.  Landlord
agrees to maintain concierge services for the benefit of all tenants in the
Building, comparable to concierge services provided in other first class
building in Uptown Charlotte.   Landlord’s cost for such services
shall be included in operating expenses for the Building and Tenant shall pay
Tenant’s Pro-rata Share thereof as part of High-Rise Operating Expenses,
Low-Rise Operating Expenses or Revised Operating Expenses, as
applicable.

    

    38.13       Consent/Duty to Act
Reasonably.  Except for any references to the terms “sole” or
“absolute”, any time the consent of Landlord or Tenant is required, such consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Whenever
this Lease grants Landlord or Tenant the right to take action, exercise
discretion, establish rules and regulations or make allocations or other
determinations (other than decisions to exercise expansion, contraction,
cancellation, termination or renewal options), Landlord and Tenant shall act
reasonably and in good faith and take no action which might result in the
frustration of the reasonable expectations of a sophisticated tenant or landlord
concerning the benefits to be enjoyed under this Lease.

    

    38.14       Tenant’s Right to Purchase
the Building.  During the initial Term of this Lease, Tenant
shall have a right to purchase the Building in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth in Exhibit K attached hereto and incorporated
herein.  During any exercised Renewal Term, Tenant shall have a right
of first refusal to purchase the Building in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth in Exhibit K attached hereto and incorporated
herein.

    38.15  Survivability.  The
parties agree that the appropriate provisions of this Lease will be deemed to
survive and continue to remain in effect to the extent necessary to allow
Landlord and/or Tenant to enforce rights accruing prior to, and attributable to
the period of time, prior to the expiration or termination of this
Lease.

    

    38.16  Reserved.

    

    38.17  Covenants and
Agreements.  The failure of Landlord or Tenant to insist in any
instance on the strict keeping, observance or performance of any covenant or
agreement contained in this Lease, or the exercise of any election contained in
this Lease, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future
of such covenant or agreement, but the same shall continue and remain in full
force and effect.

    

    38.18  Interest on Past Due
Obligations.  Except with respect to the late payment of Rent
(which shall be governed by the provisions of Section 3.6), whenever one party
is obligated pursuant to this Lease to make a payment to the other party, if
such payment is not paid when due, then the party who does not make such payment
when due shall pay interest at the Contract Rate to the party on the unpaid
amount from the date such amount was due until the date such amount is
paid.

    

    38.19  When Payment Is
Due.  Whenever in this Lease a payment is required to be made
by one party to the other, but a specific date for payment is not set forth or a
specific number of days within which payment is to be made is not set forth, or
the words “immediately,” “promptly” and/or “on demand,” or the equivalent, are
used to specify when such payment is due, then such payment shall be due thirty
(30) days after the party which is entitled to such payment sends written notice
to the other party demanding payment.

    

    38.20  Reserved.

    

    38.21  Time is of the
Essence.  The time for the performance of all of the covenants,
conditions and agreements of this Lease is of the essence of this
Lease.

    EXHIBIT
“B”

    

    
      OPTIONS TO
EXTEND

    

    

    1.           Notice and
Exercise.  Provided no default by Tenant shall have occurred
and be continuing under this Lease beyond any applicable cure periods, Tenant is
hereby granted the option to extend the Term of this Lease for four (4)
consecutive, additional terms of five (5) Years each (each, a “Renewal Term”) on
the same terms and conditions (except as provided in this Exhibit) as contained
in the other provisions of this Lease.  Landlord shall provide Tenant
a written reminder notice (“Reminder Notice”) of each upcoming Renewal Term no
earlier than twenty-four (24) months prior to the expiration of the initial
Lease Term or each Renewal Term, as applicable.  Tenant’s renewal
option shall be exercised by delivery of written notice (the “Renewal Notice”)
to Landlord prior to the later to occur of (i) the date that is six (6) months
prior to the scheduled expiration of the initial Term or any Renewal Term, as
applicable; or (ii) the date that is six (6) months after Tenant’s receipt of
the Reminder Notice.

    

    2.           Renewal Term Base
Rent.  The Base Rent for each five (5) Year Renewal Term shall
be the lesser of (i) 95% of the then prevailing Fair Market Value Rental Rate,
as agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant not later than the date which is three (3)
months after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Renewal Notice, or (ii) an amount
equal to 1.25% of the Base Rent in effect for the immediately preceding Lease
Year, rounded to the nearest cent.  For each Year of a Renewal Term
subsequent to the first Year of said Renewal Term, Net Base Rent shall increase
by one and one fourth percent (1.25%) annually in accordance with Section 3.3 of
this Lease.

    

    3.           Determination of Fair Market Value
Rental Rate.  If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree upon the Fair
Market Value Rental Rate by the date which is three (3) months prior to the
commencement of any Renewal Term to which this section is applicable, then
within ten (10) days after that date each party shall appoint and employ, at its
cost, a real estate appraiser (who shall be a member of the American Institute
of Real Estate Appraisers (MAI) with at least ten (10) Years of full-time
commercial appraisal experience in the metropolitan area in which the Building
is located) to appraise and establish the Fair Market Value Rental
Rate.  The two appraisers, thus appointed, shall meet promptly and
attempt to agree upon and designate a third appraiser meeting the qualifications
set forth above within ten (10) days after the last of the two appraisers were
appointed.  If they are unable to agree on the third appraiser, either
of the parties, after giving five (5) days notice to the other, may apply to the
appropriate court of the County in which the Building is located for the
selection of a third appraiser meeting the qualifications stated
above.  Each of the parties shall bear one-half (1/2) of the cost of
the appointment of the third appraiser and the third appraiser’s
fee.  All of the appraisers so selected shall be instructed to
determine value taking into account all of the criteria listed under the
definition of Fair Market Value Rental Rate at the beginning of this
Lease.  Within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third
appraiser, a majority of the appraisers shall agree upon the Fair Market Value
Rental Rate.  If a majority of the appraisers are unable to agree
within the stipulated time, then each appraiser shall render his separate
appraisal within such time, and the three appraisals shall be averaged in order
to establish such rate; provided, however, if the low appraisal and/or the high
appraisal are more than ten percent (10%) lower and/or higher than the middle
appraisal, the low appraisal and/or the high appraisal shall be
disregarded.  If only one appraisal is disregarded, the remaining two
appraisals shall be averaged in order to establish such rate.  If both
the low appraisal and the high appraisal are disregarded, the middle appraisal
shall establish such rate.  After the Fair Market Value Rental Rate
has been established, the appraisers shall immediately notify the parties in
writing, and the Base Rent shall then be determined in accordance with Paragraph
2 above.

    4.           Amendment.  The
leasing of the Premises by Landlord to Tenant during a Renewal Term shall be
upon all terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, except as expressly
modified by this Exhibit.  At either party’s request, the other party
shall execute an amendment to this Lease reflecting the leasing of the Premises
for the Renewal Term in accordance with the foregoing.

      EXHIBIT
“C”

    

    

    
      OPTION TO
CONTRACT

    

    

    During the Term of this Lease,
including any Renewal Terms exercised by Tenant (except that this Option to
Contract shall not be available during the first three (3) Lease Years of the
initial Term or the first two (2) Lease Years of any Renewal Term exercised by
Tenant, as hereinafter provided), Tenant may, at its election, cancel this Lease
as to not more than 104,000 square feet of Rentable Area, which shall be in full
floor increments except where Tenant’s Premises includes only a partial floor
(as set forth below), selected by Tenant in accordance with and as provided in
this Exhibit.  Tenant shall provide Landlord written notice of
cancellation not less than nine (9) months prior to the effective date of such
contraction if less than 42,000 of Rentable Area in any twelve (12) month
period, otherwise not less than eighteen (18) months prior to the effective date
of the cancellation of this Lease, and Tenant shall specify in its cancellation
notice the specific floor or floors of the Premises to which such cancellation
is effective and the effective date of such cancellation, which effective date
shall be the last day of a calendar month on or after the third anniversary of
the Rent Commencement Date.  Such cancellation right must be exercised
only in full floor increments, except that if the cancellation is as to space on
a floor partially leased by Tenant, then Tenant may cancel this Lease as to the
entire area on such floor partially leased by Tenant.  If Tenant first
exercises this right as to a minimum of a full floor, it may thereafter exercise
this right by giving a separate cancellation notice, but such subsequent
exercise must also be as to a full floor(s) of the Premises (except where
Tenant’s Premises includes only a partial floor) and such floor(s) must be
contiguous to a floor as to which the cancellation right was previously
exercised.  Tenant may not exercise its rights under this Exhibit if
an event of default exists beyond applicable notice and cure periods (whether at
the time a cancellation notice is given or on the date the cancellation would be
effective).   Tenant may not exercise its rights under this
Exhibit if the effective date of such cancellation shall occur during the first
three (3) Years of the initial Term or the first two (2) Years of any Renewal
Term.  If Tenant exercises its rights under this Exhibit, then upon
the effective date of the cancellation, the area in question shall be deleted
from this Lease, Tenant shall vacate and surrender such area in question in
accordance with Article 21.1 of this Lease, and the Rentable Area of the
Premises and Rent shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the new area of the
Premises.  Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this
Lease reflecting such deletion and adjustment.

