through a third party, provide all of the Services described in this Agreement to prospective
Enrollees and to prospective Enrollees that become Enrollees after the commencement of such CMS
contract year, provided, however, that for purposes of this subparagraph “Enrollees” shall not
include any persons who are enrolled in the PDP as of the commencement of the annual coordinated
election period as defined in 42 CFR § 423.38(b)(2) corresponding to such CMS contract year. In no
event will NationsHealth be required to fund more than one-half of the combined NationsHealth
Service Expenses and CIGNA Service Expenses, NationsHealth’s provision *** must be provided to
CIGNA no later than ten (10) business days prior to the date on which CIGNA must submit its bid
pursuant to 42 CFR §423.265(b), as amended, to become a Medicare Part D sponsor for the then

EXHIBIT 3.01

INTERIM COMPENSATION

General Principles

     The Parties, meaning CIGNA on one hand and USPG and/or NationsHealth on the other hand, intend
to account for the activities described in this Agreement as if such activities constituted a
separate line of business for purposes of *** the financial effects of certain PDP-associated
expense variances.

No Intent to Create Reinsurance

     In agreeing to this arrangement, both parties have independently formed a belief that, in the
event of a loss under any of CIGNA’s Part D contracts covered by this Agreement, this provision
does not give rise to a contract for reinsurance against an underwriting loss by CIGNA. *** The
parties acknowledge that the unprecedented nature of the Medicare Part D product makes it
impossible to predict the profitability of the Part D contracts with any certainty. If CMS, or any
other Governmental Authority, *** constituted a form of reinsurance, the parties agree to
negotiate, in good faith, an alternative *** that approximates the *** of the Parties that will
arise under this arrangement.

Interim Compensation

     This Exhibit 3.01 provides that certain “Scheduled Marketing and Enrollment Expenses” (set
forth in Attachment A) incurred by CIGNA and/or NationsHealth during the period February 20, 2006
through May 15, 2006 (or such later date to which CMS may extend the initial annual enrollment
period for the 2006 plan year) are amortized over the period from the date incurred through
December 2007 ***.

A. Definitions

     Each of the following shall be as finally determined by CIGNA for applicable periods:

***

     “Aggregate Actual Premium” means the total premiums received from Enrollees and from CMS.

     “Aggregate Claims Cost Variance” means the Aggregate Expected Claims Cost less Actual
Aggregate Claims Cost.

     “Aggregate CIGNA *** Recovery” means the product of actual Enrollee months multiplied by the
CIGNA *** Recovery Rate.

CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. ASTERISKS DENOTE SUCH OMISSION.

6

 

     “Aggregate CIGNA Target Margin” means the CIGNA Target Margin multiplied by the actual number
of Enrollee months.

***

*** Recovery Rate” means a PEPM amount, calculated as the sum of *** actually incurred by CIGNA ***
divided by ***, plus, if additional *** are incurred in any month ***, an additional PEPM amount
calculated as the additional *** divided by *** (i.e., the *** Recovery Rate represents the rate
at which *** would be fully recovered over *** at the ***; provided however, the
Parties understand and agree that the time frame within which CIGNA will recoup the *** based on
the *** Recovery Rate will be shorter or longer than *** depending ***. Once CIGNA has recouped
the ***, the *** Recovery Rate will be zero.

***

     “CMS Contract Year Month” means a month within a CMS contract year.

***

     “PEPM” means per Enrollee per month.

***

     “Start-Up Month” means each of the months from September 2005 through February 19, 2006.

***

B. Establishment of Target Margin and ***; Year-End ***.

     1.) Annual Identification of CIGNA Target Margin and NationsHealth ***

     By *** for the 2006 CMS contract year and not less than *** prior to required bid submission
date (which the Parties anticipate will be the ***) for *** for every subsequent CMS contract year
CIGNA shall specify its required CIGNA Target Margin. *** shall be determined by CIGNA.

     2.) Year-End ***

     No later than *** following the end of each CMS contract year, CIGNA shall perform a *** of
*** under this Agreement. As part of such *** CIGNA *** to NationsHealth the ***, if any, due to
NationsHealth for the expiring CMS contract year including the *** of all ***.

     3.) Termination

     A final settlement will be made within *** upon termination or expiration of the Agreement to
capture any late reporting of the components used in the Monthly Settlement Process. No additional
adjustment will be made for ***.

C. NationsHealth *** Process

     1.) Start-Up Months. Not later than *** prior to each Start-Up Month, CIGNA and NationsHealth
will mutually agree to the expected level of *** for the upcoming Start-Up Month. CIGNA will make
*** to NationsHealth in *** equal payments *** of this amount by *** of the corresponding ***

     2.) Contract Year. Not later than *** prior to the start of a CMS contract year CIGNA and
NationsHealth will mutually agree to the ***. Not later than *** following CIGNA’s receipt of the
monthly premium amount from CMS, CIGNA will make *** to NationsHealth of the amount of the ***
multiplied by the *** actually received.

D. Monthly Settlement Process

     1.) Information Deliveries. Not later than *** after the last day of the preceding
month NationsHealth shall furnish to CIGNA, the ***, and the *** for the preceding month. In no
event shall NationsHealth submit the same expense under more than one of the foregoing categories.
Not later than *** after the last day of the preceding month CIGNA shall furnish to NationsHealth
the ***, the CIGNA *** and ***. NationsHealth shall furnish to CIGNA the actual PDP enrollment.
After a review period of not more than *** after the date of CIGNA’s delivery of the information
described above, CIGNA shall calculate *** to NationsHealth in accordance with this Exhibit
3.01.

     2.) Calculation of Monthly Amount due to NationsHealth

          CIGNA shall calculate the amount due to NationsHealth as the sum of the following for the
prior month:

               a.) ***

               b.) plus ***

               c.) plus ***

               d.) plus ***

               e.) minus the *** made by *** for *** and ***;

               f.) minus any *** pursuant to Section ***;

               g.) minus the ***

     3.) Determination of ***. CIGNA shall determine the *** for each month as follows:

          *** shall be determined by subtracting from *** for the prior month all of the following as

EXHIBIT 12.01

SERVICING PROCEDURES

To allow CIGNA to effect a smooth transition in the provision of Services under the Strategic
Agreement the following servicing procedures shall be implemented.

Source Code Escrow: NationsHealth and CIGNA will arrange for a third party escrow agent at CIGNA’s
expense. NationsHealth shall place in escrow the source code of the NationsHealth- developed
software programs the (“Source Code”) used by NationsHealth in connection with the performance of
the Services under the Agreement (the “Software.”) Upon the occurrence of the Triggering Event
(defined below), the escrow agent will release the Source Code to CIGNA upon CIGNA’s written
request, at no additional cost to CIGNA. NationsHealth shall update the escrowed Source Code daily
unless CIGNA specifies less frequent updates.

Back-Up Site Setup and Operation: NationsHealth agrees to replicate the PDP member servicing
capabilities and member servicing database to a back-up site under CIGNA’s ownership or control.
CIGNA shall procure the back-up site, and pay for all direct and indirect expenses and costs
associated with the procurement, management and maintenance of the back-up site. NationsHealth
and/or USPG will provide know-how, expertise, and personnel resources to assist CIGNA, without cost
to CIGNA, in replicating the functionality of the member servicing capabilities and member
servicing database.

Back-Up Site Testing: CIGNA shall have the right to periodically test the PDP member servicing
functions operating at the back-up site to verify the site’s readiness.

Triggering Event: The Triggering Event shall be deemed to have taken place upon the occurrence of
a “For Cause” termination event as described in Section 6.05(i) of the Strategic Agreement, or in
the event that USPG and NationsHealth no longer offer the Services.

Servicing Transition: Upon the occurrence of the Triggering Event, CIGNA may commence production
use of the backup site and perform the Part D member servicing functions without further notice to,
or consultation with, NationsHealth and without electing to terminate this Strategic Agreement.

Grant of License: NationsHealth hereby grants to CIGNA, at no additional cost to CIGNA, a
non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free license to use one complete copy
of the Software, including the Source Code once released from escrow upon the occurrence of the
Triggering Event, used by NationsHealth in connection with the performance of the Services under
the Strategic Agreement to enable CIGNA to perform the Services for its own benefit as described in
this Exhibit 12.01. As between NationsHealth and CIGNA, CIGNA acknowledges that the Software and
Source Code are the sole and exclusive property of NationsHealth and that CIGNA has no rights in
the Software and Source Code except those expressly granted by the Strategic Agreement. For the
avoidance of doubt, the license described herein shall survive the termination of the Strategic
Agreement.

Telephone Number Transitioning: Upon the occurrence of the Triggering Event CIGNA shall have the
right to instruct NationsHealth to port the Part D member servicing 800 numbers to CIGNA. CIGNA
shall then control the routing of these 800 numbers.

Servicing Staff Continuity: CIGNA and NationsHealth agree to allow CIGNA to employ up to 10
NationsHealth Part D member services agents to facilitate the continuous provision of the Services.
These member services agents shall continue to perform Part D member services on the NationsHealth
database under the direction of NationsHealth. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event,
CIGNA may employ up to 10 other personnel of NationsHealth to facilitate the continuous provision
of the Services. In such event, NationsHealth agrees to waive any applicable non-competes with
respect to such personnel.

ARTICLE 2

PREMISES AND QUIET ENJOYMENT

     Section 2.1 Landlord hereby leases the Premises to Tenant, and Tenant hereby rents and hires
the Premises from Landlord, for the Term. During the Term, Tenant shall have the right to use, in
common with others and in accordance with the Rules and Regulations, the Common Areas. Landlord
and Tenant each acknowledge that the Building is a part of a larger complex of office buildings
known as the Cumberland Office Park (the “Office Park”).

     Section 2.2 Provided that Tenant fully and timely performs all the terms of this Lease on
Tenant’s part to be performed, including payment by Tenant of all Rent, Tenant shall have, hold and
enjoy the Premises during the Term without hindrance or disturbances from or by Landlord; subject,
however, to all of the terms, conditions and provisions of any and all ground leases, deeds to
secure debt, mortgages, restrictive covenants, easements, and other encumbrances now or hereafter
affecting the Premises, the Project or the Office Park.

ARTICLE 3

TERM; COMMENCEMENT DATE;

DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES

     Section 3.1 The Commencement Date shall be the earlier of (a) the date the Premises are deemed
available for occupancy pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof or (b) the date Tenant or anyone claiming
by, through or under Tenant, occupies any portion of the Premises for the purpose of the conduct of
Tenant’s (or such other person’s) business therein or (c) August 1, 1999.

     Section 3.2

     A. The Premises shall be deemed available for occupancy as soon as the following conditions
have been met: (a) the Leasehold Improvements (as defined in Exhibit C to the Lease) have been
substantially completed as determined by Landlord’s architect or space planner; (b) either a
certificate or certificates of occupancy (temporary or final) or other certificate permitting the
lawful occupancy of the Premises has been issued for the Premises by the appropriate governmental
authority; and (c) at least three (3) Business Days’ notice of the anticipated occurrence of the
conditions in clauses (a) and (b) above has been given to Tenant.

     B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if there is a delay in the
availability for occupancy of the Premises due to Tenant Delay (as defined in Exhibit C to the
Lease) then the Premises shall be deemed available for occupancy on the date on which the Premises
would have been available for occupancy but for

2

 

such Tenant Delay, even though a certificate of occupancy or other certificate permitting the
lawful occupancy of the Premises has not been issued or the Leasehold Improvements have not been
commenced or completed.

     Section 3.3 The Net Rentable Area of the Premises and the Building are approximately as stated
in Sections 1.1I and J, respectively, and shall be specifically calculated by the Landlord’s
architect or space planner using base building plans in accordance with the definition set forth in
Article 27 hereof when the Leasehold Improvements for the Premises are substantially complete. By
written instrument substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto, Landlord shall notify
Tenant of the Commencement Date, the Net Rentable Area of the Premises and all other matters stated
therein. The Commencement Notice shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant as to all matters set
forth therein, unless within ten (10) days following delivery of such Commencement Notice, Tenant
contests any of the matters contained therein by notifying Landlord in writing of Tenant’s
objections. The foregoing notwithstanding, Landlord’s failure to deliver any Commencement Notice
to Tenant shall not affect Landlord’s determination of the Commencement Date or the Net Rentable
Area of the Premises.

     Section 3.4 Tenant may not enter or occupy the Premises prior to the Commencement Date without
Landlord’s express written consent and any entry by Tenant shall be subject to all of the terms of
this Lease; provided however, that no such early entry shall change the Commencement Date or the
Expiration Date.

     Section 3.5 Occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof by Tenant or anyone claiming
through or under Tenant for the conduct of Tenant’s, or such other person’s business therein shall
be conclusive evidence that Tenant and all parties claiming through or under Tenant (a) have
accepted the Premises as suitable for the purposes for which the Premises are leased hereunder, (b)
have accepted the Common Areas as being in a good and satisfactory condition and (c) have waived
any defects in the Premises and the Project; provided however, that, if any Leasehold Improvements
have been constructed and installed to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy, Tenant’s
acceptance of the Premises, and waiver of any defect therein, shall occur upon Landlord’s
substantial completion of the Leasehold Improvement, in the Premises in accordance with the terms
of Exhibit C hereof, subject only to Landlord’s completion of items on Landlord’s punchlist.
Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, conclusively establish the date of “substantial completion” by
providing Tenant with a written certification of such date. Landlord shall have no liability,
except for negligence or willful misconduct, to Tenant or any of Tenant’s agents, employees,
licensees, servants or invitees for any injury or damage to any person or property due to the
condition or design of, or any defect in, the Premises or the Project, including any electrical,
plumbing or mechanical systems and equipment of the Premises or the Project and the condition of or
any defect in the Land; and Tenant, for itself and its agents, employees, licensees, servants and
invitees, expressly assumes all risks of injury or damage to person or property, either proximate
or remote, resulting from the condition of the Premises or the Project.

