         square feet (with the detail of where such square feet are located
         shown on Exhibit "B-1", by this reference incorporated herein). The
         Rentable Floor Area for that portion of the Demised Premises located on
         a floor on which Tenant leases some, but not all, of the floor, shall
         be calculated by determining the usable square feet within such Demised
         Premises, and multiplying said amount by 1.17. The Rentable Floor Area
         for any portion of the Demised Premises located on a floor which Tenant
         leases in its entirety shall be calculated by measuring the usable
         square feet on such floor, and multiplying said amount by 1.1026.
         Usable square feet shall

<PAGE>   7

         be measured and determined in accordance with the 1996 version of the
         Standard Method of Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings, American
         National Standard (ANSI Z65.1), published by the Building Owners and
         Managers Association International, but expressly including the
         elevator lobbies on floors leased entirely by Tenant.

                  (B)      Tenant shall have the right to review the Rentable
         Floor Area of any "Expansion Space" (as that term is herein defined)
         within ninety (90) days after Tenant has elected to lease such
         Expansion Space, to confirm that such measurement accurately reflects
         the exact number of Rentable Floor Area of the Expansion Space in
         question (using only the factors set forth above). If Tenant disagrees
         with the figure for the square feet of Rentable Floor Area set forth
         herein, Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant's expense, to cause a
         measurement of the Expansion Space in question to determine the square
         feet of Rentable Floor Area. Tenant shall provide notice to Landlord of
         Tenant's calculations following Tenant's completion thereof, and in any
         event within the ninety (90) day period set forth above. If the parties
         do not agree on the final measurement for such space, then such matter
         shall be submitted to and resolved as provided herein.

                  (C)      Either party shall have the right to initiate the
         process described below, by giving written notice thereof to the other
         party. Upon the initiation, Landlord and Tenant shall each promptly
         select a reputable, disinterested architect having at least ten (10)
         years experience designing office buildings and/or leasehold
         improvements for office buildings in the Atlanta metropolitan area.
         Said architects shall measure the Expansion Space in question, and
         shall select a third architect to measure the Expansion Space in
         question, all on the basis as described herein. The measurement of the
         third architect (selected by the other architects) shall govern, unless
         the number of square feet of Rentable Floor Area determined by the
         third architect is more than the greater of the prior two calculations,
         than the greater of the prior two calculations shall be deemed to be
         the number of Rentable Floor Area; and if the number of square feet of
         Rentable Floor Area determined by the third architect is less than the
         lesser of the prior two calculations, then the lesser of the prior two
         calculations shall be deemed to be the number of square feet of
         Rentable Floor Area. Landlord and Tenant shall pay the fees and charges
         of their respective architects. If the final determination of Rentable
         Floor Area is more than that asserted by Tenant and Landlord, then
         Tenant shall pay the fees and charges of the third architect, and if
         the final determination of Rentable Floor Area is less than that
         asserted by Tenant and Landlord, then Landlord shall pay the fees and
         charges of the third architect. If neither is the case, then Landlord
         and Tenant shall split the fees and charges of the third architect.

                  (h)      Rentable Floor Area of Building: 614,543 square feet.

                  (i)      Lease Term: Variable periods, but ending, unless
         sooner terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, on March 31,
         2008.

                  (j)      Base Rental Rate: $15.20 per square foot of Rentable
         Floor Area of Demised Premises per year, subject to adjustments as set
         forth in Article 7 below.

                  (k)      Rental Commencement Date: (A) As to the "1st Floor
         North Space" (as defined on Exhibit "B-1"), on the earlier of (x) April
         1, 2003 or (y) the date upon which Tenant takes possession and occupies
         the Demised Premises for the purpose of conducting business therein;
         provided that if the Demised Premises are not ready for occupancy on
         the date set forth in (x) above due to delays not caused by Tenant or
         its employees, agents or contractors, then the date set forth in (x)
         above shall be postponed to the date on which the Demised Premises are
         ready for occupancy. Landlord shall attempt to deliver to 1st Floor
         North Space to Tenant on January 1, 2003. If Landlord is not able to do
         so, because the tenant currently in occupancy thereof holds over past
         its lease term, Landlord shall use all reasonable efforts to acquire
         the access and rights to such space including, but not limited to,
         filing and pursuing a dispossessory action. If Landlord is not able to
         deliver the 1st Floor North Space to Tenant by January 1, 2003, then,
         as Tenant's sole remedy, the aforesaid date of April 1, 2003 shall be
         moved back and delayed by fourteen (14) days, plus a day for every day
         after January 1, 2003 that Landlord is unable to deliver the 1st Floor
         North Space. If Landlord is not able to deliver the 1st Floor North
         Space to Tenant by April 30, 2003, then Tenant, in Tenant's sole
         discretion, shall be entitled to terminate this Lease, as to such 1st
         Floor North Space only, by a notice of such election delivered to
         Landlord, if at all, on or before June 30, 2003. In such a termination,
         neither party hereto shall have any further rights or responsibilities
         with respect to said 1st Floor North Space, and, by way of illustration
         but not limitation, the Construction Allowance due from Landlord shall
         be reduced by $454,380.00. If Tenant does not elect to terminate the
         Lease as to the 1st Floor North Space for the aforesaid cause, then
         Landlord will use reasonable, best-efforts efforts to attempt to locate
         and make available temporary space for Tenant to utilize in the
         Building, until Landlord is able to deliver the 1st Floor North Space
         to Tenant.

                  (B)      As to the "6th Floor LOMA Space" (as defined on
         Exhibit "B-1"), on November 1, 2005.

                  (C)      As to the "8th Floor Chevron Space" (as defined on
         Exhibit "B-1"), on April 1, 2005.

                  (D)      As to the remainder of the Demised Premises not
         otherwise addressed above, on January 1, 2003.

                  (l)      Rent Deposit: None

                  (m)      Construction Allowance: $1,017,775.00, determined by
         factoring an allowance of (i) $20.00 per square foot of Rentable Floor
         Area for the 1st Floor North Space; and (ii) $5.00 per square foot of
         Rentable Floor Area for the remainder of the Demised Premises.

                  (n)      Security Deposit: $90,361.47, which has already been
         paid to and shall be retained by Landlord. (Article 42[a]), and which
         shall be returned to Tenant after January 1, 2003, so long as no event
         of default on the part of Tenant has occurred and is then continuing.

         2.       Lease of Premises.

                  (a)      Landlord, in consideration of the covenants and
         agreements to be performed by Tenant, and upon the terms and conditions
         hereinafter stated, does hereby rent and lease unto Tenant, and Tenant
         does hereby rent and lease from Landlord, certain premises (the
         "Demised Premises") in the building (hereinafter referred to as
         "Building") located on that certain tract of land (the "Land") more
         particularly described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and by this
         reference made a part hereof, which Demised Premises are outlined in
         red or crosshatched on the floor plans attached hereto as Exhibit "B"
         and by this reference made a part hereof, with no easement for light,
         view or air included in the Demised Premises or being granted
         hereunder. The Demised Premises, as currently comprised, are as shown
         on Exhibit "B-1" attached hereto and by this reference incorporated
         herein. The "Project" is comprised of the Building, the Land, the
         Building's parking facilities, any walkways, covered walkways, tunnels
         or other means of access to the Building and the Building's parking
         facilities, all common areas, including any lobbies or plazas, and any
         other improvements or landscaping on the Land. The Project is located
         in the development known as "Wildwood Office Park". Tenant shall have
         the right to use the Project in common with other parties, in
         consideration for the Rent defined herein.

                  (b)      This Lease supersedes and replaces that certain Lease
         Agreement, by and between Landlord and Tenant, originally dated
         September 24, 1997 (as amended from time to time collectively the
         "Original Lease"), except for the rates of Rent due thereunder from
         Tenant, which shall be in force and effect for the space described
         therein, through the Rental Commencement Dates set forth herein.

         3.       Term. The term of this Lease ("Lease Term") shall commence on
the date first hereinabove set forth, and, unless sooner terminated as provided
in this Lease, shall end on the expiration of the period designated in Article
1(i) above, which period shall commence on the various Rental Commencement Dates
described above, unless the relevant Rental Commencement Date described above
shall be other than the first day of a calendar month, in which event such
period shall commence on the first day of the calendar month following the month
in which the Rental Commencement Date in question occurs. Promptly after the
Rental Commencement Date in question occurs, Landlord shall send to Tenant a
Supplemental Notice in the form of Exhibit "C" attached hereto and by this
reference made a part hereof, specifying the Rental Commencement Date in
question, the date of expiration of the Lease Term in accordance with Article
1(i) above and certain other matters as therein set forth.

         4.       Possession.

                  (a)      The obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect
         to the initial leasehold improvements to the Demised Premises are set
         forth in Exhibit "D" attached hereto and by

                                       4
<PAGE>   10

         this reference made a part hereof. Tenant is in possession of all of
         the Demised Premises (through lease or sublease), except for the 1st
         Floor North Space.

                  (b)      Tenant's rights to the 6th Floor LOMA Space are
         subject and subordinate to the party currently in possession thereof
         renewing its lease in accordance with the existing terms of such
         party's lease, (including the rental rate set forth for such renewal).
         If such party does renew its lease under the terms set forth in the
         preceding sentence, then Tenant shall have no rights to such 6th Floor
         LOMA Space, and will have to vacate such 6th Floor LOMA Space which
         Tenant now occupies. If Tenant is required to vacate such 6th Floor
         LOMA Space, Landlord will use Landlord's reasonable, best-efforts
         efforts to locate other space for Tenant in the Building, to lease and
         occupy, on such terms and conditions as Landlord and Tenant, in their
         respective reasonable judgment, may agree.

         5.       Rental Payments.

                  (a)      Commencing on the Rental Commencement Date, and
         continuing thereafter throughout the Lease Term, Tenant hereby agrees
         to pay all Rent due and payable under this Lease. As used in this
         Lease, the term "Rent" shall mean the Base Rental, Tenant's Forecast
         Additional Rental, Tenant's Additional Rental, and any other amounts
         that Tenant assumes or agrees to pay under the provisions of this Lease
         that are owed to Landlord, including without limitation the amounts due
         or paid under Article 8(B) of Exhibit "D" and any and all other sums
         that may become due by reason of any default of Tenant or failure on
         Tenant's part to comply with the agreements, terms, covenants and
         conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. Base Rental
         together with Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental shall be due and
         payable in twelve (12) equal installments on the first day of each
         calendar month, commencing on the Rental Commencement Date and
         continuing thereafter throughout the Lease Term and any extensions or
         renewals thereof, and Tenant hereby agrees to pay such Rent to Landlord
         at Landlord's address as provided herein (or such other address as may
         be designated by Landlord from time to time) monthly in advance. Tenant
         shall pay all Rent and other sums of money as shall become due from and
         payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease at the times and in the
         manner provided in this Lease, without demand, set-off or counterclaim.

                  (b)      If the Rental Commencement Date is other than the
         first day of a calendar month or if this Lease terminates on other than
         the last day of a calendar month, then the installments of Base Rental
         and Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental for such month or months shall
         be prorated on a daily basis and the installment or installments so
         prorated shall be paid in advance. Also, if the Rental Commencement
         Date occurs on other than the first day of a calendar year, or if this
         Lease expires or is terminated on other than the last day of a calendar
         year, Tenant's Additional Rental shall be prorated for such
         commencement or termination year, as the case may be, by multiplying
         such Tenant's Additional Rental by a fraction, the numerator of which
         shall be the number of days during the commencement or expiration or
         termination year, as the case may be, and the denominator of which
         shall be 365, and the calculation described in Article 8 hereof shall
         be made as soon as possible after the expiration or termination of this
         Lease, Landlord and

                                       5
<PAGE>   11

         Tenant hereby agreeing that the provisions relating to said calculation
         shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

         6.       Base Rental. Subject to adjustments in accordance with Article
7 below, from and after the Rental Commencement Date Tenant shall pay to
Landlord a base annual rental (herein called "Base Rental") equal to the Base
Rental Rate set forth in Article 1(j) above multiplied by the Rentable Floor
Area of Demised Premises set forth in Article 1(g) above.

         7.       Rent Escalation.

                  (a)      As used in this Article 7, the term "Lease Year"
         shall mean the twelve month period commencing on the Rental
         Commencement Date, or, if the Rental Commencement Date is not on the
         first day of a calendar month, commencing on the first day of the first
         calendar month following the Rental Commencement Date, and each
         successive twelve month period thereafter during the Lease Term. The
         term "Subsequent Year" shall mean each Lease Year of the Lease Term
         following the first Lease Year. The term "Prior Year" shall mean the
         Lease Year prior to each Subsequent Year. The term "Index" shall mean
         the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (U.S. City Average;
         Base 1982-84=100), published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
         United States Department of Labor. The term "Base Month" shall mean the
         calendar month which is two (2) months prior to the month during which
         this Lease is fully executed by Landlord and Tenant. The term
         "Comparison Month" shall mean the calendar month which is two (2)
         months prior to the first full month of each Subsequent Year in
         question.

                  (b)      On the first day of each Subsequent Year, the Base
         Rental Rate shall be increased to an amount equal to the Base Rental
         Rate for the first Lease Year ($15.20) as set forth in Article 1(j)
         above, plus an amount equal to the product of fifteen (15) times the
         percentage increase in the Index for the Comparison Month as compared
         to the Index for the Base Month, multiplied by the Base Rental Rate for
         the first Lease Year ($15.20); provided, however, in no event shall the
         Base Rental Rate for a Subsequent Year be less than the Base Rental
         Rate applicable to the Prior Year and in no event shall the Base Rental
         Rate for the Subsequent Year be greater than the following amounts for
         the Lease Years shown:

                  <S>                                         <C>
                  Second Lease Year                           $  15.732
                  Third Lease Year                            $  16.282
                  Fourth Lease Year                           $  16.852
                  Fifth Lease Year                            $  17.442
                  Sixth Lease Year (Partial)                  $  18.052
</TABLE>

                  (c)      If the Bureau of Labor Statistics should discontinue
         the publication of the Index, or publish the same less frequently, or
         alter the same in some manner, then Landlord shall adopt a substitute
         Index or substitute procedure which reasonably reflects and monitors
         consumer prices.

         8.       Additional Rental.

                  (a)      For purposes of this Lease, "Tenant's Forecast
         Additional Rental" shall mean Landlord's reasonable estimate of
         Tenant's Additional Rental for the coming calendar year or portion
         thereof. If at any time it appears to Landlord that Tenant's Additional
         Rental for the current calendar year will vary from Landlord's estimate
         by more than five percent (5%), Landlord shall have the right, one (1)
         time per calendar year, to revise, upon at least thirty (30) days prior
         notice to Tenant, its estimate for such year, and subsequent payments
         by Tenant for such year shall be based upon such revised estimate of
         Tenant's Additional Rental. Failure to make a revision contemplated by
         the immediately preceding sentence shall not prejudice Landlord's right
         to collect the full amount of Tenant's Additional Rental. Prior to the
         Rental Commencement Date and thereafter prior to the beginning of each
         calendar year during the Lease Term, including any extensions thereof,
         Landlord shall present to Tenant a statement of Tenant's Forecast
         Additional Rental for such calendar year; provided, however, that if
         such statement is not given prior to the beginning of any calendar year
         as aforesaid, Tenant shall continue to pay during the next ensuing
         calendar year on the basis of the amount of Tenant's Forecast
         Additional Rental payable during the calendar year just ended until the
         first month which is at least thirty (30) days after such statement is
         delivered to Tenant.