      EXHIBIT
“D”

    

    

    
      RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER TO
LEASE SPACE

    

    

    During the Term of this Lease,
including any Renewal Term, if space (the “ROFO Space”) becomes (or will become)
available within the Building, Landlord will offer same to Tenant prior to
offering it to other Building tenants or the market, pursuant to the following
procedures:  On or about January 15 and June 15 of each Lease Year,
Landlord will provide Tenant with a written notice specifying the amount of ROFO
Space that is or is
projected to become available, the date of availability, and the proposed rental
rate, which shall be the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value Rental Rate or (ii)
the existing Rental Rate under this Lease.  Additionally, if any ROFO
Space becomes available at any other time, Landlord shall promptly provide a
written notice to Tenant.  Upon learning of the availability and the
anticipated delivery date of such ROFO Space, Tenant shall have thirty (30)
calendar days from receipt of Landlord’s written notice, to elect by written
notice to lease all or a portion of such space for the remaining Term of this
Lease (including any Renewal Term if Tenant exercises its option to extend the
Term for a Renewal Term).  Provided, however, that in the event Tenant
elects to lease only a portion of the ROFO Space, Tenant shall state in its
written notice the approximate amount of such ROFO Space that Tenant elects to
lease, whereupon Landlord shall promptly designate the exact location, size and
configuration of the space to be leased by Tenant, provided that such space so
designated by Landlord shall, to the extent possible, be internally contiguous
and contiguous to other space leased by Tenant, shall be of a size which is
reasonably close to the size of the space requested by Tenant, and shall consist
of a commercially reasonable rental configuration (and with the remaining
portion of the ROFO Space not designated by Landlord consisting of a
commercially reasonable rental configuration).  If Tenant shall have
failed within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of receipt of such notice to
notify Landlord of Tenant’s election to lease all or a portion of the ROFO
Space, Landlord shall have the right to offer such ROFO Space to third parties;
provided, however, that the rights of Tenant in such ROFO Space shall never
expire.  If Tenant shall notify Landlord within such time period of
Tenant’s election to lease such ROFO Space, then such ROFO Space (or the
applicable portion thereof) shall be leased to Tenant by Landlord pursuant to
all terms and conditions of this Lease except that:

    

    
      (a)          Tenant
shall have no such right to lease the ROFO Space or any portion thereof if a
default of Tenant is in existence beyond applicable notice and cure
periods;

    

    

    (b)           Tenant’s
right to lease all or any portion of the ROFO Space shall be subject to (i) any
renewal and expansion rights held by existing tenants of the Building under
executed leases as of August 1, 2004 (which such rights are enumerated on
Exhibit D-1), and (ii) Landlord’s right to renew or extend any lease of space
with the then existing tenant of such space, provided that such renewal or
extension with the then existing tenant of such space is effectuated before
Tenant shall exercise its right under this Exhibit to lease such ROFO
Space;

    

    
      (c)          The Base
Rent for the ROFO Space leased by Tenant shall be as set forth in Paragraph 1
hereof.

    The right
of first offer set forth in this Exhibit D is intended to be a continuing
right.  If Tenant elects not to exercise its rights hereunder with
respect to a particular ROFO Space, and such ROFO Space or a portion thereof
becomes available again at a later date, then Tenant shall again have a right of
first offer with respect to such space in accordance with this Exhibit
D.  If Tenant notifies Landlord of its exercise of this option
pursuant to the provisions of this Exhibit D, Landlord shall make the applicable
ROFO Space available for the commencement of construction of Tenant Improvements
therein (or if demolition of previous tenant improvements is first required, for
the demolition thereof) promptly after Landlord shall recover full and exclusive
possession of the applicable ROFO Space.  All tenant improvements in
all portions of the ROFO Space shall be delivered to and accepted by Tenant in
an “as is” condition and Tenant shall not be entitled to any allowance or
payment from Landlord for the improvement of such ROFO Space.  The
date upon which Monthly Base Rent for the applicable ROFO Space shall commence
shall be the earlier to occur of (i) the date which is one hundred fifty (150)
days after Landlord shall make the applicable ROFO Space available to Tenant, or
(ii) the date that Tenant shall occupy any portion of the applicable ROFO Space

component of Revised Operating Expenses shall not increase by more than three
percent (3%) in the aggregate over the Controllable Expenses component of
Revised Operating Expenses for the previous Calendar Year, compounded annually,
through the Year of adjustment.  Provided, however, that if
Controllable Expenses increase less than three percent (3%) in the aggregate

every day of the Year, electrical facilities which provide electrical power of
seven (7) watts per square foot of Rentable Area, all costs of providing
electrical capacity to the Premises in excess of seven (7) watts per square foot

subject to the supervision specifications and any rules and regulations which
Landlord may from time to time and subject to Tenant’s consent, promulgate, and
as the same may be amended from time to time with Tenant's consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably or arbitrarily withheld, conditioned or
delayed.  Access to the Project and the Premises shall be regulated in
such form as Landlord deems appropriate; provided, however, that Tenant, its
employees, invitees and guests shall have access to the Premises twenty-four
(24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week.  Provided Landlord has
secured and maintained appropriate insurance as required by the next sentence,
and to the extent Tenant is covered hereunder, Landlord shall not be liable for
losses due to theft or burglary, damages done by unauthorized persons, or
injuries to persons or damages to property as a result of any failure to supply
supervision services.  Landlord shall be required to insure against
such damages, losses or injuries only to the extent the same are directly
attributable to Landlord, its agents or employees.  Tenant shall
cooperate fully in Landlord's efforts to maintain supervision in the Project,
the Premises, Parking Garage and Ivey’s Parking Deck, and shall follow all rules
and regulations established in accordance with this paragraph.

    10.         Interruption of
Services.  Landlord reserves the right to interrupt any
services when, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, such interruption is necessary
by reason of accident or emergency or for repairs, alterations, replacements or
improvements.  Except in the case of an emergency, Landlord will
notify Tenant in advance, of any interruption and its estimated
duration.  Landlord will undertake repairs with reasonable diligence
to restore such service as promptly as reasonably possible and will conduct
ordinary repairs in a manner and at times so as not to unduly interfere with or
impair Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Premises.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Lease, for any such interruption or
interruptions of essential services which renders the Premises or a material
portion thereof unusable for more than three (3) consecutive days, Landlord
shall abate Tenant's Rent effective the date of initial interruption of such
services, until such services are restored.  In the event that
Landlord has not commenced repairs necessary to restore such services within
fifteen (15) days after the date of initial interruption, then, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant, at its option but after giving
written notice to Landlord of Tenant's intent to exercise either of the
following rights, shall have the right to (i) make repairs necessary to restore
such services and the reasonable and actual costs incurred by Tenant in
restoring such services may be deducted by Tenant from Base Rent, or (ii) cancel
this Lease and upon such cancellation neither party shall have any further
liability to the other hereunder.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Lease, if Landlord commences repairs necessary to restore such
services within fifteen (15) days after the date of initial interruption and
thereafter diligently pursues completion thereof but is unable to restore such
services within forty-five (45) days after the initial interruption thereof,
Tenant shall be entitled to immediately cancel this Lease, and upon such
cancellation neither party shall have any further liability to the other
hereunder accruing after the effective date of termination.

    

    11.         Level of Services; Tenant
Satisfaction.  Tenant shall at all times be designated a third
party beneficiary to Landlord’s property management agreement(s) for the
Project.  If, at any time, Tenant becomes dissatisfied with the level
of Services being provided by Landlord and/or Landlord’s property manager,
Tenant may elect to perform such Services or a portion thereof itself, and if
Tenant makes such election in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph,
then such services shall no longer be a High-Rise, Low-Rise and/or Revised
Operating Expense passed through to Tenant.  Prior to electing to
provide the Services itself, Tenant shall first provide Landlord with thirty
(30) days advance written notice, setting forth in reasonable detail the
Tenant’s reason(s) for such dissatisfaction.  If Landlord fails to
remedy the problem(s) within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice,
Tenant shall send Landlord a second written notice setting forth in reasonable
detail the reason(s) for Tenant’s continued dissatisfaction.  If
Tenant’s second notice also contains a statement that Tenant elects to perform
such Services or portion thereof itself, then upon the expiration of fifteen
(15) days from Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s second notice, Tenant may begin
providing the Services or unsatisfactory portion thereof at Tenant’s expense,
and Landlord shall cease to perform such Services and shall cease to charge
Tenant the cost thereof as High-Rise, Low-Rise and/or Revised Operating
Expenses.  Landlord agrees to participate, assist and cooperate with
Tenant, from time to time, in Tenant’s quarterly and annual quality surveys,
including, but not limited to, distributing the surveys and tabulating responses
thereto.

      TENANT’S RIGHT TO PURCHASE
THE BUILDING

    

    

    1.           Initial Term Purchase
Right.  If at any time during the initial Term of this Lease,
Landlord shall solicit or receive a bona fide offer (a “Third Party Offer”)
from a third party (other than a purchaser making a bid at any sale incidental
to the exercise of any remedy provided for in any mortgage encumbering the
Building or the Project, or a proposed transaction with an Affiliate of
Landlord, meaning Landlord has a controlling interest in such Affiliate) to
purchase the Building, which Third Party Offer is in all respects acceptable to
Landlord, Tenant shall have a right of first offer to purchase the Building;
provided, however, that (i) Tenant shall not, at such time, be in default of any
monetary obligations under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure
periods; and (ii) Tenant shall, at such time, be in possession of at lease
thirty-five percent (35%) of the rentable area of the Building.  Upon
receipt of any Third Party Offer, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of
such Third Party Offer (“Purchase Notice”).  Landlord’s Purchase
Notice shall include a true, correct and complete copy of such Third Party Offer
along with (a) complete copies of all due diligence materials provided by
Landlord to such third party and (b) a form of Purchase and Sale Agreement for
the Building containing the same terms, purchase price and conditions that are
contained in the Third Party Offer.  Notwithstanding the terms set
forth in any Third Party Offer, Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have a period
of time to perform due diligence and inspections with regard to the Building
(and to terminate the Purchase and Sale Agreement based upon such due diligence
and inspections) equal to that provided to any third party or ninety days after
execution of a Purchase and Sale Agreement, whichever is
greater.  Tenant shall have a period of twenty (20) days after receipt
of the Purchase Notice to accept Landlord’s offer to purchase the Building
pursuant to the terms of the Third Party Offer.   Tenant shall
exercise such right of first offer, if at all, by executing the Purchase and
Sale Agreement included with the Third Party Offer and delivering the Purchase
and Sale Agreement to Landlord prior to the expiration of the aforesaid twenty
(20) day period.  If Tenant fails to accept Landlord’s offer within
such twenty (20) day period, then Landlord shall be free to sell the Building
for a period of nine (9) months thereafter for a purchase price of not less than
95% of the purchase price specified in the Third Party Offer (“Minimum Purchase
Price”).  If Landlord is unable to sell the Building to the party
making the Third Party Offer or another party for the Minimum Purchase Price, or
if Landlord accepts a Third Party Offer on materially different terms and
conditions than were set forth in the Third Party Offer, Landlord shall re-offer
the Building to Tenant in accordance with the above guidelines, except that
Tenant shall have a period of ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of the
Purchase Notice to accept revised Third Party Offer.  If Landlord does
not convey its interest in the Building within such nine (9) month period, then
Tenant’s rights pursuant to this Exhibit shall be reinstated.  If
Tenant does not exercise its right of first offer set forth herein and Landlord
conveys the Property to a third party, Tenant’s right of first offer shall not
terminate or otherwise be limited or impaired, except as otherwise provided
herein.