ARTICLE 4

RENT

     Section 4.1 Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without notice, demand, offset or deduction, in
lawful money of the United States of America, at Landlord’s Address for Payment, or at such other
place as Landlord shall designate in writing from time to time (a) the Base Rent in equal monthly
installments, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month during the Term, and (b) the
Additional Rent, at the respective times required hereunder. The first monthly installment of Base
Rent and the Additional Rent payable under Article 5 hereof shall be paid in advance on the date of
Tenant’s execution of this Lease and applied to the first installments of Base Rent and such
Additional Rent coming due under this Lease. Payment of Rent shall begin on the Commencement Date;
provided, however, that, if either the Commencement Date or the Expiration Date falls on a date
other than the first day of a calendar month, the Rent due for such fractional month shall be
prorated on a per diem basis between Landlord and Tenant so as to charge Tenant only for the
portion of such fractional month falling within the Term.

     Section 4.2 All past due installments of Rent shall be subject to a late charge of $100.00 and
shall additionally bear interest until paid at a rate per annum (the “Interest Rate”) equal to the
greater of fifteen percent (15%) or four percent (4%) above the prime rate of interest from time to
time publicly announced by The First National Bank of Chicago, a national banking association, or
any successor thereof; provided, however, that, if at the time such interest is sought to be
imposed the rate of interest exceeds the maximum rate permitted under federal law or under the laws
of the State of Georgia, the rate of interest on such past due installments of Rent shall be the
maximum rate of interest then permitted by applicable law.

     Section 4.3

     A. On the first anniversary of the Commencement Date and on each anniversary date thereafter
(the “Adjustment Date(s)”), Tenant shall pay as adjusted Base Rent an amount equal to 103% of the
annual Base Rent for the preceding Lease Year, with appropriate adjustments based upon any changes
in the Net Rentable Area of the Premises. For purposes of illustration only, if the Base Rent for
the first Lease Year is $100,000, the Base Rent for the second Lease Year will be $103,000, and the
Base Rent for the third Lease Year will be $106,090, provided that the Net Rentable Area of the
Premises remains constant during said period. One-twelfth of said amount shall be payable by
Tenant in each month of the Lease Year, as hereinafter defined, as the new, adjusted monthly Base
Rent.

     B. As used in this Lease, the term “Lease Year” shall mean a 12-month period commencing on the
Commencement Date or any anniversary thereof, except that the final Lease Year shall be the period
commencing on the last anniversary of the Commencement Date during the Term, and ending on the
Termination Date. If the

3

 

final Lease Year is less than twelve (12) months, all amounts shall be approximately prorated based
upon a 365-day Year.

     C. Any provisions in this Lease with respect to the payments of the Base Rent by Tenant shall
also be applicable to the adjusted Base Rent provided for herein.

ARTICLE 5

OPERATING COSTS

     Section 5.1 Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on a per square foot basis, as Additional Rent, for
each year or fractional year during the Term, Tenant’s Share of the amount, if any, that Operating
Costs for such year exceed Base Year Operating Costs (“Tenant’s Operating Costs Payment”).
Tenant’s Operating Costs Payment shall be calculated and paid as follows:

     A. Commencing on the first day of January of the year following the year in which the
Commencement Date occurs, and on the first day of January of each year during the Term thereafter,
(or as soon as is practicable), Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a statement (“Landlord Operating
Costs Estimate”) setting forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Operating Costs for the
forthcoming year and Tenant Share of the amount by which such Operating Costs exceed the Base Year
Operating Costs. On the first day of each calendar month during such year, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant’s Operating Costs Payment. If for any reason
Landlord has not provided Tenant with Landlord’s Operating Costs Estimate on the first day of
January of any year during the Term, then (a) until the first day of the calendar month following
the month in which Tenant is given Landlord’s Operating Costs Estimate, Tenant shall continue to
pay to Landlord on the first day of each calendar month the sum, if any, payable by Tenant under
this Section 5.1 for the month of December of the preceding year and, (b) promptly after Landlord’s
Operating Costs Estimate is furnished to Tenant, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant stating
whether the installments of Tenant’s Operating Costs Payments previously made for such year were
greater or less than the Installments of Tenant’s Operating Costs Payments to be made for such year
in accordance with Landlord’s Operating Costs Estimate, and (i) if there shall be a deficiency,
Tenant shall pay the amount thereof to Landlord within ten (10) days after the delivery of
Landlord’s Operating Costs Estimate, or (ii) if there shall have been an overpayment, Landlord
shall apply such overpayment as a credit against the next accruing monthly installment(s) of
Additional Rent due from Tenant under this Section 5.1 until fully credited to Tenant, and (iii) on
the first day of the calendar month following the month in which Landlord’s Operating Costs
Estimate is given to Tenant and on the first day of each calendar month throughout the remainder of
such year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of
Tenant’s Operating Costs Payment. The foregoing notwithstanding, Landlord shall have the right
from time to time during any year to notify Tenant in writing of any change in Landlord’s Operating
Costs Estimate, in which event such Tenant’s Operating Costs Payment, as previously estimated,
shall be adjusted to reflect the amount shown in such notice and shall be effective, and due from
Tenant, on the first day of the month following Landlord’s giving of such notice.

     B. Commencing on the first day of March of the year following the year in which the
Commencement Date occurs, and on the first day of March of each year during the Term thereafter (or
as soon after as is practicable), Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a statement of the actual
Operating Costs for the preceding year, and Tenant’s Share of the amount by which such actual
Operating Costs exceeds the Base Year Operating Costs. Within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s
giving of such statement, Tenant shall make a lump sum payment to Landlord in the amount, if any,
by which Tenant’s Operating Costs Payment for such preceding year as shown on such Landlord’s
statement exceeds the aggregate of the monthly installments of Tenant’s Operating Costs Payments
actually paid during such preceding year. If Tenant’s Operating Costs Payment, as shown on such
Landlord’s statement, is less than the aggregate of the monthly installments of Tenant’s Operating
Costs Payment actually paid by Tenant during such preceding year, then Landlord shall apply such
amount to the next accruing installment(s) of Additional Rent due from Tenant under this Section
5.1 until fully credited to Tenant.

     C. If the Term ends on a date other than the last day of December, the actual Operating Costs
for the year in which the Expiration Date occurs shall be prorated so that Tenant shall pay that
portion of Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs for such year represented by a fraction, the numerator
of which shall be the number of days during such fractional year falling within the Terms, and the
denominator of which is 365 (or 366, in the case of a leap year). The provisions of this Section
5.1 shall survive the Expiration Date or any sooner termination provided for in this Lease.

     Section 5.2

     A. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Operating Costs” shall mean any and all expenses,
costs and disbursements of every kind which Landlord pays, incurs or becomes obligated to pay in
connection with the operation, management, repair and maintenance of all portions of the Project.
It is understood that real estate adjacent to the Project has been developed as part of a
development project which includes the Building and that certain additional real estate adjacent to
the Land may be developed in the future. Any such development project which shares facilities and
services with the Building shall include that portion of Operating Costs relating to such
development project which is allocated to the Building or the Land. All Operating Costs shall be
determined according to generally accepted accounting principles which shall be consistently
applied. Operating Costs include the following: (a) Wages, salaries, and fees (including all
reasonable education, travel and professional fees) of all personnel or entities (exclusive of
Landlord’s executive personnel) engaged in the operation, repair, maintenance, or security of the
Project, including taxes, insurance, and benefits relating thereto and the costs of all supplies
and

4

 

materials (including work clothes and uniforms) used in the operation, repair, maintenance and
security of the Project; (b) Cost of performance by Landlord’s personnel of, or of all service
agreements for, maintenance, janitorial services, access control, alarm service, window cleaning,
elevator maintenance and landscaping for the Project (such cost shall include the rental of
personal property used by Landlord’s personnel in the maintenance and repair of the Project; (c)
Cost of utilities for the Project, including water, sewer, power, electricity, gas, fuel, lighting
and all air-conditioning, heating and ventilating costs; (d) Cost of all insurance, including
casualty and liability insurance applicable to the Project and to land equipment, fixtures and
personal property used in connection therewith, business interruption or rent insurance against
such perils as are commonly insured against by prudent landlords, such other insurance as may be
required by any lessor or mortgagee of Landlord, and such other insurance which Landlord considers
reasonably necessary in the operation of the Project, together with all appraisal and consultants’
fees in connection with such insurance; (e) All Taxes (for purposes hereof, the term “Taxes” shall
mean, all taxes, assessments, levies, and other governmental charges, applicable to or assessed
against the Project or any portion thereof, or applicable to or assessed against Landlord’s
personal property used in connection therewith, whether federal, state, county, or municipal and
whether assessed by taxing districts, improvement districts, or authorities presently taxing the
Project or the operation thereof or by other taxing authorities or improvement districts
subsequently created, or otherwise, and any other taxes and assessments attributable to or assessed
against all or any part of the Project or its operation including any reasonable expenses,
including fees and disbursements of attorneys, tax consultants, arbitrators, appraisers, experts
and other witnesses, incurred by Landlord in contesting any taxes or the assessed valuation of all
or any part of the Project. If at any time during the Term there shall be levied, assessed, or
imposed on Landlord or all or any part of the Project by any governmental entity any general or
special ad valorem or other charge or tax directly upon rents received under leases, or if any fee,
tax, assessment or other charge is imposed which is measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon
such rents, or if any charge or tax is made based directly or indirectly upon the transactions
represented by leases or the occupancy or use of the Project or any portion thereof such taxes,
fees, assessments or other charges shall be deemed to be Taxes; provided, however, that any (1)
franchise, corporation, income or net profits tax, unless substituted for real estate taxes or
imposed as additional charges in connection with the ownership of the Project, which may be
assessed against Landlord or the Project or both; (2) transfer taxes assessed against Landlord or
the Project or both, (3) penalties or interest on any late payments of Landlord and, (4) personal
property taxes of Tenant or other tenants in the Project shall be excluded from taxes. If any or
all of the Taxes paid hereunder are by law permitted to be paid in installments, notwithstanding
how Landlord pays the same then, for purposes of calculating Operating Costs, such Taxes shall be
deemed to have been divided and paid in the maximum number of installments permitted by law, and
there shall be included in Operating Costs for each year only such installments as are required by
law to be paid within such year, together with interest thereon and on future such installments as
provided by law); (f) Legal and accounting costs incurred by Landlord or paid by Landlord to third
parties (exclusive of legal fees with respect to disputes with individual tenants, negotiations of
tenant leases, or with respect to the ownership rather than the operation of the Project),
appraisal fees, consulting fees, all other professional fees and disbursements and all association
dues; (g) Cost of non-capitalized repairs and general maintenance for the Project (excluding
repairs and general maintenance paid by proceeds of insurance or by Tenant, other tenants of the
Project or other third parties); (b) Amortization of the cost of improvements or equipment which
are capital in nature and which (i) are for the purpose of reducing Operating Costs for the
Project, up to the amount saved as a result of the installation thereof, as reasonably estimated by
Landlord, or (ii) enhance the Project for the general benefit of tenants or occupants thereof, or
(iii) are required by any governmental regulation or authority, or (iv) replace any Building
equipment needed to operate the Project at the same quality levels as prior to the replacement (all
such costs, including interest thereon, shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful
life of the capital investment items, as reasonably determined by Landlord, but in no event beyond
the reasonable useful life of the Project as an office project); (i) the Project management office
rent or rental value; and (j) a management fee (whether or not Landlord engages a manager for the
Project) and all items reimbursable to the Project manager, if any, pursuant to any management
contract for the Project (the management fee shall be the greater of (i) three percent (3%) of the
gross receipts from the operation of the Project or (ii) fair market management fee charged from
time to time by management companies in the Atlanta, Georgia suburban area).

     B. Operating Costs shall not include (a) specific costs for any capital repairs, replacements
or improvements, except as provided above; (b) expenses for which Landlord is reimbursed or
indemnified (either by an insurer, condemnor, tenant, warrantor or otherwise) to the extent of
funds received by Landlord; (c) expenses incurred in leasing or procuring tenants (including lease
commissions, advertising expenses and expenses of renovating space for tenants); (d) payments for
rented equipment the cost of which would constitute a capital expenditure not permitted pursuant to
the foregoing if the equipment were purchased; (e) interest or amortization payments on any
mortgages; (f) net base rents under ground leases; (g) cost representing an amount paid to an
affiliate of Landlord which is in excess of the amount which would have been paid in the absence of
such relationship; or (h) costs specially billed to and paid by specific tenants. There shall be
no duplication of costs or reimbursements.

     Section 5.3 If the Building is not fully occupied (meaning one-hundred percent (100%) of the
Net Rentable Area of the Building) during any full or fractional year of the Term, the actual
Operating Costs shall be adjusted for such year to an amount which Landlord estimates would have
been incurred in Landlord’s reasonable judgment had the Building been fully occupied.

