Sublessor subleases to Sublessee, and Sublessee subleases from Sublessor, that certain premises or portion thereof known by unit number 13.200, consisting of approximately 2,584 square feet (the "Premises"). The Premises are outlined and depicted on the floor plan attached to this Sublease as Exhibit "A." The Premises are located in a building being situated on the real property described on Exhibit "B" attached hereto. 2. Term. 2.1 The term of this Sublease shall be for 2 Years commencing on July 1, 1997 (the "Commencement Date") and ending on June 30, 1999 (the "Termination Date") unless sooner terminated pursuant to any provision thereof. 2.2 Notwithstanding the Commencement Date, if for any reason Sublessor cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Sublessee on the Commencement Date, Sublessor shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Sublease or the obligations of Sublessee hereunder or extend the term hereof, but in such case Sublessee shall not be obligated to pay rent until possession of the Premises is tendered to Sublessee; provided, however, that if Sublessor shall not have delivered possession of the Premises within sixty (60) days from the Commencement Date, Sublessee may, at Sublessee's option, by notice in writing to Sublessor within ten (10) days after such 60-day period, cancel this Sublease, in which event the parties shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder. If Sublessee occupies the Premises prior to the Commencement Date, such occupancy shall be subject to all of the provisions hereof, such occupancy shall be subject to all of the provisions hereof, such occupancy shall not advance the Termination Date and Sublessee shall pay rent for such period at the monthly rate set forth below. 3. Rent. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor as rent for the Premises equal monthly payments of $2,549.55, in advance, on the first day of each month of the term hereof. Sublessee shall pay Sublessor upon the execution hereof $2,549.55 as rent for July 1, 1997 through June 30, 1998, $2,549.55 per month July 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999, $2,721.81 per month Rent for any period during the term hereof which is for less than one month shall be a pro rata portion of the monthly payment. Rent shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America to Sublessor at 13 Corporate Square, Suite 200, Atlanta, GA 30329 or to such other persons or at such other places as Sublessor may designate in writing. 4. Security Deposit. Sublessee shall deposit with Sublessor upon execution hereof $2,549.55 (the "Security Deposit") as security for Sublessee's faithful performance of Sublessee's obligations hereunder. If Sublessee fails to pay rent or other charges due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Sublease, Sublessor may use, apply or retain all or any portion of the Security Deposit for the payment of any rent or other charge in default or for the payment of any other sum to which Sublessor may become obligated by reason of Sublessee's default, or to 2 compensate Sublessor for any loss or damage which Sublessor may suffer thereby. If Sublessor so uses or applies all or any portion of the Security Deposit, Sublessee shall within ten (10) days after written demand therefore deposit cash with Sublessor in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full amount hereinabove stated and Sublessee's failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Sublease. Sublessor shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general accounts. If Sublessee performs all of Sublessee's obligations hereunder, the Security Deposit, or so much thereof as has not theretofore been applied by Sublessor, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other increment for its use, to Sublessee at the expiration of the term hereof, and after Sublessee has vacated the Premises. No trust relationship is created herein between Sublessor and Sublessee with respect to the Security Deposit. 5. Use. 5.1 The premises shall be used and occupied only for General Office Use and for no other purpose. 5.2 (a) Sublessor warrants to Sublessee that the Premises, in its existing state, but without regard to the use which Sublessee will use the Premises, does not violate any applicable building code, regulation or ordinance at the time that this Sublease is executed. In the event that it is determined that this warranty has been violated, then it shall be the obligation of Sublessor, after written notice from Sublessee, to promptly, at Sublessor's sole cost and expense, rectify any such violation. In the event that Sublessee does not give to Sublessor written notice of a violation of this warranty within one (1) year from the Commencement Date, it shall be conclusively deemed that such violation did not exist and the correction of the same shall be the obligation of Sublessee. (b) Except as provided in paragraph 5.2(a) above, Sublessee shall, at Sublessee's expense, comply promptly with all applicable statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, restrictions of record, and requirements in effect during the term or any part of the term hereof regulating the use by Sublessee of the Premises. Sublessee shall not use or permit the use of the Premises in any manner that will tend to create waste or a nuisance or, if there shall be more than one tenant of the building containing the Premises, which shall tend to disturb such other tenants. 5.3 Except as provided in paragraph 5.2(a) above, Sublessee hereby accepts the Premises in its condition existing as of the date hereof, subject to all applicable zoning, municipal, county and state laws, ordinances, regulations and all matters of record governing and regulating the use of the Premises, and accepts this Sublease subject thereto and to all matters disclosed thereby. Sublessee acknowledges that neither Sublessor nor Sublessor's agents have made any representation or warranty as to the suitability of the Premises for the conduct of Sublessee's business. 6. Master Lease. 6.1 Sublessor is the tenant or lessee of the Premises by virtue of that certain lease made and entered into by and between Master Lessor, as landlord or lessor, and Sublessor, as tenant or lessee, dated March 14, 1991 (the "Master Lease"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "C." This Sublease is and shall be at all times subject, subordinate and inferior to the Master Lease. 