    2.           Renewal Term Right of First
Refusal.     If during any Renewal Term of the Lease
exercised by Tenant, Landlord desires to sell or convey the Building to a third
party purchaser that is not an Affiliate of Landlord, Landlord shall so notify
Tenant in writing (“Renewal Term Purchase Notice”).  Landlord’s
Renewal Term Purchase Notice shall specify the commercially reasonable purchase
price and include a form of Purchase and Sale Agreement which Landlord is
willing to enter into for the sale of the Building.  Landlord agrees
that Tenant shall have a period of ninety (90) days from the execution of a
Purchase and Sale Agreement in which to (i) perform due diligence and
inspections with regard to the Building and (ii) terminate the Purchase and Sale
Agreement based upon such due diligence and inspections.  If Tenant
desires to purchase the Building at the purchase price and upon the terms and
conditions set forth in the Renewal Term Purchase Notice, Tenant shall so notify
Landlord in writing within twenty (20) days following Tenant’s receipt of the
Renewal Term Purchase Notice and pay to Landlord a deposit in an amount equal to
10% of the purchase price set forth in the Renewal Term Purchase Notice for the
Building.  In such event, without further action of Landlord or
Tenant, Landlord shall be deemed to have agreed to sell the Building to Tenant,
and Tenant shall be deemed to have agreed to purchase the Building from Landlord
for the commercially reasonable purchase price and upon the terms and conditions
set forth in the Renewal Term Purchase Notice.  If Tenant does not
accept Landlord’s offer to purchase the Building within said twenty (20) day
period, at any time thereafter Landlord shall be free to sell and convey the
Building free and clear of Tenant’s right of first offer, provided that (i)
Landlord shall not sell the Building for a purchase price that is less than 95%
of the purchase price stated in the Renewal Term Purchase Notice to Tenant or
(ii) sell the Building more than nine (9) months following the date of the
Renewal Term Purchase Notice without, in either such case, sending a new Renewal
Term Purchase Notice to Tenant, in which event Tenant shall have a further
period of twenty (20) days following Tenant’s receipt of the new Renewal Term
Purchase Notice to purchase the Building.  If Tenant does not exercise
its right of first refusal set forth herein and Landlord conveys the Property to
a third party, Tenant’s right of first refusal shall not terminate or otherwise
be limited or impaired, except as otherwise provided herein.

    

    3.           Marketing
Materials.     If Landlord prepares marketing
materials for the sale of the Building during the initial Term and/or any
Renewal Term exercised by Tenant, Landlord shall deliver copies of such
marketing materials to Tenant when Landlord delivers or distributes such
materials to potential purchasers of the Property.

    

    4.           Non-Controlling
Interest/Foreclosure.     In no event shall the right
of first offer contained herein apply to any sale of a non-controlling, partial
interest in the Building or the foreclosure of the Building or the delivery of
any deed-in-lieu of foreclosure and such right of first offer shall terminate
and be of no further force or effect upon and following a foreclosure or the
delivery of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.  Landlord shall use
diligent efforts to cause Landlord’s lender to agree to permit Tenant to
exercise Tenant’s right of first offer in a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure for a Minimum Purchase Price established by Landlord’s
lender.

    EXHIBIT

    COMMON AREA USAGE FOR
SPECIAL EVENTS

    

    In order to encourage patronage of the
retail shopping areas and other enterprises located in the Building and to
affect favorably the public perception of the Project, its owners and tenants
(as well as that of Uptown Charlotte), it is highly desirable to have an
effective program of sales, promotional events and other activities in the
Building (the “Program”).  Landlord and Tenant also recognizes that
the development, management and operation of a private enterprise, such as the
Building, entails a certain civic responsibility.  Accordingly, to
cooperate with civic and charitable organizations and further these purposes in
the Charlotte area in a fair and responsible fashion and in a manner consistent
with the best interests of the tenants of the Building and their clientele,
Landlord and Tenant agree that the following terms and conditions shall be in
effect during the Term of this Lease (including any exercised Renewal
Terms):

    

    1.           Tenant
will provide promotional consulting services at its own expense for the Program
through one or more of its employees or, at Tenant’s election, by other
means.

    

    2.           In
exchange therefore, Tenant will have the right on the days hereinafter set
forth, free of Rent or usage fees but otherwise at Tenant’s sole cost, expense
and responsibility, to use for civic, charitable, promotional and cultural
purposes (including without limitation the presentation of performing arts), (a)
any and all Common Area space in (i) outside of the Building and (ii) the atrium
adjoining the Building as delineated in the initial master plan and (b) subject
to reasonable rules and regulations of Landlord (such rules and regulations not
to unreasonably or unduly interfere with or hinder Tenant’s use or provide
Tenant lesser rights to use such space than any other tenant in the Building)
space in the lobby of the Building (the “Lobby Space”) for displays and
events.  Such use shall be without payment of any kind in addition to
Rent provided for under this Lease.  Such use may be for up to twelve
(12) days, (no more than six (6) of which shall be consecutive in any given
calendar month, such days to be designated by Tenant at least two (2) weeks in
advance, provided, however, that Tenant may not designate any days previously
committed to any other party under the terms of Paragraphs 4 and 6
hereof.  During the time of such events there shall be no other use of
any of the Common Areas or Lobby Space which would be competing, conflicting or
disruptive with or to Tenant’s use.  Additional use shall require
permission of the Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

    

    3.           Such
events may include, without limitation, lunchtime concerts and other activities
for which Tenant shall engage and pay for entertainment.  At Tenant’s
request, Landlord will use its best efforts to assist in the conduct of such
events so long as such assistance is not disruptive of the ordinary duties of
Landlord’s personnel.  Food and beverages may be sold or distributed
free to the public during such events by Tenant or by a party or parties
selected by Tenant.

    

    4.           Non-commercial
use of the Common Areas or the Lobby Space shall be limited exclusively to those
organizations which are non-political and non-sectarian in character, which are
not issue oriented advocacy groups, and which in addition have or could qualify
as “exempt organizations” under Section 501 (c), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7) and
(10) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended from time to
time.

    

    5.           Any
retail tenant or hotel located in any portion of Project, with the prior written
consent of Landlord, may use the Common Areas for the temporary commercial
advertising purposes directly related to such tenant’s or hotel’s business as
conducted in the Project, provided, however, that any such advertising (i) is in
keeping with the aesthetic standards of the Project, (ii) does not interfere
with or hinder Tenant’s use pursuant to Paragraphs 2 and 3 above and (iii) will
not embarrass or otherwise injure the reputation of Building, Project or Tenant
or adversely affect the public perception of Building, Project or
Tenant.

    6.           Except
as provided in Paragraphs 2, 3 and 5 above, any activity conducted in the Common
Areas or Lobby Space must have the prior written approval of the Building
Promotions Committee (the “Committee”), which shall be comprised of two voting
members—a representative of Landlord and a representative of Tenant—and such
other members as Tenant and Landlord may from time to time
appoint.  The Committee shall have responsibility for, among other
things, (i) determining the fee, if any, to be paid by organizations or
individuals for usage of Common Areas, which fees shall be applied to the
Building promotion account, and (ii) receiving and disbursing funds of the
Building promotion account.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this Paragraph 6, Landlord may permit uses of the Common Areas and the Lobby
Space despite the disapproval thereof by Tenant’s representative on the
Committee provided (a) the proposal for such use shall have been submitted to
the Committee with full opportunity for discussion, (b) such use shall not
embarrass, injure the reputation, or adversely affect the public perception of
the Building, Project or Tenant, (c) any such use for commercial purposes shall
enhance the business of the retail tenants of the Building, (d) such use shall
not promote or advocate a particular point of view on any political, moral,
religious or other public issue, and (e) such use shall not interfere with any
scheduled use by Tenant under Paragraphs 2 and 3 above.

    

    7.           A
written application for use of the Common Areas by any party other than Landlord
or Tenant must be made to the Committee at least two (2) weeks prior to the date
of desired usage.  The application shall be in such form as may be
established by the Committee from time to time, which shall include such items
as the following:

              (c)

            	
              The
      name and phone number of the person with whom the Committee is to
      deal;

            

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (d)

            	
              The
      nature of the proposed activity, its purpose, the number of expected
      participants and the dates and times
requested;

            

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (e)

            	
              If
      applicable, a letter from the Internal Revenue Service determining
      applicant’s status as an exempt organization or such other evidence of
      that status as the Committee shall
require;

            

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (f)

      of all posters, displays or like representation which the applicant
      intends to use; and

            

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (g)

            	
              Any
      other pertinent facts which the applicant wishes to present or which are
      requested by the Committee.