     Section 5.4 If during the Term any change occurs in either the number of square feet of the
Net Rentable Area of the Premises or of the Net Rentable Area of the Building, Tenants Share of
Operating Costs shall be adjusted, effective as of the date of any such change. Landlord shall
promptly notify Tenant in writing of such change and the reason therefor. Any changes made
pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall not alter the computation of Operating Costs as provided in this
Article 5, but, on and after the date of any such change, Tenant’s Operating

5

 

Costs Payment pursuant to Section 5.1A shall be computed upon Tenant’s Share thereof, as adjusted.
If such estimated payments of Tenant’s Share are so adjusted during a year, a reconciliation
payment for Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs pursuant to this Article 5 for the calendar year in
which such change occurs shall be computed pursuant to the method set forth in Section 5.1B, such
computation to take into account the daily weighted average of Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs
during such year.

ARTICLE 6

PARKING

     Section 6.1 Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a license to use in common with other tenants and
with the public the Parking Facilities (such licenses shall be referred to as “Tenant’s Parking
Permits”). Tenant shall be entitled to use four (4) unassigned parking spaces in the Parking
Facilities for each 1,000 square feet of Net Rentable Area of the Premises leased by Tenant.
Landlord shall not be obligated to provide Tenant with any additional parking spaces. If Tenant
fails to observe the Rules and Regulations with respect to the Parking Facilities, then Landlord,
at its option, shall have the right to treat such failure as a default under this Lease and to
terminate Tenant’s Parking Permits, without legal process, and to remove Tenant, Tenant’s vehicles
and those of its employees, licensees or invitees and all of Tenant’s personal property from the
Parking Facilities.

     Section 6.2 If all or any portion of the Parking Facilities shall be damaged or rendered
unusable by fire or other casualty or any taking pursuant to eminent domain proceeding (or deed in
lieu thereof, and as a result thereof Landlord or the garage operator is unable to make available
to Tenant the parking provided for herein, then the number of cars which Tenant shall be entitled
to park hereunder shall be proportionately reduced so that the number of cars which Tenant may park
in the Parking Facilities after the casualty or condemnation in question shall bear the same ratio
to the total number of cars which can be parked in the Parking Facilities at such time as the
number of cars Tenant had the right to park in the Parking Facilities prior to such casualty or
condemnation bore to the aggregate number of cars which could be parked therein at that time.

ARTICLE 7

SERVICES OF LANDLORD

Section 7.1

     A. During the Term, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with the following services: (a) hot and
cold water in Building Standard bathrooms and chilled water in Building Standard drinking
fountains; (b) electrical power sufficient for lighting the Premises and for the operation therein
of typewriters, voicewriters, calculating machines, word processing equipment, photographic
reproduction equipment, copying machines, personal computers and similar items of business
equipment which consume, in the aggregate, less than five (5) watts per square foot of Net Rentable
Area of the Premises and require a voltage of 120 volts single phase or less, (c) heating,
ventilating or air-conditioning, as appropriate, during Business Hours at such temperatures and in
such amounts as customarily and seasonally provided to tenants occupying comparable space in office
buildings in the Atlanta, Georgia suburban area; (d) electric lighting for the Common Areas of the
Project; (e) elevator service (if the Building has elevators), in common with others, for access to
and from the Premises twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week; provided, however,
that Landlord shall have the right to limit the number of (but not cease to operate all) elevators
to be operated after Business Hours and on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays; (f) janitorial cleaning
services; (g) facilities for Tenant’s loading, unloading, delivery and pick-up activities,
including access thereto during Business Hours, subject to the Rules and Regulations, the type of
facilities, and other limitations of such loading facilities; and (h) replacement, as necessary, of
all Building Standard lamps and ballasts in Building Standard light fixtures within the Premises.
All services referred to in this Section 7.1A shall be provided by Landlord and paid for by Tenant
as part of Tenant’s Operating Costs Payment.

     B. If Tenant requires air-conditioning, heating or other services, including cleaning
services, routinely supplied by Landlord for hours or days in addition to the hours and days
specified in Section 7.lA, Landlord shall make reasonable efforts to provide such additional
service after reasonable prior written request therefore from Tenant, and Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for the cost of such additional service; provided however, that, if any other tenants in
the Building served by the equipment providing such additional service to the Premises request that
Landlord concurrently provide such service to such other tenants, the cost of Landlord’s providing
such additional and concurrent service shall be prorated among all of the tenants requesting such
service. Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any additional service to Tenant at any time
Tenant is in default under this Lease unless Tenant pays to Landlord, in advance, the cost of such
additional service. If any machinery or equipment which generates abnormal heat or otherwise
creates unusual demands on the air-conditioning or heating system serving the Premises is used in
the Premises and if Tenant has not, within five (5) days after demand from Landlord, taken such
steps, at Tenant’s expense, as shall be necessary to cease such adverse affect on the
air-conditioning or heating system, Landlord shall have the right to install supplemental
air-conditioning or heating units in the Premises, and the full cost of such supplemental units
(including the cost of acquisition, installation, operation, use and maintenance thereof) shall be
paid by Tenant to Landlord in advance or on demand.

     C. If Tenant’s requirements for or consumption of electricity exceed the capacities specified
in clause (b) of Section 7.1A hereof, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, make
reasonable efforts to supply such service through the then-existing feeders and risers serving the
Building and the Premises and shall bill Tenant periodically for such additional service and Tenant
shall pay each such bill with the installment of Rent next due.

6

 

The degree of such additional consumption and potential consumption by Tenant shall be determined
at Landlord’s election, by either or both (a) a survey of standard or average tenant usage of
electricity in the Building performed by a reputable consultant selected by Landlord and paid for
by Tenant, and (b) a separate meter in the Premises to be installed and maintained, and read by
Landlord, all at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall not install any electrical equipment
requiring special wiring unless approved in advance by Landlord. At no time shall use of
electricity in the Premises exceed the capacity of existing feeders and risers to or wiring in the
Premises. Any risers or wiring to meet Tenant’s excess electrical requirements shall, upon
Tenant’s written request, be installed by Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost, if, in Landlord’s
reasonable judgment, the same are necessary and shall not (i) cause permanent damage or injury to
the Project, the Building or the Premises, (ii) cause or create a dangerous or hazardous condition,
(iii) entail excessive or unreasonable alterations, repairs or expenses or (iv) interfere with or
disturb other tenants or occupants of the Building.

     Section 7.2 Landlord’s obligation to furnish electrical and other utility services shall be
subject to the rules and regulations of the supplier of such electricity or other utility services
and the rules and regulations of any municipal or other governmental authority regulating the
business of providing electricity and other utility services, Landlord shall have the right, at
Landlord’s option, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Tenant (provided
such prior notice will be less if either the discontinuance of such service is required by
applicable law or Landlord receives shorter notice from the utility company providing electricity
or other utility service), to discontinue electric or other utility services to the Premises and
arrange for a direct connection thereof through a public utility supplying such service. If
Landlord gives such notice of discontinuance, Landlord shall make all necessary arrangements with
the public utility supplying electric or other utility service directly to the Building to furnish
electric or other utility service to the Premises, and, unless prohibited by law or regulations of
such public utility, Landlord shall not discontinue electric or other utility service to the
Premises until such public utility is ready to supply service to the Premises. Tenant shall,
however be responsible for contracting promptly and directly with such public utility supplying
such service and for paying all deposits for, and all costs relating to, such service.

     Section 7.3 No failure to furnish, or any stoppage of, the services referred to in this
Article 7 resulting from any cause shall make Landlord liable in any respect for damages to any
person, property or business, or be construed as an eviction of Tenant, or entitle Tenant to any
abatement of Rent or other relief from any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Should any
malfunction of any systems or facilities occur within the Project or should maintenance or
alterations of such systems or facilities become necessary, Landlord shall repair the same promptly
and with reasonable diligence, and Tenant shall have no claim for rebate, abatement of Rent, or
damages because of malfunctions or any such interruptions in service.

ARTICLE 8

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

     Section 8.1 Neither Tenant nor its legal representatives or successors in interest shall, by
operation of law or otherwise, assign, mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer this Lease
or any part hereof, or the interest of Tenant under this Lease, or in any sublease or the rent
thereunder. The Premises or any part thereof shall not be sublet, occupied or used for any purpose
by anyone other than Tenant, without Tenant’s obtaining in each instance the prior written consent
of Landlord in the manner hereinafter provided. Tenant shall not modify, extend, or amend a
sublease previously consented to by Landlord without obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent
thereto. Landlord’s consent to any assignment of this Lease or sublet of the Premises shall not
waive, nor be deemed to have waived, the provisions of this Article 8 and all subsequent
assignments and subleases shall require the prior written consent of Landlord in the manner
hereinafter provided.

     Section 8.2 An assignment of this Lease shall be deemed to have occurred (a) if in a single
transaction or in a series of transactions more than 50% in interest in Tenant, any guarantor of
this Lease, or any subtenant (whether stock, partnership, interest or otherwise) is transferred,
diluted, reduced, or otherwise affected with the result that the present holder or owners of
Tenant, such guarantor, or such subtenant have less than a 50% interest in Tenant, such guarantor
or such subtenant, or (b) if Tenant’s obligations under this Lease are taken over or assumed in
consideration of Tenant leasing space in another office building. The transfer of the outstanding
capital stock of any corporate Tenant, guarantor or subtenant through the “over-the-counter” market
or any recognized national securities exchange (other than by persons owning 5% or more of the
voting calculation of such 50% interest of clause 8.2(a) above) shall not be included in the
calculation of such 50% interest in clause (a) above.

     Section 8.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.1, Tenant shall have the
right, upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Landlord, to (a) sublet all or part of the
Premises to any related corporation or other entity which controls Tenant, is controlled by Tenant
or is under common control with Tenant; or (b) assign this Lease to a successor corporation into
which or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated or which acquired substantially all of
Tenant’s assets and property provided that (i) such successor corporation assumes all of the
obligations and liabilities of Tenant and shall have assets, capitalization and net worth at least
equal to the assets, capitalization and net worth of Tenant as of the date of this Lease as
determined by generally accepted accounting principles, and (ii) Tenant shall provide in its notice
to Landlord the information required in Section 8.4. For the purpose hereof “control” shall mean
ownership of not less than 50% of all the voting stock or legal and equitable interest in such
corporation or entity.

     Section 8.4 If Tenant should desire to assign this Lease or sublet the Premises (or any part
thereof), Tenant shall give Landlord written notice no later than the time required for notice
under Section 8.3 in the case of

7

 

an assignment or subletting, or sixty (60) days in advance of the proposed effective date of any
other proposed assignment or sublease, specifying (a) the name, current address, and business of
the proposed assignee or sublessee, (b) the amount and location of the space within the Premises
proposed to be so subleased, (c) the proposed effective date and duration of the assignment or
subletting, and (d) the proposed rent or consideration to be paid to Tenant by such assignee or
sublessee. Tenant shall promptly supply Landlord with financial statements and other information
as Landlord may request to evaluate the proposed assignment or sublease. For assignments and
sublettings other than those permitted by Section 8.3, Landlord shall have thirty (30) days
following receipt of such notice and other information requested by Landlord within which to notify
Tenant in writing that Landlord elects: (i) to terminate this Lease as to the space so affected as
of the proposed effective date set forth in Tenant’s notice, in which event Tenant shall be
relieved of all further obligations hereunder as to such space, except for obligations under
Articles 17 and 22 and all other provisions of this Lease which expressly survive the termination
hereof or (ii) to permit Tenant to assign or sublet such space; provided, however, that, if the
rent rate agreed upon between Tenant and its proposed subtenant is greater than the rent rate that
Tenant must pay Landlord hereunder for that portion of the Premises, or if any consideration shall
be promised to or received by Tenant in connection with such proposed assignment or sublease (in
addition to rent), then all of such excess rent and other consideration shall be considered
Additional Rent owed by Tenant to Landlord (less brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees and other
disbursements reasonably incurred by Tenant for such assignment and subletting if acceptable
evidence of such disbursements is delivered to Landlord), and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord,
in the case of excess rent, in the same manner that Tenant pays Base Rent and, in the case of any
other consideration, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof by Tenant; or (iii) to
refuse, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, to consent to Tenant’s assignment or subleasing of
such space and to continue this Lease in full force and effect as to the entire Premises. The
parties agree that Landlord may reasonably refuse to consent to an assignment or subletting if the
proposed assignee or subtenant is not financially creditworthy, is a governmental authority or
agency, an organization or person enjoying sovereign or diplomatic immunity, a medical or dental
practice or a user that will attract a volume, frequency or type of visitor or employee to the
Building which is not consistent with the standards of a high quality office building or that will
impose an excessive demand on or use of the facilities or services of the Building. It shall also
be reasonable for Landlord to refuse to consent to any assignment or subletting if (x) Tenant is
then in default under this Lease, or (y) such assignment or subletting would cause a default under
another lease in the Building or under any ground lease, deed of trust, mortgage, restrictive
covenant, easement or other encumbrance affecting the Project, or cause a violation of any
applicable laws or regulations or insurance requirements affecting the Project, or in any way
increase the risk of environmental damage to the Project, or (z) such assignment or subletting
would compete with Landlord’s leasing of the Project or otherwise have a potential negative
monetary impact on Landlord. If Landlord should fail to notify Tenant in writing of such election
within the aforesaid thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have elected option (iii)
above. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for legal fees and any other reasonable costs incurred
by Landlord in connection with any permitted assignment or subletting and such payment shall not be
deducted from the Additional Rent owed to Landlord pursuant to subsection (ii) above. Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord copies of all documents executed in connection with any permitted assignment or
subletting, which documents shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and
which shall require any assignee to assume performance of all terms of this Lease to be performed
by Tenant or any subtenant to comply with all the terms of this Lease to be performed by Tenant.
No acceptance by Landlord of any Rent or any other sum of money from any assignee, sublessee or
other category of transferee shall be deemed to constitute Landlord’s consent to any assignment,
sublease, or transfer.

