4.    [Intentionally Deleted] 

 

5.    Possession; Tenant Improvements . 

 

(a)    Tenant agrees to take and accept the New Space from Landlord in its present as-is condition and as suited for the use intended by Tenant, except for such improvements as may be expressly provided for in the Tenant Improvement Agreement attached hereto and made a part hereto as Exhibit "B" (the "Tenant Improvement Agreement"). Provided Tenant is not in default under the Lease, Landlord agrees to construct or install in the New Space the "Tenant Improvements," as defined in and to be constructed or installed pursuant to the provisions of said Tenant Improvement Agreement. It is understood that such "Tenant Improvements" shall consist of painting, wall cover, mill work and other finish items with respect to the portion of the Premises which remain after the Contraction Date and, with respect to the Conference Room only, shall consist of customary tenant improvements and shall be similar in size, finish and quality to the Existing Conference Room. Tenant agrees to comply with all the terms and provisions of the Tenant Improvement Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay, as additional rent, all amounts due Landlord under Paragraph 3 thereof according to the payment provisions contained in said Paragraph 3. No delay in delivery of the Tenant Improvements shall render the Lease void or voidable, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damages resulting there from. No such delay shall operate to relieve Tenant of Tenant’s obligations to Landlord as provided in the Lease, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay Base Rental. 

(b)    Tenant acknowledges that a portion of the Tenant Improvements are to be constructed during Tenant’s occupancy of the New Space. With respect 1o those portions of the New Space located within the Premises, Tenant agrees to provide access to such space to Landlord in order to allow Landlord to undertake the Tenant Improvements and, in connection therewith, there shall not be any abatement of Base Rental or other sums due Landlord under the Lease as a result of Tenant’s inability to use all or any portion of the New Space during the period of such construction. 

 

(c)    It shall be a condition to Landlord’s obligation to fund any of the "Landlord’s Allowance for Tenant Improvement Costs," as defined in the Tenant Improvement Agreement, that the cost for any such improvements to be paid for from the Landlord’s Allowance for Tenant Improvement Costs shall not exceed the aggregate sum of $16.00 per rentable square foot of the portion of the New Space (exclusive of the Conference Room) as to which such improvements are to be made, it being the intent of the parties hereto that Landlord’s Allowance for Tenant Improvement Costs shall be utilized by Tenant on a pro-rata basis throughout the New Space (exclusive of the Conference Room) and not utilized in such a fashion as to cause any portion or portions of the New Space (exclusive of the Conference Room) to be improved to a materially greater extent than other portions. Tenant’s rights under this Paragraph 5 and under the Tenant Improvement Agreement to have Landlord build out the Tenant Improvements is personal to Tenant and shall become null and void upon the occurrence of an assignment of the Lease or a sublet of all or any portion of the Premises. Further, as a condition to Tenant’s rights under this Paragraph 5 and the Tenant Improvement Agreement, Tenant shall be in occupancy of substantially all of the New Space. 

(d)    Upon request of Landlord, within twenty (20) days after the New Space has been substantially completed in accordance with the Tenant Improvement Agreement, Tenant will execute and deliver to Landlord a Tenant Acceptance Agreement in the form attached to the Lease as Exhibit "C." The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all of such Tenant Improvements are to be completed and paid for no later than March 1, 2004. Accordingly, if and to the extent any portion of the funds to be paid by Landlord pursuant to the Tenant Improvement Agreement have not been disbursed by March 1, 2004 (other than as a result of the default of Landlord), such unused funds shall be retained by Landlord and shall no longer be available for use by Tenant in accordance with the Tenant Improvement Agreement. 

(e)    At Landlord’s expense, Landlord shall renovate the restrooms located on the 12th floor of the Building to a finish similar to the restrooms located on the other floors on the Building, such renovation to be completed on or about the date required for completion of the Tenant Improvements contemplated above in the New Space. 