            

    

    

    8.           Tenant
covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any
loss, cost or expense whatsoever, directly or indirectly resulting or occasioned
to, or imposed upon, Landlord resulting from the use or occupancy of the Common
Areas for activities conducted by or for Tenant under Paragraphs 2 and 3 above,
including injury to or destruction of life or property, except that Tenant shall
not be responsible or liable to Landlord for any such event, act or omission (a)
to the extend covered by any insurance obtained and maintained by Landlord, or
(b) caused by the negligent or willful act of Landlord or any of Landlord’s
employees.

    

    9.           In
the event that Landlord sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of any interest
in the Common Areas to any party, any such party shall have agreed to comply
with the terms hereof and to permit Tenant to enforce such
standards.  Such agreement shall not relieve Landlord of any of its
obligations hereunder respecting space retained by Landlord.

-MASTER
AGREEMENT REGARDING LEASES

     

    THIS
MASTER AGREEMENT REGARDING LEASES (this "Master Agreement") is
made and entered into as of September 22, 2004, by and between WACHOVIA BANK,
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (herein called "Wachovia N.A."), and
FIRST STATES INVESTORS 3300, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(herein called "Master
Landlord Named Herein").

     

    BACKGROUND

     

    A.           On
May 10, 2004, Wachovia, as seller, and Master Landlord, as purchaser, entered
into a certain Agreement of Sale and Purchase, dated as of May 10, 2004, setting
forth a sale-leaseback transaction involving a portfolio of properties (each, a
"Portfolio
Property", and, collectively, the "Portfolio
Properties"), consisting of (i) the properties listed on Exhibit A hereto
(each, a "Group A
Property", and, collectively, the "Group A Properties"),
(ii) the properties listed on Exhibit B hereto
(each, a "Group B
Property", and, collectively, the "Group B Properties"),
and (iii) certain other properties that are not subject to leases with Master
Landlord; such Agreement of Sale and Purchase has heretofore been amended by
amendments dated June 2, 2004, August 16, 2004 and September 22, 2004 (such
Agreement of Sale and Purchase, as so amended, being herein called the "Purchase
Agreement"). FSG is the owner of one
hundred percent (100%) of the membership interests in First States Investors
3300 Holdings, LLC, which is the owner of one hundred percent (100%) of the
membership interests in Master Landlord Named Herein.  Accordingly,
Master Landlord Named Herein is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of FSG.

     

    B.           As
of the date hereof, the closing under the Purchase Agreement has occurred, and
pursuant thereto:

     

    
         
(1)          Wachovia
has conveyed to Master Landlord, all of its ownership interest in all of the
Group A Properties and the Group B Properties;
and

    

    

    
         
(2)          Master
Landlord, as landlord, and Wachovia, as tenant, have entered into 132 lease
agreements, each of which is dated as of the date hereof, and each of which
demises certain premises (as more particularly described in such Lease) within
(i) one of the Group A Properties (each, a "Group A Lease" and
collectively, the "Group A Leases"); or
(ii) one of the
Group B Properties (each, a "Group B Lease" and
collectively, the
"Group B
Leases").

    

    

    As used
herein, (i) the term "Lease" shall mean any
Group A Lease or Group B Lease, and the term "Leases" shall mean,
collectively, the Group A Leases and the Group B Leases, and (ii) the term
"Lease
Property" shall mean any Group A Property or Group B Property, and
the term "Lease
Properties" shall mean, collectively, the Group A Properties and the
Group B Properties.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    C.           This
Master Agreement is also being executed pursuant to the Purchase Agreement at
the closing thereunder. The purpose hereof is to set forth additional covenants
and agreements with respect to the Leases between Master Landlord (as landlord
under the Group A Leases and the Group B Leases), on the one hand, and Wachovia,
on the other. Generally, it is the intention of the parties to set forth such
additional covenants and agreements in this Master Agreement, as opposed to
setting forth the same in each of the Leases, due to (i) the application thereof
to more than a single Lease Property, and/or (ii) the fact that the same are not
intended to apply to any third party (i.e., unaffiliated)
successors to the Master Landlord and/or Tenant under the Leases, except as
provided in this Master Agreement; but this sentence is intended as explanatory
and shall not be deemed to limit the express provisions hereof.

     

    D.           Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is intended, as more particularly
provided herein, that this Master Agreement be integrated with, and constitute a
part of, each Integrated Lease. In that regard, certain provisions of each Lease
(by way of example only, Article XI of each Lease setting forth Wachovia's
Termination Rights) were written to fully reflect the terms and conditions that
apply under such Lease from and after the point, if any, that it becomes a
Non-Integrated Lease, but only partially reflect the terms and conditions that
apply under such Lease while it remains an Integrated Lease; it being intended
that (i) for so long as each Lease shall remain an Integrated Lease, it shall be
read together with this Master Agreement (as an indispensable part thereof) in
determining the rights of the Landlord and the Tenant under the Lease (and that,
in the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Master
Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Lease, the terms and conditions of
this Master Agreement shall control and apply in all respects, to the extent
herein expressed), and (ii) from and after the point, if any, that it becomes a
Non-Integrated Lease, it shall be read independent of this Master Agreement
(which shall no longer be a part thereof) in determining the rights of the
Landlord and the Tenant under the Lease, provided, that this clause (ii) shall
not be deemed to limit, in any way, the rights and/or obligations of any party
to this Master Agreement under this Master Agreement (including the obligations
of Wachovia to pay any Excess Termination Rights Payments pursuant to Section
3.4 hereof).

     

    E.           Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is further intended, that with
respect to any state or federal bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency law,
including, without limitation, the United States Bankruptcy Code (Title 11,
U.S.C.A) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (Title 12, U.S.C.A, Chapter 16),
or other similar federal or state law, no party hereto shall have the right to
reject or disaffirm this Master Agreement or its obligations hereunder
separately from its obligations under the Leases for which the provisions of
this Master Agreement are incorporated; and this Master Agreement may not be
terminated without the express written consent of Wachovia, the Designated
Portfolio Lender and Master Landlord, provided, that the foregoing
shall not be deemed to limit, in any way, the rights and/or obligations of any
party to this Master Agreement under this Master Agreement.

     

    F.           The
foregoing Recitals are intended to be an integral and operative part of this
Master Agreement.

     

    NOW,
THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other
good and valuable consideration in hand paid by each party to the other, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto,
intending to be legally bound hereby, covenant and agree as

"Enforcement Completion Date", "Non-Integration Event" and "Portfolio Loan")
mean any mortgage lien that was granted by the Landlords under the pertinent
Leases to the Designated Portfolio Lender, as security for its Portfolio Loan,
with the intent that, at the time of such grant, such mortgage lien be the most
senior mortgage lien (as amongst mortgage liens) affecting the pertinent Lease
Properties (it being acknowledged that any other mortgage lien that is "insured
over" or not excepted from coverage under the lender's title insurance policy or
marked commitment relating to such loan shall not be deemed to be senior to the
lender's mortgage lien for purposes of this definition); provided, further,
that, for purposes of this definition, a mortgage lien shall be deemed "granted"
(for all purposes) if at the time it is purportedly granted, the lender is
insured with respect under the lender's title insurance policy.

the first to occur of (x) the delivery of an Acceleration Rescission Notice and
(y) the Enforcement Completion Date).

     

    "Third Party Transfer
Event", with respect to any Lease, shall mean either (a) a conveyance or
other transfer of the Landlord's Estate under such Lease to a Third Party
Purchaser, or (b) a transfer of any ownership interest in the Landlord under

Landlord or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Master Landlord or (ii) the Designated
Portfolio Lender (or its Wholly-Owned Subsidiary) or its DPL Nominee (or its
Wholly Owned Subsidiary) (except that the provisions of this clause (ii) shall
be applicable only during a period commencing on the delivery of a DPL
Acceleration Notice and ending on the first to occur of (x) the delivery of an
Acceleration Rescission Notice and (y) the Enforcement Completion Date); it being further agreed that
any transaction (including any transfers of ownership interests in any entity)
which results in the Master Landlord Named Herein (while it is still Master
Landlord hereunder) no longer being a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of FSG, the
Designated Mezzanine Lender or its DML Nominee or any DML Transferee, shall be

    2.           Limitation on Annual Basic
Rent Factor for Renewal Terms under Section 2 Leases.

     

    2.1         As
expressed in Section
1.4(c)(1) of the Leases, the Annual Basic Rent Factor under each Lease
for each Renewal Term shall equal the Fair Market Rental Value Per RSF of the
Base Leased Premises under such Lease for such Renewal Term as
determined by the parties or, in the absence of their agreement, determined by
appraisal as expressed in the Leases, subject, on a Lease by Lease basis, to the
limitations expressed in Section 1.4(c)(1)
thereof.

     

    2.2         Notwithstanding
any contrary provision in any of the Leases, it is the intention of the parties
that the limitations on the Annual Basic Rent Factor during Renewal Terms under
Section 2 Leases shall be calculated on an aggregate basis for all Section 2

Annual Basic Rent Factor for any Renewal Term under any Section 2 Lease shall be
equal to (I) the Fair
Market Rental Value Per RSF of the Base Leased Premises for such Renewal Term
under such Section 2 Lease, minus (II) the Apportioned

Basic Rent", with respect to any Renewal Term, shall mean the sum of all
the Prior BLP Annual Basic Rents with respect to such Renewal Term under all
Section 2 Leases.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        9

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (c)           "Pre-Reduction BLP Annual
Basic Rent", for any Renewal Term under any Section 2 Lease, shall mean
the product of (i) the

Term under such Section 2 Lease, multiplied by (ii) the Net
Rentable Area of the Base Leased Premises for such Renewal Term under such
Section 2 Lease.