                  (b)      For purposes of this Lease, "Tenant's Additional
         Rental" shall mean for each calendar year (or portion thereof) the
         Operating Expense Amount (defined below) multiplied by the number of
         square feet of Rentable Floor Area of Demised Premises. As used herein,
         "Operating Expense Amount" shall mean an amount equal to (x) plus (y),
         where:

                  (x) equals the amount of Operating Expenses (as defined below)
                  for such calendar year divided by the greater of (i) 95% of
                  the number of square feet of Rentable Floor Area of the
                  Building, or (ii) the total number of square feet of Rentable
                  Floor Area occupied in the Building for such calendar year on
                  an average annualized basis; provided, however, if the
                  Operating Expenses actually incurred by Landlord are lower
                  than would be incurred if at least 95% of the Building were
                  occupied or if Landlord shall not furnish any particular
                  item(s) of work or services (the cost of which would otherwise
                  be included within Operating Expenses) to portions of the
                  Building because (A) such portions are not occupied, (B) such
                  item of work or services is not required or desired by the
                  tenant of such portion, (C) such tenant is itself obtaining
                  such item of work or services, or (D) of any other reason,
                  then appropriate adjustments shall be made to determine
                  Operating Expenses for such calendar year as though the
                  Building were actually occupied to the extent of the greater
                  of (i) or (ii) above and as though Landlord had furnished such
                  item of work or services to the greater of (i) or (ii) above;
                  and

                  (y) equals a management fee contribution equal to three
                  percent (3%) of Tenant's Base Rental (on a per square foot

                  (c)      Within one hundred fifty (150) days after the end of
         the calendar year, and each calendar year thereafter during the Lease
         Term, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall provide
         Tenant a statement showing the Operating Expenses for said calendar
         year, as prepared by a certified public accounting firm (as such firm
         is designated by Landlord) in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles, consistently applied ("GAAP"), and a statement
         prepared by Landlord comparing Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental with
         Tenant's Additional Rental. In the event Tenant's Forecast Additional
         Rental exceeds Tenant's Additional Rental for said calendar year,
         Landlord shall credit such amount against Rent next due hereunder or,
         if the Lease Term has expired or is about to expire, refund such excess
         to Tenant within thirty (30) days if Tenant is not in default under
         this Lease (in the instance of a default such excess shall be held as
         additional security for Tenant's performance, may be applied by
         Landlord to cure any such default, and shall not be refunded until any
         such default is cured). In the event that the Tenant's Additional
         Rental exceeds Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental for said calendar
         year, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within thirty (30) days of receipt of
         the statement, an amount equal to such difference. The provisions of
         this Lease concerning the payment of Tenant's Additional Rental shall
         survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

                  (d)      For so long as Tenant is not in default under this
         Lease, Landlord's books and records pertaining to the calculation of
         Operating Expenses for any calendar year within the Lease Term may be
         audited by an authorized representative of Tenant at Tenant's expense,
         at any time within eighteen (18) months after Tenant's receipt of the
         reconciliation statement; provided that Tenant shall give Landlord not
         less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice of any such audit. For
         purposes hereof, an authorized representative of Tenant shall mean a
         bona fide employee of Tenant, any reputable accounting firm, or any
         other party reasonably approved in writing by Landlord. In no event
         shall an authorized representative of Tenant include the owner of any
         office building in the metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia area or any
         affiliate of such owner. Prior to the commencement of such audit,
         Tenant shall cause its authorized representative to agree in writing
         for the benefit of Landlord that such representative will keep the
         results of the audit confidential and that such representative will not
         disclose or divulge the results of such audit except to Tenant and
         Landlord and except in connection with any dispute between Landlord and
         Tenant relating to Operating Expenses. Such audit shall be conducted
         during reasonable business hours at Landlord's office where Landlord's
         books and records are maintained. Tenant shall cause a written audit
         report to be prepared by its authorized representative following any
         such audit and shall provide Landlord with a copy of such report
         promptly after receipt thereof by Tenant. If Landlord's calculation of
         Tenant's Additional Rental for the audited calendar year was incorrect,
         then Tenant shall be entitled to a prompt refund of any overpayment,
         and Landlord shall also pay the reasonable costs of Tenant's audit, up
         to, but not in excess of, Ten Thousand and No/100 ($10,000.00), if the
         overpayment is ultimately determined to be greater than five percent
         (5%) of the sum due for such year, or Tenant shall promptly pay to
         Landlord the amount of any underpayment, as the case may be. If Tenant,
         in good faith and with reasonable specificity and detail, protests any
         portion of Additional Rental due from Tenant which is ultimately
         determined to be not due from Tenant, then Landlord shall

                                       8
<PAGE>   14

         owe to Tenant the amount of such overcollection, plus interest on such
         overcollected amount at the rate of twelve and one-half percent (12.5%)
         per annum, such interest to accrue from July 1 of the year in which
         such protest is made by Tenant. The provisions of this Lease concerning
         the payment or refund of Tenant's Additional Rental shall survive the
         expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

         9.       Operating Expenses.

         Project, including taxes, insurance and benefits customarily provided
         by Landlord relating to such employees, allocated based upon the time
         such employees are engaged directly in providing such services;

                           (6)      amortization (together with reasonable
         financing charges, whether or not actually incurred) of the cost of
         acquisition and/or installation of capital investment items (including
         security and energy management equipment), amortized over their
         respective useful lives, which are installed for the purpose of
         reducing operating expenses, promoting safety, complying with
         governmental requirements, or maintaining the first-class nature of the
         Project, but only to the extent such expenditures do accomplish such
         goal and, for the purposes of reducing of Operating Expenses, the
         amortization period shall equal the estimated payback period or useful
         life, as reasonably determined by Landlord for the item in question;
         provided, however, that Landlord shall not be entitled to pass on any
         of Landlord's capital costs which arise out of any expansion of the
         Buildings' parking

         reasonable accommodations under the Americans With Disabilities Act
         (the "ADA", 42 U.S.C. ss. 12.101 et seq.) and (i) all such ADA
         expenditures currently included in and as Operating Expenses may be
         passed on to Tenant; and (ii) those ADA expenditures, other than those
         described in 9(a)(6)(i) above, shall be amortized in accordance with
         GAAP and the portion of which may be passed on to Tenant (on a pro-rata
         basis) as a part of the current compliance program shall not exceed

         returns, and excluding services described in Article 9(b)(14) below;

                           (10)     all taxes, assessments and governmental
         charges, whether or not directly paid by Landlord, whether federal,

         created or otherwise, and any other taxes and assessments attributable
         to the Project or its operation (and the costs of contesting any of the

         responsible for ad valorem taxes on its personal property and on the
         value of the leasehold improvements in the Demised Premises to the
         extent that the same exceed Building Standard allowances, if said taxes
         are based upon an assessment which includes the cost of such leasehold
         improvements in excess of Building Standard allowances (and if the

         sentence);

                           (11) the cost of operating the management office for

         office equipment, non-capital investment equipment, amortization
         (together with reasonable financing charges) of the cost of capital

         and communication lines located across, through and under any public or
         roadways now or hereafter located within Wildwood Office Park, except
         for any such utility facilities serving solely another project within
         Wildwood Office Park; (iv) the costs of ownership, operation,
         maintenance, repair and replacement of any transportation system and
         equipment from time to time provided or made available to the developed
         portions of Wildwood Office Park, including but not limited to ad
         valorem taxes on personal property or equipment, electricity, fuel,
         painting and cleaning costs; (v) the costs and expenses of ownership
         and operation of any security patrols or services, if any, from time to

         they perform the same or similar functions as an employee which has its
         salary included in Operating Expenses);

                           (5)      the cost of any items for which Landlord is
         reimbursed by insurance, condemnation or otherwise, except for costs
         reimbursed pursuant to provisions similar to Articles 8 and 9 hereof;

                           (6)      the cost of any additions, changes,

         the Building, or which arise out of the gross negligence or willful
         misconduct of Landlord;

         another identifiable tenant in the Building, or is the result of a
         Hazardous Substance which exists on the Property as of the date of this
         Lease; and

                           (19)     management fees (Tenant's obligation for a
         management fee contribution is set forth in Article 8[b][y] above).

         (c)      Landlord, as part of Building Operating Costs, will continue
to provide all required maintenance on Building cold water supply for Tenant's
non-exclusive use and Tenant's HVAC systems, at no direct cost to Tenant. The
cold water supply will be available for Tenant 24 hours per day, 7 days per
week, subject to casualty and condemnation, and shall be maintained at the
temperatures sufficient for the Building system.

         10.      Tenant Taxes; Rent Taxes. Tenant shall pay promptly when due
all taxes directly or indirectly imposed or assessed upon Tenant's gross sales,

property or assets, whether such taxes are assessed against Tenant, Landlord or
the Building. In the event that such taxes are imposed or assessed against
Landlord or the Building, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with all applicable tax
bills, public charges and other assessments or impositions and Tenant shall
forthwith pay the same either directly to the taxing authority or, at Landlord's
option, to Landlord. In addition, in the event there is imposed at any time a
tax upon and/or measured by the rental payable by Tenant under this Lease,
whether by way of a sales or use tax or otherwise, Tenant shall be responsible
for the payment of such tax and shall pay the same on or prior to the due date
thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not include any
inheritance, estate, succession, transfer, gift or income tax imposed on or
payable by Landlord.

         11.      Payments. All payments of Rent and other payments to be made
to Landlord shall be made on a timely basis and shall be payable to Landlord or
as Landlord may otherwise designate. All such payments shall be mailed or
delivered to Landlord's Address designated in Article 1(b) above or at such
other place as Landlord may designate from time to time in writing. If

                                       13
<PAGE>   19

mailed, all payments shall be mailed in sufficient time and with adequate
postage thereon to be received in Landlord's account by no later than the due
date for such payment. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord Fifty Dollars ($50.00)
for each check presented to Landlord in payment of any obligation of Tenant
which is not paid by the bank on which it is drawn, together with interest from
and after the due date for such payment at the rate of eighteen percent (18%)
per annum on the amount due.

         12.      Late Charges. Any Rent or other amounts payable to Landlord
under this Lease, if not paid by the fifth day of the month for which such Rent
is due, or by the due date specified on any invoices from Landlord (none of
which invoices shall be due less than thirty (30) days after notice thereof is
given to Tenant) for any other amounts payable hereunder, shall incur a late
charge of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) for Landlord's administrative expense in
processing such delinquent payment and in addition thereto shall bear interest
at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum from and after the due date for
such payment; provided, however, that the aforesaid late charge shall not be due
the first time in any calendar year that a payment due from Tenant is not made
on a timely basis, unless such payment is not made within ten (10) days of the
date written notice of such late payment is given to Tenant. In no event shall
the rate of interest payable on any late payment exceed the legal limits for
such interest enforceable under applicable law.

         13.      Use Rules. The Demised Premises shall be used for executive,
general administrative and office space purposes, and for training; data
retention; sales; marketing; as a health facility (but only for Tenant's
employees and guests); and as a vending area (but only for Tenant's employees
and guests), all in accordance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations of governmental authorities and the Rules and Regulations attached
hereto and made a part hereof. Any portion of the Demised Premises used for a
health facility or vending area shall not be visible from the first (1st) floor
lobby area of the Building. In no event shall any destination-end retail
activities be conducted from the Demised Premises. The average occupancy rate of
the Demised Premises (measured during the "Building Operating Hours" (as herein
defined, and excluding times when employees are typically not in the Demised
Premises) shall in no event be more than one (1) person per 150 square feet of
Rentable Floor Area within the Demised Premises. Tenant covenants and agrees to
abide by the Rules and Regulations in all respects as now set forth and attached
hereto or as hereafter promulgated by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right at
all times during the Lease Term to publish and promulgate and thereafter enforce
such rules and regulations or changes in the existing Rules and Regulations as
it may reasonably deem necessary in its sole discretion to protect the
tenantability, safety, operation, and welfare of the Demised Premises, the
Project and Wildwood Office Park, so long as such modifications do not
materially, adversely impact upon Tenant's use of or access to the Demised
Premises. Rules and Regulations shall be enforced against similarly situated
tenants and Tenant in a non-discriminatory manner. Landlord acknowledges that
Tenant is a computer software company that requires that the employees have 24
hour access to the Demised Premises, that the Demised Premises must have after
hour air conditioning and heat at the then standard rate for the Project (as set
forth herein), and that the computers of Tenant require stable, sufficient,
continuous and high quality electrical and telephone service.

         14.      Alterations. Except for any initial improvement of the Demised
Premises pursuant to Exhibit "D", which shall be governed by the provisions of
said Exhibit "D", Tenant shall not make, suffer or permit to be made any
alterations, additions or improvements to or of the Demised Premises or any part
thereof, or attach any fixtures or equipment thereto, without first obtaining
Landlord's written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed; provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right, without obtaining
Landlord's consent, to install or move low voltage telephone lines and local
area network lines within and which serve the Demised Premises, so long as such
actions do not affect the service of any other tenant of the Building and do not
affect the Building Systems, and such work is done by an electrician (or other
professional, as appropriate, and which may be an employee of Tenant) consented
to by Landlord (with such consent as to the identity of such a person applying
to subsequent work of the same or similar type by such person), and Tenant shall
also be entitled to perform work within the Demised Premises, with notice to,
but not the consent of, Landlord as long as (i) the cost of such work does not
exceed, in the aggregate, $20,000.00; (b) such work does not adversely affect
the structural components of the Building or the Building's systems; (c) such
work is not visible from the exterior of the Demised Premises; (d) the terms and
conditions of this Lease are otherwise complied with; and (e) Tenant delivers to
Landlord, upon the completion of such work, complete, as-built plans and
specifications for the work performed, if available. Tenant may also hang white
boards, cork boards, pictures and other typical corporate wall adornments of
various sizes as is customary without Landlord's prior consent, and Tenant will
retain ownership and title to all such items at all times and shall not be
liable to remove or repair the effects of anchors and other devices used to hang
such items at Lease termination. Any such alterations, additions or improvements
to the Demised Premises consented to by Landlord shall be made by Landlord or
under Landlord's supervision for Tenant's account (at 10(cent) per square foot
of Rentable Floor Area affected by such work, if Tenant does the work, [which
Tenant may elect to do], and at 5% of the entire cost of the work, if Landlord
supervises and coordinates such work) and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for
all costs thereof, as Rent, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a
statement. All such alterations, additions and improvements shall become
Landlord's property at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term
and shall remain on the Demised Premises without compensation to Tenant unless
Landlord elects by notice to Tenant, at the time Landlord responds to Tenant as
to whether or not such alterations may be constructed in or made to the Demised
Premises, to have Tenant remove such alterations, additions and improvements, in
which event, notwithstanding any contrary provisions respecting such
alterations, additions and improvements contained in Article 32 hereof, Tenant
shall promptly restore, at its sole cost and expense, the Demised Premises to
its condition prior to the installation of such alterations, additions and
improvements, normal wear and tear excepted.

         15.      Repairs.

                  (a)      Landlord shall maintain in good order and repair,
         subject to normal wear and tear and subject to casualty and
         condemnation, the Building (excluding the Demised Premises and other
         portions of the Building leased to other tenants), and all plumbing,
         glass, HVAC, wiring and telephone which is a part of the Building
         systems (and not a part of any improvements built as part of any
         tenant's fit-up and finish work), the Building parking facilities, the
         public areas and the landscaped areas; provided, however, that the

                                       15
<PAGE>   21

         cost of maintaining such items shall be included as an Operating
         Expense in accordance with and subject to Article 9 herein.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing obligation, the cost of any repairs or
         maintenance to the foregoing necessitated by the intentional acts or
         negligence of Tenant or its agents, contractors, employees, invitees,
         licensees, tenants or assigns, shall be borne solely by Tenant and
         shall be deemed Rent hereunder and shall be reimbursed by Tenant to
         Landlord upon demand. Landlord shall not be required to make any
         repairs or improvements to the Demised Premises except structural
         repairs and Building systems (as set forth above) necessary for safety
         and tenantability. If Landlord must enter the Demised Premises to make
         repairs for another tenant, then Landlord shall use all reasonable
         efforts to cause such repairs to be made after Building Operating
         Hours.

                  (b)      Tenant covenants and agrees that it will take good
         care of the Demised Premises and all alterations, additions and
         improvements thereto and will keep and maintain the same in good
         condition and repair, except for normal wear and tear and casualty.
         Tenant shall have the right to have work required of Tenant in the
         Demised Premises performed after hours; provided, however, that Tenant
         shall bear all additional cost and expense associated or incurred in
         connection with or as a part of such overtime work, and such work shall
         be otherwise performed in accordance with Landlord's reasonable
         limitations and guidelines. Tenant shall at once report, in writing, to
         Landlord any defective or dangerous condition known to Tenant. To the
         fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby waives all rights to
         make repairs at the expense of Landlord or in lieu thereof to vacate
         the Demised Premises as may be provided by any law, statute or
         ordinance now or hereafter in effect. Landlord has no obligation and
         has made no promise to alter, remodel, improve, repair, decorate or
         paint the Demised Premises or any part thereof, except as specifically
         and expressly herein set forth.

                  (c)      If Landlord fails to furnish or delays in furnishing
         any service Landlord is obligated to provide under this Lease, Tenant
         shall be entitled to abate Rent until the service is restored, but only
         under the following terms and conditions:

                  (i)      the loss of service was not caused by, through or
         under Tenant;

                  (ii)     the loss of service is the result of a cause within
         Landlord's control;

                  (iii)    the loss of service must be of a material nature so
         as to render the Demised Premises reasonably unusable for the purposes
         contemplated by this Lease;

                  (iv)     Tenant must give written notice promptly to Landlord
         of the loss of service and its claim for abatement under this provision
         and, Tenant shall be entitled to abatement of Rent, assuming all other
         conditions of this provision are satisfied, commencing on the day such
         service is curtailed, provided that if such service is restored or
         replaced within six (6) business days of Landlord's receipt of such
         notice, then Tenant shall not be entitled to any such abatement; and

                                       16
<PAGE>   22

                  (v)      Landlord may prevent or stop abatement by providing
         substantially the same service by temporary or alternative means until
         the cause of the loss of service can be corrected.

                  (vi)     If a service is not provided to a discrete or
         separate portion of the Demised Premises (as opposed to the entire
         Demised Premises) then the terms and conditions of the Article 15(c)
         shall apply to such discrete or separate area, and not to the entire
         Demised Premises.