6.    Excused Rent . Provided Tenant is not then in default under this Lease, Landlord shall conditionally excuse the payment of all of the Base Rental due with respect to the Premises (under the Lease as modified by the First Amendment to Lease Agreement) for the five (5) month period commencing on the Contraction Date and ending on July 31, 2003. The sum of (i) aggregate amounts of Base Rental excused pursuant to the preceding sentence; (ii) the aggregate amounts of Base Rental excused pursuant to that certain Twelfth Amendment to Lease Agreement between Landlord and Tenant, dated of even date herewith (which provides for the excuse of payment of portions of Base Rental for the months of November and December 2002); and (iii) all credits applied by Tenant against the payment of Base Rental pursuant to Section 3.02(a) of the Tenant Improvement Agreement attached to this Lease as Exhibit B , are herein referred to, collectively, as the "Excused Rent." Upon any default by Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease which require the payment of money or a default by Tenant under Paragraph 3.1 of this Lease (any such default is hereinafter referred to an "Excused Rent Default"), all provisions of this Lease pertaining to the excuse of payment by Landlord of any Excused Rent shall have no further force and effect and all of such Excused Rent which has been excused for periods prior to the date the Excused Rent Default occurs shall immediately thereafter become due and payable to Landlord in full. Landlord shall waive any rights to payment of Excused Rent if no Excused Rent Default has occurred as of the Expiration Date of this Lease. This Paragraph shall not be deemed to excuse payment of any additional rent or other charges due under this Lease except for the payment of Base Rental payable for the specific periods and in the specific amounts hereinabove described. 

 

7.    Prior Renewal and Expansion Rights . Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that any rights or options of Tenant to expand or enlarge the Premises provided in the Prior Lease have lapsed or have been deleted from the Lease by prior amendment and shall have no further force or effect, including, without limitation, Tenant’s rights of first offer contained in Paragraph 7 of the Amendment to Lease Agreement dated August 23, 1990, and Paragraph 4 of the Third Amendment to Lease Agreement dated August 28, 1992. Further, any rights or options of Tenant to renew or extend the Term of this Lease provided in the Prior Lease have lapsed or have been deleted from the Lease by prior amendment and shall have no further force or effect, including, without limitation, Tenant’s renewal option contained in Paragraph 6 of tile Amendment to Lease Agreement dated August 23, 1990. 

 

8.    Renewal Option . Provided this Lease is then in full force and effect, that Tenant is not in default under this Lease and has not assigned or sublet any portion of the Premises either at the time of the exercise of this renewal option or at the time of the commencement of the Renewal Term, Tenant shall have the right to renew the Lease for one (1) renewal term of five (5) years (the "Renewal Term") upon the following terms and conditions:

Within ten (10) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant's written notice of exercise of this Renewal Option, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the Base Rental for the Renewal Term. Tenant shall have ten (10) days after receipt of such notice from Landlord to respond as to whether or not Tenant desires to rescind its exercise of this Renewal Option. If Tenant elects to rescind its exercise of this Renewal Option or fails to respond within such ten (10) day period, then Tenant’s notice of exercise of this Renewal Option shall be deemed rescinded and this Renewal Option shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect. If Tenant elects to exercise this Renewal Option, the "Base Rental" for the Renewal Term for purposes of Paragraph 1.1 of the Lease shall be an amount equal to the Base Rental set forth in Landlord’s notice as set forth above and shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Paragraph 3 of these Special Stipulations. Except as expressly set forth to the contrary in this Agreement, all other terms of the Lease, except for Paragraphs 5, 6, 8 and 9 of these Special Stipulations, thereof shall apply to the Renewal Term. The "Base Year" with respect to the Renewal Term, for purposes of Paragraph 1.7(c) of the Lease, shall be the calendar year during which the Renewal Term commences. Within thirty (30) days after the commencement of the Renewal Term, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a written amendment to this Lease setting forth the new Expiration Date of the Lease and the Base Rental in effect during the Renewal Term. This Renewal Option is personal to Tenant and shall become null and void upon the occurrence of an assignment of this Lease or a sublet of all or any portion of the Premises, either with or without the consent of Landlord. Further, as a condition to Tenant’s right to exercise this Renewal Option, Tenant shall be in occupancy of all of the Premises.