     

    (d)           "Pre-Reduction Aggregate BLP
Annual Basic Rent", for any Renewal Term, shall mean the sum of all the

Pre-Reduction Aggregate BLP Annual Basic Rent for such Renewal Term, over (b) 110% of the Prior
BLP Aggregate Annual Basic Rent with respect to any Renewal Term, and (II) for
each subsequent Renewal Term, the excess (if any) of (a) the
Pre-Reduction Aggregate BLP Annual Basic Rent for such Renewal Term, over (b) 105% of the Prior
BLP Aggregate Annual Basic Rent with respect to any Renewal Term.

     

    (f)           "Apportioned Reduction
Amount", for any Renewal Term with respect to any Section 2 Lease, shall
mean the product of (I)
the Aggregate Reduction Amount for such Renewal Term, multiplied by (II) a
fraction, (x) the numerator of which is
Pre-Reduction BLP Annual Basic Rent for such Renewal Term under such Section 2
Lease, and (y) the denominator of which is the
Pre-Reduction Aggregate BLP Annual Basic Rent for such Renewal
Term.

     

    (g)           "Apportioned Reduction Amount
Per RSF", for any Renewal Term with respect to any Section 2 Lease, shall
mean (i) the Apportioned Reduction Amount for such Renewal Term with respect to
such Section 2 Lease, divided

illustration of how the Annual Basic Rent Factor is determined during a Renewal
Term with respect to the Section 2 Leases is attached as Exhibit D
hereto.

     

    3.           Limitations on Wachovia's
Termination Rights.

     

    3.1         As
expressed in Article
XI of the Leases, Wachovia may, from time to time during the Initial Term
(but not during any Renewal Term), exercise Wachovia's Termination Rights to
terminate a Lease with respect to all or any portion(s) of the then Base Leased Premises under
any Lease, all in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions set forth
in such Article
XI.

     

    3.2         Notwithstanding
the foregoing, it is not the intention of the parties hereto that Wachovia's
Termination Rights be unconditional as between Master Landlord (and, if
applicable, any Landlord), on the one hand, and Wachovia, on the other; more
specifically, (i) Wachovia's exercise of Wachovia's Termination Rights under any
Integrated Lease, shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 below, and
(ii) Wachovia's exercise of Wachovia's Termination Rights under any
Non-Integrated Lease, shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3.4
below.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        10

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    3.3         With
respect to all Integrated Leases, Wachovia's Termination Rights may be validly
and effectively exercised if, and only if, at the time of such exercise, the
then Available Termination Rights Area is equal to or greater than the Exercise
Termination Area as to the exercise of such Wachovia's Termination Rights; and
any purported exercise by Wachovia of Wachovia's Termination Rights under any
Integrated Leases at a time when the then Available Termination Rights Area is
less than the purported Exercise Termination Area as to the exercise of such
Wachovia's Termination Rights shall be rendered void and of no force or effect
(but the fact that such purported exercise is rendered null and void shall not
prevent any subsequent exercise by Wachovia of Wachovia's Termination Rights
consistent with the provisions hereof).

     

    3.4         With
respect to all Non-Integrated Leases, Wachovia's Termination Rights may be
validly and effectively exercised even if, at the time of such exercise, the
then Available Termination Rights Area is less than the Exercise Termination
Area as to the exercise of such Wachovia's Termination Rights (it being
understood that neither Master Landlord, any Landlord, nor any other party,
shall have any right to object to any exercise of Wachovia's Termination Rights
under any Non-Integrated Lease under any circumstances); but, in such event,
Wachovia shall (on or prior to the Early Termination Date) pay the Excess
Termination Rights Payment with respect such exercise by Wachovia to (i) the
Designated Portfolio Lender, if there is a Designated Portfolio Lender, or (ii)
the Master Landlord, if there is no Designated Portfolio Lender; in each case,
such payment shall be sent to such party at the address provided to Wachovia
therefor (or, at the election of such party, to by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to an account designated by such party). In no event will the
obligation of Wachovia to pay Rent under a Non-Integrated Lease terminate until
the applicable Excess Termination Rights Payment required pursuant to this
Section 3.4 is paid pursuant hereto; it being understood that any
payment made Wachovia to a Depositary (or a court of competent jurisdiction)
consistent with the provisions of Section 3.5 hereof shall be deemed paid
pursuant hereto.

     

    3.5         Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if, a bona fide good faith dispute(s)
exists with respect to either (A) the exercise of Wachovia's Termination Rights
under any Integrated Lease as to some or all of the Leased Premises under such
Lease or (B) the payment of an Excess Termination Rights Payment with respect to
any Non-Integrated Lease (including with respect to the party entitled to
receive such payment), then, and in each such case, Wachovia shall have the
right (at its option), without waiving any other rights and remedies that it may
have under the circumstances, in lieu of paying the disputed rental amounts or
Excess Termination Rights Payment, to make payment thereof to a Depositary (or,
if Wachovia acting in good faith is not able to designate a Depositary prior to
the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the due date of such payment,
to a court of competent jurisdiction) as and when such amounts are or would be
due under such Lease or this Master Agreement.  Such Depositary (or,
as the case may be, such court of competent jurisdiction) shall hold such
payments in escrow pending the resolution of such dispute. Provided Wachovia
timely pays all such disputed amounts to a Depositary (or, as the case may be, a
court of competent jurisdiction) pursuant to this Section 3.5, Wachovia shall
not be deemed to be in default of the applicable Lease or this Master
Agreement.  In the event such dispute is resolved in favor of
Wachovia, the amounts held by such Depositary (including interest thereon, if
any) (or, as the case may be, a court of competent jurisdiction) shall be
immediately released to Wachovia, and Master Landlord shall, within one (1)
Business Day following the issuance of such ruling, pay to Wachovia an
additional amount equal to the excess of (x) interest on the amount paid to the
Depositary (or, as the case may be, a court of competent jurisdiction) pursuant
to this Section 3.5 at the Applicable Rate from the date such amounts were paid
to the Depositary (or, as the case may be, a court of competent jurisdiction)
until the date such funds were returned to Wachovia, over (y) the interest (if
any) earned on the amounts paid to the Depositary and, as required hereby,
returned therewith to Wachovia. In the event such dispute is resolved against
Wachovia, the amounts held by such Depositary (including interest thereon, if
any) (or, as the case may be, a court of competent jurisdiction) shall be
immediately released to the party entitled to such funds, and Wachovia shall,
within one (1) Business Day following the issuance of such ruling, pay to such
party an additional amount equal to the excess of (xx) interest on the amount
paid to the Depositary (or, as the case may be, a court of competent
jurisdiction) pursuant to this Section 3.5 at the Applicable Rate from the date
such amounts were paid to the Depositary (or, as the case may be, a court of
competent jurisdiction) until the date such funds were returned to such party,
over (yy) the interest (if any) earned on the amounts paid to the Depositary
and, as required hereby, returned therewith to such party.

    4.           Certain Notices under
Non-Integrated Leases. With respect to all Non-Integrated Leases,
Wachovia agrees that (i) for so long as the Tenant under such Non-Integrated
Lease is a Wachovia Party, Wachovia agrees to notify Master Landlord, in
writing, promptly following (x) the addition of any Coterminous Former Release
Premises under such Lease pursuant to Section 1.7 thereof,
and (y) the addition of any Coterminous Expansion Space under such Lease, during
the Initial Term thereof, pursuant to Article X thereof,
and (ii) whether or not the Tenant under such Non-Integrated Lease is a Wachovia
Party, Wachovia agrees to notify Master Landlord promptly following Wachovia's
exercise of Wachovia's Termination Rights under such Lease pursuant to Article XI
thereof.

     

    5.           Determinations of Available
Termination Rights Area. Whenever there is a change (whether an increase
or decrease) in the Available Termination Rights Area, Master Landlord shall,
within thirty (30) days following the occurrence of (or, if later, Master
Landlord's receipt of notice of) each applicable event, deliver to Wachovia a
written statement setting forth Master Landlord's updated determination of the
Available Termination Rights Area, and the various components thereof, and, in
which event, Wachovia shall promptly advise Master Landlord, in writing, if
Wachovia disagrees with Master Landlord's updated determination of the Available
Termination Rights Area. In addition, (i) from time to time, upon not less than
thirty (30) days written request from Wachovia, Master Landlord shall deliver to
Wachovia a written statement setting forth Master Landlord's then determination
of the Available Termination Rights Area, and the various components thereof,
and, in which event, Wachovia shall promptly advise Master Landlord, in writing,
if Wachovia disagrees with Master Landlord's then determination of the Available
Termination Rights Area, and (ii) from time to time, upon not less than thirty
(30) days written request from Master Landlord, Wachovia shall deliver to Master
Landlord a written statement setting forth Wachovia's then determination of the
Available Termination Rights Area, and the various components thereof, and, in
which event, Master Landlord shall promptly advise Wachovia, in writing, if
Master Landlord disagrees with Wachovia's then determination of the Available
Termination Rights Area.

     

    6.           Restriction on Transfers of
Group A Properties.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in any of the Leases, Master Landlord hereby covenants to
Wachovia that it shall not effect any LL Transfer (other than an Exempt LL
Transfer) under such Group A Lease until after the expiration of the Preliminary
Period.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        12

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    7.           Designation of Coterminous
Former Release Premises.  If any Coterminous Former Release
Premises are added to the Leased Premises under any Lease pursuant to Section 1.7 thereof,
then Tenant, within thirty (30) days after Release Premises Election Date, shall
deliver to Master Landlord a notice designating such Coterminous Former Release
Premises as either (i) Type A
Coterminous Former Release Premises (herein called "Type A Coterminous Former
Release Premises"), i.e., Coterminous
Former Release Premises that will give rise to Type III Termination Rights Area,
or (ii) Type B Coterminous
Former Release Premises (herein called "Type B Coterminous Former
Release Premises"), i.e., Coterminous
Former Release Premises that will give rise to Type IV Termination Rights Area
and also be included in the determination of the Capitalization Factor Occupancy
Percentage (as defined in Exhibit E hereto).
Tenant may designate some portions of any Coterminous Former Release Premises as
Type A Coterminous Former Release Premises and other portions thereof as Type B
Coterminous Former Release Premises. If, as of the date that is thirty (30) days
after Release Premises Election Date, any Coterminous Former Release Premises
has not been designated by Tenant as either Type A Coterminous Former Release
Premises or Type B Coterminous Former Release Premises, then such theretofore
undesignated Coterminous Former Release Premises shall be deemed designated as
Type A Coterminous Former Release Premises.