         16.      Landlord's Right of Entry.

                  (a)      Landlord shall retain duplicate keys to all doors of
         the Demised Premises and Landlord and its agents, employees and
         independent contractors shall have the right to enter the Demised
         Premises at reasonable hours, upon reasonable advance oral or written
         notice (which shall be no less than twenty-four (24) hours, except in
         an emergency as described below), and at all times in a competent and
         professional manner, to inspect and examine same, to make repairs,
         additions, alterations, and improvements, so long as such entry does
         not substantially interrupt Tenant's business, to exhibit the Demised
         Premises to mortgagees, prospective mortgagees, purchasers or in the
         last ten (10) months of the Term or if an event of default on the part
         of Tenant has occurred and is continuing, tenants, and to inspect the
         Demised Premises to ascertain that Tenant is complying with all of its
         covenants and obligations hereunder, all without being liable to Tenant
         in any manner whatsoever for any damages arising therefrom; provided,
         however, that Landlord shall, except in case of emergency, afford
         Tenant such prior notification of an entry into the Demised Premises as
         shall be reasonably practicable under the circumstances, and in all
         events (except in an emergency) on no less than twenty-four (24) hours
         prior notice. Landlord shall only enter into contracts with companies
         providing janitorial and security services for the Building which
         require such parties to carry liability insurance and be bonded.
         Landlord shall comply with any reasonable requests from Tenant related
         to safeguarding Tenant's trade secrets in the Demised Premises;
         provided, however, that Landlord's only liability with respect thereto
         shall arise under Article 37 hereunder.

                  (b)      Landlord shall be allowed to take into and through
         the Demised Premises any and all materials that may be required to
         make such repairs, additions, alterations or improvements. During such
         time as such work is being carried on in or about the Demised Premises,
         the Rent provided herein shall not abate, and Tenant waives any claim
         or cause of action against Landlord for damages by reason of
         interruption of Tenant's business or loss of profits therefrom because
         of the prosecution of any such work or any part thereof. Landlord will
         use its reasonable efforts to minimize such disruptions of Tenant's
         business, including scheduling non-emergency work of a disruptive
         nature after Building Operating Hours.

         17.      Insurance.

                                       17
<PAGE>   23
                  (a)      Tenant shall procure at its expense and maintain
         throughout the Lease Term a policy or policies of special form/all-risk
         insurance insuring the full replacement cost of its furniture,
         equipment, supplies, and other property owned, leased, held or
         possessed by it and contained in the Demised Premises, together with
         the value of the improvements to the Demised Premises in excess of
         Twenty and No/100 Dollars ($20.00) per square foot of Rentable Floor
         Area, below a semi-finished ceiling, and worker's compensation
         insurance as required by applicable law. Tenant shall also procure at
         its expense and maintain throughout the Lease Term a policy or policies
         of commercial general liability insurance, insuring Tenant, Landlord
         and any other person designated by Landlord, against any and all
         liability for injury to or death of a person or persons and for damage
         to property occasioned by or arising out of any construction work being
         done on the Demised Premises, or arising out of the condition, use, or
         occupancy of the Demised Premises, or in any way occasioned by or
         arising out of the activities of Tenant, its agents, contractors,
         employees, guests, or licensees in the Demised Premises, or other
         portions of the Building, the Project or Wildwood Office Park, the
         limits of such policy or policies to be in combined single limits for
         both damage to property and personal injury and in amounts not less
         than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) for each occurrence. Such
         insurance shall, in addition, extend to any liability of Tenant arising
         out of the indemnities provided for in this Lease. Tenant shall also
         carry such other types of insurance in form and amount which Landlord
         shall reasonably deem to be prudent for Tenant to carry, should the
         circumstances or conditions so merit Tenant carrying such type of
         insurance, and if other owners of first-class buildings in the area of
         the Building are generally requiring such coverage. All insurance
         policies procured and maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Article 17
         shall name Landlord and any additional parties designated by Landlord
         as additional insured, shall be carried with companies licensed to do
         business in the State of Georgia having a rating from Best's Insurance
         Reports of not less than A-IX, and shall be non-cancelable and not
         subject to material change except after thirty (30) days' written
         notice to Landlord. Such policies or duly executed certificates of
         insurance with respect thereto, accompanied by proof of payment of the
         premium therefor, shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the Rental
         Commencement Date, and renewals of such policies shall be delivered to
         Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of each
         respective policy term.

                  (b)      Landlord shall procure and maintain at its expense
         (but with the expense to be included in Operating Expenses) throughout
         the Lease Term a policy or policies of special form/all-risk (including
         rent loss coverage) real and personal property insurance covering the
         Project (including the leasehold improvements in the Demised Premises
         up to Twenty and No/100 Dollars ($20.00) per square foot of Rentable
         Floor Area, below a semi-finished ceiling, but excluding Tenant's
         personal property and equipment), in an amount equal to the full
         insurable replacement cost thereof as such may increase from time to
         time (but such insurance may provide for a commercially reasonable
         deductible), and in an amount sufficient to comply with any
         co-insurance requirements in such policy, and a policy of workers'
         compensation insurance, if any, as required by applicable law. In
         addition, Landlord shall procure and maintain at its expense (but with
         the expense to be included in Operating Expenses) and shall thereafter
         maintain throughout the Lease Term, a commercial general liability
         insurance policy covering the Project with combined single

                                       18
<PAGE>   24

         limits for both damage to property and personal injury of not less than
         Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) per occurrence, subject to annual
         aggregate limits of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).
         Landlord may also carry such other types of insurance in form and
         amounts which Landlord shall determine to be appropriate from time to
         time, and the cost thereof shall be included in Operating Expenses. All
         such policies procured and maintained by Landlord pursuant to this
         Article 17 shall be carried with companies licensed to do business in
         the State of Georgia, and shall have a rating from Best's Insurance
         Reports of not less than A-IX, (or, if not at such level, at such level
         as Landlord elects, but the rating which Landlord elects, from time to
         time, shall be the level of rating from Best's Insurance Reports which
         Tenant must maintain under Article 17(a) above). Any insurance required
         to be carried by Landlord hereunder may be carried under blanket
         policies covering other properties of Landlord and/or its partners
         and/or their respective related or affiliated corporations so long as
         such blanket policies provide insurance at all times for the Project as
         required by this Lease. In no event shall such coverages under blanket
         policies cause an increase in Tenant's Additional Rental. At Tenant's
         request, Landlord shall provide a copy of an insurance certificate to
         Tenant, evidencing the coverage Landlord is required to maintain
         hereunder.

         18.      Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant shall each have
included in all policies of fire, extended coverage, business interruption and
loss of rents insurance respectively obtained by them covering the Demised
Premises, the Building and contents therein, a waiver by the insurer of all
right of subrogation against the other in connection with any loss or damage
thereby insured against. Any additional premium for such waiver shall be paid by
the primary insured. To the full extent permitted by law, Landlord and Tenant
each waives all right of recovery against the other for, and agrees to release
the other from liability for, loss or damage to the extent such loss or damage
is covered by valid and collectible insurance in effect at the time of such loss
or damage or would be covered by the insurance required to be maintained under
this Lease by the party seeking recovery.

         19.      Default.

                  (a)      The following events shall be deemed to be events of
         default by Tenant under this Lease: (i) Tenant shall fail to pay any
         installment of Rent or any other charge or assessment against Tenant
         pursuant to the terms hereof within five (5) days after the date notice
         of such late payment is received by Tenant; provided, however, if more
         than two (2) payments due of Tenant hereunder in any one (1) calendar
         year are not made until after notice of such late payment is received
         by Tenant, then it shall be an event of default hereunder by Tenant if
         any subsequent payment due of Tenant hereunder in the same calendar
         year is not made within ten (10) days of the date when due; (ii) Tenant
         shall fail to comply with any term, provision, covenant or warranty
         made under this Lease by Tenant, other than the payment of the Rent or
         any other charge or assessment payable by Tenant, and shall not cure
         such failure within fifteen (15) business days after notice thereof to
         Tenant, or, if such matter cannot be cured within fifteen (15) business
         days, if Tenant does not commence to cure such matter within fifteen
         (15) business days and diligently pursue such cure to completion (and
         in any event cure such matter within ninety (90) days after

                                       19
<PAGE>   25

         notice thereof); (iii) Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease shall make
         a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in
         writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, or shall
         file a petition in bankruptcy admitting its insolvency, or shall be
         adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or shall file a petition in any
         proceeding seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition,
         readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any
         present or future statute, law or regulation, or shall file an answer
         admitting or fail timely to contest the material allegations of a
         petition filed against it in any such proceeding; (iv) a proceeding is
         commenced against Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease seeking any
         reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation,
         dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law
         or regulation, and such proceeding shall not have been dismissed within
         sixty (60) days after the commencement thereof; (v) a receiver or
         trustee shall be appointed for the Demised Premises or for all or
         substantially all of the assets of Tenant or of any guarantor of this
         Lease; or (vi) Tenant shall do or permit to be done anything which
         creates a lien upon the Demised Premises or the Project and such lien
         is not removed or discharged within fifteen (15) days after the filing
         thereof.

                  (b)      Upon the occurrence of any of the aforesaid events of
         default, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of
         the following remedies without any notice or demand whatsoever, except
         as expressly specified in Article 19(a) above: (i) terminate this
         Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Demised
         Premises to Landlord and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may without
         prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or
         arrearages in Rent, enter upon and take possession of the Demised
         Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be
         occupying said Demised Premises or any part thereof without being
         liable for prosecution or any claim of damages therefor; Tenant hereby
         agreeing to pay to Landlord on demand the amount of all loss and damage
         which Landlord may suffer by reason of such termination, whether
         through inability to relet the Demised Premises on satisfactory terms
         or otherwise; (ii) terminate Tenant's right of possession (but not this
         Lease) and enter upon and take possession of the Demised Premises and
         expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying said
         Demised Premises or any part thereof, by entry, dispossessory suit or
         otherwise, without thereby releasing Tenant from any liability
         hereunder, without terminating this Lease, and without being liable for
         prosecution or any claim of damages therefor and, if Landlord so
         elects, make such alterations, redecorations and repairs as, in
         Landlord's reasonable judgment, may be necessary to relet the Demised
         Premises, and Landlord may, but shall be under no obligation to do so,
         relet the Demised Premises or any portion thereof in Landlord's or
         Tenant's name, but for the account of Tenant, for such term or terms
         (which may be for a term extending beyond the Lease Term) and at such
         rental or rentals and upon such other terms as Landlord may deem
         advisable, with or without advertisement, and by negotiations, and
         receive the rent therefor, Tenant hereby agreeing to pay to Landlord
         the deficiency, if any, between all Rent reserved hereunder and the
         total rental applicable to the Lease Term hereof obtained by Landlord
         re-letting, and Tenant shall be liable for Landlord's expenses in
         redecorating and restoring the Demised Premises and all reasonable
         costs incident to such re-letting, including broker's commissions and
         lease assumptions, and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to any
         rentals

                                       20
<PAGE>   26

         received by Landlord in excess of the amounts due by Tenant hereunder;
         or (iii) enter upon the Demised Premises without being liable for
         prosecution or any claim of damages therefor, and do whatever Tenant is
         obligated to do under the terms of this Lease; and Tenant agrees to
         reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses including, without
         limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees which Landlord may incur in thus
         effecting compliance with Tenant's obligations under this Lease and
         Tenant further agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages
         resulting to Tenant from such action, whether caused by negligence of
         Landlord or otherwise. If this Lease is terminated by Landlord as a
         result of the occurrence of an event of default, Landlord may declare
         to be due and payable immediately, the present value (calculated with a
         discount factor of eight percent [8%] per annum) of the difference
         between (x) the entire amount of Rent and other charges and assessments
         which in Landlord's reasonable determination would become due and
         payable during the remainder of the Lease Term determined as though
         this Lease had not been terminated (including, but not limited to,
         increases in Rent pursuant to Article 7 hereof), and (y) the then fair
         market rental value of the Demised Premises for the remainder of the
         Lease Term. Upon the acceleration of such amounts, Tenant agrees to pay
         the same at once, together with all Rent and other charges and
         assessments theretofore due, at Landlord's address as provided herein,
         it being agreed that such payment shall not constitute a penalty or
         forfeiture but shall constitute liquidated damages for Tenant's failure
         to comply with the terms and provisions of this Lease (Landlord and
         Tenant agreeing that Landlord's actual damages in such event are
         impossible to ascertain and that the amount set forth above is a
         reasonable estimate thereof).

                  (c)      Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not
         preclude pursuit of any other remedy herein provided or any other
         remedy provided by law or at equity, nor shall pursuit of any remedy
         herein provided constitute an election of remedies thereby excluding
         the later election of an alternate remedy, or a forfeiture or waiver of
         any Rent or other charges and assessments payable by Tenant and due to
         Landlord hereunder or of any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of
         violation of any of the terms, covenants, warranties and provisions
         herein contained. No reentry or taking possession of the Demised
         Premises by Landlord or any other action taken by or on behalf of
         Landlord shall be construed to be an acceptance of a surrender of this
         Lease or an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless written
         notice of such intention is given to Tenant. Forbearance by Landlord to
         enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an event of
         default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such
         default. In determining the amount of loss or damage which Landlord may
         suffer by reason of termination of this Lease or the deficiency arising
         by reason of any reletting of the Demised Premises by Landlord as above
         provided, allowance shall be made for the expense of repossession.
         Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord all costs and expenses incurred by
         Landlord in the enforcement of this Lease, including, without
         limitation, the fees of Landlord's attorneys as provided in Article 25
         hereof.

         20.      Waiver of Breach. No waiver of any breach of the covenants,
warranties, agreements, provisions, or conditions contained in this Lease shall
be construed as a waiver of said covenant, warranty, provision, agreement or
condition or of any subsequent breach thereof, and if any

                                       21
<PAGE>   27

breach shall occur and afterwards be compromised, settled or adjusted, this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if no breach had occurred.

         21.      Assignment and Subletting.

                  (a)      Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent
         of Landlord, such consent of Landlord not to be unreasonably withheld
         or delayed, assign this Lease or any interest herein or in the Demised
         Premises, or mortgage, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise
         transfer or sublet the Demised Premises or any part thereof or permit
         the use of the Demised Premises by any party other than Tenant. Consent
         to one or more such transfers or subleases shall not destroy or waive
         this provision, and all subsequent transfers and subleases shall
         likewise be made only upon obtaining the prior written consent of
         Landlord. Without limiting the foregoing prohibition, in no event shall
         Tenant assign this Lease or any interest herein, whether directly,
         indirectly or by operation of law, or sublet the Demised Premises or
         any part thereof or permit the use of the Demised Premises or any part
         thereof by any party (i) if the proposed assignee or subtenant is a
         party who would (or whose use would) detract from the character of the
         Building as a first-class building, such as, without limitation, a
         dental, medical or chiropractic office or a governmental office, (ii)
         if the proposed use of the Demised Premises shall involve an occupancy
         rate of more than one (1) person per 150 square feet of Rentable Floor
         Area within the Demised Premises, (iii) if the proposed assignment or
         subletting shall be to a governmental subdivision or agency or any
         person or entity who enjoys diplomatic or sovereign immunity (unless
         Landlord is, at such time, leasing space in the Building to such
         entity), or (iv) if such proposed assignment, subletting or use would
         contravene any restrictive covenant (including any exclusive use)
         granted to any other tenant of the Building. At Landlord's option,
         sublessees or transferees of the Demised Premises for the balance of
         the Lease Term shall become directly liable to Landlord for all
         obligations of Tenant hereunder, without relieving Tenant (or any
         guarantor of Tenant's obligations hereunder) of any liability therefor,
         and Tenant shall remain obligated for all liability to Landlord arising
         under this Lease during the entire remaining Lease Term including any
         extensions thereof, whether or not authorized herein. If Tenant is a
         partnership, a withdrawal or change, whether voluntary, involuntary or
         by operation of law, of partners owning a controlling interest in the
         Tenant shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease and subject
         to the foregoing provisions, unless such involves a transaction in
         which the successor or surviving entity, subject to and assuming this
         Lease, has a net worth equal to or greater than the predecessor entity
         and will be utilizing the Demised Premises for a purpose substantially
         similar to the use of the predecessor, and in any event Tenant shall
         provide notice to, but does not have to obtain the prior consent of
         Landlord, concerning such transaction. If Tenant is a corporation
         (including a limited liability company), any dissolution, merger,
         consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, or the sale or
         transfer of a controlling interest in the capital stock of Tenant,
         shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease and subject to the
         foregoing provisions, unless such involves a transaction in which the
         successor or surviving entity, subject to and assuming this Lease, has
         a net worth equal to or greater than the predecessor entity had as of
         the date of execution and delivery of this Lease by all parties hereto,
         and will be utilizing the Demised Premises for a purpose substantially

                                       22
<PAGE>   28

         similar to the use of the predecessor, and in any event Tenant shall
         provide notice to, but does not have to obtain the prior consent of
         Landlord, concerning such transaction. Tenant may also have affiliated
         entities conducting business within the Demised Premises with notice
         to, but without the consent of Landlord, as long as there is no
         physical separation of or distinct area for such other entities, and
         such other parties otherwise comply with the terms of the Lease.