Until March 1, 2005, and provided the Lease is then in full force and effect and that Tenant is not in default under the Lease and has not assigned or sublet any portion of the Premises, either at the time of Tenant’s election to lease the First Opportunity Space or as of the commencement of this Lease as it relates to the First Opportunity Space, Tenant shall have a right of first opportunity(the "Right of First Opportunity") to lease all (but not less than all, except as provided in subparagraph 8(b), below) of the approximately 10,405 rentable square feet on the 9th floor of the Building, shown as the "First Opportunity Space" on Exhibit "B-l" hereto (collectively, the "First Opportunity Space"), in its then as-is condition, on the following terms and conditions: 

 

(a)    Should Landlord, prior to March 1, 2005, receive interest in leasing all or any portion of the First Opportunity Space on the 9th floor from a bona fide third party prospect, Landlord shall notify Tenant thereof in writing, which notice shall set forth, as the Base Rental for such First Opportunity Space, the then-escalated Base Rental rate on a per square foot basis as then in effect under the Lease with respect to the Premises, with the same allowance for tenant improvements as provided by Landlord to Tenant hereunder with respect to the Premises multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in the remaining Lease Term for said First Opportunity Space and the denominator is 84. 

 

(b)    Tenant shall have five (5) business days after receipt of Landlord’s notice to respond in writing to Landlord as to whether or not Tenant desires to lease the entire First Opportunity Space at the Base Rental and allowance for tenant improvements stated by Landlord in its written notice (such written response by Tenant is hereinafter referred to as a "Tenant Response"). Alternatively, within such five (5) business day period, Tenant may elect in its Tenant Response to lease a portion of the First Opportunity Space at the Base Rental and allowance for tenant improvement stated by Landlord in its written notice subject, however, to Landlord’s determination (in its sole discretion) that the remainder of the First Opportunity Space would be marketable by Landlord to others. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the remainder of the First Opportunity Space shall, in any event, contain no less than 3,000 square feet of rentable area and shall have direct exposure onto the elevator lobby area to be considered "marketable." In the event Tenant desires to lease less than the entire First Opportunity Space, then Tenant shall, in its Tenant Response, designate the area of the First Opportunity Space so desired to be leased by Tenant and Landlord shall then have five (5) business days after its receipt of the Tenant Response to notify Tenant in writing of its determination as to whether the remaining portion of the First Opportunity Space is marketable. In the event Landlord has determined that such remaining space is not marketable, then, within three (3) business days after Tenant's receipt of such determination from Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to elect in writing to lease all of the First Opportunity Space or to cancel its prior Tenant Response. If Tenant elects not to lease such First Opportunity Space, Tenant’s Tenant Response is cancelled as hereinabove provided, or Tenant fails to respond within either of such three (3) day or five (5) day periods, then this Right of First Opportunity shall automatically terminate and Tenant shall have no further right to lease such First Opportunity Space or any portion thereof pursuant to this Paragraph 9 or Paragraph 10 below; provided, however, that in the event that Landlord does not lease any portion or portions of such First Opportunity Space within six (6) months following the end of such five day period, then Tenant shall again have the Right of First Opportunity as to any subsequent leasing or offer to lease by Landlord of such unleased portions of such First Opportunity Space pursuant to the terms herein provided; otherwise Tenant shall have no further right to lease such First Opportunity Space or any portion thereof pursuant to this Paragraph 9 or Paragraph 10 below. In the event Tenant has elected to lease a portion of such First Opportunity Space as hereinabove provided and Landlord has determined that the remainder of such First Opportunity Space is marketable, then all of the remaining terms and provisions of this Paragraph 9 shall be applicable to the leasing of such First Opportunity Space by Tenant and Tenant shall continue to have the right to lease all (but not less than all) of the remainder of the First Opportunity Space pursuant to this Paragraph 9 or Paragraph 10, below, except that such remaining right shall not include the right to lease a portion of such remaining space pursuant to this subparagraph 8(b). 