     Section 8.5 Any attempted assignment or sublease by Tenant in violation of the terms and
provisions of this Article 8 shall be void and shall constitute a material breach of this Lease. In
no event, shall any assignment, subletting or transfer, whether or not with Landlord’s consent,
relieve Tenant of its primary liability under this Lease for the entire Term and Tenant shall in no
way be released from the full and complete performance of all the terms hereof. Further, Tenant’s
continuing primary liability for the Tenant’s obligations under this Lease following an assignment
or sublease shall not be released, impaired or otherwise affected by Landlord’s waiver of any
provision of this Lease or Landlord’s failure to enforce any provision of this Lease. If Landlord
takes possession of the Premises before the expiration of the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall
have the right, at its option, to terminate all subleases, or to take over any sublease of the
Premises or any portion thereof and such subtenant shall attorn to Landlord, as its landlord, under
all the terms and obligations of such sublease occurring from and after such date, but excluding
previous acts, omissions, negligence or defaults of Tenant and any repair or obligation in excess
of available net insurance proceeds or condemnation award.

     Section 8.6

     A. Tenant acknowledges that this Lease is a lease of nonresidential real property and
therefore agrees that Tenant, as the debtor in possession, or the trustee for Tenant (collectively
“the Trustee”) in any proceeding under Title 11 of the United State Bankruptcy Code relating to
Bankruptcy, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code), shall not seek or request any extension of time to
assume or reject this Lease or to perform any obligations of this Lease which arise from or after
the order of relief.

     B. If the Trustee proposes to assume or to assign this Lease or sublet the Premises (or any
portion thereof to any person which shall have made a bona fide offer to accept an assignment of
this Lease or a subletting on terms acceptable to the Trustee, the Trustee shall give Landlord, and
lessors and mortgagees of Landlord of which Tenant has notice, written notice setting forth the
name and address of such person and the terms and conditions of such offer, no later than twenty
(20) days after receipt of such offer, but in any event no later then ten (10) days prior to the
date on which the Trustee makes application to the Bankruptcy Court for authority and approval to
enter into such assumption and assignment or subletting. Landlord shall have the prior right and
option, to be exercised by written notice to the Trustee given at any time prior to the effective
date of such proposed

8

 

assignment or subletting, to accept an assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Premises upon
the same terms and conditions and for the same consideration, if any, as the bona fide offer made
by such person, less any brokerage commissions which may be payable out of the consideration to be
paid by such person for the assignment or subletting of this Lease.

     C. The Trustee shall have the right to assume Tenant’s rights and obligations under this Lease
only if the Tenant: (a) promptly cures or provides adequate assurance that the Trustee will
promptly cure any default under the Lease; (b) compensates or provides adequate assurance that the
Trustee will promptly compensate Landlord for any actual pecuniary loss incurred by Landlord as a
result of Tenant’s default under this Lease; and (c) provides adequate assurance of future
performance under the Lease. Adequate assurance of future performance by the proposed assignee
shall include, as a minimum, that (i) the Trustee or any proposed assignee of the Lease shall
deliver to Landlord a security deposit in an amount equal to at least three (3) months Rent
accruing under the Lease; (ii) any proposed assignee of the Lease shall provide to Landlord an
audited financial statement, dated no later than six (6) months prior to the effective date of such
proposed assignment or sublease with no material change therein as of the effective date, which
financial statement shall show the proposed assignee to have a net worth equal to at least twelve
(12) months Rent accruing under the Lease, or, in the alternative, the proposed assignee shall
provide a guarantor of such proposed assignee’s obligations under the Lease, which guarantor shall
provide an audited financial statement meeting the requirements of (ii) above and shall execute and
deliver to Landlord a guaranty agreement in form and substance acceptable to Landlord and (iii) any
proposed assignee shall grant to Landlord a security interest in favor of Landlord in all
furniture, fixtures, and other personal property to be used by such proposed assignee in the
Premises. All payments of Rent required of Tenant under this Lease, whether or not expressly
denominated as such in this Lease, shall constitute rent for the purposes of Title I of the
Bankruptcy Code.

     D. The parties agree that for the purposes of the Bankruptcy Code relating to (a) the
obligation of the Trustee to provide adequate assurance that the Trustee will “promptly” cure
defaults and compensate Landlord for actual pecuniary loss, the word “promptly” shall mean that
cure of defaults and compensation will occur no later than sixty (60) days following the filing of
any motion or application to assume this Lease; and (b) the obligation of the Trustee to compensate
or to provide adequate assurance that the Trustee will promptly compensate Landlord for “actual
pecuniary loss,” the term “actual pecuniary loss” shall mean, in addition to any other provisions
contained herein relating to Landlord’s damages upon default, payments of Rent, including interest
at the Interest Rate on all unpaid Rent, all attorneys’ fees and all related costs of Landlord
incurred in connection with any default of Tenant in connection with Tenant’s bankruptcy
proceedings.

     E. Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed, without further act or deed, to have assumed all of the
obligations arising under this Lease and each of the conditions and provisions hereof on and after
the date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall, upon the request of Landlord, forthwith
execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument, in form and substance acceptable to Landlord,
confirming such assumption.

     Section 8.7 The term “Landlord,” as used in this Lease, so far as covenants or obligations on
the part of Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners,
at the time in question, of the fee title to, or a lessee’s interest in ground lease of, the Land
or the Building. In the event of any transfer, assignment or other conveyance or transfers of any
such title or interest, Landlord herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers or
conveyances, the then grantor) shall be automatically freed and relieved from and after the date of
such transfer, assignment or conveyance of all liability, as respects the performance of any
covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed
and, without further agreement, the transferee of such title or interest shall be deemed to have
assumed and agreed to observe and perform any and all obligations of Landlord hereunder, during its
ownership of the Project. Landlord may transfer its interest in the Project without the consent of
Tenant and such transfer or subsequent transfer shall not be deemed a violation on Landlord’s part
of the terms of this Lease.

ARTICLE 9

REPAIRS

     Section 9.1 Except for ordinary wear and tear, casualty and condemnation and except as
otherwise provided in Section 9.2, Landlord shall perform all maintenance and make all repairs and
replacements to the Premises (including the Leasehold Improvements). Tenant shall pay to Landlord
the actual cost (including a fee equal to fifteen percent (15%) of actual costs to cover Landlord’s
overhead and a fee for Landlord’s agent or manager) for (a) all maintenance, repairs and
replacements within the Premises (including the Leasehold Improvements), other than (i) repairs and
replacements necessitated by the willful misconduct or negligence of Landlord or its agents,
employees, contractors, invitees or licensees to the extent the cost thereof is not collectible
under Tenant’s insurance, or if Tenant is not carrying all of the insurance described in Section
14.1A, to the extent such cost would not be covered by the insurance described in Section 14.1A, if
the same were in effect, and (ii) maintenance, repairs and replacements to the central systems of
the Building located within the Premises; (b) all repairs and replacements necessitated by damage
to the Project (including the Building structure and the central systems of the Building within the
Premises) caused by the negligence or willful misconduct or negligence of Tenant or its agents,
contractors, invitees and licensees but only to the extent the cost thereof is not collectible
under Landlord’s insurance, or, if Landlord is not carrying all of the insurance described in
Section 14.2, to the extent that such cost would not be covered by the insurance described in
Section 14.2 if the same were in effect. Amounts payable by Tenant pursuant to this Section 9.1
shall be payable on demand after receipt of an invoice therefor from

9

 

Landlord. Landlord has no obligation and has made no promise to maintain, alter, remodel, improve,
repair, decorate, or paint the Premises or any part thereof, except as specifically set forth in
this Lease. In no event shall Landlord have any obligation to maintain, repair or replace any
furniture, furnishings, fixtures or personal property of Tenant

     Section 9.2 Tenant shall keep the Premises (including the Leasehold Improvements) in good
order and in a safe, neat and clean condition. No representations respecting the condition of the
Premises or the Building or the other portions of the Project have been made by Landlord to Tenant
except as specifically set forth in this Lease. Except as provided in Section 10.1 or specifically
consented to by Landlord, Tenant shall not perform any maintenance or repair work or make any
replacement in or to the Premises (including the Leasehold Improvements) but rather shall promptly
notify Landlord of the need for such maintenance, repair or replacement so that Landlord may
proceed to perform the same pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.1. In the event Landlord
specifically consents to the performance of any maintenance or the making of any repairs or
replacements by Tenant and Tenant fails to promptly commence and diligently pursue the performance
of such maintenance or the making of such repairs or replacements, then Landlord, at its option,
may perform such maintenance or make such repairs and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, on demand
after Tenant receives an invoice therefor, the cost thereof plus a fee equal to fifteen percent
(l5%) of the actual costs to cover overhead and a fee for Landlord’s agent or manager.

     Section 9.3 All repairs made by Tenant pursuant to Section 9.2 shall be performed in a good
and workmanlike manner by contractors or other repair personnel selected by Tenant from an approved
list of contractors and repair personnel maintained by Landlord in the Project’s management office;
provided, however, that neither Tenant nor its contractors or repair personnel shall be permitted
to do any work affecting the central systems of the Building. In no event shall such work be done
for Landlord’s account or in a manner which allows any liens to be filed in violation of Article
11. To the extent any repairs involve the making of alterations to the Premises, Tenant shall
comply with the provisions of Article 10.

     Section 9.4 Subject to the other provisions of this Lease imposing obligations regarding
repair upon Tenant, Landlord shall repair all machinery and equipment necessary to provide the
services of Landlord described in Article 7 (provided that Tenant shall pay the costs of any repair
to such systems or any part thereof damaged by Tenant and Tenant’s employees, customers, clients,
agents, licensees and invitees) and for repair of all portions of the Project which do not comprise
a part of the Premises and are not leased to others.

ARTICLE 10

ALTERATIONS

     Section 10.1 Tenant shall not at any time during the Term make any alterations to the Premises
without first obtaining Landlord’s written consent thereto, which consent Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold or delay; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be deemed unreasonable
by refusing to consent to any alterations which are visible from the exterior of the Building or
the Project, which will or are likely to cause any weakening of any part of the structure of the
Premises, the Building or the Project or which will or are likely to cause damage or disruption to
the central building systems or which are prohibited by any underlying ground lease or mortgage.
Should Tenant desire to make any alterations to the Premises, Tenant shall submit all plans and
specifications for such proposed alterations to Landlord for Landlord’s review before Tenant allows
any such work to commence, and Landlord shall promptly approve or disapprove such plans and
specifications for any of the reasons set forth in this Section 10.1 or for any other reason
reasonably deemed sufficient by Landlord. Tenant shall select and use only contractors,
subcontractors or other repair personnel from those listed on Landlord’s approved list maintained
by Landlord in the Project management office. Upon Tenant’s receipt of written approval from
Landlord and any required approval of any mortgagee or lessor of Landlord, and upon Tenant’s
payment to Landlord of (a) a reasonable fee presented by Landlord for the work of Landlord and
Landlord’s employees and representatives in reviewing and approving such plans and specifications
and (b) the fees, if any charged by any mortgagee or lessor of Landlord for such review and
approval, Tenant shall have the right to proceed with the construction of all approved alterations,
but only so long as such alterations are in strict compliance with the plans and specifications so
approved by Landlord and with the provisions of this Article 10. All alterations shall be made at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense, either by Tenant’s contractors or, at Tenant’s option, by Landlord
on terms reasonably satisfactory to Tenant, including a fee of fifteen percent (15%) of the actual
costs of such work to cover Landlord’s overhead on a fee for Landlord’s agent or manager in
supervising and coordinating such work. If Tenant’s contractor performs such work, a fee of seven
and one-half percent (7.5%) of the actual costs of such work fee for Landlord’s agent or manager in
supervising and coordinating such work to cover overhead and a fee for Landlord’s agent or manager
for supervising and coordinating such work. In no event, however, shall anyone other than Landlord
or Landlord’s employees or representatives perform work to be done which affects the central
systems of the Building.

     Section 10.2 All construction, alterations and repair work done by or for Tenant shall (a) be
performed in such a manner as to maintain harmonious labor relations; (b) not adversely affect the
safety of the Project, the Building or the Premises or the systems thereof and not affect the
central systems of the Building; (c) comply with all building, safety, fire, plumbing, electrical,
and other codes and governmental and insurance requirements; (d) not result in any usage in excess
of Building Standard of water, electricity, gas, or other utilities or of heating, ventilating or
air-conditioning (either during or after such work) unless prior written arrangements satisfactory
to Landlord are made with respect thereto; (a) be completed promptly and in a good and workmanlike
manner and in compliance with, and subject to, all of the provisions of Article 2 of Exhibit C
hereof; and (f) not

10

 

disturb Landlord or other tenants in the Building. After completion of any alterations to the
Premises, Tenant will deliver to Landlord a copy of “as built” plans and specifications depicting
and describing such alterations.