                  (b)      Landlord may, as a prior condition to considering any
         request for consent to an assignment or sublease, require Tenant to
         obtain and submit current financial statements of any proposed
         subtenant or assignee. If Landlord consents to an assignment or
         sublease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a fee to cover legal fees
         actually incurred by Landlord as a result of the assignment or
         sublease, such legal fees due from Tenant not to exceed $1,000.00 per
         occurrence or request. Fifty percent (50%) of any consideration, in
         excess of the Rent and other charges and sums due and payable by Tenant
         under this Lease, paid to Tenant by any assignee of this Lease for its
         assignment, or by any sublessee under or in connection with its
         sublease, or otherwise paid to Tenant by another party for use and
         occupancy of the Demised Premises or any portion thereof, shall be
         promptly remitted by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent hereunder
         and Tenant shall have no right or claim thereto as against Landlord;
         provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to deduct from such
         any reasonable expenses actually incurred by Tenant in procuring such a
         sublease or assignment, including but not limited to (i) any
         improvement allowance or other economic concession (planning allowance,
         moving expenses, and the like) paid by Tenant to sublessee or assignee;
         (ii) brokers' commissions; (iii) attorneys fees; (iv) lease takeover
         payments; (v) costs of advertising the space for sublease or
         assignment; and (vi) unamortized cost of initial improvements funded by
         Tenant (calculated in accordance with the formula set forth in Exhibit
         H). No assignment of this Lease consented to by Landlord shall be
         effective unless and until Landlord shall receive an original
         assignment and assumption agreement, in form and substance satisfactory
         to Landlord, signed by Tenant and Tenant's proposed assignee, whereby
         the assignee assumes due performance of this Lease to be done and
         performed for the balance of the then remaining Lease Term of this
         Lease. No subletting of the Demised Premises, or any part thereof,
         shall be effective unless and until there shall have been delivered to
         Landlord an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord,
         signed by Tenant and the proposed sublessee, whereby the sublessee
         acknowledges the right of Landlord to continue or terminate any
         sublease, in Landlord's sole discretion, upon termination of this
         Lease, and such sublessee agrees to recognize and attorn to Landlord if
         Landlord elects under such circumstances to continue such sublease.

         22.      Destruction.

                  (a)      If the Demised Premises are damaged by fire or other
         casualty, the same shall be repaired or rebuilt as speedily as
         practical under the circumstances at the expense of the Landlord
         (subject to subparagraph [c] below), unless this Lease is terminated as
         provided in this Article 22, and during the period required for
         restoration, a just and

                                       23
<PAGE>   29

         proportionate part of Base Rental and Tenant's Additional Rental shall
         be abated until the Demised Premises are repaired or rebuilt.

                  (b)      If the Demised Premises are (i) damaged to such an
         extent that repairs cannot, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, be
         completed within one (1) year after the date of the casualty or (ii)
         damaged or destroyed as a result of a risk which is not insured under
         standard special form/all-risk insurance policies, or (iii) damaged or
         destroyed during the last eighteen (18) months of the Lease Term, or if
         the Building is damaged in whole or in part (whether or not the Demised
         Premises are damaged), to such an extent that the Building cannot, in
         Landlord's reasonable judgment, be operated economically as an integral
         unit, then and in any such event Landlord may at its option terminate
         this Lease by notice in writing to the Tenant within sixty (60) days
         after the date of such occurrence. If the Demised Premises are damaged
         to such an extent that repairs cannot, in Landlord's judgment, be
         completed within one (1) year after the date of the casualty, if the
         Demised Premises are substantially damaged during the last eighteen
         (18) months of the Lease Term, or if Landlord indicates to Tenant that
         such repairs will be completed within one (1) year after the casualty,
         but then fails to so complete such repairs within said one (1) year
         period, then in any of such events, Tenant may elect to terminate this
         Lease by notice in writing to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after
         the date of such occurrence. Unless Landlord or Tenant elects to
         terminate this Lease as hereinabove provided, this Lease will remain in
         full force and effect and Landlord shall repair such damage at its
         expense to the extent required in this Article as expeditiously as
         possible under the circumstances.

                  (c)      If Landlord should elect or be obligated pursuant to
         subparagraph (a) above to repair or rebuild because of any damage or
         destruction, Landlord's obligation shall be limited to the original
         Building and any other work or improvements in the Demised Premises (to
         the extent such leasehold improvements can be restored for the amount
         of the Construction Allowance applicable thereto) and shall not extend
         to any furniture, equipment, supplies or other personal property owned
         or leased by Tenant, its employees, contractors, invitees or licensees.
         If the cost of performing such repairs and restoration exceeds the
         actual proceeds of insurance paid or payable to Landlord on account of
         such casualty, or if Landlord's mortgagee or the lessor under a ground
         or underlying lease shall require that any insurance proceeds from a
         casualty loss be paid to it, Landlord may terminate this Lease unless
         Tenant, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, deposits with
         Landlord a sum of money sufficient to pay the difference between the
         cost of repair and the proceeds of the insurance available to Landlord
         for such purpose.

                  (d)      In no event shall Landlord be liable for any loss or
         damage sustained by Tenant by reason of casualties mentioned
         hereinabove or any other accidental casualty.

         23.      Landlord's Lien. Intentionally Deleted.

         24.      Services by Landlord. Landlord shall provide the Building
Standard Services described on Exhibit "E" attached hereto and by reference made
a part hereof.

                                       24
<PAGE>   30

         25.      Attorneys' Fees and Homestead. If any Rent or other debt owing
by Tenant to Landlord hereunder that is late is collected by or through an
attorney-at-law, Tenant agrees to pay an additional amount equal to Landlord's
reasonable attorney's fees actually incurred in connection with such action. If
Landlord or Tenant uses the services of any attorney in order to secure
compliance with any other provisions of this Lease, to recover damages for any
breach or default of any other provisions of this Lease, or to terminate this
Lease, the non-prevailing party in any such matter shall reimburse the other
party hereto upon demand for any and all attorney's fees and expenses so
incurred by the prevailing party. Tenant waives all homestead rights and
exemptions which it may have under any law as against any obligation owing under
this Lease, and assigns to Landlord its homestead and exemptions to the extent
necessary to secure payment and performance of its covenants and agreements
hereunder.

         26.      Time. Time is of the essence of this Lease and whenever a
certain day is stated for payment or performance of any obligation of Tenant or
Landlord, the same enters into and becomes a part of the consideration hereof.

         27.      Subordination and Attornment.

                  (a)      Tenant agrees that this Lease and all rights of
         Tenant hereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate to any ground
         or underlying lease which may hereafter be in effect regarding the
         Project or any component thereof, to any mortgage now or hereafter
         encumbering the Demised Premises or the Project or any component
         thereof, to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security
         of such mortgage, to all amendments, modifications, renewals,
         consolidations, extensions, and restatements of such mortgage, and to
         any replacements and substitutions for such mortgage, so long as, a
         part of such subordination, the party receiving the benefit of such
         agrees to provide a non-disturbance agreement for Tenant, which
         instrument shall be delivered within six (6) months after the mortgage
         is first put on public record in the records of Cobb County, Georgia.
         Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that, as of the date of this
         Lease, there is no underlying land lease affecting the Lease or
         encumbering the Property or Building, and the only deeds to secure
         debt, mortgages, or other first priority security title or security
         interest encumbering its estate in the Property is one in favor of The
         Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("Mortgagee"). Landlord shall use
         all reasonable efforts to deliver to Tenant, as soon as possible after
         the execution and delivery of this Lease by Landlord and Tenant, a
         fully executed subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement
         from Mortgagee, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "J", by this
         reference incorporated herein and in any event will deliver such to
         Tenant within six (6) months after this Lease is duly executed and
         delivered by all parties hereto. The terms of this provision shall be
         self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be
         required. Tenant, however, upon request of any party in interest, shall
         execute promptly such instrument or certificates as may be reasonably
         required to carry out the intent hereof, whether said requirement is
         that of Landlord or any other party in interest, including, without
         limitation, any mortgagee. Landlord is hereby irrevocably vested with
         full power and authority as attorney-in-fact for Tenant and in

                                       25
<PAGE>   31

         Tenant's name, place and stead, to subordinate Tenant's interest under
         this Lease to the lien or security title of any mortgage and to any
         future instrument amending, modifying, renewing, consolidating,
         extending, restating, replacing or substituting any such mortgage.

                  (b)      If any mortgagee or lessee under a ground or
         underlying lease elects to have this Lease superior to its mortgage or
         lease and signifies its election in the instrument creating its lien or
         lease or by separate recorded instrument, then this Lease shall be
         superior to such mortgage or lease, as the case may be. The term
         "mortgage", as used in this Lease, includes any deed to secure debt,
         deed of trust or security deed and any other instrument creating a lien
         in connection with any other method of financing or refinancing. The
         term "mortgagee", as used in this Lease, refers to the holder(s) of the
         indebtedness secured by a mortgage.

                  (c)      In the event any proceedings are brought for the
         foreclosure of, or in the event of exercise of the power of sale under,
         any mortgage covering the Demised Premises or the Project, or in the
         event the interests of Landlord under this Lease shall be transferred
         by reason of deed in lieu of foreclosure or other legal proceedings, or
         in the event of termination of any lease under which Landlord may hold
         title, Tenant shall, at the option of the transferee or purchaser at
         foreclosure or under power of sale, or the lessor of the Landlord upon
         such lease termination, as the case may be (sometimes hereinafter
         called "such person"), attorn to such person and shall recognize and be
         bound and obligated hereunder to such person as the Landlord under this
         Lease; provided, however, that no such person shall be (i) bound by any
         payment of Rent for more than one (1) month in advance, except
         prepayments in the nature of security for the performance by Tenant of
         its obligations under this Lease (and then only if such prepayments
         have been deposited with and are under the control of such person);
         (ii) bound by any amendment or modification of this Lease made without
         the express written consent of the mortgagee or lessor of the Landlord,
         as the case may be; (iii) obligated to cure any defaults under this
         Lease of any prior landlord (including Landlord); (iv) liable for any
         act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord); (v) subject
         to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior
         landlord (including Landlord); or (vi) bound by any warranty or
         representation of any prior landlord (including Landlord) relating to
         work performed by any prior landlord (including Landlord) under this
         Lease. Tenant agrees to execute any attornment agreement not in
         conflict herewith requested by Landlord, the mortgagee or such person.
         Tenant's obligation to attorn to such person shall survive the exercise
         of any such power of sale, foreclosure or other proceeding. Tenant
         agrees that the institution of any suit, action or other proceeding by
         any mortgagee to realize on Landlord's interest in the Demised Premises
         or the Building pursuant to the powers granted to a mortgagee under its
         mortgage, shall not, by operation of law or otherwise, result in the
         cancellation or termination of the obligations of the Tenant hereunder.
         Landlord and Tenant agree that notwithstanding that this Lease is
         expressly subject and subordinate to any mortgages, any mortgagee, its
         successors and assigns, or other

                                       26
<PAGE>   32

         holder of a mortgage or of a note secured thereby, may sell the Demised
         Premises or the Building, in the manner provided in the mortgage and
         may, at the option of such mortgagee, its successors and assigns, or
         other holder of the mortgage or note secured thereby, make such sale of
         the Demised Premises or Building subject to this Lease.

         28.      Estoppel Certificates. Within ten (10) days after request
therefor by Landlord, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord in
recordable form an estoppel certificate addressed to Landlord, any mortgagee or
assignee of Landlord's interest in, or purchaser of, the Demised Premises or the
Building or any part thereof, certifying (if such be the case) that this Lease
is unmodified and is in full force and effect (and if there have been
modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating
said modifications); that there are no defenses or offsets against the
enforcement thereof or stating those claimed by Tenant; and stating the date to
which Rent and other charges have been paid. Such certificate shall also include
such other information as may reasonably be required by such mortgagee, proposed
mortgagee, assignee, purchaser or Landlord. Any such certificate may be relied
upon by Landlord, any mortgagee, proposed mortgagee, assignee, purchaser and any
other party to whom such certificate is addressed. If Tenant fails to timely
execute, acknowledge and deliver such certificates within ten (10) days after
Landlord's request, then Landlord may provide another notice to Tenant,
requesting the estoppel certificate and indicating that Tenant has failed to
previously respond. If Tenant fails to provide the estoppel certificate within
ten (10) days after this second notice, then the information set forth in such
certificate so given by Landlord shall be deemed true and correct, and Tenant
shall have waived any rights to claim or state otherwise or to the contrary.

         29.      No Estate. This Lease shall create the relationship of
landlord and tenant only between Landlord and Tenant and no estate shall pass
out of Landlord. Tenant shall have only an usufruct, not subject to levy and
sale and not assignable in whole or in part by Tenant except as herein provided.

         30.      Cumulative Rights. All rights, powers and privileges conferred
hereunder upon the parties hereto shall be cumulative to, but not restrictive
of, or in lieu of those conferred by law.

         31.      Holding Over.

         (a)      If Tenant remains in possession after expiration or
termination of the Lease Term with or without Landlord's written consent, Tenant
shall become a tenant-at-sufferance, and there shall be no renewal of this Lease
by operation of law. During the period of any such holding over, all provisions
of this Lease shall be and remain in effect except that the monthly rental shall
be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount of Rent (including any
adjustments as provided herein) payable for the last full calendar month of the
Lease Term including renewals or extensions, for the first three (3) months of
the holdover, and then double the amount of Rent due in the last full calendar
month of the Lease Term, thereafter. The inclusion of the preceding sentence in
this Lease shall not be construed as Landlord's consent for Tenant to hold over.

         (b)      Tenant shall have the right, by giving notice to Landlord at
least eighteen (18) months prior notice, to hold over in the Demised Premises
after the expiration of the Lease Term for a period of between two (2) and six
(6) months, at a Base Rental rate per annum established under Article 6 herein,
but not to exceed $18.683 per square foot of Rentable Floor Area, per

                                       27
<PAGE>   33

annum, for such period, and with Tenant's Additional Rental due in accordance
with the terms of this Lease. Tenant shall provide, in such notice, the exact
number of months which Tenant desires to remain in the Demised Premises under
the terms of this Article 31(b) and, upon the giving of such notice, Tenant
shall have irrevocably agreed to lease the Demised Premises for the period
specified in the notice.

         32.      Surrender of Premises. (a) Upon the expiration or other
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender to Landlord the
Demised Premises and every part thereof and all alterations, additions and
improvements thereto, broom clean and in good condition and state of repair,
reasonable wear and tear only excepted. If Tenant shall fail or refuse to remove
all of Tenant's effects, personalty and equipment from the Demised Premises upon
the expiration or termination of this Lease for any cause whatsoever or upon the
Tenant being dispossessed by process of law or otherwise, such effects,
personalty and equipment shall be deemed conclusively to be abandoned and may be
appropriated, sold, stored, destroyed or otherwise disposed of by Landlord
without written notice to Tenant or any other party and without obligation to
account for them. Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand any and all expenses
incurred by Landlord in the removal of such property, including, without
limitation, the cost of repairing any damage to the Building or Project caused
by the removal of such property and storage charges (if Landlord elects to store
such property). The covenants and conditions of this Article 32 shall survive
any expiration or termination of this Lease. Landlord acknowledges that nothing
built into or a part of the Demised Premises as of the date this Lease is duly
executed and delivered must be removed by Tenant at the end of the Lease Term.

         (b)      Tenant at all times will retain the right to relocate or
remove any and all floor mounted HVAC units and UPS systems in the Demised
Premises. Tenant's sole obligation upon removal of such systems will be to
restore and repair all Building and Tenant flooring systems, walls and
appropriate wall coverings or paint as necessary to return the area effected by
the removal to an aesthetic level matching its surroundings, including the
repair of any holes or penetrations in the walls or floor.

         33.      Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given
hereunder shall be in writing and may be delivered in person to either party or
may be sent by courier (including a recognized overnight courier service) or by
United States Mail, certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Any
such notice shall be deemed received by the party to whom it was sent (i) in the
case of personal delivery or courier delivery, on the date of delivery to such
party, and (ii) in the case of certified mail, the date receipt is acknowledged
on the return receipt for such notice or, if delivery is rejected or refused or
the U.S. Postal Service is unable to deliver same because of changed address of
which no notice was given pursuant hereto, the first date of such rejection,
refusal or inability to deliver. All such notices shall be addressed to Landlord
or Tenant at their respective address set forth hereinabove or at such other
address as either party shall have theretofore given to the other by notice as
herein provided. Tenant hereby designates and appoints as its agent to receive
notice of all distraint proceedings and all other notices required under this
Lease, the person in charge of the Demised Premises at the time said notice is
given or occupying said Demised Premises at said time; and, if no person is in
charge of or occupying the said Demised Premises, then such service or

                                       28
<PAGE>   34

notice may be made by attaching the same, in lieu of mailing, on the main
entrance to the Demised Premises.

         34.      Damage or Theft of Personal Property. All personal property
brought into Demised Premises by Tenant, or Tenant's employees or business
visitors, shall be at the risk of Tenant only, and Landlord shall not be liable
for theft thereof or any damage thereto occasioned by any act of co-tenants,
occupants, invitees or other users of the Building or any other person, unless
arising out of Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Landlord shall
not at any time be liable for damage to any property in or upon the Demised
Premises, which results from power surges or other deviations from the constancy
of electrical service or from gas, smoke, water, rain, ice or snow which issues
or leaks from or forms upon any part of the Building or from the pipes or
plumbing work of the same, or from any other place whatsoever, unless arising
out of Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

         35.      Eminent Domain.

                  (a)      If all or part of the Demised Premises shall be taken
         for any public or quasi-public use by virtue of the exercise of the
         power of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof, this Lease
         shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date of taking, and,
         in the case of a partial taking, either Landlord or Tenant shall have
         the right to terminate this Lease as to the balance of the Demised
         Premises by written notice to the other within thirty (30) days after
         such date; provided, however, that a condition to the exercise by
         Tenant of such right to terminate shall be that the portion of the
         Demised Premises taken shall be of such extent and nature as
         substantially to handicap, impede or impair Tenant's use of the balance
         of the Demised Premises. If title to so much of the Building is taken
         that a reasonable amount of reconstruction thereof will not in
         Landlord's sole discretion result in the Building being a practical
         improvement and reasonably suitable for use for the purpose for which
         it is designed, then this Lease shall terminate on the date that the
         condemning authority actually takes possession of the part so condemned
         or purchased.