 

(c)    If Tenant elects to lease such First Opportunity Space, the "Base Rental" for such First Opportunity Space, for purposes of Paragraph 1.1 of this Lease, shall be an amount equal to the Base Rental set forth in Landlord's notice as set forth above, and shall be subject to the annual 1.03 adjustment pursuant to Paragraph 4.2 of this Lease. Base Rental for the First Opportunity Space shall commence on the earlier to occur of (i) thirty (30) days after Tenant’s notice of election to lease such First Opportunity Space, or (ii) the date Tenant first occupies such First Opportunity Space. Except as expressly set forth to the contract in the Lease, from and after the date Tenant is required to pay Base Rental hereunder with respect to such First Opportunity Space, all other terms and conditions of the Lease, except for Paragraphs 5 and 6 of these Special Stipulations, shall apply to such First Opportunity Space and such First Opportunity Space shall be deemed to be a part of the Premises for the remainder of the Term of the Lease. 

(d)    Tenant’s right to lease the First Opportunity Space pursuant to this Paragraph is and shall at all times be subject and subordinate to the rights of other tenants currently in effect with respect to such space, whether exercised or unexercised. This Right of First Opportunity is personal to Tenant and shall become null and void upon the occurrence of an assignment of this Lease or a sublet of all or any portion of the Premises. Further, as a condition to Tenant’s right to lease the First Opportunity Space, Tenant shall be in occupancy of all of the Premises. 

 

(e)    Within thirty (30) days after the commencement of Base Rental for all or any portion of the First Opportunity Space as set forth above, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a written amendment to this Lease setting forth the commencement date of Base Rental for such space, the location and square footage of such space, the annual rent for such space and the increased "Tenant’s Percentage Share" for purposes of Paragraph 1.7(b) of the Lease. The "Base Year" with respect to all or any portion of the First Opportunity Space, for purposes of Paragraph 1.7(c) of the Lease, shall be the year 2003. 

 

10.    Second Right of First Opportunity - 2007 . After March 1, 2005 and until March 1, 2007, and provided the Lease and this Paragraph I0 are then in full force and effect and that Tenant is not in default under the Lease and has not assigned or sublet any portion of the Premises, either at the time of Tenant’s election to lease the First Opportunity Space or as of the commencement of this Lease as it relates to the First Opportunity Space, Tenant shall have a right of first opportunity (the "Second Right of First Opportunity") to lease all (but not less than all, except as provided in subparagraph 9(b), below) of the First Opportunity Space on the 9th floor, in its then as-is condition, on the following terms and conditions: 

 

(a)    Should Landlord, after March 1, 2005 and prior to March 1, 2007, receive interest in leasing all or any portion of the First Opportunity Space on the 9th floor from a bona fide third party prospect, Landlord shall notify Tenant thereof in writing, which notice shall set forth, as the Base Rental for such First Opportunity Space, the then-prevailing rental rate on a per square foot basis as then announced by Landlord for the Building, with such allowance for tenant improvements as are then being provided by Landlord to other expanding tenants in the Building with space comparable to the Premises, but reduced (as in subparagraph 8(a), above), to reflect the number of years remaining in the Lease Term with respect to the First Opportunity Space. 

 