     Section 10.3 All Leasehold Improvements, alterations and other physical additions made to or
installed by or for Tenant in the Premises shall be and remain Landlord’s property (except for
Tenant’s furniture, personal property and movable trade fixtures) and shall not be removed without
Landlord’s written consent. Tenant agrees to remove, at its sole cost and expense, all of Tenant’s
furniture, personal property and movable trade fixtures, and, if directed to or permitted to do so
by Landlord in writing, all, or any part of the Leasehold Improvements, alterations and other
physical additions made by or on behalf of Tenant to the Premises (including, without limitation,
all cabling and wiring for computer systems, telephones and the like whether located above the
finished ceiling or underneath the floor), on or before the Expiration Date or any earlier date of
termination of this Lease. Tenant shall repair, or promptly reimburse Landlord for the cost of
repairing, all damage done to the Premises or the Building by such removal. Any Leasehold
Improvements, alterations or physical additions made by or on behalf of Tenant which Landlord does
not direct or permit Tenant to remove at any time during or at the end of the Term shall become the
property of Landlord at the end of the Tern without any payment to Tenant. If Tenant fails to
remove any of Tenant’s furniture, personal property or movable trade fixtures by the Expiration
Date or any sooner date of termination of the Lease or, if Tenant fails to remove any Leasehold
Improvements, alterations and other physical additions made by Tenant to the Premises which
Landlord has in writing directed Tenant to remove (including, without limitation, all cabling and
wiring for computer systems, telephones and the like whether located above the finished ceiling or
underneath the floor), Landlord shall have the right on the fifth (5th) day after Landlord’s
delivery of written notice to Tenant to deem such property abandoned by Tenant and to remove,
store, sell, discard or otherwise deal with or dispose of such abandoned property in a commercially
reasonable manner. Tenant shall be liable for all costs of such disposition of Tenant’s abandoned
property, and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant in any respect regarding such property of
Tenant. The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall survive the expiration or any earlier
termination of this Lease. Tenant hereby appoints Landlord as the attorney-in-fact for Tenant and
authorizes Landlord, as such attorney-in-fact, to execute on behalf of Tenant any bill of sale or
other document which Landlord may deem necessary to evidence the conveyance of such property.

ARTICLE 11

LIENS

     Section 11.1 Tenant shall keep the Project, the Building and the Premises and Landlord’s
interest therein free from any liens arising from any work performed, materials furnished, or
obligations incurred by, or on behalf of Tenant (other than by Landlord pursuant to Exhibit C).
Notice is hereby given that neither Landlord nor any mortgagee or lessor of Landlord shall be
liable for any labor or materials furnished to Tenant except as furnished to Tenant by Landlord
pursuant to Exhibit C. If any lien is filed for such work or materials, such lien shall encumber
only Tenant’s interest in leasehold improvements on the Premises. Within ten (10) days after
Tenant learns of the filing of any such lien, Tenant shall notify Landlord of such lien and shall
either discharge and cancel such lien of record or post a bond sufficient under the laws of the
State of Georgia to cover the amount of the lien claim plus any penalties, interest, attorneys’
fees, court costs, and other legal expenses in connection with such lien. If Tenant fails to so
discharge or bond such lien within ten (10) calendar days after written demand from Landlord,
Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s option, to pay the full amount of such lien without
inquiry into the validity thereof, and Landlord shall be promptly reimbursed by Tenant, as
Additional Rent, for all amounts so paid by Landlord, including expenses, interest, and attorneys’
fees.

ARTICLE 12

USE AND COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

     Section 12.1 The Premises shall be used only for executive and administrative offices for the
conduct of Tenant’s business limited to the uses specifically set forth in Section 1.1 and for no
other purposes whatsoever. Tenant shall use and maintain the Premises in a clean, careful, safe,
lawful and proper manner and shall not allow within the Premises, any offensive noise, odor,
conduct or private or public nuisance or permit Tenant’s employees, agents, licensees or invitees
to create a public or private nuisance or act in a disorderly manner within the Building or in the
Project. Any statement as to the particular nature of the business to be conducted by Tenant in
the Premises and uses to be made thereof by Tenant as set forth in Section 1.1 hereof shall not
constitute a representation or warranty by Landlord that such business or uses are lawful or
permissible under any certificate or occupancy for the Premises or the Building or are otherwise
permitted by law. Landlord does, however, represent that any certificate of occupancy issued with
respect to the Premises shall allow use for executive and administrative offices.

     Section 12.2 Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole expense, (a) comply with all laws, orders,
ordinances, and regulations of federal, state, county, and municipal authorities having
jurisdiction over the Premises, including, without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act,
(b) comply with any directive, order, or citation made pursuant to law by any public officer
requiring abatement of any nuisance or which imposes upon Landlord or Tenant any duty or obligation
arising from Tenant’s occupancy or use of the Premises or from conditions which have been created
by or at the request or insistence of Tenant, or required by reason of a breach of any of Tenant’s
obligations hereunder or by or through other unit of Tenant, (c) comply with all insurance
requirements applicable to the Premises and (d) indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any loss,
cost, claim or expense which Landlord incurs or suffers by reason of Tenant’s failure to comply
with its obligations under clauses (a), (b) or (c) above. If Tenant receives notice of any such
directive, order, citation or of any violation of any law, order,

ordinance, regulation or any insurance requirement, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord in
writing of such alleged violation and furnish Landlord with a copy of such notice.

     Section 12.3 Tenant shall not use or permit the use of the Premises or any portion of the
Project for the storage, treatment, use, production or disposal of any hazardous substances or
hazardous waste (as those terms are defined under CERCLA, or RCRA or any other applicable federal,
state or local environmental protection laws). Tenant does hereby indemnify and hold Landlord
harmless from and against any and all damage to any property, penalties, expenses, claims, losses
or liabilities or injury to or death of any person as a result of Tenant’s violation of the
foregoing provision. Tenant’s indemnity shall include the obligation to reimburse Landlord for any
and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord, its agents
or employees as a result of Tenant’s violation.

ARTICLE 13

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

     Section 13.1 The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an
Event of Default (herein so called) of Tenant under this Lease: (a) if Tenant fails to pay any
Rent hereunder as and when such Rent becomes due and such failure shall continue for more than five
(5) days after Landlord gives Tenant notice of past due Rent; (b) if Tenant fails to pay Rent on
time more than twice in any period of twelve (12) months, notwithstanding that such payments have
been made within the applicable cure period; (c) if the Premises become vacant, deserted, or
abandoned for more than ten (10) consecutive days or if Tenant fails to take possession of the
Premises on the Commencement Date or promptly thereafter; (d) if Tenant permits to be done anything
which creates a lien upon the Premises and fails to discharge or bond such lien or post such
security with Landlord as is required by Article 11; (e) if Tenant violates the provisions of
Article 8 by attempting to make an unpermitted assignment or sublease; (f) if Tenant fails to
maintain in force all policies of insurance required by this Lease and such failure shall continue
for more than ten (10) days after Landlord gives Tenant notice of such failure; (g) if any petition
is filed by or against Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease under any present or future section or
chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, or under any similar law or statute of the United States or any
state thereof (which, in the case of an involuntary proceeding, is not permanently discharged,
dismissed, stayed, or vacated, as the case may be, within sixty (60) days of commencement), or if
any order for relief shall be entered against Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease in any such
proceedings; (h) if Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease becomes insolvent or makes a transfer in
fraud of creditors or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (i) if a receiver,
custodian, or trustee is appointed for the Premises or for all or substantially all of the assets
of Tenant or of any guarantor of this Lease, which appointment is not vacated within sixty (60)
days following the date of such appointment; (j) if Tenant fails to perform or observe any other
terms of this Lease and such failure shall continue for more than ten (10) days after Landlord
gives Tenant notice of such failure, or, if such failure cannot be corrected within such ten (10)
day period, if Tenant does not commence to correct such default within such ten (l0) day period and
thereafter diligently prosecute the correction of same to completion within a reasonable time and
in any event prior to the time a failure to complete such correction could cause Landlord to be
subject to prosecution for violation of any law, rule, ordinance or regulation or causes, or could
cause, a default under any mortgage, underlying lease, tenant leases or other agreements applicable
to the Project; or (k) if Tenant fails to perform any term (other than the payment of Rent) of this
Lease more than three (3) times in any period of twelve (12) months, notwithstanding that Tenant
has corrected any previous failures within the applicable cure period.

     Section 13.2 Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right, at
Landlord’s option, to elect to do any one or more of the following without further notice or demand
to Tenant: (a) terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the
Premises to Landlord, and, if Tenant fails to so surrender, Landlord shall have the right, without
notice, to enter upon and take possession of the Premises and to expel or remove Tenant and its
effects without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor, and Tenant shall,
and hereby agrees to, indemnify Landlord for all loss and damage which Landlord suffers by reason
of such termination, including damages in an amount equal to the total of (1) the costs of
recovering the Premises and all other expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with Tenant’s
default; (2) the unpaid Rent earned as of the date of termination, plus interest at the Interest
Rate; (3) all other sums of money and damages owing by Tenant to Landlord, and (4) an amount which,
at the date of such termination represents the present value (determined by using a discount rate
equal to the then average rate for Moody’s “AAA” rated corporate bonds with maturities equal to the
Remaining Term (as hereinafter defined)) of the excess, if any, of (i) the Rent, Base Rent,
Additional Rent, and all other charges and sums which would have been payable hereunder by Tenant
for the period commencing with the day following the date of such termination and ending with the
stated expiration date of the Term, as extended (hereinafter referred to as the “Remaining Term”),
over (ii) the aggregate reasonable rental value of the Premises for the same period, all of which
present value of such excess sum shall be deemed immediately due and payable (in determining the
aggregate reasonable rental value pursuant to item (ii) above, the parties hereby agree that all
relevant factors shall be considered as of the time Landlord seeks to enforce such remedy,
including, but not limited to, (A) the length of time remaining in the Term of this Lease, (B) the
then-current market conditions in the general area in which the Premises are located, (C) the
likelihood of reletting the Premises for a period of time equal to the Remaining Term, (D) the net
effective rental rates (taking into account all concessions) then being obtained for space of
similar type and size in similar type buildings in the general area in which the Premises are
located, (E) the vacancy levels in comparable quality developments in the general area in which the
Premises are located, (F) the anticipated duration of the period the Premises will be unoccupied
prior to reletting, (G) the anticipated cost of reletting, and (H) the current levels of new
construction that will be completed during the Remaining Term and the degree to which such new
construction will likely affect vacancy rates and rental rates in comparable quality developments
in the general area in which the Premises are located; such payment

12

 

shall be and constitute Landlord’s liquidated damages, Landlord and Tenant acknowledging and
agreeing that it is difficult to determine the actual damages Landlord would suffer from Tenant’s
default and that the agreed upon liquidated damages are not punitive or penalties and are just,
fair and reasonable); or (b) enter upon and take possession of the Premises without terminating
this Lease and without being liable to prosecution or any claim for damages therefor, and, if
Landlord elects, relet the Premises on such terms as Landlord deems advisable, in which event
Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the cost of repossession, renovating, repairing and altering
the Premises for a new tenant or tenants and any deficiency between the Rent payable hereunder and
the rent paid under such reletting; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be entitled to any
excess payments received by Landlord from such reletting. Landlord’s failure to relet the Premises
shall not release or affect Tenant’s liability for Rent or for damages; or (c) enter the Premises
without terminating this Lease and without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages
therefor and maintain the Premises and repair or replace any damage thereto or do anything for
which Tenant is responsible hereunder. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord immediately upon demand for
any expenses which Landlord incurs in thus effecting Tenant’s compliance under this Lease, and
Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damages with respect thereto.

     Section 13.3 No agreement to accept a surrender of the Premises and no act or omission by
Landlord or Landlord’s agents during the Term shall constitute an acceptance or surrender of the
Premises unless made in writing and signed by Landlord. No re-entry or taking possession of the
Premises by Landlord shall constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless a
written notice of such intention is given to Tenant. No provision of this Lease shall be construed
as an obligation upon Landlord to mitigate Landlord’s damages under the Lease.

     Section 13.4 No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord unless
such waiver is in writing and signed by Landlord. Landlord’s acceptance of Rent following an Event
of Default hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of such Event of Default. No custom or
practice which may grow up between the parties in connection with the terms of this Lease shall be
construed to waive or lessen Landlord’s right to insist upon strict performance of the terms of
this Lease, without a written notice thereof to Tenant from Landlord.

     Section 13.5 The rights granted to Landlord in this Article 13 shall be cumulative of every
other right or remedy provided in this Lease or which Landlord may otherwise have at law or in
equity or by statute and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not constitute an
election of remedies, prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or
remedies or constitute a forfeiture or waiver of Rent or damages accruing to Landlord by reason of
any Event of Default under this Lease. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord all costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord in the enforcement of this Lease, including all attorneys’ fees incurred in
connection with the collection of any sums due hereunder or the enforcement of any right or remedy
of Landlord.