                  (b)      If this Lease is terminated under the provisions of
         this Article 35, Rent shall be apportioned and adjusted as of the date
         of termination. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or against
         the condemning authority for the value of any leasehold estate or for
         the value of the unexpired Lease Term provided that the foregoing shall
         not preclude any claim that Tenant may have against the condemning
         authority for the unamortized cost of leasehold improvements, to the
         extent the same were installed at Tenant's expense (and not with the
         proceeds of the Construction Allowance), or for loss of business,
         moving expenses or other consequential damages, in accordance with
         subparagraph (d) below.

                  (c)      If there is a partial taking of the Building and this
         Lease is not thereupon terminated under the provisions of this Article
         35, then this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and Landlord
         shall, within a reasonable time thereafter, repair or reconstruct the
         remaining portion of the Building to the extent necessary to make the
         same a complete architectural unit; provided that in complying with its
         obligations hereunder Landlord shall

                                       29
<PAGE>   35

         not be required to expend more than the net proceeds of the
         condemnation award which are paid to Landlord.

                  (d)      All compensation awarded or paid to Landlord upon a
         total or partial taking of the Demised Premises or the Building shall
         belong to and be the property of Landlord without any participation by
         Tenant. Nothing herein shall be construed to preclude Tenant from
         prosecuting any claim directly against the condemning authority for
         loss of business, for damage to, and cost of removal of, trade
         fixtures, furniture and other personal property belonging to Tenant,
         and for the unamortized cost of leasehold improvements to the extent
         same were installed at Tenant's expense (and not with the `proceeds of
         the Construction Allowance), provided, however, that no such claim
         shall diminish or adversely affect Landlord's award. In no event shall
         Tenant have or assert a claim for the value of any unexpired term of
         this Lease. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this subparagraph
         (d), Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any and all of its right, title
         and interest in or to any compensation awarded or paid as a result of
         any such taking.

                  (e)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
         this Article 35, if, during the Lease Term, the use or occupancy of any
         part of the Building or the Demised Premises shall be taken or
         appropriated temporarily for any public or quasi-public use under any
         governmental law, ordinance, or regulations, or by right of eminent
         domain, this Lease shall be and remain unaffected by such taking or
         appropriation and Tenant shall continue to pay in full all Rent payable
         hereunder by Tenant during the Lease Term. In the event of any such
         temporary appropriation or taking, Tenant shall be entitled to receive
         that portion of any award which represents compensation for the loss of
         use or occupancy of the Demised Premises during the Lease Term, and
         Landlord shall be entitled to receive that portion of any award which
         represents the cost of restoration and compensation for the loss of use
         or occupancy of the Demised Premises after the end of the Lease Term.

         36.      Parties. The term "Landlord", as used in this Lease, shall
include Landlord and its assigns and successors. It is hereby covenanted and
agreed by Tenant that should Landlord's interest in the Demised Premises cease
to exist for any reason during the Lease Term, then notwithstanding the
happening of such event, this Lease nevertheless shall remain in full force and
effect, and Tenant hereby agrees to attorn to the then owner of the Demised
Premises. The term "Tenant" shall include Tenant and its heirs, legal
representatives and successors, and shall also include Tenant's assignees and
sublessees, if this Lease shall be validly assigned or the Demised Premises
sublet for the balance of the Lease Term or any renewals or extensions thereof.
In addition, Landlord and Tenant covenant and agree that Landlord's right to
transfer or assign Landlord's interest in and to the Demised Premises, or any
part or parts thereof, shall be unrestricted, and that in the event of any such
transfer or assignment by Landlord which includes the Demised Premises,
Landlord's obligations to Tenant hereunder shall cease and terminate, and Tenant
shall look only and solely to Landlord's assignee or transferee for performance
thereof.

         37.      Liability. Tenant hereby indemnifies Landlord from and agrees
to hold Landlord harmless against, any and all liability, loss, cost, damage or
expense, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorney's
fees, imposed on Landlord by any person whomsoever, by the

                                       30
<PAGE>   36

gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, or any of its employees,
contractors, servants, agents, subtenants, assignees or representatives acting
within the scope of their respective authority. Landlord hereby indemnifies
Tenant from and agrees to hold Tenant harmless against, any and all liability,
loss, cost, damage or expense, including, without limitation, court costs and
reasonable attorney's fees, imposed on Tenant by any person whomsoever, by the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, or any of its employees,
contractors, servants, agents, subtenants, assignees or representatives acting
within the scope of their respective authority. The provisions of this Article
37 shall survive any termination of this Lease.

         38.      Relocation of the Premises. With respect to (i) the 6th Floor
LOMA Space; (ii) the 8th Floor Chevron Space; and (iii) any other portion of the
Demises Premises which consists of less than 10,000 contiguous square feet of
Rentable Floor Area which is located on a floor which Tenant leases a part of,
but not all of, Landlord reserves the right at any time or from time to time, at
Landlord's option and upon giving not less than ninety (90) days' prior written
notice to Tenant (except, with respect to the 8th Floor Chevron Space, for which
Landlord shall provide Tenant not less than one hundred eighty (180) days prior
written notice), to transfer and remove Tenant from such portion of the Demised
Premises to any other available rooms and offices of no less size and area in
the Building, with no greater Base Rental or Tenant's Additional Rental due from
Tenant as a result of such relocation. If Landlord elects to relocate a portion
of the Demised Premises off of a floor, then Landlord must relocate all portions
of the Demised Premises on that floor which are contiguous with the portion
being relocated. With respect to a relocation of the 8th Floor Chevron Space,
Landlord shall replicate in all material respects, the data center of Tenant
located therein. With respect to the 8th Floor Chevron Space and the data center
located therein, relocation costs which are reimbursable to Tenant shall include
the cost of temporary hardware, and professional services and fees incurred in
connection with the disconnection and re-connection of the data center (in
another location). Landlord shall bear the expense of removal of all equipment,
furniture and fixtures, required as a part of or in connection with any
relocation, together with the cost and expense of any renovation or alterations,
including cabling and telecommunications equipment, to all substituted space
hereunder necessary to make the same substantially conform in arrangement and
layout to the original space described in this Lease, such arrangement and
layout to be to the reasonable satisfaction of Tenant, from which said
relocation is taking place. Landlord shall also provide Tenant replacement
stationery for that stationery made obsolete by such relocation. If Landlord
exercises such option, then the substituted space shall for all purposes hereof
be deemed to be and to constitute the Demised Premises under this Lease and all
terms, conditions, covenants, warranties, agreements and provisions of this
Lease including but not limited to the same Base Rental Rate per square foot of
Rentable Floor Area shall continue in full force and effect and shall apply to
the substituted space. Tenant agrees to vacate the Demised Premises herein
specified and relocate to said substituted space as soon as reasonable possible
after the substituted space is ready for Tenant's occupancy as provided herein,
and Tenant's failure to do so shall constitute an event of default by Tenant
under this Lease. Following the exercise by Landlord of such relocation option,
Landlord and Tenant agree to execute and deliver as soon as reasonably possible
an appropriate amendment to this Lease reflecting the changes in this Lease
described or contemplated above; provided, however, that Tenant's failure or
refusal to execute or deliver such an amendment shall not limit or impair the
effectiveness of the relocation. In no event shall any relocation cause an

                                       31
<PAGE>   37

increase in the amount of Rent due from Tenant or reduce the square feet of
Rentable Floor Area leased by Tenant.

         39.      Force Majeure. In the event of strike, lockout, labor trouble,
civil commotion, Act of God, or any other cause beyond a party's control
(collectively "force majeure") resulting in the Landlord's inability to supply
the services or perform the other obligations required of Landlord hereunder,
this Lease shall not terminate and Tenant's obligation to pay Rent and all other
charges and sums due and payable by Tenant shall not be affected or excused and
Landlord shall not be considered to be in default under this Lease. If, as a
result of force majeure, Tenant is delayed in performing any of its obligations
under this Lease, other than Tenant's obligation to take possession of the
Demised Premises on or before the Rental Commencement Date and to pay Rent and
all other charges and sums payable by Tenant hereunder, Tenant's performance
shall be excused for a period equal to such delay and Tenant shall not during
such period be considered to be in default under this Lease with respect to the
obligation, performance of which has thus been delayed.

         40.      Landlord's Liability. Landlord shall have no personal
liability with respect to any of the provisions of this Lease. If Landlord is in
default with respect to its obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall look
solely to the equity of Landlord in and to the Building and the Land described
in Exhibit "A" hereto for satisfaction of Tenant's remedies, if any. It is
expressly understood and agreed that Landlord's liability under the terms of
this Lease shall in no event exceed the amount of its interest in and to said
Land and Building. In no event shall any partner of Landlord nor any joint
venturer in Landlord, nor any officer, director or shareholder of Landlord or
any such partner or joint venturer of Landlord be personally liable with respect
to any of the provisions of this Lease.

         41.      Landlord's Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment. Provided Tenant
performs the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease, and subject to the
terms and provisions hereof, Landlord covenants and agrees to take all necessary
steps to secure and to maintain for the benefit of Tenant the quiet and peaceful
possession of the Demised Premises, for the Lease Term, without hindrance, claim
or molestation by Landlord or any other person lawfully claiming under Landlord.

         42.      Security Deposit.

                  (a)      As security for the faithful performance by Tenant
         throughout the Lease Term, and any extensions or renewals thereof, of
         all the terms and conditions of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be
         performed, Tenant has deposited with Landlord the sum set forth in
         Article 1(n) above. Such amount shall be returned to Tenant, without
         interest, on January 1, 2003, provided Tenant has fully and faithfully
         observed and performed all of the terms, covenants, agreements,
         warranties and conditions hereof on its part to be observed and
         performed. Landlord shall have the right to apply all or any part of
         said deposit toward the cure of any default of Tenant. If all or any
         part of said security deposit is so applied by Landlord, then Tenant
         shall immediately pay to Landlord an amount sufficient to return said
         security deposit to the balance on deposit with Landlord prior to said
         application.

                                       32
<PAGE>   38

                  (b)      In a sale or transfer of Landlord's interest in the
         Demised Premises or the Building or a lease by Landlord of the
         Building, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the within
         described security deposit to the purchaser or lessee, as the case may
         be, and Landlord shall be relieved of all liability to Tenant for the
         return of such security deposit. The Tenant shall look solely to the
         new owner or lessor for the return of said security deposit. The
         security deposit shall not be mortgaged, assigned or encumbered by
         Tenant.

                  (c)      Landlord shall not be required to keep the security
         deposit separate from its general accounts.

         43.      Hazardous Substances.

                  (a)      Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that Tenant shall
         not cause or permit any Hazardous Substances to be generated, placed,
         held, stored, used, located or disposed of at the Project or any part
         thereof, except for Hazardous Substances as are commonly and legally
         used or stored as a consequence of using the Demised Premises for
         general office and administrative purposes, but only so long as the
         quantities thereof do not pose a threat to public health or to the
         environment or would necessitate a "response action", as that term is
         defined in CERCLA (as hereinafter defined), and so long as Tenant
         strictly complies or causes compliance with all applicable governmental
         rules and regulations concerning the use, storage, production,
         transportation and disposal of such Hazardous Substances. Promptly upon
         receipt of Landlord's request, Tenant shall submit to Landlord true and
         correct copies of any reports filed by Tenant with any governmental or
         quasi-governmental authority regarding the generation, placement,
         storage, use, treatment or disposal of Hazardous Substances on or about
         the Demised Premises. For purposes of this Article 43, "Hazardous
         Substances" shall mean and include those elements or compounds which
         are contained in the list of Hazardous Substances adopted by the United
         States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or in any list of toxic
         pollutants designated by Congress or the EPA or which are defined as
         hazardous, toxic, pollutant, infectious or radioactive by any other
         federal, state or local statute, law, ordinance, code, rule,
         regulation, order or decree regulating, relating to or imposing
         liability (including, without limitation, strict liability) or
         standards of conduct concerning, any hazardous, toxic or dangerous
         waste, substance or material, as now or at any time hereinafter in
         effect (collectively "Environmental Laws"). Tenant hereby agrees to
         indemnify Landlord and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and
         all losses, liabilities, including strict liability, damages, injuries,
         expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, costs of settlement or
         judgment and claims of any and every kind whatsoever paid, incurred or
         suffered by, or asserted against, Landlord by any person, entity or
         governmental agency for, with respect to, or as a direct or indirect
         result of, the presence in, or the escape, leakage, spillage,
         discharge, emission or release from, the Demised Premises of any
         Hazardous Substances (including, without limitation, any losses,
         liabilities, including strict liability, damages, injuries, expenses,
         including reasonable attorneys' fees, costs of any settlement or
         judgment or claims asserted or arising under the Comprehensive
         Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ["CERCLA"], any
         so-called federal, state or local "Superfund" or "Superlien" laws or
         any other Environmental Law); provided, however, that the foregoing
         indemnity is limited to matters

                                       33
<PAGE>   39

         arising solely from Tenant's violation of the covenant contained in
         this Article. The obligations of Tenant under this Article shall
         survive any expiration or termination of this Lease.

                  (b)      To the best of Landlord's knowledge and belief, but
         without any independent investigation or inquiry of any kind or nature
         whatsoever, there are no Hazardous Substances in the Demised Premises
         other than "Permitted Hazardous Substances", as that term is defined
         below. Landlord has not been given a notice of any violation of law
         arising out of Hazardous Substances in the Building. Landlord covenants
         and agrees that if any Hazardous Substances other than Permitted
         Hazardous Substances are found in the Project in such amounts and
         locations as would require Landlord to remove such materials as a
         matter of law, then Landlord shall remove or cause to be removed such
         Hazardous Substances. Such removal shall be accomplished in a manner
         that does not cause an unreasonable disruption to Tenant's operations
         in the Demised Premises. The cost of such removal shall not be an
         Operating Expense to Tenant, unless the substance in question became a
         Hazardous Substance as a result of or in connection with a law which
         was passed after the date of this Lease.

                  (c)      The term "Permitted Hazardous Substances" shall mean
         such Hazardous Substances as are commonly and legally used or stored as
         a consequence of using, maintaining or operating the Project, but only
         so long as the quantities thereof do not pose a threat to public health
         or to the environment or would necessitate a "response action" as that
         term is defined in CERCLA, and so long as Landlord strictly complies or
         causes compliance with all applicable governmental rules and
         regulations concerning the use, storage, production, transportation and
         disposal of such Hazardous Substances.

         44.      Submission of Lease. The submission of this Lease for
examination does not constitute an offer to lease and this Lease shall be
effective only upon execution hereof by Landlord and Tenant.

         45.      Severability. If any clause or provision of this Lease is
illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, the remainder of
this Lease shall not be affected thereby, and in lieu of each clause or
provision of this Lease which is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there shall
be added as a part of this Lease a clause or provision as nearly identical to
the said clause or provision as may be legal, valid and enforceable.

         46.      Entire Agreement. This Lease contains the entire agreement of
the parties and no representations, inducements, promises or agreements, oral or
otherwise, between the parties not embodied herein shall be of any force or
effect. No failure of Landlord to exercise any power given Landlord hereunder,
or to insist upon strict compliance by Tenant with any obligation of Tenant
hereunder, and no custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms
hereof, shall constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to demand exact compliance
with the terms hereof. This Lease may not be altered, waived, amended or
extended except by an instrument in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant. This
Lease is not in recordable form, and Tenant agrees not to record or cause to be
recorded this Lease or any short form or memorandum thereof.

         48.      Broker. CPI HAS REPRESENTED LANDLORD IN THIS TRANSACTION, AND
INSIGNIA/ESG HAS REPRESENTED TENANT IN THIS TRANSACTION. BROKER(S) (AS DEFINED
IN ARTICLE 1[O]) IS (ARE) ENTITLED TO A LEASING COMMISSION FROM LANDLORD BY

BROKER(S) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF A SEPARATE AGREEMENT BETWEEN LANDLORD
AND BROKER(S). Tenant hereby authorizes Broker(s) and Landlord to identify
Tenant as a tenant of the Building and to state the amount of space leased by
Tenant in advertisements and promotional materials relating to the Building.
Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that (except with respect to any
Broker[s] identified in Article 1[o] hereinabove) no broker, agent, commission
salesperson, or other person has represented Tenant in the negotiations for and
procurement of this Lease and of the Demised Premises and that (except with
respect to any Broker[s] identified in Article 1[o] hereinabove) no commissions,
fees, or compensation of any kind are due and payable in connection herewith to
any broker, agent, commission salesperson, or other person as a result of any
act or agreement of Tenant. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord
harmless from all loss, liability, damage, claim, judgment, cost or expense
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) suffered or incurred by
Landlord as a result of a breach by Tenant of the representation and warranty
contained in the immediately preceding sentence or as a result of Tenant's
failure to pay commissions, fees, or compensation due to any broker who
represented Tenant, whether or not disclosed, or as a result of any claim for
any fee, commission or similar compensation with respect to this Lease made by
any broker, agent or finder (other than the Broker[s] identified in Article 1[o]
hereinabove) claiming to have dealt with Tenant, whether or not such claim is
meritorious. Tenant shall cause any agent or broker representing Tenant to
execute a lien waiver to and for the benefit of Landlord, waiving any and all
lien rights with respect to the Building and Land which such agent or broker has
or might have under Georgia law.