     

    8.           Final Determination of
Initial ABR Factor.  If any Type B Coterminous Former Release
Premises are added to the Leased Premises under any Lease pursuant to Section 1.7 thereof,
then, effective as of the first day following the expiration of the Preliminary
Period (the "Re-Determination Effective
Date"), the Initial ABR Factor under all of the then Integrated Leases
shall be changed in accordance with the following:

     

    (a)           First,
a computation factor (herein called the "Computation Factor")
shall be determined as the quotient of (i) the aggregate
of all Property Amounts for all Lease Properties, divided by (ii) by the Net
Rentable Area of all the Base Leased Premises under all Leases. The term Property Amount, for each
Lease Property, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto on Exhibit E
hereto.

     

    (b)           Second,
the Computation Factor, as so determined, shall be compared to the Initial ABR
Factor initially applicable under all the Leases (and determined, as of the
Commencement Date, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement), and (i) if the
Computation Factor is higher than such Initial ABR Factor (such a Computation
Factor being herein called a "Higher Computation
Factor", and the excess of such Computation Factor over such Initial ABR
Factor being herein called the "Positive Incremental
Rate"), then the Initial ABR Factor under each of the Integrated Leases
shall be changed pursuant to the provisions of Section 8(c) below, and (ii) if
the Computation Factor is lower than such Initial ABR Factor (such a Computation
Factor being herein called a "Lower Computation
Factor", and the excess of such Initial ABR Factor over such Computation
Factor being herein called the "Negative Incremental
Rate"), then the Initial ABR Factor under each of the Integrated Leases
shall be changed pursuant to the provisions of Section 8(d) below. It is
understood and agreed that the Initial ABR Factor under the Non-Integrated
Leases shall not be affected by any determination under this Section
8.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        13

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (c)           If
the aforementioned determination results in a Higher Computation Factor, then,
effective as of the Re-Determination Effective Date, the Initial ABR Factor
under each of the Integrated Leases shall be changed to be the sum of (I) such Higher
Computation Factor, plus (II) a rate, per
rentable square foot, per annum, equal to the product of (1) the Positive
Incremental Rate, multiplied
by (2) a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the Net Rentable Area of
all the Base Leased Premises under all the Non-Integrated Leases, and (y) the
denominator of which is the Net Rentable Area of all the Base Leased Premises
under all the Integrated Leases.

     

    (d)           If
the aforementioned re-determination results in a Lower Computation Factor, then,
effective as of the Re-Determination Effective Date, the Initial ABR Factor
under each of the Integrated Leases shall be changed to be a rate, per rentable
square foot, per annum, equal to (I) such Lower Computation Factor, minus (II) a rate,
per rentable square foot, per annum, equal to the product of (1) the Negative
Incremental Rate, multiplied
by (2) a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the Net Rentable Area of
all the Base Leased Premises under all the Non-Integrated Leases, and (y) the
denominator of which is the Net Rentable Area of all the Base Leased Premises
under all the Integrated Leases.

     

    (e)           An
illustration of the re-determination of the Initial ABR Factor under the
Integrated Leases pursuant to this Section 8 is set forth in Exhibit F
hereto.

     

    9.           [Intentionally
Omitted].

     

    10.         Tenant's Reimbursement
Amount under Integrated Wachovia Leases.

     

    10.1           Pursuant
to Section 5.7(b)(4) of each Lease, Tenant, following the Landlord's performance
of Demising Work, may be obligated to pay Landlord a sum on account thereof,
which sum is defined in each Lease as Tenant's Reimbursement
Amount.

     

    10.2           If,
pursuant to Section 5.7(b)(4) of any Integrated Wachovia Lease, Tenant is
obligated to pay any Tenant's Reimbursement Amount, then, in addition to the
Tenant's payment options in respect thereof that are set forth such Section
5.7(b)(4) of such Integrated Lease, Wachovia (as, or on behalf of, such Tenant,
as the case may be) shall have the right to cause such Tenant's Reimbursement
Amount to be financed by the Master Landlord pursuant to this Section 10.2, by
delivering a notice to such effect to Master Landlord on or prior to the date on
which the first installment of the Tenant's Reimbursement Amount becomes dues
and payable; and, in any such case, (i) the Tenant shall be completely relieved
of the obligation to pay the same to the Landlord under such Lease), and (ii)
Wachovia, in lieu thereof, shall repay the Master Landlord the amount thereof on
an amortized basis over the balance of the Initial Term of the Leases
(regardless of whether the pertinent Integrated Wachovia Lease under which such
Tenant Reimbursement Amount initially arose continues in effect for the entirety
of such Initial Term), with an interest factor using a rate equal to the Prime
Rate (in effect as of the completion of the pertinent Demising Work), in which
event, Tenant shall pay such amount, as so amortized, through equal monthly
payments payable on the first day of each month then remaining in Initial
Term.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        14

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    11.         Integration of Master
Agreement and Leases. This Master Agreement has been executed and
delivered by Wachovia, N.A. and Master Landlord contemporaneous with the
execution and delivery of each of the Leases. With respect to each Integrated
Lease, (i) this Master Agreement shall be deemed integrated into, and shall form
a material part of, such Lease as if such provisions were fully set forth in
each Integrated Lease; (ii) such Lease shall be deemed integrated into, and
shall form a material part of, this Master Agreement; and (iii) to the extent
any provisions of this Master Agreement are expressly referenced in one or more
provisions of any such Lease, such referenced provisions of this Master
Agreement shall be deemed incorporated into such provisions of such Lease, as
fully as if expressly set forth therein.

     

    12.         Parties to this Master
Agreement.  This Master Agreement is an agreement solely among
(i) Wachovia, (ii) Master Landlord and (iii) each Landlord under a Lease which,
at the time in question, is an Integrated Lease. Each Landlord under an
Integrated Lease is a party to this Master Agreement for purposes of binding
such Landlord to the terms and conditions set forth in this Master Agreement
(and effectuating the integration of this Master Agreement into such Integrated
Lease, as more particularly provided in Section 11 hereof); it being understood
that in no event shall any such Landlord have any rights hereunder separate and
apart from the rights of Master Landlord (which may be exercised only by Master
Landlord). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Designated Portfolio Lender (even
prior to its delivery of a DPL Acceleration Notice) shall have the full right
and authority to enforce all of the rights granted to it (and shall have the
obligations imposed upon it) under Sections 3.4, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19 and 21 of
this Master Agreement . No interest of any party hereto shall be assigned (or
otherwise transferred), except as expressly permitted under either this Section
12 or Section 13 hereof. In that regard, it is agreed as follows:

     

    (a)           This
Master Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, Wachovia
N.A. and any of its successor(s) included within the definition of Wachovia
hereunder. Upon any change in the person constituting Wachovia hereunder, the
interest of Wachovia in this Master Agreement (inclusive of all rights and
obligations of Wachovia hereunder) shall automatically (and without any act
being required by any party) be deemed assigned to, and assumed by, the person
becoming Wachovia; it being
agreed, however, that, without in any way limiting the foregoing, (i) any
person becoming Wachovia shall promptly notify Master Landlord thereof (and
shall, upon request made by Master Landlord, confirm such assignment and
assumption by written instrument), and (ii) Wachovia N.A. shall not be released
of its obligations under this Master Agreement as a result of such events.
Except for such an automatic assignment, Wachovia may not assign its interest in
this Master Agreement.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        15

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (b)           This
Master Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of Master
Landlord Named Herein (as Master Landlord), and, as applicable, (I) any person
that shall acquire the interest of Master Landlord hereunder pursuant to an
assignment required under Section 13.3 hereof, or (II) any person that shall
acquire the interest of Master Landlord hereunder pursuant to an assignment
permitted under Section 13.4 hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, (i) Master Landlord Named Herein shall have absolutely no
right to assign its interest in this Master Agreement as Master Landlord, except
(x) for a collateral assignment to a Designated Portfolio Lender, or (y)
pursuant to a required assignment of the interest of Master Landlord hereunder
pursuant to Section 13.3 hereof, and (ii) for so long as Master Landlord Named
Herein shall be the Master Landlord hereunder (i.e., unless and until such a
required assignment under Section 13.3 hereof shall occur), Master Landlord
Named Herein shall be and remain a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of FSG, the
Designated Mezzanine Lender or its DML Nominee or any DML Transferee, except as
may result from a transfer or other conveyance of all or a portion of the
membership interests in Master Landlord Named Herein (or in any person having a
direct or indirect ownership in such Master Landlord Named Herein) effected
pursuant to a court proceeding (pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any
similar federal or state law) involving the bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization of FSG. From and after the required assignment of the interest of
Master Landlord hereunder pursuant to Section 13.3 hereof, the Master Landlord,
from time to time, shall have the right to assign the interest as Master
Landlord hereunder subject to the provisions of Section 13.4
hereof.