(b)    Tenant shall have five (5) business days after receipt of Landlord’s notice to respond as to whether or not Tenant desires to lease the entire First Opportunity Space at the Base Rental and allowance for tenant improvements stated by Landlord in its written notice (such written response by Tenant is hereinafter referred to as a "Tenant Response"). Alternatively, within such five (5) business day period, Tenant may elect in its Tenant Response to lease a portion of the First Opportunity Space at the Base Rental and allowance for tenant improvements stated by Landlord in its written notice subject, however, to Landlord’s determination (in its sole discretion) that the remainder of the First Opportunity Space would be marketable by Landlord to others. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the remainder of the First Opportunity Space on the 9th floor shall, in any event, contain no less than 3,000 square feet of rentable area and shall have direct exposure onto the elevator lobby area to be considered "marketable." In the event Tenant desires to lease less than the entire First Opportunity Space, then Tenant shall, in its Tenant Response, designate the area of the First Opportunity Space so desired to be leased by Tenant and Landlord shall then have five (5) business days after its receipt of the Tenant Response to notify Tenant in writing of its determination as to whether the remaining portion of the First Opportunity Space is marketable. In the event Landlord has determined that such remaining space is not marketable, then, within three (3) business days after Tenant’s receipt of such determination from Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to elect in writing to lease all of the First Opportunity Space or to cancel its prior Tenant Response. If Tenant elects not to lease such First Opportunity Space, Tenant's Tenant Response is cancelled as hereinabove provided, or Tenant fails to respond within either of such three (3) day or five (5) day periods, then this Second Right of First Opportunity shall automatically terminate as to such floor and Tenant shall have no further right to lease such First Opportunity Space or any portion thereof; provided, however, that in the event that Landlord does not lease any portion or portions of such First Opportunity Space within six (6) months following the end of such five-day period, then Tenant shall again have the Second Right of First Opportunity as to any subsequent leasing or offer to lease by Landlord of such unleased portions of such First Opportunity Space pursuant to the terms herein provided; otherwise Tenant shall have no further right to lease such First Opportunity Space or any portion thereof. In the event Tenant has elected to lease a portion of such First Opportunity Space as hereinabove provided and Landlord has determined that the remainder of such First Opportunity Space is marketable, then all of the remaining terms and provisions of this Paragraph 10 shall be applicable to the leasing of such First Opportunity Space by Tenant and Tenant shall continue to have the right to lease all (but not less than all) of the remainder of the First Opportunity Space pursuant to this Paragraph 10, except that such remaining right shall not include the right to lease a portion of such remaining space pursuant to this subparagraph 10(b). 

 

(c)    If Tenant elects to lease such First Opportunity Space, the "Base Rental" for such First Opportunity Space, for purposes of Paragraph 1.1 of this Lease, shall be an amount equal to the Base Rental set forth in Landlord's notice as set forth above, and shall be subject to the annual 1.03 adjustment pursuant to Paragraph 4.2 of this Lease. Base Rental for the First Opportunity Space shall commence on the earlier to occur of (i) thirty (30) days after Tenant's notice of election to lease the First Opportunity Space, or (ii) the date Tenant first occupies such First Opportunity Space. Except as expressly set forth to the contrary in the Lease, from and after the date Tenant is required to pay Base Rental hereunder with respect to First Opportunity Space, all other terms and conditions of the Lease, except for Paragraphs 5 and 6 of these Special Stipulations, shall apply to such First Opportunity Space and such First Opportunity Space shall be deemed to be a part of the Premises for the remainder of the Term of the Lease. 

 

(d)    Tenant’s right to lease the First Opportunity Space pursuant to this Paragraph is and shall at all times be subject and subordinate to the rights of other tenants currently in effect with respect to such space, whether exercised or unexercised. This Second Right of First Opportunity is personal to Tenant and shall become null and void upon the occurrence of an assignment of this Lease or a sublet of all or any portion of the Premises. Further, as a condition to Tenant’s right to lease the First Opportunity Space, Tenant shall be in occupancy of substantially all of the Premises. 

 

(e)    Within thirty (30) days after the commencement of Base Rental for all or any portion of the First Opportunity Space as set forth above, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a written amendment to this Lease setting forth the commencement date of Base Rental for such space, the location and square footage of such space, the annual rent for such space and the increased "Tenant’s Percentage Share" for purposes of Paragraph 1.7(b) of the Lease. The "Base Year" with respect to all or any portion of the First Opportunity Space, for purposes of Paragraph 1.7(c) of the Lease, shall be the calendar year during which Base Rental for such space shall commence. 

 

11.    Reserved Parking . Tenant shall have the right to use eight (8) reserved parking spaces currently marked on the lower level of the parking deck of the Building free of charge during the Term of the Lease. 