         49.      Governing Law. The laws of the State of Georgia shall govern
the validity, performance and enforcement of this Lease.

         50.      Special Stipulations. The special stipulations attached hereto
as Exhibit "G" are hereby incorporated herein by this reference as though fully
set forth.

         51.      Authority. If Tenant executes this Lease as a corporation,
each of the persons executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant does hereby
personally represent and warrant that Tenant is a duly incorporated or a duly
qualified (if a foreign corporation) corporation and is fully authorized and
qualified to do business in the State in which the Demised Premises are located,
that the corporation has full right and authority to enter into this Lease, and
that each person signing on behalf of the corporation is an officer of the
corporation and is authorized to sign on behalf of the corporation. If Tenant
signs as a partnership, joint venture, or sole proprietorship or other business
entity (each being herein called "Entity"), each of the persons executing on
behalf of Tenant does

                                       35
<PAGE>   41

hereby covenant and warrant that Tenant is a duly authorized and existing
Entity, that Tenant has full right and authority to enter into this Lease, that
all persons executing this Lease on behalf of the Entity are authorized to do so
on behalf of the Entity, and that such execution is fully binding upon the
Entity and its partners, joint venturers, or principal, as the case may be. Upon
the request of Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord documentation
satisfactory to Landlord evidencing Tenant's compliance with this Article, and
Tenant agrees to promptly execute all necessary and reasonable applications or
documents as reasonably requested by Landlord, required by the jurisdiction in
which the Demised Premises is located, to permit the issuance of necessary
permits and certificates for Tenant's use and occupancy of the Demised Premises.

         52.      Financial Statements. Upon Landlord's written request
therefor, but not more often than once per year, Tenant shall promptly furnish
to Landlord a financial statement with respect to Tenant for its most recent
fiscal year prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
and certified to be true and correct by Tenant, which statement Landlord agrees
to keep confidential and not use except in connection with proposed sale or loan
transactions.

         53.      Joint and Several Liability. If Tenant comprises more than one
person, corporation, partnership or other entity, the liability hereunder of all
such persons, corporations, partnerships or other entities shall be joint and
several.

         54.      ERISA Compliance. Tenant represents to Landlord that Tenant is
not an "employee benefit plan", a "plan" or a "governmental plan" as defined
below or an entity whose assets constitute "plan assets" as defined below. The
term "employee benefit plan" means an "employee benefit plan" as defined in
Section 3(3) of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended ("ERISA"), which is subject to Title I of ERISA. The term "plan" means a
"plan" as defined in Section 4975(e)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. The term "governmental plan" means a "governmental plan" within the
meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA. The term "plan assets" means "plan assets" of
one or more plans within the meaning of 2a C.F.R. 2510.3-101.

         articles and such articles may be taken in or out of said Building only
         between or during such hours as may be arranged with and designated by
         Landlord. The persons employed to move the same must be approved by
         Landlord. Landlord reserves the right to inspect and, where deemed

         materials, supplies and systems including uninterruptable power
         supplies. Smoking shall not be permitted in any common areas of the
         Building or the Project or in any premises within the Building;
         provided, however, smoking shall be permitted in any premises of the
         Building where the tenant of such premises makes arrangements with
         Landlord for the installation at such tenant's cost of filtration or
         other equipment which in Landlord's judgment is adequate to prevent
         smoke from leaving such premises and entering the common areas or other
         premises of the Building. Until such approved equipment is installed,
         smoking shall not be permitted in a tenant's premises. If Tenant shall
         assert that the air quality in the Demised Premises is unsatisfactory
         or if Tenant shall request any air

                                       2
<PAGE>   45

         quality testing within the Demised Premises, Landlord may elect to
         cause its consultant to test the air quality within the Demised
         Premises and to issue a report regarding same. If the report from such
         tests indicates that the air quality within the Demised Premises is
         comparable to the air quality of other first-class office buildings in
         the market area of the Building, or if the report from such tests
         indicates that the air quality does not meet such standard as a result
         of the activities caused or permitted by Tenant in the Demised
         Premises, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs of the
         applicable tests and report. Additionally, in the event Tenant shall
         cause or permit any activity which shall adversely affect the air
         quality in the Demised Premises, in the common area of the Building or
         in any premises within the Building, Tenant shall be responsible for
         all costs of remedying same.

9.       Every person, including Tenant, its employees and visitors, entering
         and leaving the Building may be questioned by a watchman as to that
         person's business therein and may be required to sign such person's
         name on a form provided by Landlord for registering such person;
         provided that, except for emergencies or other extraordinary
         circumstances, such procedures shall not be required between the hours
         of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., on all days except Saturdays, Sundays and
         Holidays. Landlord shall direct Building security personnel to
         requested photo identification for any people requiring access to the
         Demised Premises through such security service, after Building
         Operating Hours. Landlord may also implement a card access security
         system to control access to the Building during such other times.
         Landlord shall not be liable for excluding any person from the Building
         during such other times, or for admission of any person to the Building
         at any time, or for damages or loss for theft resulting therefrom to
         any person, including Tenant.

10.      Unless agreed to by Landlord, Tenant shall not employ any person other
         than Landlord's contractors for the purpose of cleaning and taking care
         of the Demised Premises. The Building's cleaning specifications are set
         forth in Exhibit "I", by this reference incorporated herein, and
         Landlord shall only use a bonded janitorial service. Cleaning service
         will not be furnished on nights when rooms are occupied such that the
         cleaning service is precluded from entry, unless, by agreement in
         writing, service is extended to a later hour for specifically
         designated rooms. Landlord shall not be responsible for any loss,
         theft, mysterious disappearance of or damage to, any property, however
         occurring. Only persons authorized by Landlord may furnish ice,
         drinking water, towels, and other similar services within the Building
         and only at hours and under regulations fixed by Landlord.

11.      No connection shall be made to the electric wires or gas or electric
         fixtures, without the consent in writing on each occasion of Landlord,
         except as provided elsewhere herein. All glass, locks and trimmings in
         or upon the doors and windows of the Demised Premises shall be kept
         whole and in good repair. Tenant shall not injure, overload or deface
         the Building, the woodwork or the walls of the Demised Premises, nor
         permit upon the Demised Premises any noisome, noxious, noisy or
         offensive business.

12.      If Tenant requires wiring for a bell or buzzer system, such wiring
         shall be done by an approved electrician, and no outside wiring men
         shall be allowed to do work of this kind unless by the written
         permission of Landlord, except as provided elsewhere herein. If

                                       3
<PAGE>   46

         telegraph or telephonic service is desired, the wiring for same shall
         be approved by Landlord, and no boring or cutting for wiring shall be
         done unless approved by Landlord, except as provided elsewhere herein.

13.      Tenant and its employees and invitees shall observe and obey all
         parking and traffic regulations as imposed by Landlord. All vehicles
         shall be parked only in areas designated therefor by Landlord.

14.      Canvassing, peddling, soliciting and distribution of handbills or any
         other written materials in the Building are prohibited, and Tenant
         shall cooperate to prevent the same.

15.      Tenant agrees to participate in the waste recycling programs
         implemented by Landlord for the Building, including any programs and
         procedures for recycling writing paper, computer paper, shipping paper,
         boxes, newspapers and magazines and aluminum cans. If Landlord elects
         to provide collection receptacles for recyclable paper and/or
         recyclable aluminum cans in the Demised Premises, Tenant shall
         designate an appropriate place within the Demised Premises for
         placement thereof, and Tenant shall request its employees to place
         their recyclable papers and/or cans into the applicable such
         receptacles on a daily basis provided that Landlord satisfies any and
         all reasonable security concerns of Tenant.

16.      Any special work or services requested by Tenant to be provided by
         Landlord shall be provided by Landlord only upon request received at
         the Project management office. Building personnel shall not perform any
         work or provide any services outside of their regular duties unless
         special instructions have been issued from Landlord or its managing
         agent.

17.      Landlord shall have the right to change the name of the Building and to
         change the street address of the Building, provided that in the case of
         a change in the street address, Landlord shall give Tenant not less
         than 180 days' prior notice of the change, unless the change is
         required by governmental authority. Landlord will be required to pay
         for all materials that reflect the address that needs to be changed as
         a result of any such change initiated by Landlord.

18.      The directory of the Building will be provided for the display of the
         name and location of the tenants. Any additional name which Tenant
         shall desire to place upon said directory must first be approved by
         Landlord, and if so approved, a reasonable charge will be made
         therefor.

19.      Landlord may waive any one or more of these Rules and Regulations for
         the benefit of any particular lessee, but no such waiver by Landlord
         shall be construed as a waiver of such Rules and Regulations in favor
         of any other lessee, nor prevent Landlord from thereafter enforcing any
         such Rules and Regulations against any or all of the other lessees of
         the Building.

                                       4
<PAGE>   47

20       These Rules and Regulations are supplemental to, and shall not be
         construed to in any way modify or amend, in whole or in part, the
         terms, covenants, agreements and conditions of any lease of any
         premises in the Building.

21.      Landlord reserves the right to make such other and reasonable Rules and
         Regulations as in its judgment may from time to time be needed for the
         safety, care and cleanliness of the Building, the Land and Wildwood
         Office Park, and for the preservation of good order therein, so long as
         such modifications do not materially, adversely impact upon Tenant's
         use of or access to the Demised Premises.

                  removal, as needed, from the Demised Premises and the Building

                  rubbish, or surplus materials from the Demised Premises to
                  avoid littering, marring, or damaging any portion of the
                  Building. If any such trash, rubbish, or surplus materials are
                  not promptly removed from the Building in accordance with the
                  provisions hereof or if any portion of the Building is

                  necessary, appropriate or desirable with respect to completing
                  Tenant's Work without being deemed thereby to have taken

7.       At the request of Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and
         expense, provide evidence in form and content approved by Landlord,
         which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (and if

                  (c)      That all construction prior to the date thereof has
                           been done substantially in accordance with Tenant's
                           space plans, consented to by Landlord.

8.       A.       Landlord will provide the Construction Allowance to Tenant
                  within thirty (30) days after Tenant provides Landlord
                  reasonable evidence of the expenditure of such funds in
                  connection with the improvement to (or equipment, furniture or
                  fixtures within) the Demised Premises, and the material
                  required under Article 7 of this Exhibit "D" has been
                  furnished to Landlord in connection therewith. Tenant may draw
                  down the Construction Allowance (except as provided below) in
                  up to three (3) draws, at any time from and after December 1,
                  2002, but before August 31, 2003. Tenant may use the
                  Construction Allowance on any improvements to or equipment,
                  furniture or fixtures within the Demised Premises, including,
                  but not limited to, work previously performed by or for Tenant
                  in improving the Demised Premises. Tenant agrees that costs
                  not covered by the Construction Allowance shall be paid
                  directly by Tenant.

         B.       Landlord shall be paid a return on the Construction Allowance,
                  or so much as is advanced from time to time, of twelve and
                  one-half percent (12.5%) per annum, from the date any such
                  amount is advanced until the expiration or early termination
                  of the Lease Term. Such return amount only shall be paid by
                  Tenant as Additional Rent, at the times and in the manner Base
                  Rent is paid under the Lease. Landlord shall, from time to
                  time, as Landlord elects, provide to Tenant an invoice for the
                  amount of such Additional Rent due.

         C.       Landlord shall not have the right to receive a fee for any
                  construction management or oversight with respect to the
                  initial build-out of the Demised

                                       4
<PAGE>   62

                  Premises, except for the 1st Floor North Space, for which
                  Landlord or Landlord's designee shall receive a construction
                  management fee of ten cents (10(cent)) per square foot of
                  Rentable Floor Area therein. Landlord or Landlord's designee
                  shall also receive such a fee of ten cents (10 cents) per
                  square foot of Rentable Floor Area, for any Expansion Space
                  leased by Tenant.

9.       Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions or improvements in or
         to the Demised Premises, except as set forth herein, without Landlord's
         prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
         or delayed. The Demised Premises are delivered to Tenant "as is"
         without any warranty or representation whatsoever. Any alterations,
         additions or improvements requested by Tenant and approved by Landlord
         shall be performed (i) by Landlord's contractor or another contractor
         approved by Landlord, (ii) in a good and workmanlike manner, and (iii)
         in accordance with all applicable codes, laws, ordinances, rules and
         regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the
         Demised Premises.

10.      Any approval by Landlord of or consent by Landlord to any plans,
         specifications or other items to be submitted to and/or reviewed by
         Landlord pursuant to this Lease shall be deemed to be strictly limited
         to an acknowledgment of approval or consent by Landlord thereto and,
         whether or not the work is performed by Landlord or by Tenant's
         contractor, such approval or consent shall not constitute the
         assumption by Landlord of any responsibility for the accuracy,
         sufficiency or feasibility of any plans, specifications or other such
         items and shall not imply any acknowledgment, representation or
         warranty by Landlord that the design is safe, feasible, structurally
         sound or will comply with any legal or governmental requirements, and
         Tenant shall be responsible for all of the same.

11.      Tenant acknowledges that the Demised Premises is delivered to Tenant
         "as is". From the date this Lease is effective as to the Demised
         Premises, or portions thereof, Tenant assumes no responsibility or
         liability for any other tenants service that might exist within the
         Demised Premises. Subject to the requirements of this Lease, Tenant
         shall have the right to remove or relocate interior tenant walls within
         the Demised Premises without obligation to repair or restore other
         building tenants' service housed in those interior walls. Tenant shall
         work in good faith with Landlord and other building tenants if such
         situation is identified to allow the tenant utilizing that service to
         provide an alternate routing for the service through appropriate common
         Building chaseways.

                                   EXHIBIT "E"

                           BUILDING STANDARD SERVICES

         Landlord shall furnish the following services to Tenant during the
Lease Term (the "Building Standard Services"):

         (a)      Common - use restrooms (with cold and tempered domestic water)
and toilets at locations provided for general use and as reasonably deemed by
Landlord to be in keeping with the first-class standards of the Building.

         (b)      Subject to curtailment as required by governmental laws, rules
or mandatory regulations and subject to the design conditions set forth in
paragraph 3(a) of Exhibit "D" attached hereto, central heat and air conditioning
in season, at such temperatures and in such amounts as are reasonably deemed by
Landlord to be in keeping with the first-class standards of the Building. Such
heating and air conditioning shall be furnished between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.
on weekdays (from Monday through Friday, inclusive) and between 8:00 a.m. and
1:00 p.m. on Saturdays, all exclusive of Holidays, as defined below (the
"Building Operating Hours"). Such heating and air conditioning service shall be
furnished after such Building Operating Hours at an initial cost of Forty and
No/100 Dollars ($40.00) per floor per hour, for the first floor of the Demised
Premises for which service is so requested, and $20.00 per floor, per hour, for
each additional floor of the Demised Premises for which such service is so
requested, as such amount may be increased from time to time by Landlord based
upon increases in the costs of electricity and otherwise providing such service,
and not at a profit to Landlord. Such services shall be available to Tenant
provided that it gives Landlord reasonable prior oral notification of its need
for such services.

         (c)      Electric lighting service for all public areas and special
service areas of the Building in the manner and to the extent reasonably deemed
by Landlord to be in keeping with the first-class standards of the Building.

         (d)      Janitor service shall be provided five (5) days per week,
exclusive of Holidays (as hereinbelow defined), in a manner set forth on Exhibit
"I", attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein.

         (e)      Security services for the Building comparable as to coverage,
control and responsiveness (but not necessarily as to means for accomplishing
same) to other similarly sized first-class, multi-tenant office buildings in
suburban Atlanta, Georgia; provided, however, Landlord shall have no
responsibility to prevent, and shall not be liable to Tenant for, any liability
or loss to Tenant, its agents, employees and visitors arising out of losses due
to theft, burglary, or damage or injury to persons or property caused by persons
gaining access to the

<PAGE>   64
Building and/or the Demised Premises, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord from
all liability for such losses, damages or injury, except as set forth in Article
37 of the Lease.

         (f)      Sufficient electrical capacity at the building core electrical
panels to operate incandescent lights, typewriters, computers, calculating
machines, photocopying machines and other machines of the same low voltage
electrical consumption (120/208 volts), and lighting (277/480 volts), provided
that the total rated electrical design load for all such items and matters shall
not exceed 5.0 watts per square foot of rentable area (the "Building Standard
Rated Electrical Design Load").