ARTICLE 14

INSURANCE

     Section 14.1

     A. Tenant, at its sole expense, shall obtain and keep in force during the Term the following
insurance: (a) “All Risk” insurance insuring the Leasehold Improvements, Tenant’s interest in the
Premises and all property located in the Premises, including furniture, equipment, fittings,
installations, fixtures, supplies and any other personal property, leasehold improvements and
alterations (“Tenant’s Property”), in an amount equal to the full replacement value, it being
understood that no lack or inadequacy of insurance by Tenant shall in any event make Landlord
subject to any claim by virtue of any theft of or loss or damage to any uninsured or inadequately
insured property; (b) Business Interruption insurance in an amount that will reimburse Tenant for
direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils insured against under Section
14.1(a) or attributable to the prevention of access to the Premises by civil authority; and
sufficient to reimburse Tenant for Rent in the event of a casualty to, or temporary taking of, the
Building or the Premises; (c) Commercial general liability insurance written on an occurrence basis
including personal injury, bodily injury, broad form property damage, operations hazard, owner’s
protective coverage, contractual liability, with a cross liability clause and a severability of
interests clause to cover Tenant’s indemnities set forth herein, and products and completed
operations liability, in limits not less than $3,000,000.00 inclusive per occurrence or such higher
limits as Landlord may require from time to time during the Term; (d) Worker’s Compensation and
Employer’s Liability insurance, with a waiver of subrogation endorsement, in form and amount as
required by applicable law; and (e) In the event Tenant performs any repairs or alterations in the
Premises, Builder’s Risk insurance on an “All Risk” basis (including collapse) on a completed value
(non-reporting) form for full replacement value covering all work incorporated in the Building and
all materials and equipment in or about the Premises; (f) tenant’s “All Risk” Legal Liability
insurance for the replacement cost value of the Premises; and (g) any other form or forms of
insurance or any changes or endorsements to the insurance required herein as Landlord, or any
mortgagee or lessor of Landlord may require, from time to time, in form or in amount.

     B. Tenant shall have the right to include the insurance required by Section 14.lA under
Tenant’s policies of “blanket insurance,” provided that no other loss which may also be insured by
such blanket insurance shall affect the insurance coverages required hereby and further provided
that Tenant delivers to Landlord a certificate specifically stating that such coverages apply to
Landlord, the Premises and the Project. All such policies of insurance or certificates thereof
shall name Landlord, Landlord’s manager, and all mortgagees and lessors of Landlord, of which
Tenant has been notified, additional insureds, all as their respective interest may appear. All

13

 

such policies or certificates shall be issued by insurers acceptable to Landlord and in form
satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates with copies of policies,
together with satisfactory evidence of payment of premiums for such policies, by the Commencement
Date and, with respect to renewals of such policies, not later than thirty (30) days prior to the
end of the expiring term of coverage. Upon Landlord’s request Tenant shall deliver to Landlord
certified copies of such policies. All policies of insurance shall be primary and Tenant shall not
carry any separate or additional insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of any
loss or damage with any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant under this Lease. All such
policies and certificates shall contain an agreement by the insurers that the policies will not be
invalidated as they affect the interests of Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagees by reason of any
breach or violation of warranties, representations, declarations or conditions contained in the
policies and that the insurers shall notify Landlord and any mortgagee or lessor of Landlord in
writing, by Registered U.S. mail, return receipt requested, not less than forty-five (45) days
before any material change, reduction in coverage, cancellation, including cancellation for
nonpayment of premium, or other termination thereof or change therein and shall include a clause or
endorsement denying the insurer any rights or subrogation against Landlord, if such clause or
endorsement is available without additional cost to Tenant.

     Section 14.2 Landlord shall insure the Building against damage with casualty and commercial
general liability insurance, all in such amounts and with such deductible as Landlord reasonably
deems appropriate. Notwithstanding any contribution by Tenant to the cost of insurance premiums,
as provided hereinabove, Landlord shall not be required to carry insurance of any kind on Tenant’s
Property, and Tenant hereby agrees that Tenant shall have no right to receive any proceeds from any
insurance policies carried by Landlord.

     Section 14.3 Tenant shall not knowingly conduct or permit to be conducted in the Premises any
activity, or place any equipment in or about the Premises or the Building, which will invalidate
the insurance coverage in effect or increase the rate of casualty insurance or other insurance on
the Premises or the Building, and Tenant shall comply with all requirements and regulations of
Landlord’s casualty and liability insurer. If any invalidation of coverage or increase in the rate
of casualty insurance or other insurance occurs or is threatened by any insurance company due to
any act or omission by Tenant, or its agents, employees, representatives, or contractors, such
statement or threat shall be conclusive evidence that the increase in such rate is due to such act
of Tenant or the contents or equipment in or about the Premises, and, as a result thereof, Tenant
shall be liable for such increase and such amount shall be considered Additional Rent payable with
the next monthly installment of Base Rent due under this Lease. In no event shall Tenant introduce
or permit to be kept on the Premises or brought into the Building any dangerous, noxious,
radioactive or explosive substance.

     Section 14.4 Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive any right of subrogation and right of
recovery or cause of action for injury of loss to the extent that such injury or loss is covered by
fire, extended coverage, “All Risk” or similar policies covering real property or personal property
(or which would have been covered if Tenant was carrying the insurance required by this Lease).
Said waivers shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or derogation or, any other waiver or
release contained in this Lease. Written notice of the terms of the above mutual waivers shall be
given to the insurance carriers of Landlord and Tenant and the parties’ insurance policies shall be
properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of said policy by reason of such
waivers.

ARTICLE 15

DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CAUSE

     Section 15.1 If the Building or a portion thereof is damaged or destroyed by any casualty to
the extent that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, (a) repair of such damage or destruction would
not be economically feasible, or (b) the damage or destruction to the Building cannot be repaired
within three hundred sixty (360) days after the date of such damage or destruction, or if the
proceeds from insurance remaining after any required payment to any mortgagee or lessor of Landlord
are insufficient to repair such damage or destruction, Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s
option, to terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice of such termination, within sixty (60)
days after the date of such damage or destruction.

     Section 15.2 If the Premises or any portion thereof is damaged or destroyed by any casualty
against which Tenant is required to be insured under Section 14.1, and if, in Landlord’s reasonable
opinion, the Premises cannot be rebuilt or made fit for Tenant’s purposes within one hundred eighty
days (180) after the date of such damage or destruction, or if the proceeds from the insurance
Tenant is required to maintain pursuant to Article 14 hereof (or the amount of proceeds which would
have been available if Tenant was carrying such insurance) are insufficient to repair such damage
or destruction, then either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right, at the option of either party,
to terminate this Lease by giving the other written notice, within sixty (60) days after such
damage or destruction.

     Section 15.3 In the event of partial destruction or damage to the Building or the Premises
which is not subject to Section 15.1 or 15.2 or which is subject to Section 15.1 or 15.2 but the
applicable party (or parties) does not elect to terminate the Lease, but which renders the Premises
partially but not wholly untenantable, this Lease shall not terminate and Rent shall be abated in
proportion to the area of the Premises which, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, cannot be used or
occupied by Tenant as a result of such casualty. Landlord shall in such event, within a reasonable
time after the date of such destruction or damage, subject to force majeure (as defined in Section
25.6 or to Tenant Delay and to the extent and availability of insurance proceeds, restore the
Premises to as near the same condition as existed prior to such partial damage or destruction,
provided that Tenant pays to Landlord Tenant’s insurance proceeds as required in Section 15.5. In
no event shall Rent abate or shall any termination occur

14

 

if damage to or destruction of the Premises is the result of the negligence or willful act of
Tenant, or Tenant’s agents, employees, representatives, contractors, successors, assigns, licensees
or invitees.

     Section 15.4 If the Building or the Premises or any material portion thereof is destroyed by
fire or other causes at any time during the last year of the Term then either Landlord or Tenant
shall have the right, at the option of either party, to terminate this Lease by giving written
notice to the other within sixty (60) days after the date of such destruction.

     Section 15.5 Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for inconvenience, loss of business,
or annoyance arising from any repair of any portion of the Promises or the Building. If Landlord
is required by this Lease or by any mortgagee or lessor of Landlord to repair or if Landlord
undertakes to repair, Tenant shall pay to Landlord that amount of Tenant’s insurance proceeds (or
the amount which would have been received by Tenant if Tenant was carrying the insurance required
by this Lease) which insures such damage as a contribution towards such repair, and Landlord shall
use reasonable efforts to have such repairs made promptly and in a manner which will not
unnecessarily interfere with Tenants occupancy.

     Section 15.6 In the event of termination of this Lease pursuant to Sections 15.1, 15.2, or
15.4, then all Rent shall be apportioned and paid to the date on which possession is relinquished
or the date of such damage, whichever last occurs, and Tenant shall immediately vacate the Premises
according to such notice of termination; provided, however, that those provisions of this Lease
which are designated to cover matters of termination and the period thereafter shall survive the
termination hereof.

ARTICLE 16

CONDEMNATION

     Section 16.1 In the event the whole or substantially the whole of the Building or the Premises
are taken or condemned by eminent domain or by any conveyance in lieu thereof (such taking,
condemnation or conveyance in lieu thereof being hereinafter referred to as “condemnation”), the
Term shall cease and this Lease shall terminate on the earlier of the date the condemning authority
takes possession or the date title vests in the condemning authority.

     Section 16.2 In the event any portion of the Building shall be taken by condemnation (whether
or not such taking includes any portion of the Premises), which taking, in Landlord’s judgment, is
such that the Building cannot be restored in an economically feasible manner for use substantially
as originally designed, then Landlord shall have the right at Landlord’s option, to terminate this
Lease, effective as of the date specified by Landlord in a written notice of termination from
Landlord to Tenant

     Section 16.3 In the event any portion of the Parking Facilities shall be taken by
condemnation, which taking in Landlord’s judgment is such that the Parking Facilities cannot be
restored in an economically feasible manner for use substantially as originally designed, including
in such consideration the possible use of additional parking facilities in the vicinity of the
Building, then Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s option, to terminate this Lease,
effective as of the date specified by Landlord in a written notice of termination from Landlord to
Tenant.

     Section 16.4 In the event that a portion, but less than substantially the whole, of the
Premises shall be taken by condemnation, then this Lease shall be terminated as of the date of such
condemnation as to the portion of the Premises so taken, and unless Landlord exercises its option
to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 16.2, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect
as to the remainder of the Premises.

     Section 16.5 In the event of termination of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of Section
16.1, 16.2, or 16.3, the Rent shall be apportioned as of such date of termination; provided,
however, that those provisions of this Lease which are designated to cover matters of termination
and the period thereafter shall survive the termination hereof.

     Section 16.6 All compensation awarded or paid upon a condemnation of any portion of the
Project shall belong to and be the property of Landlord without participation by Tenant, and Tenant
shall have no claim against Landlord or against the condemning authority for the value of its
interest under this Lease or for the value of the Lease over the unexpired term. Nothing herein
shall be construed, however, to preclude Tenant from prosecuting any claim directly against the
condemning authority for loss of business, loss of good will, moving expenses, damage to, and cost
of removal of, trade fixtures, furniture and other personal property belonging to Tenant; provided,
however, that Tenant shall make no claim which shall diminish or adversely affect any award claimed
or received by Landlord,

     Section 16.7 If any portion of the Project other than the Building is taken by condemnation or
if the temporary use or occupancy of all or any part of the Premises shall be taken by condemnation
during the Term, this Lease shall be and remain unaffected by such condemnation, and Tenant shall
continue to pay in full the Rent payable hereunder. In the event of any such temporary taking for
use or occupancy of all or any part of the Premises, Tenant shall be entitled to appear, claim,
prove and receive the portion of the award for such taking that represents compensation for use or
occupancy of the Premises during this Term and Landlord shall be entitled to appear, claim, prove
and receive the portion of the award that represents the cost of restoration of the Premises and
the use or occupancy of the Premises after the end of the Term hereof. In the event of any such
condemnation of

15

 

any portion of the Project other than the Building, Landlord shall be entitled to appear,
claim, prove and receive all of that award.

ARTICLE 17

INDEMNIFICATION

     Section 17.1 Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord for damage to any property or
injury to, or death of, any person in, upon, or about the Project, including the Premises, arising
at any time and from any cause other than solely by reason of the negligence or willful misconduct
of Landlord, its agents, employees, representatives, or contractors. Tenant shall, and hereby
agrees to, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any damage to any property or injury to, or
death of, any person arising from the use or occupancy of the Common Areas and the Premises by
Tenant, its agents, employees, representatives, contractors, successors, assigns, licensees or
invitees, unless such damage is caused solely by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord,
its agents, employees, representatives, or contractors. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Landlord shall not be liable for any injury or damage to persons or property resulting
from the condition or design of, or any defective, Building or its mechanical systems or equipment
which may exist or occur or from any fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity,
water, rain, flood, snow, or leaks from any part of the Premises or from the pipes, appliances,
plumbing works, roof or subsurface of any floor or ceiling, or from the street or any other place,
or by dampness or by any other similar cause unless the same is caused solely by the negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees, representatives or contractors. Landlord
shall not be liable for any such damage caused by other tenants or persons in the Building or by
occupants of adjacent property thereto, or by the public, or caused by construction (unless caused
solely by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord) or by any private, public or
quasi-public work. Tenant, for itself and its agents, employees, representatives, contractors,
successors, assigns, invitees and licensees, expressly assumes all risks of injury or damage to
person or property, whether proximate or remote, resulting from the condition of the Project or any
part thereof. Tenant’s foregoing indemnity shall include attorneys’ fees, investigation costs, and
all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in any connection therewith. The
provisions of this Article l7 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease with
respect to any damage, injury, or death occurring before such expiration or termination. If
Landlord is made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Tenant or relating to this Lease
or to the Premises, and provided that in any such litigation Landlord is not finally adjudicated to
be solely at fault, then Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and
court costs, incurred by or imposed upon Landlord because of any such litigation, and the amount of
all such costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and court costs, shall be a demand
obligation owing by Tenant to Landlord. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 17 to the
contrary, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any claims resulting from the negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees, representatives, or contractors to the
extent such claims are covered by the types of insurance Tenant is to maintain pursuant to Section
14.1A.