     

    (c)           This
Master Agreement shall also be binding upon Master Landlord Named Herein (as the
initial Landlord under each Lease, for so long as (x) it shall remain Landlord
under such Lease, and (y) such Lease shall remain an Integrated Lease). If
either Master Landlord Named Herein, or any subsequent Landlord under an
Integrated Lease, shall transfer the Landlord's Estate under such Lease (i.e., such transferee shall
become the Landlord under such Lease), then (i) if such Lease shall remain an
Integrated Lease (notwithstanding such transfer), then (x) such transferee, as
the new Landlord under the Lease, shall be deemed to have assumed all of the
obligations under this Master Agreement as the Landlord as to such Integrated
Lease hereunder, and (y) Master Landlord shall cause such new Landlord,
simultaneously with its becoming the new Landlord under such Integrated Lease,
to acknowledge such assumption by a written instrument executed and delivered by
such new Landlord in favor of Wachovia, and (ii) if such Lease shall as a result
of such transfer, shall become a Non-Integrated Lease, then such transferee, as
the new Landlord under the Lease, shall not become a party to this Master
Agreement.

    13.         Master Landlord Rights;
Succession.

     

    13.1           During
any period that there shall exist a Portfolio Lender, Master Landlord may elect
to designate such Portfolio Lender as the "Designated Portfolio Lender",
provided, however, that any such designation shall only be effective if made
pursuant to a written notice sent by Master Landlord to Wachovia (herein called
a "DPL Designation Notice"), which
notice shall (1) set forth such designation as irrevocable (subject only to the
provisions of this Section 13.1), (2) expressly provide (with reference to
Section 13.2 hereof) that such Portfolio Lender, by reason of such designation,
shall be entitled to serve the DPL Acceleration Notice and that Wachovia shall
be irrevocably authorized to rely on any DPL Acceleration Notice purportedly
sent to it by such Designated Portfolio Lender or any successor Designated
Portfolio Lender designated pursuant to a DPL Substitution Notice, and (3) be
accompanied by a written instrument, executed by such Designated Portfolio
Lender in which it (x) sets forth its address(es) for notices, and (y) agrees to
comply with the obligations imposed upon the Designated Portfolio Lender (in its
capacity as such) under Sections 13 and 17 of this Master Agreement (subject, in
each case, to the provisions of Section 21 of this Master Agreement). The term
"Designated Portfolio
Lender" shall mean (i) any Portfolio Lender designated by Master Landlord
or a DPL Successor as the Designated Portfolio Lender
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.1 and (ii) any successor
Portfolio Lender designated as the Designated Portfolio Lender pursuant to a DPL
Substitution Notice; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall
there ever be more than one (1) Designated Portfolio Lender hereunder. Once a
Portfolio Lender has been designated as the Designated Portfolio Lender, such
Designated Portfolio Lender shall have the right to assign its rights as the
Designated Portfolio Lender to a successor Portfolio Lender and simultaneously
resign as the Designated Portfolio Lender pursuant to a written notice (a "DPL Substitution
Notice") sent by the assigning Designated Portfolio Lender to Wachovia,
which notice shall (1) set forth such resignation of the assigning Designated
Portfolio Lender and the designation of the new Designated Portfolio Lender as
irrevocable (subject only to the provisions of this Section 13.1), and (2)
expressly provide (with reference to Section 13.2 hereof) that such new
Designated Portfolio Lender, by reason of such designation, shall be entitled to
serve the DPL Acceleration Notice and that Wachovia shall be irrevocably
authorized to rely on any DPL Acceleration Notice purportedly sent to it by such
new Designated Portfolio Lender. The designation of a Designated Portfolio
Lender may be revoked only pursuant to a written notice to Wachovia (i) in the
case of a DPL Substitution Notice, executed by the assigning Designated
Portfolio Lender and the new Designated Portfolio Lender or (ii) in connection
with a revocation (other than in connection with an assignment pursuant to a DPL
Substitution Notice), by both the Designated Portfolio Lender and Master
Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event
shall any Portfolio Lender (other than the single Designated Portfolio Lender
that may, from time to time, be designated hereunder pursuant to this Section
13.1) have any rights or standing under this Master Agreement.

     

    13.2           (a)           The
Designated Portfolio Lender may deliver to Wachovia a notice indicating that
such Designated Portfolio Lender has accelerated its Portfolio Loan (a "DPL Acceleration
Notice"). Prior to the delivery of a DPL Acceleration Notice to Wachovia,
only Master Landlord shall have the right to exercise all of the rights of
Master Landlord under this Master Agreement.  Following the delivery
of a DPL Acceleration Notice to Wachovia, the Designated Portfolio Lender (or a
DPL Nominee that is identified in the DPL Acceleration Notice) shall
automatically (and without any further act of any party hereto) have the
exclusive right to exercise all of the rights of Master Landlord under this
Master Agreement on Master Landlord's behalf (i.e., Master Landlord
shall no longer have any right to exercise any of the rights of Master Landlord
hereunder); provided, however, that, at the
same time, Master Landlord shall continue to have full liability for all its
obligations hereunder, including its full liability for all acts and omissions
of the Designated Portfolio Lender (or a DPL Nominee) taken (or not taken) in
connection with the exercise of any of the rights of Master Landlord hereunder.
Master Landlord hereby irrevocably (i) authorizes Wachovia to rely on any DPL
Acceleration Notice purportedly sent to it by a Designated Portfolio Lender,
(ii) authorizes Wachovia to rely on the exercise of all rights of Master
Landlord under this Master Agreement by the Designated Portfolio Lender (or the
DPL Nominee that is identified in the DPL Acceleration Notice), and (iii)
acknowledges and agrees to its continuing full liability for all of its
obligations hereunder (notwithstanding that its rights can only be exercised by
the Designated Portfolio Lender or a DPL Nominee, and not by it), including its
full liability for all acts and omissions of the Designated Portfolio Lender (or
a DPL Nominee) taken (or not taken) in connection with the exercise of any of
the rights of Master Landlord hereunder. Following the delivery of a DPL
Acceleration Notice, a Designated Portfolio Lender covenants to Wachovia that it
shall proceed in good faith in enforcing its remedies under its Portfolio
Loan.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        17

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

     
(b)           After the
delivery of a DPL Acceleration Notice to Wachovia, the same may be rescinded by
the Designated Portfolio Lender, but only pursuant to a written notice of
rescission to Wachovia executed by the Designated Portfolio Lender (and, if
applicable, the DPL Nominee that was identified in the DPL Acceleration Notice)
(such notice being herein called an "Acceleration Rescission
Notice"). Upon delivery of the Acceleration Rescission Notice, the
Designated Portfolio Lender shall no longer be entitled to exercise the rights
of Master Landlord hereunder, and, accordingly, Master Landlord shall again be
entitled to exercise such rights; provided, however, that (i)
Master Landlord shall continue to have full liability for all acts and omissions
of the Designated Portfolio Lender (or its DPL Nominee) taken (or not taken) in
connection with the exercise of any of the rights of Master Landlord hereunder
during the period after the delivery of the DPL Acceleration Notice and prior to
the delivery of the Acceleration Rescission Notice, and (ii) such change in the
party entitled to exercise the rights of Master Landlord hereunder shall be
without liability or prejudice to Wachovia hereunder, and, without limiting the
generality thereof, any act or omission taken (or not taken) by Wachovia
hereunder during such period shall be conclusively deemed valid and proper
hereunder (and binding upon the parties hereto), so long as such act or omission
was valid and proper hereunder (and binding upon the parties hereto) based on
the rights and obligations of the parties hereto during such
period.

     

    13.3           On
the Enforcement Completion Date, the Designated Portfolio Lender covenants to
Wachovia that it shall effectuate an assignment of the interest of Master
Landlord hereunder to one (and only one) of the following persons: (I) itself,
(II) its DPL Nominee, or (III) a person that (together with its Wholly-Owned
Subsidiaries) owns the Landlord's Estate in a majority of the then Integrated
Leases. Such required assignment shall be effected pursuant to a written
instrument in which the assignee shall be assigned, and shall assume, the
interest of Master Landlord, in each case, as to the rights and obligations of
Master Landlord accruing from and after the date of such assignment. Upon the
occurrence of the Enforcement Completion Date, the Designated Portfolio Lender
shall notify Wachovia thereof, which notice shall (i) indicate the person to
whom interest of Master Landlord hereunder has been assigned under this Section
13.3 (i.e., the new
Master Landlord), and (ii) be accompanied by a true and complete copy of the
aforementioned assignment instrument. Master Landlord hereby agrees that
Designated Portfolio Lender shall have the sole right and authority to
effectuate such required assignment, on its behalf, and, in that regard (and in
addition to any rights granted to Designated Portfolio Lender under the
documents evidencing and securing its Portfolio Loan), Master Landlord hereby
irrevocably appoints the Designated Portfolio Lender as its attorney-in-fact to
execute (on its behalf) the aforementioned assignment instrument, and all other
documents needed to effectuate such required assignment. Upon the Enforcement
Completion Date (and such required assignment being effectuated), the Designated
Portfolio Lender shall lose its status as a Designated Portfolio
Lender.

     

    13.4           From
and after the required assignment of the interest of Master Landlord hereunder
pursuant to Section 13.3 hereof, Master Landlord, from time to time, shall have
the right to thereafter assign the interest of Master Landlord hereunder to any
person; provided, however, that (1) no
such assignment shall be permitted unless effected pursuant to a written
instrument in which the assignee shall be assigned, and shall assume, the
interest of Master Landlord, in each case, as to the rights and obligations of
Master Landlord accruing from and after the date of such assignment, and (2) no
such assignment shall be effective until Wachovia shall receive a notice
thereof, from (and executed by) both the assignor and assignee thereunder, which
notice shall be accompanied by a true and complete copy of the aforementioned
assignment instrument.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        18

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    13.5           Without
limiting or expanding the definition of Non-Integration Event as herein-above
set forth, it is understood that an assignment permitted under this Section 13
may nevertheless result in a Non-Integration Event as to one or more
Leases.