         Should Tenant's total rated electrical design load exceed the Building
Standard Rated Electrical Design Load for either low or high voltage electrical
consumption, or if Tenant's electrical design requires low voltage or high
voltage circuits in excess of Tenant's share of the Building Standard circuits,
Tenant will (at Tenant's expense) install such additional circuits and
associated high voltage panels and/or additional low voltage panels with
associated transformers (which additional circuits, panels and transformers
shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Additional Electrical Equipment"). If
the Additional Electrical Equipment is installed because Tenant's low or high
voltage rated electrical design load exceeds the applicable Building Standard
Rated Electrical Design Load, then a meter shall also be added (at Tenant's
expense) to measure the electricity used through the Additional Electrical
Equipment.

         The design and installation of any Additional Electrical Equipment (or
any related meter) required by Tenant shall be subject to the prior approval of
Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). All expenses
incurred by Landlord in connection with the review and approval of any
Additional Electrical Equipment shall also be reimbursed to Landlord by Tenant.
Tenant shall also pay on demand the actual metered cost of electricity consumed
through the Additional Electrical Equipment (if applicable), plus any actual
accounting expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the metering
thereof.

         Tenant agrees that if Tenant uses data processing or other electronic
equipment which incorporates the use of switched mode power supplies or any
other type device causing harmonic distortion on Landlord's power distribution
system, Tenant shall install filters at Tenant's cost to eliminate the harmonic
distortion. In addition, any damage to Landlord's equipment resulting from
harmonic distortion caused by Tenant's electronic equipment shall be repaired at
Tenant's expense. Total harmonic distortion shall not exceed thirteen percent
(13%).

         If any of Tenant's electrical equipment requires conditioned air in
excess of Building Standard air conditioning, the same shall be installed by
Tenant. Tenant shall pay all design, installation, metering and operating costs
relating thereto.

         If Tenant requires that certain areas within the Demised Premises must
operate in excess of the normal Building Operating Hours, the electrical service
to such areas shall be separately circuited and metered (at Tenant's expense)
such that Tenant shall be billed the costs associated with electricity consumed
during hours other than Building Operating Hours. Tenant shall receive a credit
of $1600.00 per annum, in December of every calendar year starting in

                                       2
<PAGE>   65
December of 2003, against amounts due as shown on the submeter for Tenant's
computer room, which shall be separately metered.

         (g)      All Building Standard fluorescent bulb replacement in all
areas and all incandescent bulb replacement in public areas, toilet and restroom
areas, and stairwells.

         (h)      Non-exclusive multiple cab passenger service to the floor(s)
of the Demised Premises during Building Operating Hours (as hereinabove defined)
and at least one (1) cab passenger service to the floor(s) on which the Demised
Premises are located twenty-four (24) hours per day and non-exclusive freight
elevator service during Building Operating Hours (all subject to temporary
cessation for ordinary repair and maintenance and during times when life safety
systems override normal building operating systems) with such freight elevator
service available at other times upon reasonable prior notice and the payment by
Tenant to Landlord of any additional expense actually incurred by Landlord in
connection therewith.

         To the extent the services described above require electricity and
water supplied by public utilities, Landlord's covenants thereunder shall only
impose on Landlord the obligation to use its reasonable efforts to cause the
applicable public utilities to furnish same. Except for deliberate and willful
acts of Landlord, failure by Landlord to furnish the services described herein,
or any cessation thereof, shall not render Landlord liable for damages to either
person or property, nor be construed as an eviction of Tenant, nor work an
abatement of rent, nor relieve Tenant from fulfillment of any covenant or
agreement hereof. In addition to the foregoing, should any of the equipment or
machinery, for any cause, fail to operate, or function properly, Tenant shall
have no claim for rebate of rent or damages on account of an interruption in
service occasioned thereby or resulting therefrom; provided, however, Landlord
agrees to use reasonable efforts to promptly repair said equipment or machinery
and to restore said services during normal business hours.

         The following dates shall constitute "Holidays" as that term is used in
this Lease: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving Day, Christmas, and any other holiday generally recognized as such
by landlords of office space in the metropolitan Atlanta office market, as
determined by Landlord in good faith. If in the case of any specific holiday
mentioned in the preceding sentence, a different day shall be observed than the
respective day mentioned, then that day which constitutes the day observed by
national banks in Atlanta, Georgia on account of said holiday shall constitute
the Holiday under this Lease.

                              SPECIAL STIPULATIONS

In a conflict between the terms and conditions of these Special Stipulations and
the terms and conditions of the remainder of the Lease, the terms and conditions
of these Special Stipulations will control.

1.       Renewal Option.

         (a)      Provided this Lease is then in full force and effect and
                  Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any
                  applicable grace or cure periods expressly provided for in
                  this Lease, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant one (1) option to
                  renew this Lease, for a period of five (5) years (a "Renewal
                  Term"), at a rental rate equal to the effective rental rate
                  then being offered by landlords to tenants desiring to lease
                  comparable space of comparable height and view that is the
                  size of or comparable to the Premises, in the other comparable
                  first-class buildings with comparable amenities and facilities
                  in the area of the Building, taking into account any
                  abatements, costs, allowances, commissions or other
                  concessions then being offered to such comparable tenants,
                  seeking comparable space, and any rights, privileges and
                  allowances Tenant has with respect to such Renewal Term under,
                  pursuant to or in connection with this Lease (the "Market
                  Rate"), and upon the same terms and conditions as contained in
                  this Lease.

         (b)      Tenant shall provide notice to Landlord no more than fifteen
                  (15) months and no less than twelve (12) months prior to the
                  expiration of the Term or Renewal Term (as applicable), if
                  Tenant desires to exercise a Renewal Term. Landlord shall have
                  sixty (60) days from the date Tenant provides such notice, to
                  provide a proposed Market Rate to Tenant. If Tenant fails to
                  provide such notice, then the Lease shall terminate as of the
                  end of the Term as established herein or the Renewal Term, as
                  the case may be. Tenant shall have thirty (30) days after such
                  response from Landlord to accept such offer, reject such
                  offer, or exercise the rights set forth under Special
                  Stipulation 1(c) below. If Tenant accepts such offer, then the
                  Term or the Renewal Term, as the case may be, shall be
                  extended, the rent for such period shall be the Market Rate as
                  offered by Landlord and accepted by Tenant pursuant to the
                  terms and conditions of this Paragraph, and the Lease for the
                  Renewal Term in question shall be otherwise on the same terms
                  and conditions as contained in the Lease. If Tenant rejects
                  such offer, then the Lease shall terminate as of the end of
                  the Term as established herein or the Renewal Term, as the
                  case may be.

         (c)      If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Market
                  Rate within the thirty (30) day period described above, and
                  Tenant responds to Landlord within the

<PAGE>   68

================================================================================
                  aforesaid thirty (30) day response period that Tenant desires
                  to arbitrate the Market Rate, then the dispute shall proceed
                  to arbitration. The arbitration procedure shall thereafter
                  commence when either party submits the matter to arbitration.

                  (1)      Not later than ten (10) days after the arbitration
                           procedure has commenced, each party shall appoint an
                           arbitrator and notify the other party of such
                           appointment, identifying the appointee. Each party
                           hereto agrees to select as its respective appointee a
                           licensed real estate broker, who is an individual of
                           substantial experience with respect to office
                           building ownership, management and marketing in the
                           Cobb County office market of Atlanta, Georgia, which
                           person shall not be regularly employed of have been
                           retained during the last two (2) years as a
                           consultant by the party selecting such person.
                           Neither party may consult directly or indirectly with
                           any arbitrator regarding the Market Rate prior to
                           appointment, or after appointment, outside the
                           presence of the other party. The arbitration shall be
                           conducted in Atlanta, Georgia, under the provisions
                           of the commercial arbitration rules of the American
                           Arbitration Association and the applicable Laws of
                           the State of Georgia governing the arbitrator.

                  (2)      Not later than ten (10) days after both arbitrators
                           are appointed, each party shall separately, but
                           simultaneously, submit in a sealed envelope to each
                           arbitrator their separate suggested Market Rate and
                           shall provide a copy of such submission to the other
                           party. After reviewing such submissions, the two (2)
                           selected arbitrators shall determine whether
                           Landlord's or Tenant's estimate of the Market Rate is
                           closer to the actual Market Rate for the Premises. If
                           both arbitrators agree that one of said declared
                           estimates is closer to the actual Market Rate, they
                           shall declare that estimate to be the Market Rate,
                           and their decision shall be final and binding upon
                           the parties.

                  (3)      If the two selected arbitrators are unable to agree
                           on the Market Rate within thirty (30) days after
                           receipt of Landlord's and Tenant's submitted
                           estimates, then the arbitrators shall inform the
                           parties. Unless the parties shall both otherwise then
                           direct, said arbitrators shall select a third
                           arbitrator, not later than ten (10) days after the
                           expiration of said thirty (30) day period. If no
                           arbitrator is selected within such ten (10) day
                           period, either party may immediately petition a court
                           with appropriate jurisdiction to appoint such third
                           arbitrator. The third arbitrator shall have the
                           qualifications and restrictions set forth above, and
                           shall conduct an arbitration pursuant to the
                           commercial arbitration rules of the American
                           Arbitration Association. The third arbitrator's
                           decision shall be final and binding as to which
                           estimate (as between Landlord's and Tenant's) of the
                           Market Rate is closer to the actual Market Rate, and
                           shall select such rate

                                       2
<PAGE>   69

                  as the Market Rate. Such third arbitrator shall make a
                  decision not later than thirty (30) days after appointment.

                  (4)      Each party shall be responsible for the costs,
                           charges and/or fees of its respective appointee, and
                           the parties shall share equally in the costs, charges
                           and/or fees of the third arbitrator.

2.       Right of First Refusal. Provided this Lease is then in full force and
         effect and no event of default on the part of Tenant has occurred and
         remains uncured, and there is no sublease (or subleases, in the
         aggregate) of in excess of 30,000 square feet of Rentable Floor Area of
         the Demised Premises (excluding any sublessees under Article 11(c) of
         the Lease), or assignment of any of Tenant's interest in the Lease,
         (excluding any assignee under Article 11(c) of the Lease) Tenant shall
         have a right of first offer on any "available" square feet of Rentable
         Floor Area in the Building (the "Expansion Space"), on the following
         terms and conditions:

         (a)      Landlord shall give notice to Tenant of Landlord's desire to
                  lease the Expansion Space.

         (b)      Tenant shall have ten (10) business days after Landlord's
                  notice to respond as to whether or not Tenant desires to lease
                  the Expansion Space in question, or if there is in excess of
                  twelve (12) months until the Expansion Space in question will
                  first become available for work to commence therein, then
                  Tenant shall have until there is ten (10) months until the
                  Expansion Space in question will be available to respond as to
                  whether or not Tenant desires to lease the Expansion Space in
                  question. Landlord may not notify Tenant that Expansion Space
                  is or shall become available in excess of fifteen (15) months
                  in advance of the date such Expansion Space shall become
                  available. Tenant must lease all of the Expansion Space then
                  offered by Landlord, unless there is in excess of a full floor
                  of Expansion Space offered at such time, in which event Tenant
                  may lease all of the Expansion Space then offered, or any
                  portion thereof as long as such portion is (i) all of the
                  Expansion Space on a given floor; or (ii) a full floor.

         (c)      The term of lease for the Expansion Space in question must
                  commence on or before March 31, 2005, and if such cannot
                  occur, then Landlord shall have no obligation to offer such
                  Expansion Space to Tenant under the terms hereunder. If Tenant
                  elects not to lease the Expansion Space or fails to respond
                  within the ten (10) business day period, Landlord shall be
                  free to lease the Expansion Space to any third party. Tenant
                  may respond within such period with an irrevocable binding
                  offer (except as provided herein) to lease the Expansion Space
                  at some terms other than as set forth herein (the "Floor
                  Offer"), which offer shall be binding and constitute an
                  ongoing offer by Tenant until the earlier to occur of (i)
                  twelve (12) months after the Floor Offer is first made, or
                  (ii) whenever Tenant withdraws such offer by a notice to
                  Landlord (which Tenant may do at any time).

                                       3
<PAGE>   70
                  If Tenant fails to respond within said period or merely
                  declines to lease the Expansion Space in question, or
                  withdraws the Floor Offer by a notice to Landlord, then the
                  Floor Offer shall be zero (0). Landlord shall have ten (10)
                  business days after Tenant's notice of a Floor Offer to either
                  reject the Floor Offer, or lease the Expansion Space in
                  question to Tenant on the terms of the Floor Offer. If
                  Landlord rejects the Floor Offer, Landlord shall be free to
                  lease the Expansion Space to any other tenant for any amount
                  equal to or in excess of the Floor Offer. In considering other
                  offers in comparison to the Floor Offer, Landlord shall do a
                  present value analysis, taking into account the net rental
                  rate, commissions due and tenant improvement allowance offered
                  to any such third-party tenant. Exhibit "H" provides an
                  example of how such calculation shall be made. If Landlord
                  does enter into a lease with a third party then Landlord
                  shall, after Tenant's request for such, provide Tenant with a
                  certification that the third party lease terms exceed the
                  Floor Offer. If the lease of such third party expires (without
                  any extensions thereof being exercised) or is terminated prior
                  to the expiration of the Term hereunder, Tenant's right of
                  first offer, as granted hereunder, shall again apply to the
                  Expansion Space.

         (d)      If Tenant elects to lease the Expansion Space, the base rent
                  for the Expansion Space shall be at the same Rent (on a per
                  square foot per annum basis) then being paid by Tenant for the
                  Demised Premises, which rate shall increase as provided in the
                  Lease.

         (e)      The Rent for the Expansion Space shall commence on the earlier
                  to occur of (i) sixty (60) days after Landlord has delivered
                  the Expansion Space to Tenant, so that work can commence
                  therein, or (ii) the date Tenant first occupies the Expansion
                  Space.

         (f)      If Tenant elects to lease the Expansion Space, and the Lease
                  Term thereof would commence prior to January 1, 2003, then
                  Landlord shall provide an allowance for the tenant fit-up and
                  finish work in the Expansion Space equal to $12.00 per square
                  foot. If Tenant elects to lease the Expansion Space, and the
                  Lease Term thereof would commence after January 1, 2003, then
                  Landlord shall provide an allowance for the tenant fit-up and
                  finish work in the Expansion Space equal to $7.52 per square
                  foot of the Rentable Floor Area within the Expansion Space
                  multiplied (and reduced) by a fraction, the numerator of which
                  shall be the number of months left in the Term after Tenant
                  commences paying rent for the Expansion Space, and the
                  denominator of which shall be 63 (the "Expansion Space
                  Allowance"), which is twelve cents (12(cent)) per square foot
                  of Rentable Floor Area, per month left on the Lease Term.
                  Landlord shall receive, and Tenant shall pay, as Additional
                  Rent, for a twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) return on any
                  amounts advanced hereunder. Allowances for Expansion Space
                  must be drawn (in accordance with this Lease), if at all,
                  within ninety (90) days after the Lease Term for the Expansion
                  Space in question commences.

         (g)      Except as expressly set forth to the contrary herein, all
                  other terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply to the
                  Expansion Space, and from and after the date Tenant elects to
                  lease the Expansion Space, the Expansion Space shall be and
                  shall be deemed to be a part of the Demised Premises.

         (h)      For the purposes of this paragraph, space in the Building
                  shall be "available" when no other third-party is in occupancy
                  thereof or has any rights therein, including, but not limited
                  to, rights of expansion, extension, renewal or option.

3.       Tenant's Right to Install Satellite Antenna

         (a)      Subject to the terms and conditions as described below, Tenant
                  shall have the right to place and maintain on the roof of the
                  Building one (1) satellite antenna module not to exceed 3' by
                  3' (the "Antenna") and related hardware and cabling, connected
                  to the Premises, to service and serve the Premises and
                  communications to and from the Premises. Tenant must obtain
                  and pay for all permits and license fees which may be required
                  to be paid for the erection and maintenance of any and all
                  such Antenna. The right of Tenant to install such Antenna is
                  expressly conditioned upon Tenant's Antenna not interfering
                  with any antennae presently existing on or within the Project,
                  and Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that this Antenna will
                  not so interfere.

         (b)      Tenant shall furnish detailed plans and specifications for
                  such Antenna systems to Landlord for Landlord's consent, which
                  consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
                  delayed, provided Landlord may condition its consent by
                  requiring that such systems be installed in the least
                  conspicuous of all acceptable locations on which the systems
                  might be located and that all components and elements thereof
                  (except the terminal devices and structures) be concealed from
                  view from within and without the Building. Upon the giving of
                  such consent, such systems shall be installed, at Tenant's
                  expense, by a contractor selected by Tenant and approved by
                  Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld,
                  conditioned or delayed. In the installation of such systems,
                  Tenant shall comply with all applicable laws, and keep the
                  Premises, Building and Property free and clear from liens
                  arising from or related to Tenant's installation, and shall
                  provide all insurance with respect to or in connection with
                  the Antenna as Landlord in Landlord's reasonable judgment,
                  deems appropriate or necessary. Tenant shall be entitled to
                  use such portions of the Building as may be reasonably
                  necessary for the installation, operation and maintenance of
                  the Antenna, and Tenant shall have reasonable access to such
                  portions of the Building at all times throughout the term of
                  this Lease for such purposes; provided however, that except
                  for the roof, any cables, conduits or other physical
                  connections between such Antenna and the Premises shall be
                  concealed underground or within permanent walls, floors,
                  columns and ceilings of the Building and in the shafts of the
                  Building provided

                                       5
<PAGE>   72
                  for such installations, not damaging the appearance of the
                  Building or reducing the usable or rentable space of the
                  Building; and provided further, that except for the roof and
                  Premises, any installation or maintenance work performed by
                  Tenant or at Tenant's direction shall be performed without
                  unreasonably interfering with Landlord's or any other tenant's
                  use of the Building, and upon completion of such installation
                  and maintenance (initially and from time to time) Tenant shall
                  restore such portions of the Building to a condition
                  reasonably comparable to that existing prior to such
                  installation or maintenance. Tenant shall be responsible for
                  procuring whatever licenses or permits may be required for the
                  use of such systems or operation of any equipment served
                  thereby, and Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant, at Tenant's
                  expense, in procuring such licenses or permits, to the extent
                  required by applicable laws. Landlord makes no warranties
                  whatsoever as to the permissibility of such systems under
                  applicable laws. Tenant's Antenna shall not constitute a
                  nuisance, or unreasonably interfere with the operations of
                  other tenant of the Building or with the normal use of the
                  area surrounding the Building by occupants thereof. Upon
                  termination or expiration of this Lease, Tenant shall remove
                  the Antenna installed by it pursuant to this Paragraph, at its
                  expense, and shall repair and restore the Building to a
                  condition comparable to that existing prior to such
                  installation, normal wear and tear excepted.