 

12.    Emergency Power Generation . Landlord has installed an emergency power generation system in the Building to serve the electrical systems of the tenth and eleventh floors of the Building. Tenant shall have the use of such emergency power system during the term of the Lease, but such emergency power system shall remain the property of Landlord. Landlord shall, in addition, connect the phone switch serving the Premises to the existing emergency power generation system in the Building. 

 

13.    Prior Tenant Improvements . To Landlord’s knowledge and belief, the equipment and other improvements listed herein below ("Prior Tenant Improvements") were placed on the tenth (10th) floor of Premises by a prior tenant, and Landlord agrees that said Prior Tenant Improvements shall remain with the Premises for the term of this Lease and shall not be removed by Landlord except as so indicated below: 

(a)    Computer Room Air Conditioner shall remain: 

 

(i)    the main unit is a Data-floor-mounted unit that has a 120,000 BTU rating which is ventilated through the raised floor. Specifications have been furnished to Tenant; 

(ii)    a roof-top compressor; 

(iii)    an additional 3-ton unit is installed above the ceiling and below the deck; 

(iv)    Halon system to remain; canister has been removed by Landlord; 

 

(b)    Glass Entry Doors: these doors will be replaced by Landlord with double-glass entry doors with handles similar to those used on the entries of Harris, Hutchings, Fritz and Associates on the 3rd Floor and Hospital Corporation of America on the 6th Floor. 

(c)    Intercom System: wiring to remain; intercom system has been removed by Landlord; 

 

(d)    Raised Floor: will remain; 

 

(e)    Wire Runs: computer and telephone wires to remain; telephone wiring to remain and to be dead ended by Landlord at the computer room. 

 

14.    Signage . Landlord shall continue to include Tenant’s name on a monument sign which Landlord has constructed in front of the Building. Said monument signage rights are personal to Tenant and may not be assigned and shall automatically terminate upon any assignment of this Lease or at such time as Tenant shall have subleased 50% or more of the New Space. Provided Tenant is not in default under the Lease, Landlord shall provide (upon Tenant’s request, provided such request is submitted to Landlord, in writing, within the first six (6) months following the Effective Date), at Landlord's expense, in a location determined by Landlord (but, in any event, at or near the top of the Building and visible from 1-75), nonexclusive building signage identifying Tenant’s name. It shall be a condition to Landlord’s obligation to provide such signage that such signage meet all applicable governmental rules, codes and regulations. Such signage shall be consistent with Parkway Center’s signage requirements and shall be subject to Landlord’s prior approval as to size, design and other features. Landlord shall have the right, at its expense, to relocate such building signage from time to time. The aforesaid building signage rights are personal to Tenant and may not be assigned and shall automatically terminate upon any assignment of this Lease, at such time as Tenant shall have subleased 25% or more of the New Space, or upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Lease. Upon expiration of any of the aforesaid building signage rights, Landlord shall have the right to remove such sign(s) at Tenant's expense. 

 

15.    Impairment of Use . Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Lease to the contrary, if any essential utilities or services Landlord provides to Tenant under the Lease are interrupted, and such interruption is within the reasonable control of Landlord, and such interruption continues for seven (7) consecutive business days after written notice of such interruption is given by Tenant to Landlord, and provided that such interruption is not the result of an act or omission of Tenant, its agents, contractors or employees or the act or omission of any public or private utility company, and if Tenant is unable (based upon reasonable commercial standards) to operate its business in the Premises, or any portion thereof, as a result of such interruption, then Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of its obligations to make payments of Rent commencing on the eighth (8th) business day after such interruption and continuing until such time as the interruption ceases. Such abatement shall be in proportion to the amount of the Premises that are unusable by Tenant after such eighth (8th) business day. If such interruption within the reasonable control of Landlord shall continue for one hundred twenty (120) consecutive days and shall render unusable at least 50% of the Premises, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease upon ten (10) days notice to Landlord; provided, however, that the election to termination shall be of no force and effect if prior to the expiration of said ten (10) day period the cause of such interruption shall have been removed by Landlord.