     Section 17.2 Landlord shall, and hereby agrees to, indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from any
damages in connection with loss of life, bodily or personal injury or property damage arising from
any occurrence in the Common Areas of the Project when not solely the result of the negligence or
willful misconduct of Tenant and to the extent not covered by Tenant’s insurance.

ARTICLE 18

SUBORDINATION AND ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

     Section 18.1 This Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder are subject and subordinate to all
underlying leases now or hereafter in existence, and to any supplements, amendments, modifications,
and extensions of such leases heretofore or hereafter made and to any deeds to secure debt,
mortgages, or other security instruments which now or hereafter cover all or any portion of the
Project or any interest of Landlord therein, and to any advances made on the security thereof, and
to any increases, renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, and extensions of any of
such mortgages. This provision is declared by Landlord and Tenant to be self-operative and no
further instrument shall be required to effect such subordination of this Lease. Upon demand,
however, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord any further instruments and
certificates evidencing such subordination as Landlord, and any mortgagee or lessor of Landlord
shall reasonably require, and if Tenant fails to so execute, acknowledge and deliver such
instruments within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request, Landlord is hereby empowered to do so in
Tenant’s name and on Tenant’s behalf; Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as Tenant’s agent
and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing, acknowledging, and delivering any such
instruments and certificates. Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold, delay, or defer its written
consent to reasonable modifications in this Lease which are a condition of any construction,
interim or permanent financing for the Project or any reciprocal easement agreement with facilities
in the vicinity of the Building, provided that such modifications do not increase the obligations
of Tenant hereunder or materially and adversely affect Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises.
This Lease is further subject and subordinate to: (a) all applicable ordinances of any government
authority having jurisdiction over the Project, relating to easements, franchises, and other
interests or rights upon, across, or appurtenant to the Project; and (b) all utility easements and
agreements, which now or hereafter benefit or burden the Project

     Section 18.2 Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing provisions of Section 18.1, any
mortgagee or lessor of Landlord shall have the right at anytime to subordinate any such mortgage or
underlying lease to this Lease, or to any of the provisions hereof, on such terms and subject to
such conditions as such mortgagee or lessor of Landlord may consider appropriate in its discretion.
At any time, before or after the

16

 

institution of any proceedings for the foreclosure of any such mortgage, or the sale of the
Building under any such mortgage, or the termination of any underlying lease, Tenant shall upon
request of such mortgagee or any person or entities succeeding to the interest of such mortgagee or
the purchaser at any foreclosure sale (“Successor Landlord”), automatically become the Tenant (or
if the Premises has been validly subleased, the subtenant) of the Successor Landlord, without
change to the terms or other provisions of this Lease (or, in the case of a permitted sublease,
without change in this Lease or in the instrument setting forth the terms of such sublease);
provided, however, that the Successor Landlord shall not be (i) bound by any payment made by Tenant
of Rent or Additional Rent for more than one (1) month in advance, except for a Security Deposit
previously paid to Landlord (and then only if such Security Deposit has been deposited with and is
under the control of the Successor Landlord), (ii) bound by any termination, modification,
amendment or surrender of the Lease done without the Successor Landlord’s consent, (iii) liable for
any damages or subject to any offset or defense by Tenant to the payment of Rent by reason of any
act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord), or (iv) personally or corporately
liable, in any event, beyond the limitations on landlord liability set forth in Section 25.5 of
this Lease. This agreement of Tenant to attorn to a Successor Landlord shall survive any such
foreclosure sale, trustee’s sale conveyance in lieu thereof or termination of any underlying lease.
Tenant shall upon demand at any time, before or after any such foreclosure or termination execute,
acknowledge, and deliver to the Successor Landlord any written instruments and certificates
evidencing such attornment as such Successor Landlord may reasonably require; provided, however,
that Landlord shall use its reasonable efforts to require that such agreement provide that upon
such attornment as long as Tenant is not in default hereunder, Tenant’s possession of the Premises
under this Lease shall not be disturbed.

     Section 18.3 Tenant shall, from time to time, within ten (10) days after request from
Landlord, or from any mortgagee or lessor of Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver in
recordable form a certificate certifying, to the extent true, that this Lease is in full force and
effect and unmodified (or, if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and
effect as modified and stating the modifications); that the Term has commenced and the full amount
of the Rent then accruing hereunder; the date to which the Rent has been paid; that Tenant has
accepted possession of the Premises and that any improvements required by the terms of this Lease
to be made by Landlord have been completed to the satisfaction of Tenant; the amount, if any, that
Tenant has paid to Landlord as a Security Deposit; that no Rent under this Lease has been paid more
than thirty (30) days in advance of its due date; that the address for notices to be sent to Tenant
is as set forth in this Lease (or has been changed by notice duly given and is as set forth in the
certificate); that Tenant, as of the date of such certificate has no charge, lien, or claim of
offset under this Lease or otherwise against Rent or other charges due or to become due hereunder;
that, to the knowledge of Tenant, Landlord is not then in default under this Lease; and such other
matters as may be reasonably requested by Landlord or any mortgagee or lessor of Landlord. Any
such certificate may be relied upon by Landlord, any Successor Landlord, or any mortgagee or lessor
of Landlord. Landlord agrees periodically to furnish, when reasonably requested in writing by
Tenant, certificates signed by Landlord containing information similar to the foregoing
information.

     Section 18.4 No act or failure to act on the part of Landlord which would entitle Tenant under
the terms of this Lease, or by law, to be relieved of Tenant’s obligations hereunder or to
terminate this Lease, shall result in a release of such obligations or a termination of this Lease
unless (a) Tenant has given notice by registered or certified mail to any mortgagee or lessor of
Landlord whose address shall have been furnished to Tenant, and (b) Tenant offers such mortgagee or
lessor of Landlord a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain
possession of the Premises by power of sale or judicial foreclosure, if such should prove necessary
to effect a cure.

ARTICLE 19

SURRENDER OF THE PREMISES

     Section 19.1 Upon the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Lease, or upon any

Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall peacefully vacate and surrender the Premises to
Landlord in good order, broom clean and in the same condition as at the beginning of the Term or as

hundred percent (200%) of the monthly portion of Rent in effect as of the date of expiration or
earlier termination or two hundred percent (200%) of the fair market rental value of the Premises,
and subject to all of the other terms, charges and expenses set forth herein except any right to
renew this Lease or to expand the Premises or any right to additional services. The foregoing
sentence shall in no event be construed to permit such holding over without Landlord’s consent.
Tenant shall also be liable to Landlord for all damages (including consequential damages) which
Landlord suffers because of any holding over by Tenant, and Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against
all claims made by any other tenant or prospective tenant against Landlord resulting from delay by

keep the Security Deposit segregated from other funds of Landlord. Tenant shall not assign or in
any way encumber the Security Deposit. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default by Tenant,

further liability with respect to the return of the Security Deposit to the original Tenant

by any such broker or agent for a brokerage fee or commission, finder’s fee, or any other
compensation of any kind or nature in connection herewith, other than with the Brokers listed in
Section l.1(R), and each party shall, and hereby agrees to, indemnify and hold the other harmless
from all costs (including court costs, investigation costs, and attorneys’ fees), expenses, or
liability for commissions or other compensation claimed by any broker or agent with respect to this
Lease which arise out of any agreement or dealings, or alleged agreement or dealings, between the

     Section 23.1 Tenant and Tenant’s servants, employees, agents, visitors, and licensees shall
observe faithfully and comply strictly with all Rules and Regulations (herein so called) attached
to this Lease as such Rules and Regulations may be changed from time to time. Landlord shall at
all times have the right to make reasonable changes in and additions to such Rules and Regulations;
provided Landlord gives Tenant prior notice of such changes and provided that such new rules and
regulations or changes in existing rules and regulations do not conflict with this Lease, and do
not materially interfere with the lawful conduct of Tenant’s business in the Premises. Any failure
by Landlord to enforce any of the Rules and Regulations now or hereafter in effect, either against
Tenant or any other tenant in the Building, shall not constitute a waiver of any such Rules and
Regulations. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for the failure or refusal by any other
tenant, guest, invitee; visitor, or occupant of the Building to comply with any of the Rules and
Regulations.

ARTICLE 24

NOTICES

costs, and any other legal expenses and court costs incurred by the prevailing party in such action
or proceeding.

     Section 25.2 Reimbursements. Wherever the Lease requires Tenant to reimburse Landlord
for the cost of any item, such costs will be the reasonable and customary charge periodically
established by Landlord for such item. Landlord shall keep in its on-site manager’s office a

payable upon demand as Additional Rent.

     Section 25.3 Severability. Every agreement contained in this Lease is, and shall be

thereof to any person or circumstances shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining agreements
contained in this Lease shall not be affected.

     Section 25.4 Non-Merger. There shall be no merger of this Lease with any ground
leasehold interest or the fee estate in the Project or any part thereof by reason of the fact that

Lease as well as any ground leasehold interest or fee estate in the Project or any interest in such
fee estate.

     Section 25.5 Landlord’s Liability. Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary
notwithstanding, Tenant agrees that Tenant shall look solely to the estate and property of Landlord
in the Project for the collection of any judgment or other judicial process requiring the payment
of money by Landlord for any default or breach by Landlord under this Lease, subject, however, to
the prior rights of any mortgagee or lessor of the Project. No other assets of Landlord or any
partners, shareholders, or other principals of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or
other judicial process for the satisfaction of Tenant’s claim

     Section 25.6 Force Majeure. Whenever the period of time is herein prescribed for

to force majeure, which term shall include strikes, riots, acts of God, shortages of labor or
materials, war, governmental approvals, laws, regulations, or restrictions, or any other cause of
any kind whatsoever which is beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or Tenant. Force majeure
shall not excuse or delay Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent or any other amount due under this Lease.

     Section 25.7 Headings. The article headings contained in this Lease are for
convenience only and shall not enlarge or limit the scope or meaning of the various and several
articles hereof. Words, in the singular number shall be held to include the plural, unless the

obligations shall be joint and several obligations of Tenant and such guarantor, and Landlord need
not first proceed against Tenant hereunder before proceeding against such guarantor, and any such
guarantor shall not be released from its guarantee for any reason, including any amendment of this
Lease, any forbearance by Landlord or waiver of any of Landlord’s rights, the failure to give
Tenant or such guarantor any notices, or the release of any party liable for the payment or
performance of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in
this Section 25.8 stall be deemed to override Article 8.

     Section 25.9 Landlord’s Representations. Neither Landlord nor Landlord’s agents or
brokers have made any representations or promises with respect to the Premises, the Building, the
Parking Facilities, the Land, or any other portions of the Project except as herein expressly set
forth and all reliance with respect to any representations or promises is based solely on those
contained herein. No rights, easement, or licenses are acquired by Tenant under this Lease by
implication or otherwise except as, and unless expressly set forth in this Lease.

19

 

     Section 25.10 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Lease and the Exhibits and Riders
attached hereto set forth the entire agreement between the parties and cancel all prior
negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements, and understandings, if any, between Landlord and
Tenant regarding the subject matter of this Lease. No amendment or modification of this Lease
shall be binding or valid unless expressed in writing executed by both parties hereto.

     Section 25.11 Tenant’s Authority. If Tenant signs as a corporation, limited
partnership or limited liability company, execution hereof shall constitute a representation and
warranty by Tenant that Tenant is a duly organized and existing corporation, limited partnership or
limited liability company, that Tenant has been and is qualified to do business in the State of
Georgia and in good standing with the State of Georgia, that the corporation, limited partnership
or limited liability company, has full right and authority to enter into this Lease, and that all
persons signing on behalf of the corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company,
were authorized to do so by appropriate corporate action. If Tenant signs as a general
partnership, trust, or other legal entity, execution hereof shall constitute a representation and
warranty by Tenant that Tenant has complied with all applicable laws, rules, and governmental
regulations relative to Tenant’s right to do business in the State of Georgia, that such entity has
the full right and authority to enter into this Lease, and that all persons signing on behalf of
Tenant were authorized to do so by any and all necessary or appropriate general partnership, trust,
or other actions. 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 which may be required by the jurisdiction in which the Project is located to permit the
issuance of necessary permits and certificates for Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises.

     Section 25.12 Governing Law. This Lease shall be governed by and construed under the
laws of the State of Georgia. Any action brought to enforce or interpret this Lease shall be
brought in the court of appropriate jurisdiction in the county where the Building is located.
Should any provision of this Lease require judicial interpretation, Landlord and Tenant hereby
agree and stipulate that the court interpreting or considering same shall not apply the presumption
that the terms hereof shall be more strictly construed against a party by reason of any rule or
conclusion that a document should be construed more strictly against the party who itself or
through its agents prepared the same, it being agreed that all parties hereto have participated in
the preparation of this Lease and that each party had full opportunity to consult legal counsel of
its choice before the execution of this Lease.