     

    14.          Designated Mezzanine
Lender.

     

    14.1           During
any period that there shall exist a Mezzanine Lender, Master Landlord may elect
to designate such Mezzanine Lender as the “Designated Mezzanine Lender”, provided, however,
that any such designation shall only be effective if made pursuant to a written
notice sent by Master Landlord to Wachovia (herein called a “DML Designation
Notice”), which notice shall (1) set forth such designation as
irrevocable (subject only to the provisions of this Section 14.1) and (2) be
accompanied by a written instrument, executed by such Designated Mezzanine
Lender in which it indicates that it is a Mezzanine Lender and sets forth its
address(es) for notices.  The term “Designated Mezzanine
Lender”
shall mean (i) any Mezzanine Lender designated by Master Landlord pursuant to
the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.1 and (ii) any successor Mezzanine
Lender designated as the Designated Mezzanine Lender pursuant to a DML
Substitution Notice; provided, however, that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall
there ever by more than one (1) Designated Mezzanine Lender.  Once a
Mezzanine Lender has been designated as the Designated Mezzanine Lender, such
Designated Mezzanine Lender shall have the right to assign its rights as
Designated Mezzanine Lender to a successor Mezzanine Lender and simultaneously
resign as the Designated Mezzanine Lender pursuant to a written notice (a “DML Substitution
Notice”) sent by the assigning Designated Mezzanine Lender to Wachovia,
which notice shall set forth such resignation of the assigning Designated
Mezzanine Lender and the designation of the new Designated Mezzanine Lender as
irrevocable (subject only to the provisions of this Section
14.1).  The designation of a Designated Mezzanine Lender may be
revoked only pursuant to a written notice to Wachovia (i) in the case of a DML
Substitution Notice, executed by the assigning Designated Mezzanine Lender and
the new Designated Mezzanine Lender or (ii) in connection with a revocation
(other than in connection with an assignment pursuant to a DML Substitution
Notice), by both the Designated Mezzanine Lender and Master
Landlord.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
in no event shall any Mezzanine Lender (other than the single Designated
Mezzanine Lender that may, from time to time, be designated hereunder pursuant
to this Section 14.1) have any rights or standing under this
Agreement.

     

    14.2           The
Designated Mezzanine Lender shall deliver to Wachovia, when applicable, (a) a
notice indicating that such Designated Mezzanine Lender is exercising any of its
remedies with respect to its Mezzanine Loan, and (b) a notice indicating that
such Designated Mezzanine Lender is the owner of one hundred percent (100%) of
the membership interests in Master Landlord.  Master Landlord hereby
irrevocably authorizes Wachovia to rely on such notices purportedly sent to
Wachovia by a Designated Mezzanine Lender.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        19

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    15.          Defaults and
Remedies.

     

    (a)           No
Lease is cross-defaulted with any other Leases. The provisions of this Master
Agreement constitute a part each Integrated Lease, and, thus, any default under
the provisions of this Master Agreement as the same relates to an Integrated
Lease, shall be a default under such Integrated Lease; provided, however, that no such
default under the provisions of this Master Agreement shall ever constitute a
basis for Landlord having a right to terminate such Integrated Lease (or any
other Lease).

     

    (b)           In
the event that any party shall default in its obligations under this Master
Agreement, then the other parties hereto shall have all rights and remedies
available to it at law, or in equity, on account of such default (including,
without limitation, injunctive relief); provided, however, that in no
event shall any party have any right to terminate this Master Agreement by
reason of any default hereunder by any other party.

     

    16.           Interest on Overdue
Amounts.  If any sum is owed by any party hereto to another
party hereto pursuant to the terms of this Master Agreement, and the party owing
such sum does not pay the same on the due date thereof, then such past-due sum
shall bear interest, at the Applicable Rate, from the date due thereof until
payment is made, but only if such party's failure to pay such sums shall
continue for a period of five (5) Business Days after notice of such failure
from the other party, which notice shall refer to this Section 15 and state, in
all capital letters (or other prominent display), that such party's failure to

execute, within twelve (12) Business Days from the date of receipt of the
request, from time to time, a written instrument (i) certifying that this Master

instruments of Master Landlord and Wachovia under this Section 17, and, in any
such event, the party of whom such request is made shall deliver such a written
instrument within twelve (12) Business Days after request. Furthermore, the

omissions hereunder, and notices sent by it, or on its behalf, and, in any such
event, it agrees to deliver the same within twelve (12) Business Days after

evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Wachovia, as to any matter affecting the
status of any Lease as either an Integrated Lease or Non-Integrated Lease,
and/or the various facts and circumstances giving rise thereto (including
information as to the entities holding title to any Lease

courier service, or (iii) by personal delivery, and as follows: (a) any notice

Landlord at such address(es) shall be deemed sent to, and received by, any and
all Landlords that are parties hereto) with copies of all notices sent to the
Designated Portfolio Lender and the Designated Mezzanine Lender; and (b) any
notice sent by Master Landlord shall be sent to Wachovia, at Wachovia's notice

Landlord, Wachovia and any Designated Portfolio Lender shall have the right to
change its notice address(es) (by addition and/or subtraction) by giving the
notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Section 18; provided that (x) such notice
of any such change shall become effective only upon such notice being deemed
given hereunder, and (y) neither Master Landlord, Wachovia or a Designated
Portfolio Lender may designate more than five (5) notice address(es), in total,
as its notice address(es). Any notice sent by any party pursuant to this Section
18 shall set forth the address of the Portfolio Property.

    19.          Miscellaneous.  No
term or provision hereof may be amended or modified, but only by an instrument
that (i) is signed by the party against whom enforcement thereof is sought, and
(ii) has been approved by the Designated Portfolio Lender. Any provision of this
Master Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall,
as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. This Master
Agreement and the rights and obligations in respect hereof shall be governed by,
and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New
York, except where the laws of the State where a particular Portfolio Property
is located requires that such State's laws must apply. All headings are for
reference only and shall not be considered as part of this Master Agreement.
This Master Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which shall be an original, and such counterparts together shall constitute but
one and the same instrument.

     

    20.          Conflicts; No
Representations.  In the event of any conflict between the
terms and conditions of this Master Agreement and the terms and conditions of
the Leases, the terms and conditions of this Master Agreement shall be
controlling. No representations or warranties have been made by Master Landlord,
any Landlord or Wachovia except as specifically set forth in this Master
Agreement (or, as to any Landlord and Wachovia, the Leases), and no oral or
written expression or non-verbal conduct of a person intended by such person a
substitute for oral or written expression will be attributed to Master Landlord,
any Landlord or Wachovia, except as specifically set forth in this Master
Agreement (or, as to any Landlord and Wachovia, the Leases).

     

    21.          Liability of Master Landlord
and Landlords; Wachovia's Recourse.

     

    21.1           Subject
to the provisions of Sections 21.2 and 21.3 hereof, at all times, Master
Landlord, and all Landlords under all Integrated Leases, shall be jointly and
severally liable for (i) all the obligations of Master Landlord under this
Master Agreement, and (ii) all the obligations of all the Landlords under all
the Integrated Leases.

     

    21.2           Wachovia
specifically agrees to look solely to the following interests, collectively, for
the recovery of any monetary judgment under this Master Agreement or any of the
Integrated Leases against Master Landlord or any of the Landlords under
Integrated Leases: (a) the interest of the Master Landlord under this Master
Agreement; and (b) the interests of the Landlords, under the Integrated Leases,
in the Lease Properties subject to such Integrated Leases (which interests shall
be deemed to include the rent and other income or proceeds derived from such
Leased Properties). Neither Master Landlord, nor any Landlord under an
Integrated Lease, shall ever be personally liable (i.e., liable beyond such
interests) for any such judgment or for any other liability or obligation under
this Master Agreement or any Lease. The provision contained in the foregoing
sentence is not intended to, and shall not, limit any right that Wachovia might
otherwise have (i) to obtain injunctive relief (or other equitable relief)
against Master Landlord, or any Landlord under an Integrated Lease, or any other
person, (ii) to offset sums due and owing to Wachovia against the Rent under any
Integrated Lease, or (iii) to prosecute any suit or action in connection with
enforcement of Wachovia’s rights hereunder or the obligations of Master Landlord
hereunder, or any Landlord under an Integrated Lease.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        23

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    21.3           The
liability of, and Wachovia's recourse against, any Designated Portfolio Lender
(or any DPL Nominee) that shall become either (i) the Master Landlord hereunder
or (ii) the Landlord under any Integrated Lease, shall, in that capacity, be
governed by the foregoing provisions of this Section 21 (which liability and
recourse provisions shall apply as fully to them as to other persons owning such
interests). However, the liability of, and Wachovia's recourse against, any
Designated Portfolio Lender (or its DPL Nominee), in its capacity as a
Designated Portfolio Lender (or a DPL Nominee), for failing to comply with its
obligations under Sections 13 and 17 of this Master Agreement, shall be limited
to the following interests: (x) the interest of the Designated Portfolio Lender
under its Portfolio Loan, and (y) the Designated Portfolio Lender's interest in
this Master Agreement (and the Designated Portfolio Lender agrees that such
Portfolio Loan and such interest in this Master Agreement shall be subject to
the claims of Wachovia whether such claims arise from its actions or those of
its DPL Nominee). No Designated Portfolio Lender (or DPL Nominee) shall ever be
personally liable (i.e., liable beyond such
interests) for any such judgment or for any other liability or obligation under
this Master Agreement or any Lease . The provision contained in the foregoing
sentence is not intended to, and shall not, limit any right that Wachovia might
otherwise have (i) to obtain injunctive relief (or other equitable relief)
against Designated Portfolio Lender (or DPL Nominee) or any other person, or
(ii) to prosecute any suit or action in connection with enforcement of
Wachovia’s rights under Sections 13 and 17 of this Master Agreement or the
obligations of the Designated Portfolio Lender under Sections 13 and 17 of this
Master Agreement.