6.2 The terms, conditions and respective obligations of Sublessor and Sublessee to each other under this Sublease shall be governed by and the same as the terms, conditions and obligations of the Master Lease, except for those provisions of the Master Lease which are directly contradicted by this Sublease in which event the terms of this Sublease shall control over the Master Lease. Therefore, for purposes of this Sublease, as between Sublessor and Sublessee, wherever in the Master Lease the word "Landlord" or "Lessor" is used it shall be deemed to mean Sublessor, and 2 3 wherever in the Master Lease the word "Tenant" or "Lessee" is used it shall be deemed to mean Sublessee. 6.3 During the term of this Sublease and for all periods subsequent to the term of this Sublease for obligations which arise prior to the termination of this Sublease, Sublessee expressly assumes and agrees to pay, perform, discharge and comply with, for the benefit of Sublessor and Master Lessor, each and every debt, duty and obligation of Sublessor under the Master Lease with respect to the Premises. The debts, duties and obligations that Sublessee has assumed and agreed to pay, perform, discharge and comply with under this paragraph are hereinafter referred to as the "Sublessee's Assumed Obligations." The obligations that Sublessee has not assumed under this paragraph are hereinafter referred to as the "Sublessor's Remaining Obligations." 6.4 Sublessee shall hold Sublessor harmless of and from all liability, judgments, costs, damages, claims or demands, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of Sublessee's failure to pay, perform, discharge and comply with Sublessee's Assumed Obligations. Sublessor agrees to maintain the Master Lease during the entire term of this Sublease, subject, however, to any earlier termination of the Master Lease without the fault of Sublessor, and to pay, perform, discharge and comply with Sublessor's Remaining Obligations. 7. Assignment of Sublease. 7.1 Sublessor hereby assigns and transfers to Master Lessor the Sublessor's interest in this Sublease and all rentals and income arising therefrom, subject however to the terms of paragraph 7.2 below. 7.2 Master Lessor, by executing this Sublease, agrees that until a default shall occur in the performance of Sublessor's obligations under the Master Lease, that Sublessor may receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing under this Sublease. However, if Sublessor shall default in the performance of its obligations to Master Lessor, then Master Lessor, may, at its option, receive and collect, directly from Sublessee, all rent owing and to be owed under this Sublease. Master Lessor shall not, by reason of this assignment of this Sublease nor by any reason of the collection of the rents from Sublessee, be deemed liable to Sublessee for any failure of Sublessor to perform and comply with Sublessor's Remaining Obligations or otherwise. 7.3 Sublessor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Sublessee, upon receipt of any written notice from Master Lessor stating that a default exists in the performance of Sublessor's obligations under the Master Lease, to pay to Master Lessor the rents due and to become due under this Sublease. Sublessor agrees that Sublessee shall have the right to rely upon any such statement and request from Master Lessor, and that Sublessee shall pay such rents to Master Lessor without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such default exists and notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Sublessor to the contrary, and Sublessor shall have no right or claim against Sublessee for any such rents so paid by Sublessee. 7.4 No changes or modifications shall be made to this Sublease without the prior written consent of Master Lessor. 8. Consent of Master Lessor. 8.1 In the event that the Master Lease requires that Sublessor obtain the consent of Master Lessor to any subletting by Sublessor, then this Sublease shall not be effective unless, within 10 days of the date hereof, Master Lessor signs this Sublease thereby giving its consent to this Sublease. 3 4 8.2 In the event that the obligations of Sublessor under the Master Lease have been guaranteed by third parties, then neither this Sublease nor the Master Lessor's consent, shall be effective unless, within 10 days of the date hereof, the guarantors sign this Sublease thereby giving their consent to this Sublease. 8.3 In the event that Master Lessor does give such consent, then: (a) Such consent will not release Sublessor of its debts, duties or obligations, or alter the primary liability of Sublessor to pay the rent and pay, perform, discharge and comply with all of the debts, duties and obligations of Sublessor to be performed, under the Master Lease. (b) The acceptance of rent by Master Lessor from Sublessee or anyone else liable under the Master Lease shall not be deemed a waiver by Master Lessor of any provisions of the Master Lease. (c) The consent of this Sublease shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent subletting or assignment. (d) In the event of any default of Sublessor under the Master Lease, Master Lessor may proceed directly against Sublessor, any guarantors or anyone else liable under the Master Lease or this Sublease without first exhausting Master Lessor's remedies against any other person or entity liable thereon to Master Lessor. (e) Master Lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings or assignments of the Master Lease or this Sublease or any amendments or modifications thereto or hereto without notifying Sublessor nor anyone else liable under the Master Lease and without obtaining their consent, and such action shall not relieve such persons from liability. (f) In the event that Sublessor shall default in its obligations under the Master Lease, then Master Lessor, at its option and without being obligation to do so, may require Sublessee to attorn to Master Lessor by written notice to Sublessee from Master Lessor, in which event Master Lessor shall undertake the obligations of Sublessor under this Sublease from the time of the exercise of such option to the termination of this Sublease, but Master Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents nor any security deposits paid by Sublessee, nor shall Master Lessor be liable for any defaults of Sublessor under this Sublease.