         (c)      Landlord reserves the right to relocate said Antenna at any
                  time, at Landlord's sole expense, provided such relocation
                  shall have no adverse impact on the operations of such Antenna
                  as a service to the Premises. Tenant hereby covenants and
                  agrees that such Antenna is designed and shall be installed in
                  a manner so that it is relocatable without extraordinary or
                  unreasonable trouble, effort or expense.

4.       Common Facility Use. So long as Landlord continues to permit tenants of
         the Project to utilize the common meeting facility located in the
         Building (the "Conference Room") (which Landlord has no obligation to
         do), then Tenant may utilize the facility for its reasonable business
         use, in accordance with the standard reservations and use procedures
         imposed by Landlord with respect to said facility from time to time,
         and at no additional charge to Tenant, through December 31, 2002.
         Thereafter, Landlord may charge Tenant for the use of the Conference
         Room for any month in which Tenant uses the Conference Room more than
         one (1) time, at the following rates: up to three (3) hours - $35.00, a
         half day - $50.00, a full day - $100. Tenant shall be entitled to use
         the Conference Room during such time one (1) time per month, at no
         additional charge to Tenant. These shall be the only direct charges due
         from Tenant for said Conference Room use. Landlord may also, at any
         time, reconfigure or reduce the size of the Conference Room.

5.       Signage. So long as Tenant occupies at least 75,000 square feet of
         Rentable Floor Area in the Building, Tenant (but not any sublessee of
         Tenant, other than a sublessee under Article 11(c) of the Lease) shall
         have, no later than January 1, 2003, the non-exclusive right to
         maintain Tenant's sign on the top location of the existing Building
         monument sign, such

                                       6
<PAGE>   73

         sign of Tenant's (or a sign of Tenant's on a new monument sign) to be
         of a color, design, size, content and logotype, acceptable to Landlord
         and Tenant, in their respective reasonable judgment. No more than three
         (3) tenant names shall be on the existing Building monument sign.
         Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord's sole option and at
         Landlord's expense, to construct another monument sign for the
         Building, and Tenant may, in such event, elect to relocate Tenant's
         sign, at Tenant's expense, on that new monument sign, on the top
         location on the sign, subject to the above terms and conditions, in
         lieu of having a Tenant sign on the other, existing monument sign.
         There shall be no restriction or limitation on the number of names
         which may be included on any new monument sign. The cost of any
         Tenant's sign, the maintenance thereof, the removal thereof at the end
         of the Lease Term or relocation therefrom, and the restoration of the
         monument sign from which Tenant's sign is removed or relocated, shall
         be paid for by Tenant, within thirty (30) days after Landlord's request
         therefor.

6.       Acceptable Current Use. The use of the Demised Premises and the use of
         the Project as conducted by Tenant as of the date of this Lease are
         acceptable to Landlord.

7.       Reserved Parking Spaces. Tenant has the right to use nineteen (19)
         reserved parking spaces in the parking lot, at no additional charge to
         Tenant, ten (10) of which parking spaces are available under the
         Original Lease, seven (7) of which parking spaces are available to
         Tenant in connection with Tenant's sublease of certain other space in
         the Building, and two (2) of which parking spaces shall be available
         only from and after the Rental Commencement Date for the 1st Floor
         North Space. Tenant shall have the continued right to use such reserved
         parking spaces under this Lease, without additional charge due from
         Tenant during the initial Lease Term hereof, but only as and when the
         portion of the Demised Premises associated with such parking spaces is
         from time to time leased under this Lease. Such reserved parking spaces
         shall be in a location determined by Landlord and such location for the
         reserved parking spaces may be moved from time to time by Landlord, in
         Landlord's reasonable judgment, to another location determined by
         Landlord.

a __________________________________ corporation (hereinafter called the
"Tenant") and ________________________________________________________________
(hereinafter called the "Landlord").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS, (on ___________, 19___/on or about the date hereof), Landlord
has entered into and delivered that certain Deed to Secure Debt in favor of
Lender (to be recorded/ which was recorded) in the office of the Clerk of the
Court of ____________________ County, Georgia (said Deed to Secure Debt being
hereinafter called the "Security Deed"), conveying the property described
therein, which is located at ________________________________, ____________
County, Georgia and commonly known as ______________________________, to secure
the payment of the indebtedness described in the Security Deed;

          WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant made and entered into that certain Lease,
dated the _____ day of _______________, 19___, with respect to certain premises
therein described, known as Suite No. _____ (said Lease being hereinafter called
the "Lease"; said premises being hereinafter called the "Leased Premises"); and

         WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to enter into this Non-Disturbance,
Attornment and Subordination Agreement;

         NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants
hereinafter set forth, Lender, Tenant and Landlord hereby covenant and agree as
follows:

         1.       Non-Disturbance. So long as no default exists, nor any event
has occurred which has continued to exist for such period of time (after notice,
if any, required by the Lease) as would entitle the lessor under the Lease to
terminate the Lease or would cause, without any further action on the part of
Landlord, the termination of the Lease or would entitle such lessor to
dispossess the lessee thereunder, the Lease shall not be terminated, nor shall
such lessee's use, possession or enjoyment of the Leased Premises be interfered
with nor shall the leasehold estate granted by the Lease be affected in any
other manner, in any exercise of the power of sale contained in the Security
Deed, or by any foreclosure or any action or proceeding instituted under or in
connection with the Security Deed or in case the Lender takes possession of the
property described in the Security Deed pursuant to any provisions thereof,
unless the lessor

<PAGE>   82
under the Lease would have had such right if the Security Deed had not been
made, except that the person or entity acquiring the interest of the lessor
under the Lease as a result of any such action or proceeding, and the successors
and assigns thereof (hereinafter called the "Purchaser") shall not be (a) liable
for any act or omission of any prior lessor under the Lease; or (b) subject to
any offsets or defenses which the lessee under the lease might have against any
prior lessor under the Lease; or (c) bound by any base rent, percentage rent or
any other payments which the lessee under the Lease might have paid for more
than the current month to any prior lessor under the Lease; or (d) bound by any
amendment or modification of the Lease made without Lender's prior written
consent; or (e) bound by any consent by any lessor under the Lease to any
assignment of the lessee's interest in the Lease made without also obtaining
Lender's prior written consent.

         2.       Attornment. If the interests of the lessor under the Lease
shall be transferred by reason of the exercise of the power of sale contained in
the Security Deed, or by any foreclosure or other proceeding for enforcement of
the Security Deed, the lessee thereunder shall be bound to the purchaser under
all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the lease for the balance of the
term thereof and any extensions or renewals thereof which may be effected in
accordance with any option therefor in the Lease, with the same force and effect
as if the Purchaser were the lessor under the Lease, and Tenant, as lessee under
the Lease, does hereby attorn to the Purchaser, including the Lender if it be
the Purchaser, as its lessor under the Lease. Said attornment shall be effective
and self-operative without the execution of any further instruments upon the
succession by Purchaser to the interest of the lessor under the Lease. The
respective rights and obligations of Purchaser and of the lessee under the Lease
upon such attornment, to the extent of the then remaining balance of the term of
the Lease and any such extensions and renewals, shall be and are the same as now
set forth in the Lease except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

         3.       Subordination. Tenant hereby subordinates all of its right,
title and interest as lessee under the Lease to the right, title and interest of
the Lender under the Security Deed and Tenant further agrees that the Lease now
is and shall at all times continue to be subject and subordinate in each and
every respect to the Security Deed and to any and all increases, renewals,
modifications, extension, substitutions, replacements and/or consolidations of
the Security Deed.

         4.       Notice of Default by Lessor. Tenant, as lessee under the
Lease, hereby covenants and agrees to give Lender written notice properly
specifying wherein the lessor under the Lease has failed to perform any of the
covenants or obligations of the lessor under the Lease, simultaneously with the
giving of any notice of such default to the lessor under the provisions of the
Lease. Tenant agrees that Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation,
within thirty (30) days after receipt by Lender of such notice (or within such
additional time as is reasonably required to correct any such default) to
correct or remedy, or cause to be corrected or remedied, each such default
before the lessee under the Lease may take any action under the Lease by reason
of such default. Such notices to Lender shall be delivered in duplicate to:

or to such other address as the Lender shall have designated to Tenant by giving
written notice to Tenant at __________________________________,
______________________________ or to such other address as may be designated by
written notice from Tenant to Lender.

         5.       No Further Subordination. Landlord and Tenant covenant and
agree with Lender that there shall be no further subordination of the interest
of lessee under the Lease to any Lender or to any other party without first
obtaining the prior written consent of Lender. Any attempt to effect a further
subordination of lessee's interest under the Lease without first obtaining the
prior written consent of Lender shall be null and void.

         6.       As to Landlord and Tenant. As between Landlord and Tenant,
Landlord and Tenant covenant and agree that nothing herein contained nor
anything done pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be deemed or construed to
modify the Lease.

         7.       As to Landlord and Lender. As between Landlord and Lender,
Landlord and Lender covenant and agree that nothing herein contained nor
anything done pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be deemed or construed to
modify the Security Deed.

         8.       Title of Paragraph. The titles of the paragraphs of this
agreement are for convenience and reference only, and the words contained
therein shall in no way be held to explain, modify, amplify or aid in the
interpretation, construction or meaning of the provisions of this agreement.

         9.       Governing Law. This agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia.

         10.      Provisions Binding. The terms and provisions hereof shall be
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and permitted assigns, respectively, of Lender,
Tenant and Landlord. The reference contained to successors and assigns of Tenant
is not intended to constitute and does not constitute a consent by Landlord or
Lender to an assignment by Tenant, but has reference only to those instances in
which the lessor under the Lease and Lender shall have given written consent to
a particular assignment by Tenant thereunder.

Re:      Line of Credit (Account #120435-524769); Term Loan (Account
         #120435-087445 and #120435-087452); Loan Agreement dated January 7,
         1993, as amended April 5, 1994, February 17, 1995, March 15, 1995,
         March 28, 1996, August 28, 1997, January 1, 2000, December 29, 2000,
         January 31, 2001 and March 15, 2001 (collectively "Loan Agreement") by
         and among Martin Industries, Inc. ("Martin Industries") and AmSouth
         Bank ("the Bank"). In this letter capitalized terms shall be given the
         meanings indicated in the Loan Agreement and/or in this letter.

Dear Mr. Truitt:

I am writing this letter to you concerning the indebtednesses ("Indebtednesses")
referenced above of Martin Industries to the Bank and our recent discussions
concerning the Bank extending and amending the Loan Agreement. In accordance
with our recent discussions, the Bank proposes a financing arrangement as
outlined in the Financing Proposal attached as Exhibit A to this letter. The
attached Financing Proposal does not summarize all of the terms, conditions,
covenants and other provisions which will be contained in the definitive
documentation for the amended Loan Agreement and is not to be construed as a
commitment or an agreement on the part of the Bank to provide financing on the
terms therein.

We have discussed with you the further extension of the Loan Agreement to enable
the parties adequate time to complete the required definitive documentation for
the proposed amended Loan Agreement. In this regard, the Bank hereby (i) amends
the definition of "Line of Credit Termination Date" in Section 1.02 of the Loan
Agreement, as heretofore amended, to substitute "June 15, 2001" in lieu of "May
15, 2001," (ii) extends the date on which payment of the semi-annual installment
of principal in the amount of $596,700 is due under the Term Note, as previously
extended, from May 15, 2001, to June 15, 2001, and (iii) increase the interest
rate on the Indebtednesses to Prime plus 1%, effective May 15, 2001.

To evidence the acceptance of these extensions on the terms and conditions
stated herein, please sign and return to me the enclosed copy of this letter. By
so signing the enclosed copy of this letter, Martin Industries acknowledges and
agrees to the following terms and conditions of such extension:

1.       This letter agreement shall not be deemed to be an accord and
         satisfaction of the Indebtednesses or any other obligation owed to the
         Bank.

2.       All collateral that now secures all or any of the Indebtednesses shall
         continue to secure same. Nothing in this letter agreement diminishes
         any security interest or lien that the Bank has in any assets securing
         the Indebtednesses. All of the collateral, rights, security, and
         guarantees that the Bank now has to secure any of the Indebtednesses
         due from Martin Industries shall remain in full force and effect and
         are hereby ratified and confirmed.

3.       The Bank waives until June 15, 2001, any default or Event of Default
         arising out of (i) the Borrower's failure to comply with the provisions
         of the Loan Agreement as set forth on Exhibit B, and (ii) the
         Borrower's failure to pay on May 15, 2001, the semi-annual installment
         of principal due under the Term Loan. Except as provided in the
         preceding sentence, the Bank reserves all of its rights and remedies
         under the Loan Agreement, the Security Documents, any other Loan
         Documents, and/or applicable law, in respect of any Event(s) of

                                        1
<PAGE>   2

         Default. The current non-exercise by the Bank of any rights and
         remedies which it may have shall not constitute a release or waiver of
         any of its rights and/or remedies or a release or waiver of any
         Event(s) of Default under the Loan Agreement, the Security Documents,
         or any other Loan Documents, except for the waiver provided in the
         first sentence of this paragraph. Except as provided in the first
         sentence of this paragraph, the Bank specifically reserves the right to
         invoke any and all rights and remedies at any time in its sole
         discretion.

4.       Martin Industries hereby releases, satisfies, cancels, waives, acquits,
         and forever discharges the Bank, its directors, officers, employees,
         agents, attorneys, successors and assigns, of and from any and all
         claims, demands, actions, or causes of action of any kind or character,
         arising at any time in the past, up to and including the date of this
         letter, which relate or pertain in any way to the Indebtednesses and/or
         collection of them.

5.       The Indebtednesses are owed by Martin Industries to the Bank for the
         amounts (exclusive of outstanding letters of credit, ACH exposures and
         the Bank's attorneys fees) herein stated and there are no defenses,
         setoffs, or counterclaims with respect to any of them:

                               FINANCING PROPOSAL

         AmSouth Bank (the "Bank") proposes the following terms as amendments to
the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents with Martin Industries, Inc.
("Martin Industries" or the "Company"):

1.       Extension:        The definition of "Line of Credit Termination Date"
                           in Section 1.02 of the Loan Agreement, as heretofore
                           amended, will be further amended to read "January 1,
                           2002."

2.       Line of Credit:   The Line of Credit will be increased by $1 million
                           for a total line of up to $11 million. The actual
                           amount available under the Line of Credit will be
                           determined periodically as the sum of: (a) 80% of the
                           eligible accounts receivable of the Company, net of
                           customary reserves, (to be determined) plus (b) 38%
                           of finished goods inventory, plus (c) 30% of raw
                           material inventory (less reserves for warranty and
                           obsolete inventory, subject to adjustment of the
                           final advance rates - additional reserves to be
                           determined).

3.       Term Loans:       The Term Loans will be reamortized from biannually to
                           monthly and defaults arising through the execution of
                           the amendment to the Loan Agreement will be deferred.

4.       Interest Rates and Fees:

                           The rate of interest charged on the first $10 million
                           under the Line of Credit will be increased from the
                           current rate to the Bank's Prime Rate plus 1%. The
                           rate of interest charged on any borrowings under the
                           additional $1 million made available under the Line
                           of Credit will be the Bank's Prime Rate plus 3%.

                           The rate of interest charged on the Term Loan will be
                           increased from the current rate to the Bank's Prime
                           Rate plus 1%; provided, however, that in the event
                           such an increase will adversely affect the tax
                           exemption received by the Bank with respect to the
                           Term Loan, this increase will not be implemented.

                           Fees will include a closing fee of one-half of one
                           percent (0.50%) of the total credit facility
                           (approximately $66,900), an annual loan service fee,
                           to be paid monthly, equal to one-half of one percent
                           (0.50%) of the total credit facility, and a fee equal
                           to one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum, charged
                           per diem and payable monthly, of the average daily
                           unused portion of the Line of Credit.

5.       Additional Terms:

                           (a)      All proceeds of accounts receivable will be
                           required to be paid into a lockbox account of the