     Section 25.13 Tenant’s Use of Name of the Building. Tenant shall not, without the
prior written consent of Landlord, use the name of the Building for any purpose other than as the
address of the business to be conducted by Tenant in the Premises, and Tenant shall not do or
permit the doing of anything in connection with Tenant’s business or advertising (including
brokers’ flyers promoting sublease space) which in the reasonable judgment of Landlord may reflect
unfavorably on Landlord or the Building or confuse or mislead the public as to any apparent
connection or relationship between Tenant and Landlord, the Building, or the Land.

     Section 25.14 No Easement for Light, Air or View. Any elimination or shutting off of
light, air, or view by any structure which may be erected on lands adjacent to the Building shall
in no way affect this Lease and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant with respect thereto.

     Section 25.15 Changes to Project by Landlord. Landlord shall have the unrestricted
right to make changes to all portions of the Project in Landlord’s reasonable discretion for the
purpose of improving access or security to the Project or the flow of pedestrian and vehicular
traffic therein. Landlord shall have the right at any time, without the same constituting an
actual or constructive eviction and without incurring any liability to Tenant therefor, to change
the arrangement or location of entrances or passageways, doors and doorways, corridors, elevators,
stairs, bathrooms, or any other Common Areas so long as reasonable access to the Premises remains
available. Landlord shall also have the right to (a) rearrange, change, expand or contract
portions of the Project constituting Common Areas and to add new improvements thereon (b) to use
Common Areas while engaged in making improvements, repairs or alterations to the Project, or any
portion thereof, and (c) to do and perform such other acts and make such other changes in to or
with respect to the Project, or any portion thereof, as Landlord may, in the exercise of sound
business judgment, deem to be appropriate. Landlord shall be entitled to change the name or address
of the Building or the Project. Landlord shall have the right to close, from time to time, the
Common Areas and other portions of the Project for such temporary periods as Landlord deems legally
sufficient to evidence Landlord’s ownership and control thereof and to prevent any claim of adverse
possession by, or any implied or actual dedication to, the public or any party other than Landlord.

     Section 25.16 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Lease.

     Section 25.17 Landlord’s Acceptance of Lease. The submission of this Lease to Tenant
shall not be construed as an offer and Tenant shall not have any rights with respect thereto unless
said Lease is consented to by mortgagee, and any lessor of Landlord, to the extent such consent is
required, and Landlord executes a copy of this Lease and delivers the same to Tenant.

     Section 25.18 Performance by Tenant. All covenants and agreements to be performed by
Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease shall be performed by Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense, and without any abatement of Rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any Rent, other than Base
Rent, required to be paid by it hereunder or shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be
performed hereunder, and such failure shall continue for longer than the period of cure, if any,
permitted in Section 13.1, Landlord may at its option, without waiving or releasing Tenant from
obligations of Tenant, make any such payment or perform any such other act on behalf of Tenant.
All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs, together with interest thereon at
the

20

 

Interest Rate, from the date of such payment by Landlord, shall be payable to Landlord on demand.
Tenant covenants to pay any such sums, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or
remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of the non-payment thereof by Tenant
as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of Rent.

     Section 25.19 Financial Statements. At any time during the term of this Lease, Tenant
shall, upon ten (10) days prior written notice from Landlord, provide Landlord with a current
financial statement and financial statements of the two (2) years prior to the current financial
statement year. Such statement shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and, if such is the normal practice of Tenant, shall be audited by an independent
certified public accountant.

     Section 25.20 Licensee Disclosure. Landlord advises Tenant that Prentiss Properties
Limited, Inc. (“PPL”) is the agent of Landlord in connection with this Lease and that Landlord is
paying PPL a commission in connection with this Lease. PPL has not represented Tenant in this
transaction. To the extent that another broker is listed in Section 1.1R above, said broker has
represented the tenant in this transaction and has not represented Landlord in this transaction,
but Landlord is paying such other broker a commission in connection with this Lease.

     Section 25.21 Confidentiality. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees with Landlord
that the amount of Rent due and payable under this Lease and all other terms of this Lease
negotiated between Landlord and Tenant shall be and remain confidential to the parties to this
Lease, and Tenant in consideration of Landlord’s entering into this Lease, hereby agrees with
Landlord that Tenant shall not disclose in any manner to any third party (except as may be required
by law) the amount of the Rent due and payable by Tenant under this Lease or any of the other terms
of this Lease.

     Section 25.22 Homestead. 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.

     Section 25.23 Landlord’s Lien. Landlord shall at all times have a valid first lien
upon all of the personal property of Tenant situated in the Premises to secure payment of rent and
other sums and charges due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord and to secure the performance by
Tenant of each of the covenants, warranties, agreements and conditions hereof. Said personal
property shall not be removed from the Premises without the consent of Landlord until all arrearage
in Rent and other charges, as well as any and all other sums of money due hereunder shall first
have been paid and discharged and until this Lease and all of the covenants, conditions, agreements
and provisions have been fully performed by Tenant. Tenant shall from time to time execute any
financing statements and other instruments necessary to perfect the security interest granted
herein. The lien herein granted may be foreclosed in the manner and form provided by law for the
foreclosure of security instruments or chattel mortgages, or in any other manner provided by law.
This Lease is intended as and constitutes a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State of Georgia.

     Section 25.24 Waiver of Breach. No waiver of any breach of the covenants, warranties,
agreements, provisions, or conditions contained is 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 breach shall occur and after which be compromised, settled or adjusted, this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect as if no breach had occurred.

     Section 25.25 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.

     Section 25.26 Waiver of Jury Trial. TENANT HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM FILED BY
EITHER PARTY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS LEASE
AND TENANT’S OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES, OR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF LANDLORD IN CONNECTION
THEREWITH.

ARTICLE 26

SUBSTITUTION SPACE

     Section 26.1 Landlord shall have the right at any time prior to the end of the Term of this
lease, or any renewal or extension hereof, to substitute, instead of the Premises, other space
within the Building, or other buildings within the Office Park (which space shall have a Net
Rentable Area of not less than the Net Rentable Area in the Premises as of the date of such
substitution) hereinafter called the “Substitution Space”. If Landlord desires to exercise this
right but, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion there is no suitable Substitution Space then available
in the Office Park, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to
Tenant on a date specified by Landlord which date shall not be sooner than one hundred twenty (120)
days after the date of Landlord’s notice to Tenant.

21

 

     Section 26.2 If Landlord desires to exercise such right prior to the Commencement Date,
Landlord shall give written notice thereof to Tenant not later than thirty (30) days prior to the
effective date of such substitution, which notice shall specify the Substitution Space in question
and the description of the Premises set forth in the lease shall, without further act on the part
of Landlord or Tenant be deemed amended so that the Substitution Space shall, for all purposes, be
deemed the Premises hereunder and all of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions, and
agreements of this lease, including those agreements to pay Rent, shall continue in full force and
effect and shall apply to the Substitution Space. The Leasehold Improvements in the Substitution
Space shall be completed in the manner set forth in Exhibit C of the lease, and the costs thereof
shall be allocated between Landlord and Tenant as described therein; provided, however, that if
prior to Landlord’s notice of its election to substitute the Substitution Space for the Premises,
Tenant has reasonably incurred costs or expenses in connection with planning or construction of the
Leasehold Improvements in the original Premises and Tenant is (i) unable to use the plans or
materials in question in connection with the Leasehold improvements in the Substitution Space or
(ii) unable to cancel orders for or return the materials in question for credit, Landlord shall
reimburse Tenant for such costs and expenses (net of all applicable credits) upon presentation by
Tenant of appropriate invoices and other substantiating materials therefor in form reasonably
acceptable to Landlord.

     Section 26.3 If Landlord desires to exercise such right after the Commencement Date, Landlord
shall give Tenant at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice thereof specifying the effective
date of such substitution, whereupon; as of such effective date: (a) the description of the
Premises set forth in this lease shall without further act on the part of Landlord or Tenant, be
deemed amended so that the Substitution Space shall, for all purposes, be deemed the Premises
hereunder, and all of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions, and agreements of this Lease,
including those agreements to pay Rent, shall continue in full force and effect and shall apply to
the Substitution Space, and (b) Tenant shall move from the present Premises into the Substitution
Space and shall vacate and surrender possession to Landlord of the present Premises, and if Tenant
continues to occupy the present Premises after such effective date, then thereafter; during the
period of such occupancy, Tenant shall pay Rent for the present Premises as set forth in this
Lease, in addition to the Rent for the Substitution Space at the above-described rates. Tenant
shall accept possession of the Substitution Space in its “as-is” condition as of such effective
date.

     Section 26.4 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 26.3 above, if Landlord exercises its
right to substitute the Substitution Space for the Premises after the Commencement Date, then
Tenant shall have the option to require Landlord to alter the Substitution Space in the same manner
as the present Premises were finished out or altered pursuant to the Lease. Such option shall be
exercised, if at all, by notice from Tenant to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after the
aforesaid notice from Landlord to Tenant of such proposed substitution; otherwise, such option in
favor of Tenant shall be null and void. Tenant shall not have the right to exercise such option at
any time when Tenant is in default under any of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions, or
agreements of this Lease. If such option is validly so exercised by Tenant: (a) Tenant shall
continue to occupy the present Premises (upon all of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions,
and agreements of this Lease, including the covenant for the payment of Rent) until the date on
which Landlord shall have substantially completed such alteration work in the Substitution Space;
and (b) Tenant shall move from the present Premises into the Substitution Space immediately upon
the date of such substantial completion by Landlord and shall vacate and surrender possession to
Landlord of the present Premises after such date, then, thereafter during the period of such
occupancy Tenant shall pay Rent for the present Premises as set forth in this lease in addition to
the Rent for the Substitution Space at the above-described rates. With respect to such alteration
work in the Substitution Space, if Tenant request materials or installations other than those
originally installed by Landlord, or if Tenant shall make changes in the work (such non-original
materials or installations or changes being subject to Landlord’s prior written approval), and if
such non-original materials or installations or changes shall delay the work to be performed by
Landlord, or if Tenant shall otherwise delay the substantial completion of the work, the occurrence
of such delays shall in no event postpone the date for the commencement of the payment of Rent for
such Substitution Space beyond the date on which such work would have been substantially completed
but for such delays, and in addition, Tenant shall continue to pay Rent for the present Premises as
set forth in this Lease until it vacates and surrenders same as aforesaid. Landlord at its
discretion may substitute materials of like quality for the materials originally utilized.

     Section 26.5 If Landlord exercises this relocation right after the Commencement Date, Landlord
shall reimburse Tenant for Tenant’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for moving Tenant’s
furniture, equipment, supplies and telephones and telephone equipment from the present Premises to
the Substitution Space and for reprinting Tenant’s stationery of the same quality and quantity of
Tenant’s stationery supply on hand immediately prior to Landlord’s notice to Tenant of the exercise
of this substitution right. Tenant shall also be reimbursed by Landlord for the Tenant’s
unamortized cost of Leasehold Improvements, if any, installed in the original Premises at Tenant’s
expense.

     Section 26.6 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 26, instead of
relocating the Premises to Substitution Space, Landlord may terminate this Lease upon no less than
ninety (90) days written notice to Tenant. On the effective date of such termination, the
obligations of Landlord and Tenant under the Lease, including Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent,
shall terminate, except for those matters which expressly survive the expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease.

proportionate part of the Common Areas located on such floor based upon the ratio which Tenant’s
Net Rentable Area (excluding Common Areas) on such floor bears to the aggregate Net Rentable Area
(excluding Common Areas) on such floor, plus an allocation of the square footage of the Building’s
Central Areas. In the case of both single and multiple tenant floors, telephone, electrical,
mechanical, maintenance, janitorial or security rooms not included in the Building’s Central Areas
but which serve more than one floor shall be considered Common Areas and shall be allocated among
all tenants whose premises are served thereby, regardless of whether such premises are located on
the same floor as the rooms in question. Such allocation shall be made in accordance with the
proportion of the Net Rentable Area so served. No deductions from Net Rentable Area shall be made
for columns or projections necessary to the Building. Net Rentable Area of the Building shall
include office and retail space; it being understood, however, that the foregoing formula be used
in the calculation of the Net Rentable Area of office space shall not necessarily be the formula
used by Landlord to calculate the Net Ratable Area of any retail space in the Building. (g)

whatsoever against Landlord under or with respect to this Lease or with respect to Tenant’s use or
occupancy of the Premises. (h) A “repair” shall be deemed to include such rebuilding, replacement
and restoration as maybe necessary to achieve and maintain good working order and condition. (i)
The “termination of this Lease” and words of like import includes the expiration of the Term or the
cancellation of this Lease pursuant to any of the provisions of this Lease or to law. Upon the
termination of this Lease, the Term shall end at 11:59 p.m. on the date of termination as if such
date were the Expiration Date, and neither party shall have any further obligation or liability to
the other after such termination except (i) as shall be expressly provided for in this Lease and
(ii) for such obligations as by their nature or under the circumstances can only be or by the
provisions of this Lease, may be, performed after such termination and, in any event, unless
expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, any liability for a payment (which shall be apportioned
as of the date of such termination) which shall have accrued to or with respect to any period
ending at the time of termination shall survive the termination of this Lease. (j) The “terms of
this Lease” shall be deemed to include all terms, covenants, conditions, provisions, obligations,
limitations, restrictions, reservations and agreements contained in this Lease. (k) “Tenant” shall
